"AGENTS OF--...FLIGHT--...THIS IS HANK--...VISION CORE HAS GONE--...
--GENCE ENGINES ARE--... EARTHS--... DESYCHRONIZE--... IMMEDIATE ASSISTANCE-...!"
Distressed chatter along with radio static fills the helmet of an unresponsive metal armour. The suit lies on the ground dormant along with any signs of life inside. The lights in the eyes, main and secondary reactors remained unlit, and the armour itself had signs of being well-worn in battle. Burn marks and deep lacerations appeared throughout the suit which tainted the bright red and gold paint job. This was the armour of Iron Man, a hero who is otherwise known as Tony Stark in most Universes. The Iron Man is an illustrious hero known for using his hyper-intellect and vast amounts of resources to create technology that could rival Gods and beings alike, all while being a normal human.
However, technology can only get so far against beings that have the power to decimate the universe or manipulate reality to their whim with a single thought, and it seems that the suit encountered something that even the golden Avenger couldn't handle.
<DEFIBRILLATION.>
--SUCCESSFUL--"GGYAAH!"
With a quick jolt and a gasp of life, the armoured avenger quickly flings his upper body forward. Taking a few moments to adjust his sharp breathing, he calms and regains himself. Then he stands up and observes his surroundings. He isn't met with the relaxing familiarity of Earth and instead finds himself in an area high above the clouds. As he looks down he finds himself on a white stone pillar that extended downwards seemingly without end. At a loss for words, he wastes no time looking for an answer and turns to his A.I assistant.
"B.O.S.S... Where am I?..."
He asks, growing more overly cautious as time progresses. The ominous yet uncanny resemblance to that of earth's atmosphere was enough to make him grow weary.
<NAVIGATION SYSTEM. OFFLINE>
<GPS COORDINATES: <UNKNOWN.>>
<COMPASS SYSTEM. ERROR><ESTAMATED ANALYSIS: NO LONGER ON PRIMARY EARTH.>
A halftoned disembodied voice responds with an answer that displeased the variant as their face slightly frowned under the mask.
"So I'm lost without a single clue as to where I am. Great..."
Letting a frustrated sigh he takes another glance at the area in an attempt to understand what little knowledge he has of this new world.
"This place looks like something one of Dr.Stranges mentioned. If I recall correctly, this could theoretically be the Gap Junction? I won't find any use in staying put, let's have a look around."
