Marvel & Wattpad's Avengers

Chapter 4

Deep within the heart of the bustling metropolis, a sprawling urban jungle that went by the name of Kuala Lumphattan, Aqil Muhtadi found himself immersed in a world of relentless innovation. Clad in the resplendent Metal Man armor, a masterpiece of technological prowess in the form of the sleek Mark 7 model, which proudly displayed its triangular arc reactor, he was a modern-day alchemist weaving together the threads of science and engineering.

Aqil's every movement was a choreography of precision and unwavering determination. With a surgeon's finesse, he embarked on the installation of an unprecedented electrical connection. This intricate system was nothing short of his magnum opus, a groundbreaking design aimed at metamorphosing his towering office building into a true marvel of sustainability. It was a vision where the edifice would be capable of operating entirely off the grid, drawing its life force from the sun, the wind, and other natural resources, all while leaving the smallest ecological footprint imaginable.

But in this pivotal moment, Metal Man found himself in an extraordinary predicament. Submerged deep underwater, his metallic exoskeleton, a marvel of modern engineering, was struggling to power up a crucial device. Moments earlier, he had unleashed the potent laser embedded in his armor to slice through a massive log of wood intended for the construction of his visionary building. However, an unforeseen twist of fate had landed him in this aquatic conundrum. As precious oxygen dwindled with each passing second, the indomitable inventor knew he had to act swiftly. With a burst of power, he managed to extricate himself from the water's grip, narrowly avoiding a dire fate, and thus, the Metal Man lived to innovate another day.

The astonishing capabilities of his armored suit made the task appear almost effortless, a testament to Aqil's genius. He was more than just an inventor; he was a visionary whose creations held the potential to reshape the world for the better, one circuit at a time.

As Aqil meticulously adjusted the final connections on his latest invention, his mind buzzed with a symphony of thoughts and calculations. The intricate web of wires and circuits before him was a testament to his tireless dedication to innovation. For a brief moment, he lost himself in the intricacies of his work, the world around him fading into obscurity.

However, the serenity of his work was abruptly shattered by the cheerful chime of a video call, a sound that never failed to bring a smile to his face. It was none other than Izatul Putri, the love of his life, whose image materialized on his visor, her radiant smile illuminating his workspace like the morning sun. "Aqil, don't forget, it's date night tonight," she gently reminded him, her eyes aglow with eager anticipation.

Aqil couldn't help but be captivated by her infectious enthusiasm. With a mischievous glint in his eyes that only he could conjure, he playfully retorted, "Izatul, I think it's high time you experienced the thrill of being a genius, don't you?"

Without further ado, Aqil engaged the thrusters on his state-of-the-art Metal Man armor with a mere thought, launching himself into the boundless sky. Beneath him, the sprawling metropolis of Kuala Lumphattan stretched out like a vibrant tapestry, its bustling streets and towering skyscrapers now mere miniature models. The wind roared in his ears, a thrilling embrace that never failed to exhilarate him.

Izatul, watching Aqil's dramatic ascent with a mixture of amusement and admiration, couldn't contain her laughter. Her voice, transmitted through the video call, bubbled with mirth. "You always know how to make an entrance, Aqil."

Their playful banter, a cherished routine in their relationship, was a comforting reminder of their deep connection. Yet, the conversation soon veered into more serious territory as Aqil broached the subject of the Muhtadi Tower. This visionary project was their brainchild, a daring endeavor aimed at replacing the iconic Telekom Tower in Kuala Lumphattan. It had been born from their shared dreams and ambitions, a testament to their collaborative spirit. However, as with any partnership, tensions had gradually begun to simmer beneath the surface, fueled by the age-old question of who deserved more credit for their grand creation.
