I Am Iron-Man

Chapter 7

Tony's POV

So, that very long week turned into a very long month. But I might as well start from the day after.

Jessica and I were waiting in the main lobby for her friend, Ethan, to arrive.

"So, when's your friend supposed to get here? We've been waiting here for thirty minutes"

"He'll be here soon. He must be having a difficult time getting here"

"I don't understand why we couldn't just pick him up ourselves"

"Because he's a Tony Stark fanatic. We would've never been able to leave his house if we went there"

"Fine, I guess that's understandable. While we're waiting, can I at least know what his powers are?"

Before Jessica can respond, a portal appeared in the middle of the lobby. A young boy, about the same age as Jessica, stepped out. Honestly, this isn't the weirdest thing that has happened in this tower.

"Hi, Jessica. Sorry I'm late. Teleporting from downtown Queens is not easy". Then, Ethan noticed that I was there as well, and went crazy fanatical. "Oh, my gosh. Tony Stark. The Tony Stark? Oh, my gosh. Jessica didn't tell me you were here. I mean I knew I was going to train you, but I didn't think I was going to meet as soon as I came here"

"Um, Hello, Ethan. Jessica told me a lot about you"

"Really?! She told you? About me?"

"Yes, and slow down, kid. Any friend of Jessica is a friend of mine"

"Really? Friends with Tony Stark? I can die happy now"

"I wasn't kidding when I told you he was a Tony Stark fanatic", Jessica whispered in my ear. "Anyways, I think it's time for training, don't you think? I have to go meet with Clint. I'll see at dinner, Tony. Have fun". She left the lobby to go into the elevator.

"Well, I guess it's just you and me, Ethan. I'll show to the elevator that will lead us into the training room"

"No need. Mr. Stark. Why take an elevator when you have the ability to teleport?". He opened another portal, and pulled me through. When we stepped out, he were in one of the training rooms.

"I'm never going to get use that"

"Well, then you better hope you don't the ability to teleport"

"If I may ask, what powers do you have? Jessica told me you got your powers from the space and soul stones"

"Well, along with teleportation using portals. The ability to transport in and out of the soul world, ability to breath in space, ability to fly, ability to control a person's body, ability to levitate an object or person, super strength, super healing. I can also teleport someone, who still alive in the real world, into the soul world"

"Wow, that's a lot of powers from two of the infinity stones"

He scoffed. "Please, Mr. Stark. They're nothing compared to you. You have the powers of all the infinity stones"

"Don't forget Extremis", I added in.

"Exactly, the number of powers you could have are unlimited. Well, that's why I'm here in the first place, anyways. To help you train and test your abilities"

"Yeah, I need all the help I can get"

"What can you do so far? It'll give me a basic idea of how far you gotten"

"So far, I have the ability to communicate with all of the infinity stones"

"That's it? Wow, we have a long way to go. You don't even know half of what you can do. Come on, Mr. Stark. The sooner we get started, the better"

We both stood in the middle of the room. Ethan's hands started to spark with a blue and orange color. They reminded of Maximoff's powers. No, Ethan's not like her. I may have just met Ethan, but I trust Jessica's choice in friends. She wouldn't have left me alone if she didn't trust him.

"Mr. Stark, relax. Jessica told me about your experiences with my kind of powers. I promise you I won't do anything harmful to you. I'm just demonstrating how the infinity stones powers would look like when in use. What I found what that your eyes would show the colors of your powers' color stream"

As I took in that information, I did notice that Ethan's eyes had specks of blue and orange in them. The same colors as his powers' waves. I guess that could my powers waves could be red, green, blue, purple, orange, and yellow.

"Ok, Mr. Stark. Your turn. Just relax and concentrate"

I closed my eyes and started to concentrate on the infinity stone powers inside of me. I felt something surging through my bloodstream until I felt the powers vibrating against my fingertips. I opened my eyes to see my hands being encased with a dark blue stream with red, green, blue, purple, orange, and yellow specks.

"Incredible. See, already a natural"

Suddenly, I started to hover into the air.

"Woah". I know I should be used to flying because of the Iron-Man suit, but it's weird flying without it.

"Don't panic, Mr. Stark. It happens all the time. It just takes a little practice". I started to balance out until I easily floating into the air. "Wow, Mr. Stark. It took me four months to get use to flying  "

"I guess that's what happened when you're Iron-Man", I said as I gently landed on the floor.

"Well, Mr. Stark. I admit you're a quick learner, but we're still not even half-way through your powers"

"Well, what are we waiting? We don't have all day to waste"
