"Don't get closer." Maria Hill warned Tony. "It can manipute machines."

  Tony immediately stopped flying down. He had learned firsthand the dangers of the unknown after facing the mutants. He reckoned this was yet another mystery creature. "What is that thing?"

  "We call it Ghost Rider. We don't know where it came from and what it wants, but it's definitely a creature from beyond our pne of existence," Maria expined, looking at the distant trail of fire. "We've been tracking it down for years now, but not much has changed."

  "Pne of existence? You don't mean alien?" Tony asked back.

  "I meant ghosts, Mr.Stark. The occult stuff."

  "That's real too?!" Tony excimed in shock. "Are you messing with me?"

  "I don't py around with work. There are cosmic demons, evil tomes, sorcerers, ghosts, and much more out there. I thought Shield gave you access to the database. You didn't look into it?"

  Why didn't I?

  "Didn't have time," Tony replied and looked back down at the road. The fire was now gone. "You know, these days just remind me how blissfully clueless people are."

  Maria chuckled and looked at Tony's face, still held in his arms against his metal chest. "Well, the more you know."

  Tony sighed and resumed his flight towards the fine restaurant he had booked for the night. At that point, he was thinking of just buying it since booking the whole pce was a hassle. Of course, he didn't book the whole pce just because he was rich. Instead, he booked it because of his political career. He finally knew that he needed to do some stuff low-key, well some anyway.

  "There we go." He finally nded at the rooftop restaurant of a building tall enough that nobody from around could pry on them.

  Maria looked around, finding the pce empty. "You booked the whole pce?"

  Tony smirked. "Perks of being Tony Stark's date."

  "Oh really? This is a date?" She asked back with a teasing smile.

  Tony shrugged and got out of his suit before walking to a nice two-person table and sitting down. He was a gentleman, but he reckoned Maria wasn't the type to want a man to slide out the chair for her.

  Soon enough, dinner was served and they chatted away for two hours. It was mostly Tony talking, asking her questions about her life since there wasn't much to be asked about him. Most things about him were an open book.

  "So, what's going on between you and Natasha?"

  Ah, she knows. There goes my chances of a fun night.

  "Frenemies, I guess. Still not over you guys sniffing around my company. I mean, if I had gone all legal on you guys, Shield might've had to close up shop. Not that I'm one to hold a grudge or anything," Tony replied, taking the topic as far away from anything sexual as possible. "You guys are lucky that I'm not a loudmouth."

  "Not a loudmouth? After making an enemy out of the entire bureaucracy?"

  "Hey, that's different. They're corrupt bastards, so they get no love from me," Tony replied, rexing as he just finished his wine. Then he looked at his watch. "What's the next pn? Getting drunk at my pce?"

  Maria smiled with a tease and got up from her seat. She walked around the table and leaned down a little. Before long, her lips nded a soft peck on Tony's cheek. "Sorry, but I'm gonna have to get back and file a report on Ghost Rider."

  There goes the night.

  Well, at least the dinner was nice. Maria wasn't bad company either.

  "Need me to drop you off?"

  "No, I called for a car. See you ter." She waved and left right away, a little rushed even.

  Tony sighed and waved at the staff to bring him some more drinks. So what if the girl was gone, the goal remained the same. So much had happened since morning that he just wanted to get drunk and rex.

  He looked at the watch again and sighed. It was 9 in the evening. Still a few hours away from his usual sleep schedule. He weighed in the options—go home and work on something. Or find another pce to stay. He did have a few in mind.

  "Let's toss a coin."

  Ting!

  He caught the coin in his palm and opened his fist. It was heads, and that meant.

  "May it is."

  He got up right away and walked back towards his Iron Man suit. "Ah, I guess that kid will be more excited than May herself."

  Before long, he jetted into the sky, destination Queens. After many upgrades, he had added the stealth features for such exact situations. Well, not for the exact situations, but simir.

  With as much silence as possible, he arrived in front of the door and gently rang the bell. In all honesty, he'd have preferred if May lived somewhere better. But, he knew her enough to understand her. She was a proud woman and wouldn't accept anything that she hadn't earned.

  Maybe I should increase her sary. She was still employed by him as his charity manager, after all.

  Trrrr!

  Click!

  "Woah!"

  "Hey, kid." Tony looked down at Peter. As always, the boy had a t-shirt on with an Iron Man print on it. Perks of being his charity manager, May received a lot of free merchandise.

  Right then, May came from behind, donning a loose single-piece, flower print dress that went down to her knees. Above it all she wore an apron. "Mr. Stark?"

  Tony waved his hand casually. "Yeah, I was in the neighborhood. Thought of 'discussing' more charity events."

  "Oh." May blushed and fixed her round gsses up her nose. "Come in, I'd love to 'discuss' charity."

  Hah, she gets it. Tony chuckled and walked into the small two-bedroom apartment.

  After closing the door, he got out of the suit. He followed May's fantastic rear into the dining area and took a seat at the table so he could still look at her working in the kitchen.

  But right beside him was Peter, a few books open in front of him. However, what surprised him was the subject. It was calculus and it was not some high school level math. One gce and he knew it was at least college freshmen year level.

  "How old are you, kid?"

  "I'm twelve," Peter decred. "No, I'll be twelve next month."

  "You like calculus?"

  "No, but it's not hard. School is boring," Peter muttered and continued to write in his notebook, solving questions. "Do you like calculus?"

  "I live on it!"

  Seeing Peter so engrossed in his study, Tony fell silent and looked inside the kitchen. As delectable as May was, he couldn't help but be amazed at the random encounter. From that charity kitchen to now, from meeting her to finding Peter, a boy who was definitely gifted with high intelligence.

  "May, has Peter ever gotten tested for his IQ?" He asked randomly.

  "Yeah, I think he did a few years back," May mumbled from the kitchen, wiping her hands on a towel. "It was high, something like two-thirty? Yeah, that sounds about right. They said he is gifted, but Peter... he turned down all those schorships. Didn't want to be away from me, you know?"

  Tony silently looked at the small kid beside him. Just a little bit, but he saw his own shadow in Peter. He remembered being forced to attend a boarding school at the age of 7. It was hell, as everyone there was older, and understanding people was a struggle. It was completely understandable why living with May was better.

  How many more kids like him are out there?

  "Yeah, it's better this way," he replied and flipped out his phone. He quick-dialed Pepper since an idea had taken root in his head. "How's my CEO doing?"

  "Still sore," Pepper barked from the other side. "I'm at the office, did something happen?"

  "Pep, I want to hold a year-long world talent search examination. Based on IQ and a few regur subjects. Totally free, because who doesn't love free stuff? Top kids get flown to the States with their parents. If the parents are qualified, great—they get jobs. If not, we train them up. Meanwhile, the kids? Stark Foundation School. We nurture them and future-proof them. No guarantees they'll all work for us, but hey, they'll benefit the country in the end." Tony expined his simple idea. "This is one good thing America got going, Pepper. We can cherry-pick talents from across the world and make them ours."

  Pepper became silent for a while. With the company expanding like a Kraken with infinite tentacles, it was getting hard to find exceptional people to fill positions. It was a great idea to foster such talents themselves.

  "Tony, are you suggesting as the company's Executive Chairman or the President?"

  "Chairman, of course. I know immigration is a sensitive topic, so I'm not going to touch that. This one's strictly for Stark Industries, all expenses paid by us," Tony expined and looked at Peter. "And trust me, I know a whole bunch of big-brained geniuses who'd love to hop on this. Reed, Hank... Honestly, it's like a nerd convention waiting to happen."

  No, he wasn't pnning on taking childhood away from kids. He just wanted to provide a fun and accessible environment.

  Pepper agreed right away. "If that's the case, I'll get the pnning department to make a report. I'll send it to you for review."

  "Sure."

  Finally, Tony ended the call. By then, May finished cleaning up the dishes and took a seat at the table. She made small talk with Tony about actual charity events that they could hold.

  "You know, maybe you could do something for veterans," she said thoughtfully. "You were involved in the defense industry before, right? I bet they'd really appreciate the support."

  Tony rubbed his chin and agreed. "How about we throw in some discount vouchers for the bionics, you know, for the disabled vets?"

  "That's a great idea! You can combine it with your upcoming election tour," May excimed excitedly. "I'll start pnning right away."

  "Great."

  Thud!

  Both their heads turned. There was Peter, his face on the table, already fallen asleep.

  "I'll get him tucked in bed." May got up quickly and closed all of Peter's books. Then, she made the sleepy boy wake up and walk into his bedroom. She turned the night mp on, tucked him in bed, and returned to the dining area.

  As she returned, her entire persona shifted. From the confident May, she turned into something of a shy dy. With embarrassment coating her face, she held the elbow of her other arm and stood near Tony's chair.

  "So…" she muttered, "Bedroom?"

  Tony smirked and stood up with urgency. He stepped closer to her and pushed himself against her soft bosom while his arm hugged her waist and pulled her in. He looked into her dreamy eyes. "I thought you'd never ask."

  May turned into a blushing mess. "I… I'm on the pill."

  "Oh." Tony's brows shot up. It appeared that May was prepared for his visit for a while now. "I guess I'll become a regur at this pce then."

  "Heh." She giggled as she felt his hardness against her loins. It always made her excited to know that she made him that aroused. "I won't compin."

  Tony kissed her right then. His tongue tasted the sleek skin of her face and lips as his hands greedily slid down her curves, testing the softness of her bottom, massaging her thoroughly. He felt the urge already burning in his core, lifting one of her thighs to his waist, wanting to get as close as possible to her heated desire.

  May willingly went along, letting his breath tickle her in all the right pces. His heat ignited her own, causing her moaning throat to dry out in thirst. The moment his swollen manhood pushed even harder as her leg went up, she gasped a little, sounding more like a purr in Tony's ear.

  "W-wine?" May asked as she broke away from the kiss, feeling embarrassed for the involuntary sound she made.

  "Maybe ter," Tony answered with his mischievous signature smile as he pushed her toward her bedroom. His kisses never stopped, sometimes leaving faint marks on her neck or a trail of saliva, rolling down to her hidden valley.

  Soon enough, they made it to the bedroom, and Tony quickly locked the door.

  Wasting not a single second, Tony lifted her dress and removed it over her head with one swift move. Even if he was fascinated by her slender figure, he didn't want to keep the beauty waiting. His hands slid under her white panties from behind and gripped her tender ass while he continued to kiss her once again. His tongue wildly swept deep into her mouth, taking in that sweet taste of her.

  May's hands also got busy, unbuttoning his shirt and unbuckling his leather belt with an urgent need. She didn't know how and when she would stop being embarrassed at the start, but she knew she wanted him and powered through the mixed feelings.

  Tony uncsped her bra and removed his own shirt. But he went further and took off his pants and underwear too. His rigid source of heat, already eager to do its magic, stood fully erect, throbbing for attention.

  May still felt a bit surprised at how big he was, catching herself staring for a quick moment. Her face blushed but she continued to follow his lead, bending down to remove her white panties.

  Tony couldn't stop himself from staring at her shapely ass. He found it kind of cute, the urge to squeeze, crush, pinch, or even bite that soft white ass surging within him. The primal need and cute aggression working in sync. As May stood back up, he quickly pulled May back into his arms, kissing her once again with impulsive, hungry passion.

  Her one hand combed through Tony's hair as she too pulled him closer, the other palm stretched around his cock, stroking him gently with her small hand.

  Tony's hand caressed her back, up and down, feeling the silky smooth skin on his palm. His other hand was busy rubbing the entrance of her hot furnace, a bit surprised that she was also sleek down there.

  She really prepared for this?

  Tony's lips kept suckling on her lower lips, his finger kept rubbing along her petals until he felt her nectar lubricating his digits, finally slipping and sliding their way closer and closer to her little lump of sensitive nerves. May's body started to shiver, little whimpers escaping her throat, and her hips started to wiggle and shudder involuntarily.

  Tony suddenly stopped kissing and looked at her mischievously.

  "Got any toys?"

  "T-Toys? What do you mean?"

  "Oh, don't act so naive now, May," Tony tapped on her nose. "You know what I mean."

  May suppressed a moan as his finger invaded her soaking walls. "T-There."

  Tony looked towards the cupboard and smirked. So, he went ahead and kept pushing May towards the bed before finally throwing her down on the soft mattress. She nded with her hair sprinkled around, and her ripe breasts jiggled.

  "Just a sec."

  Tony opened the cupboard and took out a box. Inside, he not only found a vibrator, but also anal beads, nipple clips, and handcuffs. "Oh my, you're an exciting one. I guess, reading those books did a number on you."

  May tried not to look at him, covering her face with both hands. "Tony… I…"

  "Shhh… Don't worry. It's our little secret," He said as he pulled out the cuffs, dangling them on his thumb. He wanted to slowly unravel the mystery that was May, and explore her body thoroughly. The more willing she was to experiment, the more it excited him.

  He returned to bed and swiftly flipped her around.

  "Ah.." May yelped.

  Tony handcuffed her wrists behind her and then started kissing her back, sliding his cock between her thighs. The squishy sensation of her thighs was delectable, second only to her tight core.

  The way she wiggled her thighs tight around him almost made him want to fuck her that way. But he didn't want to end it too soon, and teased her for a while.

  Both his hands dove under her body, grabbing each breast and kneading, as he kept sliding his girthy cock between her thighs. Her wet pussy lips glided along his length, sthering his cock with her juices. The slippery sensation caused a shiver to crawl up his spine, prickling his scalp.

  "Oohh.. Tony…" May moaned, losing herself to his methodical teasing. Her hands couldn't move, cuffed together and pressed between them. "Please… I can't take it…"

  "Take what?" Tony growled in her ear, naughty thoughts already running through his mind.

  "Th–this… Ohhhh… Please. Just…"

  "Just what?" Tony's hips kept rocking, pressing May under him. He could feel his cock head stroking her clitoris over and over, flicking her kernel of love like a light switch.

  "Just do it.. Do it… Fuck me… Oh!" May cried out, feeling Tony's finger pinching and tugging on her hardened nipples.

  "All you had to do was ask, May" Tony chuckled a bit and pulled out from between her thighs. He then pulled her back by the shoulders, careful not to twist her wrists and elbows.

  While the handcuffs were still on, May's ass went up, but her back was arched and her hands couldn't find support on the bed. She felt utterly helpless in that position, a prisoner of lustful desire, biting her lips in anxious anticipation. But even with all that mixed emotions, her pussy still throbbed, drooling sticky wet. All she wanted now was something to release her, to push her over the edge.

  "Ahhh…" She couldn't suppress her cry as Tony grabbed both ass cheeks, spreading her a bit wider. Her pussy exposed to the cold air throbbed uncontrolbly. Even if she wouldn't admit it, the way he took charge of her body aroused her more and more.

  "We haven't tried this one yet," Tony said.

  May's eyes widened as she heard a click and a buzz. She knew what that was, her small thumb-size vibrator turning on, a very intimate and memorable sound. "Tony… Don—Ooohh!"

  Tony dangled the thumb-sized toy on its wire, letting it slide between her jutting asscheeks, tickling her star-shaped hole, and slide down her wet gaping lower lips, slowly but surely reaching her clit. As it finally stimuted her clit, her petals contracted, gapping open and clenching, throbbing uncontrolbly. Drips of her nectar gleamed and rolled down her shivering thighs.

  He changed the setting, a mild buzz at first, slowly getting stronger and stronger. He pressed the toy onto her flesh, letting the tremors fully crawl all over her pelvic bones.

  "Ahh… Tony… Please… please.. Oh GOD!" May cried out in blissful agony into the soft pillow. The shame of being toyed with and watched, the pleasure of how good it felt being made to climax by someone else, the helplessness of not being able to move her hands.

  She finally found what she was seeking, forcibly pushed to that bliss.

  Her climax came out, wetting his hands and the toy thoroughly. Her face buried, moaning uncontrolbly into the pillow with a scream of delight.

  "That's it…" Tony also couldn't hold back anymore, seeing her wiggle that way. He pced the toy aside and his cockhead right between her flushed petals, letting it slowly sink into her hot, slobbering sheath.

  "Ahh! Yess…" May moaned in reckless abandon, feeling his cock stretching her wider and wider from behind, eventually rocking his body and pushing her upper body deeper into the pillow.

  Tony went hard with his thrusts, observing the ripples on her mature ass. She was clearly not in her prime as he saw some wrinkles on her flesh. But it only made it more exciting, bouncing and jiggling in all the right pces. Doing her was different from doing women like Natasha. But May was equally as savory.

  Every part of her body was soft and squishy, like fucking a hot juicy, milk Jell-O. His hands relished every bit of her pale flesh as his cock plowed into her mature loins. He loved the way her body willingly pushed her ass against his thrusts, accepting every inch of him.

  Tony had the urge to go deeper, faster; he needed more, wanted more. An idea suddenly hit him—to use her own weight to go deep.

  So, he bent his knees wide and sat up on them before pulling her up by the shoulders again. He let May shift back, almost squat above his cock as he positioned her. He drew her body to sit back on his cock, earning another melodious maon out of her.

  Her breasts jiggled as he made her bounce on his p, thrusting in and out of her with every jolt of his thighs.

  With both hands still cuffed behind her, May had no other choice but to jump with the rhythm and widen her knees to keep steady. Her own weight made her fall deeper and deeper onto his striking shaft.

  It felt thrilling, and thoroughly bewildering to her. As if her body moved on its own, rushing to find that fiery, cataclysmic response. The way Tony's hands caressed up and down her sweaty waist tangled her to the core, knocking hard on her heavenly entrance. She fucked herself silly on his cock, bouncing up and down with greed.

  But before she could reach that climax herself, Tony moved and grabbed the still buzzing little, wet toy.

  Reaching around her waist, and down to her flushed little, fleshy clit; he pced the buzzing toy there, stimuting her with the highest setting.

  "Ahhhhh Fuck! Oh God! Tony!" May cried out in utter ecstasy. Her thighs instinctively clenched together, keeping his hand and toy stuck between them.

  "Gk! Keep going…. May!" Tony could feel the tight contraction. The stimution overwhelmed her insides, compressed tightly around his cock. His other hand kept guiding her waist, forcing her to keep moving as her body knotted up.

  Tony felt her insides gripping his cock tightly, the tremors from the toy also stimuting him as the tip touched his flesh too. Her previous release already dripped down in a thick, frothy mess, staining her sheets.

  They were both on the edge, but they couldn't stop. She moaned while he grunted, both moving in sweaty, sticky abandon. Both struggled hard to reach that blinding white orgasm as their muscles contracted, stimuted by the constant buzzing on their loins.

  But finally, he pressed the rattling toy harder between her petals, almost going in with his cock. He thrust up deeper and drilled her into insanity.

  "I'm coming," he barked.

  "Yesss! Inside, baby! Aaaah! Fill me up!"

  Tony let go of the toy, pulling May down on his p by her shoulders to dive in deep. He smmed his face on her neck and nded a biting kiss, leaving a hickey. His cock spilled out at the same time, spraying deep into her womb with thick white batter.

  Seized by a rush of sensation so intense, May went over the edge from the heat of his spill. Ripples of ecstasy flooded through her again, and an uninhibited cry of satisfaction came out like a squirting fountain.

  The messy sounds of spurts and squelches continued for a moment, as Tony rode out his orgasm with a few more unbridled thrusts. Filling her up good without any care. Letting their messy fluids come out with every push and pull.

  Finally, they both stopped moving, gulping, and taking in deep breaths to stop their panting. Tony helped her up off his p, ying her down properly on the bed, and removed the handcuffs.

  "I-I hope Peh-Peter didn't hear anything," May mumbled between her pants.

  Tony chuckled and helped her stand up, leading her to the attached bathroom. "Don't worry, my suit's guarding outside. It'd have alerted me if Peter was up."

  "Ah, convenient," May mumbled and stepped under the hot shower with Tony. She didn't mind his exploring hands at all and did the same to him. In the name of bathing, it was like a competition to appreciate each other's bodies.

  But, both of them were spent, so they didn't take it too far. As soon as they were done bathing and wiping, they jumped into the bed and cuddled together. May hugged his body, her head on his arm.

  "What are you thinking?" She noticed his gaze at the ceiling.

  Tony chuckled. "About what I'm gonna do to you in the morning. We still have a few more toys to test out."

  "Heh, good thing I'm not wearing anything."

  Tony ughed at that and held her tighter against himself. "Who'd have thought behind that homely 'Aunt May' look is a hungry fox."

  "Well, I had no choice. Before I could even think about dating again, Peter entered my life," she replied, sounding tired. "But I'm gd I met you, Tony. At least you don't judge me."

  "Oh, I judge you plenty, May. Ten out of ten is the verdict."

  "You—Go to sleep."

  He ughed at her cute reaction and closed his eyes. "See you in the morning."

  ####

  What a morning it was.

  It was impossible to hold himself back when she was just right there, in the shower, her fantastic figure rubbing against him. When two hours passed, and when she climaxed thrice, they never realized. They felt like sweating despite the water running over them.

  But they had no regrets. It was a joy to start the day like that. Fresh in mind and body, rexed as if they just got out of a massage session.

  Tony especially enjoyed the creampies—What a joy to be able to do it with no consequences whatsoever.

  Heck, he rarely entered a kitchen. But that day he made breakfast with May right beside him. Well, it was a different thing that he used every excuse to touch her all over. It was fun to tease her.

  May was a woman who had two personalities. One for the bedroom, and one for outside. While she tried to maintain that outside personality, he kept poking her to return to the bedroom one. She didn't mind though since it was all fun and games.

  Soon enough, Tony had his breakfast with Peter. He loved May's mischievous feet finding their way between his legs under the table. Honestly, he wanted to spend the day at her pce and do her all over the apartment once Peter left.

  Sadly, he had to leave since he only had a few limited days to research the Tesseract.

  "Mr. Stark, I wanna show you something—I'm working on this science fair project!" Peter blurted out, grabbing his school bag as Tony started suiting up in his metal armor. "Uh, when... when will you be back?"

  Tony looked at May with a smirk. "Tonight, maybe? That is as long as May doesn't mind."

  May gred at Tony for pying around in front of Peter. But she wasn't that good at hiding her leer. "Not at all, Mr. Stark. You're always welcome… whenever you like."

  "I'll remember that."

  "Yessss!" Peter cheered and ran away through the door to catch his school bus.

  With that, Tony also waved back at May and left the house stealthily. Through the terrace, he jetted off back to Manhattan. As pnned, he needed to gather some tools before returning to the SHIELD base.

  ####

  Tony busied himself with research at the SHIELD facility for the coming days. Of course, he also made trips to various political interviews and some nights at May's pce. But most of the days were spent researching the Tesseract.

  Half of the b turned into his personal space by the third day. Dozens of screens, and instruments made readings on the Tesseract. After studying the old records from WW2 that were obtained from Germany, it was clear that the thing could be used to charge energy weapons.

  At that point, the possibility of creating a much stronger Arc Reactor seemed real. The st time he had a limited energy source was when he made 'Badassium' based reactor. This time, using the Tesseract, he believed the possibility was endless.

  Sadly, that was where the problem y. The Tesseract seemingly held infinite energy, so it was hard to know how it would react once being used. The German records were incomplete.

  "Stark, I can't authorize this. You're talking about a bck hole—I don't care if the odds are one in a trillion, I'm not signing off on it. This is Manhattan, for god's sake." Fury's tone was final, shutting down Tony's request for the experiment.

  Tony sighed, gncing back at the sleek machines lined up for the test. "Look, are you sure about this? Because the second I take that office, I'm just gonna authorize myself anyway. By deying me, you're just annoying the future President."

  "Now that's pin bckmailing."

  "Look, the odds are so tiny they might as well be zero. Honestly, I probably shouldn't have mentioned it—my bad," Tony replied, not willing to step down. He only had one day left with the Tesseract anyway. "But hey, here's a thought: let me handle this, and I owe you one. Anything. You name it."

  "Anything?" Fury widened the only eye he had.

  Tony felt the hair on the back of his neck stand on end. What the hell was Fury going to ask? "Sure, as long as it's not spying, romance, or using my Presidential powers for something wrong."

  Fury smiled and raised his hand. "You got yourself a deal."

  Did I sell my soul to the devil? It does feel like that.

  Tony still shook his hand. "Empty the building. I can wait an hour at max."

  "It's already empty, Stark."

  "Tsk." Tony narrowed his eyes, already piecing it together. The one-eyed bastard pnned it from the start. "I'm sshing your paycheck. Just wait."

  "Enjoy." Fury chuckled and left with victory in his hands.

  In the end, Tony shrugged and continued with the experiment. It was mostly identical to how he did it back in the California mansion. It was just the scale that had gotten bigger. With more professional tools, and a few Iron Guardians there to help him, he grabbed the crank and prepared to control the output of the Tesseract.

  "Ready?" he asked, as Jarvis synchronized five Iron Guardians around him. "And remember, if the output goes above five, shut it down."

  Zzzzzz~

  Soon after, a loud hum started to resonate all around. It was so deep that the vibrations started shaking the very walls around them. It was extremely dangerous as the entire building could fall. But, this was SHIELD's base.

  "Keep going!" Tony shouted and aimed the light beam generated towards the reactor base. He was sweating, the heat only rising with each second. The energy being released from the Tesseract started to melt the walls around them as the paint came off like a gooey liquid. "Fuck! Keep going!"

  The Iron Guardians moved and aided Tony. In fact, Tony was already in his suit as it held temperature-controlling capabilities. Without those, he would have been toast.

  "Just a little!"

  Shhh~

  "Sir, the output has reached four."

  "Just a little!" Tony struck the Reactor Base at st and let it absorb the nigh-infinite energy of the Tesseract. "Get ready to cut it!"

  Tony was greedy, however. Why make just one reactor when you can make two? As soon as he noticed the reactor base had reached the tipping point, he moved the energy beam to nd it on other reactor bases. They weren't completely simir to the existing ones. In the end, they were his attempts to make it better.

  "Out at four point five."

  "Five more seconds!" Tony shouted. The vibrations had started to chip concrete from around the walls and the ceiling by then. He feared the building might colpse at that point. "Three… Two… One! Cut it!"

  Woosh!

  Jarvis controlled the Iron Guardians and immediately contained the diminishing energy beam from the Tesseract. It took a lot of time for all the instruments to cool down, though the Tesseract's energy had stopped oozing out.

  It made Tony envious. He wanted to know what the cube was made of. What if he could make an Iron Man suit from it? Sadly, it was impossible to study the composition. He didn't want to either since whatever was inside it held enough power to destroy the entire pnet.

  "Jarvis, run the scans." Tony quickly walked closer to the three new Arc Reactors he had created. Their base was still 'Badassium' but there were some mechanical tweaks.

  "Sir, based on my preliminary analysis, the second sample appears to be the most refined of the lot."

  "This one?" Tony peered at the new Arc Reactor. It had a hint of green tint to its mostly blue shine. It hummed in itself, as if unstable. But Jarvis decred it was the most stable one. "What about the other ones?"

  "They are also stable, but less efficient. It will require more analysis, Sir."

  Tony rubbed his chin in silence. He weighed between just jamming one of them into his chest or waiting for a more detailed analysis. The st time it had worked.

  It might cook my heart.

  In the end, he scooped the three Arc Reactors and disassembled the entire mechanism. He made sure nobody could copy his experiment and prepared to leave.

  "Jarvis, fire up the computers. I'm heading home."

  White House,

  There were a lot of sad faces in politics recently. Most of them were crowded in the same area often. Sometimes at the Capitol, at times in some gatherings, and on some occasions, White House itself.

  It was one of those days. Right inside the Oval Office, on the couches sat a few powerful faces that had never looked that helpless in history. Be it a national camity or a terrorist attack, nothing scared them more than one tech bro that had grown too big.

  In front of the President sat the Chairman, Vice Chairman of both the parties, as well as the Speaker of the House. There were a few more, mainly the st two Presidents. The men had finished their terms but didn't seem too distant from politics.

  The meeting had gone beyond the allotted time of one hour. At that point, the President shrugged annoyedly. "What can we do? We tried everything in our power. We tried character assassination—but here's the thing: no media outlets' gonna touch him. It's a capitalist system, and they go where the money flows. Unless you're all ready to outbid Tony Stark, nothing will change."

  When it came to money, everyone turned into a chicken.

  "This will set a wrong precedent! What if he unches a party after winning? He's likely going to do it. A lot of Senators and Reps are being reached out by his team." One of the Chairmen voiced.

  The President shrugged. "Look, once again, this is a free country. It's his money, and he has every right to spend it how he sees fit. Now, the fact that people are rallying behind him? That says more about how they feel about us than anything else. Maybe we need to start asking ourselves some hard questions about why that is. And let's be clear—he's made every interest group his enemy. If he still wins, he rightfully deserves it."

  "It will be hell if he's able to form a third party that can actually win."

  "I understand why you're all gathered here today, and I want to be clear: my answer is still no. I won't reenter the race only to risk losing and tarnishing my name." The President stood, moving back to his table, where he picked up a file. "However, regarding the assassination attempts against him... I'm more interested in that. Who did it?"

  When he brought up that topic, nobody looked at him.

  "I know you folks didn't order it. But I know that you all are aware of who did it. Take my advice, make friends with him, and get ready to clean your dirty sheets. If he's going to do what he said he would, nobody is safe."

  Stark Tower,

  A month had gone by ever since Tony made the new Arc Reactor. He had already fitted it in his chest by now, and it was truly a marvel to have. He had to upgrade the Destroyer Armor to handle more energy output.

  Faster, stronger, and deadlier—What a time to be alive, he reckoned.

  Quite literally so as he sat on the couch, reclined back. In his hands was a sheet of paper with a few questions, and between his legs was the fantastic fan of his—Christine Everhart. Her blonde head bobbed rapidly as he bucked into her, one hand pressing her face down just as he unloaded himself right down her choking throat.

  It was a heavenly pce to be. Her tight, gulping throat squeezed him dry, downing every speck of his release. She didn't let a single drop leak out and continued to suckle him until not a trace of his load was left. Just her spit and a glistening clean cock.

  "Ummh…" Christine finally stood up and fell on Tony's p. Her skirt was missing after the thorough fucking he had gifted her. Her bzer was thrown aside, and her shirt buttons were undone with those fantastic, pink-tipped breasts teasing him.

  Tony captured her on his p and continued to read. Having exhaustively relished her, he was fully focused on reading the questions that were going to be asked that night at a public interview.

  "Hm, the questions sound too easy. They'll call you 'bought and paid'." Tony warned her.

  Christine giggled and wiggled her ass to tease his fccid cock squeezed between her warm asscheeks. "Bought and paid? Then they have no idea what else I've been gifted."

  Tony liked her for this exact reason. He knew that she was aware that whatever they had was only ever going to remain a 'friends with benefits' deal. She knew it, and he knew it—He was one horny guy, and she was one greedy woman.

  Besides, he was good-looking. So, getting to bang Tony fucking Stark, and also receiving professional benefits from him was a fun deal to have.

  "Add a few hard-hitter questions," Tony advised her.

  "About the Stark Industries' violent past?"

  "Sure, I'll throw Dad under the bus. Or make a sob story?" Tony muttered. "Add a few about international conflicts too."

  Tony added the st one because of what was in the news that day. Right in front of him was the TV, and the news of a massacre of eight hundred people in a town in Burkina Faso was being run.

  "I can end all this, but now is not the time. But I do have a gift for the country," Tony muttered, feeling his phone vibrate at that very moment. He casually caressed Christine's silky long legs before answering the call from Fury. "So, is the world ending?"

  "Stark, how quickly can you make it to Germany?"

  Tony thought about it for a second. In truth, he was just busy fondling Christine's soft breasts, making her bite her lips and suppress a moan. "Depends on the occasion."

  "The Tesseract has been stolen. Shield's base was attacked by Loki. Satellites have located him in Stuttgart."

  "Loki?" Tony frowned, trying to remember where the hell he heard that name before.

  "Thor's brother, as per the mythology," Fury answered first.

  "How serious is it?"

  "Consider this an Alien invasion, Stark. Loki is the God of Mischief—his track record isn't sunflowers and rainbows. The Tesseract packs enough energy to wipe this pnet off the map, so whatever scheme he's cooking up, it's bound to be a disaster."

  "Alright, send me the coordinates." Tony sighed and ended the call. He looked at the beauty on his p. The pn was to go for round two, but it seemed the 'gods' were against it. "Sorry. Gonna have to postpone the interview."

  He quickly put her aside and got up. Tucking his willy in, he smelled his armpits to make sure he didn't need a shower.

  "Jarvis, fire it up!"

  With that, AC/DC's Back In Bck started bsting throughout the mansion. Tony's new Destroyer Armor Mark II also walked over to him and opened up.

  "What happened?" Christine asked him, rushing to tidy herself.

  Can't leave her with nothing.

  Tony suited up fully and opened the visor. "Three words. It can be breaking news if you're quick enough—Stuttgart, Aliens, Gods."

  "What?!"

  Tony didn't add anything and jetted off right from the massive living room, a rge gss panel on the side was opened up by Jarvis for him.

  Right behind him, five test Iron Guardians Mark III followed.
