Stark Expo - Flushing, New York

The Stark Expo Grand Opening is crowded with peoples who is interested to find out more about Stark Industries latest developments and technologies. Arriving at the expo, all of us is guided to the VIP area where is it easier to watch the live performances on stage. Bernard left us alone to meet with the other VIPs as Ned and Peter watch the performances and latest Stark innovations with great interest. Felicia and MJ keep questioning about how I end up with Bernard before they are finally distracted by the latest fun attractions at the Stark Expo.

As the Ironette Dancers came on stage and perform their dance routine, I look up to the sky waiting for Ironman arrival. Tony Stark in his Ironman suit came flying in and did a superhero landing in the middle of the stage causing the crowd to shout in excitement. Machines arms came out of the stage and started taking off Ironman's armor to reveal Tony Stark underneath it.

The song ended with Tony Stark smirking confidently on top of the stage with the Ironette Dancers surrounding him.

Clapping his hands, Tony said "Oh... it is good to be back! Did you miss me?" as the crowds (including Peter and Ned) cheered passionately and clap their hands excitedly. MJ started complain about the Tony Stark's dancers revealing clothing is a insult to female while looking at Peter slightly annoyed. Felicia blushed slightly in embarrassment when she notice that I caught her staring at the girls. I smirk at her as she tried to explain herself.

One of the crowd shouted "Blow something up!".

"Blow something up, already did that... I'm not saying the world is enjoying it's longest period of uninterrupted peace in years because of me! I'm not saying that from the ashes of captivity, never has a Phoenix metaphor been more personified in human history!" Tony Stark said with arrogance while the crowd continued cheering him and agreeing with him.

Tony continued "I am not saying that Uncle Sam can kick back on the lawn chair, sipping on ice tea because I have not come across anyone man enough to go toe to toe with me on my best day!" followed by cheers and started chanting his name.

Peter whispered to Ned's ear "How about the Defenders?"

"Please, it is not about me. It is not you. It is not about us. It is about legacy. It is about what we choose to leave behind for the future generations. So that is why for the next year for the first time since 1974 the best and brightest men and women from the world over will pool their resources, share their collective visions to leave behind a brighter future!. It is not about us. Therefore I am saying, if I am saying anything is welcome back to the Stark Expo" Tony said drawing huge cheer from the crowd.

MJ feeling slightly annoyed said "I don't like him so much. He is arrogant man but at least his expo is educational" as Peter nodded his head in agreement.

"And now from the great beyond, please welcome my father, Howard!" Tony said ending his speech and gestured to the huge screen behind him displaying a video of his father before leaving the stage.

....

Tony greeted all the VIPs and the members of the crowd.

Ned rush towards Tony to get his signature while at the same time dragging Peter along with him.

Felicia is still trying to explain herself to me said "It is a misunderstanding! I was wondering how they are able to fit into their clothes".

"Relax! I understand, Felicia. I have always known that you are bisexual and that you like girls too" I replied while shrugging my shoulders slightly.

"What!!" Felicia shouted in shock and looking slightly terrified at the same time.

"Of course, Felicia. I must be blind if I didn't notice that the woman that I am in love with staring at hot and sexy female. I am surprised you choose me" I said while I squeezing her hand gently.

Felicia held my face with both her hands and kiss me passionately, before pulling back saying "I love you, Harry. I will never leave you. I promise" as one my hand held her waist and the other hand stroke her back slightly gently.

She purred slightly as she shivered in my arms saying "I love you so much" before kissing me on the lips again.

"I love you too" I replied as we were interrupted by a loud cough made by MJ.

"I am glad that you guys love each other and all but we are in public. Your PDA (Public display of affection) is attracting a lot of attention" MJ said with a stern voice gesturing towards the poeple around us. Felicia quickly let go of me and at the same time her face started blushing bright red in embarrassment. The people around us started cheering, whistling and doing cat calls making her face turn redder.

As we quickly walk away from the spot, Felicia held my arm in her arm and whispered to my ear "You are the only one I need. I can't imagine being anyone else except you".

"Good. You better not since I will not let you go easily" I whispered back as I give Felicia's ass a light slap causing her to moan slightly into my ear. Damn she is killing me with all her seduction.

After Peter and Ned came back with Tony's signature, all of us had fun at all of the attractions in the expo until late at night. The night ended uneventful with Bernard sending everyone back with the limousine and Felicia give me a goodbye kiss in front of her apartment building. (Bernard keep sneaking glance at me and keep chuckling to himself which totally annoyed me)

Tony Stark's POV

Stark's own life was not as good as it appeared, the Arc Reactor Palladium core in his chest is poisoning him due to overuse of the Iron Man armor. He has not found a cure yet except for drinking a home-made medicine to help reduce the symptoms. Other than that, United States Armed Forces has been causing a lot of problem as they have been constantly trying to take all of his technology away from him but he has been ignoring them.

Before Stark left the Expo with Happy Hogan, he was then confronted by a beautiful U.S. Marshal who was waiting beside his car. Tony was informed by her to attend a congressional meeting in Washington, D.C. the very next day in order to discuss about his armor and technology.

...

The next day..... (Saturday)

Nightwing Base

I am currently checking on all my current projects while at the same time waiting for Bernard to deliver all the parts necessary for the prismatic accelerator. With the prismatic accelerator I am going to create the new element for the new miniature arc reactor. I am delaying all the projects, so that I replace all the equipment power source with the new miniature arc reactor.

Currently on the computer monitor, Ironman 2 movie event is happening as Tony Stark is attending a congressional meeting in Washington, D.C. As Tony can been seen disrespecting them. Senator Stern demand Tony Stark to turn over the Ironman 'weapon' to the United States Government for military application. Tony adamantly refuse and stated that the government can't have it.

Senator Stern tried to turn Lt. Colonel James Rhodes against Tony but failed since Rhodes sided with Tony. Tony took this opportunity to further embarrass both Hammer and Stern with a collection of footage of Hammer and others countries around the world attempting to recreate the Tony's 'Ironman' technology and how they failed miserably with their test.

"Tony is arrogant but boy, he really knows how to talk" I said to myself chuckling as I watch Tony delivered his famous speech on the computer monitor.

"The point is, you are welcome, I guess..." Tony said arrogantly.

"For what?" Senator Stern replied feeling annoyed.

"Because I am your nuclear deterrent. It is working. We are safe. America is secure. You want my property? You can't have it. But I did you a big favor" Tony answered with increasing confidence as he stood up and face the people in the congressional meeting.

"I have successfully privatized world peace" Tony continued confidently as he showed peace signs on both hands causing commotion in the congressional meeting as everyone in the room to stand up clapping their hands in approval and all started talking at the same time.

"What more do you want? For now! I tried to play ball with these ass clowns" Tony said as he gestured towards Senator Stern and Justin Hammer.

"Fuck you, Mr Stark. fuck you, buddy. We are adjourned. We are adjourned for today" Senator Stern angrily replied. I laughed as I watched how Senator Stern can't seem to control his anger.

"Okay" Tony answered as he puts on his sunglasses in an annoying way and started cockily blowing kisses to Senator Stern.

Facing the cameraman, Tony with great confidence and swagger said "My bond is with the people. And I will serve this great nation at the pleasure of myself. If there's one thing I have proven it's that you can count on me to pleasure myself".

Oracle feeling annoyed said "He is a irritating man!"

"Yes, he is. but he is also very interesting man" I replied back laughing at Senator Stern reaction to Tony's antics.
