Chapter 30 - Iron Man (Part 2)

In Metropolis, a family of four was living in an apartment. The family consumed of a married couple and two kids.

Right now the father was both scared and anxious. He is a scientist and he works for Grey industries. For him, those last few months were the worst days of his life. Why? Because he was scared of losing his job. He likes working for the company, not that he worked for anyone else. He started working for the company just as he graduated.

His coworkers told him that it was the best job he could hope for. He could do any research as long as he has proof that his research would be valuable and that there was practically no funding limit.

Sure the company was mostly known for making weapons but it wasn't the only thing it made. Plus the company paid its employees very well and had great work benefits. But it wasn't why he loves the company. The reason why he loves the company was for the fact that it was thanks to them that his wife was alive, they cured her of cancer. Yes, they have the cure for cancer...although they didn't make it public.

At first, he had stumbled upon some of the company employees bullshitting at a bar, that the company had some way to cure cancer. The thing is he had just received the news that his wife was a lethal case of cancer, that she would die in a few days.

And since he was drunk, without a second thought he went back to the company, to the highest floor and barge in the boss's office.

When he walked in, he could see that the boss was doing paperwork and looked up as soon as he entered. But before she could say anything he walks in front of her begging the boss to save his wife's life. Had the end she did, Although she said that he could not speak of this and that now he owns the company.

Anyway, right now he was in front of the TV with his wife and kids. Watching the broadcast of the company

You may ask why he was watching the TV? It was because when he had confronted the boss yesterday she told him to watch the broadcast and to let his kid watch it too.

He trusted the boss, so he did.

Back Grey industry HQ

After Scarlett left the stage the people had no other choice but to watch the giant screen.

In the terrorist camp. They were gathering people, getting them in trucks. They had abducted those people from their house. While they were doing the terrorist who was in charge had one of his subordinates run toward informing them that they finish.

But before he could give the order to move out he hears a strange sound, prompting him to look up where he saw a red figure flying down, in a few seconds Marcus landed in a classic Iron-Man superhero landing in front of him.

He then got up while looking around. During those few seconds, the terrorist and anyone who was watching this even from there TV could see the armor in all of its glory.

This armor was a modified version of Mark 7. It has a classic red and gold color.

After a few seconds of contemplating the terrorist took action, they knew that a robot appearing in front of them was definitely her for a fight. So without hesitation, they open fire. Only to discover that it was bulletproof. After emptying their clip they could only stand in shock, while some were trying to reload their gun. But it didn't matter, as Marcus started attacking.

Moving toward the closest terrorist to him, which was their boss, he punches him, sanding him fly toward another. He then turns around, bringing his hands up and pointing it toward one of the terrorists.

The terrorist who was opposite to him knew that he was in trouble. He was in the middle of reloading his gun. He was looking in front of him, he could see the robot hand with a circle in the middle of his hand and it was getting brighter and brighter. Before he could react he was hit by a repulsor blast in the middle of his ċhėst killing him while sanding him fly.

He wasn't the only unlucky one, as in a few seconds he fires his repulsor more than 5 times taking down other terrorists. But just as Marcus turns around to fire is repulsor he was it by an RPG. The blast sends him flying back but in a few skillful movements, he did a flip while activating his repulsor to stabilize himself.

To the shock of the entire group of people, that the explosion did no damage while only dirtying him. Looking in front of him Marcus could see a small group of the terrorists with their gun pointed toward him while there was one in the middle with a rocket launcher on his shoulder.

Being done with them, he scans the surroundings for more enemies. After seeing that everything was clear, he activates his repulsor as he flies away. Now it was time for the real deal. This was a small stop which he did for two reasons. First to save those people and second to alert them that he was coming after them. Marcus wanted them to be ready, for them to fight at their hardest, for him to have a glorious fight.

After a few seconds of flying, he was already on top of their base. Just as he arrived he saw a bright light in the corner of his vision. But it was too late for him to react. Which is why Jarvis took control, creating a force field around him. But sadly it was incomplete so even though the force field reduced the power of the laser he was still hit by the laser beam, sending him spiraling down. Marcus tries to stabilize himself but he could do anything only to prepare himself for the crash.

In a loud "boom" sound Marcus crashes forming a crater around him. After a scan of the armor, to make sure everything was working alright. He got up, he discovered that he was surrounded by a robot squad. All of those robots came from different sources. Some come from Grey industries, from Lex Corp, etc. And most importantly they have all of their weapons pointed at him.
