Shinobi Gamer in Marvel

Chapter 62: Successor



On television, on a Russian news channel with Russian Ivan was looking at the news.

"My bond is with the people. And I will serve this great nation at the pleasure of myself. If there's one thing I've proven it's that you can count on me to pleasure myself."

Ivan heard Tony say, while he was still working on his suit. It's not a full suit, but it does now look like he has whips made of lightning.

-Malibu, California-

"Wake up, Daddy's home."

Tony said as he arrived back home turning on all his systems.

"Welcome home, sir. Congratulations on the opening ceremonies. They were such a success, as was your Senate hearing, thanks to Mr. Uzumaki. And may I say how refreshing it is to finally see you in a video with your clothing on, sir."

Jarvis responds sarcastically while one of the robots is trying to make a smoothie, without a blender lid.

"You!"

Tony shouts as the robot panics knocking over the blender. 

"I swear to God I'll dismantle you. I'll soak your motherboard. I'll turn you into a wine rack."

The robot in response looks down and makes a sad noise.

"How many ounce a day of this gobbledegook am I supposed to drink?"

"We are up to 80 ounces a day to counteract the symptoms, sir."

Jarvis answers Tony as he downs a green liquid.

"Check palladium levels."

"Blood toxicity, 24%. It appears that the continued use of the Iron Man suit is accelerating your condition. Another core has been depleted."

Jarvis say as Tony as takes an Arc Reactor out of his chest. The core pops out, rusted and slightly smoking.

"God, they're running out quick!"

Tony inputs a new core. It's silver, giving a judgment of just how badly damaged the other one was and Replaces the Arc Reactor in his chest.

"Sir, the 1974 Stark Expo model scan is complete."

Jarvis said as Tony lifted the blue hologram projection away from the model.

"How many buildings are there?"

"Am I to include the Belgium waffle stands, sir?"

"That was rhetorical. Just show me."

Tony answers back with a jab, clicking his fingers and the model begins to spin and lifts upright.

"What does that look like to you Jarvis? Not unlike an atom. In which case the nucleus would be here. Highlight the Unisphere. Lose the footpaths. Get rid of them."

"What is it you're trying to achieve, sir?"

"I'm discovering… Correction. I'm rediscovering a new element, I believe. Lose the landscaping, the shrubbery, the trees. "

Tony started flicking things away said items.

"Parking lots, exits, entrances. Structure the protons and the neutrons using the pavilions as a framework. Dad."

Now finished disposing of the unneeded items the model resembles a nucleus and Tony expands it.

"Dead for almost 20 years, and still taking me to school."

Tony snaps down so the model fits in his hand.

"Sir, I have run simulations on the proposed element. It should serve as a viable replacement for the palladium core."

"Thanks, Dad."

Tony said but was caught off by Jarvis.

"Unfortunately, it is impossible to synthesise."

Tony only took what Jarvis says as a challenge.

"Get ready for a major remodel, fellas. 

"We're back in hardware mode. Jarvis sent a message to Leon, I'm going to need his help again."

Tony gets a bunch of construction tools and before he starts to destroy his Malibu mansion, Jarvis gives him a warning.

"Miss Potts is approaching. I recommend that you inform her…"

"Mute."

Tony says stocking his shirt back down, the computers switch to screen saver, as Pepper inputs a code and opens the door.

"Is this a joke? What were you both thinking?"

Pepper says as Leon walks in through a Timedoor.

"Sorry did I come at a bad time? Am I interrupting something?"

"What?"

Tony answers but is interrupted by Pepper

"What are you thinking?"

"Hey, I'm thinking I'm busy. And you're angry about something. Do you have the sniffles? I don't want to get sick."

Tony said trying to change the subject

"Did you just donate…"

"Keep your business."

Tony said interrupting Pepper as they all started walking around the room.

" …our entire modern art collection to the…"

"Boy Scouts of America!"

Leon said with a smirk completing Pepper's sentence

"…Boy Scouts of America?"

Asked Pepper

"Yes. It is a worthwhile organization. And I also thought it was funny. Tony didn't physically check the crates but, basically, yes. And it's not "your" collection, it's Tony's collection. No offense, Pepper."

Leon said.

" I swear to God, you're both impossible! No, you know what? I think I'm actually entitled to say "my" collection considering the time that I put in, over 10 years, curating that."

Pepper shouted at both the scoundrels and frowned.

"It was a tax write-off. I needed that."

Tony said.

"You know, there's only about 8,011 things that I really need to talk to you about."

Pepper said back.

Tony walks to another robot and says.

"Dummy. Hey, stop spacing out. The Bridgeport's already machining that part."

"The Expo is a gigantic waste of time."

Pepper said

"I need you to wear a surgical mask until you're feeling better. Is that okay?"

Asked Tony

"That's rude."

She frowns again

"Pepper, there's nothing more important to this geek than the Expo. It's his primary point of concern. I don't know why you're…"

Leon said but was stopped by Pepper.

"The Expo is Tony's ego gone crazy." 

Tony then ignores her and picks up a painting Of Iron Man and says

"Wow. Look at that. That's modern art. That's going up."

"You've got to be kidding."

Pepper shouts in resentment.

"I'm gonna put this up right now. This is vital."

Tony said

"Stark Industry is in complete disarray. You understand that?"

Pepper said with a frown on her face

"No. His stocks have never been higher, since I own half the company and our companies have been collaborating with each other."

Leon said.

"Yes, from a managerial standpoint."

Pepper said

"You are… Well, if it's messy then let's double back."

Tony said as he jumped back in the conversation.

"Let me give you an example."

Pepper said

"Let's move on to another subject."

Tony said as he took his painting towards the place where Barnett Newman was hanging.

"No, no, no, no. You are not taking down the Barnett Newman and hanging that up." Pepper said

"I'm not taking it down. I'm just replacing it with this."

Tony said as Leon jumped and stood up on a desk about to take down the Barnett Newman to put the Iron Man picture up.

"Let's see what we can get going on here."

Tony said while Leon was hanging the painting.

"Okay, fine. My point is, we have already awarded contracts to the wind farm people."

Pepper stated making Leon laugh.

"Yeah. Don't say "wind farm." I'm already feeling gassy."

Tony said.

"And to the plastic plantation tree, which was Leon's idea by the way. Those people are on payroll…"

"Technically everything was my idea, Leon was just throwing words together to see if we can invent something new."

Tony said interrupting Pepper.

"…and you won't make a decision."

Pepper completed what she wanted to say and then started at Tony

"I don't care about the liberal agenda anymore. It's boring. Boring. I'm giving you a boring alert."

Tony said as Leon jumped off the desk.

"You do it."

"I do what?"

Asked Pepper.

"Excellent idea. I just figured this out. You run the company."

Tony said.

"Yeah, I'm trying to run the company."

Pepper said as a matter of fact

"Pepper, he needs you to run the company. He'll stop trying to do it and let you do it."

Leon said.

"You will not give me the information…"

Pepper said.

"I'm not asking you to try…"

Tony interrupted.

"…in order to…"

Pepper added.

"I'm asking you to physically do it. I need you to do it."

Tony said.

"I am trying to do it."

Pepper replied.

"Pepper, you're not listening to me!"

Tony said.

"No, you are not listening to me!"

Pepper stated.

"Pepper! His trying to make you CEO. Why won't you let him finish explaining?"

Leon shouted at her.

"Have you two been drinking?"

Pepper asked not believing his ridiculous talk.

"Chlorophyll. I hereby irrevocably appoint you chairman and CEO of Stark Industries effective immediately. Yeah, done deal. Okay? I've actually given this a fair amount of thought, believe it or not."

Tony said as Leon brought them a tray with a bottle and glasses on it.

"Doing a bit of headhunting, so to speak, trying to figure out who a worthy successor would be. And then I realized it's you. It's always been you."

Tony said as Leon poured champagne, while Pepper sat down, shocked and confused.

"Tony thought there'd be a legal issue, but after I was done doing my research his actually capable of appointing his successor. His successor is you, Pepper."

Leon finished explaining handing her a glass. She doesn't take it. So Tony adds.

"Congratulations? Take it, just take it."

"I don't know what to think."

Pepper finally said.

"Don't think, drink. There you go."

Tony says as they tap glasses and drink.
