Stark Infinity

The room was silent, dimly lit save for the soft glow from the tablet in Nick Fury's hands.

Tony Stark sat across the table, fingers tapping lightly on the metal surface. The air was thick with urgency, and the quiet tension between them made the secure room feel even smaller.

Tony broke the silence. "Alright, Fury, here's what I know. It's not just Hydra. It's The Hand, The Ten Rings, and a few others—all aligning under some unknown directive. The crazy part is they're not just coordinating; they're pooling resources, artifacts, and power sources. These aren't small-time players, and they're definitely not here to make friends."

Fury nodded, his expression unreadable. "I expected them to join forces eventually, but this sounds…different."

Tony leaned forward. "Exactly. And as far as I can tell, this is bigger than world domination. I don't have the full picture yet, but the presence of artifacts like the Space Stone makes me think they're not just looking to take control. They're trying to open something—maybe a doorway, maybe a connection to some…other power." He hesitated. "Cosmic-level stuff, Fury."

Fury's gaze sharpened. "So you think they're summoning something? Someone?"

"I'm saying it's possible. Someone with powers and tech we don't even understand yet. And if they pull it off… let's just say it won't just be New York that's in trouble. We could be looking at a global crisis."

Fury's lips tightened as he considered the implications. "Then we need to be prepared. We can't underestimate what's forming here."

Tony stood up, picking up his suit's helmet. "And we need to act fast. If they're assembling, we can't sit back and wait for the pieces to fall into place."

As Tony left the S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters and returned to his lab, he reviewed data that J.A.R.V.I.S. had prepared for him. A new notification popped up on his console, alerting him to a recent occurrence: Thor Odinson had regained his powers.

"J.A.R.V.I.S., where is he now?"

"Tracking indicates he is in New Mexico, following a confrontation," J.A.R.V.I.S. replied. "He appears to have fully regained control over his powers and his weapon."

Tony stared at the data, a sinking suspicion forming in his mind. "If Thor's here, that means Loki might be in the vicinity as well. If Loki's involved, he might be the one orchestrating this union of forces."

Tony's hand tightened around the edge of the console.

He didn't have time to wait, not with potential gods and cosmic villains lurking in the shadows.

He looked back at the file labeled Phase Two: Super Evolution Serum and hesitated only for a moment.

"J.A.R.V.I.S., begin Phase Two testing in preparation for the second evolution. I want all my physical and mental thresholds monitored," Tony commanded.

"Understood, sir," J.A.R.V.I.S. replied.

Tony had structured his serum into different phases. Each one was to push his genetic makeup further and further beyond it limits.

He didn't want any weaknesses.

'Phase 2 will majorly focus on survivability and other physical abilities.'

'Phase 3 will...'

Meanwhile, back at S.H.I.E.L.D. Headquarters…

Fury sat alone, staring at the silent comms screen. He was contemplating his next move, weighing his options carefully.

He would gather the necessary intel before making any calls. He wanted to put together a team to address the growing threat, but he wouldn't rush into anything without the right preparations.

"Get me Steve Rogers, Natasha Romanoff, and any agents we can spare," he said to his assistant. "We need to assemble a team. Stark might be onto something, and if these factions are summoning something from the beyond, we're going to need every weapon we've got."

With his orders given, Fury turned his eyes back to the screen, his mind already working through contingency plans.

He would hold off on contacting Captain Marvel for now. It was better to have a clearer picture before bringing in one of their strongest assets.

The stakes were rising, and as darkness loomed closer, Fury knew they were in for one of the biggest challenges yet. It was time to be proactive and gather all the strength they could muster.
