A few weeks later
"Sir, It appears as if Messers Stark and Stane have finally decided to confront their differences. Should I prepare a bath for your return?"
"Yeah Bernie, Expect me back in about an hour. If I'm not back, switch on the news." I reply to my Butler as I put on my armor. It looks like Stane finally found the balls to attack Tony. Can't let him get away with that now can we? Dealing with Stane as head of Stark Industries would be a nightmare.
Hopping on my glider, I fly out into the night to confront Stane. Hopefully I can catch him before he causes too much damage.

Damn it, I missed half the fight!
"Very clever Tony." Stane says as Stark releases some flares from his suit, blinding the much larger Iron Monger. Glancing at Starks suit, I can see that it is very damaged. Repulsors seem down, the suit seems crushed around the chest area, and I see scorch marks all around it. Stanes on the other hand was designed for durability and the sheer ability to tank any hit. It had a few scorch marks, and it had some ice on it, but other than that it seemed in good shape.
Right now Tony was hiding from Stane till Pepper activated the main Arc Reactor and causing it to blow. Hopefully I can give her a few added seconds.
"If you thought that was good, try this on for size Chrome dome!" I say as I throw a flash grenade at his face.
"Son of a-" he yells as the flash bang blinds him for a few moments.
Hopping off my glider, I land on his back and have my mask run a few scans of the various machineries in his suit before spotting the same thing Tony does in the movie.
"This looks important!" I say as I reach in and rip out the targeting systems and visuals of the suit.
Grabbing me by my mask, Stane punches me in the chest and flings me across the roof.
Unfortunately… the mask came off.
The chest of Stanes suit lowered and his mask lifted with pieces shifting around to reveal Obadiah Stane.
"Alexander Osborn? That snotty brat that bought the Four Freedoms plaza out from under me and made all those body armors for the military? HA! I shouldn't be surprised." He says as he crushes my mask in his grasp and points his gun at me. "Once I killed Tony I was going to completely destroy Oscorp, but now you had to go and make it personal."
"Yeah, speaking of Tony…" I say as I point behind him.
"What?" he asks as he turns around just to see Stark fly into the air and punch Stane in the face with his ungloved hand.
Charging forward, I jump over the Iron Monger and toss a few sticky bombs to the joints of the suit.
"Hah, What was that supposed to do?" Stane laughs as he grabs Tony and flings him at me, spitting some blood out of his mouth in the process.
"This." I say as I sidestep Tony flying at me.
BOOM
Bombs I had just attached blew up, damaging the already weakened joints and knocking Stane back a few feet, straight over the glass ceiling and right over the Arc Reactor.
"Pepper. Hit the button now." I hear Stark whisper as he gets up from where Stane threw him.
"How Ironic. Both of you are trying to rid the world of weapons… And yet you give it the best weapons of all!" He pants. "And now… I'm gonna kill both of you."
"Not likely." I sigh.
FWOOOM!
And in that moment, The Arc Reactor released a huge wave of energy straight into the sky, electrocuting Stane and his suit and causing Stane to collapse. Falling right into the Arc Reactor, causing an explosion that nearly leveled the building.
Clutching my chest, I collapse next to where Stark was lying down.
"Stark… How about the next time you make a suit of armor… you make sure people can't duplicate it?"
"Shut up…"
And with that… it was over.
/(1 Week Later)
"I am Iron Man."
The line heard around the world.
Stark may be brilliant, but in releasing his name to the public, he brings in a lot more problems for the future, hence why I asked him to not mention me in this news conference. I can almost hear Coulsons exasperated sigh.
After the battle, I put on a collapsible half face mask (Think The Winter Soldiers) and a pair of goggles to keep my identity secret from SHIELD and to protect me from any fumes or fire that I would be dealing with. We climbed down into the Reactor chamber and looked around, making sure Stane was in fact dead and to see what we could salvage from his suit. Stark claimed to have found nothing, but I went away with a few gadgets I could use. After placing a minor bug in his computer system that would allow me easy access, we went our separate ways after he made a jab about my mask.
In the following week, we talked about the news conference and I was able to convince him not to leak my identity to SHIELD or to the Press. When he asked why, I simply stated that I pissed off too many people on a daily basis as Goblin and I had my brother to care for.
I just hope Fury doesn't come in and-
…
You have to be kidding.
"Osborn." Nick Fury greets me.
"Creepy Pirate guy." I reply.
"I'm here to talk to you about the Avengers initiative."
"And I'm here to ask you how the hell did you even get in here?"
"Through the door."
"Haha jackass." I say sarcastically as I pour us a drink. What? I'm rich, I may only be almost 19, but I can still drink if I want. "What are you even talking about, 'Avengers Initiative'? Is it some sort of elite club my dad didn't tell me about?" I say as I try to play the part of spoiled rich kid with absolutely no idea what is going on.
"We know you are the Goblin, Mr. Osborn. And we know your Father was the Green Goblin."
"Please tell me how you came up with that crazy idea?" I say as I reach for a couple Razorbat. I would rather not use them, but I would rather be safe than sorry.
"We've been watching you Mr. Osborn, we see you when you fly in and out of here on that glider, and we saw your face on the security camera at Stark industries when you fought the Iron Monger."
"So you and SHIELD know who I am then, Huh? Who all knows? I'm assuming Coulson and Hill know at the least?"
If he was surprised by me knowing who they were, he didn't show it.
"You would be correct. I am here However, not to dwell on who does or doesn't know your identity. I am here to talk to you about the Avengers Initiative."
Setting the Razorbat down on the counter, I simply smile.
"Alright Fury. Let's talk."
