The Power of The Sun

After Fury left, I collapse on the couch and nurse my drink. Thanks to the Oz formula, I am (sadly) immune to alcohol, so I can't get drunk.

Fury's proposal was simple, If SHIELD needed me, I was to be on call to help. I wasn't going to help for the little stuff like a sting operation against a suspected terrorist, but for things like Loki or Ultron, I was going to be in their call list. He did claim that I was good, but I needed training, so he was going to send in someone to act as my bodyguard to teach me how to fight properly, not just a basic punch and kick like I have been doing. Lastly I was asked by Fury to make some Adamantine armor for SHIELD agents.

I agreed, but only to make the mesh weave stuff that I gave Spider-Man, not the full on Achilles Armor.

In exchange for me joining the Avengers, I did have a few requests. No sharing my identity with anyone except a few select people (Coulson, Hill, Black Widow, and Fury himself). I wasn't sure if Hydra was in SHIELD or not, and I was not about to take chances. Second, if they come across any problems regarding space travelers, they are to contact me for help immediately. An entire town was destroyed in Thor, and I have no clue how many people died. If I can stop it, I will. Also there is the added bonus of meeting Thor and studying Mjolnir. Finally, I was allowed free reign of what I do outside of missions with SHIELD. If someone like Electro or Venom attack New York, then I will step in and stop it. They will not be able to stop me for any reasons.

Downing the rest of my glass, I realize that things aren't really deviating from the original timeline, which is a good thing as I need to be able to predict what will happen if I am going to stop Thanos from getting the gems and for me to actually survive this crazy world.

Getting up and heading towards my workshop, I grab an EMP Emmiter that I had just finished after the fight with Monger (Go figure.) and activated it, completely wiping out any bugs that Fury may have placed before I got there. Luckily my tech is EMP proof so I won't have to worry about shorting it out. Putting it back up, I get to working on a project that I've been tinkering with the last few days. I was able to salvage a few things from the Iron Monger suit that Stark didn't catch. Chief among the salvaged parts was the Arc reactor and a repulsor from the arm. The suit itself should be relatively easy, especially if I can salvage some tech during the Stark Expo during the Iron Man 2 story line. During the last few days, I've been working on reverse engineering it, unfortunately I am having next to no luck. The fact that stark built this in a cave is shocking honestly, it really shows his genius.

Hopefully I can figure it out soon, If I can replicate the Arc Reactor at the least, My Glider will have nearly unlimited power, I would just need to find a way to power the reactor…

The way an Arc reactor works is it takes some power from an outside source, in IM 2 it is the Palladium chip, and uses it to launch Atoms around the reactor. Once they collide into each other it creates an enormous amount of energy. This energy is then used to power something else, unfortunately, the original power source can run out, so If I can find something to power the Arc Reactor indefinitely, I would have unlimited power for my glider or my other projects.

Another thing I need to work on is my suit. During the fight with Stane, he was able to rip the helmet off without too much of an issue. This is a problem I do not want to happen in the future, I do intend to fight people much stronger than me and if they can unmask me without really trying, then we have an issue.

Pulling some goggles and gloves on, I get to work.

(1 week later)

"Hey Otto! How've you been?" I ask the good doctor. With everything that has happened recently, I forgot about the presentation he was going to give at Oscorp today. Once I was reminded (Thank god for Bernard) I immediately invited Stark, Peter, and the Fantastic Four.

"Mr. Osborn, I am doing well. My project is going as planned. Oh, and I looked at your notes on my project and I must say that you helped me correct what could have been a grievous oversight on my part."

Dr. Otto Octavious was a genius, He was about 5'7" and he was a little bit on the heavy side, He had brown hair and brown eyes. He was truly intelligent, even going so far as to attempt to create a miniature sun. Unfortunately he is forgetful, and when he showed me his notes on his project I immediately noticed a slight miscalculation. When he made this machine he accounted for the power the sun would produce as well as the heat, unfortunately he overlooked the gravitational pull that the miniature sun would produce. If he let things go as it was, then we would have a supervillain on our hands.

"At least it was fixed, that is all that matters. With this, we will be the leaders in clean energy! You are going to put Oscorp on the map Otto."

Well, more so than it already was.

Walking onto the stage, I look out to the crowd of people. There were a lot of various reporters and scientists here, in the back I could see Peter conversing with the Fantastic Four, and in the corner I could see Stark talking to someone on the phone.

"Attention everyone! If I can have your attention please! Thank you. As you all know, Oscorp has been attempting to branch out into different fields: Medicine, Civilian Technology, and most recently, Clean Energy." I say with a smile.

"He can sure lay throw a sales pitch…" I barely hear stark say in the background.

"Allow me to introduce the genius behind this project, Dr. Otto Octavius." I say as I gesture for him to come up to the stage.

"Hello Everyone, Ladies and gentlemen, my wife Rosie and I would like to welcome you this afternoon. But first, before we start , has anybody lost a large roll of dollar bills in a rubber band? Because we found the rubber band. It's a terrible joke." He laughs.

"But thank you for coming. Today… you will witness the birth of a new fusion-based energy source. Safe, renewable energy and cheap electricity for everyone. And now let me introduce my assistants." He says as he introduces the arms and put them on.

"These four actuators were developed and programmed for the sole purpose of creating successful fusion. They are impervious to heat and magnetism. These smart arms are controlled by my brain through a neural link. Nanowires feed directly into my cerebellum, allowing me to use these arms to control fusion reaction in an environment no human hand could enter."

"Doctor?" One of the reporters ask. "If the artificial Intelligence in the arms is as advanced as you suggest… Couldn't that make you vulnerable to them?"

"How right you are." He replies with a small smile. "Which is why I developed this inhibitor chip to protect my higher brain function, It means that I maintain control of these arms, instead of them controlling me. And now on to the main event. Give me the blue light Rosie." He says as the machine is uncovered. It really looks like three mechanical spires curved inwards towards a central point. Grabbing the Tritium, he places it in the middle of the machine and inputs a few things in the main terminal.

"Precious tritium is the fuel that makes this project go, there are only a few pounds of it on the planet however, so I would like to thank Alexander Osborn and Oscorp Industries for providing it."

I just smirk.

"Not a problem Otto."

Putting on the goggles his wife gave him, he starts the process.

"Ladies and gentlemen… Fasten your seatbelts."

Activating the machine, it honestly takes my breath away. A total of eight beams came from the machine and struck the tritium (which was a pain in the ass to get let me tell you.) and caused a fusion reaction, creating a miniature sun.

"Doctor, we have a successful fusion reaction."

"The power of the sun… In the palm of my hand…" He mutters.

Looking around to make sure everything was running smoothly and that nothing was being drawn towards the machine, I start clapping.

"Everyone give a huge hand to Dr. Otto Octavius for this incredible leap for mankind!"

After that… everything went smoothly, once we made sure the machine was stabilized, we shut it down so we can set it up in a more secure location and everyone came by and shook our hands and congratulated us on a job well done.

I'm just grateful I don't have a six armed lunatic running around. Maybe I can convince Otto to let me look at his arms for a bit, Maybe I can tweak the designs and create an Iron Spider costume for Peter or something for the Goblin…

Something to think about.
