Chapter 17 – New Powers

"Hey Hermit," as always, Iron Man has the balls to insult everyone he meets. "Give us back the stones." He added that sentence with his hands raised up and his energy weapons charging up.

Koro waved his staff and an energy field enveloped Iron Man and removed Tony Stark from his armor. The energy continued and slowly changed Tony Starks body. Koro has managed to discover a safe way to empower people using infinity stones just like how Captain Marvel and Wanda got their powers from infinity stones. The process continued for a minute and there was nothing the others can do. Doctor Strange tried to use the time stone but Koro was able to hold him down using the staff while maintaining the energy to change Tony Stark.

Everyone was surprised to see Tony Stark obtain the ability to produce and manipulate energy with his body. Koro said that that is just one of the many things that an infinity stone is capable of. Then he changed Fury, Natasha, Clint, Melinda May and Coulson. As for the X-men, he asked Professor X which stone he would like to borrow. The mind stone or the space stone. He can probably use the mind stone better than the space stone and blink would be able to utilize more power from the space stone. Koro said that he can't lend both stones.

Professor X borrowed the mind stone. He will use it to increase xerebro's power and invite all the mutants to live in the mansion. He wanted to find every mutant on earth and give them a place to live. Another reason he wanted the mind stone is to find all the agents of SHIELD mind controlled or brain-washed by Hydra and to removed it. Another reason is to find all those responsible for the project weapon x and to capture them. The mind stone is enough to find all mutants that they control and free them.

Doctor Strange left after learning that the wizard does not plan to do anything to earth and just want to protect it. They agreed to cooperate when the threat is too much for one group to handle. They also set up trades for books and artifacts.

Fury and the rest of SHIELD that obtained a new super power went out to train and master their new found strength. He planned to join the bounty hunter team for a month or two as they to roam the universe.

As they visit other worlds, they would realize that earth is severely lacking compared to other worlds. Even with their added strength, their fighting power is not enough against any alien world much more the army of Thanos.

Tony Stark by intrigued by his new powers and wanted to perform experiments to be able to maximize its potential. He still has the alien metal and vibranium to study as well as the alien ships that they are studying.

After everyone left, Koro or Chris Black, teleported to New York. He wanted to find Aldrich Killian and steal his research. Adding Aldrich's treatment called Extremis to the super soldier serum and the radioactive spider might provide for a powerful and stable combination.

Professor X with the use of the mind stone helped SHIELD remove the brain-washing and mind-control that hydra has done to many SHIELD agents. There are thousands of agents currently in lock-up that could be used to help maintain world peace. Through the power of the mind stone and professor X, those agents became free from hydra's control.

Months pass with nothing happening. Iron Man and SHIELD are busy building an armada and training new recruits. SHIELD organized everything so that a systematic cleanup of all terrorist groups and criminal groups would be done within the next few months before the next problem appears. Professor X and JARVIS helped identify the targets and SHIELD provided the manpower to dispose these cancers.

Because professor X became an active consultant within SHIELD along with JARVIS and Iron Man, any member of the world security council with any ulterior motive was discovered and removed. Only those who genuinely desires to protect the earth against all threats will remain in office. Although Fury rarely listens to them.

Thor and Loki fought Malekith and retrieves the reality stone. To keep the Dark Elves from attacking Asgard and killing Thor's mother, Arthur captures Jane as soon as Aether enters her body. He removed the reality stone and placed it in his staff. When the Dark Elves attacked, they were met with an Iron Man army. The Wizard asks Tony to try to take over the ship as the technology of the Dark Elves are a match for Asgard. Replicating the Dark Elves technology would be a great benefit for earth.

SHIELD, Stark Industries, Black Industries and X-men, despite the objections of Doctor Strange, decided that the best defense is a good offense. They created many bases along the solar system and filled the area with ships. Stark Industries teamed up with Black Industries to create batteries that can be powered by the vibranium generator, solar generator and infinity generator.

The ships were controlled by JARVIS as long as it is within the borders of earth. It only releases control back to the pilot when it leaves the planet and reaches a certain distance. Black Industries built a simulator to the massed produced spaceships. He gave special bonus to any employee of the Black Industry that would spend a few hours in the simulator. This is to make sure that there are more than enough people that can pilot the space ships when Thanos arrives. He would never force them to war but they can volunteer.

There are three vibranium generators located in Stark Industries, SHIELD headquarters and X-mansion. These generators can absorb any attack and convert it into energy. Stark and Black Industries would produce the batteries that can use the energy from these generators.

Solar generators are space ships that they place near the sun. It would make sure that it would never come in between earth and the sun. The ships can absorb sunlight and even solar flares and can convert it into stable energy which can be placed inside the batteries. Chris Black and Tony Stark made arc reactor batteries. Its power capabilities when fully charged can power New York for a year.

Ultron search for all the properties and wealth of all members of hydra and turned it into cash. That became the budget to provide every city and country with arc reactor batteries. In this way, energy can be provided for free to every citizen. Ultron will manage the whole energy sector of earth and charge energy consumption of business. The charge is one fourth the price of electricity and everything goes into maintenance and salary of the guards.

The last generator is the infinity generator. Based on Tony Starks power that is derived from an infinity stone, this generator can absorb power from an infinity stone and convert it into stable energy which can be stored nearly into a battery that is compatible with the spaceships that Stark and Black Industries and SHIELD created.

Captain Marvel, Tony Stark, Fury and the other people with powers from an infinity stone can use their powers to charge the infinity generator. Special ships were also made for each of them. They are the power source and weapon systems for their own specialized ships.
