Chapter Thirty-five(35)

While the Four went back to their work, James and his mother left the massive building for home. Coming out of the massive building, They walked in the direction of the parking lot where one could easily spot a weird looking large object sitting quietly on the ground. It looked like one of the concept cars that you would find on Pinterest that were practically impossible to replicate with current technology.

The concept car only possessed two seats for its passengers and you wouldn't be able to find any sort of steering wheel on either sides, the seats were reclined to provide maximum comfort and had enough space to stretch out your feet. The car was weirdly designed with no apparent location for the tires but if one looked closer, they could easily spot the round ball like apparatus that hung from the car replacing its tires. Forgetting the physics that should allow the car to drive, at first glance, the car seemed capable of making near-impossible maneuvers like driving sideways, spinning without flipping over, easier turns etc.

Basically this was a car that in James' opinion could only be created in a universe like the Marvel Universe. Real world physics would raise a whole lot of problems to it but oh well….. this was comics. The car was a new line of Self-driving electric cars that Smith Industries was about to release, it was a car that would basically change everything. With the Birth of Smith Tech came Electric Cars which quickly took over every other line of cars, the cars were equipped with electric engines that could allow them move just as fast as regular cars and were all stylish and above all, they were cheap compared to normal cars.

Saying that Global Warming was a huge problem on this planet was an understatement, Roxxon may just be a fledgling company for now but it wasn't the only company releasing harmful greenhouse gases into the atmosphere that warmed up the planet. Though at the moment, these companies couldn't be said to release much greenhouse gases individually but due to their sheer numbers and maybe size, the planet was warming up fast then there was Roxxon which if allowed in the future would produce more pollution than all these companies combined but thankfully, Smith Industries now owns, Roxxon Energy Corporation.

"I still don't know why you decided to change the proposal when you can reject it" Miss Anna said as they stepped into the car

"Well Reed is the smartest normal human in existence, the only other person close to him would be Bruce Banner but that guy is focused more on Nuclear Physics" James replied a little bit annoyed

"Doesn't change anything, we have….. hold on" She replied then picked up her phone to receive the incoming call

"Well would you look at that, we just added a think tank to the list of properties" Miss Anna said with a smile, a few seconds later.

"Really?!" James asked in surprise, this was unexpected

"Yep, we now own A.I.M, I have to say the name is catchy" Miss Anna said with a smile

"Yes!!" James shouted in joy.

This entire scenario was the result of an impulsive decision, James planned to create the world's most advanced Laboratories that would be equipped with the world's most advanced equipment as well as the world's most intelligent beings hence James had been trying to recruit the smartest characters he could think of, one of them been Bruce Banner but the Military has that guy secured and even the man himself refuses to leave the military research facility.

Buying the think tank known as the Advanced Idea Mechanics aka A.I.M was only made because they discovered their existence and remembered somewhere that a mutant had bought the entire think tank and renamed it Avengers Idea Mechanics. Of course, as a proud representative of his Universe's reincarnators, James refused to be outdone by a mere mutant. Asking Paris to look into it without really expecting much but this was an interesting turn out.

"Paris, I want you to take complete control of their intranet and their systems. I want to know everything, their secret hideouts, what they have accomplished, who they have allied with etc. Next is the Enclave, they should be having problems with money at the moment" James said with a dangerous glint in his eyes to which his mother just shrugged as their car pulled out of the parking lot and sped away.

He planned to slowly remove all the organizations that were supposed to cause problems in the future, Smith Industries owned 73% of Roxxon Industries, Smith Industries now owned A.I.M, it also owned the future Baxter Foundation founder aka the Fantastic four. Now James could proudly say that he had some of the world's most intelligent people under his wing.
