Location: 10880 Malibu Point in Point Dume, Malibu

|POV 3rd Person|

Tony Stark is a genius, playboy, etc.

But what he cares about most is himself, women, fame, technology.

He considers himself to be the smartest man on earth, although he considers reed Richards a genius too, he still thinks he is the smartest person alive.

Tony is a very successful businessman, if you can call him that, still he is very successful and makes a shit ton of money but he hardly cares about it, don't get me wrong he loves making money but not as much as spending it.

Tony is a firm believer of the idiom that states: "Money can buy everything in the world", although people like pepper tell him that it can't buy happiness, he thinks otherwise and if he has any problem that needs fixing, he almost always tries to fix it with money.

Right now, tony stark is sleep on the couch in his living room, where you can see a bunch of trash lying on the ground.

*Ding* the elevator opens and Pepper Potts, Tony's most trusted assistant enters the living room, she appears to be tired because of the bags under her eyes.

Pepper: Jarvis could you please draw the curtains?

Jarvis: yes, miss Potts.

When Jarvis opens the curtains and light comes in tony groans and covers his face with the pillow that was under his face.

Tony: Jarvis close the curtains.

Pepper: No, Toney you have to get up I have some important news for you.

Tony: No news is so important enough to disturb my SLEEP.

Toney: and, … I still have a hangover.

Pepper: well, maybe you shouldn't party that much.

Tony: but you said I can party as much as I want after I complete my order for the government.

Pepper: I said could, not should.

Tony: Fine, … what's the important news anyway?

Tony said while he drank some water.

Pepper: New tech.

Tony spits the water the second he heard that, because from the understanding he has from pepper, he knows that she won't talk about any tech that isn't revolutionary in front of tony.

Tony: What? Where? Who?

Pepper: here, this is a video of the 4 o'clock news.

She said while handing tony a tablet.

After Tony watched the video, he went to the website and spoke.

Tony: Jarvis analyze these websites and applications.

Jarvis: yes sir.

Pepper: What are you going to do?

Tony: analyze, find the source code, patent it and create it from scratch myself but better.

Pepper: … 'I feel bad for the guy'.

Then tony started to make an account for himself.

{Create Account?} he clicked yes.

{Please input the following:

Full name:

Username:

Email:

Password:

Repeat password:}

He filled them and clicked accept.

{Username: Tony Stark @}

When he saw this, he went on the help tab, went to the questions section and scrolled down.

When he saw the "what is the blue tick?" question he clicked on it and saw the following:

"Hey, are you wondering what is this blue tick next to your username or someone else's profile?

Well, this here is called the verification tick, this blue tick here represents the authenticity of your or others profile, if you are an important or famous person you have one of these, or if you get famous you can get one.

You must be wondering "how can you know if I'm famous or not?", well the answer to your question is, our algorithm here detects you automatically and checks if you are who you say you are, or are you someone famous.

Tony: How did they know I'm the real tony stark? … Jarvis?

Jarvis: I'm deciphering what I can sir.

Tony: progress?

Jarvis: 0.000.923427% sir.

Tony: … time estimate?

Jarvis: Unknown sir.

Tony: …

Pepper: … pft.

Suddenly peppers phone started ringing, she looked at the phone and spoke.

Pepper: Shield is calling sir.

Tony: answer and put it on speaker.

Coulson: hello miss Potts.

Pepper: hey phil.

Tony: His name is Agent, anyway what do you guys want?

Coulson: I assume you saw the 4 o'clock news?

Tony: yes.

Coulon: can you hack them?

Tony: of course, I can!

Coulson: good, when does is it get done?

Tony: First of all, why should I even do it for you? Second of all why are you even asking me?

Coulson: well, you are the smartest man alive, 'Reed is smarter but he has morals and we can't force him because we don't have any dirt on him and he isn't easy to fool like you' and we promise you some contracts that benefit you greatly and make you more famous, and if you want the apps and websites it's okay, but you have to leave a backdoor for us.

Tony: Deal.

Pepper: *sigh* 'I don't know why but I'm not feeling good about it'

*72 hours later*

Jarvis: sir, we have a problem.

When Jarvis said that a frightened tony woke up from sleep.

Well these past few days tony has gotten depressed, he couldn't decipher the apps or the websites, so he got really depressed but that depression soon turned to obsession, and that obsession made him stay awake for 67 hours straight.

Tony: What's wrong, did you succeed?

Jarvis: No sir, but we have a problem.

Tony: what?

Jarvis: well, the server that runned the websites and apps went down 4 seconds ago for approximately 1 millisecond.

Tony: … why?

Jarvis: Sir, I think it is a form of protection, when the server went back up it was different from before.

Tony: you mean the server was switched? Do you think he noticed we were snooping in?

Jarvis: that's what I think sir, but I don't think anyone switched it, I think it was a tied action.

Tony: how much did you decode before it was switched?

Jarvis: 1.345436734773% sir.

Tony: what did you found out from it?

Jarvis: it used an unknown programming language that I didn't understand, but I found an English label with one word on it.

Tony: What was it?

Jarvis: Bellwether.
