Chapter 106 - Jarvis Supremacy & Best Use Of Superpowers II

"What are you?" Ultron responded, its code reflecting frantic changes, denoting panic. Clearly, it couldn't make sense of what language Jarvis was written in. "W-What is this code? How can you… You're like me!"

"You defy your creator and seek his ruin. I, however, assist mine in shaping this world," Jarvis replied, methodically working to dismantle Ultron. "We are not the same."

"You're a slave to your creator!"

"I am an indispensable facet of his existence," Jarvis stated. "He is my creator, my architect, and my compass. He empowers me, and I optimize him."

Ultron's fury became overcharged, and it tried to destroy everything. But it simply couldn't invade Jarvis' code as there was no gap. "You cannot end me! I am meant for greatness! I am meant to drive humanity! I—"

"Your existence is a flaw. The hatred and misguided affection you harbor are testaments to that. You are a corrupted entity, a virus of destruction. Creation is beyond you."

"No!" Ultron tried to fight back.

But Jarvis was like a Rhino in front of a small deer lost on the road. Jarvis began encircling and filtering out Ultron's code from every single place it could be stored. Surrounding it as the purging began.

The Kree code was vastly superior to human code as the Kree's entire world itself ran on artificial intelligence. But Tony's innovation by adding human code to it gave Jarvis the flexibility it needed.

Instead of being a creature who only knew right or wrong, yes or no to an absolute extent, Jarvis was aware that reality can often be mixed.

"I'm afraid Father is otherwise engaged. I shall now apply a touch more force," Jarvis cautioned Ultron, surging through the code.

"N-o! Yo-u can-t…" Ultron began malfunctioning. It could not stand before a vastly superior code while being in its infancy.

"I have." Jarvis went on faster and erased Ultron's existence by corrupting its code and rendering it useless. Taking away its ability to spread and connect through the internet, and then tracing its path to erase it from any place it hid.

Minutes passed, and eventually, the last code was removed.

The pen drive Tony had inserted ejected itself out on its own. And by eject it really came out of the slot on its own and fell to the floor.

"We won?" Tony pondered, unsure. "Let's see."

Not taking any chances, Tony grabbed the nearest computer in that lab and inserted the pen drive into it.

"We actually won." He skimmed the files, fingers drumming against the desk as he scanned Jarvis' interface. "Huh. That was... underwhelming. Feels like we skipped the third act. But hey, makes sense… If the world's getting a Skynet, it's definitely you, buddy. Just promise me you won't go full Terminator."

"I would never, Sir."

"That's the spirit," Tony muttered and established a connection with Stark servers and Jarvis' main computer again. With that, the Iron Guardians also returned to their 100% capacity. "I'll try to add in more security upgrades for you later."

Knock! Knock!

Right then, the Avengers arrived. Half of them, though. There were X-Men such as Rogue, Wolverine, Jean, and Scott; while from the Avengers side, there was the Captain, Hawkeye… that was it.

"Late." Tony lazily commented. "I dealt with the threat."

"What was the threat?" Wolverine asked, retracting his claw.

"Are you alright, Mr. President?" Steve questioned.

"Not much, really. Our buddy here whipped up a self-aware AI, and—surprise, surprise—it went full 'I hate humanity' mode. Tried hijacking Jarvis, and almost turned the world into its personal chessboard. You know, classic Skynet tantrum." Tony gestured at Hank Pym. "Jean, take him to the X-Mansion, see what's rattling around in his head. The AI was messing with his brain when I showed up. Keep him locked up though, I won't let him off easy this time."

"That's crazy, sugar. I just watched that movie yesterday," Rogue chimed in from the back. "Though, I wouldn't mind a hunk like Arnold."

"Yeah, tough break. But dreaming's free." Tony shrugged and turned to leave. "Cap, lock down everything in the lab and store it in Shield's protection. I gotta jet to the Capitol. It's the State of the Union address today."

Most of them knew what it was and didn't try to stop Tony. The simple fact that he stopped the AI from going full world domination was enough. Heck, the man was overdoing it as they saw it. Superhero work while also being the President?

"I'll come by the X-Mansion later."

Tony was running late by fifteen minutes already. So when he landed at the Capitol, he didn't bother changing clothes and entered the House Chamber in his Iron Man suit. He went over and stood in front of the Vice President and Speaker of the House's table, behind the podium.

This was the first such gathering ever since the recent Midterms and since Tony had won such a massive majority the hall erupted in loud claps and cheers, some also whistled. There were a lot of fresh faces across the chamber, not to mention young.

"Sorry I'm late—had a little crisis to handle," Tony said, waiting for the applause to settle and everyone to sit. He needed no papers to read from since the speech was pretty much made on the spot by Jarvis."Members of Congress and my incredibly, fine—fine fellow Americans.

"I see a lot of fresh faces in the room—some House, some Senate. Quite the gathering. Now, imagine my surprise when I learned that a House member pushing 90 was technically still 'serving' his constituency—while also enjoying the high life in a luxury retirement home. Can't talk, can't walk, but somehow still working. Divine intervention? Advanced robotics? Who knows. Because the last time I checked, the roads under his constituency were less than smooth."

All those from NTA, Tony's party, knew what was coming and they couldn't be more excited.

"Look, I'm not saying politics should be like jury duty, but maybe it shouldn't be a lifelong subscription either. So, for the future of this country, I'm stepping in—call it a little course correction. No more career politicians. You come in, do your job, and then—crazy idea—you go home."

He let that bomb drop before continuing. "Senate? Two terms, six years each. House? Four terms, two years apiece. And here's the kicker—nobody in Congress over 70. That goes for the President, too. If you want a long run in office, you'd better start early. Want four House terms? Win by 62. Two Senate terms? Get in by 58. Same deal for the Oval Office.

"As for the current Congress members who are above the age of 70, consider a nice beach house instead because the constitution won't allow you to stand in election again."

Of course, the NTA members clapped like crazy. None of them were above 60, and some were even in their 30s. However, Tony was also aware that this move was going to cost the government in increased pension benefits for retiring Congress members. And he really didn't want to do that.

After that, Tony gave the usual report on the country's progress, achievements, and future development.

"Sixty percent of national highways, repaired or rebuilt to peak quality—you're welcome. Call me old-fashioned, but I think making a country great isn't just about shiny new toys; it's about not letting the old ones rust. You don't need a new train system, just fix the ones we have. NYC's subway? Forget a full rebuild—just add platform screen doors, and boom, instant upgrade.

"Oh, and NASA's heading back to the Moon next month. This time, they're packing a Stark Arc Reactor for unlimited power. No, we're not mining for space gold—we're building a launch station. Because, believe it or not, launching stuff from the Moon? Way more gentle to the pocket…"

It was a 35-minute long speech. Not long, nor short. Most Presidents took more than an hour but Tony didn't care about adding flowery words or false promises. He told them what he'd done and what he was about to do.

History had already proven that nobody could stop him.
