The fight that Tony was expecting, surprisingly, never really came to fruition.
After the press conference where he vehemently defended Iron Man's actions, there wasn't a peep from Oscorp. He was initially worried, thinking that Osborn was planning something behind closed doors to retaliate. As time went on, however, he relaxed a little, focusing more on work and other such things.
And a lot of work he did.
"I'm uploaded and ready, sir."Tony slipped off the hoodie he was wearing before carrying his newest project to an open space in the lab. He'd been working on it since before the whole Goblin fiasco, but now it was finally ready to test. It took a lot of sleepless nights and Starbucks delivery, but nothing Tony wasn't already used to.
The object itself looked like a normal, if avant garde, briefcase. The coloring and markings were reminiscent of Iron Man's usual look, albeit silver rather than gold; a new look for a new project.
Tony placed the case at his feet, then promptly stepped on the edge of it.
With a click and a whir, the mechanism inside started up. The handle of the case separated into two, leading to gauntlets that Tony easily slipped on. The rest of the case he hoisted up to his chest, where it clicked into place. From there, it was all automatic. Just like his previous models, everything clicked into place, except now, he didn't need the assistance of his usual assembly set up. This model was portable, making it easier for Tony to "call on" Iron Man when out and about.
Finally, the faceplate closed down, and Tony was face to face with J.A.R.V.I.S.'s UI.
"All systems are functioning properly, sir. It's certainly not my place to do so, but I'd call this a success."Tony smirked.
"Couldn't agree more, J.A.R.V.I.S. I say we celebrate. Call up Pepper Potts. Let's see if she's on for dinner tonight."
