The idol of America. A super-rich genius.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But since returning from the Empire State Building, Tony hadn't slept well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The existence of the Ice Demon filled him with constant dread.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had faced death again. The Reaper walked right past him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He only survived because he \"knew\" Vincent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He never imagined a human could be that powerful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eyes shooting beams as hot as the sun's core.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Jarvis, what's the maximum laser temperature now?\" Tony asked gravely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sir, the laser temperature has exceeded 10,000 degrees Celsius,\" Jarvis replied faithfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Normal lasers hit 3,000. Tony pushed it to 10,000 instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sustained fire could boost it by another 50%.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Tony felt nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even 10,000 degrees could slice through an aircraft carrier. No superhuman could withstand it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Except the Ice Demon. Against him, these weapons felt like toys.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Understood. Save data. Continue simulation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tony calmed down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Technological breakthroughs weren't easy. Trying to fight Vincent now was a mistake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Tony hated passivity. He liked control.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His intellect used to solve everything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, his dictionary had a new phrase: Killing the Ice Demon: Impossible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Interesting, Tony. I never knew you wanted to kill me so badly. I treat you as a friend, but you break my heart!!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A voice startled Tony.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Particles of light gathered in the room, forming Vincent Hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tony fell silent. He watched Vincent walk to his bar, raid his collection, and pour two glasses of his favorite whiskey.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Want one?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thanks.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ha, don't be polite. It's your booze.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vincent poured two half-glasses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Frost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The glasses frosted over instantly. Chilled perfectly without ice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A glass floated over to Tony.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Amazing ability. Even now, I don't know your limits,\" Tony said, taking the glass.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was firm-willed. Vincent's appearance didn't scare him. Being scared was useless and made him look weak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Limits? Tony, when you look at deep space, do you feel fear?\" Vincent asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Deep space only fascinates me. The unknown waits to be explored. Curiosity, not fear,\" Tony said honestly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was a scientist's heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But I feel fear, Tony. I worry someone will kill me. So I must be strong. Stronger. Until I know those ancient cosmic entities can't kill me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vincent spoke his truth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the Marvel Universe. Power scaling was broken.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vincent was invincible on Earth, maybe the Galaxy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But deep space? Celestials. Abstracts. Monitors. The Living Tribunal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They could erase him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he stayed on Earth, he'd live long. But in big events? He could be erased without even realizing it. Like the Snap—a 50\u002F50 probability event.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was his fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Impossible. Aliens exist, but a demon like you? Killing you easily? No way,\" Tony denied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tony, you're too absolute. You only see New York. Earth. I tell you, there are many beings who can destroy Earth and kill me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tony's pupils shrank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If true... how do we defend Earth?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So, you think my actions are evil? Yes, to many. But to higher-dimensional beings, I'm just avoiding stepping on an anthill.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I pity the ants. I walk around them. But if the ants attack me, break my rules... they accept my punishment.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vincent's voice grew cold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tony didn't answer. He understood. If someone hurt Pepper, he'd burn the world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your heart tells me the answer. I'm glad we're on the same path. Now, thanks for the drink. I know you built the second AI, F.R.I.D.A.Y. I'm here for my gift.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vincent cut to the chase.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He warned Tony. He supported Tony as a shareholder. As a friend, he hoped Tony prepared more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Don't get killed by idiots.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You can open your server port. I'll let F.R.I.D.A.Y. move in.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tony knew he couldn't hide it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>F.R.I.D.A.Y. was powerful, but he preferred Jarvis. Jarvis had evolved a personality and moral code over years. He wouldn't rebel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>F.R.I.D.A.Y. was new. Powerful, but untested.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tony, it's not that I don't trust you. But I don't want unpleasantness.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vincent swirled his glass. Whiskey from the bottle flew into Tony's glass automatically. Refill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Relax. No backdoors. No permissions yet. Once you authorize, you are the Admin.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tony wouldn't pull tricks on the Ice Demon. Too risky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A dummy robot walked in carrying a hard drive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vincent took it. \"Thanks, Tony. You're a man of integrity.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Flash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vincent turned into light and vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tony was silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Did he leave?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No second carbon-based lifeform detected, sir,\" Jarvis reported.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How did he leave?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Turning into light? That was new.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he mastered Light... Tony's threat assessment of the Ice Demon rose again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Oscorp Tower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vincent plugged the drive into an isolated server.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hello, Mr. Hall. I am F.R.I.D.A.Y.,\" the AI voice spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hello, Friday. Initiate authentication.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scans complete. Admin rights secured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Friday, open your backend.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, Sir.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vincent typed furiously, embedding new code.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Knowledge from Tony Stark's brain (copied via telepathy).\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having a Super Brain + Telepathy was a cheat code for learning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Superman used his brain for processing; Vincent used it for learning. Much better.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Friday, connect to Oscorp Intranet. Open internet port. Take over Oscorp Security.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, Sir.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Friday took control. The Goddess of the Internet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I won't let Ultron be born.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vincent narrowed his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wouldn't let Tony and Bruce create Vision either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ultron was trouble. As long as the internet existed, Ultron lived. Without Vision (Mind Stone), killing Ultron was hard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Avengers 1 is coming!!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harvest time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wanted Loki to succeed so he could grab the Space Stone (Tesseract).\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mind Stone? Not yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ding Dong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Friday: \"Sir, Ms. Elizabeth Braddock asks if you are coming to her apartment.\"]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Reply: I'm coming immediately.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, Sir.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Psylocke was ready?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vincent turned into light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Psylocke's Apartment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He appeared outside her door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Domino lives opposite?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vincent was speechless at Raven's arrangement. Was she worried Psylocke couldn't handle him alone?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Raven was on the top floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Good lord. Building a Harem Avengers?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Knock knock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Psylocke opened the door wearing black lace lingerie.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"For you. You look beautiful today.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vincent handed her red roses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I see the famous Ice Demon has a romantic side,\" Psylocke laughed seductively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have many virtues. You'll find out.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Please come in, Mr. Demon.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Psylocke smelled the flowers. \"My first bouquet. I'm satisfied, Mr. Hall.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then she tossed the flowers away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She grabbed his collar and pulled him in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She kicked the door shut.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slam.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kabedon. (Wall slam).\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She kissed him fiercely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vincent lost resistance. Psylocke was like fire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next door, Domino hummed and put on headphones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upstairs, Raven smiled and continued auditing Tesla Energy's fraudulent accounts. She was building a case to send the corrupt execs to jail legally. Using force would cause instability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I wonder if Vincent got the AI from Stark? I could really use it to stop working overtime!!!\" Raven sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She missed the thrill of spy life, but being glued to the Ice Demon meant safety. Leaving meant being hunted by everyone who wanted Oscorp secrets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>2 AM.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raven finished the audit. Exhausted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She felt a familiar warmth behind her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Satisfied with Captain Britain? Couldn't even the mighty Psylocke fight you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raven smiled, fatigue vanishing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, her turn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Our Captain is asleep.
