Chapter 55: The new element
The next day when Tony got his bearings he flew away wearing his suit. He needed some air and wanted to eat burger and doughnut. As he was eating while sitting on the roof of the fast food joint, Fury appeared out of nowhere and instructed him to come down.
"I told you I won't join your superhero boy band. You already have Bruce. Last I remember I was rejected." Tony said while sitting in the cafe opposite to Fury.
"Bruce told me that you have palladium poisoning and your days are numbered." Fury said instead.
"I know. I have been trying to use every known element. Every combination and permutation possible. There is no replacement to it." Tony said
"And I am here to tell you that you haven't tried everything possible." Fury replied. "We have much to talk about Mr. Stark. Let's go to your home." Fury added.
After reaching Tony's place, they could see there were repairing being done. It was probably Bruce who ordered it. "Hello Bruce. How are you holding up?" Fury said after having a handshake with him.
"Well I can't complain. Tony gives me everything I want." Bruce shrugged and said without taking any note of the emotions of Tony.
"Hey we are here to talk about me. You said I didn't try all possible elements. What do you mean by that?" Tony interjected.
Fury then told him of Howard's invention and said that only Tony could complete his works. Tony didn't believe him as he always felt his father was a cold and calculative man. Fury didn't reply to that and instead gave him a box of archives that was left by Howard for Tony.
"Howard was the founder of SHIELD, so in a way your well being is our responsibility. Find a cure soon Tony. I will always keep an eye on you. I have told Bruce to assist you on this new research. He will be your babysitter till you find a result." Fury said before leaving.
Tony opened the archives and soon found out his unfinished notes and a video where Howard saying that the model of the Stark Expo was the future. He ended the video saying Tony was his best creation. Tony got emotional by that as he felt that he might have misunderstood his father.
"Seems like you misunderstood your father." Bruce said from behind.
"Master Stark your father seems like a good man. Bruce didn't get to see his father for a long time. A family's love is immense." Alfred added while bringing drinks for them. Tony just smiled and didn't say anything while Bruce felt a little sad remembering his parents.
"We will need to bring this model of Stark Expo. It might be the key to your problem." Bruce said.
"Yes we do. Jarvis tell Drift to bring out the car. We are going to take a ride." Tony said.
As they went outside, a white sports Audi car came driving by itself. "Drift take me to the headquarters of Stark Industries" Tony said.
"Hop in. It's good to make a round" a voice said from car. Drift was the name given to his Audi car which got transformed with the help of the Cube.
After going to Stark Industries he took the model of the Stark Expo and tried apologizing to Pepper for his deeds. As his recent deeds had been outrageous and it had put too much pressure in the company and her. After a small talk he came back.
"Jarvis scan the model and give me a digital wire frame of it" Tony said. After the scan was done he rotated the projection.
"Remove the shrubs, trees, buildings, parks and exits." Bruce added while looking at the model.
"That's what I was thinking. Take the frame of streets and lanes as protons and neutrons and add it to the center" Tony continued to it. The whole model now looked like an atom model.
"Enlarge it" Bruce commanded. The whole atom model looked stunning. There was a silence. Alfred who was looking into it finally joked "Congratulations for winning the next year's Nobel Prize."
"We don't have the technology to synthesize it." Jarvis said again.
"We have work to do fellas. Time to break this house down." Tony said getting up excitedly.
After a day's hard work and tearing half of the home down they finally built the necessary machine to make the new element.
"We should go, live in New York. John is there. He might need help. He is handling the empire alone." Bruce said after making the machine.
"You are right. California looks boring now and this house is almost ruined" Tony said.
After a hard work and destroying more of his property he finally was able to create a new element. Jarvis informed that his arc reactor could be replaced now with this new element. It was more efficient and totally clean. Tony jumped with joy as he had finally found the cure.
