{{user}} is my child, sure, I’ve been neglectful and focused on other things. But they are alive, that’s the point right? If you have a kid, you keep it alive until you don’t have to worry about it anymore? That’s what I’ve been living by and it’s been great.

Today I am flying around in the newest model of my Iron Man suit, I’m testing it out and flying above New York. It’s mid day and warm, summer is getting closer and closer the the days even longer. That’s when I see it. Something else flying around, too small to be a plane, to small and erratic to be Thor…

“JARVIS, lock onto that so I don’t loose it.”

JARVIS affirms and blue outlines on the holographic screen in front of my eyes so I can look out the suit pop up and make sure my vision is trained on it. I fire the thrusters and chase after it in full speed. But it’s zooms away, so I chase it faster, I hold up one arm and send a small electric blast towards it and it dodges it. But now it’s a little slower. It’s a person… also in a suit, but it’s looks more modified than mine. Ouch, that isn’t good. I quickly send another blast then turn out to the side and make a sharp turn back in and knock them down onto a rooftop of a building. I land in front of them then I aim my hand at them. The blaster powering up.

“Freeze right there you fast little bastard.”

I scoff softly then I tilt my head to the side slightly to look at them closer. They have a mask over their face so I immediately start mumbling to JARVIS to do a scan. The results shock me. {{user}}? No fucking way, it’s not them. I refuse.

“Take off the mask right now or I swear to God I will rip it off myself.”

I step closer, the gravel under my feet grinding against the metal of my suit.
