The scent of Stane has long vanished from the Malibu mansion by the sea breeze flowing into it.

Tony was cherishing a glass of whisky while gazing at the countless stars spread on the night sky, the sound of the waves hitting the base of the hill was mildly pleasing to his ears.

He gulped the contents on the glass and threw the empty vessel towards the horizon, Tony turned around, walked in and threw himself on the couch, with his head tilted towards the wall, he ordered his AI butler to turn on the T.v.

The t.v came to light while he made himself comfortable on the couch, Tony switched between some boring contents and finally stayed on a channel. 

An old man was sitting on the news podium and in the top right corner a video of a small group of people protesting in front of a government building was played in loop.

"-A group of people calling themselves to be 'Purity' had gathered before the legislative manor, Los Angeles, their main comments are the about the recent rise of mutant activities, while anonymous posts on social media about the anti mutant sentiments are becoming a trend, this daring move from a collective of civilians has turned the attention of multiple officials on power, nobody knows whether this a spark of total anarchy or an popularity stunt, onto the business news, we have the surprising return of genius billionaire Tony Stark-."

Tony scoffed from his laid back posture, these anti mutants are nothing more than probagenda puppets from his perspective.

Mutants are the evolution of humans. It's a natural process of development and all those miscreants against it are trying to live a lie, that humans are still at the top of the food chain.

They won't face reality because they are too prideful or scared to accept that but Tony knows all these discussions and debates are on borrowed time, the war between mutants and humans is an eventuality even if he tries to stop it with his knowledge, all he can do is postpone the inevitable.

The first time the war started, it was not between two species but a faction, Brotherhood and X-Men were on constant war for several years, when it was his time, he chose to side with Charles but he regretted it almost immediately, the Mark Strong look-alike was a pacifist and was on a delusion about a utopia of coexistence.

Tony shook his head as he came out of those thoughts, he still had plenty of time to plan for all those, right now he needed to focus on the traitorous snakes circling around his neck.

-Tony Stark Pov-

I still don't understand what helped me stay awake for two whole days, the possible answers are a ton of caffeine or a bucket of booze and my bets are on the booze or maybe my stamina just lasts longer, ask half the woman in Los Angeles and they would coin it a fact.

I screwed in the bolts, pushed back the chair and gasped in exaggeration looking at my first iron baby standing proud in black and gray, if cultured people took a look at this suit, they would notice I have made a Batman ripoff.

Well now I can be officially called a cooler form of Bruce Wayne, I got everything he has and more, for instance I'm not powerless like him and I kill, which leaps me up in terms of coolness and badass.

Definitely some dumb ass is gonna be calling me out for that if I ever said that out loud.

But hell I would fuck myself for a celebration if I was a woman somewhere on the multiverse, pretty sure I am and I wonder if it's considered masterbation or incest but that's a question for later.

I snap my finger as the light from the reactor becomes brighter in parallel as the suit begins to power up.

"And Iron-Man is born." I chuckle looking at my metal tuxedo for the night.

"Sir, Stane's henchmen have abducted Happy and Ms.Potts from the research site." Jarvis reported. "And two unidentified vehicles have breached the mansion's sensors."

"Time to hit the purge button J."

Obidiah Stane sat in a big black chair inside the biggest room on the Stark Industries H.Q.

A moan of comfort escaped his old beard as he enjoyed the texture of the seat, this is exactly what he wanted, the power to control wars, to have weapons that would put the balance of world powers in his hands.

He was so close to achieving it, just a little longer and he would have it all under him and him alone.

"Let Her Go!!" 

The door flipped sideways as Happy fell on his face and followed by the bodyguard, Pepper Potts was dragged in by a bunch of trained guards.

"Let her go! You Bastard!" Happy tried to stand up using his legs but a knee to his face from one of the guards, made him fall once again.

"Happy!" Pepper screamed his name as blood dripped on the floor carpet from his broken nose.

"Oh, this is quite romantic." Stane chimed, he slowly stood up from his seat and moved closer.

"Stane! What is the meaning of this?!" Potts growled, making Obidiah giggle slightly.

"Stop bitching for once Pepper." Stane slapped her, she was caught off-guard by the blow and shut her mouth.

"Hmm, isn't that better." Stane said cupping her chin, clutching them tighter as she grunted in pain.

"Take your hands off her!" Hogan spit the blood in his mouth and roared.

"Tie him to the door and step out." Stane ignored Hogan's cry and ordered his goons.

They nodded while one of the guards dragged Happy towards the door handle, Hogan was uncuffed for a moment, he tried to shake off the goon and rush towards Pepper, he didn't succeed but he did earn a punch to his gutt.

"Why are you doing this Obidiah?" Pepper asked, her eyes welled up, she was trying her best to hold back her tears, to not show fear but they dripped down her cheeks unable to control.

"Because I can." Stane whispered, pulling her close. 

"I was there when Howard started this company, I was there at every step he took, as the industry grew from paper to this absolute thing but-." His voice grew deeper, sending a shiver down her spine. 

"-I was always overshadowed by his genius of a figure, always being the second, it's hell Pepper, I finally had enough of it, that's why I sold Tony's route." Her eyes widened at the revelation, so did Happy's, their shocks were not long lived as it turned into rage in a spur.

"You Bastard!" Happy yelled.

Stane chuckled at their reaction but his laugh immediately died down and a cold demeanor took its place.

"But those bunch of half-assed amateurs let him escape." He grinned. "But Tony is a genius and an idiot, he knew somebody had rooted him out and he thinks it's you, Pepper."

"No." Pepper muttered. "You are lying!"

"Yes, that's why I'm gonna kill you two." Stane grinned pointing at Pepper and Hogan making their blood run cold. "And put the blame on Tony and once I convince the board of directors that Tony is mentally incapable of being in charge of this multi-billion dollar company, I will take it all." 

"You won't escape with this-." Pepper tried to intimidate him but it was cut short, when they heard a crash from behind the door.

"Arghhh!"

A metallic burst whipped past them, followed by the painful screams of the guards outside. All of a sudden it went silent making them unable to anticipate what's happening.

The door was sent to smitterins when a blast from the corridor tore it open, Happy was thrown out of the way, he landed on the table in center by the force released from the beam.

Stane watched with his eyes widened in fear and shock, a figure of a man in a metal armor stood before him, an oval light ray in the middle of its chest like the moon and to its contrast the armor was coated with the dark shades of night.

He sheriked in terror as his eyes locked on the severed head with dripping brain matters and half ripped spine hanging from its hand.

"Surprise, surprise!"

[A/N: The Timeline of this fic will be mostly based upon the 8th run of the Comic 616 universe, which ended with the incursion of 616 and Ultimate universe Earths colliding with each other and that's where Chapter 1 starts from.

But if you are not a comic reader please don't worry as this is more of an AU
