I walked right up to the door and pulled it open, "honey! I'm home!" I found Tony, with his mark 42 armour placed off to the side, Pepper and another woman around their age with brown hair and black skin looking very worried.
"Spider?" Tony blinked, "great, did everyone just decide to pop in and visit?"
"I'm sorry, didn't Pepper tell you?" I turned to the red hed, "hi by the way, I'm Spider-man."
Pepper nodded, "he called, said he wanted to help."
"Only you can threaten a terrorist, give him your home address and then act like nothing happened Tony," I snorted as I turned to the woman, curious, "and you are?"
"Maya, Maya Hansen Williams," she replied.
"And what are you doing here?" I asked.
"Yes, I think we would all like to know that," Tony asked, "first you arrive out of nowhere after thirteen years, and then you warn me to leave without giving me any reason as to why."
Maya looked at us before sighing, "I-I think my boss is working for the Mandarin."
"I'm sorry, but I thought you were a botanist," Pepper asked surprised.
Maya snorted, "figures. Did you really have to under sell me so much Tony?"
Tony snorted, "she's a biological DNA coder. She was working on...Extremis, right?"
Maya snorted, "at least you remember that...look, he's coming for you, and we need to get got, understand?"
"Actually, this might be the safest place for us all right now," I said.
"No, nowhere is safe," Maya argued, "he's coming for us, all of us."
"JARVIS," I called out, "activate the house party protocol."
"I'm sorry sir, but I'm not allowed to do that without authorisation from Mr. Stark," the AI replied.
"Wait, how did you even know about that protocol?" Tony asked.
"I'll explain later Tony, for now, could you please just activate the damn protocol? It would be hell of a lot better than just having one suit out."
"Well...I guess," Tony blinked, "why didn't I think of this before?"
"Maybe because you're going on less than three hours of sleep sir for the past week?" JARVIS suggested.
"What?!" Pepper cried out, "Tony-"
"-Not now," Tony sighed, "JARVIS, activate the House Party protocol and put them all on stand by around the house."
"Ah, guys, should you be worried about that?" Maya pointed at the TV screen where the image of a rocket heading straight for the house was displayed on the NEWS.
"No, we really don't," I tapped my helmet, "Sexy, you got this?"
"Bypassing the rocket's internal targeting system and...reroutign complete," Sexy replied as the rocke suddenly veered off course, heading straight into the sky.
"You named your AI Sexy?" Tony asked surprised.
"Yup. Why? Jealous?" I chuckled.
"No, not at all. It's just the most advanced AI on the planet, sure, go ahead and objectify it," Tony shrugged.
"Excuse me sir," JARVIS coughed.
"Oh, sorry about that," Tony replied.
"What about the helicopters?" I asked into my compns.
"They're being taken care off as we speak," Sexy replied. We all turned to the windows that looked out into the ocean and the terrorist coppers disguised as news choppers were spinning out of control.
"Nice job," I whistled, "do me a favour hon and crash them into the sea," I turned to Tony, "thik JARVIS can swoop them up with your suits?"
"You heard the man," Tony replied into his coms. And just like that I prevented the entire plot of Iron Man 3. Thank you How It Should Have Ended!
"Now, who the hell is your boss" I turned to Maya, she was different from the movies...yes, she was black instead of white, sue me. Did I do this? No, she was born way before I arrived...but there were differences between this universe and MCEU, whatever they are.
"Aldrich Killian," Maya replied getting looks from both Pepper and Tony.
Tony smirked turning to Pepper, "I told you-"
"-Not one word," Pepper shot him down.
"I think you should start explaining," I told her motioning to the couch where they all sat down while I stood off in the background.
"I-I...I began working for Killian because he gave me the funds needed to continue the Extremis virus project," Maya began, "he used it to use his disability and started marketing it as a cure of sorts."
"A cure? A cure for what?" Tony asked.
"Sexy, get me everything you can about this project from JARVIS," I whispered into my comns.
"At once Sider," she replied as a list of detail upon the project came on my screen.
"Everything," Maya replied, "it could cure anything that faulted a human's gene...I based it off off a mutant I met a while ago, altering the X gene to form a virus-"
"-that could replicate cells at an extreme rate causing a near perfect human specimen," Tony finished, "yeah, I remember that. But what does that have to do with the Mandarin?"
"Because Aldrich can't sell the extremis unless there's a war to fight...a war with the Mandarin."
"Fucking hell," I groaned, "alright then, so you're working for AIM?"
Maya looked over at me, "yes, I am."
"So why should we believe a word you say?" I asked, obviously pushing for the narrative I was secretly aiming for. They don't know she was secretly working for Aldrich, I did.
"What? Why do you think I'm here? Risking my neck out like this?!" Maya screamed.
"Because you failed to perfect Extremis," I replied smoothly, "I had time to review the Mandarin's bombings. And from what' I'm seeing based upon the data JARVIS has on hand about your little project, it sucks. JARVIS, display please."
