Chapter 10: The Birth of a Hero
Tony Stark's lab was a symphony of organized chaos. Sparks flew, lasers hummed, and the rhythmic clang of metal on metal echoed through the cavernous space. He was a man possessed, driven by the trauma of Afghanistan and the newfound purpose of his arc reactor. He was building the Mark I, the progenitor of all Iron Man suits, and Adama and Morgan were his silent, unseen assistants.
They were perched on a high gantry, observing the genius at work. Tony, covered in grease and radiating an almost manic energy, was barking orders at Jarvis, who responded with his usual calm, British efficiency.
"Jarvis, hand me the… no, not that one, the other one! The one that looks like a miniature… oh, never mind, I'll get it myself!"
Morgan, ever the meticulous one, was silently analyzing Tony's schematics, her mind already spotting potential improvements. "He's overcompensating on the elbow joint," she murmured to Adama. "The torque distribution will be uneven. He'll have limited range of motion."
Adama nodded. "He's learning. Give him time. Besides, we can always... help him 'learn' a little faster."
"This is like watching a master chef, but you get to subtly sprinkle in your own secret ingredients. And by secret ingredients, I mean cosmic luck and gravity manipulation."
As Tony struggled with a particularly stubborn piece of plating, trying to align it perfectly, Adama subtly extended his will, a faint, invisible tug from the Crown of Gravity. The heavy metal piece shifted, aligning itself with a satisfying click. Tony paused, blinked, then shrugged.
"Huh. Guess I'm stronger than I thought. Or maybe the universe just decided to cooperate for once. Thanks, universe!"
Adama smirked. "You're welcome, Dad. Don't mention it. Literally."
They continued their silent dance. When Tony fumbled for a specific tool, Adama would nudge it closer with a gentle gravitational pull. When a wire threatened to short-circuit, Morgan would subtly adjust a setting on a nearby diagnostic tool, preventing a minor electrical fire.
[System Message] Luck Manipulation initiated. Potential electrical fire averted. 5 Non-Permanent Luck Points spent.
"Five points to prevent a lab fire? That's a bargain. Especially when you consider the cost of replacing all that high-tech equipment, not to mention Tony's ego."
The process, while still arduous, was undeniably smoother than it should have been. Tony, in his genius-fueled haze, simply attributed it to a particularly productive day, or perhaps, a sudden surge of inspiration.
"Jarvis, remind me to thank the cosmic alignment for this productive streak. Or maybe it's the new coffee blend. Note to self: patent the coffee blend."
As the Mark I suit slowly took shape, a hulking, metallic behemoth, Adama felt a strange sense of pride. This was it. The beginning. The birth of Iron Man. He knew the suit was crude, destined for a fiery end in Afghanistan, but it was the first step. And he and Morgan had been there, silent witnesses, subtle architects.
Finally, the suit was complete. Tony stood back, admiring his creation, a look of triumph and exhaustion on his face. He powered it up, the arc reactor glowing brightly in its chest. The suit hummed, a low, powerful thrum that vibrated through the very floor of the lab.
Adama and Morgan exchanged a look. Their first major mission as a team, completed. They had helped their father, subtly, without breaking the timeline, ensuring his journey began on a slightly less perilous footing. They were the unseen hands, the quiet guardians, the ultimate MCU cheat sheet. And this, Adama knew, was just the prologue. The real adventure was just beginning.
