Chapter 14: Tech Scion
[Night – New York Streets – Simulation, Age 18, Year 1]
The city felt different. Colder. The scent of ozone and tech filled the air. Adam woke up in a new body, a new life. The text prompt, a low hum in his mind, was a familiar comfort.
[In the first year, you awaken as Marcus Reed, a vigilante with tech gadgets. You evade a HYDRA ambush.]
Tech vigilante? I'm Stark 2.0!
Adam could feel the new skills coursing through him. His body was lithe, his reflexes sharp, and he knew how to build a bomb with a paperclip and a piece of gum. He was in an alley, a HYDRA ambush in the shadows. He used his tech to create a series of loud, disorienting sound pulses, setting off car alarms and making a dog bark wildly. The operatives, startled by the sudden noise, stumbled back in confusion. Adam, a silent ghost, slid past them, leaving a tiny, harmless EMP device in his wake. The operatives' comms went dead with a high-pitched whine.
[SYSTEM: Simulation: Marcus Reed, vigilante. Master infiltration.]
"Tech breach!" one of the operatives yelled, his voice full of panic.
"Just a glitch, folks!" Adam said, a playful smile on his face.
Tony's voice, a familiar but distant hum, cut through his earpiece. "Focus, Reed, or you're scrapped."
"Focus? I'm a tech ninja!" Adam shot back, a grin on his face.
Tech life? Time to shine.
[Morning – Stark Industries Lab – Simulation, Age 18, Year 1]
The lab smelled of metal and coffee, a sterile, organized chaos. Adam was training with Tony Stark, a new text prompt a silent companion.
[In the first year, you train with Tony Stark, unlocking Basic Tactical Infiltration.]
[SYSTEM: Progress: Basic Tactical Infiltration unlocked.]
"Infiltration? I'm a tech ghost!" Adam said, a small, triumphant laugh escaping his lips. He used his tech to short out a sensor array, the lights flickering wildly.
"Quiet, Reed, or you're fried," Tony warned, but his voice held a hint of amusement.
"Fried? I'm too cool!" Adam said, but his focus was on the skill. He could feel it, a new layer of instinct. He could sense the security grid, the cameras, the blind spots.
A lab tech, watching him work, shook his head. "He's a mess!"
"Mess with style!" Adam said, a small, triumphant smile on his face. He'd just found a new way to get into a locked building.
Infiltration's fun. Gotta master it.
[Afternoon – HYDRA Outpost – Simulation, Age 19, Year 2]
The outpost was a small, dusty shack on the outskirts of the city. Adam was on a new mission, the system's prompt a constant guide.
[In the second year, you track a HYDRA cell, using Basic Tactical Infiltration. You gain Stark's notice.]
[SYSTEM: Progress: Basic Tactical Infiltration at 20%.]
"20%? I'm a shadow!" Adam said, his voice a low whisper. He moved through the outpost, his new skills a silent compass. He was a whisper in the wind, a fleeting moment of darkness in the light.
"Stay hidden, Reed," Tony warned, his voice full of a new tension.
"Hidden? I'm invisible!" Adam shot back, his bravado a mask for his growing focus. He was getting better. He was getting faster.
A guard stopped, his head tilted. "Someone's here!"
"Just the wind!" Adam replied, a low, silent laugh in his voice.
"Good work," Tony said, a hint of admiration in his voice.
Stark's watching. Gotta impress.
[Evening – HYDRA Cell Base – Simulation, Age 20, Year 3]
The base was a small, grimy apartment. Adam was here to sabotage a HYDRA cell, the system's prompt a silent countdown.
[In the third year, you sabotage a HYDRA cell, using Basic Tactical Infiltration. A major choice approaches.]
[SYSTEM: Choice approaching: Sabotage or escape.]
"Sabotage? I'm wrecking this place!" Adam said, his voice full of a giddy excitement. He used his tech to create a cascade failure in the building's wiring, causing lights to flicker and buzz.
"Don't be reckless, Reed," Tony warned, his voice more serious now.
"Reckless? I'm a tech legend!" Adam said, but he was already thinking about his next move.
An operative, his face pale with fear, yelled, "Intruder!"
"Intruder with style!" Adam replied, his voice a playful tease. The building's alarm system suddenly triggered, blaring a high-pitched siren that caused the operative to clutch his ears in pain.
"Focus, kid," Tony said, his voice a quiet command.
Big choice, big rewards.
