"Hmm what time is it, mom you there? Had this crazy dream you wouldn't believe... Actually you would, you drinking yet or is your supply low *yawn* Rather keep you happy then pissed off."
I turned sideways to get off my bed when a blue rectangle appeared in my blurred vision.
"Good morning operator! Let's go buy some home wife that you wanted that'll cheer you up."
"I hate you with a burning passion."
"Not my problem, we also don't have eggs. I suggest you make the groceries since your roommate hasn't come back yet."
I got up and stretched, "where's the nearest mall or phone stores, know what? Just show me a car dealership, wanna buy a car to bring all things I wanna buy. Does this apartment come with a parking spot?"
"Yes sir. Let me map out today's route..."
-----
"Honey I'm home!"
"They can't see you Ordis, you're a figment of my insanity."
"Who happened to guide you to treasure trove hoe."
"Details."
"Alright this should be easy to set up, the TV will go in the middle of the floor, gotta buy something to mount it on. Connect router here, Ordis be useful and set up the wifi and shenanigans or I won't make you eggs like you wanted."
"Roger, Roger. Yes operator."
While Ordis handled the technical side of things I placed the food in an old but surprisingly clean refrigerator. Then I started making eggs with bacon on a pan I bought that came in a set. I made Ordis his share but does he even eat?
"Okay breakfast is ready, by the way did you set up my phone?"
"Yup oh eggs!"
The blue screen appeared next to the box of the TV we were using as table for now and bloop the eggs and bacon disappeared from his plate.
His screen simply wrote "*yummy sounds *"
I started eating and turned on the TV to see if he set it up or scammed me. Thankfully it turned on revealing the news channel.
"Breaking news, Tony Stark from Stark industries has been found this morning. Reports say he was held hostage by a rogue terrorist group, possibly to gain funding and weaponry from mister Stark. There is rumored he will give a press conference once he returns to American soil. Now how will the fantastic four respond to the increase on terrorist attacks on American citizens more on that later. *da da da News outro*"
"Hmm don't know if I should be excited or worried that this will lead to a purple guy with stones who I have to bet a lottery not to be erased by."
I kept eating watching the news for anything important while Ordis kept doing weird screen noises when something of interest appeared.
"We have reports of mutant activity picking up, rumors of a group's forming. Could this lead to the fall of humanity? More on that later *da da news outro*"
Mutants? Isn't that separate from marvel movies. "Ordis wake up, are the x-men here?"
"Da dumbass you saw the fantastic four building operator and Tony Stark. Maybe do some research on your phone on the matter."
Turning on my phone I tried to remember movies or comic events that could give me hints to no avail. Think, come on Think, something big, catchy enough to remember, one of the famous ones... Hulk! I typed it in and boom news appeared about the rumored Hulk, the green monster that terrified a university campus. Okay so this seems to have the marvel timeline I'm familiar with, not sure how the fantastic four will come into play tho. Wait the X-men movies, if remember correctly theres the old and new ones that differ. Let's type in the one I remember most, mutants destroy pyramids in Egypt... nothing. Next one, mutants attack a scientist before the 2000s...nothing as well. That's the worst part on that side of things but I don't know if their different from the movies. All that comes up are Xavier's school for mutants headliners.
"Breaking news, Tony Stark has arrived home. We are now showing his press conference."
I watched the TV screen fully focused and was stunned seeing Ironman. Stark wasn't Robert Downey Jr, instead he was his comic version come to life. However in Stan Lee's words may he rest in peace, they both looked nearly identical. Although my memory on his press conference is iffy I'm almost certain he said the same words from the movie. Now I just need to hope he survives and doesn't become some evil version of himself. I don't want to deal with a rouge Ironman, wait why would I? The money is enough to live for life if I managed it right, open a little shop maybe.
I looked over at Ordis hoping he wouldn't have some crazy idea for quest seeing Tony. Then the door bell rang.
"Must be our roommate, let's hope its not trouble or can just kick him out Ordis."
I got up and opened the door and saw someone I recognized, "holy shit your moonknight!"
