Going places
The next day
"I am Iron Man..." Tony Stark said unenthusiastically. Stark outed himself as Iron Man but most people weren't interested in that, however. What they cared about is the winged man who called himself Chimera.
His website had gone viral overnight. Getting millions of views from all over the world.

"Hello to all humans and others..." The introduction video played in a SHIELD facility. The place was full of frustrated faces of trained SHIELD agents.
"Yes, director. We have tried multiple times but something is blocking us." The head of the facility said.
"So you are telling me that even with all of SHIELD's technology the website can not be hacked?" Director Fury asked.
"...Yes, Sir." the man apprehensively said. "We can see the introduction video and even the paid full fight but when we try to hack the website or analyze the video it's like there is... a barrier blocking us. When we try to record the video on a phone or camera while visible, it becomes too blurry to analyze."
"Just... keep trying." Fury said as he disconnected the call. "One thing after another..." He massaged his temple.

Andrew was a happy man. He had finally made his appearance in the MCU, had an arc reactor in his possession, money kept rolling in, a beautiful companion, and this was just the start. The one thing he was sad about was that he couldn't fight with Stark. Apart from having his armor partly destroyed, it was too weak. Andrew wanted to fight one of his more advanced armor.
Since he was famous right now it was time to go talk with Fury but Andrew wouldn't go empty-handed, nor leave empty-handed.
He called Jessica and told her he would be going on a trip for a month or two. She sounded sad but still bid him a farewell after promising him to 'make up' for lost time after.
"Pixel book me the next available flight to Peru available, please."
"Your flight leaves in three hours Sir."
*
In Peru
Andrew had Pixel hack a satellite and have it scan for the temple in which Agents of SHIELD found the 0-8-4 in the temple. Pixel found the temple in three days and retrieved it after being ambushed by some thieves in the jungle.
He stayed in Peru to eat the cuisine, sightsee, and party with the local women.
Andrew was about to book a flight back to America when he thought about the deal he wanted to make with Fury. The Tesseract powered weapon might be just enough to get what he wants but he wanted to make sure; doing this would also make changes in the timeline so he had to correct some of them as well.
"Pixel book me a flight to Puerto Rico next," Andrew said changing terminals.

In San Juan, Puerto Rico
Andrew edited his suit to be a hazmat and stood in front of the hole for the underground Kree city.
"Sir, please reconsider this. This place is blocking all transmissions, there is no way of knowing what is down there." Pixel warned.
"Don't worry I'll be fine." Andrew reassured, "Here I go!" He yelled dropping down the hole.
*Thud*
Andrew smoothly dropped down silently. Weird symbols started to appear on the floor and walls. He sighed a breath of relief for the suit working as intended. He used [Bat's echolocation] to scan the underground city and found the diviner. But he wasn't alone.
Out if the shadows came about four security guards who probably had fallen here by mistake. They all had weird symbols on their bodies and looked crazed.
They all charged at Andrew with surprising speed. Andrew tried to knock them out using [Water shot](making a hole in his suit that quickly closed up) but it failed to stop them. Reaching Andrew they punched and kicked, all missed and the power in those punches and kicks cracked the floor.
Andrew guessed that electrocution would also fail and he couldn't use Thunder Clap either or it could cause a cave-in. He decided to go a stealthier way.
Andrew became invisible and went around to the person farthest from the group. He grabbed him from behind, put him in a chokehold, before dragging him back into the shadows. He did this until there was only one left. The last one guessed the pattern and when Andrew was going to grab him he was able to take Andrew's hand.
Andrew's [Spider's danger sense] started going crazy as the guy managed to take out the hazmat suit's glove and was pulling Andrew's hand to the symbols covered floor. Andrew, in a burst of speed and despair, unleashed his wings and started to hover off the ground with the man. He got visibly relieved for not tuning into a mindless controlled drone and grabbed the guy's face before dropping down to the floor, cracking it and leaving the man's unconscious body there.
Andrew made his way to the temple. Inside, he was able to find what he was looking for.

Somewhere in China
Andrew had done the same thing he had done in Peru and enjoyed Puerto Rico for a week before getting to work once again. Since he had now drastically changed how Agent's of SHIELD would play out he wanted to at least give Daisy her powers. And to do that he would have to get a Terrigenesis crystal from Afterlife.
He could use the diviner but that would alert Vin-Tak(the Kree warrior). He highly doubted he could defeat him at this point in time as he was able to fight and even defeat Lady Sif one-on-one.
It took some time to find Afterlife as the location wasn't specified in the series but he and Pixel eventually found it.
He started to climb the mountain with the diviner in tow. He made it a couple of minutes when a man with skin where the eyes should be warped in front of him in a show of blue lights. With him, there were a couple of other Inhumans.
"What is your business here Chimera?" Said Gordon to Andrew who was wearing his famous Chimera suit.
"I've come here to trade." Chimera said showing a glimpse of the diviner.
All the Inhumans looked shocked while Gordon had a complicated look.
"Don't worry, I mean no harm." Chimera reassured.
"..." Gordon thought about it and decided to take him to the elders. "Everybody come closer. You stay here" Everyone approached Gordon and he teleported them to Afterlife. He informed the elders of their guest and they decided to meet him away from the settlement to avoid discovery.
Gordon teleported their guest and the elders to a mountain top away from Afterlife to talk.
"Hello, elders of the Afterlife." Chimera started.
"How did you find us?!"
"How did you obtain a diviner?!"
"Who sent you?!"
All the elder's started to speak at the same time. Jiaying stepped up and calmed everybody down.
"First, we would like to know what your business here is." She said.
"As I said I am here to trade." He repeated.
"You want to trade a diviner for what? You must know that we could just take it from you." She stated.
"You could but I would make it extremely hard for you; there is also the fact that I could just activate it and it would call the Kree warrior monitoring the device." He told them.
That got a response from them. Most stood up and started using their abilities. Some were too scared to do anything and Chimera put his hand on the device, ready to activate it at a moment's notice.
"..."
"..."
"Let's all come down, shall we. You may be strong but you can't defeat the Kree, Chimera. What do you want from us?" Jiaying continued.
"I will give this to you and you give me some Terrigenesis crystals. Easy right?" The elders thought that he was lying and was hiding what he really wanted.
"What are you going to use the crystals for?" An elder asked.
"I am going to give it to someone important and keep the rest for a rainy day." He told them. They grouped up to discuss, thinking Chimera couldn't hear them. There were a lot of people with suspicions and others who wanted to keep the diviner in safe hands. Chimera waited for about ten minutes as they made their decision.
"We have decided. You will hand over the diviner and we will give you three Terrigenesis crystals." They spoke.
"Fair enough. Here." He threw the diviner and watched the Inhumans scurry over to it, worrying that a single touch could activate it. He got numerous glares while Gordon went to fetch the crystals. Gordon came back and gave him precisely three crystals.
"I got people to meet and trading to do. See ya later" Chimera said as he started to run off the mountain top and dived down. The people went over to look down below as he came up again with wings on his back and flew off towards the distance.
