179. Hunger Removed

Tony Stark was a man with too much money. Even more so now that his father had returned and they were rolling out some new product every month. It was like a competition between them about who is the smart one.

"So, I won this month too. I made 300 million from my product. 112 million more than yours." Howard proudly said.

"Argh... I'll get you next month. You just wait. Hey, why don't we invite the old man too? It'll be fun," Tony suggested.

Howard's face suddenly turned pale, "No, don't. If he joins then we can both say goodbye to ever winning. You still have much to learn about him, son. He's the most intelligent person I've known in my life. He even decoded the Enigma in world war in his mind. He also built stuff so fast that by the time we'd completed one project he'd have completed ten and would be eating pizza in front of us to piss us off."

Tony just silently heard everything. Father and son moments never used to happen before but now, Howard had changed so much and they build stuff together.

"Then I guess it'll be just us." Tony agreed.

Jarvis suddenly spoke, "Sir, I received a message from Ghost, a car is waiting for you two. You both are invited to Universe Tower."

Howard scoffed, "Send the car away. The building is just adjacent to this. Why would you need a car."

"No sir, Mr. Universe insisted that you come in the car. I-I can't deny him, sir." Jarvis said.

Tony got suspicious. "Why do you sound scared?"

Jarvis had pretty much turned sentient already and had asked for a body to be made. Tony wasn't against it either as he considered Jarvis his old friend.

"Sir, Ghost has been teaching me to update my emotional settings. He's like my mentor and I don't want to say no to him." Jarvis said, surprising them both.

"So that's why you feel so... human now. Good job, Jarvis. We'll go now." Tony got up to leave. Howard followed behind.

They came down and walked to the entrance. The Stark building had a nice small garden around the building. Tony didn't see but Howard noticed something.

"Tony, why are there so many kids sitting there?" Howard asked.

Tony stopped in his path and looked at the garden area confusedly. "I don't really know. Jarvis, what's the deal?"

"Sir, they are here for the wifi. They are all students and work on their projects as your wifi is the second-fastest in the world." Jarvis informed them.

"Cool, wait... My Wifi is the second fastest? Who's first?" Tony asked.

"It's the Universe Tower, sir. They have 10GB/s Wifi." Jarvis informed.

"Then why are the students here?" He asked.

"Because the rest of them are already there. Mr. Universe has designated 10 floors for the kids. They can eat and work on their project there for free. They just have to get an ID made up for security reasons." Jarvis told them.

Howard smirked, "See, I told you to not mess with him. He's not even trying and has already beaten you."

"I haven't quit yet. Jarvis, we have 5 floors empty. Order furniture for it. Also, update my plans. I'm going to upgrade the Internet." He made notes.

"Don't, son. The next thing we'll know, the whole city has free wifi." Howard warned him.

"No dad, Tony Stark never goes down without a fight. Now let's get into the car."

A nice futuristic-looking Rolls Royce was waiting for them there. It suddenly opened for them on its own. The whole roof came off for them to get in.

There was no driver. Just empty seats for them. Howard got in without a care. He had seen too many things in space.

But Tony was different, "Is this a show of power?"

They got into the car and it didn't even make a noise. It started moving out of the roofed road and came to the open. They didn't even feel like the car was moving.

But then the car started flying up. It kept on going up as the people on the ground looked at it and gawked. Tony was feeling a different kind of excitement. He could feel that the car was way beyond the current tech of the world. Even he might have not been able to make it so good. Just making the engine soundless would have taken him a lot of time.

He seriously realized that Alexander was totally serious about taking humanity to stars and he couldn't be happier.

"I think I'll vote for him," Tony said.

"Haha... I just remembered when I said that there would be flying cars in the future in Stark Expo." Howard laughed.

"Yeah, Steve had asked me about it," Tony added.

Before they even knew it, they were on Alexander's floor on Universe Tower. It now had a parking area for flying cars leading straight into the building.

Alexander was waiting for them while grinning. "Haha... Welcome to the future, lads."

Tony noticed two more vehicles parked there. One looked like a motorcycle and the other looked like some kind of aircraft.

"Ah, those are for SHIELD. They are going global and need some new gadgets. This is the Hoverbike. It can fly up to an altitude of two hundred meters at a speed of 600 Km/h. The other one is a sentry fighter aircraft. Dual seater with dual machine guns." He told them.

Both of them kept on nodding, Howard soon asked "What did you use for the power source. I'm sure you aren't careless enough to give them the arc reactor yet."

"Haha... I found something much better. You remember the Tesseract? I did a lot of research on it. We know that inside it is the Space Stone which is the power source. But Tesseract is made of something that could hold it.

"In my research, I found that the Tesseract wasn't just holding it but also trapping its radiation. So I did some tests and found some alternatives that could act like Tesseract. So, I made these energy cells. These are like the ones we saw in WW2 but these can be charged with normal electricity.

"The only requirement is that they need a charge of pretty strong intensity. This is a problem as most homes don't have wirings for such intensity. I'll need to make some other alternative superconductor." He explained to them.

Howard could only nod at the genius of Alexander. Tony, on the other hand, had an idea, "I think I can help you with that. For my Armor, I had to build new wiring for it to withstand the load. We can use that."

And soon they started exchanging ideas and new discoveries were made that day.

...

The changes were real. They were happening around the world. But there were some who were still criticizing him and his ambition to take humans to the stars. It seemed like they had forgotten the recent alien invasion.

But Alexander wasn't disappointed. He knew people were too short-sighted. They cannot move forward quickly unless there is fire on their asses. This was the reason he was trying to bring out some new stuff to show everyone that he was serious.

But this was not enough and he knew it. So he was on his way to the Sahara Desert. He had a whole entourage of people with him. Many of them were Avengers as they wanted to witness the magic he was going to perform. There were some journalists too, handpicked by him.

Alexander lowered the aircraft onto a sand dune and let everyone get down. Among the superheroes, Tony, Black Widow, Leonidas, Steve, and Bruce had come.

Alexander looked at everyone, "So, you all must be thinking why I brought you here right? Well, we all know that our planet is still plagued by malnourishment and hunger. Today, I will remove that problem. If the governments around the world won't focus on such problems then I'll have to do it.

"My motive is nothing but to remove hunger from our planet. This is one of the prerequisites if we want to become a space civilization. I have bought 30% of the Sahara Desert for this purpose. Now, just watch." He said and looked towards the endless desert.

He took out his Dragon Slayer Sword which was made of God's Metal and changed it to be a Staff. Then he placed the reality Stone in it.

"From this day onwards. No one shall die of hunger. No child will ever cry for food." He loudly announced and soon the sky turned cloudy and started to rain.

Alexander waved his other hand and umbrellas appeared in everyone's hands.
