105 Starscream

"Decepticon Attack," Tony uttered the words, and then...

Car: "..."

Pepper: "....."

Tony: "...."

...nothing happened.

"Why isn't it working?" Tony frowned and started flipping through the pages.

"Decepticons attack," Pepper spoke, and then they found themselves sitting in their seats, but they were no longer in the car.

They watched as the car parts turned to dust like a cloud, and then that cloud took the shape of a metal giant.

"I should have let you fight them," Tony mumbled, seeing the giant robot. Clearly, the front page the next day was going to feature him with a giant robot.

"But why didn't it work when I spoke?" Tony asked.

"It's my car," Pepper answered.

"By the way, are we safe here?" Tony asked as they were literally sitting in the middle of enemies.

"There is a light shield, so yes," Pepper pointed at the light dome covering them.

"Where is the light shield? I don't see anything," Tony frowned.

Pepper looked at him and then replied, "My Dragon eyes allow me to see better, maybe that's why."

Tony nodded, and then both of them saw the robot getting completed.

[Targets identified...67 Humans, Two vehicles, One Helicopter]

[Permission to engage?]

"Is he asking me?" Pepper mumbled and then replied, "Kill them all."

[Acknowledged]

As Starscream spoke, his hands opened, and two light blades appeared in his hands.

"Those are Plasma-edged swords!" Tony exclaimed seeing the blades of Starscream.

They then saw Starscream zip and zap and then return to his position.

"Huh? Did he do something?" Tony frowned and asked.

"He did," Pepper nodded, and then Tony saw everything getting split into two.

[Threat Neutralised] Starscream spoke and again broke down into dust, and Tony and Pepper found themselves back in the car.

Pepper opened the door, checked the perimeter, and then motioned to Tony.

Tony, coming to a dead body, examined and said, "It's like they were cut by something very hot."

The split portions were incinerated.

Tony looked at the car and asked Pepper, "How much for the car?"

"It's not for sale," Pepper replied.

"Anyway, what was its speed earlier?" Tony asked.

"Close to the speed of sound," Pepper replied.

"Hmm, I will ask Max for this technology and also those Plasma swords," Tony said, and then both of them entered the house.

"Who is going to clean up the mess outside?" Pepper asked.

"Do you know anyone?" Tony replied.

"No, but still, we can't leave it like that," Pepper said.

"Rather than that, I am more interested in who sent those people," Tony shook his head and said.

Pepper nodded and then said " I will take care of it then"

Tony nodded and then went to rest for some time but just after an hour Jarvis called him.

"Sir, we have a problem," as Tony reached the living room, Jarvis spoke.

"What is it? Jarvis, another group of people?" Tony asked.

"Yes, sir," Jarvis replied.

"Pepper..." "Sir, they are from the media," as Tony was going to ask Pepper to take care of them, Jarvis intervened.

"Why do they always appear at such times?" Tony muttered in frustration and then stood up and checked the CCTV. And saw a massive horde of Reporters, some standing in front of his door while others checking out the Aventador.

Sighing, Tony came to his door and opened it.

"Mr. Stark, is it true you have developed..." a giant.." "killer robot?" "sjduu" ...

"Stop!!" Tony halted them and then said, "One by one, please." "You go first," Tony then pointed at a reporter and said.

"Mr. Stark, you have promised not to make any weapons, yet you have developed a giant robot. Do you have anything to comment on that?" She asked.

"What robot?" Tony looked at her and plainly asked.

"This ROBOT." Seeing the 'I am Innocent' face of Tony, she brought out the video.

"Even a kid can do better editing," Tony looked at the video and said.

"Mr. Stark, it's not some edited video." She pressed further, and then Tony replied, "I didn't make it."

"Mr. Stark, the video clearly showed you inside the car that turns into a robot with your secretary." She showed him the video and asked.

"I am also wearing this cloth yet I didn't make it." Tony pointed at his clothes and shrugged.

Hearing Tony's remarks, everyone chuckled while the reporter smiled too and asked, "Then where did you buy it from?"

"Can't re.." "Potts Tech." As Tony was going to dodge the question, someone shouted. Everyone turned their heads and saw a guy pointing at the Potts International symbol on Aventador - the car form of Starscream.

"So it was the other genius of the Century, Max Potts." The reporter smiled and then went back to her car with her cameraman.

Tony looked at the leaving reporters and mumbled, "Which idiot puts his brand logo on a killer robot?"

Max, who was watching all of this, involuntarily pointed at himself.

"Haah, what a nuisance," Max sighed and then called Sunset. "Your salary is cut by half," and then cut the call.

The idea of having his logo on the car was from Sunset.

Sunset, on the other hand, kept looking at her phone, not understanding what her mistake was.

On the other hand, the reporter who was interviewing Tony contacted the one-eyed pirate.

"Sir, the robot is made by Max Potts," she said on the phone.

"Hmm, good work," Fury replied and then cut the call.

"Coulson, add Max to the Avengers initiative," Fury then said, and Max got himself involved with Avengers in two forms.

Phil nodded, and then Max's file got in the section of Avengers.

"When will we contact him?" Phil asked.

"Soon," Fury replied.

Back to Tony

Tony returned to his room and dialed Max number " Brat, a horde of pesky people coming your way, you better prepare some lie or you need my help?" 

"I can handle it" Max voice sounded from the other side, Tony nodded an then cut the call.

"Jarvis create a new file and name it Mark series" Tony said and went to his garage.
