Stark tower

SHILED Helicarrier...

" Romanoff are you sure about what you're talking about?" Natasha sat in a lounge with a glass of whisky and a slightly depressed look on her face.

Beside her, Nick Fury stood with his usual stoic expression, although this time, his eyes seemed to flash with indecision.

" Affirmative. He is Azazel. He's made a deal with Wilson Fisk, to steal an item from Stark Industries in three days time." Natasha sipped her whisky and said.

" Contact Barton. I want both of you to bring him in." Fury said as he turned around and left. " I'm probably gonna die if I fight him again." Natasha sighed as she downed the contents of the glass cup and reclined in the chair.

...

The next Day, 2:48pm, STARK Tower.....

A few blocks before one of the most prestigious properties belonging to Stark Industries, atop the roof of a tall building, a figure appeared in a burst of yellow lightning, as sparks flew haphazardly, accompanied by the lightning streaks.

The figure was tall and handsome, and his short silver hair was tied behind him in a small ponytail. He wore a silver leather jacket and black pants, a large smile plastered on his face.

" Sigh. What a pain in the ass." He have a playful sigh, as he sat at the edge of the building and bit into a doughnut in his hand.

" If only Samantha could hack into Jarvis' database. I wouldn't have had to come here myself." Duke observed, as he adjusted his glasses. He had tried to hack into Stark Industries database, however Samatha was no match for Jarvis. Hacking into even the security cameras and drones was a difficult task due to Jarvis' e have firewall and protection.

Due to this, he had to come here for the information he needed himself.

" Samantha, remind me to upgrade your softwares after this. You seem to be getting rusty." He said, as he wiped his mouth of the crumbs of the doughnuts and stood up.

"As you wish Sir." The AI replied. "Okay lets get this over with." Duke began to preform some mild stretches as he readied himself.

" Boommm!!" With a sonic boom, his body zoomed off the top of the building, as he run down the building at speeds several times faster than sound, accompanied by sparks of haphazard yellowish lightning.

.....

"Jarvis, assemble the Mark II. Let's take it for a test run." A dark haired man stood within a mechanical laboratory, surrounded by futuristic robotic suits, as he galvanized a metal plate before him.

"Sir, there have been three attempts to hack into Stark Industries' database as well as the cameras and drones." An AI with a middle aged male voice said, as the man raised an eyebrow.

" Any IP address, Jarvis?" The man asked unconcernedly, as he took off the helmet and downed a bottle of water by his seat.

"Unfortunately Sir, there person left no traces. I suspect it was done by an advanced AI such as myself." The AI replied.

"Good to know." He chuckled and walked to towards his robotic suits and smiled.

" Alright Jarvis, Let's take the Mark II for a test run." He smiled and opened his arms. Immediately, one of the robotic suits flew towards him and began to separate and attach itself to his body.

From his arms to his legs, soon, his whole body was covered in a robotic suit, as he elegantly gazed at himself from the glass mirror before him.

"Okay, let's do.....t.." He turned around and stood in front of a huge doorway, and just as he was about to blast through, time completely slowed, as everything around him was frozen in their tracks.

"Interesting, very interesting." Soon, a small chuckle was heard, as Duke appeared accompanied by bursts of yellow lightning and fiery sparks. He had both hands in his pockets as he continually examined the place, while tapping on the side of his glasses which allowed him to take images.

"Woah, what a sleek design." He walked to the futuristic iron suits and examined them with a large smile on his face.

'Maybe I should make my own suit of armor?' Duke thought as he took a seat. " I'll think about that later." After a few seconds of contemplation, he stood up and stretched his back lazily. He had other facilities in the building he had not visited.

He had to visit every single facility in order to completely map out the whole building.

'Time to move on.' He smiled, before zoomed out of the facility leaving behind flashes of lightning and sparks.

"This...." Time unfroze itself, as Tony Stark finally finished his statement.

"Jarvis? What the hell was that?" He asked as fired up his repulsors and flew into the room.

"What happened Sir?" The AI asked. "Get me the security feed from like a second ago." He said as he walked to the seat despite the robotic suit of armor he was wearing.

"Nothing has happened in the past second Sir." The AI replied. "Just do it Jarvis.." He commanded. Although the AI was smart, he trusted his intuition and instincts even more.

He had felt something or someone, a strange presence in the room, it felt indescribable. "As you wish Sir." The AI said.

"What the hell?" Tony watched the security feed over and over again and the only thing he could do was curse out.

According to the feed, within the split second he had readied himself to blast out of STARK tower, a figure, covered in yellow lightning streaks with flashed all over had mysteriously appeared and disappeared, all within that split second.

"Jarvis, call Fury." He said as the helmet of his suit automatically removed itself as he sighed. Soon the image of a bald headed black man with looking menacing with an eyepatch appeared in his screen.

"What is it Stark? Have you finally considered my proposition?" Fury asked as he folded his arms.

" I'll think about joining your band later Fury, we have a problem." Stark said, as he replayed the footage from the security feed.

Seeing the footage, Fury's gaze immediately hardened as he clenched his fists.

"You know this guy Fury?" Stark asked. "Listen Stark, his name is Azazel, he's a notorious criminal mastermind and now turned uhhh speedster as they like to call him." Fury said. "Speedster huh, cute. But what does he want with me?" Stark chuckled and asked.

"He's made a deal with another criminal figure in Hell's Kitchen, they're planning on raiding the STARK tower." Fury said.

" I see. I'll handle him myself. Iron man style." Stark said confidently.

"You don't understand do you Stark, this man is anything unlike what we've seen. He's able to move at speeds that will blow your mind. I suggest you stay out of this one." Fury said.

"Well thanks for the info Fury. I'll hand him over after all this." Stark said and ended the call swiftly.

"Jarvis. Initiate a new protocol." He said as he flashed a small smile.
