16 Aftermath [EDITED]

The one month passed quickly. Tony was ready with his suit and his miniature arc reactor to power the suit up. The suit was big and heavy, totally incapable of long-term flight. It was just like the first suit Tony built in the movie. But this time with proper equipment, he managed to build it in one month instead of three month.

With all things set, we began our plan. Afterwards, everything proceeded just like in the movie. The only difference was that Ho Yinsen was alive when the army managed to rescue Tony. Rhodey, Tony's best friend, rescued him and Yinsen at the desert.

Afterwards, Rhodey accompanied Tony until they arrived back in America. Pepper was already waiting for him at the army base. In the movie, the relationship between the two was only as boss and subordinate but right now with Noah interference, the two had more than just that. Pepper hugged Tony tightly, showing happiness at Tony's safe return. To avoid their plan being compromised, the three of us did not tell anyone including Pepper.

Tony went to the press conference with burger in his hand, he announced that Stark Enterprise would not deal with weapons anymore. The shares value dropped and Noah took this chance to inform Alfred to buy any available share. With Tony and him, getting the shares value to get up was as easy. Yinsen was appointed as Stark's family doctor. His skill as a surgeon made him worthy for Tony to appoint him at that position.

Tony went back to his home at Malibu and Noah was already there waiting for him. They have been waiting for this moment. They would cooperate with each other to improve the suit even more. With Tony's guidance, Noah was qualified to help Tony and even could help him with his creative mind. But first, they need to rest up.

Noah planned to speed up the Iron Man suit series by helping Tony. The next day, they went to the underground room to do their projects. First off would be creating a suit which was lighter, more flexible, and could fly. They spend around 10 days creating Mark 2. The process was faster as they already built the mini arc reactor and just needed to improvise on Mark 1, throwing away all unnecessary and heavy material. Noah kindly offered the test drive to Tony.After the successful test drive, they proceeded to Mark 3 which would be equipped with various types of weapons. And it came in red and gold color.

Noah had no desire for the suit yet even though Tony had offered it to him. He said that this type of armor would only restrict his fight. Noah was waiting for a more advanced suit which only Tony could create. Tony had said to Noah that he liked to fight his own fight. Perhaps this was his ego speaking, as he wanted to be like a hero to Noah, as any other dads. And Noah agreed with him, Noah would only help with the creation of the suits.

Afterwards would be the conflict between Tony and Obadiah Stane. Noah would take no part in the fight as he believed in Tony's capability in handling this. Noah also took the countermeasure to teach Tony with fighting technique, maximizing the uses of the suit with his own fighting technique. That would ensure Tony's safety.

And yes, he was right. Obadiah Stane was dead and Tony announced it to the media and public, "I Am Iron Man!" He became the first hero to ever come out on the stage and admitted it.

However, for Noah the pressing matter was not done yet. He told Tony that the miniature arc reactor on his chest was poisonous and would kill him if they didn't find a new solution. Noah said he found a solution to it but it depended on Tony himself as Noah was not capable of creating a new element from Howard's message as it was left for Tony. Only Tony himself knew how to read his father's last creation.

"Dad, I have watched a video of your father. And I think he left a message for you. I think only you can figure out his gift for you." With that, Noah showed a video he had found to Tony about Howard's discovery of the new element.

Tony watched the video and brought back the city demo back to Malibu. Just like that, he managed to create a new element with Noah helping. him

Tony no longer hated and resented his father. After he became somewhat a father to Noah, he began to feel what all father would feel. They only want the best for their child.

Tony and Noah began to discuss how to optimize the process of wearing the armor. Right now, even though they had used the new element in the miniature arc reactor, the process of wearing the suit was rather complicated. They had to depend on the robots to wear it. Hence, it could not be brought everywhere with them. It would be a serious trouble if he could suit up when there was trouble incoming. Hence, the two already found their next direction in improving their suits. Making a portable suit.

That was it for Tony's suit.
