Chapter 5: Aftermath

"Now that Tony Stark has revealed himself as the Iron Man, people are demanding that he reveal his adopted son, Morgan Stark's, face and history. Their argument is that as a superhero, Mr. Stark has a responsibility to the people to remain transparent. Currently, the superhero has not responded to these requests about revealing his son to the world."

"This is your decision Morgan, if you want to do what they want, do it. As long as you're doing what you want." Tony says.

"I'll do it, it doesn't matter anyway. Just give me some extra security." I reply.

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah, there's more wins to doing this than losses anyway. People will believe in Iron Man and I'll be famous, what more could you ask for?"

As they walk into the living room they see a man sitting down in one of their chairs. He says,

"I am Iron Man. Think you're the only superhero in the world? Mr. Stark, you just became part of a bigger universe, you just don't know it yet. And as for you, little Stark, you should thank me for cleaning up that mess with the Black Knight."

"Who the hell are you?" asks Tony.

"Nick Fury, Director of SHIELD."

Tony grunts as I hold myself back from squealing in glee.

"It's happening, he's about to say it.' I think as I try (and almost fail) to keep a straight face.

"I'm to talk to you guys about the avenger initiative." Nick Fury says.

///1 Week Later///

News Anchor,

"Today is the day that Morgan Stark, son of Tony Stark, is going to finally reveal himself to the public. Stark Industries announced that today, Morgan Stark will show up and reveal his face, and then Tony will tell the public of Morgan's general history."

///After the Press Conference///

"You think they'll go crazy over the fact that I have powers?" I ask Pepper.

"It'll be fine." She responds.

"Unless they do go crazy and want to burn you on a stake. By the way Morgan, about that extra security, I have the perfect idea." Tony says as he cuts into our conversation.

Pepper rolls her eyes and I laugh.

"Ok Dad."

///Back at the Mansion///

Tony told me to go talk to him about the extra security in an hour, so I plan to spend the time before that experimenting with the Ebony Blade.

My first test is summoning my shadows, then using a robot arm to swing the blade at the shadows. No matter how many or how densely packed I made the shadows, the Ebony Blade always cut through. Maybe it's because my shadows aren't high quality enough. (I guess I'm a second rate sorcerer) It makes me wonder if the blade can cut through Dr. Strange's magic, or Scarlet Witch's.

Then I tried using the Ebony Blade to cut through some incredibly hard materials, I even managed to acquire a small amount of vibranium and adamantium to test. (Thank you Tony for being very rich.) As expected, the blade felt no resistance on the less hard materials, and a little more resistance for the harder ones. It only damaged the adamantium and vibranium.

My third test is checking the durability of the blade, in the comics it was said that the Ebony Blade was unbreakable. So I tried to check this. I tried many different things, and let's say, I was deeply disappointed. The only thing I didn't try was cutting myself and using my superpowered shadows and super strength to attack the blade.

I decide that my last test is going to be me seeing what happens when I hold the sword. I also want to see if the result changes depending on which hand is holding the blade.

First, I hold the sword in my right hand and feel a slight blood lust. When I move around I feel slightly faster, stronger, and more agile. Thanks to my intense training, I learned how to use many types of weapons, and my favorites were always swords. I'm an exceptional swordsman, but when I hold the Ebony Blade I become an even better swordsman. (Like Bloodwraith when he holds the Ebony Blade)

I put the blade into my left hand and suddenly found a rush of power quite similar to when I see my own blood. I feel the urge to kill anything that moves, and the more innocent the better. The Ebony Blade gains a dark, shadowy flame that gives it a very mystical look.

Then, I hear someone knocking on my door and calling my name, I use all of my will power to drop the blade and when I do, I subsequently fall to the ground sweating hard. The feeling of the sudden gain then loss of power has made my entire body hurt.

Tony steps in and notices me on the ground in pain.

"Did you hit your balls or something? Whatever, get up and follow me, we have to talk to you about security."

I grunt and take a full five minutes to stand up. I gasp, and have to get helped by Tony to his workshop.

"So I've thought a lot about this, and I've decided that you're responsible enough to handle this. Jarvis, show us the suit."

I perk up when I hear the word suit. I turn and see the most beautiful thing I've ever seen, an Iron Man suit built just for me.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO WAY!!"

"Yes way, and its been modified to suit you better. Everything is basically the same as my suit except instead of a blaster on your left hand, you now have a gauntlet on your left hand that can store your shadows inside and shoot it out like a canon."

A/N: Don't ask me why or how, it just sounds amazing.

Tony continues on with his explanation of my glorious suit.

"So I have two suits for you, one is always on standby for you as a suitcase, your real security. It has weaker armor and power blasts. Then you have a real suit that will always be where you stay."

I think about what I can do with my new suit and I can't help but madly grin in joy. I turn to Tony and say,

"CAN I PLEASE TAKE IT FOR FLY NOW?"
