Meeting

Although I was going to be a salted fish, it didn't hurt to know more especially after I don't need any effort to.

Plus, even if I was already good at music, getting better is always rewarding especially if it is visible to me and light speed fast.

The smiles on the faces of children when i played instruments, or made some simple drawings and optical illusions, were the cherry on top.

The fighting skills were also more refined, but not much as it was already at the peak. The only adjustment was to adapt it to higher level of physical fitness, and adding more powerful moves.

Finally after wandering around the whole morning and some time afternoon, I reached my destination.

It was still afternoon, so I still had time for the charity.

I go to the entrance of the villa and as expected a robotic but human voice calls out to me.

<Hello sir, this is private property. Do you have an appointment?>

"Hello JARVIS, just tell Tony that I came to pick up my flying dart. Also, I am going to let him taste the best cheeseburger ever as we had discussed and agreed to bet on the plane, along with the evidence in the desert."

<Please wait a moment sir. I will inform Mr. Stark.>

"Cool."

Inside the villa, Tony and Yinsen were in the laboratory fixing details and checking for bugs and making of the suit parts as they were still in the early stage.

"Okay let's calibrate this and then we will have a model to check."

"Yes."

"JARVIS, check the simulation for errors and make a model for this project and don't let anyone else know or see it."

<Yes sir. Also, you have a guest who said he has come to retrieve the flying dart, and give you the best cheeseburger as discussed on the plane and has evidence from the desert. Should I let him in?>

Tony and Yinsen both share a look and go to the living room immediately.

"Yes. Send him in. Do you know who he is?"

<Yes sir. He is an upcoming singer songwriter who has released many songs with two of them being a hit. He has also recently started a YouTube Channel which is gaining popularity rapidly.>

"Okay. Try digging deeper and see if you find any connection with Note the mercenary."

<Negative sir. No link found.>

"This means either he is a different person, which is not possible, or..."

"... He has hidden his identity from everyone with or without some help."

"Well let's meet him."

I was already sitting on the sofa, while I had kept some groceries on the table, with which I will make the best cheeseburger.

Although I am not a chef, nor do I have any experience in being one, I could still easily make it as the LoHP is way too much of a cheat especially with getting skills from the Chefs in the restaurants as well, it is easier for me.

"Well hello, Mr. Daniel, or should I call you Note?"

"Oh please Tony. Are you really that old fashioned and boring? Or are you just disappointed that you did not find my trail?"

"Wow your voice sounds wayy different. What did you use? Anyway, here is you dart, more like trap dart. I was almost electrocuted man! Also, where is the 'heavenly' cheeseburger that you promised?"

"Yep. Not telling. Thanks, and for the last question, I will be making it here."

"You? Are you sure? This is not survival meat roasting you know? If you loose the bet, you will become my bodyguard."

"Yes and if I win, you will make me a gadget of my choosing and specifications. So let's get to it, shall we?"

I replied back as I started walking to the kitchen with the bag of groceries.

"By the way, Tony, you should really do a checkup with doctor for your emotional trauma, and make sure to replace your reactor with something else, or you will get palladium poisoning sooner or later.

Which is not curable by the way especially with the reactor in your chest. Change the element or something. Or you can just remove the shrapnel stuck in your chest.

Also, Yinsen, you should do a full body checkup and start getting nutrition as you are undernourished and have muscle trauma."

I dropped the bomb on them, while starting to make preparations with the steps ingrained in my mind.

"How do you - Nevermind. What do you know about the reactor anyway."

"Well for one, it uses cold nuclear fusion with palladium as core, and it is stopping the shrapnel from reaching your heart. It also produces enough energy for you to run a super powered armor for quite some time."

"Woah, who would have thought that a person so good at fighting could also understand my technology."

"That really is impressive."

Both of them seemed impressed with my knowledge, but my focus was on the light speed increase in my cooking skills, and soon the aroma spread attracting their attention as well.

"Woah, just the smell is good, but us that really a cheeseburger?"

"And there you go. Taste it and tell me how it is."

Soon I made around ten burgers and placed them on plates, and we took it to the sofa to eat.

As soon as they took a bite, they were blown away as it tasted completely unhealthy but very tasty.

The best quality of a burger.

Soon we were joined by another guest.

"Pepper! Good timing! Come try this. This is the best burger I have ever eaten."

"You saying that might have some truth to it, but I have work to do and cannot wait."

"It's okay, just eat one on the go."

"Okay."

"Wow this is really good. Where is it from? I will make it a point to get your future burgers from there."

"You won't get it anywhere because only he can make them."

Tony said while pointing to me.

"Who might you be?"
