New Weapons

Christopher nodded, maintaining his deception. "Truly, I haven't misled you. You must know, I started as an ordinary person, but now? I wield control over the online realm and command cutting-edge technology. My form can shift into a formidable Titan or an almost unbeatable lizard-man. And I possess abilities akin to Spider-Man. What's mine now, will be yours in due time."

Natasha couldn't help but reminisce about her days at SHIELD upon hearing Christopher's words. For decades, she had dedicated herself to SHIELD, contributing significantly to its current glory. Yet, all she received were a paycheck and a few perks. Beyond that, she had nothing.

If what Christopher claimed was true, it presented an enticing prospect for her.

Despite Christopher's peculiar temperament and occasional irascibility, Natasha believed he was fundamentally decent. She didn't think he'd abuse his strength to harm innocents. Sensing Natasha's hesitation, Christopher stoked her interest further. "Remember how you wanted a Transformer? I can grant that wish right now."

"Really?" Natasha's surprise was palpable.

"Absolutely. And not just that, I'll help you customize them into female versions, equipped with the most advanced intelligent systems," Christopher promised.

"Alright, count me in. I'll join your team," Natasha agreed, a smile spreading across her face. Christopher eagerly extended his hand, sealing the deal. "Welcome aboard."

With Natasha joining, they had someone to lead the Iron Armor and the Lizard Army. This would allow Christopher to focus on fighting without distractions.

After securing Natasha's support, Christopher went back to the villa and called everyone together.

In the living room, Dr. Hank and the others sensed that something was up.

"Christopher, what's on your mind?" Dr. Hank inquired.

"S.H.I.E.L.D. and Iron Man Tony want to start a war against me. I need your backing," Christopher stated.

"Whoa!" Dr. Hank gasped.

"What? S.H.I.E.L.D. is declaring war on you?" Professor Lizard was taken aback.

"S.H.I.E.L.D. isn't one to mess with!" Dr. Octopus fretted.

"Christopher, aren't you part of S.H.I.E.L.D.? Why would they declare war on you?" Helen asked, confused.

"I ticked off Iron Man Tony, and I also swiped some vibranium and ten bottles of superpower serum from SHIELD. They're feeling embarrassed, so they're coming after me to save face," Christopher explained.

"Stealing isn't cool," Helen remarked.

"Stealing's one thing, but not from SHIELD," Dr. Octopus chimed in.

"Christopher, maybe we should relocate," Dr. Hank suggested.

He wasn't keen on war. He'd been collaborating with Christopher on quantum field research, not getting involved in battles.

"I just need your support, not your direct involvement. I'll send you somewhere safe before the war starts, and you won't be in any danger," Christopher assured them.

"How can we support you?" Dr. Hank inquired.

"Use your skills, of course!" Christopher replied, then turned to Professor Lizard. "Professor Lizard, can you expand your Lizard Army and have them join the fight?"

"Sure thing," Professor Lizard agreed readily.

Christopher then addressed Dr. Hank. "Dr. Hank, I know you've got a swarm of flying ants. Can you enlarge them and hand them over to Natasha for command?"

Dr. Hank had a substance that mimicked ant pheromones. If Natasha wore it, she could control the ants in battle.

Dr. Hank wrestled with his inner reluctance, but the fear of losing Christopher's assistance in studying quantum fields compelled him to relent. "Alright, I'll agree," he reluctantly conceded.

Christopher turned his gaze to Dr. Octopus and made his request, "Dr. Octopus, I need your expertise in crafting a multitude of intelligent weapons, akin to the mechanical tentacles you wield."

Dr. Octopus's mechanical appendages boasted remarkable agility, capable even of intercepting bullets effortlessly. Coupled with his formidable mechanical prowess, collaborating with him ensured swift production of combat machinery.

"Consider it done," Dr. Octopus affirmed promptly.

Christopher then turned to Helen, who awaited his instruction with an expectant blink.

"Helen, your expertise in biotechnology is crucial. I need you to develop a series of biological enhancements for our team to maximize their combat efficiency," Christopher requested.

"Of course, Christopher," Helen replied confidently. "I'll start working on it immediately."

Christopher nodded, satisfied with the responses from his team. "Thank you, everyone. With your support, we can face whatever SHIELD throws at us."

Each of them left to begin their tasks, preparing for the upcoming battle. Christopher knew that with this formidable group, they stood a good chance against SHIELD and Tony Stark.

Caught by Helen's adorable expression, Christopher relented, "Nevermind."

"Why not? I'm powerful too! I can craft weapons," Helen protested, her discontent evident.

"Alright then! Your help is appreciated in crafting weaponry," Christopher acquiesced with relief.

Rising to his feet, Christopher addressed the gathering loudly, "Alright, tasks are assigned. Let's get to work! The fate of our private island rests on your shoulders."

Professor Lizard returned to the laboratory, procured a substantial amount of lizard DNA serum, and headed to the island's grove, intending to transform the lizards into formidable allies. Meanwhile, Dr. Hank led the flying ants to the open space outside the villa, employing Pym particles to enlarge them. To bolster their combat capabilities, he enlarged them to the size of elephants and dispatched them to recruit more ants, thus expanding their ranks.

Back in the laboratory, Helen brainstormed weapon designs, her compassionate nature guiding her focus toward incapacitating rather than lethal weaponry.

Dr. Octopus, a true workaholic, wasted no time upon his return, immediately commencing production of intelligent weapons with the aid of his four mechanical tentacles. His efficiency was unmatched; within minutes, a sophisticated weapon was ready for deployment, each capable of autonomous attack upon command.

Christopher retreated to his laboratory, embarking on crafting armor. While he entertained the idea of creating Transformers, their complexity necessitated days of work for each unit, unlike the swiftness of crafting armor, which took merely hours.

Thanks to Optimus's assistance, the process became exponentially faster, as each newly forged armor unit autonomously replicated under its control.

The private island buzzed with activity, Natasha included. She familiarized herself with commanding the Lizard Army under Professor Lizard's guidance and learned to lead the flying ant colonies from Dr. Hank.

The island transitioned into a state of urgency, with everyone dedicated to preparing for the impending battle.

A distant whistle announced the imminent arrival of a cargo ship, eliciting a sense of relief in Christopher. Stark Industries' shipment of weapons and equipment promised expedited progress in crafting smart weapons.
