Chapter 23: Updates

Now a week has passed since the disappearance of Tony Stark, and many things have happened in the meantime. Search parties were made, investigations ongoing, and everyone still has hope that Tony will come back alive.

Throughout this time a lot of people were making moves in the shadows. And organizations were starting to act out their schemes. AIM was testing extremus and using the "Ten Rings" terrorist group they created as a front for weapons tests and money making. While The Hand and Hydra stayed hidden.

After his major discovery with the unstable molecules, Damien was able to improve a lot of the devices he made. Even being able to give his parents too new presents. His dad got a wrist watch, looking almost like a designer brand. But the watch was actually a computer, tracker, monitoring device, and protection against mind reading/control. His mother on the other hand received a necklace that also looked like a regular locket. The locket did indeed have a picture of the family and was shaped like a heart with a brand design on it. But this necklace also functions the exact same as his dad's wrist watch. Using advanced hardware he got from the unstable molecule experiment and also using his own powers to further improve on the devices, he was able to make them compact and still able to protect his parents. Now with those two new gifts, and the understanding that they have to wear them at all times, his parents have an extra layer of protection.

On another note Wayne industries was also able to do philanthropy through its new medical subsidiary. Wayne Industries has been donating money to hospitals and clinics in underserved communities. On top of that Wayne Industries has been using a lot of its recycled materials to make medical supplies for different hospitals and clinics throughout the nation. While also taking their hazardous materials to recycle as well. And with the push from Damien, Bruce Wayne, Wayne Medical has begun work on DNA sequencing and creating new technologies that will help in identifying a person and tracking family ties or ancestry. Although the research is new, with the relevant information and data from both Damien and Alfred the scientist and engineers were able to progress quicker than anticipated.

Now in his room on his computer is Damien. After the upgrades made to his laptop and desktop at home Damien is now able to multitask even on his home computer. Currently he's going over the research for his unstable Malcolm project at the same time monitoring and managing the information from the Bruce Wayne synthoid.

Appearing in the corner of the screen was an animation of Alfred's face.

Alfred-" Sir. There is news that Aldrich Killian will be testing his extremus serum personally in two weeks. What would you like to do?"

Damien-" Send some mosquito drones over to Killian. Make sure there are two drones with a sample of his blood both before and after he takes the serum. Also make sure to have some drones go in to copy all the data and information from all the same servers and see if you can get a vial of the serum itself. Make sure that the drones only take samples of Kylian after the serum two days later as opposed to directly after. "

Leaning back in his chair, Damien begins to ponder the next few steps in his plans. With three months until he can get working schematics of the mini arc reactor and iron man suits. Damien needs to do what he can to start preparing for the Chitari invasion. This means he needs to get some weapons and combat practice before the invasion. With that in mind, Damien begins to design the weapons and other features for his Hero suit.
