He was ready. He was working on this for nearly one month. Well more like last week. The first week was spent crying. He hadn't moved from his bed for two days. Then his mother noticed; then he had tried to tell her that he knew Tony and he also knew that Tony was killed by Captain cruel.
It had gone as well as he had hoped. No one believed that Ironman had once crashed in their town or gifted a lab full of supplies to him. He didn't even try to tell that he had been in contact with Tony and for last week no one was answering.
Then he had spent a week in daze. He didn't feel anything. Nothing when the media kept harping about how captain cruel was America's true hero, he didn't have enough energy left to ask them about all the people killed in Germany. Apparently their lives didn't matter.
In the third week he heard his gym teacher say that Tony Stark was the wrong one. Apparently saying that, a team of superheroes should be held accountable was dumb and cowardly. That had done it. He was finally in the rage mode. He now noticed how more than half of the world said that captain America had done all that for his country and Tony was the selfish one. Then it dawned on him that none of them had hacked in hydra base to see what happened there. None of them had seen the fight where their hero had left his hero to die.
It wasn't right and he knew that real world seldom was. But this was whole new level of wrong. First he had thought to release the videos of Siberia. But when he went for them again there was no trace of them. Must be captain cruel. That had just increased his rage. If that murderer though that he would get away with it… He would see. Tony Stark was dead but ironman was still alive. His decision was done. It wasn't that hard to find where Team cruel was hiding. If you just cross referenced all the known superheroes with people wealthy enough to feed 2 super soldiers; well there weren't many options left.
He had shortlisted Wakanda, some hacking in their camera's (well it wasn't as easy as he had thought, but rage was a good motivator) and he knew his target.
It took two more days to do other preparations. It would have taken more if he wasn't trusted enough by Tony. As he was, he had free access to ironman's design. Well not exactly free..but…He had the suit designs that was important. And the lab, he had never noticed before but now he knew that his lab was way better than many college labs. Sophisticated enough to replicate an ironman suit. It was same as the first sighting of ironman, just making the golden black. He was ready. His suit was solar powered. So once he reached near Wakanda he just had to wait a day for his suit to recharge and he was good to go. He set up his other system. He always was inspired by anonymous hackers and this idea was based on theirs. He had everything ready. He donned his suit and started his program.
In Florida, a housewife, who was watching a reality show, nearly had an heart attack when suddenly her television was showing Ironman's helmet. But wait this was not ironman but before she could think, someone was speaking, someone who oddly sounded like a child.
"I know all of you watching this channel are shocked. But let me explain. I'm a 13 year old kid. I'm a fan of ironman and not long ago I was a friend of him. I was, because he is not with us now. If you have not noticed till now, there was no sighting of Tony in last month. Some of you may think that this is a media stunt by him, but it is not. He was in Siberia with Captain America. He tried to help captain America and his friend Bucky Barnes AKA the winter soldier. Yes, yes we all know Bucky is innocent and Captain was right but no one told the whole story to the world and I'm here to tell you that story."
The kid then went to explain some crazy theory about how Bucky had killed Stark's parents and how Captain America left Tony Stark to die in a cave. How Vision and some robot suit had removed ironman from that cave, but as no one had yet heard from Stark and as his cell was unreachable he must be dead.
She had checked on web and that channel was hacked. She had to admit the kid was good; crazy but good. She was just about to change channel cause Captain America, leaving Tony Stark? Tony Stark who had saved New York? That was next level of crazy. She had the remote in her hands when the kid said,
"And just to prove that this all happened in 5 minutes we will be in front of captain Cruel so you can hear him tell the truth. After all this is a reality show"
She guessed she could wait for five minutes.
