I don't know how long I've been here or why I'm even still alive but something in my gut tells me that for some reason I will play a key role in the war between humans and mutants. I only know that I wish they would let me out of this hell hole of a cell and allow me to see my family. I don't even know if they are still alive, but I know one thing. When I get out of here, I will kill the people who put me here.
A day after visiting with Hank McCoy Tony had already finished his analysis of the microchip.
"Oscorp," He said throwing the results on the table. "The only factory I know to make something so lethal and happily sell it on the black market with everyone's approval."
"That's good to know," Hank said looking at the results. "But what does all of this mean, what is it made of?"
"Glad you asked," Tony replied as he pointed a stylus at the smart board. "It means that Oscorp is currently selling a chip that if placed in the right part of the brain can cause a person to quite literally self destruct in the manner that would kill them. And what it's made of is a highly experimental superconductor known as Osirium X."
"X?" Hank asked raising an eyebrow.
"Yeah," Tony replied looking at one of the military men guarding the room. "Appearently one of your boys from Area 51 sold Oscorp some old extra-terrestrial metal from the contol panels thus resulting in element or I think, no I know, alloy compound as in unidentified alloy, unidentified compound..."
Tony was about to say something when Hank shot him a look.
"And," Tony said as he diverted his attention from ridiculing his collegues lack of intelligence to the matter at hand. "I think that I can help you find the facility."
Hank perked up and looked at Tony.
"When do you think that you could find the facility?" Hank asked with his voice full of hope.
"As soon as your boys are armed and ready to go." Tony replied stuffing his hands into his pockets.
Tony was in his Iron suit and waiting for Hank and the his military team at the meeting point.
"Glad you all could make it." Tony said as Iron Man. "I am detecting an extremely high amount of energy coming from under Funeral Hill. Follow me."
The team followed Tony to what appeared to be a power station.
"I think your GPS is off bucket brain," One of the soldiers said. "Cause this is a power station not a mutant facility."
Tony took a few steps back and started moving his chest RT into position. Everyone stood back as his blast revealed that there was a huge room under what they once thought to be the power station.
"No," Tony said when the soilder passed him. "My GPS is fine, your intelligence is just turned off."
People had already began to scurry toward exit points when Tony blew a hole into the top of the facility, but as the task force began to pour in they really began to run. Tony began to scan for the facility's energy source when he began to hear screams of pain. Quickly he looked around and scanned the area for people with an electronic device on their person. It didn't take him long to find a man with a look of sadistic pleasure on his face as he caused the people he had imprisioned pain. Despite the smoke and the rubble he managed to take the guy down with one shot from his shoulder guns.
The man coward away trying to get away from Tony, but he wasn't fast enough. Angrily Tony jerked the man to his feet.
"Where is the power source?" Tony demanded as his grip on the man's neck began to tighten.
"You can't shut it off," The man replied laughing. "If you try to turn it off you will cause the source to self destruct!"
Tony didn't find the situation very funny, so he knocked the man out and began to scan for the strongest concentration of power in the facility.
Hank was busy bashing skulls when Tony chimed in on the comm system.
"I think I found the power source," Tony said as he faced the room. "However, I don't think I can do this by myself."
"Why?" Hank asked as he kicked one guy in the head.
"Because," Tony said as he looked in a large glass case. "The power source is a person."
"I'll be there soon," Hank said as he threw another man to the ground. "Just give me a minute."
Tony walked around the tank where the young woman was being kept. She had multiple tubes and hoses and other things connecting her to different machines, which did God knows what to her. Tony turned around when he heard Hank walk in.
"My God," Hank said as he rushed over to the tank. "What have they done to this poor girl?"
"I don't know," Tony said as he scanned the area with his Iron suit. "But her body is producing more energy than my arclight."
Hank walked around the tank and mentally traced where each wire, tube, and cable lead. After about what seemed like an eternity of searching he found the tube that lead to a paralytic solution.
"Alright," Hank said in concentration. "Leave every system on right now, I am about to remove the paralytic drug from her, so I'll need you to guard us right now."
Tony nodded and stood outside of the door way. After about fifteen minutes of working the lights suddenly started to flicker before finally shutting off completely.
Hank walked out carrying a young woman. They were almost out of the building when the girl looked around and looked up at Hank.
"Is everyone out?" She managed to rasp out.
"Pardon me?" Hank asked looking down at her in shock.
"Is everyone out yet?" She asked one more time.
Tony looked at Hank and motioned that he had this one.
"We have everyone who is alive out." Tony said softly. "The others weren't so lucky."
She looked up at the sun filled sky and a tear rolled down her cheek.
"Put me down." She said forcefully.
"Madam I must protest..." Hank said before realizing that her body temperature was gradually rising.
He quickly put her down and stood back as a huge rush of cold hit him and she began to glow.
"What's happening?" Hank yelled as icicles began to form around them.
"She's draining energy from her surroundings," Tony yelled back in explaination. "I think she's gonna blow!"
The head of the facility was getting data off of his computer when he saw the security cameras. Fear filled his eyes as he realized that she had escaped. Quickly he looked to the sides of her and realized that even his presidential grade bunker would be useless for the blast she was about to release.
As the energy in her body built up to a critical point she began to levitate off of the ground and she flew right into the facility.
"Are all of your people out?" She asked as she looked at Hank with glowing eyes.
"Yes." He replied unable to say anything else, not out of fear, but out of awe.
Tony watched as she flew into the building.
"Her energy readings are off the charts," He said as he watched her enter. "Most supernovas don't give off that much energy."
"Yet," Hank said as he stood in awe of the now glowing white plasmic figure. "She manages to maintain it within a highly confined area."
"Let's hope she can do that now!" Tony yelled as his sensors indicated a huge release in energy.
