He pauses. Aise looks to the direction of the stairs, before slowly walking down, his nails slowly growing instinctively. He looks into the living room, seeing a brown haired figure watching T.V. He slowly walks up to them, not making a single sound, his predatory instincts from the Tiger DNA kicking in. He pauses seeing Iron-Man or Tony Stark just sitting and watching T.V. in his house…
"The fuck…?"
Stark, as if it was normal for him being here, looks over to me, "Oh… You need to update your security."
Aise just stares stunned at him. "Why… How… Know what fuck it." He walks away going into the kitchen to get a can of coke. He walks out drinking the can of coke. "The fuck do you want?" He says, now slowly becoming more alert from the sugar in his system… Which also skewers his filter quite a bit.
He grins. "I want you to work for me."
[ has stopped working]
[Restart Protocol enacted]
[Restarting…]
[Restarting Complete. Estimated Time: 1 minute]
Aise stares at the man-child for a moment. "No." He says.
"Alright I'll get to building you a lab- Wait what?"
Aise stares at Tony infront of him. "The only way I'm even remotely taking that, is if I can live in the Stark Tower."
"Done."
Aise stands there processing that for a moment, "That… was unexpected." He goes upstairs packing his stuff without hesitation, which is pretty limited since he couldn't buy the tools without missing out on a few unessentials.
Tony looks at Aise who had all his stuff packed in 2 boxes, his lab stuff left in the basement. "I kinda expected you to ask for more things… I even have a enhanced jeep outside if you wanted a car, hell I got an approved license and everything."
"... Since you got the jeep, I'm taking it. Addressing the other things. I don't really care as long as I get a bigger lab. I don't really like being this weak with villains able to destroy buildings and cars with ease."
"Damn… Coldwell is a man of greed I see." He says, the cogs literally turning in his mind.
"What's the use of greed if I don't use it? And it's not really greed, it's more of a survival instinct."
"Sure… and I'm a Hero." He says that as if wasn't one…
"Of course you aren't… You're too much of an asshole for that." Aise says, playing into his role of not knowing who he is. He was too busy looking through his boxes, seeing if he got everything, to catch the flinch from Tony.
"Well… Let's get going Cobalt."
Aise shrugs before walking outside, almost dropping the boxes from seeing an intimidating Happy right in front of his door. He looked as if he was standing there for a while from the stiffness in his legs. "Got what you came for Stark?"
"Yes, Happy. Meet are new geneticists Cobalt."
Aise freezes. "How the hell do you know about my Genetic ma-Research?"
"You get so into your work that you are completely oblivious to your surroundings, sometimes I've just come in and seen you working on something, completely unnoticed. Really love the lab by the way, nowhere close to mine, but it's good." Stark either didn't notice Aise's slip up or didn't care. Though Aise noticed, Happy became more alert after his slip-up. [1]
"Thank you, I guess?"

After getting into the car and driving for quite a few minutes, Aise arrived at Stark Tower. His eyes stare amazed at the height of the tower. Happy snorts in amusement from behind him, while Stark puffs up in pride, like a lion. "Welcome to Stark Tower, named after the greatest man to ever exist." Aise looks over stark before saying, "Yeah… Don't believe that for a second."
After a bit of back and forth, they went inside taking the elevator to 92 second floor. The door opens to reveal a giant lab full of geneticist-based equipment. A few advanced microscopes all over the lab, lockers full of tubes of DNA strands, quite a few gene-splicing equipment for different parts of DNA strands. Aise's ability reacts to all the equipment and starts scanning the new machines into its hivemind of instinctive information based on Genetics.
Aise walks in admiring the place, "... Is anyone else going to be hired here?"
Stark shakes his head, "No. Unless you allow them to. This whole lab is just for you."
Aise practically snaps his head to look at Stark. "All of this…"
"Is yours." Stark says as if this lab wasn't even anything special.
Aise stares at Stark for a moment, before disappearing immediately looking through all the DNA strands. He notices how they are all grouped together as if they didn't have different DNA. His mind starts whirring into action as he starts to sort the DNA based on the creature they are from. Reptile, Bird, Semi-Aquatic, Sky, Land… Etc.
He doesn't notice Stark chuckling at his enthusiasm. Stark goes into the elevator, pressing one of the buttons. Leaving Aise alone in the lab.
~ Genekinesis ~
After sorting the DNA, learning the basics of all the machines, then testing his DNA to see how the machines would react… Most of them qualified his DNA as unstable, which was false, so he had to alter them or fix them in the future. Other than that the lab was amazing, he had access to hundreds and thousands strands of DNA, some of endangered species.
After 2 hours of testing DNA strands and the ability they give to their specific animal or species. He decided to try something different, instead of adding DNA to himself, he wanted to test it out on an animal… I know that sounds horrible, but hear him out. He can create a mythological creature with enough effort, like a basilisk or something. And secondly, he's not gonna use DNA that would harm or kill the animal. Still fucked up though.
He walks to the elevator, pressing for the bottom floor. He waits, bouncing his foot. He walks out of the elevator walking for the exit door. Aise stops feeling a sharp object at the back of his neck. "Who are you and how did you get in here?" The voice was cold and calculating. He wasn't concerned about the sharp object, due to the enhancements he did to his body. "Rise Cobalt, a newly hired Geneticist… I was let in?" He said the last part halfly mocking the other sarcastically. On the inside he's brimming with anxiety and fear. The reason he didn't say Smith is because his name was changed after coming here.
The sharp object, most likely a reinforced needle, was removed from my neck. Aise goes on walking to the exit door, like it was a normal saturday. He keeps up his mask, not missing the eyes of a red-head following him out.
~ Genekinesis ~
He finally finds a local pet store after being lost for a bit, before deciding to use Stark Maps. You know what it's a parody of, I'm not gonna insult your intelligence. He walks into the Pet Store, the small bell hanging on top of the door, rong through the store. Aise looks through the cat section finding an American Shorthair kitten with beautiful white fur.
Aise puts his finger on the outside of the cage. The cat shifts over to the finger, before sniffing and rubbing up near it. The reaction most likely caused by his 'Unexpected Furry' experiment. He almost jumps from a voice near him, "That is unexpected." He turns back seeing someone he wasn't expecting, Natasha fucking Romanoff mascrading as a Pet Store Employee. It wasn't enough that she scared the shit out of him earlier.
She puts out her hand, "Emily Smith." He keeps up his bland mask. "Rise Cobalt."
She claps her hands together before smiling brightly. "What can I do for you?"
Those acting skills are fucking horrifying. He looks over to the cat, with his finger unknowingly moved in the cage. It's rubbing up onto it, mewing all the while. It took all his effort not to let out a scream of 'KAWAI!'. "Can I have this one?"
Natasha being the person she is doesn't break character at the cute sight. "Let's go to the counter to get everything ready." She walks over to the counter, Aise following after.
She goes over to the computer, turning it on. "Hmm… Seems to have turned off after a while of no customers… Should probably take a few minutes." She expertly goes into a friendly chat voice that almost made Aise let down his guard, "How is your day?"
"Ah… It's been good, I just got a new job." He says playing along.
"Not to be invasive, but what's the job?"
"Just a boring science research job, don't think you would like to hear about it."
"Well if you don't want to talk about it, it's fine." 'Fuking reverse psychology? I ain't falling for that shit.'
"So how's the job?" Aise says.
"Ah… Boring for the most part, most people in the city go to more well known pet stores/shelters."
"Makes sense."
The computer beeps, making a clear audible sound to show it's finished loading. 100% if it wasn't for that, she would have tried to make it last a little longer.
"Alright… Let's get you your new companion." She says smiling. "Your ID, your phone number, and your credit card if you want a bundle of cat stuff."
Aise takes out his Legal ID, showing him being 16. "I don't have a phone, so…"
"That's fine." She looks over the ID, taking a bit of time to memorize it. "You're 16? You're like an adult… Got any secrets to share? How did you get a Legal ID?"
"Well to answer the first question, Genetics." He snorts at that bit. "The second answer, is because of graduating highschool and getting a Degree in Genetics, and Biology, I was Legally emancipated."
"Ah…" She says, masking her likely surprise. "Now the legal stuff is in order, What will the name of the Cat be?"
"Hmm…" 'Snowball? Too cutesy. Frost? Nah… AH! Perfect!' "I'd like to name him Snowflake Rei Alabaster." He says puffing out his chest in pride for coming up with a name on the spot.
"You must have thought really hard about that." She said, putting it in the system. "Let's get you your cat while the certificate and name tag prints."
We walk back over to the cage, finding the cat sleeping peacefully. His heart almost bursts from the cuteness. Natasha opens the cage, the cat waking up with a long meow.
Mewwww~*
He reaches out for the cat, holding him similar to a baby. The cat clings to his arms, sinking into Aise's firm, but soft, skin. [2]
He walks over to the counter, his face showing little to no emotion. His eyes are a different story and look like they were just blessed by God himself.
Natasha smiles a genuine smile, handing him the certificate and name tag. She looks under the desk before putting down a black collar. "The collar is free, due to you being a new customer."
Aise smiles genuinely for the first time in a while, "Thank you." He takes the collar, certificate and name tag, stuffing them in his bag. He walks out, not noticing the lightly blushing Natasha. [3]

Well, that's the second Chapter done and over. I do hope you liked it. Please Comment, Vote, or whatever you want. I hope you have an incredibly spectacular day, this is Shijin Kama signing off. Please join my .
[1] Am I doing Stark's personality right? It feels off to me. Just to note, Happy isn't his normal self because he is working where everyone can see him.
[2] You might be wondering why Aise is getting so close to the cat. One, babies, especially animal ones, are the embodiments of cuteness. You can't and won't change my mind. Second, this will help him not make mistakes while in the lab, and just a general mood booster.
[3] Natasha is biologically 33 in the movies, however is mentally 80-85. This is due to the experimentation she was subjected to. For this Fic, however she is biologically 20 and the mentally of a 60-65 year-old.
