Man of Iron
It had been a two weeks after the departure of Covrax and Zs'Skayr, it was a good week and so far things were looking normal for once, Aranea was oddly more closer to Ken when he wasn't driving the Truck, even during lunch breaks from driving did she also sit close to him, not that Ken minded as he simply wrapped her in a hug alongside one of the girls who fancied him.
And so it was the calmness that followed that allowed them all to unwind for once, with Ken perking up as his phone rang with an unknown caller. Frowning he answered it to be greeted by a familiar voice.
"Is this by any chance Kenneth Tennyson, a bad ass shape shifter I met when I was at a science thingy?" sitting up with a broad smile on his face, Ken spoke with the others sitting up in shock a his words of greeting.
"Mr Stark, from what I last heard you were presumed dead, is this a life size model calling?" smiling at hearing a bark of laughter, the Playboy spoke with a smirk in his vocal tone.
"I did, but I knocked them straight, been kind of recovering, anyway I called to see if you were still interested in that drink I offered cause uh… I want to actually sit down and meet you because I was out of the loop on that whole alien invasion that happened" looking to the front of the truck where Hanzo sat with 9S, Ken stood up and walked to the front.
"That depends on where you are right now?"
"Well, I'm currently tinkering at my house in Malibu" looking to a holomap made by a drone on the wall before entering the driver seat, Ken looked to the red blimp which showed where they currently were, his lips smiled widely as he spoke.
"Well, would you look at that, We're on a highway two miles from Malibu, Send you're address and I'll bring that gang around" listening to the stunned silence from Tony Stark, he spoke.
"Oh shit I gotta clean up my mess" with that he hung up with Ken laughing, moving to the driving wheel, Ken took the radio to the Rust Bucket to call in Max.
"Hey, Grandpa, guess who just called?"
Slowing to a park down the road from the pretty nice house, Ken alongside Max lead the slow charge with Ken noticing the very nice car out the driveway.
Giving a whistle, they all stood out the front door before Max pressed the doorbell, with Ben and Kevin moving in excitement while Aranea held Venessa in her arms, the two/four aliens wearing ID masks to hide their extra appendages/form.
Waiting for a minute, a voice above them spoke with a monotone yet gentleman voice.
"Hello and Welcome to the Stark household, may I ask who may be visiting?" looking up to the familiar voice of Jarvis/Vision, Ken spoke.
"Tony invited us, I'm Ken Tennyson" looking up in wait, the door opened with a very nice interior greeting them.
"Mr Stark is currently in his garage and will be with you all shortly" nodding as they entered, the members of KDA looked over the house with looks of contempt.
"Nice place, What I expected from a weapons manufacturer" sitting themselves down around Ken as he sat down, Aranea looked out the main window overlook the ocean and beach with Venessa in her arms also enjoying the view.
"What I would do for a place like this" failing to notice Ken smile at hearing her, he watched as Ben and Kevin stared in awe at the large Flatscreen Tv that took nearly an entire wall, Gwen shook her head with amusement. While 9S and 2B were admiring the interior before they all turned to the sounds of footsteps from the stairs leading downward.
The stunned look of Tony Stark made Ken smile with a wave as Tony slowed to a stop.
"Uh, hi, are there more than last time?" snorting as he stood up, Ken spoke while gesturing to the Celestials.
"This band of outcasts are the ones who helped me stop that invasion" gesturing to Aranea with a smile, she gave a wave alongside Venessa.
"This is my girlfriend, Aranea and her daughter V" moving to the KDA members, they all gave a wave with Ahri the most cheerful.
"Meet the support members slash strikers, Evelyn, Akali, Ahri and Kai'Sa" moving to the next, Ken brought Hanzo and Genji into a hug with Genji giving a salute.
"Ganji and Hanzo Shimada" moving along, Ken's smile widened.
"Ah, and our resident Healer, Angela Ziegler" giving a bow in greeting, Ken moved on.
Another member who is absent is Moira… I feel bad for forgetting her last name" moving to 2B and 9S who stood at attention, Ken brought 2B into a one armed hug.
"And finally the twins, 2B and 9S, androids form another dimension" giving a wave, Tony looked to Max and the kids with the old man holding his hand out to shake, a shake that Tony gave in his shock.
"I'm Maxwell Tennyson, these are Ben and Gwen Tennyson along with Kevin Levin" nodding with one final firm shake of the hand, Tony looked them all over before he moved to the bar.
"That's a lot of names to remember" shrugging while moving back to his seat, Tony sat on a stool with a cup of Whiskey.
"So, Tony, what can we do for you?" seeing Tony perk up like a child, he stood up while moving to the stairs, moving out of sight he popped back up while gesturing for them to follow.
"Come on, you'll love this" following after Tony down the stairs, the whole Garage was a hastily cleaned mess, Tony was setting up a console where a hologram blueprint materialised, showing Ken the future Iron Man armor.
Stepping to his side, Ken spoke while looking over the armor.
"What is this?" hiding his excitement while looking over the design, Tony spoke.
"I built a suit to escape from the terrorist that attacked me during my stay in Afghan" wincing while turning to Tony, Ken's eyes moved down to his chest involuntarily as a soft glow came from his chest.
"I guess you had some scars from te attack" gesturing to Tony's chest, the billionaire sighed while sitting back.
"Would you believe me if I said it was done by my own weapons" snapping al to attention at his claim, Ahri spoke.
"Wait, so allied forces attacked you're convoy?" shaking his head with a snort, Tony spoke.
"No, My weapons were in the hands of Terrorists, and I saw the damage they did to innocence" staring at Tony for a full moment, Ken sighed.
"Well, at least you woke up to the real world where anyone with the right connections can get whatever they want" feeling all eyes on Ken as he adopted a thoughtful look, he turned to Tony.
"Who else would have access to you're companies stock?" seeing the man look up in thought, he shrugged.
"All I can think of is Obadiah Stane but he's been in the company for years and" stopping at hearing high heels on the stairs, they all turned to see Pepper Potts stop and stair at the group before she spotted Ken wave at her with a smile.
"Oh hi Miss Potts"
