Black Iron
Chapter 1: Mad Cackling
I woke up to the sound of metal scraping against itself. 'Oh God please tell me I didn't end up in an accident'. I clenched my (eyes?) shut, let out a deep breath and opened my (eyes?).
"What the fuck is this thing?"
"I don't know sir, should I perform some scans?"
"Y-yeah, go ahead. Make me some coffee while you're at it. I have a feeling I'll need it"
Huh. Well, at least now I can definitely say that seeing Tony Stark in person has brought tears to my eyes.
"So, Jarvis, what's the what?" Tony sipped from his coffee cup.
"It appears to be a symbiotic life form sir. It's absorbing the residual energy waste from the arc reactor and feeding 75% of it back to the suit and absorbing the rest for its own purpose. The energy dissipation rate has now dropped to 0%" In the same deadpan tone as always, Jarvis spoke.
"Hmm, sounds fishy. Any disadvantages?" With an eyebrow raised, the billionaire questioned.
"Aside from the absorbed 25%, the suit has two override codes. One for myself and the other for what I am assuming is that black thing" The AI explained.
"And?"
"It seems to be an evolving life form"
The sound of ceramic crashing against a hard surface sounded out. The man known world over as the Invincible Iron Man noticeably paled and stumbled over to a table." Holy fuck, I was wrapped all over by that thing"
"Inde-Sir! The suit is exhibiting signs of activating! Activate self-destructing protocols?" The creation of Tony Stark spoke with alarm.
"Wait, I want to see what it's going to do" The playboy kept an eye on the Iron Man armor that currently seemed to be wrapped in a black substance with the arc reactor glowing an eerie purple.
It slowly stepped out of its pedestal.
The suit, slowly with unsteady steps, walked towards Tony with the mouth opening and releasing steam every few steps. When it stopped right in front of Tony, the suit stopped and loomed right over him quite threateningly. Its head lowered to right in front of Stark's face and whispered one word. "ssStark."
