The Wittrum of the Marvel Universe

"Because you know you still have people you can trust."

Tony did not answer.

But he smiled.

……

1 a.m.

Pepper arrived at the laboratory door.

See the scene inside.

I couldn't help but shake my head.

"Aren't you two done yet?"

Tony didn't turn back.

"Immediately."

“You said the same thing three hours ago.”

"Scientific research takes time."

Pepper looked at Leon.

"Are you going crazy with him too?"

Leon shrugged.

"Who told him to treat me to dinner?"

Pepper smiled.

"You two really do look alike."

"How does it resemble?"

Tony and Leon asked at the same time.

Pepper paused for a moment.

Then her laughter became even more pronounced.

"It's nothing."

She shook her head.

Get some rest.

"understood."

Pepper left.

The laboratory fell silent again.

Tony looked at Leon.

"Does she think we look alike?"

What do you think?

"I don't think so."

"What doesn't look like it?"

"I'm more handsome than you."

"..."

Leon couldn't help but laugh.

"Row."

"You're handsome."

Tony nodded in satisfaction.

"That's more like it."

……

Another hour passed.

Leon suddenly stopped.

"and many more."

"What's up?"

"Try again."

"what?"

"Urukin."

Leon extended his hand.

The golden flames reappeared.

But this time...

The flames did not directly engulf Urukin.

Instead, it forms an extremely fine energy flow.

It seeps into it little by little.

Tony held his breath.

"Something has changed!"

Jarvis suddenly said:

"gentlemen."

"Slight changes have been observed in the internal structure of Urukin."

Tony jumped to his feet.

"continue!"

Leon intensified his efforts.

Boom!

The golden flames surged instantly.

Urukin finally showed a slight change.

A tiny crack.

Appears on the surface.

Tony's eyes lit up instantly.

"Success!"

Leon, however, did not stop.

The flames continued to pour in.

Uruk's internal structure gradually became more active.

It didn't actually melt.

Rather, it is under the influence of high temperature and energy.

It begins to enter a special state.

Tony looked at the data.

He almost forgot to breathe.

"This……"

"It wasn't melted."

Leon said.

"It's about changing the state."

"What's the meaning?"

"It seems to adapt to energy proactively."

Tony reacted quickly.

"In other words..."

"It is not material in the ordinary sense."

"Instead, it is a special metal that can resonate with the user's energy."

Leon nodded.

"That's right."

Tony's excitement became more and more obvious.

"That means..."

"It can be built."

Leon smiled.

"It can be built."

Tony suddenly turned around.

Looking at the unfinished battle armor skeleton in the center of the laboratory.

Then he looked at Urukin.

The light that belonged to Iron Man reappeared in his eyes.

That wasn't the arrogance of before.

It's not just excitement, it's genuine excitement.

A kind of situation when facing unknown technologies.

A passion that comes from the bottom of one's heart.

"Leon".

"Ok?"

"We're going to make something truly amazing."

"I know."

"It can't just be armor."

"What should it be?"

Tony laughed.

"It is the future."

……

outside the window.

The night in New York was already very deep.

But the underground laboratory in the Stark Tower.

The lights were still on.

The two people stood in front of the experimental table.

One is the world's top technological genius.

One is an existence that possesses power beyond the ordinary.

This was their first real collaboration.
