Chapter 15: The New Element and a Systemic Setup
Tony Stark, after a near-death experience at the Monaco Grand Prix and a rather awkward house arrest, was finally on the verge of a breakthrough. Thanks to a hidden message from his father, and a few subtle nudges from Adam, he was close to synthesizing a new element that would cure his palladium poisoning and power his Arc Reactor. Adam watched the news reports about Tony's renewed focus with a sense of quiet satisfaction.
"Alright, Stark. Time to stick the landing. No more exploding yourself, please. The world needs its resident narcissist."

He imagined Tony, surrounded by sparks and scientific jargon, hitting the "go" button, and instead of a catastrophic explosion, a perfect, glowing new element materializing. Tony would probably faint from sheer genius, then wake up and claim it was all his unparalleled brilliance. Adam would simply smile and nod from afar.
Meanwhile, Justin Hammer and Ivan Vanko were busy creating their army of Hammer Drones for the Stark Expo. A truly terrible idea, both aesthetically and functionally. Adam decided to give them a little… encouragement. Of the negative kind.
"Time for some industrial-scale pranking."

He pictured Hammer, red-faced and bellowing, as an entire assembly line of his shiny new drones suddenly ground to a halt, perhaps with a comical puff of smoke and a faint, high-pitched whistle. Vanko, ever the stoic, would probably just narrow his eyes, attributing it to shoddy American engineering. "Good. More frustration for the bad guys. It's good for the soul."
His personal life, however, was about joy, not sabotage. He was planning a surprise for Aunt May. She'd mentioned, wistfully, a tiny, oddly shaped souvenir from a dream vacation spot she'd always wanted to visit, but had never found.
"Time for a little cosmic intervention, courtesy of your favorite landlord."

A few days later, May came home, beaming, clutching a tiny, carved wooden bird. "Adam! You won't believe it! I found it! At the thrift store! The exact bird from that little village I always wanted to visit! It's like it was waiting for me!"
Adam smiled, a genuine, un-sarcastic smile. "Some things are just meant to be, May."
Later, he saw a news report about Tony Stark, now looking much healthier, giving a triumphant interview. The reporter asked about a recent "technical hiccup" in his lab. Tony chuckled. "Oh, that? Just JARVIS trying to give me fashion advice. He thinks plaid is 'in' this season. The AI's got jokes, apparently."
Adam snickered. "Yeah, JARVIS. Jokes. That's it."
His wish bank had taken a hit from the major interventions, but it was growing steadily again. He had helped save Tony, sabotaged Hammer, and brought a little unexpected joy to May. It was a good day. A very good day.
"Alright, Stark Expo. Bring on the drones. I've got a feeling this is going to be… explosive. And hilarious."
