Morning, James's Villa
"Sir, Mr. Stark's calling," Turing announced, projecting Tony's hologram during breakfast.
"James, lab, now!" Tony's eyes gleamed. "I've got something jaw-dropping!"
James sipped congee. "Blew up more buildings?"
"Better!" Tony waved. "It can take on Power Princess!"
Wanda's fork froze. "What?"
Kara's eyes glowed blue. "For real?"
S.H.I.E.L.D. Lab
A golden portal opened, James, Wanda, and Kara stepping out. Tony stood before a silver-blue armor, arms crossed, begging for praise. Adam smirked beside him.
"Wow," Kara circled it. "Way cooler than your Mark series."
Wanda touched its silver runes. "Asgardian?"
"Uru metal's divine runes," Tony said, snapping. "Took me and Adam three weeks to sync with tech."
James scanned it. "This is your morning surprise?"
"Surprise?" Tony spread his arms. "It's art! It's—"
"Anti-Superman Armor," James cut in.
Silence. "Damn!" Tony deflated. "How'd you know?"
"Your face screams 'I'm gonna punch Superman,'" James teased, patting his shoulder. "Details?"
Tony grinned. "Jarvis, projection!"
A 3D model spun. "Power system: Shi'ar warp engine from Kara, plus my quantum tunneling thruster. Theoretical speed: near-lightspeed."
James nodded. "Go on."
"Energy core: anti-matter reactor, Adam's tech, fused with triple artificial sun tech—my anti-matter solar energy," Tony said. Adam added, "Power output matches a starship, theoretically infinite."
Tony coughed, hiding a grin. "Defense: Uru metal, vibranium composite, anti-matter shield."
"The kicker," Tony's eyes lit up, "is my serum-awakened energy absorption, integrated into an overload release system. It channels reactor energy through my body, amplified by the armor. One punch—"
"Million-ton impact," James finished. "But the recoil would crush normal bones. Good thing your serum-enhanced body can handle it. This armor's for you only."
Tony and Adam froze. "Seriously," Tony said to Adam, "we need a 'no telepaths' sign."
Adam chuckled. "Told you he'd see through it."
Wanda tapped the chestplate. "Demo?"
"Of course!" Tony paused, eyeing James. "Test target?"
James sighed, stepping to the test zone. "No face shots."
Tony's nano-armor formed, silver-blue runes glowing, reactor humming. "Jarvis, record. Anti-Superman Protocol, go!"
Boom! Tony hit near-lightspeed, his energy-charged fist striking James's chest. Bang! The controlled shockwave shattered lab glass, alarms blaring. James stood unmoved, catching the fist.
"Not bad," he said. "Solid power."
Tony's faceplate opened, grinning like a kid. Adam frowned. "Energy's still climbing!"
The armor's core sparked blue, readings spiking. "Damn, anti-matter core's unstable!" Tony was flung back, armor parts scattering.
"Conduction issue!" Tony cursed, oil-smeared.
Adam checked the data. "The core's output overwhelmed the circuits."
James scanned the wreckage, pointing at a connector. "Buffer layer's too thin."
Tony frowned. "Simulations were fine."
"Simulations aren't reality," James said, Reality Gem reshaping the parts, Uru metal flowing like liquid, forming complex channels. "Tony, reroute the sun matrix interface."
An hour later, a new core gleamed, three micro-suns fused with anti-matter. "Done," James said. "Try again."
Tony suited up, the core humming steadily, runes glowing. "Feels alive," he said.
James opened a Mirror Dimension arena, ten kilometers wide. Speed test: Tony broke the sound barrier, leaving afterimages. Defense test: Adam's strike was absorbed by Uru runes. Power test: Tony's fist glowed blue-white. "Anti-Superman Punch!"
Boom! A million-ton shockwave vaporized a vibranium target, cracking space. The armor held, readings stable.
"Success?" Tony gaped.
James nodded. "Anti-Superman Armor, complete."
Cheers erupted. Wanda conjured champagne. Tony circled the armor, ecstatic, then aimed a cannon at James. "Sure you want to try?" James teased.
Tony eyed the vaporized target and James's smirk, lowering the cannon. "Next time."
