10 Si Vis Pacem (Hope for peace)
----------
Incase some notice and are confused I've changed using Sam Lane for Nathaniel Adam, both are Generals but N. Adam has always been more of a Anti-Super while also being the darker of the two.
Will re-update others to fix this soon

New York, Omni-Tech Industries
10:00am
Currently I'm facing one of my toughest challenges yet, a Military hotshot. I have no problem with local enforcements (*cough* lies) or other federal agencies but sometimes 'other' certain government agencies go completely off target on what their supposed to do, protecting their citizens.
*Cough* A.R.G.U.S
Always creating a problem the League has to solve but then still gets treated like a threat, of course this all hasn't happened yet but never the less sitting down in front of me is General Nathaniel Adam. I've read my fair share of comics so I know the brief history of him, but in front of me is flesh and blood so I can't make a mistake and assume their the same person.
"So General Adam what has you coming all the way over here" I ask with my fingers interlocked in front of me.
"Don't give me that Martin, I tried setting up meetings multiple times; but you never came nor answered them so I had to drag myself here!"
"Just tell me what you want, I'm a busy man and I don't like wasting time on pointless matters" I said while shaking my head slowly, 'actually I don't want to deal with you because your a Human- supremacist with a ego'.
Gen. Adam looks at me furiously but if face doesn't change, soon he pulls out a brown folder from his bag with the word [CLASSIFIED] printed on the front. I raise an eyebrow as I look at the folder. "As I'm sure even you know that we are not alone in this universe, here are some of the discoveries our government has made" said Gen. Adam, as he slides the folder to me.
"I'm sure you know revealing any of this information to the public or any other personal will have you taken to a black site" he adds.
As I look into the folder I find profiles on some of the Meta-humans of this world including a certain alien, I honestly find it fascinating they managed to get this much information.
----------
Subject [Superman] - Identity unknown
Age [UNKOWN] - presumably late 20s.
Species [UNKNOWN] - Assumed to be Meta-Human but hair samples collected proven Alien.
Affiliates [Lois Lane] - Unknown if only affiliate, continue research.
Threat [LEVEL 5 or Higher] - No upper limit to abilities revealed.
Abilities [Flight, Super Strength, Super Speed, invulnerability, Heat-vision and Cold breathe]
Weakness [None] - Target is to be left alone till weakness is discovered.
----------
'Wait how did they get hair samples? nevermind what does he want me to do with this information?' As I gaze back at Gen. Adam I still can't understand what he wants, "So what is it that this is supposed to show me? the government likes spying on people 24/7" I said.
"No!" he shouted while slamming his fist on the armrest "That there are forces outside of our control that are a threat to humanity", his face said everything I needed to know. 'Wow so everyone is a threat if their not under your control, not a good thought process', I sigh as I continue to read some of the documents.
"So why come to me?" I asked
Adam straightens himself up "Two reasons, First when you revealed your skills; with your technology we will be able to protect our nation from foreign nations while also dealing with the threats within" said Gen. Adam
"Secondly . . ."
As he continued speaking I wasn't really listening because I know no matter what it's gonna be a pain in the *ss, I might as well choose the good side (don't help psychopaths). I raise my hand to silence him, "Look . . General, I'm not really looking at moving into the weapons business".
"what?" he replied looking at me confused
I slowly shake my head "Though I've had thoughs on building weapons it's not something I really want to do" I lied "I want to help the world not destroy it", Gen. Adam continues to look at me in disbelief.
"I'm asking you to help serve your country for the greater g-"
"No General" I interrupted
Seeing he's still remaining stubborn I sigh, "I don't like how your discriminating people because of their differences General" I said while trying to calm down, "What are you talking about? these . . Freaks, don't deserve rights. Their dangerous" sneered Gen. Adam.
'Hmph these "Freaks" are what protect your world from Invasions idiot'
"I think you should leave, now" I spoke darkly, Gen. Adam looked at me in disbelief before shaking his head "Here I thought you would know what's right" said Gen. Adam "Your still a boy, you don't know how the world really works. But you'll find out . . . One day".
The General stood up before leaving with a dark glint in his eyes, as he gets to the door he stops "I hope you think to reconsider, you might need my help one day" he said slowly. 'F*ck this guy is just begging for me to snipe him' after shaking my thoughts off I quickly went back to work on some of my projects.
'Hopefully that idiot doesn't try anything or I'll kill him'

New York
10.37am
*Calling [LUCIUS F] . . .*
*Beep Beep . . .*
*Beep Beep . . .*
. . . .
*Ah good morning Mr. Martin, how can I help you?*
"Good morning Lucius, I was wondering I would be able to invite you and Mr. Wayne over to Omni-Tech"
*Ah my apologies we will both be unavailable for some time . . . actually I do have a time we are both available if that's alright with you*
"Yea sure what day?"
*Next Friday we should both be available after 2pm*
"I can make it work, I should be able to finish working on what I was going to show you. Your gonna be surprised"
*Well Mr. Martin, Mr. Wayne and I grateful for the invitation*
"Your welcome, good bye"
*And to you*
[END CALL]
----------------
After finishing my call I look up at the 25 foot tall orange behemoth in front of me and start running the diagnostics while also updating the current system, "Come on baby, work for daddy" I said with anticipation while rubbing my hands.
....
[UPLOADING DATA . . . . ]

"Damn it still needs more work but you should at least not blow up this time"
As I begin running the systems a blue light begins to flash in which appears to be an eye in the middle of the orange behemoth, a loud hum starts to fill my lab as the beast awakens.
*SCOR-R-CH SY-SYSTEMS ONLI-LINE*
The blue eye slightly blinks on and off as the orange giant starts to slowly move forward, I stare at awe at the half-complete mecha infront of me. "YESSSS HAHAHA" I laughed out with my success, but I noticed that my titan stopped moving.
'Damn it without the A.I working properly it can't function without a pilot' of course I can still manually control it with my mind but if I'm busy fighting or I'm off world I need it to operate itself, 'Should be able to fix it by the end of the day, hopefully I don't create an 'Ultron' out of nowhere'.
After a quick clean of my lab I deactivate the titan as I look at a modified version of the T-203 Thermite launcher next to it, instead of being a one shot / reload I managed to alter it to be similar to a pump action shotgun. Now it can fire 5 shots before reloading, including the modified ammo with I designed off the ammo for my Tri-zooka I absorbed awhile back.
(A/N - payload comes in two parts first a cryogenic mixture of liquid nitrogen, magnesium and another assortment of mixtures. Next a thermite round behind the previous round, the two compounds mix and the heat generated alone is nearly 3200°c)
'Maybe if I experiment with the mixture I can find a way to make it burn hotter, all well save that for another day hopefully I should have the A.I fixed by tonight'
As I continued to work on my titan's A.I I also partially worked on fixing the other small problems throughout the day, after around 8:00pm I had mostly finished so I decided to leave it and come back tomorrow.

17 January 2014
New York, Airport - Private hanger
2:27pm
'Ah sweet looks like their here' I watch as a private jet that resembles a Boeing BBJ MAX 7 lands on the runway quickly slowing down as it moves towards me, 'I want one'.
Soon two men in expensive suits walk out from the side "Ahh Mr. Wayne, Mr. Fox it's a pleasure to have you here" I said while shaking their hands, "It's fine we are business partners after all" said Bruce with a smile.
"So what is it that you wanted to show us so badly that you had us fly over" asked Lucius.
I grin "You'll find out real soon, shall we?" as I direct us to an Extended Rolls-Royce Phantom, Bruce raises an eyebrow at the vehicle "Custom?" he asks. I just nod as I made my way to the car, immediately after everyone sat inside the Phantom it began to drive.
"Hmm I don't think I saw a driver?" said Lucius concerningly
"Ah no this car doesn't have a driver" I stated, immediately both men look at me in shock 'Haha your faces say it all, though I can't tell if Bruce's reaction is fake'.
"There's gonna be a few surprises today so get ready" I said as we continued on our way to my Building.
