6 Beautiful Night
Standing in a crowd full of people I'm looking at the sky only to see something drop down from an airplane.
The something in the sky was Iron Man evading fireworks. He landed safely on the stage and the crowd went wild.
Not all people like Tony, but there is no denying that he has style.
Seeing him appear like this live was even more epic than in the movie.
As my fanboy heart calmed down, I put on the Iron Man helmet that I bought from a souvenir shop. And activated my Sharingan.
Tony's chakra is dim white and it flickers around like it is disturbed by something. Which means that he isn't fine and the plot unfolds the same as in the movie.
Which means that Tony will soon give Pepper the CEO position, meet Vanko and let Black Widow spy on him.
My raven spy heard that Fury planned to have Natasha seduce Stark and become his official lover. But once Pepper becomes CEO things will proceed in the usual way.
I will strike after Natasha joins Pepper. And then I will help Tony a bit with his problem and maybe stay for a bit longer to see Vanko using his suit against Tony and War Machine.
Why do I want to help Tony even if it's a drag and a lot of work? Simple the more Tony is prepared for the coming events the less work is falling on me. Maybe I can guide him to the right place.
I also don't want to use my Sharingan on Tony. This is because I still don't know if the hypnosis has some side effects that can hinder his progress in the long run. I don't think that small mind tricks will do anything bad to a person but long-term hypnosis is a whole different thing.
Right now, Phil is helping me to see if there are any side effects.
Also keeping in touch with the key players should give me the opportunity to prevent some events from occurring.
And maybe, just maybe, I could also use some of Tony's gadgets.
As I was walking home, I saw a 12 year old kid who looked very familiar to me walking out of a souvenir shop with his hot looking aunt.
"I'm sorry, Peter, but this stuff is too expensive and I do not have enough money with me. Next time we come here I promise you that I will buy you the gauntlet or the helmet."
"It's alright Aunt May, I will wait" said the boy with a sad smile on his face
Aunt May looked heartbroken when she heard this.
When I walk past them I glance them in the eyes and then I head for the exit. While May and Peter continued to walk, the happy Peter now holding an Iron Man helmet in his hands...

The next events unfolded similarly to the movie. Tony destroyed a senator on live TV and Pepper became the new CEO of Stark Industries.
Vanko also attacked Tony at the Grand Prix in Monaco. It was really funny to watch Tony struggle against him when you think that he'll be fighting a Titan in the near future.
Where was I when he was attacked?
I was in a hotel in Malibu watching all this unfold on TV while eating popcorn.
As I watched Vanko's lighting whips, something in me awoke. But at this moment I didn't know what it was.
After sending a raven to Tony's home to be on standby, I waited for Tony to fight the future War Machine.
After a few days, my Raven alerted me that something was happening in Tony's mansion. Seeing through the raven's eyes I could see a huge crowd arriving at Tony's mansion to celebrate his birthday.
"It's show time." Standing on the rooftop of the hotel wearing an expensive suit, I transform into a swarm of ravens to fly to the mansion.
When I arrived at the nearby cliff, the fight had already started.
I couldn't see Pepper or Happy which means that Happy brought her to safety already.
What surprised me was a beautiful redhead wearing a fantastic night dress not far away from me. Observing something through binoculars and reporting it on a phone.
Thanks to my eyes I could see her clearly. Even as she watched this situation, her chakra remained calm and pure white.
Too bad I couldn't see her lips because her phone and hand blocked my view.
It was already too late when I focused my chakra on my ears.
"I understand Sir, I will wait till your arrival to talk to him."
And then she hung up.

Natasha's POV:
Sitting in the bushes is not really my style. I would rather sit now in a hot bathtub with a good wine and watch this unfold on a screen. But an order is an order and I have no choice but to sit back and see how this ends.
Normally something like this would be the job for Phil Coulson. However, last time I saw him he looked like he was a bit drunk and he also talked about a long lost brother of him. When Nick Fury saw him, he sent him home to relax for a few days.
"Director Fury will arrive tomorrow. I hope Tony doesn't do anything more stupid and get himself killed." saying this I exhaled loudly.
I thought he would figure out a way to cure his condition on his own. But Instead of doing anything to heal himself, he is sulking and is ready to die.
I hope the director will be able to help him out for a bit
In the next moment, a huge explosion could be heard, but no flames erupted. Instinctively, I lay down on the ground.
I lift my head from the ground and say "What the hell happened? I hope they are still alive or else the director will be pissed."
Standing up, I wanted to go to the mansion to check on them, but a deep and yet pleasant voice stopped me.
"Don't worry he is fine."
Swinging around I could see a man in a black suit standing only a few meters away from me. His face was hidden in the shadows.
What shocked me the most was that I hadn't even noticed him there. For how long was he there?
Pointing somewhere behind me he says "See his friend is flying away completely fine too."
I heard something take off that sounded like Tony's suit. But my gaze never left the strangers.
"Who are you and what are you doing out here?"
The man was quiet for a bit, then he looked up and said.
"This is such a beautiful night. Who wouldn't enjoy getting out for a walk?"
Even without seeing his face I could tell he was lying.
"And then you go for a stroll on the cliff side near Tony Stark's house?"
The stranger chuckled a bit and replied.
"You are right it is not that romantic if you stand on a 30 meter cliff."
Planning my next move I was ready to take him out. My only weapon was a small pistol under my dress strapped to my ankle.
"At first I wanted to see what was going on here. However, a small spider caught my attention."
Saying this the man stepped out of the shadow.
Standing now in front of me I could see him clearly. He had black spiky hair, deep blue eyes and a well-formed body. Looking into his eyes, I was afraid to lose myself in them, but that wasn't the right place or time for that.
"Why don't you wait a bit till I have a brief talk with Tony there and then we can go and have a drink together? I'm sure Nick Fury will turn a blind eye this time. No pun intended."
First I wanted to laugh but then I realized what he had said. Making my eyes go wide.
He chuckled again and walked past me.
Realizing that I couldn't let him go here. I lifted my skirt, grabbed my pistol and tried to point it at him.
Before I could even hold the pistol up, he grabbed my wrist with his left hand. He was so fast that I couldn't even react to it. With his other hand, he pressed the magazine release, then he grabbed the slide and pulled it off the weapon.
This all happened in a matter of seconds and then he slapped the rest right out of my hand.
Before he could step back. I grabbed his wrist this time and used his knee to jump up. I then tried to grab his head with my feet by spinning my body. Director Fury calls it my signature move the deadly crotch-throat grab.
To prevent me from doing this, he just tilted his body to the side, which made me miss him.
The move has a high chance of KOing my opponent, but if I miss, I could crash land on my back or head.
Shutting my eyes, I awaited the pain, but nothing happened.
When I opened my eyes again I wasn't on the ground. But in the strangers arms. Holding me close to his body, like a princess.
He smiled and said "Be careful there, it's really dangerous to do some acrobatics here"
I should still try and defeat him but I couldn't. There was only one thing on my mind.
"Who are you?"
The man smiled warmly and said.
"You can call me David."
Afterwards, his eyes started to glow red. In both eyes, the pupils were still black, but two commas were spinning around them. And then everything went dark.
In the next moment, I sat with Nick Fury and Tony Stark at Randy's Donuts.
