As Grey and the others finished saving the city from the alien invasion—and dealing with the government, who tried to nuke them—Iron Man managed to save everyone at the last second. Afterward, they all went to eat shawarma together.

Iron Man who was handcuffed, casually chewed his food and said

[Iron Man]: Come on, we had a good talk over shawarma.

[Akako]: Yeah, yeah, great talk. You know, for someone who just got arrested by 'space police,' you're taking this pretty well.

[Iron Man]: What can I say? I'm adaptable. Also, I have a feeling you guys aren't exactly legit law enforcement.

[Cid]: Hmph, only fools question the authority of the hidden powers that lurk in the darkness.

Everyone turned to stare at Cid, who was dramatically posing with his cape billowing—despite the lack of wind.

[Grey]: Why do I always end up with these people?

Before Iron Man could make another snarky remark, Grey casually slapped him across the face.

[Iron Man]: Ow! What the hell was that for?

[Grey]: You have the right to remain silent.

[Iron Man]: Do I, though?

Ignoring him, Grey pulled out a small, glowing silver orb and held it up.

[Grey]: Now, touch this. We need your fingerprints for identification.

[Iron Man]: Oh yeah, sure, let me just—wait a second. Do you think I'm stupid? If I touch that thing, it's probably gonna zap me, steal my bank info, or—

Before he could finish, Grey forcibly grabbed his hand and pressed it against the orb.

[Iron Man]: ...Well, okay then. No consent is needed, huh?

The orb beeped, scanning his fingerprints before displaying a holographic message:

[Subject Identified: Anthony Edward Stark, Billionaire, Genius, Playboy, Philanthropist, Smartass.]

[Grey]: Why did it add 'smartass' to the profile? No way the system programmed that in...

Before anyone could question it further, the silver orb suddenly glowed brighter—then, in a flash, it phased directly into Tony's body.

[Iron Man]: Wait, what the—?! Did that thing just—?!

Akako and everyone else just smiled and started to make dangerous remarks.

[Akako]: Uh... that wasn't supposed to happen.

[Cid]: Fascinating. Perhaps it deemed him unworthy and chose to assimilate him instead.

[Iron Man]: Assimilate?! Okay, nope. Nope. Take it out. I don't do body horror—get it out of me!

[Grey]: Not my problem.

Without another word, Grey and the rest of her team exchanged glances, then turned toward a shimmering portal that had appeared behind them.

[Iron Man]: Hey—wait! Where are you all going?!

[Grey]: Back to our own worlds. Have fun dealing with that.

[Iron Man]: Wait, hold on—DON'T JUST LEAVE ME HERE LIKE THIS!

As Grey and her group stepped through the portal, the last thing they saw was Iron Man still handcuffed, looking utterly bewildered and furious.

Then, in a blink, they were gone.

[At the chat group]

[Admin][Moon General]: HAHAHA! Did you see his face at the end? Priceless!

[Normal Student of the Academy]: I almost couldn't hold it in. That was too good!

[The Eminence in Shadow]: I must admit... that may have been my greatest bullsht moment yet.

[Cute Sun Queen]: You guys were mean to Anthony. 😡

[Iron Man]: FIRST OF ALL, it's TONY. TONY STARK. Second—F#%& ALL OF YOU! Do you have any idea what you just put me through?! Fury nearly cracked me open like a tin can because of your stunt!

[The Jellyfish of Light and Dark]: Well, to be fair, you did punch a Space Cop.

[Iron Man]: BECAUSE YOU WERE LYING ABOUT BEING SPACE COPS!

[Admin][Moon General]: Eh. Technicalities.

[Iron Man]: I swear, if I ever see you people again, I'm throwing a nuke at you first and asking questions later.

[Cute Sun Queen]: We should apologize. Poor Anthony had a hard day.

[The Eminence in Shadow]: Hard day? He got to meet us. That should be an honor.

[Iron Man]: Honor my a—! You left me handcuffed, got me interrogated by Fury for HOURS, and now SHIELD wants to 'monitor' my activities for 'suspicious intergalactic affiliations'!

[Normal Student of the Academy]: Huh. Sounds like a skill issue.

[Admin][Moon General]: Should've just paid the space littering fines, Tony.

[Iron Man]: There were no fines! YOU MADE THAT UP!

[The Jellyfish of Light and Dark]: Oh, right. That reminds me. We still have your biometric scan. You might get a surprise space parking ticket soon.

[Iron Man]: I swear to god, if I see you people again, I'm blasting first and asking questions never.

[The Eminence in Shadow]: Oh, we'll meet again.

[Iron Man]: ...I hate this.

[Admin] [Moon General]: Alright, fun and chaos aside—welcome to the chat group, Tony Stark. Here, we have seasoned veterans from all sorts of worlds. Get ready for an experience like no other.

[Iron Man]: Great. Just what I needed—interdimensional weirdos with god complexes.

[Normal Student of the Academy]: Oh, you'll fit right in!

[The Eminence in Shadow]: Indeed. A man of science thrown into the unknown… will he rise or will he fall? Kukuku…

[Cute Sun Queen]: Cid, stop trying to be dramatic. Tony, don't worry! Everyone here is nice… mostly!

[Iron Man]: Define 'mostly.'

[Moon General]: Well, let's see… We have a demon king, a blood priest, a battle-crazy lunatic, some Terrorists who blow up things, A talking Jellyfish, and—oh yeah—a guy who just raised an undead alien army.

[Iron Man]: You people are actually insane.

[The Eminence in Shadow]: Not insane. Visionary.

[Iron Man]: Oh yeah? What exactly are you a visionary of?

[The Eminence in Shadow]: Evil lurking in the shadows, waiting for the perfect moment to strike!

[Iron Man]: Oh, so you're a Batman knockoff?

[The Eminence in Shadow]: How dare you…

[Moon General]: Alright, alright, let's not start a war just yet. Anyway, Tony, welcome to the chat group. You'll get used to the madness.

[Iron Man]: I doubt that.

[The Jellyfish of Light and Dark]: Well you@#^@%@#^$^%%$^% HUh... HEL9$% P8hy$%^&%&*

[Moon General]: GREY ARE YOU OK

[[The Jellyfish of Light and Dark] has been forcefully disconnected]

[With Grey]

Grey stood before the massive figure, its golden armor gleaming like a beacon in the chaos around her. The red eyes of the figure burned with an unsettling malice

[Mysterious Figure]: So, you defeated my puppet Thanos. How amusing.

Grey's grip tightened on her weapon, her eyes narrowing as she sized up the figure before her.
