Stark Infinity

J.A.R.V.I.S.'s voice echoed through the room, calm but insistent. "Sir, there has been a disturbance among the mutants. Chaos has erupted. Anna is exhibiting signs of extreme distress, and the other mutants are unable to contain her. Immediate intervention is required."

Tony shot to his feet. Anna, the mutant with a volatile set of powers, was one of the strongest among them. If she was losing control, things could go sideways fast.

"Prepare my suit. I'm heading out."

"Suit is ready, sir."

With a swift motion, Tony donned his latest armor, the sleek design melding perfectly with his body.

His newly enhanced senses flared to life as the armor powered on, and he rocketed out of the base, his mind set on one thing: getting to the mutants before the situation became uncontrollable.

The Mutant Base – Minutes Later

The base loomed in the distance, but Tony could already see the damage from the sky.

Smoke billowed upward, and faint flashes of energy crackled in the air. He landed with a heavy thud, his feet crunching into the scorched ground as his HUD flickered to life.

"J.A.R.V.I.S., status report."

"Anna is experiencing extreme levels of pain. Her powers have gone into overload, and the other mutants are struggling to restrain her. I estimate the situation will escalate beyond control within minutes."

Tony's eyes swept over the scene. The mutants were scattered, their usually controlled environment now a battlefield.

Anna stood at the center, her eyes wild with pain, energy crackling off her in uncontrolled bursts.

Nearby, the mutants attempted to subdue her, but they were clearly outmatched.

"Stand down!" Tony shouted, moving toward the center of the chaos. "I'll handle this."

Anna's head snapped toward him, her body trembling. "Tony...I can't...I can't stop it!" she cried, her voice thick with anguish.

Tony approached cautiously, his armor's systems analyzing the situation.

The energy readings coming off her were dangerously high, spiking beyond anything he had seen from her before.

"You've got to calm down," Tony said, his voice steady despite the chaos. "We'll figure this out. But you need to let me help."

"I... I can't control it!" Anna screamed, her hands clutching at her head as another burst of energy tore through the air, sending nearby debris flying.

Tony raised his gauntlets, ready to contain the next outburst, but he knew brute force wouldn't solve this. He had to stabilize her—fast.

"J.A.R.V.I.S., give me a solution."

"Her neural activity suggests the pain is overloading her synapses. A targeted dampener could reduce the overload."

Tony's mind worked fast, already calculating the adjustments. "Deploying now," he muttered, activating the neural dampener from his suit. A pulse of energy shot out from his gauntlet, aimed directly at Anna.

The effect was immediate. The wild energy bursts began to subside, the crackling around Anna's body dimming. She stumbled forward, collapsing into Tony's arms, her breathing ragged but steady.

"I... I couldn't stop it," she whispered, tears streaking down her face.

Tony held her steady. "It's okay. You're going to be fine. Just hang in there."
