"Protect the researchers and evacuate immediately!" Agent Cooper yelled, his voice filled with urgency and after ordering the subordinates to protect the people in the room, he and the man in the suit went outside to support Team Alpha.
As the team scrambled to regroup and defend themselves, Agent Cooper couldn't help but wonder if this mission, like so many others, was doomed to failure.
John, who had been silently watching all of this, suddenly made a grabbing motion towards the air. He had found a window of opportunity in the sudden chaos.
Using both fists, he attempted to grab the intangible air. Once he felt something in his fists, he quickly pulled them downward.
As he did so, the people in the room were lifted into the air and then forcefully dropped towards the ground.
'If it were Whitebeard, he would have turned the whole mansion upside down,' John thought. He quickly grabbed the serum on the circular device because he knew that the liquid in the tube was very important to the other party.
Just as he grabbed the serum, suddenly some system prompts appeared in front of his eyes.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Name: Advanced Super Soldier Serum
Functions:
•Increase Physical Strength
•Increase Regeneration
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
'What the hell?' he exclaimed, shocked by the prompts. However, he didn't have much time to think as the four agents began to rise, reaching for their guns.
John focused his concentration and summoned a bubble that enveloped his fist. With a swift punch, cracks appeared in the air, resembling the sound of shattered glass.
The impact sent the fallen soldiers and researchers crashing into the wall.
Before he could strike again, the door of the room swung open, revealing a man in a red suit.
'Iron Man?' John stared at the famous genius and playboy of the Marvel Universe, who was also staring back at him.
"Easy," Tony cautiously approached, his helmet deactivated. "It's me, John," he reassured.
"Tony?" John feigned surprise. "Wait a minute, are you the one in the red suit who was causing trouble a few days ago?"
"Technically, I was solving the trouble," Tony corrected.
The plot of the Iron Man movie, in which Tony reveals his identity, was about to end when John was transmigrated to this world. The fight between Iron Man and Obadiah Stane had happened on the roads of Manhattan a few days ago.
Additionally, John's parents were quite close to this billionaire. John had met Tony on multiple occasions and had even visited his Stark Tower.
John sighed. "Thank you for saving me, though."
"Looking at the situation, I don't think you needed my help at all," Tony said, looking at the researchers and soldiers that lay wasted in the room.
"How did you know that I was kidnapped by these people?" John asked.
"I had no clue that you had been kidnapped. There is a signal planted on the circular device behind you that will be activated once the device is activated. Your parents gave it to me as a safety precaution. After their deaths, the signal suddenly started flaring, which made me suspicious. So, I tracked the signal and came here," Tony explained.
John was stunned and thought, 'Did the previous John's parents prepare this Serum? Have I been transported into an alternate universe in the MCU? In the Marvel Universe, there were no people like Ross or Rachel who created the Super Soldier Serum.'
Tony approached John, trying to assess the situation. "So, can you tell me why you were about to punch that wall? And what is happening here?" Tony asked, hinting at how John was able to defeat all these people and the cracked wall.
"No idea, I don't know how I was able to summon such great strength and defeat them all," John lied.
Tony looked at John suspiciously but suddenly his eyes glowed with understanding.
He then focused on the serum in John's hands.
"Who's that?" John suddenly said while looking at the door.
"Where?" Tony was stunned as Jarvis didn't alert him and immediately turned towards the door.
After seizing the window of opportunity, John immediately chugged down the blue liquid present in the tube without any hesitation.
Even though he had inherited Whitebeard's abilities and would undoubtedly become extremely powerful after training, why miss out on such a good opportunity? Additionally, the serum possessed another ability that John lacked - increased regeneration. John had no idea how powerful this regeneration would be, but he hoped for the best and drank it.
"Is there no one here?" Tony was confused and turned to look at John, and his heart froze.
"No, don't!" Tony screamed when he realized that John had consumed the serum to the last drop.
However, his shouting couldn't deter John, who was determined not to hand over the serum to anyone.
As he finished drinking it, John felt his entire body burning, as if he were being dipped in a pool of hot lava. His eyes blurred from the pain and he collapsed onto the floor.
"John," Tony picked him up and positioned his back against the wall, helping him to sit up straight.
"Focus," He said while holding John's face in his hands. "You can't fall unconscious. If you do, you may die. Look at me. John, LOOK AT ME," Tony tried to keep John awake.
John understood that he had been a little hasty in drinking the serum. But he had no other options, as once SHIELD knew about this, they would definitely take it away from him and he was not strong enough to make an enemy out of SHIELD yet.
