Build Equipment
-Energy Shield Gauntlets
The shield came alive in a brilliant blue glow.
Compared to the spree of upgrades you did last month one little shield took no time at all.
Still, you thought as you admired the distorted reflection you could make out through the energy field tough enough to stop bullets.
Building something new always put a smile on your face.
Rewards: Equipment Built. Vanguard Armour Updated.
Train (Tech)
Roll Needed: 30
Rolled: 68
Four little drones floated around you.
For weeks you had been trying to break though your power enforced limitations. You had done it before, so you knew it was possible.
After the Chitauri Robbers the barrier had weakened significantly, enough for you to finally push through.
Slowly, hesitantly, loose materials and wires came together as power blazed off you. You squeezed your eyes shut and grunted as a terrific white flash erupted from you.
The barrier broke.
When you opened your eyes, you smiled. Because around you there wasn't four drones.
There were five.
Rewards: Item limit increased to 6 (1 permanent, 5 temporary).
Salvage Battle Zones
Roll Needed: 50/75/95
Rolled: 94 (+10) = 104 Crit!
Forget what you found a few months ago, this was the real goldmine!
The crews were packing up, almost all the salvage had been cleared away. This was your last chance top find something and boy did you.
On a hunch, you followed your old path. While you had spent almost the entire Invasion in the air after you'd built the flight pack for the first time, before that you'd been on the ground. Ambushing Chitauri in buildings – some of which still hadn't been cleared.
You had to lift away a couple of medium sized boulders but inside you found something that made it well worth it. Among the broken remains of a dozen Chituari, you found something impossible.
An intact Chitauri Corpse. One that by some miracle hadn't been affected by the shutdown that hit all their other tech. Pulling its armour apart, you were able to salvage the cybernetic implants that ran through its entire body. And while you were hesitant to implant it into your own, you could always install it into your armour and get something just as good.
You had also harvested all the other corpses around you, just for good measure. And while they contained nothing spectacular, the quantity of materials you found was a quality of its own.
Rewards: 16 Chitauri Materials, 6 Chitauri Crystals, Chitauri Cybernetics Suite (Can be used as an armour upgrade to drastically boost reflexes and armour speed) added to inventory.
Hang out – Tony
Roll Needed: 20
Rolled: 54
You inspected a red and off-gold arm in the light. A self-contained pod. An evolution of the lesson the Melter had taught.
You chuckled. Tony really was a genius. You could do something similar, but you cheated. With your power you could bring your armour to you from anywhere across the city. But that was your limit. If you tried past that then your armour wouldn't exist anymore. But this, Tony could call this from across the world. As long as there was one of his satellites up in the air that it could bounce a signal off.
"What do you think?" Tony asked as he closed the panel on the chest piece.
"I think…" you set the arm down on the workbench. "You need to work on the colour scheme."
You tilted your head and the wadded paper zipped past your ear. "Now that isn't very nice."
"You're a funny guy Jack," Tony said. "Now how about some actual insight?"
You shrugged. "Okay." You blasted the arm and it went flying. "Hmmm, durability's good." The arm floated back over. "Now about the weapons…" It came apart with a gesture. You tapped the repulsor and it glowed a comforting light. "Repulsor works, as for everything else," you activated the micro missile launcher and the gear shifted an inch before locking in place. "… it doesn't." Another gesture bought it back together.
Tony shrugged, unconcerned. "Its just the prototype. I'll get the secondary systems online after the I test out the implants when I get to my house." He gestured for you to pass the glove over.
"Your funeral." You tossed the glove over.
Catching it with his armoured hand, he set it down and took it apart the boring way. "Though speaking of my house, you made a decision yet?"
You hummed. "Not sure yet. I'll let you know before you leave though."
"No hurry, you've got till tomorrow."
Only a day left? Damn, the months had gone by quick. Though that reminded you, you should shoot Skye a text at some point.
"I'll let you know." You repeated. "Ah, you know what, I should probably start packing."
You moved to leave, slipping past a quiet Tony until a hand on your shoulder stopped you in place.
"It's been good having you around Traveller," Tony said, calling you by your alter-ego for the first time since the Invasion. "I'm glad you stepped up during the Battle of New York to help fix our mistake. I'm glad you stuck around after. So, I just want you to know that if you ever need help, I'll be there." He held his hand out.
You took it. "Thanks Tony. Right back at you."
You could've gone anywhere after the Invasion. You could've seen the world with whole new eyes. And while you will at some point (after almost five years, it's in your blood) you don't regret staying here these past few months.
You chuckled. "Iron Man and the Traveller. I'd like to see anyone take either of us on our best day."
He laughed along and looked at his watch. "Shit, look at the time. You wanna suit up and go grab some pizza?"
Your stomach grumbled. "Hell yes." You could pack tomorrow morning. Right now, you were going to go out with the genius, billionaire, playboy, philanthropist that somehow ended up as your friend. "Actual pizza though, not that New York style slice you're all obsessed with. I'm starving." You could eat an entire pizza by yourself.
Tony rolled his eyes. "Philistine."

Stark Tower 6

Your suitcase (you actually had enough clothes to have a suitcase) closed with a snap. Your old backpack already slung across your back. A second suitcase, containing your armour rested against the wall. A third, next to the second, containing all the Chitauri parts you could squeeze in – plus Tony's going away present.
You looked around at the room and to the view outside. It had been a good few months here, but it was time to move on.
You had already talked to Skye and Tony. Skye headed back to Los Angeles this morning. Tony was leaving in an hour. Whether or not you were going with him… well, you'd decide that when you got to the lobby.
You needed to go to the memorial one last time to pay your respects and then, you were gone. You grabbed a briefcase in one hand. The other two floated behind you.
You stepped over the room's threshold. It's been fun Stark Tower, though apparently it was the Avengers Tower now. See you around.
You turned off the lights.
So… where is your next journey?
[] Iron Man 3: Tony has some new tech he wants to test out and he's invited you to Malibu to help him out. Go with him, why not? It'll be a good place to relax for a few days while you plan where to go next. (Major Rewards: Extremis Serum)
[] Travel – Kamar-Taj: Magic. Every time you've heard that word over the last few years its been spoken by frauds trying to con gullible tourists. But after what you've seen, what you've experienced, you're curious enough to go and find just how deep this rabbit hole goes. (Major Rewards: Magic Path Unlocked)
[] Travel – Random: Fight aliens, walk among ancient ruins, see worlds beyond the stars. Experience an undiscovered part of this whole brand-new world. Pull on a random Marvel Plot thread (choose in a separate poll) (All threads will be based on the comics and modified to fit within the MCU setting.) (Major Rewards: ????)
Hopefully I can bring plot threads like this to life in a decent MCU fashion.
This is a pretty important vote so unless the voting trend is overwhelmingly one way (say 70%+) I'll be leaving this one up for two days instead of one.
2 Hour Moratorium as usual.
I'll be checking the thread, feel free to discuss.

Well...I'd say the Choice is obvious.

So, I think we should do Iron man 3.
Magic would be nice, but we still have a lot of improvement possible with our tech. I would say probably do magic as our second major arc

Agreed. Let's get Extremis and strengthen our Bond with Tony while we're at it.

I say magic. It sounds very enticing.
Also, I feel iffy on how magic will interact with nanobiology later on.

Yes. And we can still do that AFTER Iron Man 3. The Magic ain't gonna go away. The Chance to get Extremis however very well might, considering how the Movie ended in Canon.

@K1ng is the magic system gonna be like canon marvel-verse? Universal and Dimensional Magic?
I see Extremis as the logical choice. I would rather have one path at an advance level before the quest starts throwing villains at us.
I do not wish to put each of our foot in a different boat and gradually end up drowning.
Kamar-Taj is a place that can be visited at any time, but Extremis is not something that can be revisited in the future.

Not for you. Your power is unique, you'll be able to do stuff no one else can. But at the cost of not being able to do what they can. To find out the specifics of why you need to select the Magic path.
