Technomancer in MCU

Wakanda

–Tony “genius billionaire playboy philanthropist” Stark–

“Damn,” he muttered as he stepped out of the Stark Jet that had landed on the outskirts of what looked like a mountain range which was clearly some sort of hidey-hole since there was a landing party waiting for them at the base of the mountain.

Also, the new generation sensors on the Jet were telling him a different story about the advanced hologram they had on the mountain.

Helping Pepper get off the jet with Banner following her, “Well, they did accept our request, even if they didn’t elaborate on the tour.”

“Uh, Tony, they don’t look too happy to see us,” Banner quietly said as he kept fiddling with the new and improved safety meter they had built for him. It had multiple functions, the prime of which was its ability to quickly get Banner out of the area using a localised blast of unidirectional repulsion force generated by the miniaturised Arc reactor inside the band.

Tony deadpanned at Banner and then charged on ahead to the party waiting for them as if he didn’t hear what Banner said.

He then began waving his hands excitedly like an enthusiastic tourist, “Hello guys! Sorry, we’re late. Although, in our defence, the landing coordinates you gave us were in the middle of nowhere so it did take us a while to land.”

Getting very close to the mean-looking one who was wearing clothes with golden outlines on them, he extended his hands, “Though, now that I can take a closer look, this doesn’t seem to be in the middle of nowhere, now does it? What is behind that hologram?”

The person in the front unfolded his arms and slowly shook his hand. He internally winced at the firm handshake.

“I am N’Jadaka and welcome to Wakanda. Please be aware though that the only reason you are allowed to see what you are about to see is because of your potential use of humanity and personal recommendation from someone high up in the chain. Do know that anything you see from now on is highly confidential and disclosure of any sensitive information will cost you dearly,” The man then grinned wickedly, showing all of his teeth, “I will personally ensure that.”

Tony nodded slowly and then as if a switch had been turned on, he began grinning like a loon and beckoned Pepper and Banner who were getting their luggage off the StarkJet. As they got the last piece of the luggage off the jet, it folded its legs inside and began floating in place, eventually flying into the horizon.

He turned around, expecting looks of awe or marvel on the faces of the guards behind the N’Jadaka fellow but they just looked bored, as if it was a normal sight to see the most advanced jet that any person who is not a secret military head, owned.

“Alright, how are we leaving? Or do I need to call back my Jet because I can totally do that, you know? In case you guys don’t have anything..” Towards the end, his voice turned into a whisper as a veritable fleet appeared right behind the three people.

“This is how we’ll be leaving, Mr.Stark. Now, if you all will follow me, I will show you your living quarters for the entire time you will be here,” N’Jadaka said with a smirk at the shocked looks on their faces.

He quickly schooled his face back into a laid-back one but it would seem that the damage had already been done since the guards behind N’Jakada began chuckling at him.

He then silently followed behind N’Jadaka, Pepper, and Banner following behind him, the luggage floating behind them as it was powered by repulsor technology for easy transportation.

There was a huge boogie in the center which looked like a boat on the outside, only instead of floating in water, it floated slightly above the ground, in air.

Getting inside the boat, he ran his hands over the materials of the shell.To his astonishment, “My god, they were right, you guys do have a metric buttload of Vibranium, don’t you?”

The entirety of the hull was laced with alloys that had Vibranium mixed in with them. The particular alloy that was used for the shell was something that he had read about in the lab database he had access to.

“Bruce, come look at this, doesn’t this look and feel the same as the CXW-135 alloy we saw in the database?” He asked Bruce as he tried to open a link to Jarvis, only for the screen on his watch to flash red as it failed to get a signal from outside.

“You won’t be getting any signal until it is registered with the Digital Bureau. Your AI has been trying to get in with surprising tenacity but while he has very high levels of raw strength behind his attempts and is learning at an alarming rate, it would still take him years to get behind our firewalls. So, wait until you’ve met the King, and then we can see if we can’t get you a secured limited link with your server outside.” N’Jadaka said as he handed him his tablet.

“Attaboy!” he said as he could visibly see the improvement Jarvis was having with his hacking attempts after every failure. 

Still, it was astonishing that even after harnessing the power of the impossible server they had in the basement, Jarvis was unable to hack into their firewalls. After getting the lab in the basement, there were practically no public-facing servers on the planet that Jarvis wouldn't be able to access with little difficulty.

As his fingers demanded, he tried to use the tablet but it seemed frozen on the hacking progress screen that the N’Jadaka fellow had given him.

“Don’t bother,” N’Jadaka said as he snatched the tablet off of Tony’s hands. Then he did something on the tablet and said, “With the power your AI has access to, it would have easily broken through the firewalls we had a short few years ago. It was only after the Invasion of New York that we had a massive cybersecurity upgrade that has allowed the firewalls to stay secure.”

N’Jadaka then exclaimed, “Oh, look! It broke through the first layer. That was faster than I had expected,”

“Let me see,” he said as he all but snatched the tablet out of the man’s hands. This was another screen that showed about 12 more walls that Jarvis had to break through.

“Oh, this is not some sort of crime that we will be charged with later on, right? Because if it is, I can tell him to stop it. He’s probably just worried about our safety, that’s all.” He said as he realised that Jarvis was committing treason by trying to break into a country that has been dubbed the “Most Advanced Country on Earth” by Ed of all people.

He was pretty sure they could retaliate, both in the digital world and in the real world.

He was about to try once more when N’Jadaka began frowning as the Ship’s lights began to take on a greenish-golden accent.

For some reason, N’Jadaka sighed, “What now, Alfred? If you can’t see it, I am in the middle of something.”

Right after he spoke, Alfred appeared in the center of the boat in holographic form. He then raised his hands and said, “Hey, you are not the one who had to calm down a hyperactive anxious budding AI. Good work on the code by the way, Pepper’s Boytoy,”

He didn’t know if he should feel flattered or insulted about that nickname that had stuck in every system that he had ever used that had Alfred’s influence on them.

“Hello, sir, Contact with Sir Alfred has been an extreme learning experience. The StarkJet is now back on its way,” Jarvis’ voice sounded through the speakers of the boat.

His eyes widened when Alfred spoke, “Oh, yeah. The poor guy was about to ram his way inside the shield using the StarkJet. It would have failed by the way but it would have damaged the camouflage function of the shield. You guys should really work on that by the way. N’Jadaka see to it that they are given the correct idea about Wakanda.”

Then, the hologram disappeared and with it, the accent lights returned back to their whitish glow. The ship shuddered slightly but soon regained its course when a voice spoke through the speakers, “Connection established, Lord N’Jadaka. Was it Lord Alfred again?”

Lord? N’Jadaka sighed and replied, “Yes. There has been a change of plans. Drop the escort and take the ship directly to the Royal Palace.”

“Acknowledged. Rerouting Talon,” The voice spoke and while he could see the route being changed on the helpful screens attached on the walls of the boat, he couldn’t feel a single thing.

Although, the same could be said about the StarkJet which does it without fancy Vibranium alloys, so his ship was clearly better.

Soon, the ship landed and the bay doors opened up.

Out of the bay, he could see rows of soldiers on both sides standing in formation. He could feel Bruce get nervous as the prospect of entering a place that placed such strong emphasis on the Military made him jittery.

“Relax, Dr.Banner. I give you my word that no harm will befall you or your companions. If that doesn’t reassure you, remember that Ed has all three of you on his “priority” list and as such you guys are constantly being tracked by them. If, by any chance, something happened to any of you, no shield Wakanda could ever build would be able to stop them from coming crashing down on us. So, please relax and I’ll make sure that you enjoy this experience so much that we will be able to poach you from the outside world,” N’Jadaka said as he gestured to Bruce to go forward and leave the boat.

Bruce, still unsure, nodded and got down from the boat.

“Mr.Stark, after you,” N’Jadaka gestured to him and he visibly rolled his eyes at him and hopped off the boat, Pepper coming behind him.

In front of him, he could see Bruce’s neck on a swivel as he looked from one place to the other.

The same could be said about him as he looked at the huge barrier that surrounded the entirety of their city, the local sensors on his body showing him data that made no sense at all, even after he had been exposed to the crazy shenanigans that Alfred had done.

He could hear Pepper gasp behind him as she took in the beautiful architecture that made the Royal Palace.

None of the Tacky Golden accents but then again, the hints of Vibranium being used in the construction of all places he could see in the palace could have bought entire piles of gold in the outside world.

“Mr.Stark, Dr.Banner and Ms.Potts, welcome to Wakanda,” A regal royal-looking lady greeted them as an entire entourage followed behind her who then took all of their luggage.

“I am Queen Ramonda of Wakanda and I see that you have already met Prince N’Jadaka,” the lady then gestured behind him.

Prince?

He looked wide-eyed at N’Jadaka who smirked and waved at him.

“Oh my god, I am so sorry for Tony’s behaviour. He didn’t know that you were a prince,” Pepper immediately began apologizing profusely to N’Jadaka who waved her off.

Oh, this was going to be fun.
