Betty listens as she put a hand under her chin..saying..
"A physical alteration that is link with the armor.. But somehow overcharged certain mental areas that controls your anger. The primary structures within the limbic system include the amygdala, hippocampus, thalamus, hypothalamus, basal ganglia, and cingulate gyrus. The amygdala is the emotion center of the brain, while the hippocampus plays an essential role in the formation of new memories about past experiences. Somehow the armor is linked into your amygdala and hippocampus .The black out is a result of controlling the rage? It was putting your vitals through the roof. I am going to have to do more studies and get that Armor to answer some questions as well.."
Barbara touched his arm..
"We know.. you was in a fight with yourself.. Mareena told us ..Alexis was attacking everyone she saw as a threat to you.. When she saw Mareena holding you she thought she was going to hurt you and attacked Mareena straight on.. as Mareena defended herself and was protecting you.. Alexis woke me to defend you .. and then i noticed the real reasons for this attack.. It was not hard when i noticed the armor was gone..I knew what i had to do..Sorry.."
Mareena leans over kissing his forehead..saying..
"Alex, You and Alexis share a very rare gift.. a Twin-link.. That happens to mostly Identical twins.. not fraternal twins..But that is a very gift to know and share with each other.. Like all gifts it does have its draw backs.. I can help you both to work better with your link if you with , Alex?"
The amazing thing was these three woman was calm.. not flipping out and not mad.. they was being very understanding.. This was normal for Mom.. but the other two?

Alex-
He managed a half shrug. " I didn't pay much attention to what Doc said. Simply because it went right over my head. The most I understood was, when the radiation and body alteration was completed, the armor's control system was locked to my personal pattern. Though doc did admit they weren't experts in this field but had enough of an understanding to make this set up work. " He looked to her. " I don't know if the armor can answer questions you have, but you can certainly try. Doc tried to keep everything secret or destroyed when everything went sideways. "
The armor stepped forward, having put itself in a corner out of the way but still within effective range of reaction should it be needed. Alex smiled feeling it's intent as always. He looked to his mother with a smile. " Luckily there were plenty of smart ladies to keep things from going further south. I'm just glad no one was hurt. "
He listened to Mareena's explination on this twin link. It didn't make much sense to him. When she finished he was confused. " If we share this link then why didn't I ever feel her before now? Is it a distance thing or an awareness? Up until hours ago I didn't know I had a sister. I don't think it's the same as with the armor but I would welcome the help because i'm confused on how it works....and why it effected her like it did. "
Of course when he closed his eyes for a few moments to collect himself again, he finally noticed the calmness from the three. That was unsettling. Why weren't they going crazy over this? Mom made a little sense but only a little. He opened his eyes again and looked at all three. " Why do I feel worried about the fact none of you are going crazy over this? "

Betty sighed..
"I'd say the doc was very very secretive.. But he had good reason.. May countries would kill to get the armor or link up skills you have with it.. Which could make you a target.. Wait? "
Barbara's eyes narrowed ..
"Smart Ladies is a understatement .. We are all calm because we are focusing on you and helping Alexis.. But something you just said.. The link was dulled.. That means the link was mixing with the armor..She could feel you but you couldn't feel her..Your armor is locked to your personal pattern..You getting close to her opened it .. more like busted the doors down..both flooded with feelings and new thoughts..Mareena is a telepath.. she can show you both control..But back to the armor..I am betting your doc put in a fail safe if needed.."
Betty sighed..
"We need to see if that armor knows anything to help?"
Mareena smiled..
" sorry about those two.. super spy and super scientist.. They forget to speak normal and not government spy talk..and i am not calm .. I was and am worried about you , Dork.."

Alex-
He looked rather confused by all of this. Link dulled who? It what? He reached up and rubbed his temple as he tried to sort this out. Like he had just said....this was way over his head. " So the armor's link to me forced open this twin link Alexis and I supposedly have but it was blocked because of the process? " He tried to sit up but stopped and lay back down as the room tried to spin when he moved. " Fail safe systems are built in but for security purposes I don't know them. No risk of being able to counter them if captured. "
" Sounds like we'll need all the help we can get. Wait....telepath? Isn't that someone that can read minds like a psychic? " His age was showing. The armor stepped forward and a port in the side of it's helmet opened. An old school computer input port was hidden there. ' Limited access is granted to medical personal only. '
He arched a brow at that then turned back to Mareena. " Yeah I guessed. Probably why my head hurts now. " He tilted his head. " Yes i'm a dork so best get used to it. Calm or not....i'm still glad and a bit worried about it myself. Calm after something like this often meant trouble. "

Betty spoke..
"Alex what it was is your link with your armor was blocking you from feeling Alexis.. But when you and her got close to each other .. The link was so strong you two finally conected is what Barbara is saying.."
Barbara sighed..
"That would be normal for the 70s governmental standards to put Fail safe systems built in for security purposes..Alex is right.. No risk of being able to counter them if captured. "
They listened then heard the wait as Alex caught a clue about Mareena..as Betty spoke..
"Yes , She can. She is a Atlantian.. She can telepathically talk to people and Aquatic life.. As well as breath air and water..Her bio structure is far more built for even diving to the deepest levels in the sea.. And she is hard as hell to hurt and very strong.."
The armor stepped forward and a port in the side of it's helmet opened. An old school computer input port was hidden there. ' Limited access is granted to medical personal only. '
Betty blinked and smiled.. walking over as she looked and had to think on the old style system..as she pointed to the laptop..
"If i hook you up to my Lap top can you download the files i need? "
Mareena softly touched his head and looked at him as he saw the blue eyes become bluer.. and his headache was gone..as she said..
"Here this will help.. Your head hurt because of your link to Alexis.. Her and i had a mental battle and you got the mental backlash through you link with her.. Sorry..I like you being a dork.. It is refreshing..When Alexis and you are stronger and not so tired i will start teaching you two how to use your link and block things through your link..If you wish?"
Barbara sighed..
" If i know Fury.. He is most likely on the phone calling Tony Stark to come look at your Armor and ways of upgrading it..Tony is a major super tech specialist.. But he is also a rich ass and can sometimes not play well with others..Let's hope he will be nice"

Alex-
He rubbed his head again as he tried to absorb what was being said. Thankfully it was said in a way he could understand a bit better. The link to his armor was a powerful one, and he knew it would be thanks to doc constantly talking about what to expect. So the fact it acted as a wall or block to something natural to a biological connection wasn't too far a stretch right? And being together and now aware of each other, the link between him and his sister broke the wall from the armor's link and overloaded her.
That made about as much sense as he could understand about it. The fail safe thing was a given. If the armor allowed or had information then it had priority on what was shown or given. He'd already given his own permission but....the protocols it had could be different. And then he blinked and looked at Mareena. Atlantian? " Wait....am to believe your from the legendary lost continent, kingdom of Atlantis? " The rest of what was said sunk in as well. " You....can swim deeper than anyone can with diving suits or submarines? Unaided? " He had to admit.....that sounded very cool.
He couldn't take his eyes from hers. Such blue eyes....pretty blue eyes. He felt the touch, watched her eyes brighten and felt the dizziness and pain fading from his mind. " Well you'll get more than you can likely handle soon enough i'm sure. " He smiled and managed to sit up finally. " Thanks, it does help and learning what I can would be welcome. This can't happen again..."
The armor remained silent a moment before it's reply came. ' Negative. Limited access only allows viewing. Copying and downloading is not allowed. ' It remained stationary as it took in the conversations. ' Any unauthorized personal attempting to investigate this unit will be met with unknown reactions. Defense protocols are engaged at all times. Limited override available to operator depending on situation. '

Mareena smiled as she nodded and smiled..
"It is all true.. My parents are the rulers. If you like we can go diving together.. But you will have to wear a special suit so the depths do not crush you. " A smirk "Oh will i ? I can tell you are a fast learner.. I am sure you will do find, Alex."
Betty frowned as she took her keypad and started reading and copying down notes for herself that could help her with Alex and the Armor.. With her training it was good that she had a very good skill of recalling information in her head..as she tabs down and reads and took more notes..
Barbara would look at Alexis sleeping and sighs.. As Fury walked back in and looked at Alex..saying..
"Okay , After all the mess has been done. I have called in a expert to check out your armor and maybe bring it up to date with the times.. Because right now if you used it to go into a fight with the Metahumans and mutants out there.. You'd get your ass handed to you and some of them would rip that armor apart right off your body..So it is going to need a upgrade. Fix your link to it and make it better, and update its weapons and skills.. So you better be ready when Stark gets here and tell that thing to behave..Because i checked that quarter sized bomb it caught and from the scans if that bomb would have gone off.. Your armor would be in the trash can right now .. atleast what would have been left.."
Barbara sighed..
"You called Stark? Oh this will be fun.."

Alex-
He gave a light nod and smiled. Taking a swim to see this place would be interesting. He couldn't help but chuckle at the mention of a special suit. Nodding over at his armor he grinned. " It was never really tested but my armor was built to be able to withstand one hundred feet under water. Most that was ever done was twenty for basic leak and motion training. " He looked over at the armor as it responded. So much for that. Hopefully he could over ride the system once he was cleared of danger. Betty seemed to be annoyed at the lack of access. Couldn't blame her though.
The information was sparse in it's details. The mental link between pilot and armor had been done through a radiation bonding with the exposed control core of the armor after the physical training and a special series of shots to alter his body just enough to allow the whole process to work. The link though, was directly tied to his concious and awareness at all times. But if he was in danger or rendered unconcious the armor went into defense and protection modes. Acting on the last thoughts of the pilot unless it's security protocols deemed those actions a danger to a given mission or the safety of itself or the pilot.
He looked over when Fury came back in. He frowned at the liberties that were being taken with the armor and how it was being described. This man wasn't giving the armor enough credit. It may be old to them, but it was formidable enough when both were together. But there also was that point. This new age was filled with much more than he had grown up with, powers that weren't normal. But it was that last bit. The blown into nothing more than trash. That spiked his anger. " a bomb that size was only a theory in my time. But it was anticipated. You think it would have trashed those hands? Then you don't know the first thing about what that armor can do. Doc told me during training, the metal that makes it's hands two metals that compare to it. Something called Vibranium for one and adamantium for another. So don't sell it or me short on being able to survive this new world without giving as good as we get. "
He looked to his mother. " Stark.....as in Howard Stark? "

Fury looked at him saying..
"Iron Man's Armor is made of adamantium and the Hulk rips it apart.. Capt America's shield is Vibranium and adamantium and Thanos busted it like Paper..So Alex.. I am trying to help you be better then them.. I may have used strong works you don't like but I have seen what is out there and you have not.."
Barbara saying..
"Not Howard Stark.. His son Tony Stark..Smarter and way more advanced then his father.."
Mareena blinked as she heard the armor was built to be able to withstand one hundred feet under water. as she then saw Alex react and was not sure if she should tell him Atlantis was like Miles under the sea..The words of Fury got him upset..

Alex-
He shook his head as Fury spoke. " I don't know anyone in that list of names other than Captain America. The words you used weren't the problem. It's how they were said. I may not know what's out there, but don't say something when you don't know what someone else is capable of doing. We never got our chance to show what we could do. The way you spoke reminds me of that arrogant general that thought he had control over the program when all he was in reality was an errand boy. So just be more mindful of how you deliver advice or warnings. "
For the most part this was as tempered a response as he'd ever had when riled up. And his mother would know it. He'd lashed out for far less growing up. His mother's voice caught his attention again and he chuckled. " Howard's son? If he's smarter than his father why are you all relunctant to work with him? Is he that bad? "
With a sigh he shook his head. " Seems I really have a lot to catch up on and almost no time to do it. "

Fury walked over and turned a laptop screen to face Alex..
" I have never been one to guard my words, Alex.. I just know things from that time because i was around then. Bad no.. Arrogent ass that does not play well with others, risk taker, and all around rich pain in the ass.. Yes.. But this will help you understand maybe. These was taken a few years ago."
At this point Alex saw the Hulk and what it could do fighting Iron Man in his armor.. and then saw the fight with Aliens and the all out superhero war with the bad guys..
" I am going to have Mareena be your teacher as well as Betty.. They will be bringing you up to speed.. and your Mother will be bringing your sister up to speed.. But don't rush it.. take it in small bites.. Okay young man?"

Alex-
He watched as the laptop screen was set before him. Seems his point had been missed. Oh well, some people just don't listen. Arrogant, doesn't play well with others, risk taker and rich pain in the ass? That's how Tony Stark was being described? That could go several ways but until he met the man himself he'd hold off.
When the videos began he went into tactical observation out of trained instinct. The link with the armor snapping into full force as it also analyzed what was being seen. The big green one was the Hulk he guessed the other one in the suit of armor must be Iron Man. After that came an all out war with Aliens and super hero's. " It's obvious Iron Man isn't trained to fight. He's a brawler and relies on his armor and luck. Hulk.....he's slow and seems to show low level thought process but amazingly powerful. Still there were a few places a well placed strike could have brought him down. "
He sighed as he nodded. " Not saying you were wrong just saying that you shouldn't make snap judgments when you don't have all the facts. Sis and I both need to be brought up to speed true, but small bites as you put it aren't going to cut it. Our family tends to be big eaters. "

Tony while walking with her and then in the jet as they left to the shield carrier..
"Well you will.. They still have then in the Medical area.. I saw the chambers in the footage off to the side..Rogers went through the samething.. Adjustment will be hard less the kid has a open mind and good teachers..I have took in account that the failsafe could be both.. The coldwars was filled with men afraid of secrets getting out.. And if my dad had any hand in it.. that thing with be jacked full of them.. As far as Iron Maiden and Betty.. you hit the nail on the head.. that kids is more protected them my and shield's systems.. and with two women with skills like them.. A screw up is going to get us hurt..
BW closed the jet as she shook her head and listen to them.. then the jet left and they was on their way...
(Exit to S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier))
Alana smiled as she found herself a seat and strapped in. This was going to be fun, and she couldn't wait to see this tech even though it was so old she could see the cutting edge that it was for the time. She noticed their pilot was none other than Black Widow so she grinned even more at the shaking of the head.
" We'll see. And yes, must be careful around those two. But that does beg the question.....if we upgrade this armor, how do we go about that? From scratch or use one of your's as a base and do heavy rework? "

As the quin jet gets close and the can see the carrier out the front window..
Tony sighed saying..
"I at this time i first most of all want to see the armor.. I really want to avoid having to redo anything..If we can i want to upgrade it and mainly its systems most of all.. Depending what it is made of..I can tell you i am betting if we say redo or rebuild that kid is going to freak.."
BW shook her head as she said..
" Just to let you two egg heads know.. Alex is touch about his armor.. You two talk about rebuilding it or any strip mining it.. ? That kid will do more then freak.. I have been in there.. The armor reacts off his emotions and thoughts..You freak in out you my find yourselves needing body bags... Just a warning.."
In the carrier medical bay..
Nick just nodded as he understood..And yes the kid was right Iron Man was a brawler aka Tony Stark..
Barbara nodded..
"All i need to do is go into the archives and start from the last year Alex and Alexis remember and then let them watch and read history till they are up to date.."
Betty smiled as he looked to Barbara ..
"That would be the best bet for the two..nd ..Oh damnit Nick ! .. You had to show that video.. Now the armor is focus'd on what Alex is doing and Locked me out of the Data I need to work and help Alex with..God you're a asshole.."
Nick looked to her..
"Your point Ms. Ross? My job is to get this boy up to date on what dangers are out there that could endanger him and his sister..He is old enough that Mommy is not going to be holding his hand.. You may be his doctor Ms. Ross But i have the data that is going to keep this boy's ass alive and also keep me from getting my ass kicked when his mother comes after me for letting him get killed..You Ms.Ross and Iron Maiden are the top two most dangerous women on this flying carrier.. I am not stupid.. This boy or his sister get hurt .. I am not wanting to deal with his mom and over protective Second Mother/Doctor.. And don't get me started on how damn dangerous his Nurse/Girlfriend is here.."
Mareena arched a brow looking at him..
Nick looked at Mareena..saying..
"Oh don't look at me like that.. Bullets bounce off you.. I have seen you take a Plasma grenade point blank in the chest and put you threw a wall and you just stood up and said Ow? I have seen you alone grab a sub like your dad and from over 5 miles down .. Push that sub up and out of the water at over 100 mph.. Rip through 12 inch steal like it is paper .. Your skills are up there with Superman and Wonder Woman.. I am sitting in a room with 3 women that can be a triple threat to the world is pushed ..and all 3 of you are linked to Alex and now Alexis.. I am not stupid to the dangers if he is hurt without Me making sure he knows what is out there.."
Nick almost flinched as all 3 women glared at him..

Alex-
He looked around at the sudden barrage of words. He couldn't help but try not to laugh by the end of it all. It was the best way he could handle what all he was hearing, processing. But he gave a sheepish grin and refocused. " Sorry about that Ms. Betty. " He cleared his head a bit and the armor once again returned to a more dormant state to allow her the access to the files again. Even though they didn't shine much light on anything. Not with the current protocol's restricting what could be accessed. He then looked to his mother with a mock look of annoyance. " You know I hate those long night study sessions. "
He looked to Fury with an apologetic grin. " Sorry, but your on the loosing end of that. Take it from experience and stop while you can. "

Alana looked out the front as they approached the carrier. Big thing indeed. Not somewhere she would want to be very often considering some of her escapades, but right now she was safe. Then she arched a brow at what was said about the kid freaking out if they got too carried away with the armor. But it was what Black Widow said that caught her attention the most. " What do you mean by it reacts to his emotions and thoughts? We were sent limited data and visual scans so the more information we have the better. "

On the Carrier ....
Nick sighed and left to the hanger bay to meet up this Stark as over the ship's com he was informed of BW coming in with Stark and his Assistant.. Which made nick arch a brow and leave..
Betty was back to work getting files as she grumbled about Nick..
Barbara arched a brow..
"Stark has a assistant? Since when?"
Mareena was checking vitals as she looked to Alex and smiled before heading over to check Alexis..
===========================================
As the quin jet was coming in to the hanger bay to land..
BW said it again ..
" From what we have seen the Armor and the kid are linked.. It reacts off him.. he can give it commands without talking..what ever mood or what every he is feeling like doing the armor reacts to that.. and he can make it act on its own if he wants..Clear enough why i said watch what you say and do? Now we are landing hold on.."
as the quin jet hovered and slowly landed and cooled down.. The back of the jet opened as Stark and Alana saw Nick standing there with a few men..
"Welcome aboard Mr.Stark..and Ms?"
Tony saying in a smartass tone..
"Her name is Alana , Nick.. she is my assistant.. You don't like it we will just leave.."
Nick sighed..
"Cut the crap Tony.. You know why you're here.."
Tony looked to him taking out a small bag of fruit snacks..
"Yep.. A Boy and his armor that can act off the kids thoughts and emotions that was left out of the report you sent and is the kid of the meanest dang woman in shield.. Anything you want to add Alana?"

Alex-
He watched as Fury left to meet Stark. This was going to be interesting that was for sure. He swung his legs over the side of the bed to be more comfortable and did his best to make it easy for Mareena to do her job. Once she was finished he watched her go check on Alexis. He hoped she would be ok. To have unknowingly lost a sister and then found her all over again was a shock, and the thought of loosing her again wasn't something he wanted to face.
He finally stood, stretching and moving about as his mind switched gears again. He needed to be up and moving and he needed to try and free up some of those protocols if he could. So he took to some of the training lesson's he learned with Doc. Focusing on the armor and himself. On that connection that made them work. He was the one in control now that it was only him and the armor. He held priority commands and that needed to be settled.
Soon enough a few of the locks were opened and full medical files opened up and actually began to download onto Betty's computer.

Alana listened carefully to what was said. The armor reacted to the pilot's thoughts and emotions. Communication without the pilot speaking which meant fully mental communication. But how? It sounded much different but similar to the neural link she was putting together to help operate her own mech's. The two could act apart from each other and it could act freely most likely if it came down to it. A fail safe program or part of it's normal programming. The design was making a bit more sense now as well for the era it had been created in. A one man assault team. Get in, take out a target and defenses then get out.
She needed more data before she could come up with more. But she was growing more excited by the second. She didn't hear the word on they were landing until she felt the jet touch down which pulled her from her own mind. With a grin she unbuckled and stood with her things. Being careful was going to be key, but she needed to get a jump on things too. So as she walked she situated a few things for later. As she and Tony stepped off the ramp they were met by the director of shield. Nick Fury himself, oh joy. She grinned when she went to answer only to have Tony answer for her.
So she just stood for the moment, eager to get moving. Tilting her head at the last bit she thought. " Yeah, why are we not there already? Never mind all the chit chat, I want to see this armor and the pilot. "

Betty blinked and looked to Alex and smiled as the files down loaded.. she walked over kissing his cheek and tasseled his hair like a mother would and sat after back at he computer as she was reviewing the files getting a better understanding on how to help Alex..
Mareena was looking at Alexis's vitals as she said something in atlantian and made a few adjustment as Alexis would be waking slowly .. Mareena looked to her as they seemed to be talking but faintly Alex could feel they was talking telepathically
Barbara was By Alex as she started showing him a few stretches to feel better and smiled..
Nick semi glared at the two as he waved to them to follow him.. They walked through the carrier as after about 20mins was in the medical wing and Tony and Alana saw first hand the armor working with Betty and Alex and his mom .. then saw the twin sister in the tank by Mareena.. as Betty was reading..Nick saying..
"Welcome to Medical bay 1.. Main Doctor in charge , Betty Ross.. In the tank Alexis Jennings ..Nurse Mareena Curry.. My top agent Barbara Jennings and beside her, her son Alex Jennings.. And by Doc. Ross is the Armor. Everyone.. Mr Tony Stark and is Assistant. Alana..."
Tony nodded..
"Okay first off. i am not here to take, steel, or remodel anything.. I am here to check out said armor and Alex's relationship with it.. I know that some of my father's 70's Tech was used. Dad's tech was advanced & handy work is also mixed in this armor's design..I want to make sure Alex and his Armor are safe and do not have any issues that could later bite him in the ass. Technology has come a long way since S.H.I.E.L.D. started with my Dad's help. If i and Alana can help with this we will.. But i am not out to take anything from anyone.. If i can upgrade my dad's or stuff the Armor can use. I will if Alex will give me the green light."
Betty looked to him standing walking over and saying..
"So simple terms your here as a Tech doctor to work with me and make sure they both are healthy and safe.."
Tony nodded ..
"Aha someone speaks english.. I and Alana will share what we find and how to help. And Doc. Ross I loved your work in Gamma Rays on the Biophysical relationships in mutations to the body. Oh and Doc.. I love how you turn into a big red rage monster and kick butt too.."
Betty sighed..
"Umm thanks?"
Barbara looked right at stark as Alana could see the iciness in it..
"Just a heads up Tony.. You put either of my twins endanger.. You know what i will do to you.."
Tony nodded,,
"Over protective Mother noted.. So can we please get started?"
Tony stood with his hands in his pockets looking at everyone waiting for a answer from them or Alex..

Alex-
He blinked a bit when Betty came over, messed with his hair and kissed his cheek like his mother did. He just smiled lightly and kept himself centered and focused. He noticed Mareena talking oddly to his sister as she checked Alexis's vitals. Her native language? And then there was this small fuzziness in his mind coming from both Mareena and Alexis. Familiar but a bit strange. It took a few moments before he figured out it was likely telepathy. It fit the sensation and knowledge he'd read on the subject, which wasn't a lot.
When his mother stepped up he smiled to her and tried the stretches she showed him. They loosened his stiff and sore muscles pretty well and the popping of his neck, shoulders and back helped. He figured with all that was going on, his sister would be waking soon and these two that were here now to see his armor should be showing up as well. He wasn't too worried but he wasn't ready to trust completely.
As if on the mark, Fury returned with two others in tow. A man and a young woman about his age from the looks of it. He recognized Start as his fathers son alright and couldn't help the small half grin that came from it. Tony Stark and his assistant Alana. So far she said nothing but he could see the anticipation of being here to see something. His attention turned as Stark began to speak after the introductions had been given.
" I doubt you'd be able to take or steal that without a fight Mr. Stark. I know most of it's battle programs and the basic preservation one's. Neither allow it or me to be taken without one hell of a fight. And Howard did have his hands in parts of it. But the design of the armor wasn't his. He was brought in to work with the doc's to meld the operating systems together and to stabilize the weapon systems. " He blinked looking at the armor as that information had been deemed classified before. " That's interesting. Seems you being here has unlocked a few things. "
He looked to his mother and chuckled but said nothing. He gave a nod as Betty soon found her computer had been given available information that the armor had. The schedule in which he had been altered with the chemical and radiation treatments, the military training, the armor training, most of the armor's base control schematics that related to the pilot's mental state were also downloaded. It would take her a bit to make sense of it all.
Alex nodded. " Let's see if your better than your father Mr. Stark, if we wait any longer I think your assistant there will blow with excitement. "

Entering the medical bay had her scanning already. Alana's eyes instantly found the armor and a slight adjustment had one of her small gadgets activate as Fury began the introductions around the room. This drew her attention for the moment. Betty Ross she knew as well as Iron Maiden. But Mareena Curry was a surprise. " Curry....as in Atlantis's royal family? " Yeah she knew the name but only in passing research and vid clips. A rather interesting gathering to be sure. She looked over the tank with the other patient, the sister apparently. She chuckled at Tony's reaction to Ms. Ross's over simplified description of what they were there for. Works for her.
But it was the ice cold glare that came from the boy's mother that caught her attention. Yeah there was a reason she was top of the list and feared. And to make that worse, these were her kids and like Tony said....over protective mother. So the warning was meant for both of them and she knew it. Then Alex spoke up. Looking him over lightly she grinned. Good build, good looks and so far very well behaved. His mannerisms were clear enough for the age he came from but also spoke to his upbringing.
The way he spoke was open enough about the armor as he responded to the intro from Tony. Which made her chuckle a bit. And the way he explained the armor's design was strange. This was supposed to be a secret and yet he was openly talking about it? Seems there was a bit of pride hiding in there. The remark and reaction he had after revealing this was entertaining. " Why Tony it seems your old man made sure you had the key to this little treasure chest. " She then grinned and stuck her tongue out at the boy. " Cheeky one aren't you. " She didn't wait after that.
She walked over to the armor and toyed with her wrist computer as she opened her laptop. Her hidden gadget had already done it's work with a deep scan. While the two linked up she began to examine the armor the best way possible. Visual and by touch. " This is well made for it's age of creation. The overall design is large but in a minimal way. Likely for it's defensive abilities and a few offensive abilities. As advanced as it was then, it does need improvements. " She checked the joints and seals. " Hate to say it but....with today's advances the only way this thing is still viable is as it was intended. Hit and run tactics. Try taking on anything more would likely get it destroyed and you along with it. And that's with some modern upgrades without changing the armor completely. "
She went to her laptop and looked through the scans before she tapped into the main computer through Betty's. " Cutting in Ms. Ross, this should also help you understand the armor's connection as well. " She looked at the armor's designs and schematics. " Wow.... Tony this armor was designed as an augmentation system with weapons and a specific purpose. If this thing lost power, it's design makes it easy for the pilot to still operate without being hindered a great deal. "

Betty looked at the schedule in which he had been altered with the chemical and radiation treatments, the military training, the armor training, most of the armor's base control schematics that related to the pilot's mental state were also downloaded. It would take her a bit to make sense of it all. But if she was going to be Alex's doctor she had to put this all together..
Mareena turned and looked at Alana saying..Atlantis's royal family as she nodded to Alana..Alex Alex finds his girlfriend is a Princess of Atlantis..
"Correct.. My father is Arthur Curry his Atlantian name is Orin.. My Mother is Mera..I am second Born.."
Tony listen to the boy as he spoke.. He was not going to argue with the guy as he then heard the things his dad was there for.. He nodded walking towards the armor relaxed watching it and then stopped questioningly at Alex statement.. Seems you being here has unlocked a few things. He looked to alex and then to Alana going over to it and scanning..as he nodded to Alana..Tony then walked over and set his two cased up and set them up as Alex saw the screens that showed data on them and the screens just looked like glass but with all the images on them..Tony hit his own scanning as the images shifted to show the armor's hardware inside and out just the scanning as he took his hands and moved the 3D images..He looked to Alex and smiled calling him over to watch..
" Alex come on over.. Tech lesson 101.. Okay ? First Alana said..Hate to say it but....with today's advances the only way this thing is still viable is as it was intended. Hit and run tactics. Why she said it is here.. She the mixing of the armor's shell.. They did not make it thick enough.. For the 70's the weapons was not like now.. so there is no way they work be able to make the armor strength up to a higher level .. I can add add more armor to it or redo the armored shell.. Its your call.. this is why i am showing you this image.. it shows you the weak points and lets you understand why we are saying what we are..Try taking on anything more would likely get it destroyed and you along with it. That we want to avoid.. And that's with some modern upgrades without changing the armor completely, Alana is saying.."
Betty blinked seeing what Alana sent her and nodded..Tony had Images up the was like Alana's so Alex was not left out of the loop..as he said..
" I am seeing on my screen.. Alex look here.. this armor was designed as an augmentation system with weapons and a specific purpose like Alana just said.. See here is how it links in with you.. Really ? I see it's design does make it easy for the pilot to still operate without being hindered a great deal. Very good.. And Look here at the way my Dad set up the system..Dad was smart but here is the down side.. If you ..Like decided to use this armor to go swimming with Ms. Atlantis over there..Once you hit the one mile mark under water you would be crushed like a tin can from the presser and a total systems failure.. Now before you think we are craping on your armor i want you to see this.."
As tony pulled up the upgrades so far from the scans and the things added to improve the armor and its durability without changing the armors look.. He would put the upgraded image beside the Old image.. as his mother walked over beside him as well looking the scene over as well..as tony said..
"This is just from the scans and upgrades so far..Alana and I will walk you through this step by step and have you hands on helping.."

Alex-
This was much more than he was expecting. But he walked over, curious to what was going on. Alana and Tony talking in terms he barely understood. He knew the basics of what the armor could do and some of it's limitations. In theory since they never got a chance to go into the field. " Yeah don't worry about hurting my feelings. Fury already gave me the warning about what today's damage levels are compared to when this was meant for. And thanks for trying to keep me in the loop. I barely understand the tech side of things but operating it was my strong point. That was before it ever received power mind you. Felt like walking at the bottom of a swimming pool before the final systems went in for power. "
He looked at Alana with that remark of ' Cheeky one ' and simply grinned. He could be from time to time. " From what doc told me during the building and testing, the armor if ever caught in the open could withstand.....three missle hits. The ones fired from tanks and fighter jets. And as far as water went, we never got to fully test it's limits but we knew it could at least handle two hundred no problem. " He watched as the scans moved with the motions of Tony's hands. He was still surprised at the fact the armor was now opening up information that wasn't accessable even to him now that Tony was here. Alana may have been right, Howard left a way in just in case. " Doc told me this program and armor was meant for ambush, scouting and solo strike missions. As well as possible P.O.W search and rescue operations. Basically when the military couldn't go in force for one reason or another.....send me in. That was the intent. "
Basic upgrades that were shown seemed good, but he still worried they wouldn't be enough. This was a whole new level of strength, power, crazy and weird all in one. Feeling his mother next to him he absently leaned against her for comfort. Something he had done a lot of as a kid when nervous or worried about something. Seeing the two images, one of the armor as is, and the other with it's enhancements only confused him. Mainly because he didn't understand them beyond the point of some were fixing a few issues and weak points. " These....improvements your talking about look like band-aid fixes. Are they enough to contend with what's out there now? "

Barabara softly rubbed his back as he leaned on her to let him know she was there for him.. Knowing this confused her son barbara started dumbing it down from geek talk to normal human talk for his as she translated it to her son..
Tony blinked looking at Barbara as she translated it all alittle shocked she understood all this..
"Well Nicky over there said if we took your armor apart and made it better .. you would get pissed..All data this armor has i can put in the new armor and even upgrade your links and help you and your armor work 100% as one and not at the 65% your at now.."
Barbara sighed..
"Any changes is up to Alex..But i will translate your tech speech for my son.."
Tony looked to Alana..
"Your 2 Cents here?"

Alana smiled nodding to herself. Royalty. Well seems the kid had a handful with her. She focused on what she was seeing in the schematics and data of the armor. Working with Tony's system, upgrades began to be put into place. Upgrading the seals, additional waterproofing, upgrading the jump jets for more stable and sustained usage. The outer armor itself would get some attention to help withstand greater damage threats to some degree. The systems would get new upgrades as well. But.....she already knew it wouldn't be long before it would fail.
The armor was just....out dated. She was digging deeper to try and find a way to save this amazing work as best as she could. In doing so she found something. " That's something. Tony...this armor is powered by perpetual motion devices. Two in the chest, one in each arm and one in each leg. I thought this wasn't a viable power source back then? " Then she stumbled on the control system for the main feature of the armor and what linked it to the armor and Alex. She opened the files and began looking them over slowly. " Tony.....Ms Ross....you might want to look at this. " She sent the plans and data to the 3d imaging, over riding what Tony had up currently. This needed to be explored by more than just her computer.
" My two cents? We build a whole new armor. One that will be the new home for this.....the primary system that makes this armor what it is. Sad to say but any upgrades we make would only last so long. But this....this here is both the problem as well as the heart of the armor design. " She watched the shell be stripped down to the main control system. The arms and the metal storage lines, the computer system that controlled the armor's weapons and the link to it's pilot. She reached up and first showed off it's weapons. " This metal isn't known in any database. But even I know that we have two metals that can stand up to it quality wise. Vibranium and Adamantium. Those two are the only metals that this equals. It's kept in a near static fluid and solid state. Controlled my the mind of the pilot and the armor. " She moved to the main ' brain ' of the system.
" This....worries me. I'm not a doctor but even I can see the problem here. " She pulled the outer layer of the computer apart, revealing the internals. " These four points, are the points in which connect the pilot and the armor. They are saturated with a radiation signature and chemical signature I don't understand or recognize from any known setting. But it's what made this whole thing work.....and it's degrading like a battery that needs to be charged. "

Tony blinked and looked at the 3D image again..
"What? Powered by perpetual motion devices. There are two in the chest, one in each arm and one in each leg. Your thought is very right..They was a very unstable viable power source back then.. Son of a.. Look here.. If ANY of these short out with this link it could fry this kids brain.... Betty?"
Betty walked over as she looked and blinked tracing the lines with her finger and blinked because she is a ex-Agent as well.. she pulled Alex over to her alittle..
"Alex, Look here.. These are the power sources.. now trace the line.. look here.. they all link to your link with the armor as well..I am sorry , sweety.. They are right..This link here goes right into your head as well.. As your doctor . this worries me for your safety.."
As Barbara again gave Alex the details in the terms more of Alex's time of understanding..
Tony would nod and looked to Alex..
"I am sorry Alex.. We are going to have to rebuild this armor totally.. BUT like Alana said and i will say..We build a whole new armor. One that will be the new home for the primary system that makes this armor what it is. Making the New Armor out of Vibranium and Adamantium. I agree with Alana..It's kept in a near static fluid and solid state. Controlled by the mind of the pilot and the armor. "
Betty looked at the system and blinked
" These four points, are the points in which connect the pilot and the armor. They are saturated with a radiation signature and chemical signature I do understand and recognize. It is what made this whole thing work systems. They are degrading like a battery as you put it in basic form.. That needs to be charged No.. This whole system needs to be rebuild because if they are not ? Alex runs the risk of killing himself if any of these points are broken.. "
Barbara looked to Alex as she had been translating anything he did not understand as she also scanned and double checked everything the two was saying..
"My question is this.. If you two ungrade the systems and upgrade his weapons BUT keep all the Armor's programing and data to be transferred.. ?"
Tony looked to Alex..
"Alana and i will make sure ALL the armor's data is going to stay.. the only thing changing is the shell and the wiring systems to allow the armor to be safer and more powerful in doing its job.. Upgrading his weapon to be better and still look the same as well and if you wish.. We can add Lasers weapons and upgrade your scanning to out do your mother's bionics..I will teach you step by step and we will explain every detail as we go and have your mother there to translate anything we say that you do not understand..But the last call is up to you ,Alex.. If you want we will show you a 3D image of everything we are doing before we start..And make changes on things you wish too.."

Alex-
He couldn't keep most of this straight tech wise. But thanks to his mother giving him the basics he managed to understand it. Seeing the armor pulled apart like this was amazing. Finding out how it worked would help him in a few areas. He had prepared himself for the worst already, but hearing it said still felt like a punch to the stomach. But hearing that a new shell to house the main system made it easier.
There was plenty to think about. He needed to work on some things but to make that choice...he just needed to think. To make heads or tails out of all this. Being kept in the loop on what would be the new build was going to be a given but....how to keep his promise to the doc was the problem.
Meanwhile the data came in thank's to the appearance of Tony and the digging from Alana. Betty would get an alert from her computer as medical information marked as priority was found and pulled up while the others were looking over the brain of the control and link system. What she'd find wouldn't be very promising. The degredation of the link system was built in. A fail safe system that could kill. But according to the schematics, it was never meant to degrade or be this deadly.

As the others talked Betty would get an alert from her computer as medical information marked as priority was found and pulled up while the others were looking over the brain of the control and link system. What she'd find wouldn't be very promising. The degredation of the link system was built in. A fail safe system that could kill. But according to the schematics, it was never meant to degrade or be this deadly.
"What the hell?! "
Her eyes turned yellow as she growled..
"Oh if that man was still alive i'd jack slap is ass.. What did you use to do this? "
Betty was pulling up on her computer and checking everything.. Her eyes moved and she was not missing a single work as she was scanning to see how to fix this without hurting Alex..Her shoes started to rip and her skin had a red tint..
Mareena blinked as she looked..
"ALEX.. IT's BETTY.. "

Alex-
He rubbed his eyes and took a deep breath to clear his mind. " Before I make a choice one way or the other....I'd like the two of you to really get a sense for the armor. These fancy scans do well showing it's internals and purpose, but it only goes so far. " He gave a simple thought process to the armor.
The armor would open for the two to explore.
When he heard Mareena he looked over to Betty and walked over to her, putting a hand on her shoulder. He looked at what she was upset about and though again it was a little over his head, he did know what it was. " Don't blame doc for this. He knew it was there but couldn't do anything about it. This was the general's work. He made the claim it would be a means of controlling the soldier, the weapon and have a fail safe that would destroy both if captured. "
