It had been less than a day since Rox arrived in the Marvel Universe, and already the System was working like magic.
Literally.
Everything went his way. Traffic lights, food, strangers—hell, he even found a crisp $100 bill stuck to his shoe this morning. If this was a dream, he never wanted to wake up.
But now, the real mission began.

"Tony Stark…" Rox muttered, pulling up a digital map that magically synced with his vision. The glowing tracker pointed toward the Midtown Convention Center.
A massive tech expo was happening there. Stark was the star guest.
> "Guess it's time to meet Iron Man before he even becomes Iron Man."

Midtown Expo – 3:00 PM
The hall was packed. Holograms, robotics, military-grade prototypes… all surrounded by camera crews and fans.
Rox strolled in casually—no ticket, no security check. A minor glitch in the scanner let him walk through as the guards got "distracted" by a sudden coffee spill on their shirts.
He didn't need to look for Stark.
The crowd shifted, and like fate itself parted the sea, Tony Stark walked right past him—designer suit, smirk, drink in hand.

> "Chance encounter initiated. Luck status: MAXIMUM."
"Say something—anything. You literally cannot fail."

"Hey, Stark!" Rox called.
Tony paused, glancing back. "Do I know you?"
Rox walked forward with a confident smile. "Not yet. But I know your Jericho missile design has a flaw in the venting system. You might want to check the lateral dispersion pattern."
That caught his attention.
Tony raised an eyebrow, smirk fading slightly. "Really? And who are you, kid?"
"Someone who's very, very lucky to be in the right place at the right time."
Tony stared at him a moment longer, then pulled a card from his pocket.
> "Name's Stark. You just earned five seconds of my curiosity. Let's see if you can stretch it to ten."
He handed Rox a private contact card—Stark Industries R&D division.

Rox smiled as Tony walked away.

The Infinity Stone Detector blinked.

Rox's grin widened.
> "Let's go steal a god's toy."
