Chapter 194. The Fangs of Oscorp: All Sides Stunned
----
Tony stood before FRIDAY’s holographic projection, silent, arms folded. On the glowing map of New York, red Hydra, and Malick-affiliated strongholds blinked out one after another in rapid succession.
He muttered, "So... this is what Oscorp’s capable of."
To do something similar, he’d have to deploy every Iron Legion unit he had.
Peter leaned in, wide-eyed. "Weren’t those our targets? You know the ones from the meeting we just finished?"
Tony gave a dry chuckle. "Oscorp’s not waiting around for permission."
Peter scowled at the screen. "So... what are we even supposed to do?"
"There’s more than just New York," Tony replied, shaking himself from distraction. "Malick has roots nationwide, and Hydra’s still festering beneath the surface. This was just one front."
Rhodey frowned. "They’re hitting hard and fast. In broad daylight. Oscorp’s not worried about exposure?"
Tony shrugged. "Who’s going to stop them?"
That, more than anything, was what disturbed him. Oscorp wasn’t just a rising corporate power anymore. It was behaving like a sovereign military force like Charles Xavier’s school, but weaponized and far more aggressive.
