Chapter 15: How to Build an Iron Man Suit Without Blowing Up Your Bedroom (Probably)
Tucker Foley's bedroom looked like RadioShack had exploded inside a Best Buy and then crashed into a conspiracy theorist's garage. Wires snaked across every surface, LED lights blinked like judgmental eyes, and half-assembled gadgets sat in various stages of "almost working." There was a soldering iron older than his gaming console, a drone that occasionally emitted ominous hums, and enough toolkits to start a small robot rebellion.
It was chaos.
It was home.
Tucker dropped his backpack, flopped into his spinny chair (which made a noise like a dying dolphin), and pulled out the folder Danny had given him. He expected... okay, honestly? He expected cool doodles, some Ghostbusters-style schematics, maybe a few instructions like "press button, zap ghost, profit."
What he got was basically a war manual written by a ghost-hunting Tony Stark.
Page after page of detailed guides, neat diagrams, tech theory, battle tactics, and custom gadget blueprints stared back at him. These weren't scribbles from a bored high schooler. These were high-level, military-grade plans disguised as homework. If Danny had told him they'd been found in a secret SHIELD lab, Tucker would've believed it.
His jaw dropped somewhere around page five.
"These are his hard work from, like, a year or two," Tucker muttered, eyes wide. He touched the paper like it might vanish. "And he gave them to me?"
It wasn't just cool. It was personal. It was trust.
And in that moment, Tucker Foley made a decision: he wouldn't let his best friend down.
