A Vigilante In Pursuit

[The Vision]

Edwin Jarvis pressed a few keys on the console.

"What an interesting turn of events," he muttered to himself.

The circumstances suggested a power outage, which was frankly impossible. The Avengers Tower was powered by a large-scale arc reactor, which, in the extremely rare event it shorted out, would have detonated if such a power outage were to occur. This was why numerous safeguards were in place to ensure that never happened.

So if the safeguards failed, Mr. Jarvis would be dead. Therefore, it was safe to assume that someone had turned it off. But who?

Ms. Williams was instructed to not enter the arc reactor room, and was given a clear explanation as to why not (the reasons being the ones stated above) and Moon Knight was in the Danger Room. The maidbots might have triggered it, he supposed.

That, or this was the work of an invader.

"An old friend," Mr. Jarvis repeated, and the armor found him. It clicked and whirred as the Iron Butler suit activated, illuminating the room with an eerie blue light. The arc reactor, along with the helmet's facial features, were the only light sources in the dark observation booth.

Automatic doors. Curses. Mr. Jarvis used the suit's enhanced strength to force the doors open, bending the steel in doing so. He would need to make repairs later.

"Ms. Jocasta?"

"Yes?"

"Display Avengers Tower blueprints, if you would."

The upper left corner of the display showed a 3D map of the Tower.

"Now display the locations of all life forms on this map."

Two red dots pulsed near each other on the 14th floor. This would be Moon Knight and Mr. Jarvis himself. He was actually searching for Ms. Williams, who was on the 5th floor. An unexpected red dot appeared near the generator room. Of course. It indeed was an invader. It was time to move.

"Activate night vision."

"Of course."

Mr. Jarvis reached for the vault door sealing the Danger Room. He turned the handle manually, an exhausting effort due to the

"Moon Knight?"

The Silver Avenger's white suit would still be bright in the darkness, allowing Mr. Jarvis to pinpoint his location within the simulation chambers. But Mr. Spector was nowhere to be seen.

"Moon Knight, sir?" Mr. Jarvis repeated.

Moon Knight dropped from the ceiling, landing right in front of the butler. Surprised, Mr. Jarvis drew his weapons, both palm repulsors ready to fire. Moon Knight punched him, then tackled the butler before he could react.

"You're not Stark," Moon Knight accurately noticed, "Who are you?"

Mr. Jarvis disengaged the mask, making it snap up. He glared at the vigilante.

"Oh," Moon Knight sheepishly muttered, "Sorry."

"It's quite fine, sir. At first, many do not realize I am not Master Stark."

He glared at the Silver Avenger, who was helping him to his feet. It was difficult, due to the clunky suit.

"Of course, many do not tackle me on sight."

"We're under attack. You can't blame me."

Mr. Jarvis sighed. "No, I suppose not. There is one more resident of the Tower we need to secure before we proceed."

"You can do what you want," Moon Knight snarled, "I'm taking down whoever dared attack us."

Mr. Jarvis opened his mouth to protest, but sighed.

"Very well," the butler replied, "You, sir, go find the invader. I'll go secure Ms. Williams."

The helmet shut down on him, the visor activating once more to display an optimal flight course. Despite the narrow corridors of Avengers Tower, Mr. Jarvis knew that all of the maidbots were currently deactivated and would not get in his way. He activated his jets and blasted down the hallway.
