[New York City, New York, Good Morning America Studio]
In the studio that filmed the Good Morning America, or GMA show for short, the programs current host Charles Gibson and Joan Lunden were finishing up their last minute preparations before the show began.
The same with the rest of their colleagues moving all around them.
Until finally it was time for the show to begin.
"Good morning America!" Charles said in a happy voice. A smile on his face. "As always it's nice to be talking to you today. I'm your host, Charles Gibson. And this lovely lady sitting next to me is also your host." He spoke. Gesturing to Joan.
"Joan Lunden. Good morning America." Joan spoke. "So, today we have a very special treat for you all. We're about to introduce a guest we've been trying to get on the show for months who has finally agreed. Who is this guest you ask? Well, he's a young man known the world over. First, as the eldest son of genius inventor and the founder of Stark Industries himself, Howard Stark. Second, as the founder and CEO of Stark Global Solutions. A company that came out of nowhere and has made a monumental splash. Third, for you ladies out there he's one of the most eligible young bachelors currently on the market. Give it up ladies and gentlemen for Gregory Steven Stark!" She said.
Then at the exact moment Joan finished her introduction Gregory walked out into view of the cameras.
Now 21 years old.
Dressed in a pristine all white Louis Vuitton suit, with a golden tie around his neck, he moved with poise and grace.
Along with confidence and purpose.
A smile on his face he performed finger guns at the staff, and live audience.
Until eventually he reached his seat and took it.
The applause after he revealed himself dying down a few minutes later.
"Well, you certainly know how to make an entrance Mr. Stark." Charles said.
"Please Charles, my father is Mr. Stark. You can call me Gregory." Gregory explained. "And yes, I do. After all, making an entrance is hardwired into the Stark DNA. My father and brother can attest to that." He spoke.
Getting a round of laughs from the live audience.
"Well we'll have to take your word on that for now." Joan said. "On that note, let me once again welcome you to Good Morning America."
"Thank you Joan. And once again it's great to be here." Gregory replied. "Now then, let's get this show on the road."
"Took the words right out of my mouth Gregory." Charles said. "Alright then, here's your first question. What's it like being the CEO of a company that made the Fortune 500 list in just a year after it was launched at your age?" He asked.
Because Gregory was doing a live television interview.
For with all the attention Stark Global Solutions has gotten since he launched his company at the beginning of last year Gregory felt it was finally time to begin firmly setting the narrative for himself and his company.
"To be honest Charles it's great. It tells me I'm leading my company in the right direction. But it also puts emphasis on just how much I'm responsible for now. Especially to those apart of my company like the workers." Gregory explained. "I don't want to let them down. Nor do I want to let down those who rely on my companies products."
"And speaking of those products they are quite varied." Joan said. "Tell us, is it difficult dealing with the various business sectors your companies products have gained you access to? Do you ever have trouble dealing with the law enforcement agencies and construction companies you do business with?" She asked.
For Gregory did business with both those business sectors.
In the case of the former he supplied local and federal law enforcement agencies with I.C.E.R.'s. Which thanks to his intellect he was easily able to re-create from Agents of Shield.
At the same time Gregory also re-created the bio-cable Oscorp Industries produced in the Garfield Amazing Spider-Man films.
Since the Oscorp Industries of this reality hadn't created the product yet.
Especially since Richard and Mary Parker weren't even working for Osborn and his company yet.
No, the married couple was in fact at the moment working for S.H.I.E.L.D.
Though Gregory saw the Parker couple hadn't even begun to introduce the world to cross-species genetics yet.
Even so, again thanks to his massive intellect, Gregory was still able to re-create the bio-cable and market it to various construction companies across the globe.
At the same time he has also figured out how to turn the bio-cable into a ballistic vest 250% times more effective than any vest currently on the market.
Which gave Gregory another revenue stream from both military and law enforcement groups across the world.
Who were buying his companies ballistic vests like crack addicts bought drugs.
"Well, any business dealings are always a challenge. But if you respect the other party, and they respect you, then deals can always be reached. Which is the same in my case." Gregory replied. "So to answer your question Joan I never really have trouble with anyone, unless they decide to have trouble with me."
"A good philosophy to live by." Charles spoke.
"Thank you Charles." Gregory replied.
"Alright next question. And I don't mean to offend you Gregory, but there are some out there who say you're not your own man. That your nothing more than a lackey of your father Howard and that he is the real man in charge behind Stark Global Solutions. What do you say to them?"
"I have nothing to say to people like that Charles. Because if they can't even confront me themselves then why should I even use 0.01% of my brain power to worry about them." Gregory spoke. "I'm not hiding. So they shouldn't here. I'm right here and ready. So if they want to have a go we can do so anytime, anywhere." He firmly said.
Gregory sending a harsh gaze directly into the cameras.
Stunning everyone present.
"Well, that's quite the firm outlook you have." Joan said a minute later.
"Thank you, it's one of my special skills." Gregory replied.
Getting another round of laughs from the audience.
After which the questions from Charles and Joan began flowing again.
Gregory answering them easily and succinctly each and every time.
Whether they were about other products being made by his company, which included Medi-Gel, which Gregory reproduced from the Mass Effect games in his previous life, to his companies GS Phone and GS Surface.
Both of which were modeled after the smart phones and smart tablets/computers that were around in his previous life.
Gregory had just decided to introduce them to the world some twenty years earlier.
The same with apps.
Several of which Stark Global Solutions has already produced, including the game Candy Crush.
Gregory loving all the money the games micro-transactions brought.
But he also enjoyed the shift his actions were causing in the world at large.
Like how he had already started the app design wars.
And honestly this was just the beginning.
Eventually the questions Charles and Joan were asking began to wind down.
"Alright Gregory. It looks like our time is almost up. So one last question. Can you give us and the viewers today any clue as to what you're going to do next? What is the next product your company is going to produce that will likely once again revolutionize the world?" Charles spoke.
Once he finished Gregory put a smile on his face and then lifted a finger up to it before winking. "Sorry, Charles, Joan, and everyone else, but in that regard you'll just have to wait and see. Though I promise, you won't be disappointed." Gregory said. "Thank you and good day." He then spoke.
After which Gregory stood up from his seat and began leaving the stage, using finger guns just as he did when he walked on.
Until eventually he was backstage once more.
Where the producer of GMA was awaiting him.
"Thank you once again for appearing today Mr. Stark. Truly." He spoke.
"No problem." Gregory replied. "And thanks you all as well for having me." He said.
Shaking hands with the producer.
He then took his leave and headed down to the parking garage.
Where his limo was waiting for him.
Along with his driver.
Which was Jessica.
Who was dressed in a female chauffeur outfit that showed off her curves in all the right places.
Along with a blonde wig.
That, combined with Athena, is what allowed Jessica to leave I-Island and be out in public.
Even though Hydra was still around.
Despite the fact they had stopped looking for her. Believing her to truly be dead thanks to Gregory and Athena actions a few years ago.
Now as to why Jessica was posing as Gregory chaffuer it was because he had decided to make her his own version of Mercy Graves from DC comics.
A role that fit Jessica perfectly in Gregory opinion.
Heading for the limo Gregory got in, Jessica then jumping in the driver's seat.
"So, how was I?" Gregory asked. Referring to his GMA interview.
"It was good." Jessica replied.
As she started up the car and then pulled out of the GMA lot.
Taking Gregory home so he could prepare to meet the rest of his family in a few days.
It was going to be Christmas after all.
