"Sam, we need rescue over here."
"Notify the medical team right away."
Steve turned to look at Eddie behind him and immediately said, "Go save them. Now."
At that moment, Venom's voice rang out in Eddie's mind as well. "Buddy, looks like you've gotten yourself into trouble."
Elsewhere.
Stark was currently giving a speech at a university, while also showing the attendees a new technology. The virtual imaging tech had reached the point where it could pass for reality.
In everyone's eyes, they saw a scene of the young Tony Stark, Howard Stark, and Tony's mother together as a family of three.
"This is the scene I wanted."
"Binary retro-framing... architecture."
"Shortened to Binary Reconstruction."
"Looks like I need to change that awful name."
Then Tony continued, "This is an extremely expensive form of therapy. It forcibly makes the hippocampus... clear... traumatic memories."
"It doesn't change the fact that my parents had an accident, and it doesn't change everything I did to ease the grief."
"Nor the six hundred and eleven million dollars spent on this little experiment."
As Tony's words fell, the virtual image began to shut down.
"No sane person would ever fund a project like this. What is MIT's mission?"
"To... generate, disseminate, and preserve knowledge."
"And to work with others to apply that knowledge to meet the world's great challenges."
Looking at the students below, Tony said, "You are the 'others' mentioned here."
"What you face are the world's greatest and least understood challenges."
"Also, none of you have any money."
Hearing this, the students below all laughed.
"Sorry. Had no money."
"Starting now, every student will have equal access to sponsorship from the newly launched September Foundation."
"All of your research projects have been approved and funded."
The next second, thunderous applause rang through
