The Unexpected Mishap Before Departure

Alvin stood in the yacht's cockpit, pretending to study a tourist map as he planned their route.

There wasn't even a classic ship's wheel in the cockpit, which left Alvin very disappointed.

His own yacht had been sitting at the dock in Hell's Kitchen, but unfortunately, he still hadn't gotten his "license." So the yacht he'd brought back from the Caribbean had been left there to rust.

Stark had obviously seen what Alvin was thinking. He shot him a scornful look, tapped his wrist, and said, "JARVIS, we're leaving. Head south to Miami!"

At Stark's command, the entire cockpit began to change. The table Alvin had mistaken for a dining table in the middle of the room suddenly lit up, projecting a model of the Earth into the air. It spun continuously.
