Mount Vernon,

"So you became a superhero?" Hector talked with the pretty lady in her battle suit. He loved it but also hated it because it revealed too much leg, and it was hard to keep looking at her face.

Diana chuckled and noticed clearly what was happening. She, in fact, loved teasing him and sat cross-legged, "Well, I was doing nothing, so I decided to do what I am good at,"

"Bow woof?" Moony walked into the office and ran to Diana to put his head on her lap and receive some kisses and pats.

"Aww... I missed you. You should come with me next time I go to work." She fawned over the soft boy, who melted in her arms. He didn't waste a moment and nodded.

She glanced at Hector, "You should come as well. I need someone to translate what Moony says,"

"Sure, I will join," he blurted almost instantly and silently regretted it later.

"Great, so where should we go first?" she inquired.

He stood up and walked to the wall with a map of the world. He picked the magnetic dart and put it on China's Hunan province, "Here. We are going to decimate an ancient terrorist organisation whose boss is using ten artefacts called Ten Rings."

"Rings as in finger rings?" She asked back.

"I don't know that bit. It could be anything, finger, arm, neck or something like that. Anyway, we are going to raid their headquarters in China and kill their boss. They are behind many wars around the world currently. Go get your supplies; we will leave in two days. I need to interrogate another guy until then,"

"Got it, mister president," Diana comically saluted him with a broad, teasing smile.

Hector felt his heart pierce by a cupid's arrow. ~I should start making my moves,~

Thankfully, he was going to have enough alone time on this mission.

...

When Tony announced stopping the weapons division of the Stark Industries, it sent a chill down the whole military-industrial complex. All weapons companies panicked as this would make the market too volatile.

Many politicians at the capitol went into a frenzy trying to get Stark Industries to reverse its decision. But the real mess was on Wall Street. Worse than Tony expected, the company lost 50% of its value as people started to panic selling the stocks.

Not just Stark Industries but other weapons companies also got caught in the momentum and lost something. However, just then, major news came.

...

At Tony's office, he played billiards merely, not worried about the company. Just then, Obadiah Stane entered with Pepper Potts.

"It's a bloodbath, Tony. If this goes on, the company won't survive. Weapons are its largest source of revenue. All your father's work will be in ruins." Obadiah cried the same song.

Tony was unfazed, "Dad wouldn't have wanted his son to die from the same weapons his company makes. My decision is final, that's it. At max, we will go down 40 points."

"We've gone down 56 points, Tony,"

"Damn, I expected more."

*Cough*

"What do you want?" Obadiah barked.

*BAM*

Hector threw a paper on his face, "Sign it. Sign that all your stocks will go to Tony Stark on your demise, and your property will go to the charity of Tony's choosing."

Obadiah watched Hector's face. He couldn't see if this was the real deal, but that didn't matter anymore. "You will just kill me after that,"

"Haha, I will kill you anyway. I have enough folks in Congress to ensure all your property returns to Stark Industries. Signing is just an incentive for you,"

"What incentive?" he asked.

"A painless death,"

Tony jumped, "You're going to kill him?"

*Sigh* "Don't give me all your ideals crap now. This man is responsible for various wars and the death of millions. Death is the least he can get. Understand this, Tony, if you think I should treat Obadiah like any common criminal, should I not treat you like a criminal too?" he asked.

Tony had nothing to refute here. Hector continued to force Obadiah, "Your choice, painless death or a painful death that lasts hours. I will slowly skin you layer by layer; it takes time. Or maybe I can throw you in some village in Afghanistan,"

"I will not sign,"

"Fine, Moony. Come here,"

"Grrr..."

Moony showed all his fangs, not looking cute fluffy boy at all. He knew what he needed to do. He put Obadiah's whole bald head into his jaws and started pressing it. He increased the force slowly to maximise terror.

Blood started flowing down Obadiah's face. Soon the pain also increased. *CRACK* The first crack on his skull sounded. "AAAAARGH!"

"I'LL SIGN IT!"

Moony didn't him go until he had signed the papers. But his misery was not over. "My death will be investigated. The board won't be happy,"

Hector smirked, "Bwahaha... fool, accidents do happen. After all, you're not a businessman anymore. You're a terrorist who sells weapons to enemy factions. And you tried to create an armoured suit, which malfunctioned at the test and killed you inside it."

Obadiah had forgotten one thing. Hector was not just a soldier; he was one hell of a politician. A politician with a mighty fist of justice and freedom.

"Moony, drag him by his leg," he ordered.

Tony remained silent the whole time. He knew he'd earn Hector's fury if he now meddled. After all, it was due to his lack of foresight on the company that this situation arose. He had to eat the deadly pill he had cultivated now instead of expecting to be given a rose of appreciation.

MY THIRST FOR STONES IS ETERNAL!
