AN: hey guys, it's me. Hope everyone's having a good day. Anyways enjoy the chapter.

Elm village

Steve Rogers was in a temple which Friday was using as a makeshift lab to develop stuff to help the villagers. He went and he saw Friday already starting to use the aluminum alloy to develop tools specifically shovels to help agricultural use. " you already started making tools with the metal? " Asked Steve. Friday responded with " yes, thanks to the supplies that mr. Stark able to get me. " Steve just looked at her and chuckled a bit for saying " yep that's Tony for you. " Friday responded with "one more thing. Are you aware of the recent developments that's Mister Stark had announced? " Steve responded with " if you're regarding that Queens is here with us then yes. Tony told me about how Peter got involved. Well now that whole seven Heroes story is starting to look like it's prophecy. There is exactly seven of us now." Captain America just stood there for a few minutes thinking before saying" alright I got to get going. It's good to see that everything is going really well. Don't overwork yourself all right and if you need anything just ask me, vision or Peter when he gets here."

Then the A.I responded with " understood Mister Rogers. 🎵 it's a beautiful day in the neighborhood🎵" Steve was shocked hear those lyrics then he says in annoyance to no one in particular " Tony, you son of a b****." Then he leaves the temple. As he's walking back to the main cabin he thinks to himself until he felt temperature drop slightly he looks up and notice is it snowing. He looks up in the snow wondering if winter will make things a little bit difficult to help the village. As he's walking he can't help it over here conversations about getting a bath in before it gets too cold. He thinks to himself that makes sense do to there's no Plumbing. Wait, Plumbing! He may have to have Fridays, Petro a,vision help on this one but he has an idea how to solve this issue.

the Central Plaza, place of the Stark Trading Company.

Neutscheland was planning to put this new rival out of business. The plan was to buy Goods left and right. Make sure that prices are cheaper then his competitors and they would be out of business within a few days but that plan went out the window when he heard the news that the suppliers are not going to sell him anything. He had to go to the Central Plaza just to see himself. " what's going on?! Have you people lost your minds?!" he asks.

Then he looks at those suppliers and is shocked to see some familiar faces. Peter,Roo,and Elch where watching from a far. " wait a second I Know Who You Are. " he said. Tony walked up to him and said" wow you're so observant. Remember them? These are the traveling merchants that you laid off after you monopolize Trading. You fired these guys just to cut the cost of Labor and force the villagers themselves to deliver their goods to you. making them cover the cost of transportation. You treated potential buyers as garbage. Since you fired all these merchants, we hired them into our company." Neutscheland then asked "wait are you serious ? "

Tony quickly responded with" does it look like I'm joking? Our company signed an exclusive three-year contract with these traveling merchants. Which means all their goods were purchased before they even hit the shelves in the market that used to control. You can sit here until the oceans dry but that's not going to mean a thing If you can't get a single thing of merchandise to sell." Neutscheland what shocks to hear that and desperately said " don't listen to him he's deceiving you. A company will buy your goods for more than he's offering. It's a much better deal and you can still sell your stuff to us. "

One of the merchants then said. " these people warned us that you'd be offering to pay us more." Another one of them quickly said " we knew your play and we went with them instead." Neutscheland asked "but, why?" The First Merchant then said " isn't it obvious? It's because we didn't want to sell to you. We risk Our Lives delivering stuff for you to sell only for us to get fired over some crappy accounting. " the other merchant then says " now that you're close to losing your entire business you are offering us more money but when this trade War is Over you'll go back and paying us on the cheap. "

yakui got on his knees and desperately said " no, I'll pay you for what your troubles are really worth. I am sorry for the way I behaved in the past. Forgive me! " when are the other Merchants than said "You're way too late for that oh, we just don't trust you anymore." Neutscheland just looks on at the crowd feeling the biggest defeat of his life. "yakui, what's most important to a business isn't money but trust. As long as you have that trust you can always make more money. But you disregarded that trust just a quick buck and now your business is in shambles." Says Tony. Elch then says to Peter and Roo. I"can't believe it. He actually crushed Neutscheland within a week." He was going to say something else but he was interrupted when he heard Tony talking to yakui again.

" I have to tell you though, it would be wrong let your company be destroyed. It doesn't matter if it's Stark or Neutscheland, it's not a good thing when one company controls everything. So why don't we work out a deal. Let's discuss the economy and how we can both make it better." Yakui Neutscheland then asked in disbelief but hopeful " really? " Tony wrapped his arm around him and said "sure, but just know that we are planning on taking advantage of you so you better bring your game to the table. " Yakui looks at him scared before agreeing to his terms while Elch just watches with curiosity.

later at the Docks.

Tony wanted to meet with Klaus again discuss some business. After he was done he decided to hang out by the docks for a little bit. Peter was playing with Roo by using the whole disappearing coin trick where you put it between the fingers and the other person's wondering where it go. Elch had to ask what was bothering him. " hey why didn't you crush Neutscheland like you said you would?" Tony looked at him before saying " because there been more chaos with crushing him instead of having him as a competitor." Elch then asked " such as what?" Tony then responds with " well for one we wouldn't have been able to keep that many merchants employed I was always intending to give them back to Neutscheland once we broke his spirit and molded him into a better businessman."

Elch was confused as then he said " you're saying that our contracts are nothing more then empty promises? " Tony just simply said " yep. " Elch look at him wide-eyed before saying " you're telling me this after talking about trust? You're a monster. " from where I come from I'm known as The DaVinci of my time. But I don't think you know who he is so just say I'm a genius". Tony says. A loud voice comes from behind them and says rudely " we finally found you little brat! You two, what are you doing walking around in someone else's property!?" Roo clinging onto Peter crying. Peter then asked "what do you mean property ? " The rude men then said " that little brat is our slave. She ran off so we had to hunt her down. "

Peter looked like he wanted to punch this idiot, Tony couldn't blame him he heard terrorists do bad things to women and children in Afghanistan. But still he signaled Peter not to get into a fight just yet. If his plan doesn't work out then he will activate his Iron Man suit and Peter will web these morons. They just might get Repulsor blast to the face. Roo is crying as one of the men grabbed her and started dragging her to a ship.

She had flashbacks of how her family was separated due to slavery and her one dream to see them again. She bit her captors arm and ran towards Tony when she was free and she said to him. " one day I'm going to become a great Merchant oh, I'll make lots of money and then I'll use it to buy back my mommy and daddy but after that, all the money I have left over I'm going to give it to you. So teacher please buy me, you won't be sorry that you took a chance." Tony looked at her and he knew he had to help her. She may have been obsessed with money but she wanted to do some great things. In a way she was almost like a himself.

He saw a way that did not have to end in violence so he decided to do that as much as he wanted to give the idiots the beating they deserved. He would attract too much attention. So he decided to do one thing. He threw a bag full of gold and coins ask the guy who was trying to recapture Roo. " I would like to purchase the slave at a hundred times the market price. " the man rubbing his head from being hit in the head with a heavy sack of coins. He looks at him and says " alright oh, but you're not getting a refund." Tony looks at him and says "then our business is done." The men walked away. Tony then looks at Roo kneeling down to her to look her in the eyes before saying " that was beautiful, your determination is way more valuable than the money I just spent. You'll get back your mother and father I promise."

Roo begins to sob tears of joy onto Tony's shoulder as she hugged him. Tony then signals Peter. He then lunches a spider Tracer from his web shooters on to the slave merchants. With some planning and dedication they can possibly free all the slaves they owned maybe even find Roo's parents. " those idiots they will regret it. They just gave up a Priceless treasure for a handful of coins. Sorry Elch, that I spend our money without even asking. " Elch look at Stark and then said " you don't need to apologize. From what I learned from you is that we can always make more. I'm the Village Treasure you think I would know. Spending money on the right thing, feels good." Tony looks at him and says"You're right about that. Let's all head back to the Village. If we are we we can make it back before noon. oh Peter before I forget. I made you an Avenger and you earned it. We can always use you on the team especially here in Middle Earth" Peter Just Smiles at that statement. No matter where he goes great power comes great responsibility and man helping people does feel good

back at the village.

Steve has his hand on the shovel near the lake he's been working on a project for the village. He figured now is a great time to see how Natasha and Tony are doing. The Black Widow on information gathering and Tony acquiring funds and supplies for the village as well as supplies they need. He knows that Tony will stop by sometime today so he will ask him his side of the story later. But now he's going to talk to Natasha on his Communicator since she is currently in Dormundt

" the Stark trading company had a huge success and not only getting Us and the village things we need but also ended a monopoly." " That's Tony for you. He's a hero inside the suit as well as outside. So how are you doing Romanoff? " He said. " doing great. There is a lot of information to follow here but it is useful. About the magic thing here's what I've been able to come up with. There are four types of spirits. Fire, water, strong winds and Earth. They're all tied to Natural phenomenons and somehow when you're able to communicate with these spirits it gives you control over that element. The people who can use magic are really rare. Here in the region of Findorff, there is only one person who knows magic and that is the Mage officer living in Lord Findorff's Castle."

" okay anything on Magic that can summon people from another world or traveling worlds? Tony really wants to know the answer for this." Said Steve. " I don't know yet. I'm still researching. It's a little bit difficult to find information when magic itself is rare. " " well I guess getting their concept of magic is a good start. Thank you." Steve said. " you welcome. I'll let you guys know anything if anything comes up. On a completely different note, it looks like we're out of luck on the whole seven hero story." "What do you mean?" Steve said.

" well, the only connection I could find was a religion called the seven lights faith." " I don't think I've heard about that one. "Said Steve. " well oh, it was a little bit hard Gathering Intel because all the churches of the seven lights faith what destroyed several centuries ago by the Freyaguard Empire. In fact it wasn't just the seven lights faith, it was all religions. The Empire's law for survival of the fittest didn't allow gods or goddesses to be placed above the Empire."

" religious oppression. Sounds like another dictator." Steve said. " yeah, but here's the thing I checked the nearby villages and found that not only are there no religions , but didn't even have records of any." "I see." " oh, before I forget. There is one problem. You can't just move around freely you have to get a special travel permit signed by Markeith Findorff in order to leave the territory. From what I hear he's one hell of a shity bastard." "well there are some of those in every where, if you look for them. " said Steve.

a voice suddenly interrupts. "Steve we almost got the project done. "Said Pedro. Vision added. " Yes we made a significant amount of progress. " Loki then stated. " I thought I would have died of old age before I would get a chance to use it. " "project,what project?" asked Natasha. Steve then answered" well I heard some of the villagers talking about how they look like to get Baths done before winter come. So I decided to contribute a public facility to the Village." Natasha then asked "it's a Japanese bathhouse isn't it?". Steve responded with " yes it is. I still remember my trip to Japan."

A few minutes later. Winona, Lyrule, Steve, Petro, and Loki we're using the bath house to relax after a long day of working. They're wearing swimming attire made of leaves. They were definitely relaxing until...

Vision came in quickly saying "the villagers have encountered a monster. Something called chief of the forest.!" Steve knew what he had to do. He then said" All right everyone gear up quickly as possible. Friday are you here? " always am" she said as a empty Iron Man suit Landing next to Steve being remote-controlled by Friday herself."alright. Loki and Quicksilver stay here unless we need backup. "

They all got dressed really quickly. Steve summoned mjolnir and grab the shield as he was running towards the forest vision, Winona, and Friday in the Iron Man suit followed him. Quicksilver and Loki stayed behind with Lyrule.

AN: I am going to leave it there for now. Any way. do you guys think?
