"It's a call for you. "His chauffeur said.
Tony Stark picked up.
"It's me. " The voice said, "Do you mind meeting me for dinner? I've something really important for you. "
"It'd be a pleasure Mr.Elon but... "
"Alvarez Restaurant, 5:53 ."

" I'm glad you made it. " Elon Musk smiled.
"What choice did I have? "
...A smoked salmon peppered with seasoned salt was brought.
"So, what's going on? "
"Food first, Tony. It's getting cold. "
"Oh. " Tony Stark took a mouthful plaintively, "Tastes good."
"Made by my favourite chef. Glad you liked it. "
A silence.
Then, "I'm afraid they've already attacked. " Stark said.
"Excuse me. "
"The Russians. They killed my nephew. "
"Sorry to hear that. " Elon Musk said, saddened.

"You might be right. They're planning something hideous. "

"I've worked with Russians for a long time, Stark. They're fiercely competitive. And they are great patriots. Not the Henry Mark type. Solid patriotism. " Elon munched on his salmon.

"But what about the profits? " Stark raised his glass for a wine refill, "There's definitely a huge blow coming our way should the Russians stop buying from us. "
      It was Musk's turn to raise his glass. The waitress hurried over.
"Attack us or not isn't the issue, Tony. It's their methods that worry me. I've been talking to the Senator this morning. "
    He sipped on his wine, "He sounded alarmed by the increasing Russian activity in America."
       "They own drug cartels all over the states. " Stark noted.
"Not just drugs. Talk of education, voting, finance. They've infiltrated every possible place in our government. "

Stark sipped on his wine, glancing at the clock. "So what's your plan?"
Elon Musk stood up, "That's where you come in, Stark. I need a partner on a new software company I'm working on. In this way, we'll earn enough profits. Enough to cut off Russian gun supply. "

"Sounds like a trash can idea, but let's give it a try. " Tony Stark grinned, forking at the salmon.
As he headed home, Tony Stark thought of what could go wrong if he failed at this.
