In a Convention hall sowhere in New York, many well dressed n and won were sitting calmly in front of a podium, listening to a man that was speaking rather confidently. Among those n and won are Pluto, sitting in the right corner of the room, watching tentatively, Thena didn’t co along however, as she was scouting for a land in Queens Boulevard, as they were planning to build a ho there, because it’s rather annoying to go from upstate to the city back and forth every day.
The man that was speaking was Howard Stark. He, along with his newly built company Stark Industries was explaining sothing towards the masses in front of him.
“Vibranium,” he said. “Stronger than steel, third the weight. It is also one of the rarest tals on earth, maybe even the universe….”
Stark wandered around the podium rather patiently, calming himself down from excitent. “My team and I managed to get so Vibranium, courtesy of Mr. Smith from the Smith Enterprises, he’s generous enough to give us so of his Vibranium collection to us to study, and I assure you, Mr. Smith, we discovered many things.”
Stark took a deep breath, and continued. “You see, one of the reasons that the Simians of the Zira Kingdom were able to quickly develop, is because of the versatile uses of Vibranium. It could be used for combat, as we have seen countless examples in the Great War that it could easily block bullets, artillery shells, and so on and so forth… that is why they banned the free trade of Vibranium, well, for good reason, if it falls to the wrong hands, it could be a deadly thing. It might be a hypocritical thing for to say, as my company deals with weapons… but… the property of Vibranium is so rich with possibilities, that I might just shudder from the weapons that could be made from them. We already see the Ornithopters of the Zirans that even to , while it looks like it breaks the laws of physics at first, but when you look at the material that it's made of, it makes sense…”
Stark looked around the audience, and smiled at Pluto. “There is also the possibility of dical uses. I believe in the near future, tiny robots made out of Vibranium could be used to cure even the deadliest of cancers in a matter of days, hours even. If we could just get our hands on those vibranium, the ‘tomorrow’ from those sci-fi movies might just be reached in a matter of decades, our lives would be much better… but I understand that it could also be much worse, if an evil gets their hands of those tech, we’ll be dood.”
Stark then continued to talk passionately, and the audience heard him talk, seemingly srised with his voice. As he finished talking, the audience gave him a standing ovation, to which he just bowed, thanking them for their attention.

Pluto and Howard Stark were now in a car, travelling through the streets of New York as it rained from above, wetting the road below.
“The governnt just approached , giving an offer to work on a project,” said Stark.
“That’s good. You’ll get more protection from that.”
“I don’t know Mr. Smith…” Stark sighed. “Making a deal with the governnt is just…”
“A war is coming Howard.” stated Pluto. “Although I specifically said to my company to not support wars in any way, you still can, especially that you’re talking about revolutionary technology over here, spies are around us, you could be killed at any mont..”
Howard sighed. “I understand, Mr. Smith…”
Pluto clicked his tongue. “Please, I told you to call William.”
“All right… William…” Howard murmured. “I must thank you once again for the Vibranium you got , how do you get it anyway?”
“It’s easy enough, I know the Ziran King.” Pluto shrugged, making Howard’s eyes widened.
“You’re joking… right?”
Pluto humd lazily at Howard’s question, and changed the topic. “Where do you go from now?”
“I guess I should take up your advice, working with the governnt.” he said. “Although I still don’t know what I need protection for.”
As soon as he said that, Pluto’s instinct flare up, and a bomb suddenly blew up from the side. Pluto saw the car was speeding through the road to catch up with them, and they caught up. Pluto quickly conjured a shield, protecting him and Howard as their car blew up to pieces.
Pluto and Howard got knocked onto the side of the street, the barrier still surrounding them. Pluto looked around, he used Juno’s power to scan the surroundings, and he discovered the group of assassins. He just raised his hands, and re seconds later, heads started to drop in front of him, blood running down the rainy road.
“W-Wha—” Howard stuttered, scared by the sudden gore in front of him. He was also surprised to see Pluto do weird things in front of him. Pluto turned to Howard, making him flinched.
“You alright son?” he questioned.
“Y-Yeah…” Howard stumred.
Pluto humd. “Do a favour, don’t tell anyone, or I have to remove the mory myself.”
Howard gupled at the words, he looked at the bodyless heads in front of him and he thought that he was threatening him with that. Howard nodded. “I-I promise Mr. Smith, I will carry this secret until the day that I die.”
Pluto sighed. “I told you, call William.”
