4 Around the world
In the desert of Afghanistan, was industrialist Tony Stark, firing an N.R.F. 45 machine gun.
Tony puts the N.R.F. 425 gun down next to other weapons. He takes the stage forward to all the army officers, citing his greetings and specifics about the product.
"The age-old question: is it better to be feared or respected? I say, is it too much to ask for both?"
He nods at the Jericho Missile, as it fires off behind him, where Tony waits for the surprise
"With that in mind, I humbly present the crown jewel of Stark Industries Freedom Line. It's the first missile system to incorporate my proprietary Repulsor Technology. They say the best weapon is one you never have to fire. I prefer the one you only have to fire once..."
The Jericho divides from a single missile, into scores of mini-missiles. Making large booms on each contact with the ground.
A row of majestic peaks behind him as he raises his arms.
"For your consideration,-
"Sir there is an emergency notification."
The mountains behind his outstretched hands explode. The shock wave washes over Tony, blanking him with dust and flying off the caps of the military men as they stood before the powerful demonstration.
"the Jericho..."
Tony walks over to his fun-wee raising his glass.
"You ruined it Jarvis, What's the thing, so important to cancel my Drip?"
"Gentlemen, To peace, gentlemen...and with every five hundred million, I'll throw in a free one of these..."
"Sir the Blue Portal over New York has vanished, kicking off one man to space while another on Earth."
"WAHT?" And then and there, the 250 thousand dollar bottle of liquor, fell off his hands, intoxicating the ants beneath him.
"We are leaving for New York NOW!"
Tony jumped into his fun-wee happy, for once after all those months, to have what he was waiting for happen just when he was not in the state.
But Obadiah had other plans for him...

"Sir the Portal has vanished, the cameras around the area show us a man, dressed all black in a cape first gliding over the city and then vanishing from the sights of everyone."
On the sear was Obama, the current U.S. president, with all of the military, F.B.I., and even some Police heads surrounding him.
"How can one escape the eyes of the government in this era of digitalization?" Asked the rageful F.B.I. chief, clearly not convinced of the report given by the S.H.I.E.L.D. official on the screen, sharing it with various presidents, prime ministers, and heads of other countries.
"-----I wrote this paragraph in Chinese, but As Chinese or Korean appears in the chapter content (or chapter title, book title, abbreviation, and synopsis ), your work will not be voted and gifted. After you modify the content, please contact the platform editor for processing as soon as possible.--------, so imagine it written in chinese"
Hu Jintao, the Chinese president took the lead with the anti-US group, with them complaining about how the United States was hiding the information about the portal and now they should be held responsible for having two aliens amidst the humans on Earth.
"Sir- the United States has long since hidden any information-" The translator was stopped with a signal from their president, as he did not need to know what the opposite party had just said.
"We have shared all the information we have gained over the years in all honestly, we even opened the place for public research if need be. We won't be taking criticism from anyone."
He turned to the screen where the Shield spokesperson was present.
"As for our future decisions, what is the status report about the two beings, every second is important in things like this."
"I just received the info, Mr. President, one of the beings who was driven out was thrown out of Earth's atmosphere, with a speed of 267,921 meters per second, according to our estimates he should have passed the orbit of Jupiter, being around Saturn at the moment, going forward at about some speed as the trajectory it has chosen is still approximate."
"Give me the approximate measures." President Obama asked.
"We estimate it to revolve around Saturn as its rings do, or travel relentlessly far from the Solar system, to come back after about 12 years, as comet does, if the body of the said doing not deteriorate over time."
"Good, that's half the worry gone there." U.S. President felt relieved.
"что, если он вернется как очень сильный инопланетянин? Что тогда? (asking what if the alien returns, with hostile intentions)
Vladimir Putin, who was constitutionally barred from serving a third consecutive term as president of Russia, assumed the role of prime minister under President Dmitry Medvedev and asked the council as the head of the Russian state.
"Then we would serve our guest as he would serve us." Nicholas James Fury, replaced the Shield spokesperson to join the council of the countries himself as the Director of Shield.
"As for the second one who fell on earth, that was a human, when he fell from the portal, with him came a river of blood, blue and red. "
The screen shows the blurred-out figure of Steppenwolf and another, somewhat clear image of Batman.
"We have reasons to believe this man is on humanity's side, fighting some extraterrestrial threat, the threat which is on its way to Saturn right now."
"And what reasons would that be?" the f.b.i. chief for once asked a valid question.
"Let me correct myself, we hope him to be on humanity's side, for all that I know no human would be playing with an alien twice their height, surrounded by blood. These are preliminary reports, please refrain to speak before foreign delegates without your country's representative's permission, Chief of F.B.I." Fury humiliated the FBI chief who sunk into his chair low.
Fury the continued. "We found papers, with all the blood and destroyed tech that fell in the heart of New York. The reports suggest it to have a similar tech structure to that of the the ISS (international space station). The only piece worth noticing that could identify either of the suspects is a passport, granted to Diana Prince, by the nation of Themyscira to allow travel to the united states and Japan."
"nation of Themyscira?" Most of the delegates were confused, not knowing if such a country existed, they counter checked their knowledge with their secretaries, who did not know about such."
"We have acquired the blood, the blue blood shows high amounts of copper and radiation, alpha, gamma, infrared, you name it. Also, the contents included what seem to be a horn, made of an unknown metal, never been seen on Earth, nigh indestructible."
"फिर आपको यह धातु का टुकड़ा कैसे मिला?" The Indian representative, Dr. Manmohan Singh asked as everyone was participating in the discussion earnestly. (then how did you acquire this indestructible metal?)
"Something stronger than something indestructible, we are treading in dangerous waters." The British queen frowned.
"We have got a blood sample of the human one of them, along with fingerprints on the horn we think to be his, in no time we would identify this man. Thereafter we would interrogate the details behind this phenomenon and the other guest who was with him"
Voices against the US having the authority to investigate foreign, alien tech were raised.
"This is an integral problem of the United States, we would earnestly share what we could find about the phenomenon as soon as we find something."
"اور وقت ضائع کریں جیسا کہ آپ نے پہلے خلائی پورٹل کے ساتھ کیا تھا؟?" (And waste time as you did earlier with the blue space portal?)
The translator besides the US president translated as he did the previous hundred times, each time in a different language.
'I am paid too low for this sh#t'
"No we will be implementing the same terms as we did with the portal, effectively after 2 months, the metal would be on public exhibit, for everyone around the world to discover on their own, of course, under supervision."
"As for now, we are contacting the leading scientist, Tony Stark to take a first-hand view on the same." The US president finally stopped when one screen lit up at the side.
On the screen was Tony shaping awake. Tied to a chair, bloody rags covering his chest. Two Insurgents flank a DV camera. Behind Tony were a line of armed hooded men and a banner showing ten interlocked rings.
The Leader, with a huge Choori knife in one hand, reads rhetoric (in Dari) for the camera. until the image of a desperate Tony breaks up into pixel chaos.
"Motherf#cker" The closed captions followed the sound from the screen where the Director of Shield was.
'Motherf#cher indeed'
