It worked
|Tony Stark Pov|
At Stark Enterprise in Tony's office with his trusted secretary Pepper continuously walking in and out with a new set of documents ready for it to be thoroughly copied and analysed by Jarvis was the frustrated Tony Stark.
"Tony, if you tell me what you're looking for this might not take so long" Said Pepper who had grown tired of her new work pattern
"Sigh, I made a mistake and now I'm trying to fix it"
Pepper desperately asked, "What mistake?"
"I was too focused on the sales and neglected the details. Look at these pictures" Chucking the Photos Sol provided
Pepper looked through the photos "New clients?"
"They are old clients but they aren't registered. No record of the transaction or what was sold. The only evidence I have is these photos with my weapons in the background"
"Who are they?"
"For the most part, they are people with no record but this guy is Ulysses Klaue a notorious arms dealer"
"So you're trying to find out who it is but what if you never find out who is behind it?"
"I don't need to worry about finding them"
Peppers's eyes widened as she had a sudden realisation "I'll call Happy and have him up the security"
Jarvis's mechanical voice interrupted "Mr Stark, Mr Bastard has made a public appearance"
Tony shot up from his chair "What, where?"
"Who?" Being Tony's secretary Pepper was confused as she knew everyone that Tony had spoken to
"Smithsonian Air and Space Museum"
"Show me?"
. . . . . . . . .
Shortly after Sol's disappearance, every TV channel was interrupted.
A woman in professional attire looked at the audience with concern in her eye "At 4:30 pm at Smithsonian Air and Space Museum an American tragedy occurred. The exhibit for one of America's greatest symbols, Captain America had his entire mannequin stolen. This mannequin was equipped with the original combat uniform. This not only occurred during the day it happened in front of the police. This just in we have attained footage from witnesses at the scene"
A 6-minute video was then broadcast all over America as they witnessed the most bizarre thief recorded in history. A complete disregard for the unspoken heist guidelines that include secrecy, crowd control, black clothes, speed, threats, and hostility.
Instead, they got a suave man clad in red that made his presence known without threatening anyone who then picked up an easy sexual assault case, and apprehended the guards with no injuries before becoming a fool that put on a comedy show. Despite it initially being meant to be seen as a terrorist act, viewers had already fallen into the illusion that it was a new show even getting angry when the police turned up to ruin the fun.
The video cut back to the newswoman who was staring at the large screen next to her looking to be lost in thought.
"... Huh? Ahem as the video portrayed a heinous crime that mocks the American hero. If you have any information please contact me ahem I mean us with the number below"
For a moment the American people were left baffled at what they had watched because, unlike the usual emotion for such cases like indifference, concern, and anger what replaced it was pure confusion.
"What did I/we just watch?" Was the thought bounced around their heads
The news was instantly flipped on its head as it became less about detaining a criminal and recovering an American artefact to wanting to see more from the mysterious thief.
Then on every social, it became the thing to talk about. Multiple videos and forums overanalyzing the heist.
"This is a nice change of pace from the usual doom and gloom the note even said Thank You for the Donation to my collection. Until next time... I guess he hasn't thought of a name. I say, Spector"
"try again"
"Red Robin, like Robin Hood but with red"
"Boring, but I think alliteration is a good start"
"How about Sexual Assualt"
"Boo hoo no fun"
"Rose Raider"
"Oh watch out it's the Rose Raider!!"
"Fuck you, it was just a suggestion"
"fuck it Malfoy"
"Nope, get that pansy ass Harry Potter shit out of here"
"Keep it simple Mr. Magic"
"I like it"
"Trash, it should be Scarlet Sword since he has a sword"
"Slayer"
"One Slash"
"Okay, who invited the weebs?"
"I like Mr Magic but he will always be mine to me"
"Oh great now the delusional aunties come out"
"Who the fuck you call Auntie you small dicked virgin f******"
(A.N: It's 2008 insults were not creative)

|Solomon Pov|
Sol put his outfit and accessories away. Unlike the white suit, the Scarlet suit was something he specially assembled for combat and entertainment.
During his heist, he had confirmed that the gacha was powered similarly to that of the entertainment system which used a large burst of emotion. When he made his grand appearance he could feel an energy entering his body which became more intense as he performed. When it was broadcast all over America that feeling got stronger before finally the System reacted.
*HONK* [Gacha×4 available]
Sol excitedly shouted "Hit it system"
*Drud duh duh bling ting ding DONG!*
While it started Samuel prayed "Praise to the freaky wacky and disturbed cartoon gods may you bless my first step into a crippling gambling addiction, Amen"
[SpongeBob SquarePants - Crabby Patty]
[Ben10 Ultimate - Kevin's Car]
[Sonic Underground - Chili Dog]
[The Road Runner Show - Paint Escape]
[Crabby Patty: Summon up to 500 crabby patty burgers a day. Ingredients are unknown but beloved by all who take a bite]
[Kevin's Car: Degraded Copy of the famed Kevin Levin muscle car with its only features being bulletproof and healing from any damage after 24 hours]
[Sonic Underground: Summon up to 1000 chilli Dogs a day. If it can conquer the hunger of the famed blue speed demon then it will conquer the most stubborn human]
[Paint Escape: Make a quick getaway with the ability to enter realistic paintings. It must be painted. If someone holds onto the host they will also follow through]
"Yes!!"
Samuel's excitement seemed from his need for the Paint Escape skill because currently he is set on the offensive side but lacks defensive skill. And you know what they say "The best self-defence is running away". Although he has a Home Hole it is just that, a hole and if he were to hide in it mid-battle then he would be stuck inside while his enemies plan an easy ambush.
(A.N: I don't know if I made it clear before but the hole does not close once inside and does not change location if he's in the hole)
'Acquire'
Unlike before there was no electrical surge that passed through his body or a headache. That didn't matter as a gorgeous green and black dodge challenger just spawned in his workshop. He quickly jumped into the driver's seat and got a feel of the beast.
*VROOOM*
His body shook as the deep rumble of the engine ran through him "I'm in love!"
Then with a thought, he summoned three Crabby Pattys and a chili dog. All three Crabby Pattys were exactly alike from the cheese melting over the patty to the placement of sesame seeds. A mouthwatering aroma of a fat and juicy burger collided with his nostrils before he excitedly chomped down.
His surroundings began to twist and morph before he found himself in a burger floaty while a huge blue wave with a buff cow standing on a lush green lettuce surfboard wearing cheese shorts and a tomato shirt crashed into him.
Back to reality his eyes wide he stared at his burger "This. . What is this? How can it be so good"
He finished both burgers before raising the Chilidog to his face. Hot steam beamed off it as just a slight waft of the chilli-infused wiener caused his nose to scrunch and his eyes to water.
"This can't be edible? Fuck it gulp" With those words he took a bite that he immediately regretted
In an instant, a spirited fire swept over his taste buds as he began sweating profusely while steam came from his nose before finally swallowing. The fire hastily spread through his body. His surroundings turned into firey hell with a bunch of gym bro demons posing and pumping iron.
"Hot!! So hot, fuck but it's so good" He said before turning the car's AC on
Finishing his Chilidog he finally took a moment to think over how to use the Paint Escape skill.
Sat at the desk he began to write "First the restriction, it needs to be a realistic colour painting and a 1 to 1 scale of the place and it must be a painting that I did. On the upside, paintings can be applied to any surface and can even be reused also no one else can use them unless they are holding onto me. I need to learn how to paint which will take me roughly 2 months with constant work. For portability, I'll have to go with scrolls as tall and wide as doors and hatch. Hmm, what else can I do. . . ."
