Hey guys. I know I've been gone again for a long time. And I feel guilty for not updating in a long time. Being caught up with the second semester, along with problems related to Typhoon Odette back in December, I have not come back to my works for a long time, and I am sorry if it is disappointing. But I'm back. I have come to continue where I left off. Time to remember what I used to do. For those that have been patient enough, I thank you.

To make up for the lost time, I am making this quite long to give you more time to read.

DEMACIA

En route to Fossbarrow...

The Avengers, along with Garen, Lux, Vayne, Shyvana and Quinn, decided to head to the town of Fossbarrow, which was named after Garen and Lux's grandfather: Fossbarrow Crownguard. They decided to use the horses again, as the Avengers knew of the fact that there may be no energy sources to recharge their suits if it ever came to it, nor would there be nanotech or nanomaterials for maintenance and repair available in Runeterra. They brought gold for payment in buying supplies within Fossbarrow for the journey.

Eric Stormguard had the excuse to bail on the last minute as he was absent from his work for a day, and felt that he had to make up for it, especially to the person that gave him and the Avengers the pass to enter the kingdom. He apologized for the sudden change of plans, and promised to make up for it once they return.

For Bruce, however, they had to bring a robust cart to carry his enormous weight. As a result, he had his own separate horses. A few Demacian soldiers would accompany them until Fossbarrow.

On the way they struck up a conversation to pass the time.

"So tell me, you said your armor can fly. Why is it that you're not utilizing its capabilities right now?" Shyvana asked

"Oh yeah, about that, we don't know what we can use to recharge its energy and if it gets damaged or needs maintenance, we don't know where to get the resources from." Tony answered

"Quite unfortunate, given its supposed reputation. You said that you created your armor during your imprisonment by terrorist forces, am I right?"

"Yeah. Those terrorists worked for a group called The Ten Rings. They actually wanted me to create missiles to use against my own people. In my imagination with the help of somebody I still hold dear to my memory, I created the Iron Man Mark I Armor to break out of that cave in Afghanistan. In my opinion, the Ten Rings actually is quite similar to HYDRA."

"You mean the same HYDRA that Mr. Steve talked about two days ago?" Lux chimed in

"Yes. HYDRA was a big pain in the ass to defeat. If I recall, HYDRA was thought to be dead by the time Cap here supposedly defeated their leader back in World War II."

"How? If I also remember, it was over 80 years ago back in your world, am I right?" Lux became curious

"Yep. When I still fought back in World War II, I defeated HYDRA's leader back then. His name is Johann Schmidt, or as he was called, the Red Skull. After that, I went into the ice for the rest of those years till I was recovered days before the Battle of New York. Years after that, I found out that an old friend of mine during the war, named Bucky, was actually alive as I thought he was dead after he fell off the HYDRA train that we targeted. He wasn't the same ever since." Steve took over

"This seemed too great for you to witness. How were you able to handle it?" Quinn asked

"Schmidt's assistant, a Swiss scientist named Dr. Arnim Zola, was one of those recruited after World War II as part of utilizing Germany's scientists for the advancements in scientific progress, and helped S.H.I.E.L.D, the organization that helped form the Avengers and found me from the ice. When I found out he was alive, I did my best to save him from his condition."
