Meanwhile the events happen same as iron man 2. Ivan escaped with hammer help. The Stark Expo buzzed with energy, a celebration of innovation, but also a prelude to chaos. Rows of newly unveiled drones lined the stage, Hammer basking in the limelight as he prepared to present the supposed future of defense technology to the world. Pepper Potts stood off to the side, representing Stark Industries as CEO, her gaze steady but mind aware of the history that haunted events like these.

Meanwhile, in Tony's workshop, Da Vinci, Bucky Barnes, and Yinsen were absorbed in their work—until a sudden call shattered the calm.

"Stark." Tony picked up his phone, his face tightening as Ivan Vanko's cold, bitter voice cut through.

"You think you're safe in your fancy house, Tony? This is my revenge—for everything your family did to mine. I've made sure that your little Expo is going to be unforgettable."

Tony immediately shot a glance at Da Vinci, Yinsen, and Bucky, the tension in the room palpable.

"Jarvis, track his location," Tony commanded.

"Working on it, sir," came the AI's calm response.

Yinsen's face grew pale. "Pepper is at the Expo."

Bucky's eyes darkened, his soldier instincts kicking in as he turned to Tony. "We need to move fast. If he's controlling those drones remotely, Potts and everyone else are in serious danger."

Da Vinci, unfazed by the sudden shift in atmosphere, leaned back in her chair with a smirk. "I'll call Ritsuka. We might need his help on this one."

**Meanwhile...**

In a quiet bakery, Ritsuka Fujimaru stood by the counter, engaged in light conversation with Artoria Lancer, who was seated nearby.

"Once I recover my command spells, I'll summon the friends best suited to help us for opening bakery shop," Ritsuka said, giving Artoria a gentle smile. "This place could use a few extra hands."

Artoria, always composed on the battlefield, found herself uncharacteristically nervous. Her blue eyes flickered with doubt, though she tried to hide it. She remembered the words he'd spoken years ago—he loved her, yet insecurities gnawed at her heart.

"I—" she started to speak but stopped herself. 'I shouldn't… He's already said he loves me,' she thought, but the uncertainty lingered. 'Does he find me less attractive because I appear… bigger than others?' She shook her head, trying to push those thoughts aside, though they still weighed on her heart.

{A/N: no you are overthinking Lartoria, Ritsuka loves you and two huge mountains}

Just then, Ritsuka's phone rang. It was Tony.

"Ritsuka, we've got a situation. Hammer's drones are compromised. Vanko is behind it. Potts is at the Expo," Tony said in a rush, his tone clipped.

Ritsuka then gave a telepathic message to karna with respectively. Karna who is trying to train his new powers came to his master as he got message.

Ritsuka's eyes narrowed as he turned his head toward Karna, who stood quietly infront of room, his expression ever stoic.

"Looks like we've got work to do,"Ritsuka said simply.

Karna nodded in understanding, his calm presence as reassuring as ever.

Before leaving, Ritsuka turned back to Artoria, who looked like she had something more to say but hesitated.
