So, yeah.  I'm still only establishing Shirou's daily life in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.  I hope you like it.

Ruby:  That's it.  That's all your putting.

Shut up, Ruby.  (Grabs and stretches Ruby's circle).  I'm bored.

Two weeks after the Kaleid Reflecta Magica Widow event (Ruby had named Natasha's magical girl form), Shirou had decided that he needed a to stop mooching off of SHIELD.  So he asked Fury, who seemed to like having the idea of keeping Shirou busy when SHIELD was unable to make use of him.

Shirou had opened a nice little cafe in Manhattan.  It was a simple little place, but Shirou knew he could easily make it the most popular place in New York.  Shirou decided to make the cafe a book maid cafe.  Due to its amounts of books and entertainment, he decided to name the place Akasha.  A week later, Shirou had set up everything up, and he even summoned some Servants to assist him in battle and to help around the cafe.  The Servants he summoned were Lancer Cu Chulainn, Rider Medusa, Assassin Stheno, Archer Euryale, Caster Tamamo no Mae, Avenger Edmond Dantes, Lancer Diarmuid Ua Duibhne, and Berserker Kiyohime.  Each of those Servants are powerful and play important roles in his cafe.  Stheno, Euryale, and Medusa act as female maid waitresses, while Cu Chulainn and Diarmuid are male butler waiters.  Tamamo no Mae and Kiyohime act as the cooks, with each of them having decent cooking skills.  Nothing compared to him, but they have potential.  Edmond Dantes, with his Golden Rule skill, was manager.  With his abilities, the cafe would easily gain cash.

Shirou had Stheno and Euryale handing out flyers to strangers.  Stheno, Euryale, and Medusa gladly serve Shirou due to him reuniting them.  Edmond and Diarmuid loyally serves him and Cu Chulainn only agreed to do this to meet women.  He had some trouble with Tamamo no Mae and Kiyohime, but once he convinced them that they weren't in love with him, they sword loyalty to him for not manipulating them.

At the grand opening, the whole cafe was swamped.  It was very busy, but overall, it was a success.  Shirou looked around and smiled at the customers.  Today was a good day.

10 hours later

Shirou was happy.  His cafe was an outstanding success.  Everything went well.  The customers tended to stare at his staff in awe.  Diarmuid got lots of attention, probably due to his love spot.  Shirou had used a special make up to weaken it, so it wasn't as bad as it could have been.  Almost everybody was gone except one table.  Shirou went over there to surprisingly find Steve, Tony, Bruce, Clint, and Maria.

"Hey, guys," Shirou said.  "What are you doing here?"

"You didn't think we'd miss your grand opening, did you Emiya?" Maria ask

"Well to be honest," Shirou said, "I wasn't expecting it.  So, how was the food?"

"Delicious," Steve said.  "And the service was great!"

"Yeah, where'd you find your staff," Tony said, staring at Medusa.

"Tony, don't make me call Pepper," Bruce said, though he was also staring at the waitresses.

"Hypocrite," Tony muttered.

"They're Servants," Shirou said.  "Special familiars I summoned.  They can't leave the building due to the cafe acting as an anchor for them."

"So you have maid Servants who do your every command," Clint said, smiling.  "My, my, Emiya.  I didn't realize you were like this."

Shirou laughed.  "Well, they do owe me.  However, I'd never take advantage of a woman.  Though from what I hear, Tony use to do things like that."

"That was a long time ago," Tony shrugged off the insult.  "Anyways, Emiya, I'm interested in this magecraft thing.  How does it work?"

"It's complicated.  Let me give an example," Shirou moved Steve and Tony to a table.  "I want you two to arm wrestle."

Tony stared at Shirou.  "His arms are as big as my head," Tony complained.  "Can I wear my suit?"

"No," Shirou replied.  "Just do it."

The two put their right arm on the table and prepared to start.  Unbeknownst to them, Shirou quickly casted a reinforcement spell on Tony's arm.

"My money's on Cap," Clint said to Maria.

"I'll put my money on Tony," Shirou said.

"Are you kidding, Cap's super buff?" Clint exclaimed.  He then turned.  "Fifty bucks?"

"Deal," Shirou said.  "And start."

In an instant, Tony had slammed Steve's hand into the table.

"Ow!" Steve yelled, holding his arm in pain.

Tony looked at his arm in disbelief.  Getting over the shock, he jumped and yelled, "I won!  I beat Captain freaking America in arm wrestling."

Clint and Bruce had their jaws dropped and Maria looked surprised.  "Pay up," Shirou told Clint.

"You cheating little-" Clint muttered, getting out his wallet and handing Shirou the money.

"How'd you do that?" Maria asked Shirou.

"My specialty," Shirou said.  "Physical manipulation magecraft.  I can enhance objects, add properties, and create objects.  I had reinforced Tony's arm, increasing his physical strength to superhuman levels.  It's only temporary though."

"Really," Bruce said.  "You can modify yourself with magic, I mean magecraft."

"Yeah," Shirou said.  "I can enhance my physical abilities and senses to further enhance my already superhuman abilities.  I can easily beat the crap out of anybody who pisses me off."

"Speaking of angry, violent redheads," Tony said to Clint.  "Where's Natasha?"

"Do you really want me to tell Nat that you called her that?" Clint asked.

Tony paled.  "Oh, god, no!" he begged.

Smiling at Tony's reaction, Clint said, "Nat's a little embarrassed from the you know what event."

Clint then took out a pen and paper and wrote:  If you value you're lives, don't say anything.  I think she's got me bugged.

The group looked at each other, then murmured in understanding.  They knew that if anyone of them even acknowledged that event, the Black Widow would personally hunt them down and assassinate them.

"So anyways," Steve said, still holding his hand.  "Thanks for letting us come.  See ya!"

And after the numerous goodbyes from the group, he was left alone.  The familiars were relaxing in spiritual form.  Shirou smiled, happy.  Today was a good day.

That's the end of this chapter.  I'm sorry if some of the characters were a bit rushed and that I may have rushed it.  I've just been swamped with everything.

Sapphire: You really should update more often, author.

Ruby: Yeah!  I want more screen time.

Deadpool: Ooo.  Ooo.  Me too.

(Ruby, Sapphire, and I jump in surprise.)

Where'd you come from!

Ruby: Ahh!  Weird stranger!

Sapphire:  Who are you?

Deadpool:  I'm Deadpool, duh.  And I'm here to 'convince' you to make the next chapter about me.

(Deadpool unsheathes his swords)

Oh, crap.
