"Really? That's awesome. I loved the iron blood alchemist. Its a pity that he got killed so easily. Wait since you have Scar's tattoos we should have a fight later when I research on iron alchemy. This time I will defeat you and take back the glory of iron alchemy. " Tony said with fighting spirit.

"Sure. But first detoxify yourself. We both need to practice on it." John said after giving the USB drive. Tony took the drive and put it on the table and said.

"Jarvis make a private folder labelled as Alchemy and give highest security to it. Nobody except me, Bruce and John will have access to it."

"No. The knowledge of Alchemy can never be accessed or saved in a computer which is connected by the Internet. Even Jarvis can't get access to it." John stopped Tony as future Ultron might be a problem if he learns alchemy.

"Huh are you sure about that?" Tony said little puzzled.

"Yes. Never in any computer with internet ." John insisted.

"Fine."

Bruce won't accompany for the hearing as that might lead to speculations of him being Batman. Tony had his first entrance for his Expo that night so he got busy. So he didn't get much time to study alkahestry but they both went through the knowledge. Both were excited and worked up. While John gave some tips to it. He was sure they both would get more out of this knowledge instead of him as they both were geniuses.

At the Stark Expo, Tony landed from an airplane using his Iron Man suit like in the movie and gave a speech for leaving a legacy.

".. tonight we have two guests for you. Ladies and Gentlemen. He has the same influence as me, well maybe a little less as he is not a superhero but a great man nonetheless. Please welcome, the teenager who creates miracles everyday, Mr. John Jameson and followed by my father Howard Stark." Tony ended his speech by that.

John came out from behind the stand and said

"Thank you Mr. Stark for the compliment. Well I might not be a superhero but I can definitely be of help to the society. Welcome you all to the Stark Expo. I too will be investing money in this and hope you all can join your minds together and help innovate new ideas and inventions." John said as he got a loud applause. John like Tony was very famous as he had his hands on so many things that his existence was now very crucial for the functioning of a society.

"Let's not hold you all for too much time and welcome Mr. Howard Stark." John continued.

After the end of Expo they went back to Tony's place and slept as they had a flight the next day to Washington DC.

Tony and John accompanied by Pepper reached the building of senate hearing. They both took their seats.

"Mr. Stark, please pay attention." said the senator who took charge in the hearing.

Tony who was busy talking with Pepper turned his head and said "Yes dear." This made everyone laugh out loud.

"Do you or do you not possess a specialized weapon?" the senator said.

"I do not." Tony replied without hesitation.

"Then what is the Iron Man weapon?" the senator asked.

"My device doesn't fit that description." Tony replied again.

"Then how will you describe it?" the senator asked

"It's a uh.. umm.. it's a high tech prosthesis." Tony replied and everybody started laughing at this answer

"It is a weapon Mr. Stark. It should be handed to the people of the United States." the senator said with a higher voice.

"You can forget it. I am Iron Man. Me and the suit are one. Turning it over will be equal to servitude or prostitute depending on what state I am in." Tony replied and everybody again laughed at it.

"I am not an expert in weapons but we have somebody who is. I would like to call Justin Hammer, our current primary weapons contractor."

"Justin, haha, an expert? what a joke." Tony said out loud

"I am no expert Tony as compared to you of course" Justin replied. The Justin went on to give a speech of how dangerous the world was and that America needed technology like Tony's who was adamant on using it as a shield.

The senate called Colonel Rhodes this time and asked him to say about his doubts which he submitted before to the military. Rhodes mentioned that it would be unfair as there was a huge report he made about it. Then Rhodes showed how different countries were trying to make weapons such as Iron Man's suit.

Tony brought out his mobile and said in a low voice "Cinch, hack into them and show them the results. Work your magic."

The small mobile immediately started working on it's own and soon the images on the screen changed to the scenes of actual results where countries failed to make Iron Man suit and even lost men due to it. It even showed Justin Hammer's research on the suit where he failed to make a successful test and even the guy in the suit seemed injured.

"The countries might be 5 6 years behind in replicating my suit. But Hammer Industries is at least 10 15 years behind. You should thank me. I am your nuclear deterrent. It's working, we are safe. America is safe. You want my property you cant' have it. I have successfully privatized world peace." Tony said with confidence as everybody gave a standing ovation.
