Issue 9 - We open with Iron Man flying in his Improvised Armor. He is going to try and free Melinda May from the Red Widow. Vishte is to stay behind. He begins to reflect when his parents told him they were agents of Latveria and his Latverian name was Artem. His life as a Symkarian child was a lie. He now stands before Dr. Doom, and his parents are taken away. Then, we go back to Azerbaijan at a Winter Guard safe house where Melinda May is tied up but offered a drink. The Red Widow offers Commander Hunyadi a deal leaving Tony's group cut out. The Black Widow and Winter Soldier attack. They fight and take down the Winter Guard. Doom uses magic to defeat the uprising through phones and through the area. Bucky puts on the Crimson Dynamo armor. Then, Iron Man shows up with Victorious to stop the traitors of Doom. Tony adds additions from his armor to the Dynamo armor Bucky controls. They want the appearance of a Russian victory over traitors of Doom. Viste shows and kills Hunyadi. Victorious takes the Winter Guard away to a Latverian prison. The additions were the recent Iron Monger armor infused with black magic. Viste takes away the black magic out of the armor and makes an armor powerful enough to take on Doom - Viste wears the armor that looks like another Dr. Doom with the evil magic. Issue 8 - Opens in Erbil, Iraq with Commander Hunyadi of the Latverian Patriotic Front meeting with Melinda May as a liaison of Tony Stark when the Winter Guard attack. We then go to Tony playing basketball with Vishte. Vishte talks about how he learned magic and hopes to overthrow Doom on the astral plan. Tony reminds him that Dr. Doom is the Sorcerer Supreme right now. Tony gets Melinda's request to put a software patch on the LPF's phones through the Doom Dome. Vishte says he can handle this. Iron GPT (Tony's A.I.) tries to alert Tony of something wrong at Stark's factory in upstate New York. The union is protesting and not producing the weapons for Doom. Iron Man heads back to NY with Vishte. The STRIKE BREAKERS (ex SHIELD agents hired as Security) begin to break up the strike violently when Iron Man stops it with his Repulsword. Ramon the Union leader and Tony talk in private. The union is not lifting another finger until Stark gives them a contract. Tony tries to explain that production may prevent war with Dr. Doom. Ramon says no. Iron Man leaves. Iron Man finds Black Widow who begins attacking asking Tony to shut down weapons manufacturing, or she will be back with the Avengers. Iron Man returns to talk to Ramon who asks for a seat on the board of directors. Tony gives him 3 seats on an 8 person board to get the weapons restarted and gets a message from Red Widow holding Melinda and Hunyadi.
