Chapter 28: monaco biscuits
[There was a change in last chapter, now it is-
-Bruce picks up his mobile to bring it close to his face, "Buy us a slot in the Stark expo, liquidate all the Stark stocks and Stock that have reached their potential, and keep the money on hold till further instructions "-
The stock part is new] [Also I am not mindlessly adding the script part, I need it to play a bigger part here, I hope Monaco does not have Lèse-majesté, for I am integrating the royal family as an antagonist under the hand of the Hydra, I dont intent to offend anyone]

/airport/
Bruce walks down the stairs, in casualwear. The portable stairs unhooked as the last of the passengers landed afoot.
Mr. Wayne pulls his bag back into the airport, walking straight to the check-in without any hitch.
"Can I see your passport sir?'
"Here you are."
"Are you a tourist or here on business?" The girl asks Bruce as she stamps on some paper before him.
"A bit of both actually."
"Monaco is famous for our grand prix, if you have time to do so, I would recommend getting yourself a seat there, sir."
"So I have been told." He replies with a smile.
"Hey we don't have all day here! Do your job missy." A man from the back shouts, earning himself quite some stares. The girl abides by his demand as she does her work with an advanced pace.
"Do you have anything to declare?" Bruce gives himself a moment, only to deny anything out of regulations to be have checked.
"Welcome to Monaco, Mr. Wayne, may your memories here be one you could relish."
"I am already enjoying."

Bruce pulls is luggage outside, taking a cab to the hotel Monte Carlo, room no. 31.3.
Opening his bag reveals his set of suits, clothes and some papers. Bruce pulls his phone charger, charging his mobile near the window plug, while typing something and aiming towards the sky.
In the calm sky, something was out of the place. A minute after, his phone beeps with a red light, while Bruce puts his phone down while standing next to the window.
At the same time he receives a push, one that got him to take a step back, which reveals to be some sort of sky colored bag, before bound to a stealth drone, part of the new underdevelopment batwing.
He puts the bag on the bed, opening its zip to reveal something dark, his gear. {pic} [If I forget it is batman stealth suit]

<On TV>
Tony shows the videos where various countries and organization were trying to make their own Iron man armors. Justin finds the plug and unplugs the screen.
"Wow. Yeah, I'd say most countries, five, ten years away. Hammer Industries, twenty." Tony smiles. Hammer dusts off as he comes back to his seat.
"I'd like to point out that that test pilot survived." He confesses.
The Senator takes back his mike. "I think we're done is the point that he's making. I don't think there's any reason…" he scoffs as things took an opposite turn to what he had in mind.
"The point is, you're welcome, I guess"
"For what?" Another Senator cuts Stern. Due to the Bat's intervention, this time the senator's desk had more people on the neutral side as Fury now had a list for people to look out for, and a potential Hydra senator going after the scion of one of S.H.I.E.L.D. founders was not something he would welcome wholeheartedly.
That too while the scion gave more and more golden eggs, which could be one day be in the hands of S.H.I.E.L.D.
"Because I'm your nuclear deterrent. It's working. We're safe. America is secure. You want my property? You can't have it. But I did you a big favour." He stands up and turns around to face the crowd, exclaiming earnestly.
"I've successfully privatized world peace." Both of his hands make peace signs and everyone stands up, all talking at once.
"What more do you want? For now! I tried to play ball with these ass-clowns." He replies to the frowning Pepper.
"Fuck you, Mr. Stark. Fuck you, buddy. We're adjourned. We're adjourned for today." The senator leaves while giving the best of his wishes to Tony.
Tony puts on his sunglasses. Rhodey's still sitting down and has the same look on his face as Pepper did. Basically, they're both tired of Tony not taking serious things seriously. "Okay." Tony gives back flying kisses to the senator.
"You've been a delight." Senator Stern replies with utmost sincerity in his voice.
[On the television on a Russian news channel with Russian dubbing. Because it's a film where the selected language is English, we can still here the English clearer than the Russian. We're back to Ivan.]
<TV> Tony (on TV): "My bond is with the people. And I will serve this great nation at the pleasure of myself. If there's one thing I've proven it's that you can count on me to pleasure myself." <TV>
Ivan scoffs as he gives the wire more turns, enveloping the circular coil.

Grimaldi
The House of Grimaldi is the current reigning house of the Principality of Monaco. The house was founded in 1160 by Grimaldo Canella in Genoa and became the ruling house of Monaco when Francesco Grimaldi captured Monaco in 1297. The House of Grimaldi has produced every Prince of Monaco.
Adriane Grimaldi, Princess of Monaco
The current head of the Grimaldi family along with the CEO of the Grimaldi group that rule the Principality of Monaco.
But there was something that most people didn't know.
Adriane Grimaldi wasn't a Grimaldi. She had been one from the cadet branch, Grimaldi de Puget, nowhere nearby the seat of power among the ruling family or the group. But she had acquired support, support of one of the most heinous and infamous organizations underworld, the Hand.
She used their support to get past the six in line of the head, to get the place for herself. One may think her to be incompetent to use foreign power to get a push in family matters, but Adriane was a cunning women, blessed in the matters of mind and speech.
After acquiring the place she coveted for so long in 1997, her focus shifted to get out of the grasp of the Hand, which was initially an Asia based underworld group. But she did not just get herself out of their hold, in just five years she got from a pawn in the hands of the Hand and by extension the Hydra, to being the leader of the Hand organizations, spreading its paws into Europe and United states en masse.
She, now at the age of 48, was one of the most powerful women in the world, both on surface and under the surface.
Recently her operations in the US were non-existent as she had called off all the personnel after repetitive failures for a whole year. The money invested had gone hay-wire and she was losing more important things like human resource.
While Hydra held a firm grasp on the Hand, she had grown out too big for them to keep the grasp as firm as it was under the previous head, Madame Gao a decade ago.
Their last operations in the US was of nabbing the undersecretary of Bruce Wayne. It was actually not a sanctioned order. The head of operations of US was getting reprimanded due to his failures, so under pressure of achieving any sort of success, he leaped to the rising billionaire's girl, in hope for getting some control over one of the most coveted commodity for spying and media control for their organization, the Instagram.
As the head of operations he was of course left some authority to take his own decisions and he did that only.
He just did not know that what he was getting himself and the Hand into...
A somewhat rageful Batman, insecure and afraid from losing men under him, losing his protégé Robin(s) in the hands of Joker and much more.
Hiding his pain and grief to lose anything else, the Bat had a special spot for kidnappings of people under him.
