August stood on the street next to Stark. The pair were waiting for a car; a meeting with the company's shareholders was scheduled for today. They were concerned about the public announcement by the head of the company, Anita Stark, to stop producing and selling weapons.

The sale of weapons for Stark Industries was a major source of income. If the company gave up this market now, a dark future awaited it. Shareholders were worried about their money invested in the company. Many had already nicknamed Stark Industries a "sinking ship" and were trying to get rid of their stake in the company as soon as possible. Anita was quietly buying up her company's interest, thus strengthening her position.

The only people left in the company were the bigwigs - people who held huge blocks of shares. Obadiah organised the meeting with them and warned Anita at the last moment, two hours before it was due to start. Pepper was not in the villa at the time and Stark called Augustus to help her get out of the workshop and prepare to leave.Anita didn't let the mercenary into the workshop itself and made him wait for her near the exit. She didn't trust him enough to let him into her private workshop. There was already assembled almost finished prototype of one suit, which according to Stark's plan should give her back the ability to walk.

Augustus clenched his hand into a fist and smiled. Along with the recovery of his body, his powers had reached a whole new level. Previously, he was unable to reach the peak of his physical capabilities because of his injured body. Now, however, his body had completely recovered and was able to take peak form. Admittedly, these external changes of his were a bit stressful to the adult male.

After combining the skin shedding ability with the regenerative healing factor, a new ability was born. It worked almost the same way as a normal healing factor - only it had a small nuance. The user of this ability, after regenerating a body part, would lose pigment on it. Simply colouring. After receiving the ability, August underwent a complete regeneration of skin and hair, because of which he immediately "turned white". The new ability was also to blame for the snake eyes. This is the end of its negative aspects and the beginning of its positive ones.

Level 2 regeneration finally worked as a full-fledged superhero regeneration. It could regrow missing limbs, including organs. Only it had its limit, August didn't become immortal like Deadpool. Yes, he could now regrow a severed arm or a ripped out kidney, but if his head was torn off or half of his internal organs destroyed, he would die. Regeneration had definitely become more powerful, now he wasn't afraid to get involved in a clash of supers. Even if he lost, at least he could escape. Recover from his wounds, prepare himself, and return with renewed vigour.

August was pleased with his new ability, thanks to it he had reached his physical peak, regained his normal appearance, and gained a good amount of survivability.

A black car drove up to the villa, Happy got out of it and opened the back door. August loaded Stark into the cabin, and folded the wheelchair into the open boot.

Anita called Happy to drive them to the main headquarters of Stark Industries. It was there that the shareholders' meeting was taking place, which Stark had to attend. The journey from the villa to the company headquarters didn't take long, they arrived on time. They still had another ten minutes to spare.

The appearance of an armed mercenary in the lobby of Stark Industries had raised a lot of commotion. Anita's presence next to August had stabilised the situation a little, but people still looked at the mercenary with apprehension. The armoured suit and weapons attracted too much attention.

- I'll have to dress you better next time. You look like a typical villain in that suit, so people are afraid of you.

- This suit protects my body, that's why I wear it. I don't care what people think," August Stark replied as he rolled her wheelchair into the lift.

The shareholders' meeting was being held on the upper floors. Mercenary and Anita arrived just as the meeting was about to begin. All the shareholders were already present in their seats and with their guards.

With Stark's arrival, the meeting began. The main person at the meeting was Obadiah, who spoke on behalf of the shareholders. From the woman's speech, it was clear that none of the shareholders supported Anita in changing the internal policy of the company. They couldn't remove Stark from her position either, they didn't have enough shares in the company to do so. So they tried to reason with her in a rather rude manner, showing her graphs and making pessimistic plans for the future.

Augustus' eyes squinted beneath his mask and he looked around. The man was trying to find the lurking mercenaries and how did he not notice them right away? But no matter how many times he looked at the shareholders and their bodyguards, he couldn't spot any supers.

"Then where are they?"

Anita fended off another verbal assault from Obadiah. She was halfway interrupted by a siren going off. Red lights flickered on the ceiling of the auditorium and a message about an unknown attack played on the loudspeakers to announce important events.The fat-cat guards became alarmed and gathered around their employers. Augustus took his pistols off the safeties, but did not take them out yet.

- What are we waiting for?! Hurry to the secret lift! - shouted an older woman, one of the bigwigs, and led the guards to an unremarkable door. She was followed by two other women and their guards.

August decided to take his time and think it over. The system wouldn't give out a mission if it was so easy to complete. There had to be a catch here for sure.

The doors of the private lift opened and there was the shrill voice of a full-figured woman running first to the lift. Gunshots and screams rang out. An imperceptible shiver ran through August's body, adrenaline beginning to rush into his bloodstream.

He picked up the pram with the shocked Stark and wheeled her away from the lift. The mercenary was going to escape the same way they had come here. Realising there was a problem with the "secret" lift. Or rather, a problem had come out of it.

Ten centimetres away from August flew the torn body of one of the bodyguards. The man turned around and stumbled into the thrower. A black-haired girl in a mechanical futuristic suit, with an iron tail behind her. It was with that tail that she had used to throw the arm-torn body at Augustus.

- Where are you going? - The girl licked erotically, piercing another victim with her tail.

- Scorpia," Augustus exhaled. He'd seen a bit of information on this supervillain on the internet. She used to serve in the Special Forces, then after a serious injury she underwent voluntary experiments and stole a laboratory prototype of a super-soldier suit, later refining it.

An unknown serum made her a brilliant biological engineer and gave her superhuman capabilities. Under no circumstances did Augustus wish to face such a serious adversary now.

Kicking the door out of the conference room with his foot, the man with Stark in the chair ran at full speed towards the communal lift. Reaching it, the mercenary pressed the call button. Anita watched in silence as Scorpia exterminated the people in the conference room. Thanks to a bunch of bodyguards, the supervillain was temporarily unable to reach them. That was enough time to take the communal lift down to the ground floor and get out from there.

The floor lights above the lift were flashing slowly. The lift was going up to the top floor. Scorpia spewed a poisonous mist from its stinger and ran towards August with a laugh.

The mercenary drew his prepared pistols and opened fire. With his particular accuracy, several bullets hit critical spots in the supervillain's armour, temporarily immobilising her.

The lift behind opened and August's sense of danger kicked in frantically. The man managed to get his left arm up in time for a powerful blow. It was the first time he had experienced such pain, it was as if he had been hit by a lorry at speed. All the bones in his arm were mercilessly broken into small pieces and the limb sagged like a whip.

- Greetings, mercenary boy. I'm surprised you were able to withstand my blow," another supervillain in a yellow suit came out of the lift. Her hands were wearing special knuckle gloves that made a resounding clang. - Don't bother me, I'm only here for Anita Stark. If you give her to me willingly, I won't hurt you.

- Hey! Frigid fucking woman, don't promise him things! If you don't want it, I'll take it! - Scorpius pulled back from her injuries and approached Augustus with Stark.

The man looked at the two supervillains and swore to himself.

"Fucking hell! Marvel's canon is written for who! Why is this happening in an Iron Man story?! Who is that woman in the yellow jumpsuit?!"
