🕑 Added 2023-01-11 18:50:34 +0000 UTCAs all of the Dwarves turned their heads to see Peter and the golden portal closing behind him.
Each of them took hold of their hammers or other nearby tools, ready to fight at any moment.
“What do you want?!” King Eitri’s voice boomed as he stomped over, surrounded by an army of glaring dwarves at his back.
“I have a letter from Thor Odinson.” Peter says as a small portal opens and the letter falls into his waiting hand.
“Give it here.” Eitri holds out his hand expectantly.
Walking up to him with the letter in hand, the smaller dwarves protectively stepped in front of their king and held up their weapons.
“I’ll take it.” An older dwarf stepped out of the crowd and held out his hand.
“...” Without making any comments, as Peter needed to make a good impression, he handed the letter to the elderly man and took a step back.
Everyone shuffled out of the way as the elderly Dwarf hobbled toward the king and handed off the letter.
Pinching the small piece of paper with his giant fingers, King Eitri examined the seal before turning to Peter with a curious gaze.
“You are not Asgardian...” Eitri says questioningly.
“No, I’m a friend of Thor’s from Midgard.” Peter answers with a shake of his head.
“I see...” Eitri mutters as he breaks the seal and unfolds the letter. “Hmm... Hahahaha!”
After reading the letter for just a second, the King burst out into uncontrollable laughter.
“?” Peter and even the surrounding Dwarves stared at Eitri in confusion.
“Do you know what this says?” King Eitri asks as his laughter subsides.
“No idea.” Peter shrugs unknowingly.
“Have a look.” He says and tossed the letter back to Peter, who caught it with ease.
‘Dear, King Eitri
Give my friend whatever he wants
Ps, If you don’t he’ll kick your a*s
-Thor Odinson, King of Asgard and the Nine Realms’
“...” Peter didn’t believe his eyes as he re-read the letter for a second and third time. “Sigh, if it makes you feel better, I believe Thor may have written this at my welcome feast, so he was most likely drunk.”
“He takes after his father, I see.” Eitri says with a small laugh.
“I’ve only met Odin once and I can say for sure that I wouldn’t make the same comparison.” Peter comments in confusion.
“Well, Odin wasn’t always the wise King. He was once a drunken buffoon too.” Eitri laughs as he remembers times long forgotten.
“It’s hard to picture a Thor-like Odin, but let’s just hope that Thor can go through a similar transformation as well.” Peter says with a shrug.
“So, what do you want?” Eitri asks as the Dwarves start to slowly let their guard down.
“I have a few blueprints that I need forged.” Peter says as another portal opens beside him.
Reaching inside, Peter pulled out six large rolled-up blueprints. Each of them had different and confusing drawings in them, though everything was labeled with measurements and materials down to the smallest detail.
This time, since the Dwarves were a bit more relaxed, Peter walked up and handed over the blueprints himself.
“Hmm...” Eitri hummed as he skimmed over each blueprint one by one. “What is this?”
“Components to a few different projects that I’ve been working on.” Peter says with a shrug. “I don’t have the skill or the means to make these parts myself, so here I am.”
“I don’t know...” The King muttered as he usually didn’t like making things without full knowledge of the final product.
“If the referral from Thor isn’t enough, I can pay for your service in some way.” Peter says enticingly.
“What do you have in mind?” The King asks, though he wasn’t very convinced.
“If you look at the blueprints, you’ll see a material named Vibranium listed on every one.” Peter says as Eitri looks them over, finding that exact material. “If you personally accept and craft my order, I’ll supply you with double the amount of Vibranium mentioned on the blueprints.”
“What is this material?” Eitri asks as he has never heard of anything by that name.
“Vibranium is a super metal...” Peter says as he explains all that he knew.
In a pure mass, Vibranium forms a solid metal that is stronger than steel, but only a third of the weight, as well as being completely vibration absorbent.
This makes it nearly indestructible, as any attempt to physically damage the material will be negated on a molecular level, as mechanical/kinetic energy will be absorbed instead of breaking any bonds in its molecular structure.
In general, this means that vibranium can absorb a wide variety of physical impacts, without taking any damage or weakening.
Vibranium also deflects kinetic energy.
Captain America's shield, for example, was able to deflect high-caliber bullets, Iron Man's repulsor beams, and even an impact from Mjølnir itself.
Though, vibranium isn’t just a metal, as the Wakandans sew it into their clothes and use it to power their city, technology, and weapons.
“...” The longer Peter talked, the more each Dwarf, including King Eitri himself, stared in his direction with hungry eyes and watering mouths.
“...Basically, Vibranium is a very useful and powerful metal.” Peter finished his explanation.
The room stayed silent for a moment before every Dwarf in the forge started yelling, offering up anything they could for just a small chunk of Vibranium.
“Ahem...” King Eitri loudly cleared his throat, signaling his underlings to shut their mouths, which they did. “Do you have this metal with you?”
“No, I have to get it, but it won’t take me long.” Peter says with confidence.
“Alright, bring the metal and you have a deal.” The king says as he stashes the blueprints into his pocket. “I’ll complete the order myself as well.”
“Sound good to me.” Peter nods as he opens a portal behind himself. “I’ll be back when I have the Vibranium.”
Stepping through the portal, Peter returned to his bedroom in Asgard, where he sighed in relief and flopped down next to MJ on the bed.
‘That went as well as I could have hoped...’ Peter thought as the worry he felt slowly faded away.
The reason for his worry was the blueprints, which took him a long time to make, mainly for two reasons.
Firstly, the blueprints are pieces to a very complicated puzzle, which Peter spent countless days tweaking in order to make them as confusing and nonsensical as possible.
Though he did this for a very important reason.
When all six blueprints are put together with a bit of magical and technological assistance, they will create the perfect conduit, which can be used to wield the Infinity Stones.
Well, Peter hoped it could be used to wield the Stones. He would only know for sure after testing out the finished product.
‘Without knowledge in the Mystic Arts, Eitri shouldn’t be able to figure out the true function of the things he’s making.’ Peter thought reassuringly.
Once the conduit is completed, Peter can use it to create the thing he’ll use to wield the Infinity Stones.
‘I wonder what I should make?’ Peter thought to himself as he cuddled next to MJ. ‘A gauntlet, like Thanos, would be cool, but maybe I should make something a bit more original, like a necklace or...’
(A/N: Give me ideas because I’m actually not sure what to give him.)
While thinking of possible ideas, Peter thought of the hidden and advanced city of Wakanda and his needed acquisition of their most precious metal.
‘Should I just rob them or ask nicely?’ Peter asked himself as he stared up at the ceiling.
Taking a few pounds of Vibranium while under invisibility will most likely go unnoticed, as Wakanda has a literal mountain's worth of the stuff.
On the other hand, asking nicely opens Peter up to the possibility of hearing the word no.
Suddenly, as he was thinking this, Peter remembered another person who stole from Wakanda as well.
‘Doesn’t Ulysses Klaue have a lot of Vibranium?’ Peter thought as he remembered the black market arms dealer who stole from Wakanda in the 90s.
A smile formed on Peter's lips as he came to an easy conclusion.
Either steal from a peaceful nation or a wanted criminal? The answer was simple.
‘Where is Klaue?’

Noiz
Maybe wear them on his suit like Ultron/Vision from the What If? series. The dwarves might be less suspicious if they think they're just helping make a new suit.
Lionssolitude
Or go Excalibur
