CAVE - DAY 22
Tony flickers awake, disoriented. A tube protrudes from his nose. He sees Yinsen, humming a tune as he shaves by a broken mirror.
But more importantly right now --
There is a jug of water on the table.
Tony tries to speak, can't. It's the damn nasal tube. He pulls at it, gagging as two feet of tubing slithers from his nose.
TONY
(hoarse whisper)
...water...water.
Yinsen keeps humming. Tony yanks the IV from his arm and stretches for the water, but is stopped by --
A wire, under his chest bandages, snapping taut.
YINSEN
I wouldn't do that if I were you.
Tony follows the wire with his eyes and finds, to his horror, that it's hooked up to a car battery.
He starts clawing at his chest bandages. Yinsen turns.
Tony sees his ugly chest wound. It's too much. He swoons.how is this possible how did i come back to this cave.
Yinsen stirs a bubbling pot on the furnace. He flicks glances at Tony, waking up on the cot.
Tony eyes the bulky chest-piece protruding from his fresh bandages.
TONY
How am I alive? didn't I died in the battle using the gauntlet to snap as he whispered.
YINSEN
What gauntlet? what are you talking tony, have you gone crazy.
I anchored a magnetic suspension system to the plate.It's holding the shrapnel in place...at least for now.
as he was dazed he felt a sharp pain on his head while saying system integration completed in Fridays Artificial intelligence.
Friday is that you..but no response came
Tony struggles up, sits on the cot and notices something --
TONY'S POV: a surveillance camera on the cave wall.
YINSEN
That's right, smile. (then) We met once -- at a technical conference in Bern.
TONY
I remember you yinsen.
YINSEN
You wouldn't...., what did you say you remembered me hmmm that really shocking. If I'd been that
drunk, I wouldn't have been able to stand or remember anyone, much or less give a talk on integrated circuits on that day but you remembered me stark that really surprising.
TONY
this is really out of his knowledge how can I be alive theoretically, i died but however, my concision with a system in Friday's voice joined with this timeline version of me. where I have been taken hostage by the terrorist. --?
The door-slat flies open and a pair of dark eyes stare in. Yinsen drops his spoon, puts his hands on his head.
YINSEN
Stand up! Do as I do. Now!
Tony gets to his feet, can't get his hands up. Yinsen helps him.
YINSEN
Listen to me, whatever they ask you, refuse. Do you understand? You must refuse.
The door opens and ABU BAKAR enters with two armed Henchmen (Ahmed and Omar). On Ahmed's wrist, Tony notices --
Jimmy's bright orange METS watch (from the convoy earlier).
ABU
(in Arabic)
Welcome Tony Stark, the greatest mass murderer in the history of America. It's a great honor.
YINSEN
(translating for Abu)
He says welcome Tony Stark, the greatest mass murderer in the history of America. He is very
honored.
Abu looks Tony up and down like a prize horse, then --
ABU
(in Arabic)
I want you to build this for me -- the Jericho missile you were demonstrating.
Abu holds out a photo: a surveillance image of the Jericho
Missile launch.
YINSEN
(translation)
You will build for him Jericho missile you were demonstrating.
TONY
...He smirked, same as exactly he remembered exact words I did really came here hmm. I agree i will help you build so give me the materials I needed.
All of them shocked they didn't expect him to abide, but to everyone shock, he agreed easily.
good job tony haha you help me built it I will release you.
Tony
He smirked, last time I left you alive this time you will all die gruesomely.I am not the same tony you idiots he whispered to himself. when I died in the war after the snap I was 53 years old and with a lot of wisdom, no wonder people say with age comes wisdom seems it is true.
I have seen my closed one, friends die and there was lots of accumulated rage in me and now I somehow came back alive this time I vow to do things differently.
To do that I need to take a lot of life for a better future.I love You 3000
