Day by day is worse for Tony, he who ate everything he want is now only getting gruel or food with dust, he who slept with models on comfortable beds is now sleeping on a table without a blanket, and his thoughts everyday his guilt towards the kid he abandoned began to come back to him.
Tony is gradually expiriencing a huge change in personality, he was a playboy and slept with many women but all this time in the cave he didn't remember them at all, all he can remember are 2 persons his secretary pepper Potts and the child he abandoned.
Even yinsen is getting concerned about Tony and asked what is he thinking? Tony just shook his head and wanted to get out of this place and made things right for the 2 persons he is remembering everyday.
Gradually Tony is changing into someone else while he himself didn't notice it but yinsen on the other hand is looking at Tony who is changing in such short time felt Tony is slowly realising his responsibilities and the mistakes he did.
Yinsen smiled at this at first he didn't like Tony at all and only has pity but gradually yinsen who lost his family and hope to live gradually started to help tiny to gain a new life, he even decided if it means to give his life to grant Tony another life he'll do that.
Tony is also working hard to escaoe the cave, he worked very hard to build the armour parts and all its left is to attach them together, but today they faced a problem the terrorists only gave them a day to assemble the missile.
Tony started to assemble them after the finishing of framework and while they're doing this the terrorists appeared in order buy time for Tony who is stuck in yhe armour yinsen goes to face them.
After Tony saw the program finish he immediately goes to see yinsen and found him in his last breaths, yinsen told him to waste time and took his last breath and Tony escaped the base with his armour.
Rhodes found him and joked how was the fun while telling him take a ride with him next time, Tony who escaped and arrived to USA saw pepper with red eyes and his heart felt warm.
While in car when pepper suggested he goes to hospital Tony orotested and said he has 3 things to do, a cheese burger, a press conference and the child he abandoned.
Pepper is shocked when Tony mentioned this and also felt a some guilt, she could've taken the child under her care when Tony chose to abandone him in an orphanage.
But she didn't and chose not to do anything due to consequences she may face.
After Tony told the media about closing weapon department he immediately goes to Jarvis and told the AI to hack through anything in order to find a child named Ethan hunt.
Jarvis also hacked government sites and found Ethan hunt, after Tony read all the information about Ethan he couldn't help but feel much more guilt, it's much worse than he thought.
The more he read about Ethan, the more he felt regret and guilt. He read how Ethan is injected multiple mutant genes and has to go through the same gene collapse and reconstruction everyday.
At one point he couldn't read or saw anymore and closed the information then took a deep breath, he didn't notice pepper also seeing all this after she came to Tony to give him the schedule and the meetings from the industries.
When she saw Ethan's treatment and also read about him she couldn't help but shed tears, they not only injected the mutant genes but also gave him brainwashing, painful torture and assassin training along with combat training in which more than 10 agents beat him up.
Tony who saw pepper want to ask when did she get here but when he saw her look of blame he became silent with his head down and asked Jarvis to locate Ethan.
Just then Jarvis also gave Tony the information to Tony about Ethan buying stark shares in bulk and about 7% shares being in Ethan's hands.
This made him broke in cold sweat and imagined Ethan to be hostile to him, Tony thought Ethan bought the shares to take revenge against Tony, so he decided meet Ethan.
