Tony got holed up in his workshop ignoring the commotion his announcement about Stark Industries latest decision had caused.
Many of Stark Industries Investors have withdrawn and sold their shares. Others are asking for a meeting with Stark.
But the man refused to meet anyone. The only person who had access to him at this time was Virginia Potts.
Still, she can only see him once a day for a very brief meeting.
Although there were still many people in the company who didn't lose faith in the Stark industries.
They had trust in the genius of Tony Stark.
Rather than panic, they were expectant of what genius invention he would be releasing soon.
Asides from this, the military had tried to talk Stark into continuing to make deals with them but was declined.
They even got his friend Rhodes to persuade him. So Although Rhodes knew it wouldn't work, he still tried and just as he expected Tony refused.
But Obadiah Stane has to be the most bitter of all. He got so angry one time that he punched his bedroom mirror, shattering it and injuring his first at the same time.
'Gotta admit he's pretty strong for a regular human compared to me,' Stark thought.
Tony knows this because he was spying on him with what he called his super-tiny-spy-device which he placed on Stane the last time they met.
It was an invention he made that allowed him to get video and audio while being in a camouflage state.
However, getting footage of Stane's anger outburst was the least of his interest. But gathering criminal evidence on the fellow was his biggest gain.
He now had concrete evidence of Stane working with terrorist groups, not limited to the Hand and even the Mandarin.
Mandarin, a powerful reoccurring Iron Man villain. Tony had plans for all his Villains. But he couldn't act on that yet until his basic survival measures were completed.
"Alright the blueprint for the Model II Armour is completed," Stark nodded on the holographic blueprint of his latest suit design.
Although he calls it the Model II or Mark 2 Armour its stats are comparable to many of his more advanced creations in the MCU.
It had extremely good mobility and high durability considering the enemies he might face anytime soon.
It also has camouflage technology and a cloaking system. Rechargeable lasers, powerful thrusters at the back of the suit to free up his hands so that he can attack and fly at the same time.
The suit will be fully functional under water and this specific addition was for the plan of fishing out Captain America before anyone does.
So this suit is built for versatility, durability and for battle and speed.
Tony turned and stretched his back and yawned.
"Okay, that's it for today. I need to get some rest. Tomorrow we build the Armour," Stark said as he looked at the time.
3:45 AM
---------------
"So you're saying you won't do it?"
"That's not what we are saying Mr. Stane. We have other plans but we will consider your offer. Kidnapping Stark and getting his technology blueprints will take some more planning."
Stane sighed in disappointment.
"Alright, we'll talk about that later. The things you want have been loaded in the Cargo."
"Good. Anyway Mr Stane, our leader wishes to give you protection from your current circumstances."
Obadiah Stane frowned at that. It had been three weeks since he had been on the run now. If it wasn't for the help of the Ten Rings he would have been likely to face the death sentence.
He was filled with much unwillingness. How evidence about his meetings with the Ten Rings have been leaked left him stunned.
But luckily for him the Ten Rings had good connections in high places and were able to alert him on time else he wouldn't have been able to escape.
But looking at the man before him he thought for a moment before nodding.
"I would gladly receive but you do know that this is the last of the weapons I have stored away. There won't be another transaction like this."
The man chuckled, "We know all about that Mr Stane, that's why-?!"
*Boom!*
"Lasefera lasefera!"
*Tatatatata!!*
Stane took cover immediately and brought out a gun from his side.
"What's going on?!"
"I should be asking you Mr. Stane. Did you reveal our meeting place?!"
"What? No."
"Shit! Our hideout has been compromised." The man cursed as he swiftly left the room with Stane following him while his men kept a watch on him.
"Report, what's the situation?" The man spoke to the communication device on him.
"We aren't sure Sir," responded a voice that was barely audible with gunshots and explosions.
"What do you mean you aren't sure? Who the hell is attacking!"
"Sir it seems to be some robot?"
"A robot?"
"I think it's a man in a metal suit!"
Stane's eyes widened in realization. "It's Tony Stark! It has to be!"
The man went silent and was prepared to give an order when an explosion rocked the entire place.
He quickly changes plans and ran to a secret hallway that led to another location where they will use to escape the place.
From the reports he had heard about Tony Stark's escape, he knew that he and his crew could not face him.
So the only way out was to escape.
Soon, they came out of another location and ran towards a car when a miniature missile landed on the vehicle just as they got close to it.
*Boom!*
The explosion pushed them all away and most of them passed out while the rest were disoriented from the explosion.
But they could vaguely make out a humanoid metalic-looking-figure descending from the skies and landing in front of them.
Soon the figure walked to a particular person and spoke.
"Hello, Stane. Missed me?"
