"Ah, well, that was fun, JARVIS." Tony Stark leaned back in his Malibu Mansion sipping on one or two martinis.

"Indeed sir," replied JARVIS, speaking from the computer nearest to Tony Stark. "I am now running your newest program."

"You ARE?" Tony Stark glanced incredulously at the computer, then his TV again. "Hello, your program is supposed to switch to the MOST SIMILAR station that's not in a commercial break during commercial breaks, not go up one channel. I was just watching Criminal Minds on ION. Please tell me why you've switched to Shepherd Smith Reporting?"

"Sir, Fox News is currently the most similar channel to ION that's not in a commercial break, out of TLC, Food Network, and ESPN. It is 2:59 P.M., so I will switch back in ten seconds anyway. Pardon me for saying so, Mr. Stark, but sit back and relax. And sip your martini."

"Might as well. I should have known. You're always right."

"I know."

Tony leaned forward in his seat as the five cops on the television closed in on their arch-nemesis' house, where he was building illegal weapons to sell overseas.

"Sir?"

"YES, JARVIS?"

"Mr. Coulson from S.H.I.E.L.D. wishes to speak with you."

"Oh, all RIGHT. DVR this episode for me. I don't want to miss it."

"I have already done it, sir. My algorithms had already detected that is what you would have wished."

"Technically, JARVIS, those are MY algorithms."

"True, but you gave them to me. Anyhow, Coulson insists that you speak with him immediately."

Tony Stark, sighing, got up and went to his computer. He would've resisted, telling Coulson to stay on hold for an hour, but the last time that happened he had broken into the mansion himself to say hello.

Tony hit a button on the computer, and a live video feed of Agent Coulson showed up.

"We have big trouble at the helicarrier, Tony." Coulson said. "Looks like somebody has been trying to hack our systems. We need help fighting whoever is attacking us. Captain America is already here. Nick Fury orders you to get here immediately."

"Hmmm . . . " Tony stroked his chin. "Can you put ION on your giant plasma-screens?"

"We could, but not today, as we're busy monitoring all criminals and villains today for suspicious activities. If there's a villain attacking us, he likely has a vendetta against us."

"Oh, all RIGHT. I'll be there." Tony Stark hung up on Coulson. He hurried to his armor room, where he quickly assembled his suit and was soon flying to the helicarrier. As Iron Man was soaring through the skies, JARVIS told him Pepper Potts was calling.

"Hey, Tony. Where did you go?" She said. "I just bought you a new TV."

"Sweet. Just put it in any room that I don't already have a TV in."

"Okay, but you still didn't tell me where you went."

"Well, Pep, it looks like somebody in trying to cyberattack the S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters and they need a genius to defend them. Naturally, they hit me up."

Pepper giggled. "Well, don't be late for dinner."

"Okay." Iron Man chuckled. He wasn't the only one he knew who had a sense of humor. "Well, I'm here, and Coulson will likely set a dozen drones on me if I don't look him in the eye while he speaks, so I'm going to have to call you back."

Iron Man hung up and he landed on the helicarrier and walked up to Nick Fury. "Reporting for duty. What's the situation?"

Nick Fury narrowed his eyes. "The situation is DIRE, Iron Man. Our agents have noticed an increasing amount of hits to our server. I don't know all the specifics. Coulson can tell you."

Nick Fury and Iron Man went down to the server room. Everyone there was busy, trying to deter the hits. Coulson looked at him, relief appearing on the face.

"Finally," He said. "We need your help."

"Yep." Iron Man puffed up his chest. "People say that a lot."

Nick and Coulson stared at him. After a while, Nick Fury said, "Hmmm. I have more work to attend to. Coulson, tell him everything you know about this. I'll be back later."
