The Crash Site Chapter 1

Two scientists were on the scene of the crash site. There wasn't much to look at. There was rubble everywhere. There was even a small fire near the nose of the plane. Smoke billowed out of what used to be the engine and the plane was soaked from the previous fires that had been extinguished by the firefighters that had come about ten minutes ago. This plane had belonged to the smartest man in the world (well the smartest not including his son). This plane had belonged to Howard Stark. The scientists had been sent there to see if any of Howard's work could be salvaged from the rubble of this plane crash. They were searching through scrap metal when they noticed a flickering light to the left of one of the plane wings. The scientists slowly approached the light and there on the ground was the billionaire's son. He had red, glove like things going up to his elbow on both of his arms, with a dome of blue electricity surrounding his body. The young billionare had a faint pulse and a glowing beam coming from a tear in his shirt. The circular light had a faint glow, the circle was latched into the boy's chest had a small crack through the middle and made an electronic thudding noise just about every second. The boy was not moving and he looked just about dead. The scientists knew one thing, they had to get this boy to a hospital, and fast.

When Tony Stark was securely on the helicopter that was going to take him to the hospital, the two scientists continued to search the rubble. They found bits and pieces of a binder with some notes in them, all pertaining to the Malkulan Rings. They searched for another two hours and all they had found was words and snippets to some of Howards notes, none of which were salvageable. At last they had found what they were looking for. A polished red ring stood among the black ash. The first Malkulan The scientists thought of searching through the rest of the rubble, they both agreed that they had enough excitement for the day.

-MEANWHILE AT THE HOSPIATAL-

The young teens heart slowly rose and fall as the doctors cut his shirt and bandaging off. There were only two doctors in the room and they were both shocked at the sight of Tony's heart. They looked at each other and their faces told it all, there was nothing they could do to help this boy, but they knew someone who could. One doctor injected all kinds of medicine into Tony that would help him stay alive, at least until he got to the next hospital. The other doctor called the only place he knew that could save this young person, Stark International.

The phone rang once…another time… and another. This felt like forever to Doctor Columbia who feared for this young billionaire's life. Doctor Columbia happened to be a close friend of Howard Stark, and Columbia felt that he would let Howard down. One last ring… "Hello, This is Trish, Stark International. How may I help you?"

"I NEED A MEDICAL ROOM OPEN NOW! PUT YOUR BEST DOCTORS IN THE ROOM ASAP!" Columbia yelled into the old phone.

Trish replied in a confused and troubled tone, "Excuse me sir but we have other people that our doctors need to help and you are no different from them."

"IT IS TONY STARK!"

Columbia herd a distant yelling "Get me a room for Tony Stark NOW!"

Trish and Columbia did not speak anymore, after Columbia heard Trish yelling, there was a loud thump, like the phone had just hit the floor and then a tone. The tone sounded like someone's heart failing. That scared Columbia. He snapped back into reality as his partner screamed at him to help Tony into the helicopter. Tony swayed unevenly as they took off, back and forth and back and forth, the scientists trying to keep Tony alive as the copter was moving.

"STEADY IT OUT ALLREADY!" Columbia yelled.

"I got it, I got it, jeeze!"

" One of the smartest men on the planet is barely alive! You only think of yourself you ignorant person!

The pilot was angered at this, but he knew that he could talk about it with the doctor once Tony was safely inside the hospital- under the care of Stark international, and out of his hair!
