Heyo! Here is my attempt to write an Ironman fic... I kind of have an idea on the plot, but right now I'm open for suggestions! Rating might go up, but so far it is very G-rated...I think...

Anybody else think Ironman was the best Marvel movie yet? (This follows the Movieverse version of Ironman, because it picks up right as the movie leaves off.)

I didn't stay for after the credits, though my friends told me what happens. So this may or may not be entirely compatable. No, I'm not even going to try to write a plot with S.H.E.I.L.D. involved. Wayyyy too complex. Besides, I like it better acting like the other superheroes don't exist with Tony...it makes it much more beleivable.

Disclaimer: I love Marvel, but don't claim any of it.

"This isn't just a weapon! If my suit designs fall into the wrong hands, anybody could reproduce a copy, and they would be able to format it to their liking! Mass produce it, and you can take over the world! No, you won't be receiving any information about it. The government is the wrong hands."

"Whose hands are the right hands, Mr. Stark? Yours?"

"No…mine are the only hands."

"That went well." Jim Rhodes growled as Tony Stark walked past him after escaping the press conference. The Colonel nodded to a few men in suits, and they turned to make sure nobody followed.

"Aw come on Rhodey, you know I never follow the cards!" Grimacing when his friend didn't reply, Tony softened his voice, pleading, "Hey, come on. You saw me up there, mixing up my words. I said something about being a superhero for Christ's sake."

Rhodey sighed, closing his eyes and shaking his head. "What are we going to do, Tony? I don't think training exercise is going to cover this one."

"What, really? Because I really thought we could say something about fighter jets-"

"Tony!"

The nervous billionaire flinched, turning to accept the wrath that would be Pepper.

"Hello Pepper..."

"Tony Stark, what were you thinking?!" The redhead shrieked, locking her knees, pressing her hands to her sides, and sighting her targets onto her boss, "I mean, I already had two reporters ask about your job and if you were there that night at the explosion and now, now six more are asking about if you were going to be this "Iron Man" full time and if it was you that blew up the reactor and about your injuries and two even mentioned your kidnapping-"

"Pepper—Pepper breath." Tony interrupted, holding his hand out to try and calm his assistant.

"Ohhh…what are we going to do?" she wailed, and collapsed into a chair.

Tony frowned, "Well I was thinking-"

"Doesn't matter," Rhodey said, grabbing Tony's arm and Pepper's wrist, "because the mob from the conference just got past the guards."

"Pepper, please tell me Hogan is outside waiting for-"

"Hogan!" Pepper gasped, breathless, and led them through a side door. "He said he would be parked out front-"

Rhodey pulled them to a stop. "No way are you guys getting past the reporters without an escort."

"Well," Tony started, unsure if the trouble he brought on meant he didn't have a voice, "I'm pretty sure we already have one Colonel."

The man set his mouth in a straight line. "I can't just barge through the crowds-"

"Fine."

And Tony strode ahead, out through the doors, and was greeted by flashes of light and shouted questions.

"Are you in cahoots with the police force?"

"Do you have a sidekick?"

"Did you kill Obadiah Stane because he was a rival?"

"Are you insane?!"

The last question caught him off guard, and he paused before entering the black car that Hogan whipped around, catching sight of Pepper struggling after him.

"Get in, Pepper."

"How did you-"

Rhodey placed a hand on her back, giving her a strong nudge towards Tony. "Get in the car now, questions later."

"Okay…"

She stumbled past a very persistent reporter, but Tony caught her arm and helped her into the vehicle before he himself got in. With the door closed, it was considerably quieter.

"Wait, what about Rhodey-"

Tony nodded at Hogan, who raced away from the building. "He has his own truck. He'll probably meet us at my house."

"Tony, why did you say that?"

"What? It's the truth. He wouldn't want to leave his truck at the place, so he-"

"No, why did you admit that you were 'Iron Man'?"

And Tony fell into a brooding silence, one that lasted until they pulled up to his house, where he excused himself to his recently repaired shop.

Really short, I know, but this IS the intro.

Any comments? I'd love any help!
