Chapter 28
"Tony you can't do this" Pepper yelled as she stormed into his workshop with everyone in tow. He was looking over the schematics that he still had from the Jericho. They were old and need improvements, but he would make them. He would do anything to get Bella and his father back. He couldn't lose them. He couldn't lose her. Especially not the way his father lost his mother.(cue music on tiny violin) The thought and images of what could have happened racked his brain and fought away tears. He took deep breaths and went back to his schematics.
"I can and dammit I am" he said "And don't you dare try and stop me, Potts"
"Too late. Tony please think about what you're doing" she begged
"I am" he hissed
"Then think about how Bella will feel when she finds out you're doing this" He froze for a moment and thought about it, since he hadn't before. He knew she would be pissed and mad at him for God knows when, but he knew she would mostly be disappointed in him.
"I'll try and reason with her. Make her understand" he said struggling to compose himself
"And what if she doesn't listen? Then what, Tony"
"Why are you doing this to me, Pepper" he yelled turning to her "You know I don't want to do this"
"Then why do it anyways? We can figure out another way"
"I know we can, but we don't have time! My mother was killed in front of my dad's eyes and Bella could possibly be next! I have to do this"
"But not this way" Rhodey interjected "You remember the explosion the Jericho caused! When they use that on some defenseless country, it'll take out the entire area" Tony was about to say something when something that Rhodey said made him think. It would take out the whole entire area… the absolute area. Nothing left… bingo(lightbulb flickers over his head).
"Jarvis, bring up a map" Tony said suddenly coming out of his revere. Everyone was confused by his strange request, but Jarvis complied with his order. He brought up a map of the world slowly spinning. "Good. Now bring up South East Asia"
"Tony, what are you up to" Pepper asked genuinely curious as to why he was looking through a map when they needed to work on a way to rescue Bella along with his father.
"You'll see. Jarvis, do you remember that tracking device I put in Bella's charm bracelet" he asked(it's to make sure bella's safe. and no tony's not being possessive like edward)
"You put a tracking device in Bella's bracelet? Tony Stark, tell me you're joking"
"Pepper Potts, I am not joking. Calm down , I did it for emergencies. And well wouldn't you know? It came in handy" he said thoughtfully(see? i told you he wasn't being possessive). She stared at the back of Tony's head when he turned around and half-smiled at her. He turned back around and turned his attention to Jarvis.
"Yes sir, I do. Might I ask why"
"I need to see the location where she and my dad are" he answered simply. Jarvis narrowed down in a small area on the map "Explode it" Jarvis did as he was told and revealed a mansion to him.
"A mansion? You can't be serious" Rhodey demanded(they're the classy type of villains)
"Apparently so. Though I got admit, it looks pretty cool" Tony shrugged. Everyone gave him a 'WTF' look and Jarvis simply sighed. Tony was so confusing, especially at times like these.
"What is going on in your head right now" Pepper demanded
"A plan. Okay Jarvis, this is where the fun happens" Tony said clapping his hands "I need you to give a 2-D image"
"Is this good" Jarvis asked as he re-created the image into 2-D as asked
"It's perfect. Now place me, Rhodey, and Bruce in that area" he asked and Jarvis did as told. "Good. Now Bella, my dad, Mandarin and the rest of the Ten Rings"
"What are you doing Stark" Fury demanded as Jarvis brought up the image
"Planning. It would go by faster if you all would stop asking questions and let me do this" everyone stared at the back of his head speechless. "Now bring in the Jericho"
"Yes sir. Anything else" he asked as he was done
"Yes. Take me, Rhodey, Bruce, Bella and my dad out the image. But do it in 30 minutes and as if we were actually moving" Tony instructed
"Like a stimulation"
"Exactly" Tony said as he moved to his chair. He watched as Jarvis put together his orders the exact way they came out in his head. "Good. How far away are we"
"Approximately 50 miles, sir" Jarvis answered
"Good. Now have the Jericho explode" Everyone gaped at him wide-eyed but he paid no attention to him. He watched slowly as bit by bit the plan formed in his head came to virtual action. Just before anyone could blink the Jericho exploded into massive flames and Tony smiled successfully.
"What-what just happened" Edward stuttered. He had left for a few days to get a hold of himself, but came back as soon as Alice told him Bella was missing.
"That Cullen, is my plan" Tony said smiling wider "Mandarin wants the Jericho, then that's what he'll get. And all the consequences that come with it"
"I don't understand" Pepper breathed
"Look, Mandarin said he wanted the Jericho and it was obvious that he wanted it to destroy villages and lives. So that's what I'm going to do. Except that instead of destroying innocent people, he'll be killing himself and the Ten Rings" tony shrugged "He wants to use Stark tech to use for his own selfish purposes then fine. He'll get the same fate that Stane and Whiplash got"
"Tony that's-that's brilliant! But how are we going to pull it off" Rhodey asked
"I'm going to work on the Jericho here. With a little help from Bruce, if you don't mind"
"Just tell me what you need me to do" Bruce said
"Great, you can help me figure out how to make this thing again cause I have no idea how to make it go 'boom' like the way Jarvis did it. Potts, you're going to do the usual. So will you Rhodes. And everyone else do as Pepper says, she's in charge. If I need you, I'll find you. Other than that, you all can go so I can get to work" Tony instructed then turned his back on them. Bruce shrugged out of his jacket, rolled up the sleeves and got to work.
"Okay Alice, you're with me" Pepper said
"Okay. What'cha need me to do" Alice asked
"While I fill in for Tony, you have to do my job"
"Okay. If I can handle Tony and Bella at the same time, I can handle you" she smiled(yay more alice). Pepper nodded and motioned for everyone else to leave. At the top of the stairs Fury grabbed her arm and pulled her back away from the crowd.
"Do you think it would be best to keep them around during all of this" Fury asked
"Truthfully no, I don't. But we don't have a choice" she sighed "Gene already knows who they are. And it would be more beneficial to keep an eye on them when they're right in front of us"
"I guess your right" he said "Well, you better get to work Potts. This is not going to be easy"
