Tony's face scowled, deeply upset. Bruce couldn't get Stark to answer him. Pushing back lingering aftershocks of pain he grabbed the phone. Until he was back where he should be, it looked like Bruce was going to have to take care of things. "Tony?! Tony! Thank god you answered I was about to call Rhodey. Are you okay?" Bruce cleared Tony's throat going through several scenarios, for now, he needed to make sure Stark's assistant was aware of the problems.
"Stane was here, he has the arc reactor. Be vigilant, he will be after you next." A shocked gasp answered him "That goddamned slimy..." She mutters the rest before speaking clearly once more, "The reactor!? Are you hurt? I'm calling Rhodey, he'll be able to-" Worry seeped into her voice while he made his way to Stark's creation, he gave it a weighing look. "We'll be fine. Tell me what you learned." At a loss for words at his abrupt cut in and business tone she took a second to respond.
"Nothing you haven't already figured out, he paid to have you killed. Your capture was a hit job." The venom embedded in the woman's voice would've cheered Stark up if he weren't currently slacking off. "I'm with federal agents and Coulson right now who are saying-" Having the AI offline would make using the suit troublesome. "The SHIELD agent? Good, stay near him he's adequately skilled he'll protect you."
"Hmph, we're going to stop him, Tony. He won't get away with this." Was the assistant going along for the confrontation? For a moment he was reminded of Lane before glowering. Lane rarely got out of incidents of her own power. "He will be difficult to take down with field agents. He now has a power source to fuel the combative metal armor he no doubt has. Whatever firepower you have. Get more. Tell the agents it would be wise to evacuate the nearby populace, discreetly so as to not alert Stane. I'm sending help, try to stay alive until it arrives."
He couldn't allow people to die when he was capable to stop it. He was filled to the brim with death, time to stop the counter. "Wait what do you—" "It's going to come in through the sky so it's within your best interest to make sure it isn't shot down." Bruce hung up and started getting ready.
