"A-attacked?!" Chihiro yells. He starts shaking Tony internally swears. Why'd this have to happen now?

'it's gonna be fine," Tony says. "I'll handle it. Nobody has to get hurt." Suddenly, the comms turn on. They hear a deep voice speak out to them.

"Attention, this is a warning to Tony Stark. If he doesn't meet me at his office in five minutes, I'll kill every one in the building." Tony swears out loud this time. He knew that voice anywhere, even though they tried to disguise it.

"Stark-san?" Chihiro ask nervously.

"It's Justin Hammer. My former rival who should be in prison right now." Tony grabs a pad from his workbench and begins typing something into it.

"What are you doing?" Chihiro asks, walking up to Tony.

"I'm activating a fail safe of mine. I figured that Hammer would come for revenge someday, so I created a bug that would make whatever he made stop working. He always puts the same signature into his designs."

"Wow, you're so prepared Stark-san." Chihiro says. After a bit he activates the failsafe.

"Ok," Tony says. "I'm leaving. You stay here and avoid running into any of Hammer's goons.

"Huh?" Chihiro's worry comes back. "But, what about you?"

"I'll be fine, kid." Tony reassures Chihiro with a smile. "This is just one of the things heroes do." Before Tony leaves, he gives Chihiro his pad.

"Use this to monitor Stark industries. If any bad guy comes down here, hide." Tony walk to the elevator and gets it.

"Please be careful!" Chihiro shouts out. Tony just nods before the doors close. With that, Chihiro was alone. Chihiro started shaking again. How could he have let Tony leave like that. He should have gone to help him. Now Stark-san might get hurt while he did nothing. Chihiro wanted to cry, but he knew he couldn't. He had to be strong. Maybe there was something he could do. He turns on the pad to look at the other rooms. He could see men in every room. The employees were gathered up in the cafeteria. He wanted to help them too. While watching the screens, Chihiro notices one of the henchmen fiddling with his gun. It didn't seem to work The henchman, in frustration, hits the trigger on the weapons.

What happened next was surprising. The weapon exploded, knocking the henchman into his fellow guards. All three were knocked out. Then, the processes repeats several times with other henchmen, resulting in most of them getting knocked out. The only ones that didn't get knocked out were the ones watching the hostages. Chihiro looked at that screen. Everyone looked scared. He recognizes Happy, the nice man that drove him here. It hurt him to see Happy like this. Another thing Chihiro notices is that Peter is nowhere to be seen. What had happened to him? Was he hurt?

Chihiro hears a sound come from another room. He switches to Tony's office where Justin Hammer and Tony were. Tony walks into the room, looking confident.

"Hello Anthony." Hammer says.

"Hey there shitstain." Tony says.

"Is that anyway to greet your rival?"

"No, it's how I greet the dirt under my shoe." Hammer gestures towards Tony and two guards grab him. They ties his hands behind his back and push him on his knees.

"Oh please, those words don't phase me. After all, you've done much worse to me." Hammer's face darkens. "You ruined me Stark. I used to be big! I was the CEO of Hammer industries! I would've changed everything with my tech! But then you came and took it away!."

"Are you forgetting the fact that you concocted illegal deals to get you're weapons made? Not to mention the time you broke a terrorist out of jail, just to prove you were better than me? I'm sorry, but the only one that ruined you was yourself. You deserved to rot in jail for your crimes!" Hammer responds by backhanding tony. Tony winced. That was definitely gonna bruise. His lip had also split, causing a bit of blood to run down his chin

Chihiro snaps out of his daze. he had been absorbed in their conversation until Tony got hurt. Now he really needed to do something to something. He looked around the workshop to see if there was anything he could use. His search landed on the Iron Man armor. It was a little busted, but otherwise was in good shape. Chihiro's eyes lit up. He had an Idea! He remembered watching an interview on TV where Tony Stark explained how his suit worked. One detail was that it had an A.I that helped him while inside it. Chihiro grabbed his pad and ran to the armor.

He pulls out his laptop and began to work on his plan to save Tony. He kept the pad on to keep himself updated on Tony's situation. Meanwhile, Tony becomes concerned with what Hammer was planning. He had to find out in order to save his workers and his friends.

"What are you planning?" Tony asks. "You have to be dumb to just attack my place like this."

"It's simple, really." hammer says. A wicked smile forms across his face. "I just want to kill you."

"You do that, and you're a dead man!" Tony yells!

"I don't care! I've already lost everything, I used what I had left to hire these guys. Even if I die, I'll be content with the fact that I've at least gotten my revenge by taking your life." Chihiro gasps, stopping for a second before working faster. He needed to help Stark-san at all costs.

"If that's the case, why'd you take my employees hostage?" Tony asks. He started to struggle against the bindings.

"They're just incentive to keep you from doing anything about this. So be a good boy and die slowly so that no one else has to get hurt." Tony braces himself as Hammer pulls back his fist.

Chihiro looks away. He didn't want to watch Tony get hurt. He was almost done with his plan anyway. Suddenly, he hears a faint sound. It was the elevator! Chihiro eyes widen. He had to hide. He hit the download button and went to hide under one of the work benches. The elevator door dings, and a henchman comes out. He sees the man's legs walk around, looking for something.

"Hm? What's this?" The man says, walking towards something. Oh no, he was walking towards-

"Download almost complete? Stark, you sly bastard." A smashing sound is heard. Even though he couldn't see it, he knew what happened. His computer had been destroyed. Chihiro gasps without thinking. He clamps a hand over his mouth, but it was too late. The man comes over to his table and lifts the cloth up.

"Well, well, well. Look what we have here." The man says as he grabs Chihiro.

"No!" The boy cries as he struggles to get free.

"Hey boss," The man says on his communicator. "I found a boy that managed to evade us. I'll go put him with the others."

"Oh really?" Hammer was intrigued. Tony's eyes widen. They found him. Dammit. He starts to struggle again.

"Oh yeah," Hammer says. "I just remembered, you had a student visit your workplace today. That's so generous of the "great" Anthony Stark." Hammer turns to his communicator. "Scratch that. Bring the boy here."

"You got it Sir." The man says.

"Don't!" Tony yell while struggling. "I won't let you hurt him."

"Oh, don't you worry that pretty little head of yours Anthony." Hammer says as he ruffles Tony's hair. Tony pulls back in disgust. "I'm not gonna hurt him. I'm just gonna give him the honor of watching you die."

"You're fucking sick." Tony says. Tony receives another punch from Hammer as the door opens. The man brought Chihiro in. Chihiro was shaking badly. When he looked at Tony, he gasped. Tony was badly beaten. There were bruises everywhere and he was covered in blood.

"St-stark-san!" Chihiro cries as he struggles to get to him.

"Now that he's here, the finale can commence!" Hammer rips Tony's shirt apart. He puts his hand over the arc reactor. Chihiro knows exactly what was gonna happen next.

"NO! DON'T!" He cries. Suddenly, the doors burst open. Everyone turns around to discover the Iron Man armor was here. The armor blasts away some of the goons before turning to Chihiro.

"Sorry I'm late." A familiar voice says. "I was busy helping to free the hostages." Chihiro smiles. His plan worked!

The Iron Man then turns and blasts Hammer away from Tony. Chihiro and the armor go to check on Tony.

"Um, is it just me? Or is my armor moving by itself?" Tony asks.

"Oh!" Chihiro exclaims. "I did that. I wanted to help you, Stark-san, but didn't know how. Then I remembered you have a A.I. in your suit. So I uploaded my A.I. into it to save everyone." The armor waved at Tony.

"Hello, it's nice to meet you. I'm Alter Ego." The A.I. says cheerfully.

"That's...incredible." Tony says before coughing violently. Chihiro catches him before he fell.

"Let's leave this place so you can rest Stark-san." Chihiro says as he helps him up. "Can you walk?"

"Yeah, I think I can." Tony replies. The three of them slowly walk to the exit, confident that the situation was all over. Suddenly, they hear a cry. Chihiro turns around to find Hammer running at them. Hammer pushes Chihiro away and grabs Tony before Alter Ego could react.

"This isn't over!" Hammer yells. He was completely unhinged. "I'm gonna get my revenge!" Hammer reaches for the arc reactor again. However, before he could, a white string catches his hand and pulls him up. Everyone looks up to see Spiderman webbing Hammer to the ceiling. Spiderman jumps down and inspects Tony.

"Mr. Stark, are you ok?" He said with concern.

"Hey Underoos," Tony says. "I'm fine. I've had much worse than a beating." Tony starts coughing again.

"Wow," Chihiro says, looking at Spiderman. "that was amazing Spiderman."

"Oh, it was nothing really." Spiderman says. Finally certain that things were alright, the four leave for real with Hammer swearing behind them.

"By the way," Chihiro says once they were in the elevator. "Your voice sounds familiar. Have we met before?

"Oh no." Spiderman says quickly. "We haven't met before, sorry."

"Oh, I'm sorry." Chihiro says.

"No it's alright!" Spiderman says. "We're meeting now! What's your name?"

"Chihiro Fujisaki. And it was a pleasure to meet such a strong hero!"

"Aw shucks. Thanks kid!"

"I'm a strong hero too." Tony says.

"Oh of course you are!" Chihiro says.

"You're a hero too, kid." Tony says, smiling. "You saved my life. And my employees." Chihiro blushes.

"It was nothing." Chihiro says.

"You know, my offer still stands." Tony says, looking at Chihiro. "You're earned a place at Stark Industries. what do you say?"

"Um..." Chihiro thinks. "I already work for some sponsors, but once my work with them is done, I'll definitely think about it!"

"Perfect." Tony says "I can't wait. By the way, would you like to continue the tour once I'm healed?"

"Oh yes! Absolutely!" Chihiro says. "I'm so glad I met you, Stark-san!"

"Me too Codes, me too."

"Codes?"

"My new nickname for you. You like?"

"I think it's cute." The elevator stops and the four of them get out. Tony and Chihiro look at each other. They'd never forget this day. And they'll never forget the bond they've formed together.

THE END
