HELLO, HELLO, HELLO. I FINALLY GOT THIS CHAPTER DONE HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Ahem… excuse me….

Anyways, on a more serious note. Thank you all for the support, suggestions and just taking your time to read my little story. Seriously, I really do appreciate it all. Which is why I have to apologize for this taking so long to do. It SHOULD not have taken this long, like seriously I've been scolding myself for that fact. But now it's done and I hope you all do enjoy it. It took me a bit to try and fix up as much as I could.

From the grammar, re-watching the movie scene's themselves. Trying to not repeat certain words even if that was considerably hard for me and just making sure it was good enough to makeup for having taking this long to post another chapter up.

So saying all that, from the top movie pick of my first poll. I present to you the next installment of Chaldea Reacts!

Enjoy!

Chaldea Reacts!- Ch.4- Pt.1 : Yet another tense pick…

It was another nice day in Chaldea, the servants STILL in their rooms for the most part. Twiddling away at the laptops mainly. Since their TV's at the moment at least, only got the channels from the freak of nature village singularity below the mountainside that Chaldea stood on. Which wasn't many channels aside from health channels, a few cartoons which showed that the town below was British in origins, alongside a local news channel and finally a British Reality TV station.

The servants though that were on the TV's were mainly doing so to take a break from learning all they could on their laptops or just wanted to give their laptops a break for the time being. The twin masters coming into each of their rooms one, by one to see how things were. But amongst the large population of servants. Seven were walking down the hallways to get stretch their legs.

These seven were servants no one would ever think would be close friends. Well maybe a few of them more than others. But they all were, even if some of them didn't act like they cared too much or weren't the expressive emotional type.

The first was a tall woman in a lovely short skirt dress. The colors of wine red, blue and gold along with a few more not as noticeable colors; along with a cape too in similar colors. She wore a pair of long blue gloves, long blue leggings and blue/ gold tinted heels. Her left arm with a large mechanical gauntlet on it. She also had flawless peach skin, an amazing figure/ bust, lovely blue eyes and lovely long dark brunette hair. This was Leonardo Da-Vinci and her circumstance for being a woman instead of man were rather… well never mind that. Currently she was walking alongside her six friends, well actually one was her little sister as she called the child. Who she held in her arms.

This little sister of hers was actually a child version of Da-Vinci herself. Lily Da Vinci as she was called officially. Who wore a very similar outfit to the older Da-Vinci. Aside that the Lily Da-Vinci's outfit looked much more like a dress a young girl would wear, with a white puffed shirt showing instead and her hair was in pony tail, she wore brown shoes and a mini version of the older Da-Vinci's gauntlet. She was actually a replacement body for the original Da-Vinci when that one died for reasons no one brings up… ever.

This version still having all the memories of the original Da-Vinci before she was killed, though now enjoying being a little sister to the re-summoned version of her older self. Who also up until their death, also had the same memories. Even now no one could figure out how that was, but the Twins were happy that the older newly re-summoned Da-Vinci had all her memories of the Lily Da-Vinci's past-self. To be perfectly honest, that was a more abridged version of the situation. The whole thing if you asked Lily Da-Vinci of what happened after she awoken were a bit complicated. Anyways, the Da-Vinci sisters were a usual duo seen in Chaldea's halls.

Though with the Da-Vinci sisters were another trio of sisters. Three sisters who though had trouble this whole crazy year to bond. Well two of them more easily than the third. Were sisters in all rights. They were known as the Saintly Trio.

The eldest was a lovely well developed young woman, who looked to be in her late teens to early adult hood. Her lovely peach skin, amethyst eyes and long blonde hair tied in a long braid only added to her more than angelic appearance. Wearing a royal purple dress with silver armor/ waist peace around the dress itself, a pair of silver gauntlets, long black leggings, silver plated boots, a silver neck guard and a silver head piece. This was the Saint of Orleans, Jeanne D'Arc. Who again was considered the eldest sister of the Saintly Trio. Along with being the one to first get the three sisters to get along and become a family. Which after a good year and a lot of effort on her part, it was now one closely knit one.

The next in the Saintly Trio was the middle sister of the three and out of all of them. She was the one everyone could call, the least like her other two sisters. At least with the aura she gave off. One of irritation and angst. She looked just like her Elder sister Jeanne. Expect her dress was black and her armor a dark greyish-black. Her skin more pale and her eyes a bright yellow, while her hair was a slight lighter ash white; which also was cut short to the back of her neck at least. She was known as Jeanne Alter or to put it simply in her case a 'What if?' sort of servant. Also to put it even more simple, she was a fire loving Tsundere. One who even if she still acted a bit Tsundere-ish with everyone and her sisters especially. She had come to love her sister very much, even if she had been rather resistant about it for a while. But she still did her best to not get all gushy about it too much, especially when it came to the baby sister of the trio.

Speak of the youngest of the Saintly Trio, she was a carbon copy of Jeanne Alter. Expect the youngest sister was also a Lily. A Christmas themed Lily to be exact. Who wore a fluffy white shoulder cape, a white skirt and a simply black piece of cloth over her chest leaving most of her the rest of her torse along with her stomach showing. She also wore long black gloves over her arms with two white fluffy bracelets around both her wrists and long black leggings with silver armor boots. Along with a silver head piece like her sisters too. The only other difference she had was that she had a long pony tail instead of a braid. Again she was a Christmas themed servant, her story like most in Chaldea rather… complex. All that will be said was she was summoned after becoming part of the throne through various events involving the winter holiday. To everyone though she was such a sweetie, who could be mischievous at times. But most of the time, Lily Jeanne was a good loving little sister. Who loved her elder sister and her middle sister, even if it was a bit tense at first when it came to her and Jeanne Alter.

Walking with the others, was one of rather unique servants in this place. With her small stature, pink hair, dark blue eye a bit and clawed pink tipped hands. She wore in a way a steel colored vest with pink diamonds down the center and what looked like three strapped around the chest, a pair of heels with spiked pink tips at the end, a circular skirt with diamonds on her thighs and a pair of steel/ pink tinted wings on her back. She also had a pair of steel colored horns on her head, pointed elf like ears and a large tail with a pink tip at the end. Now then, apply all that to a metallic body as the girl was in fact a robot built to look like the servant Elizbeth Bathory. Everything she wore, was actually just pained on her steel body. She was considered the Mark.1. Well she had been, as there had been another of her that was a Mark.2. Thing was, only a few weeks ago before they all go their laptops. The two finally decided to just become one entity. Fusing as they now considered themselves as one person and Mark.3. Having best of both versions. By this point they or well now SHE, had gotten use to being just Mecha Eli-Chan or Milly as only a very few she was close to called her that. Which speaking of, the usually monotoned Mecha Eli Chan looked over to the one who set up this walk/ hangout with the girls.

Who this last girl was, well it was the adorable Frankenstein or Fran. Who had asked in growls for everyone to hangout. Mainly because she wanted to stretch her legs out with company. That and her usual besties. Being Jekyll and Mordred, were busy with their own personal chores when it came to their laptops since they were some of the few servants to get the hang of the laptops fairly quick. The only Reason Fran was one of these servants too, was thanks to Jekyll and Mr. Babbage's who when they could; used their time to help her out. Still she did have another reason, one she was keeping secret for now since it was quite a surprise for them as it had been for her.

As the seven servants walked down the hallways, following Fran's lead as she was the one leading them. They talked about various subject, like how their days were. How they were getting use to their laptops and the TV's in their rooms. Gossip, the usual.

"So anyways, I've been working on some stories!" Lily Jeanne sweetly stated as she skipped in between her sisters "I'm gonna make one just like big sis Alter here!"

"Yeah keep telling yourself that squirt. But you got a LONG way to go if you're gonna get on my level." Jeanne Alter stated, smirking a bit smugly as she riffled Lily Jeanne's hair

"Hm…." Lily Jeanne pouted as she just stuck her tongue out at Jeanne Alter, who did the same back

"No girls, behave. Especially you Alter. You're suppose to be a role model for our baby sister." Jeanne light scolded the two, as Lily Jeanne pout some more but nodded in agreement while Jeanne Alter just shrugged

"Seriously though, sometimes I wonder how such a sweet girl. Came from such a Tsundere." Mecha Eli-Chan quipped, having hear the word from a fellow heroic spirit Black Beard a while back when she overheard him speaking with a few others on the quote 'Top Ten Tsundere's of Chaldea'

"Tch… you're lucky you're my friend." Jeanne Alter threated half heartily, as everyone by now knew she wouldn't hurt them unless they really were asking for it which in most cases wasn't "Anyways, Da-Vinci. I'm guessing you and your little sis were like the first to get use to our new little toys?"

"Well yeah girl. I mean it wasn't that hard and besides me and little sis here got it manages in a day. Ain't that right?" Da-Vinci proudly answered, as Lily Da-Vinci smirked at the declaration of their intelligence

"Indeed big sis, I mean we are two pea's in the pod when it comes to super smarts. Oh yes we are. HEHEHE!" Lily Da-Vinci quipped smugly, as she gave her big sister a big smile of agreement while doing a hoity toity laugh that she used to tease her friends since she knew they all hated that sort of laugh

"HEHEHE!" Da-Vinci laughed alongside her little sister seconds later, as the others all just sighed a bit

"For real, can you stop?!" Jeanne Alter asked irritably, as even now she still had the shortest temper compared to most servants. The Da-Vinci sister snickering as they did so, having their early morning filling of teasing until lunch time rolled around "UGH… anyways, Fran where are we going anyways. I mean I ain't hating hanging out but seems like were going in circles… I think… these hallways confused me."

"Oh totally!" Lily Da-Vinci quipped first at the statement

"Agreed." Mech Eli-Chan quickly responded also to the accurate statement

"Preach!" Da-Vinci shouted, also in absolute agreement even if she'd been in this place since the start. Well the other her before this that is technically the now in the body of her little sister and… never mind

"They do little sister… they do." Jeanne said, chuckling a little as she was glad her litter sister was getting along better with the others; while the youngest of the trio had just stayed quiet. But Jeanne looked back a Fran who had giggled a little herself at the banter "Still Fran, where are we going?"

"Grah, umf, umf, graw. Gao!" Fran happily answered, though it did confused the girls a bit at what she meant by her explanation

"Special room… sounds kind of weird if you ask me." Jeanne Alter stated, the others nodded in silent agreement

"Grah, gwah, umf!" Fran quickly corrected, to reassure the girls before looking back ahead to see it… the special room

To be fairly honest a few days since Mordred, her and Jekyll had that musical number and meeting Mordred's newest roommate the adorable kitten she had. Fran after a bit of pleaded and puppy dog eyes, got Mordred to at least tell her she'd been in a special room for a good two hours. But that was all she had been told, a few day's after that and she found a note left on her bed. Who it was from or how it got there since she locked her bedroom doors always. She didn't know, but she didn't care once she read the contents of the note, saying that she'd been picked for a special event that her friend Mordred had been too. But that this time she was allowed to bring up to max six other friends with her. It was just by luck that she just so happened to have six free friends today.

"Umf, umf!" Fran cheered as she ran up to the door, going into it and leaving the others in the dust for a few moments

"Um…should we-" Jeanne asked, only for her two sisters, the Da-Vinci sisters and Mecha Eli-chan to just follow Fran in "Well guess we will. Hm… seems odd though she lead up to a room so far back in the place."

So as Jeanne walked inside this dubbed 'Special' room, she saw it was quiet a nice set up and that everyone was sitting a very large couch, though Fran had decided to happily sit on a pile of comfy looking pillow's while she crisscrossed her legs. Lily Jeanne seeing Jeanne, smiled and waved at her Elder sister.

"Big sis come on sit next to us!" Lily Jeanne cheered, with a big smile and wave as Jeanne saw they girls had saved her a seat at the end of the couches right. Jeanne smiled, back as she made her way over and took her seat it was silent

And silent…

And silent..

And… you get the idea

"SO… what now? Da-Vinci asked, as the only things they saw that could be of entertainment was the TV for watching the few channels they had at the moment or the laptop that was on black screen "Fran, any idea?"

"Grah." Fran answered, shrugging as to be honest aside from the note. She was rather confused on what in the world was suppose to be happening. That was until they got their answer, as the Laptop suddenly turned on doing a small little beep gettin the girls attention as they looked at the Laptop, now displaying a message

-Greetings ladies, yes we can see you've all been picked by Fran to join her in what is now called the Special Room to those who are given notice of it. For why you're here, well why else. To enjoy a good up to two hours and possibly a bit more then that, of watching a modern movie. I know that even with the knowledge given to you, it's quiet… limited in some aspect. One being movies aside from the genre and the basic info on the companies that made them. BUT I digress, point is until the movie is over the room has been locked down. Do not worry though, if you haven't taken notice, we've provided you all with a bathroom, along with a mini-fridge with a few snacks and drinks to have if you so desire.-

So enjoy the movie and really. Is there anything important, any of you have to do today other than this?

P.S: DO NOT tell anyone about this once it's over

P.S.S: Seriously, we mean it please

A moment later the Laptop screen went black again, the girls silent as they all looked at Fran. Who sheepishly smiled back since she had NO idea this was what Mordred had to go through. Admittedly nothing bad, but she wasn't keen on the whole being locked in a room for two or more hours without her consent. Still what's done was done and she couldn't take it back.

"Anything you'd like to tell us Fran?" Mecha Eli Chan asked, raising an eyebrow while the others gave her a similar look even the little girls in the group

"Grah…umf… gaooo." Fran answered, a bit nervously as she smiled a bit more wider and shrugged

"We believe you. BUT, please Fran don't lie to use again and be up front with us okay. We are friends after all." Jeanne slightly scolded, as she could tell was being honest that she had no idea this was going to happen. But a bit disappointed in her friend for feeling like she had to lie to them, surprise or not lying to a friend in her book was a rather bad thing to do

"Umf…" Fran replied back, poking the tips of her index fingers together as she was glad none of them were mad-mad at her; just a but upset that she got them into this. Mecha Eli-Chan silently patting the top of her head to address that they forgave her helped

"Well anyways. Guess we get to watch a good old movie. This actually sounds pretty fun." Da-Vinci happily quipped

Though on the inside Da-Vinci was already trying to figure out how she or anyone else in Chaldea never found this room or how the heck someone set this up under her and her sisters noses. But for now, she'd let it be and see if anything comes from it. Sure she enjoyed the peace here, she really did. BUT… she also wanted something to stir it up a bit to in the most harmless way possible. So this was a good change of pace and unless it caused harm in the future, she'd let this go on for now. The words being 'FOR NOW'.

"Eh guess so, but whoever locked us in better be praying I don't find them." Jeanne Alter muttered, as she really was considering impaling the ones who enacted their confident; if not them most harmless one in fact. She still wasn't much of a fan of being made to do something, like at all

"Big sis is being angsty again." Lily Jeanne muttered back having overheard her big sister's mini rant

"Tch… shut it squirt." Jeanne Alter replied back, lightly flicking the side of her little sisters head as Lily Jeanne grumbled; while Jeanne having also overheard sighed a little at both of her little sisters behavior at times. But also loved that part when it came to the two Alters of herself

"Anyways, I do hope this movie will start up soon. I'd hate to have my time wasted in here.' Mecha Eli-Chan exclaimed

"Yeah, hey people who trapped us in here. You gonna start up the movie!" Lily Da-Vinci yelled in slight mocking, before suddenly the message on the screen changed saying now 'Press start to change' on it "Huh, guess my teasing was used for good once."

"Umf, Gao!" Fran replied back with a chuckle

"Got that right Fran she's is cute ain't she?" Da-Vinci stated smiling as Lily Da-Vinci blushed a bit from the compliments. Da-Vinci looking to the Laptop, smiled in excitement as she used the mouse connected to the laptop to press start "Well gal's, let's enjoy a good movie!"

Then as Da-Vinci cheered, while the others cheered too. The screen changed to a gritty film reel, tell them to wait for a few moments. They did so, before it finally began…

1.

[Begin]

The screen turns black for a few seconds, before it begins to pan downwards as small barely noticeable shiny dots in the sky began falling at the same time. More and more the screen pan's downwards. A evening color sky with white clouds starting to show. Before the screen pan's low enough to show an ice covered mountain. The stars passing by a few large white and gold trimmed letters. The servants kept watching before the saw the full words 'Paramount' over the ice covered mountain. The stars arcing behind the word as they formed into a more solid white star shape. Finally to make the introduction official the servants lastly saw solid white line appeared under the word Paramount, with a sentence saying 'A VIACOM COMPANY'. Again the servants watched in curious silence. As they couldn't find exact solid info on this Paramount aside from it was film producing company or sort. As like with most servants and the grail knowledge. There were just too many to gather a more detailed knowledge of each company and such within the profession.

Still as they watched the screen go black. Seconds later it was lite up in full red. With drawn images of people and creatures showing before switching to a new image even second. The sounds of a flipping book echoing in the background. It went on for a few more seconds, before the words in bold white 'MARVEL STUDIOS' appeared with a solid red background in the background.

Now again the servants knew a bit on what Marvel was from what the grail's more than usual basic knowledge told them. That for one it was one of a few famous industry of creating fantasy stories called comic's. Then for second, that they used characters with extortionary powers and such. All in the realm of pure fantasy. With finally three, well actually that's all the grail seemed to know. Nothing more, nothing less. But even so the servants were getting slowly more intrigued as they watched on. The screen yet again going fully dark and with only the sounds of the wind blowing to be hear.

Then a new scene change. A large desert like area, with snow tipped mountain's in the back ground, a few rock like piles scattered around and dozens upon dozens of small bushes. The servants were a bit confused what was supposed to be happening. Though they did see a long small clear pathway seconds later and coming down from it. Was what looked like a few large cars called Humvees with dust trail following behind. All the while small snippets of wording like 'PARAMOUNT PICTURES AND MARVEL ENTERTAINMENT PRESENTS' and 'IN ASSOCIATION WITH FAIRVIEW ENTERTAINTMENT' popped up for a few moments before fading away.

Yet again though the group of female servants. Just watched, confused beyond belief at what in the heck was supposed to be happening. Though they did get their answer a few seconds later. Lily Jeanne the one to be looking at the TV the closest from the couch.

{BUM, BAH, DUM, DAH!}

The loud sounds of a guitar and drums echoed killing the silence. Lily Jeanne flinching a bit as Jeanne chuckled. While Jeanne Alter rolled her eyes, but found it cute in her own way. The others smiled a little too at the young saints reaction. Though Lily Da-Vinci snorted a bit, much to the saint's slight irritation.

["I-It's not funny Luna!"] Lily Jeanne yelled a bit flustered as she used the nickname that was given to Lily Da-Vinci to make it easier to identify her. Like with the older Da-Vinci going by the name Lena

["Hehe, well it is to me Jenny."] Lily Da- Vinci quipped as the music kept playing in the background, while using the nickname given to Lily Jeanne for the same purposes. Which only got Lily Jeanne a bit more flustered before someone else decided to play peacekeeper

["I suggest we pay attention to the movie. It would be rude to keep arguing during it."] Mecha-Eli-Chan suggested calmly, yet with a slight sternness

["Umf."] Fran simply said with a nod of agreement

["But-"] Lily Jeanne was about to argue back, only to be cut off by older sister Jeanne

["They're right sweetie. Besides it's better to forgive then to stay angry. Especially with your friends okay?"] Jeanne sweetly exclaimed, as Lily Jeanne pouted a bit. But got a quick flick to the side of her head by her other older sister Jeanne Alter

["Yeah squirt. Behave and enjoy this…movie I guess. Got it."] Jeanne Alter more bluntly stated as Lily Jeanne just nodded and started to watch the movie again with the rest

["Haha."] Lily Da-Vinci laughed a bit, only for surprisingly her own older sister to chastise her for once

["You too little Luna. Behave okay, everyone will enjoy the movie more alright?"] Da-Vinci calmly explained as her tone was kind, yet also said 'No buts from you'. Lily Da-Vinci just sighed seeing her sister was being serious and rested her head against the older Da-Vinci's shoulder

[Yes big sister…"] Lily Da-Vinci muttered as Da-Vinci though feeling bad for having to scold her adorable little sister, was happy she understood enough to listen. That and she was internally gushing at how cute her little sister was right now as they both resumed watching the movie too

So as they watched on, Jeanne couldn't help but take a quick glance and smile. Seeing that Jeanne Alter had let Lily Jeanne sit on her lap and rest her head against her chest as they watched the movie. Jeanne was glad her more grumpy self was getting much better with the whole family thing. That and the small smile on Jeanne Alter's face also foretold the alter self was icing on the cake.

Still as they watched, the girls noticed now the view was much closer to the Humvees or in this case military grade Humvees. The big gun also helped with that deduction too. Though yet another set of words saying 'Kunar Province, Afghanistan' appeared under the lead Jeep. But the servants didn't know too much of the worlds more in detailed events during these few good centuries. They did know at least the names of the other countries. That and maybe some talks with the masters did help them when it came to learning a bit more on current world events. At least what they were comfortable asking their masters on when they weren't too busy.

Still the view change from the front of the Humvee to the side as the lead one past first, followed by two more. All the while the rock music in the background played on still. With another scene change of the Humvees passing by a person with two goats. But another quick view change to the back of what must have been the last jeep in the bunch. With dust flying back from under wheels and one of the American soldier on the mouthed turret keeping an eye just in case. But a view switched into one of the Humvees. One with three soldiers sitting inside. Two in the front and one in the back on the left hand side. But in the middle of the Humvee, was a radio playing the very same background music. If not a bit more with an echo.

["Going to be honest I'm still pretty confused on what we're seeing here."] Da-Vinci stated, as the others silently nodded in agreement. But got their answer, as the scene switched to the solider in the front not driving

Now showing a peach skinned, light brown eyed man wearing the standard attire for the solider in that particular area of the world. At least the girls guessed there. This man did a few eye movements to his right. Before the view changed to another peach skinned, dark brown eyed young man in the same attire. Looking to his right before back ahead. Both having been looking at well what must have been a fourth passenger. The seven female servants seeing a slight tanned skinned man's arm covered in dark blue suit sleeves holding a small half empty glass of rum with ice in it. The girls though, not having to wait any longer. As the view like usual in such a quick manner, changed to the fourth passenger.

This man again had lightly tanned skin, well-kept if not a little long and messy dark almost black hair, a goatee with the sides saved off a bit, wearing a pair of sunglasses over his what could be guessed dark brown eyes. The rest of his suit which was again dark blue, with a bit of mostly faded white pinstripes on it could be seen. His dress jacket opened up showing his light aqua blue collared shirt and his blue detailed tie. This man was looking back at the soldiers. Mainly the one sitting in the back. The man seeming to have enough of this rather awkward silence.

"I feel like you're driving me to court martial. This is crazy. What did I do?" The well-dressed man asked calmly and bluntly, though it seemed the soldiers around him weren't going to answer. So he decided to just keep on talking till someone answered him back "I feel like you're gonna pull over and snuff me. What, you're not allowed to talk?"

["I kind of don't like him already."] Jeanne Alter muttered, as she already could tell this man by his tone alone was a bit of an annoyance or liked to get under peoples skin. I mean she had way back then, but ever since she'd gotten use to her sisters…well not as much. That and for some odd reason she felt she needed to be a good role model in her own way for Lily Jeanne. Still she watched on with the others in silence once more

["Well I kind of like him already myself."] Da-Vinci muttered, finding an odd connection to this man already. Maybe it was because like him, she liked for harmless fun to get under peoples skin at times; especially the silent types. Again all for good fun, that and she herself didn't want to be too much of a bad influence on her little sister. But for now she would watched the movie and see if she kept her opinion the same, though she wondered what the others may think of the man sooner or later

"Hey, Forest!" The well-dressed man quipped, a bit louder before the very same solider finally answered back

"We can talk, sir." The Solider or Forest as he was referred to now answered, keeping his eyes lowered for some reason

"Oh, I see. So it's personal?" The well dress man remarked calmly yet again with a bluntness and slight sarcasm in his tone too ; before taking another sip of his drink

["Wonder why they're acting like that though?"] Jeanne asked aloud, as she found it a bit odd even if she'd been around people like that in her life during the war between France and Britain. Again she always found that behavior at times odd, especially when some of the men she spoke with did the same before just leaving her be

["Maybe we'll find out soon."] Mecha-Eli-Chan simply replied back as they kept on watching the scene unfold before them

"No, you intimidate them." The driver answered, the camera showing it was a peach skinned woman with also brown eyes and wearing like everyone else the standard military equipment. Mecha-Eli-Chan just gave Jeanne a nod, Jeanna sheepishly smiling and nodding back as yeah there was the answer

"Dear God, you're a woman. I honestly, I couldn't have called that. I mean, I would apologize, but isn't that what we're going for here. I thought of you as a soldier first." The well-dressed man quipped, as he seemed to be trying get a slight better look at the drivers face. Though the girls, aside from Mecha-Eli-Chan and Jeanne Lily seemed to get a little irked at the mans' sudden change with the woman now

"I'm an airman." The driver simply stated, as she was calm as ever seeming to be expecting this from the well-dressed man. Giving most of the girls an idea, maybe he had a less than…clean reputation. They could tell he was some big shot since well, he had a whole small unit of soldiers in armored Humvees driving him off to who knows where

"Well you have actually excellent bone structure there. I'm kinda...having a hard time not looking at you now. Is that weird?" The well-dressed man remarked as it seemed to get a laugh out of everyone, despite how it sounded "C'mon. It's ok, laugh. Hey!"

["Graw, umf."] Frankenstein simply growled as she chuckled a little too for whatever reason

["Well he seems nice enough."] Lily Jeanne stated, smiling a bit at the man's joke even if she really didn't seem to get it

["Just wait squirt, you'll see soon."] Jeanne Alter remarked as she could tell what kind of guys the well-dressed man was much easier now. It was only a matter of time before he showed it, both Da-Vinci sisters seemed to nod in silent agreement as they watched on. Seeing the view changed to the male solider in the front seeming much more at ease now

"Sir, I have a question to ask." The male solider asked seeming kind of giddy to ask it, the view quickly switching back to the well-dressed man

"Yes, please." The well-dressed man simply replied as the scene snapped yet again back onto the male solider in the front

"It is true you went 12-for-12 with last year's Maxim cover models?" The male solider in the front asked, smirking just a bit with intrigue

["What does 12 to 12 mean big sisters?"] Jeanne Lily asked innocently, as Jeanne blushed already having a good idea what it meant, while Jeanne Alter smirked but decided to not tell her little sister

["It means when a man and woman-"] Mecha-Eli-Chan began to say, before Frankenstein covered her mouth. The Mecha servant looking to quickly see Fran giving her a frown

["GRAW!"] Fran scolded, as Mecha-Eli-Chan rolled her eyes, looking back at the youngest Jeanne sister and shrugged. Before she and the those involved in this yet again move their attention back to the movie. Seeing the scene switch yet again to the well-dressed man

"That is an excellent question. Yes and no. March and I had a scheduling conflict, but fortunately the Christmas cover was twins. Anything else?" The well-dressed man stated, as the servants now had a much better idea on what kind of person this well-dressed man was. Well most, aside from Lily Jeanne who was even more confused, but no one was going to tell her… mainly since they had a feeling Jeanne would give them quiet the tongue lashing if they did so with her little sister. Though as they watched, the saw the scene do a quick change to the solider sitting next to the well-dressed man raising up his hand, the well-dressed man seeming a bit surprised at the rather childlike action

"You're kidding me with a hand up, right?" The well-dressed man asked, as the same solider quickly put his hand down seeing it as a dork move kind of. Jeanne Alter and Dan-Vinci thought the same to be perfectly honest, but kept that to themselves

"Is it cool if I take a picture with you?" The soldier asked hoping so, as it seemed fine with the well-dressed

"Yes, it's very cool." The well-dressed man stated, as the solider seemed even more giddy, handing it back to the solider in the passenger seat front side. Before moving closer to the well-dressed man for the picture to be taken

["He really must be one important man if people want a picture with him. Then again like you and me big sis. Can't blame them."] Lily Da-Vinci happily, if not a little smugly stated to the older Da-Vinci

["You bet ya baby sis."] Da-Vinci quipped, smirking as both sisters were smiling in pride of that fact. The others rolling their eyes a bit at their friends slightly more than healthy opinion on themselves as they watched on

"I don't wanna see this on your MySpace page." The well-dressed man exclaimed, as the solider taking the picture with him did a peace sign "Please, no gang signs… no, throw it up, I'm kidding. Yeah, peace. I love peace. I'd be outta job with peace."

"C'mon. Just click it." The solider showing off the peace sign said, as the one in the front was seeming to take his time a bit "Don't change the settings, just click it."

Though as the servants watched, they wondered what this movie was even about. Kind of seemed odd already. But nice too, since it seemed so calm and at peaceful so far. Lily Jeanne couldn't help but feel like maybe this movie was going to be a heartwarming one.

["You know this might just be one heartwarming-"] Lily Jeanne began to happily say, only to be cut off very quickly

{BOOM!}

["Movie…"] Lily Jeanne whispered as she'd flinched back a bit from the sudden explosion which took out two of the four Humvee's in the back, the others a well did the same even

Jeanne Alter herself maybe expecting this, but was surprised none the less. While Mecha-Eli-Chan who also didn't expect this to happen, didn't show much of her internal surprise from it. Jeanne covered her mouth from what just happened, Fran doing the same as the two watched intensely. The Da-Vinci sister were just wide eyed and silent from the sudden explosion. Lily Jeanne was the only one to openly show her shocked. All of them watching on as the car the well-dressed man in stop, while the Humvee that had been in front of them exploded.

"What's going on?" The well-dressed man asked, wide eyed a bit and seeming to be in a state of silent shock as the driver herself was screaming orders. While getting her gun ready along with the other two soldiers with her getting ready also. Though as the driver got out, she was quickly shot down as she fell to the ground dead by gunfire

["And one's down…"] Jeanne Alter muttered as she expected this to start happening, though looking at her sisters she felt bad seeing their looks of shock at the scene going downhill just like that; especially Lily Jeanne

["Graw!"] Frank growled, as she watched tensely. Now holding her knees to up with her arms, hoping things got resolved quickly were they soldiers and even the well-dressed man were saved just in the nick of time

"Jimmy, stay with Stark!" The male solider in the front ordered to the solider in the back or now Jimmy. Before getting out of the Humvee "Lie down!"

The well-dressed man or Stark now, quickly followed the man's order as he lied down. But seeing the solider now firing back while positioned on the Humvee for an easier time aiming. While the screams of other dying soldiers could be hear on their side. But the man was quickly shot down, one of the bullets hitting the window which was able to stop it just enough to only make a semi-large crack in it.

"Son of a bitch!" Jimmy screamed as he had his gun ready, making his way of out of the car quickly now as Stark began to freak out seeing this

"Wait, wait, give me a gun!" Stark pleaded as he knew for a fact, he was good as dead if he ATLEAST didn't have some kind of firearm with him. The scene quickly switching back to Jimmy who was already out and had closed the door behind him, but still having heard Stark

"Stay here!" Jimmy ordered, looking back at him before turning around. Only to get shoot up just as easily as the others

["NO!"] Lily Jeanne yelled a little, as she felt sad the soldiers were killed so quickly. Jeanne simply hugged Lily Jeanne closer to her now as they all kept on watching. Even seeing some of the bullets had hit a bit through the metal door of the Humvee

Thankfully it seemed Stark hadn't been hit, but the look on his face and the fact everything around him became harder to hear indicated this was effecting him in another way. As only the sounds of what would be called the effect of Shellshock echoed. Looking around suddenly realizing this was REALLY happening. The scene quickly changing, as the servants saw some of the reaming surviving solider from the other destroyed Humvee's shot down just as quickly as the rest. While the small remainder of survivors were doing what they could to avoid being shot down too. Stark meanwhile in a fit of flight or fight, stumbled out of the Humvee on his side. Ducking down a bit as hear bullets bounce off near him. Then quickly began to just run away into the desert itself. For any form of cover and a spot to hide out. The servants all had a word or two to say about that action even if it was under the influence of a flight or fight daze.

["No, you should have stay hidden in the truck you idiot!"] Lily Da-Vinci yelled irritably at the man's actions, like he thought being outside would make a difference

[Totally should have hid under it. At least then you'd have a crap tone of metal keeping you safe moron!"] Jeanne Altar yelled next angrily. As she also found Starks need to find a hiding spot outside the large armored if barley damaged Humvee, rather stupid. Even he wasn't given much choice while avoiding being shot at or blow up

["True. He could have used the truck to make a get a way when it all calmed down. As the likely hood of the reaming soldiers surviving after a mass number of theirs were quickly shot down was only about a 27 % chance."] Mecha- Eli-Chan exclaimed calmly, as even if was a movie she was still going to use as much logic as she could on it

["Then again if he did, the truck maybe have been shot at. Even blow up by whoever was attacking."] Jeanne replied back quickly, as she did find the others logic understandable at least. But found the flaw in it too

["Not to mention all other types of factors."] Da-Vinci simply added in as, many factors of escape and death for Stark in this situation arose. She even wondered if she were there in real life, if she could probably save the day somehow. She was confident in that regard, little too much if you asked anyone else

["Graw, graw!"] Fran quickly growled, in total agreement with Jeanne's side of the mini-argument

["I just hope Mister Stark gets out okay…"] Jeanne Lily muttered, as she really did. Seconds later she and the others watched on, ceasing the mini-argument before it went on any longer

Now they were seeing Stark taking in a quick few deep breaths, before pulling out a phone and most likely calling someone for help. Who it could be, they had no idea. But suddenly the girls could hear something whoosh right next to Stark's left a few inches away. Stark to looking as it showed a green colored missile. It was small and had a blinking red light. Stark himself though was wide eyed to in utter shock. When he and the girls watching, saw the words on the side of the missile saying 'STARK INDUSTRIES' in bold white lettering. Stark himself quickly tried to get up in a sloppy panic filled fashion. Before the missile went off and Stark was blow back.

["EH!"] Jeanne and Jeanne Lily only screamed at the sight of Stark taking on a somewhat medium sized explosion head on. Only to be pushed back as he fell to the ground, the others cringed a bit too; but were silent

["Gonna feel that one later on. Can't imagine how worse it could get for him."] Jeanne Altar muttered, before she and the rest quickly found out how really damaging this had been to Stark

As the girls saw the scene switch quickly to Stark upper half. His back against the ground in pain, his suit was dirty and his face a little scuffed up. With barley any wounds to be seen. As they watched seeing Stark slowly begin to stir back awake fully if not in a daze. His ear drumming ringing to as the sounds of battle were muffled. Yet again though, his wounds were much worse despite his appearance showed currently.

Stark himself more awake now, looked up to seeing his light blue dress shirt begin to turn red. Very dark red and quickly. In an extreme moment of slowly rising horror. He was able to rip his shirt open showing he'd been wearing a vest of Kevlar. But even that didn't seem to protect him as dark red blood was seeping from underneath the Kevlar vest too. Stark seeming to realize what had happened or something on that line. Laid his head back seeming that he'd become so filled with horror, that he was just calm now.

The girls meanwhile were shocked somewhat. Some more the others, the Jeanne sisters just cringing at what must have been the wounds inflicted on him. Fran cringing a lot as she frowned at the sight. Mecha-Eli-Chan already calculating that Starks chances of survival were basically 0%. Lily Da-Vinci also cringed at the sight, even if it was a movie she could feel it somewhat. The only one to seem visibly unnerved by Starks wounds was the older Da-Vinci.

["Oh god…oh god…oh god…"] Da-Vinci muttered, as the other could hear her but were too well in their own state of cringe to notice as they watched the scene slowly start to become engulfed in a blinding white light by the sun's rays

["It's okay big sister. You're okay."] Lily Da-Vinci whispered to her older sister, as again she only knew what happened to original Da-Vinci after she'd been re-summoned

Da-Vinci simply smiled a little at her litter sisters kind words. Giving the small her a quick kiss on the cheek as a big sister thank you. But still seeing Stark's injuries reminded her of how she'd first died well…again. By that… priest. She didn't even want to say his name ever again. She refused to give that man the same wording as decent people. To Da-Vinci the priest was a unnatural abomination. Still she also cringed at Starks wounds because she could already picture that underneath the Kevlar vest. What a mess of shredded flesh and bones, with most likely his heart exposed must have been under the Kevlar vest. Then again she could only guess that part. Still she also guessed Stark most likely wasn't screaming in pain right now. Was because his body was in too much shock to properly simulate the extreme pain of having your chest grievously wounded. But still Da-Vinci and the rest went silent again, as the screen now was completely white and the sounds of gun fire had faded.

But as they watched on, they saw the screen become more dimmed and what looked like a piece of cloth covering the screen with only a small orb of light to be seen in the center. Though they quickly saw what was actually occurring. As the view switched showing a bag pulled off of a waking up and somewhat blood covered Stark.

["Okay I take it back, I think this just got way worse for Stark."] Jeanne Alter quickly quipped as the others just nodded in silent agreement

Stark meanwhile was in a large dark room, not seeing the few men behind him with guns and the one's on his sides with guns too. That and Stark could feel he was tied to a chair. But all he and the girls watching, could hear was the man who'd pulled the bag off his head, sternly talking in Arabic.

Honestly Stark had no idea what the man was saying at all. But now fully awake or awake enough. He and the girls saw as the view changed quickly to show in front of him hiding in the shadows. Many more armed men looking at him. The girls watching meanwhile saw the view change once more back to Stark. Showing Stark and the soldiers around him in a more full view. Stark having some slight bloody bandages around his chest and stomach even. But as the girls watched, they again wondered what the heck this movie was even about now. That was until they got their answer, in big bold golden metal themed letter.

.

IRON MAN

.

.

.

The girl were silent and confused. Mainly because they had NO idea what the title of the movie and what just occurred before them. Had anything to do with one another. All aside from Lily Jeanne who suddenly had a very interesting idea on what this movie was about. Then again it seemed the others had let the whole Marvel thing slip by them. But still she couldn't help but smile in glee.

["Iron Man?"] The rest of the girls said loudly, confused as Lily Jeanne's guess was correct. It seemed the others had already forgotten about the whole Marvel thing of this movie. But she kept quiet to not ruin the surprise as she and the others watched on

The screen meanwhile went black once more as the movie title vanished, before a new scene appeared before the girls. Seeing a large ball room with many tables, many people and just giving off the vibe of a party for one Mr. Stark. If the screened images of Stark in the ballroom were any indication. They saw a few banners too saying 'APOGEE AWARD For Design & Engineering Excellence'. Another set of words also told the girls what was currently going on, as it said 'Las Vegas, 36 Hours Earlier' all in white bold lettering like the others so far before it vanished.

-"Tony Stark."- A man's voice suddenly said, as the crowd clapped and the ball room's light dimmed. The images of Stark changing to show him yet again, on the cover of WIRED magazines as he posed like a mighty god looking down on those beneath him. The side title saying 'The MIND OF TONY STARK' cementing his intelligences to the crowd in the movie and the girls

["Hm what I wouldn't give to have this kind of fame now a days."] Da-Vinci mused in fantastical glee, at the thought of her being praised for all the good she could be doing for humanity in this century. Stupid Gordes and stupid mage rules in general, her genius was being leashed if anyone were to ask her honest opinion. Still the others stayed at Da-Vinci's musing, watching on

-"Visionary. Genius. American patriot."- The man's voice kept on as the images changed to a black and white photo of what must have been the child Tony Stark -"Even from an early age, the son of legendary weapons developer Howard Stark quickly stole the spotlight with his brilliant and unique mind."-

The view meanwhile changed showing the crowd watching. Most of their faces shrouded by the darkness of the room with only the dimmed light to illuminate some of their facial features. All but one man, who was peach skinned, bald with a grey thick beard, had brown eyes and wearing a dark suit. He seemed to stick out the most. For Mecha-Eli-Chan, Fran and Da-Vinci. They at least found that rather odd why they focused on this man in particular. But paid attention to scene more to see if they got a solid answer.

-"At age four, he built his first circuit board. At age six, his first engine. And at seventeen, he graduated Summa Cum Laude from MIT.Then, the passing of a titan."- The man speaking in this introducing to Tony Stark explained. Showing various images of the young Tony. From his youth to his teens. Until the next image changed showed to girls a newspaper with Tony's father and the head liner saying 'Nation Mourns Passing of Husband and Wife'. Before yet again the images on the screen showing Howard with a man looking similar to one who'd been sitting at the table. Both men smiling like good old friends in the photo-"Howard Stark's lifelong friend and ally Obadiah Stane, steps in to help fill the gap left by the legendary founder."-

["Oh to lose one's father… and mother how sad."] Jeanne stated as Lily Jeanne and Fran nodded in silent agreement. Mecha-Eli-Chan and Jeanne Alter just shrugged a bit, while the Da-Vinci sisters didn't seem to have any real opinion on Jeanne's statement. More focused on seeing where this movie was going to take them

-"Until at age 21, the prodigal son returns, and is anointed the new CEO of Stark Industries. With the keys to the kingdom, Tony ushers in a new era for his father's legacy, creating smarter weapons, advanced robotics, satellite targeting."- The narrator explained on as more images changed to a more older Tony now on a magazine called the 'Rolling Stone', followed by a whole background of version images which became smaller and smaller, before forming into the American flag -"Today, Tony Stark has changed the face of the weapons industry, by ensuring freedom and protecting America and her interests around the globe."-

Clapping could be heard from the crowd, the last image of Tony stark standing proudly with three jets on each side of him before it faded to black, the view changing. Showing the crowd once more, before showing a dark skinned man in a dark blue military uniform standing now at the podium. The clapping ceases a few moments later as a spot light shined onto the man himself.

"As liaison to Stark Industries, I've had the unique privilege of serving with a real patriot. He is my friend and he is my great mentor. Ladies and gentlemen, it is my honor to present this year's Apogee Award to Mr. Tony Stark!" The man said proudly, more jazzy music starting up as the clapping began again

Though as the spot light moved from the podium speaker, to the table with the same older man who the girls knew now was Obadiah thanks to the introduction a minuet ago. It seemed that Tony wasn't there. Obadiah stopped clapping, and shook his head a silent 'No'.

["Well that's a little rude."] Jeanne stated as only Fran and Lily Jeanne seemed to agree with her. The rest didn't have any opinion really, instead watching on to see if Tony would make some kind of grand entrance

"Tony?" The podium man asked yet again, though still nothing as the man seeming to be keeping calm. But look a bit irked by Tony's actions, before the view changed back to Obadiah, getting up and walking over to the stage. Seconds later Obadiah was on stage with the podium man, both smiling a little as Obadiah was handed the award. The podium man standing behind him, as the clapping went on a bit more

"Thank you, Colonel. This is beautiful. Thank you. Thank you all very much. This is wonderful." Obadiah said as the clapping ceased and it went silent for a few seconds. The servants cringing a little from the awkwardness, even Mech-Eli-Chan somewhat. Obioha deciding to address the crow and break the tension "Well, I'm not Tony Stark."

The crowed laughed a little at the small joke, while Lily Jeanne, Lily Da-Vinci and surprisingly Jeanne Alter chuckled themselves as Obadiah continued on.

"But if I were Tony… I would tell you how honored I feel, and what a joy it is to receive this very prestigious award." Obioha exclaimed happily, as he looked at the award a bit then back to the crowd "Tony… you know, the best thing about Tony is also the worst thing. He's always working."

["3…2..1."] The Da Vinci sisters suddenly started to count down, the other servants aside form Mech-Eli-Chan were confused before suddenly the scene changed a second later

.

.

.

The scene now showed Tony rolling dice onto a poker table, people swarmed around him and two exotic woman on both sides of him too. Seeming that he got a good roll, as everyone began to cheer while Tony did a small victory pump.

["Called it!"] The Da Vinci sisters cheered in glee, as they could tell from what they'd seen of Tony already. He would be this sort of man, the one who'd rather gamble and pick up hot chicks instead of receiving an award. The others just rolled their eyes a bit, oh yeah they could see some similarities already between the Da-Vinci sisters and Tony in the movie

"C'mon!" Tony shouted in utter satisfaction at his lucky roll, looking over to the woman on his right side as they both began to talk in a flirty manner "We should just stay till the morning."

[And…BUSTED!"] Jeanne Alter yelled this time, as she and the girls saw the man on the podium come up to Tony; giving him an irked if not relaxed glare

"You ARE, unbelievable." The Podium man simply stated, beyond unamused with Tony right now

"Oh, no. They roped you into this?" Tony nonchalantly asked, but in a manner that showed these two were good friends in the end

"Nobody roped me into anything. But they told me that if I presented you with an award, you'd be deeply honored." The Podium man exclaimed, calmer then he should be considering; which the girls guessed was because he was rather use to Tony's antics such as this

"Of course I'd be deeply honored. And it's you , that's great. So when do we do it?" Tony asked, looking back at the table to call for just one more round

"It's right here." The Podium man quipped, holding up the award in his hand as Tony took a gander at it

"There you go. There it is. That was easy… I'm so sorry." Tony stated as he took the award, giving his friend the best heartfelt apology he could

"Yeah, it's OK." The Podium man exclaims, putting emphasis on the 'OK' since it pretty obvious it wasn't

"Wow, would you look at that. That's... that's something else. I don't have any of those floating around." Tony muttered, handing off his award to the pretty woman to his right he'd been starting to flirt with as she held it. Before looking back at the table and taking the two red dices he'd throw "All right, ride. Give me a hand, will you?"

The woman simply did so, blowing rather… seductively into Tony's hand while giving him what most would call bed room eyes the whole two seconds. Jeanne had at least covered Lily Jeanne's eyes those very two seconds too. Much to the younger Jeanne sisters slight irritation when her elder sister Jeanne would get too protective.

"OK, you too." Tony stated as he held the dice up to the Podium man's face, who himself just gave Tony a slight 'Really?' look

"I don't blow on man's hands." The Podium man exclaimed, though Tony did try to talk him into it; the Podium man seconds later just light smacked Tony's hand forcing the dice to roll on the table

"There it is! It's the Lieutenant Colonel Rhodes' roll, and..." Tony yelled as they all watched the dice roll, only it was a bad roll and everyone around groaned from the sight

"That's what happens." The now named Rhode stated, not sorry at all for what just happened as Tony seemed to take it in strides

"Worse things have happened, I think we're gonna be fine. Color me up okay?" Tony remarked as it seemed like this happened way more times than it should have with the man

Then the scene did a quick switch showing Tony and Rhodes walking out of the place with a few of Tony's bodyguards behind them for extra protection.

"This is where I exit." Rhodes stated seeming a bit happier now, as he and Tony did a quick hand shake

"Alright." Tony happily replied back as Rhode let him go and began making his way off to Tony's left

"Tomorrow don't be late."" Rhode reminded his friend, as he wanted to make sure that Tony understood the plan. Though he had a feeling it wouldn't be that simple when it came to his old friend

"Yeah, you can count on it." Tony quickly retorted back as he was for sure not going to be there on time, just wasn't his style when it came down to it unless it was very urgent he does so

"I'm serious." Rhode's said one more time, with slight more stern tone as he really… REALLY need to make sure Tony understood what he meant by 'Don't be late'

"I know, I know." Tony responded back yet again, as he seemed amused a bit by his friends actions. Keeping path ahead as his body guards followed him. He looked to see someone dressed as Cesar saying hello to a few people "Render unto Caesar that which is Caesar's. There you go."

Tony at the same time of saying his little quote, handed the man the award from tonight's ceremony as the Caesar dressed man was rather stunned by meeting Tony Stark and having in his hand one heck of an award. The girls all chuckled a bit at this for a moment.

["Hehe, I wonder if our Caesar would look like that if he wasn't so fat."] Lily Jeanne rather bluntly stated as the girls chuckled again

["Lily I wouldn't say it like that. But I will agree, the man could work on his weight. Hehe, still I'm sure he'd be a knock out with the ladies."] Jeanne quipped kindly as she wasn't happy about Lily's bluntness, but was still amused herself

["Then again, I'm sure his wife would have something to say on that if that was the case."] Da-Vinci stated, as the girls all shivered for a second when it came to Creasers… ahem… somewhat scary wife

-Elsewhere in Chaldea at the very same moment…-

"ACHOO!" One round peach skinned, blue eyed, brown haired man in a rather elegant set of red and light tanned clothing with nice black boots sneezed. His leaf like crown almost falling off from the force of the sneeze alone

"Oh bless you once again my dear Caesar." A lovely pale skinned, green haired, green eyed woman in a white silk dress, with black pumps and wearing some gold on her reeled back kindly. Though she chuckled some too "My you must popular, they say when you sneeze it mean's people are speaking of you."

"If that is so Cleopatra. I wonder if it's some of the lovely jewels of Chaldea!" Caesar stated with a rather slightly lustful tone, but quickly that shivered to utter fear for his life when he felt two arms wrap around his neck and felt Cleopatra rest her head on his

"Oh but why would you wonder that my dear…" Cleopatra stated in WAY too loving tone as she began to slowly if not painfully hold her beloved Caesar in a love filled chock hold. Not a full one, but enough to get her point across "When you have…me. Hehe."

"O-Of course my dear…n-no one can match to you. No one…heh…hehe…." Caesar quickly exclaimed, as it was a moment before he felt his neck released and Cleopatra kiss him on his cheek

"Aw what a sweet husband you are. Love you!" Cleopatra happily sung as she moved over to her personal laptop and began browsing through something call 'Amazon' "Now let's find some more dresses for me!"

Meanwhile Caesar though loving the woman Cleopatra and finally getting official hitched in this era, which did not including threats of being burnt alive viva giant golden snake construct. Nope….NO…none of that all… but still he loved the woman, though knew she was a bit… easy to jealously at times. So instead of what most would assumed he'd look up, which is food. Going to his own laptop, he did his best to hid the screen as he typed in. 'HELP, my crazy hot wife is terrifying. What should I do?!' to see if any suggestions would show up. If so then thank the gods. If not… then damn the gods. You hear him, DAMN THEM ALL TO HELL.

-Back with the girls-

Still after the small chuckle fest, the kept on watching. Seeing it change showing Tony outside being escorted to his car with his bodyguard around, an older man in a black suit who must have been his driver moving to the back car door to open it for Tony.

"Mr. Stark. Excuse me!" A blonde haired woman in a business dress attire yelled, coming up as two of Tony's body guards blocked her off. The woman a bit startled for the moment. Kept her composure as she turned her attention back to Tony. Who himself still hadn't looked back at her yet "Christine Everheart, Vanity Fair magazine. Can I ask you a couple of questions?"

"She's cute." Tony's driver whispered as Tony began to turn around to see about this Christine

"She's alright?" Tony muttered, before finally setting his eyes on the fair skinned, blue eyed, blonde bombshell of a magazine reporter before him "Hi."

"Hi." Christine quickly replied back as the guards let her by as she and Tony meet in the middle of the space between them "It's okay?"

"Yeah. Okay, go." Tony quipped as if was for a bombshell like little miss reporter here, he'd make time

"You've been called the Da Vinci of our time. What do you say to that?" Christine first asked as that seemed to be the best question to butter Tony up, before she got to the REAL questions she wanted to ask the man

["Heh maybe a stretch but alright."] Da Vinci muttered to her little sister still sitting on her lap, as Lily Da Vinci nodded in agreement with her big sister

"Absolutely ridiculous. I don't paint." Tony answered back, calm and cool like usual since he'd dealt with people like this before already feeling she had much more venomous questions

["THAT'S NOT ALL WE DID!"] Both Da-Vinci sisters screamed, a bit irked as there was always those stupid little comments on their past lives from the staff. Mostly for fun, but some with a more ill will at times. The others a bit startled but the sudden yelling, aside from Mecha Eli-Chan just let it be before paying attention back to the movie

"And what do you say to your other nickname, the Merchant of Death?" Christen asked once more, smirking a little ever so sweetly at that too

"That's not bad." Tony replied, keeping his calm like he usually did when these sorts of questions came up "Let me guess... Berkeley?"

"Brown, actually." Christine corrected, waiting to see what else Tony had to say and hopefully get something good from this little exchange

"Well, Ms. Brown. It's an imperfect world, but it's the only one we've got. I guarantee you the day weapons are no longer needed to keep the peace, we'll start making bricks and beams for baby hospitals." Tony proclaimed, with a much more serious tone and a slight glare from underneath the pair of lightly colored shades he was wearing

"Rehearse that much?" Kristine asked as by this point she had a small recording device out as Tony spoke into it

"Every night in front of the mirror before bedtime." Tony snarked back, smiling just a bit now as he was already having some plans that involved the bombshell reporter before him

"I can see that." Kristine remarked, feeling more and more unimpressive with Tony so far if his attitude was anything to show

" I'd like to show you firsthand." Tony quipped, letting it out there just like that as Kristine and the girls aside from Lily Jeanne all knew what Tony was asking

["Graw, UMF…"] Fran growled as she was a bit surprised at how forward Tony seemed to be

["Got that right Fran, like wow. But hey at least he's honest about his wants when it comes to women."] Jeanne Alter remarked smirking as she found some even more respected for Tony now. Lily Jeanne was still confused while the rest just stayed quiet. Which irked the young saint that she was the only one confused, but just let it be and kept watching the movie

"All I want is the serious answer." Kristine asked, a bit irked by this point at wasting her time with his guy. Tony seeming to get that she wasn't in the mood for games, crossed his arms before addressing the woman once more

"Okay, here is serious. My old man had a philosophy. "Peace means having a bigger stick than the other guy.". Tony started to explain, before Kristine cut him off before he could possibly say more

"That's a great line, coming from a guy selling the sticks." Kristine chastise as that seemed to finally irked Tony by just a bit

"My father helped defeat Nazis. He worked on the Manhattan Project. A lot of people, including your professors at Brown, would call that being a hero." Tony argued back, as the girls though not knowing much on those events aside from maybe a few basics. Couldn't help but agree some with Tony's statement

"And a lot of people would also call that war-profiteering." Kristine counter argued as the girls once again could help but also agree with the woman as it did sound like such an act and during peace times for what they could tell of this world so far

"Tell me, do you plan to report on the millions we've saved by advancing medical technology or kept from starvation with our intelli-crops. All those breakthroughs. Military funding, honey." Tony explained yet again, much more stern and blunt as the girls again couldn't help but most agree with Tony. Well aside from Fran, Jeanne and Jeanne Lily who huffed some

"Wow…" Christine quipped as she shook her head, just blown away but Tony's bluntness. But kept her cool still "Did you ever lose an hour of sleep your whole life?"

"I'd be prepared to lose a few with you." Tony simply said once more, as for a moment it was silent between the two… too quiet

Then out of nowhere, the scene changed to what the girls could guess was Tony's room. Before suddenly they could see Kristine and Tony making out like wild animals on top of his bed. Their clothes still on but ruffled and loose.

["GET SOME!"] Jeanne Alter, Lily Da Vinci and Da Vinci cheered with a few whistles, while Fran covered her face which was a bit flushed now, Mech Eli-Chan sighed seeing this coming and Jeanne well…

["Big sis what are you doing?!"] Lily Jeanne yelled in shock, as her elder sister Jeanne again was covering her eyes with her right hand; but now covered left her ear with her left hand and her right ear by pressing the younger Jeanne's head against her left breast

["Protecting my baby sisters innocents!"] Jeanne answered with a panicked big sister tone, as she and the girls watched the scene unfold. Tony letting out a scream of joy as the two rolled off the bed and onto the other side of the floor

Then the scene changed once more. Now showing Kristine laying most likely naked and alone in Tony's bed. It was quiet, though by this point Lily Jeanne had broken free of her elder sisters overprotective hold. Seeing the odd scene before her.

["Is that all, elder sister you're silly hehe."] Lily Jeanne in her odd childlike innocents quipped, as she just saw someone sleeping

["Yeah, you really are big sis."] Jeanne Alter teased a bit, as Fran giggled a bit, while Da Vinci and Lily Da Vinci chuckled. Mech Eli-Chan for once smirked a bit at the small sisterly tease she saw with the Jeanne sisters. Before they all just kept on watching, which showed Kristine wake up before looking around; followed by the windows fading around her showing it was morning

"Good morning. It's 7 a.m. The weather in Malibu is 72 degrees with scattered clouds. The surf conditions are fair with waist to shoulder highlines, high tide will be at 10:52 a.m." A bodiless voice echoed from all around Kristine who looked around where she was, while holding a blanket to keep herself covered up

Then the view began to zoom out from Kristine. Before it showed from the outside a large home on the edge of a cliff side. With a few palm trees planted around a large pool to the right and the beach below the house. All in all, it gave off quiet the view of the city and ocean. A second later more words in bold white appeared later saying 'Malibu California' before vanishing. Then quick scene switch occurred, back inside th house in what the girls guess was the living room. Since it had such nice furniture placed around it and a large window with an ocean side view. Kristine walking in wearing the shirt Tony had on from last night.

"Tony. Hey, Tony!?" Kristine yelled out, curious at where the man she'd had quiet the night with had gone. But figured maybe he was elsewhere in the house, so she turned around before spotting a nice painting. Then looked to the left at a few more paintings before she spotted a interring blue colored panel, with a knob. Taking a moment to think it over, she just started to move her right hand to touch it and once she did it blinked red

"You are not authorized to access this area." The same bodiless voice from before said out of nowhere

"Jesus!" Kristine screamed as she backed up a bit at what in the world that was all about, before someone else finally came in from all the commotion

"That's Jarvis, he runs the house." A ginger haired, fair skinned and brown eyed woman in black business attire stated calmly from a few inches behind Kristine. While she held in her hands a clean and pressed white under shirt. Which must have been Kristine's "I've got your clothes here, they've been dry cleaned and pressed. And there's a car waiting for you outside that will take you anywhere you'd like to go."

"You… must be the famous Pepper Potts." Kristine calmer then seconds ago, stated as she smiled a little and walked over close to Pepper

"Indeed I am." Pepper replied back, a bit of pride in that statement there as she handed Kristine her dry clean shirt

"After all these years, Tony still has you picking up the dry cleaning?" Kristine replied back with a slight hint of smugness and teasing. The girls watching, even Mecha Eli-chan couldn't help but find the woman's attitude right now a bit annoying. As they could tell she was trying to get under Peppers skin for whatever reason

"I do anything and everything that Mr. Stark requires." Pepper simply answered, calm as ever as she smiled ever so sweetly "Including occasionally taking out the trash. Will that be all?"

["Holy crap, girls got quite a tongue!"] Jeanne remarked, as she was already starting to like Pepper by this scene alone

["Umf, umf, Gao!"] Fran screamed in agreement as she smiled widely at the amusing interaction between the women, while the rest nodded in silent agreement with the two

The scene quickly switched again. Showing Tony working on an engine in a car while he blasted some loud music in the background. Taking out a piece from the engine and inspecting it, before he set it to the side. Then grabbing a tool he looked up to a screen above the engine itself.

"Give me the exploded view." Tony asked, as yet again the bodiless voice or Jarvis as Pepper had explained acted immediately to the request

"The compression in cylinder 3 appears to be low." Jarvis explained showing an in-depth diagram of the engine itself

"Log that." Tony said as he began working on the engine a bit more, though in the background as the view switched back to his face alone. The girls could see Pepper who was holding a small cup of tea and a folder in her arms had make her way down a set of stairs, before opening the door

"I'll try again later, right now..." Pepper began to say, a she was also on the phone with someone, while as she entered the music lowered

"Please don't turn down my music." Tony simple requested of his assistant, but she ignored his plead as she was down here to mainly chastised the man

"I'll keep you posted." Pepper exclaimed as she hung up the phone, folder in her other hand as she held it open seconds later. While at the same time, turning her gaze upon Tony "You are supposed to be half way around the world right now."

"How did she take it?" Tony asked calmly, as he kept working on the engine. Though the girls watching all knew who Tony was referring too, aside from Lily Jeanne who again was just confused on that fact

"Like a champ." Pepper answered as that all there was to say of it, though she was glad the woman was gone and away now

"Why are you trying to hustle me out of here." Tony asked once more, as he began inspecting another piece of the engine

"Your flight was scheduled to leave an hour and a half ago." Pepper rebutted as she knew Tony was just trying to steer the conversation away to what she wanted to be addressed

"That's funny... I thought with it being my plane and all, that it would just wait for me to get there." Tony responded as he didn't really think there was any need for Pepper to get so uppity with his schedule at times, it wasn't like HIS plane was going anywhere without him

"I need to speak to you about couple of things before I get you outta the door." Pepper kept on through, as despite her bosses being late she really did need to inform him on a few more bits of information

"I mean, doesn't it kind of defeat the purpose of having your own plane if it departs before you arrive?" Tony calmly ranted as he ceased working on the engine now, turning around to face Pepper as he cleaned off the tool he'd been using with a red cloth

"Larry called, he's got another buyer for the Jackson Pollock in the wings, do you want it, yes or no?" Pepper yet again, just kept on as she decided Tony really was just staling to leave right now. Especially since he was working on something for fun, those usually took a good couple of hours if she didn't interfere

"Is it a good representation of his Spring Period?" Tony questioned as he placed the tool in his hand down, already having a feeling this was gonna be harder to sway Pepper to tell him what she really wanted to talk to him about

"Um… no the "Springs" is actually the neighborhood in East Hampton, where he lived and worked, not "spring" like the season." Pepper explained the best she could, but by damn's sakes she really hopped she'd get to tell Tony what she REALLY needed to

"So?" Tony questioned yet again, as he at least wanted to play around Peppers real issue for a bit more

"I think it's a fair example... I think it's incredibly overpriced." Pepper answered, as she was starting to get a bit impatient with Tony

"I need it. Buy it, store it." Tony answered getting up as he walked passed her, Pepper smiling that at least that first piece of info was finalized as she followed behind Tony

"Okay... the MI commencement speech-" Pepper started to go off more from the list she had, but Tony beat her to it this time

"Is in June... please, don't harangue me about that stuff. It's way, way, way…" Tony responded back, a bit of annoyance in his tone

"Well, they are haranguing me, so I'm gonna say yes..." Pepper simply quipped as she Tony turned back towards her now

"Well… deflect and absorb it. Don't transmit back to me." Tony quickly added in, as if Pepper was going to put him through this. Might as well make it so it works better for his schedule in the long run

"I need you to sign this before you get on the plane." Pepper just kept on saying, as she was ready to hand Tony a pen so he could sign a few papers she kept in the folder with her. Facing the folders context to the man, but Tony decided to now just bring it out in the open and stop playing around

"What are you trying to get rid of me for?" Tony asked curiously, as Pepper just let him finish before she answered "What, you got plans?"

"As a matter of fact, I do." Pepper simply explained, calm and collected as ever if not a bit tried now from just having to deal with her bosses rambling

"I don't like it when you have plans." Tony responded back

"I'm allowed to have plans on my birthday." Pepper argued back, yet again calm as ever but with a slight sternness to her tone

"It's your birthday?' Tony asked, as he'll be honest Pepper's birthday was probably one of the few he cared to remember… if only he wasn't so bad at remembering said close few associates birthdays

"Yes." Pepper answered, a bit of a teasing snark in her tone

"I knew that." Tony boasted, but he couldn't help but make sure…you know just in case "Already?"

"Yeah, isn't that strange, it's the same day as last year." Pepper sarcastically remarked at her bosses obvious lie, but she appreciated that he at least asked to make sure

"Well, get yourself something nice from me." Tony kindly stated, smiling a little to elevate the mood to a less awkward… ish one

"I already did." Pepper replied back

"And?" Tony asked wanting to know the answer or at least what it was for curiosities sake

"Oh, it was very nice. Very tasteful." Pepper answered, smiling a bit as she finally handed Tony the small cup of tea she'd made for him. That and he did a quick signature on the papers she wanted to "Thank you, Mr. Stark."

"You're welcome, Ms. Potts." Tony said, taking the whole shot of tea before handing the cup back to Pepper and making his way off passed her. Ready for the next part of his day "Alright then."

The scene changed once more. As a grey sports car zoomed past the screen, then back to the same black car Tony used for his personal uses following behind, quite a ways behind as both seemed to be racing. Then a switch in the scene, showed Tony pull into a parking lot before it zoomed out showing Tony's plane waiting there for him. A set of stairs on the side off the cockpit with Rohde standing on the top of it. Seeming to have been waiting for lord knows how long.

"You're good!" Tony quipped, laughing a bit as he got out of his car and shut the door second later, while his driver got out of the other car. Already have opened the trunk of said car, before walking over to it in a quick manner "I thought I've lost you back there."

"You did, sir. I had to cut across Mulholland." Tony's driver replied back, as he took out what must have been Tony's luggage and suit kept in a bag as to not get dirty

"I gotcha, I gotcha." Tony chuckled, while quickly the scene changed once again showing the two making their way now over to the plane

"What's wrong with you?" Rhode asked, a bit irked but keeping clam since this was Tony he was dealing with and he knew the man long enough; that this was just normal

"What?" Tony asked back, nonchalantly as he was ever so calm which really irked Rhode's

"Three hours!" Rhode's yelled, making his point clear that he was not at all happy that he had to wait three actual hours for Tony to get here. There was only so many self-played games of eye-spy one could do before going mad with boredom

"I got caught doing a piece for Vanity Fair." Tony quickly answered since he really did, wasn't his fault he got stuck with endless questions there. That and enjoying the perks of the free bar drinks along with the ladies who were flirting with him

"Three hours. For THREE hours, you got me standing here!" Rhode's re-instated once more as Tony by this point had made his way up the stairs with his driver making his way up too now. Tony turning around for a moment to face his good friend Rhodes

"I'm waiting on you now. Let's go. C'mon. Wheels up, rock and roll!" Tony remarked with a smirk as he made his way finally inside the plan. His driver, behind him to just drop off the bags at least; while Rhode's just sighed and followed

Now the scene switched showing the plan in air, before the view changed quickly to the inside. Showing Tony and Rhodes sitting down inside what was basically a private air home inside the plane itself. A blonde stewardess serving Tony some small snacks while Rhodes was reading some magazine.

"What're you reading, platypus?" Tony teased a bit, as he could tell Rhodes wasn't in the best of moods now

"Nothing." Rhodes answered back, calmly yet Tony again knew well enough that wasn't the case

"C'mon, sourpatch, don't be mad." Tony joked, as Rhodes resisted the urge to roll his eyes at the nickname

"I told you I'm not mad, I'm indifferent, okay?" Rhode simply explained as he hoped Tony would leave it at that

"I said I was sorry." Tony quipped, as a dark haired stewardess came over to give the two hot towels and take their orders

"Good morning, Mr. Stark." The stewardess cheerfully stated

"No need to apologize." Rhodes calmly argued as now he realized he was gonna have to deal with his old friend's attempts to make it up to him

"I said I was sorry, Hi." Tony repeated, before looking at the stewardess with a small smile to address her "I told him I was sorry but he..."

"I'm just indifferent right now. You don't respect yourself, so I know you don't respect me." Rhode explained as simply as he could to his old time man child genius of a friend

"I respect you." Tony argued as he the stewardess offered him the towel which he took

I'm just your babysitter and so, when you need your diaper changed. Thank you." Rhode began to argue back as he took the other hot towel offered to him; while keeping his sights on Tony "Let me know and I'll get you a bottle, okay?"

Hey, heat up the sake, will you?" Tony quickly suggested to the stewardess, as he knew that could at least help with Rhodes mood. Then looked back at Rhodes with an appreciative smile "Thanks for reminding me."

"I'm not taking... we're not drinking, we're working right now." Rhodes explained to the stewardess, before looking back at Tony "And you are constitutionally incapable of being responsible."

"It would be irresponsible not to drink. I'm just talking about the night cup." Tony quickly argued back in the most laid back way ever, shrugging a bit too

"Hot sake?" The stewardess asked once more

"Yes, two please." Tony answered, already making the orders weather Rhodes was for it or not

"No, just... I'm not drinking, I don't want any." Rhodes answered, as he was not going to drink. Nope, not one….

.

.

.

"See THAT'S what I'm talking about. When I get up in the morning, and I'm putting on my uniform you know what I recognize!?" Rhodes said, in a slur of drunkenness. A few empty glasses on the wooden table in the roomy cabin. Some music playing and a small disco ball above the him and Tony. Rhodes even had his coat off, while on the couch leaning a bit against an also mostly likely a drunk Tony "I see in that mirror that every person that's got this uniform will get my back!"

"Here we go again. I'm not like you…" The drunk Tony exclaimed, seeming tired and a bit distracted

"No, you don't have to be like me. But you're more than... yes you are." The drunk Rhodes responded back, seeming as if even in his drunk state. He was trying to give his old friend some wise advice for his life ahead

"Will you excuse me, I'm a little bit distracted here." Tony replied, as the view panned out. Showing the same stewardess in more skimpy versions of their uniforms. On using well poles that had been installed for use, giving the two men or at least Tony a good show

"No, you can't be distracted right now. Listen to me!" The drunk Rhodes argued, as Tony just watched the two dancers well dance

Meanwhile without warning in the group of seven watching. Jeanne once more covered her baby sisters eyes. Even Jeanne Alter joined in covering her baby sisters ears without realizing, much to the youngest Jeanne sisters irk for third time already. While the Da-Vinci sisters and Fran chuckle at the sight. Mecha Eli-Chan again just sighed, rolling her eyes.

Then the scene changed, showing a military base. With people walking around, planes being loaded and all the usual at such bases. The name 'Bagram Air Base, Afghanistan' in bold lettering appeared on the scene for a moment before vanishing like all the other times. The view now panning to the right a bit to show Tony's planed having landed. Stairs brought to the entrance. Before Tony wearing an all too familiar suit, tie and sunglasses began walking down them. A group of military officials from America and Afghanistan waiting for him at the bottom.

"General." Tony said, as he made his way to the solid ground. Walking up to an older man who must have been the general here. Taking his hand out, as the general shook it, with Tony shaking back a few moments before they let go of one another

"Welcome, Mr. Stark. We look forward to your weapons presentation." The general explained, as Tony gave him a small nod of understanding, before Tony started to shake a few more of the officials hands as well

As the girls watched the scene change like always so far, they saw Tony now standing in the desert with a large open area behind him and every so familiar snow peaked mountains even further behind that. Tony standing near the edge of the observation part of the field, looking the most professional he had so far to the girls.

"Is it better to be feared or respected?" Tony began to say, as the screen panned over the group of military official who were waiting to see what Tony had to offer them "And I say, is it too much to ask for both. With that in mind, I humbly present the crown jewel of Stark Industries freedom line. It's the first missile system to incorporate our proprietary repulsor technology."

["Awe, fancy."] Lily Da-Vinci whispered to her big sister, who nodded in silent agreement as they wondered if maybe this movie could give them idea's for future inventions. Mech Eli-Chan being the only one to overhear Lily Da-Vinci, internally shuttered as the thought of the sisters using any kind of advance modern tech in their inventions. But she kept her mouth shut and silently prayed for once; as the view of the scene changed back to Tony

"They say the best weapon is one you never have to fire. I respectfully disagree. I prefer the weapon you only have to fire once. That's how dad did it, that's how America does it... and it's worked out pretty well so far. Find an excuse to let one of these off the chain, and I personally guarantee you the bad guys won't even want to come out of their caves." Tony cheered, in a calm and loud tone before motioning to the missile rack to the military officials right. All of them looking to see what must have been Tony's weapon . That seconds later, viva remote targeting. Fired only one of missiles into the empty flat dirt land behind him, as the missile was show in the air breaking apart into dozens of smaller versions of the missile itself. Heading straight for the closest hill side near them at a safe distance "For your consideration, the Jericho."

With that, the girls watched as the missiles all hit the hill side. Exploding at once as Tony silently raised his arms up to the sides. Like a god in some ways, which irked Jeanne for just a moment. Before the explosion really went off, the sound from the explosion echoing as a shock wave quickly blew on, then past all of them. Tony and the group with him barley being pushed a bit from the force of this new devastating weapon alone. Which even blew off some of the hats the men wore and left a dust cloud behind as well.

Though a quick scene change, now showing a silver box being opened quickly. As an ice cold smoke cloud popped out of it. Before Tony took what was a filled glass of run from what was packed inside, along with other beers and even some wine glasses.

"We throw one of these in with every purchase of 500 million or more. To peace!" Tony said, as the military officials walked over to get some beverage. Tony walking away himself, as he checked his phone to see Obadiah making a call to him; Tony accepting the call seconds later

"Tony." Obadiah said as on Tony's phone screen he was shirtless and laying on his bed

"Obie, what are you doing up?" Tony asked as he kept walking to the Humvees just up ahead

"I couldn't sleep till I found out how it went. How did it go?" Obadiah answered, as he sounded like he'd been worrying a bit about this meeting

"Went great, looks like it's gonna be an early Christmas." Tony joked a bit, as he was now next to a very all too familiar Humvee

"Hey, way to go, my boy. I'll see you tomorrow, yeah?" Obadiah asked, though sounded happy to hear the weapons demo went along smoothly

"Why aren't you wearing those pajamas I got you?" Tony asked back out of the blue, mainly because he wanted the older man to get some rest

"Good night, Tony." Obadiah simply replied back, before ceasing the call. Tony making his way now into the Humvee, about to close the door before Rhodes now in the military uniform. Armor and all, came up to him

"Hey Tony!" Rhodes said, as the door to the Humvee was now closed

"I'm sorry, this is the fun-vee." Tony stated bluntly, hanging out from the open window "The hum-drum-vee is back there."

"Nice job." Rhode replied back, a bit peeved even if he knew Tony was just being a bit of a jerk to mess with him

"See you back at base." Tony responded back in a kinder tone, as he pulled himself back into the Humvee; three soldiers alongside him as well

Though as the scene changed for the girls. They saw a quick live re-cape of the start of the movie. From the ambush and such. Before changing to an operating room. Images here and there of said operation by one other man. Each new image distorted as it seemed some kind of operation was being performed on his still freshly mangled chest. Then it went black, before showing Tony in ragged clothing laying on a cot. With some kind of tubs stuck right up his nose.

Tony slowly waking up, confused at where he was at and upon feeling the tube in his nose. He pulled it out much to Tony's own discomfort doing so and the girls who all in silence we're grossed out by the sight, even Mecha Eli-Chan. Still Tony taking a moment to push through the sudden discomfort saw a cup of water. Trying to take it, he knocked it over since his body seemed fatigued.

Then as Tony turned a bit more to his left side, he noticed a man. Older than him with a bald head on the top and dark hair on the sides along with a beard. His browns eyes could be seen behind his glasses, his clothing though wore was a dark suit, with dark pants and dress shoes. He looked to be one of the locals maybe, since his skin tone was a bit more of a light tanned shade. Currently this man was shaving in front of a makeshift mirror. Tony wanting to get out, tried to see if he could move his hand any closer to the Table to find a weapon maybe. Only to be stopped as the view changed, showing Tony was somehow strapped to a wires and a car battery.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you." The man calmly said, most likely having already know Tony was awake, as Tony laid back down on his cot seeing his set up now. Grabbing the wires. He noticed they were connected to something under his shirt. Feeling his chest and a lump there, he ripped open his shirt to see a makeshift circular metal object in his chest

["Ehhh… more chest horror…. "] Da-Vinci stated, as she found even if this wasn't that much the same as her own…well fatal chest wound so long ago when it came to severity. It was still painful to look at, though to be honest any sort of chest injury now was painful for her to stomach

["It's okay big sister. Again it's okay."] Lily Da-Vinci kindly soothed, as she patted her big sisters shoulder. She did have the same memories yes, but oddly she didn't feel as uneasy with chest pain injuries like her older self. Maybe because it didn't happen to her body, but still she felt for her big sister

["Have to say, that's really icky looking…"] Lily Jeanne muttered as Jeanne Alter patted the top of her baby sisters head

["Eh, don't worry squirt. Here, I'll hold you close if that will make you feel any better ya little baby."] Jeanne Alter quipped sounding a bit annoyed. Pulling Lily Jeanne close to her right side, Lily Jeanne a bit surprised though smiled as she went with it. To be perfectly honest though… it was mainly because even if wasn't that bad. For some reason, the view of the metal chest piece in Tony's chest really…like REALLY grossed Jeanne Alter out [-"Gross, gross. SUPER GROSS!"-]

[-"SO CUTE!"-] Jeanne though, as she wished she could capture the cuteness in the form of her little and baby sister basically cuddling. Especially since Jeanne could tell her little sister Jeanne Alter wasn't annoyed actually, that she was just acting it right now and really did want to cuddle with their baby sister

["Just to say, if anyone ever gets a chest wounds such as Tony. Please see a doctor to take care of it."] Mecha Eli-Chan stated like a PSA

["Graw!"] Fran growled in agreement with Mecha Eli-Chan as the others just nodded in silent agreement before they kept on watching the scene

"What the hell did you do to me?" Tony accused, with a slight angered tone while he tried sitting back up on his cot; as he was not a fan of having metal shoved in his chest

"What I did. What I did is to save your life. I removed all the shrapnel I could, but there's a lot left, and it's headed into your atrial septum. Here, wanna see, I have a souvenir. " The man answered, calm the whole time as he moved up to Tony. Handing him a small glass jar with a few tiny pieces of metal in it "Take a look. I've seen many wounds like that in my village. We call them the walking dead, because in takes about a week for the balls to reach the vital organs."

"What is this?" Tony asked yet again, pointing at the device shoved in his chest and was basically his ball and chain thanks to the car battery it was attached to

["That's rather… harrowing."] Jeanne muttered to herself at least, as she really did find that harrowing at least in her opinion

"That is an electromagnet. Hooked up to a car battery and it's keeping the shrapnel from entering your heart." The man answered, as Tony shocked a bit at the news then looked seeing a few cameras above them in the cave. Which the man took notice of easily "That's right. Smile."

Though Tony felt even more uneasy now, he wondered how long he'd been out. Why he was even taken and well what was the man that was with him story. If the man saved him with this makeshift electromagnet, he must have been someone of renown.

"We met once, you know. At the technical conference in Bern." The man suddenly stated, though he already had a good idea on what Tony was going to say

"Don't remember." Tony simply answered

"No, you wouldn't." The man joked a bit, as he honestly never believed Tony would remember him. It had been a few years and the younger man didn't seem the type to remember names well "If I had been that drunk, I wouldn't have been able to stand, much less give a lecture on integrated circuits."

"Where are we?" Tony asked once again, as he really needed some answers as the even if he knew the situation he was in

No it was the fact it was real, that was finally starting to sink in and Tony was doing his best not to panic. The man would have answered him, but suddenly a bang could be hear. The view changing showing two large metal doors illuminated just a bit by a celling light, before switching back to Tony and his savior.

"Come on, stand up. Stand up. Do as I do." The man sternly stated, pulling a confused Tony up. Though seeing his confusion, the man did what he could to just get Tony to follow his lead "C'mon, put your hands up!"

Just then a group of men came in, three first, two one both sides with guns, with one large man holding a role of paper in his hand; in the middle looking like he wasn't in charge; but at least the second in command. Though Tony instantly recognized the guns that the two grunts held.

"Those are my guns. How did they get my guns?" Tony asked the man in a whisper, confused on how is weapons could get in the hands of these men

"Do you understand me, do as I do!" The man yelled back in a whisper, as the three men followed by a few more behind them stopped a few inches away from them

Then the second in command, smiled like they were old friends or at least a kind host to his guest. Speaking in a Arabic for a few seconds. Tony looked to the man with him, who already knew what he needed to do.

"He says, "Welcome Tony Stark, the most famous mass murderer in the history of America.". He is honored, he wants you to build a missile. The Jericho missile that you demonstrated." The man explained to Tony, as the second in command of their current captors handed the man the paper he had in his hands. The man taking it showing it Tony that it was an image of the Jericho missile "This one."

"I refuse." Tiny stated sternly, as the girls cringed a bit at the answer and the rather unhappy reaction of their captors as the man translated for Tony

Then the scene changed quickly, showing some more of the grunts in the base forcing Tony's head in a large bucket of water and holding him down. Tony struggling to get some air, before he would be pulled out, then again and again. As Tony's mind was starting to go haywire from the lack of barely any air from each dip.

["No, no leave Tony alone!"] Lily Jeanne yelled, as Jeanne at least covered her mouth

["Shh, I'm sure Tony will be fine Jenny. But please be more mindful of you voice volume."] Jeanne kindly, if not with some sternness explained to her baby sister even if it was rather obvious more of that was going to happen with most of the group

["Yes elder sister…"] Lily Jeanne replied back, pouting a bit for being scolded; but kept on watching the rather unsettling scene for her

"Tony!" A voice in Tony's mind yelled, as images went through his mind. In some ways his life flashing before his eyes. Then seconds later, a bag was forced over his head. Tony feeling himself being dragged all the way to the outside of the cave

Now the scene changed again, showing Tony outside. The man who'd saved him dragged out too. Then the second in command motioned one of his men to move the bag off of Tony's head. Seconds later as the bag was removed, the view changed showing Tony's sight was getting use to the light again. That and an encampment of other soldiers, crates and weapons all around. Moving down some more, Tony saw that they had many of his Stark Industries weapons piled up. A few more steps and the second in command stopped, the others following behind. Tony and the man with him stopping too if only to not be harmed if they did anymore. The second in command looking back at Tony sternly, saying a few more words in Arabic.

"He wants to know what you think." The man translated, as Tony gave the leader a slight glare

"I think he got a lot of my weapons." Tony answered in disgust of the size of Stark Industries weapons these men had then he'd initially believed. Then the second said yet again a few more words in Arabic, while giving of a more stern stance

"He says they have everything you need to build a Jericho missile. He wants you to make the list of materials." The man translated once more

By this point Tony already knew his answer, sure he may be not the most empathic of men. Cynical a lot and such, but he still had good morals despite it. Which he found for a moment ironic considering what life style he lived. Meanwhile the second in command said one more sentence in Arabic.

"He says for you to start working immediately, and when you're done, he will set you free." The man translated once more. The second in command holding his hand out, as Tony smiled taking the man's hand as both of the shook on it

"No, I won't." Tony said smiling a bit, as he was sticking with his standing even if it meant he… died

"No, he won't." The man translated once last time, as the second in command just smiled widely… one of anger

Seconds later the view changed for just a moment showing one man who looked like he was the actual leader of this group watching from afar in the camp itself. Before it switched showing Tony sitting back in the cave as the small lite fire place in it gave off the only natural light in there. Tony seeming out of it, as he just stared at the fire in silence.

"I'm sure they're looking for you, Stark. But they will never find you in these mountains. Look... What you just saw... that is your legacy, Stark. Your life's work in the hands of those murderers. Is that how you want to go out?" The man explained, as he hoped this would somehow, in some way inspire to get to forming some sort of escape plan with him "Is this the last act of defiance of the great Tony Star or are you going to do something about it?"

"Why should I do anything. They're gonna kill me, you..." Tony started to say, a bit angry until his mood lowered again at his situation "Either way, if they don't, I'll probably be dead in a week."

"Well then... this is a very important week for you, isn't it?" The man quipped, as the girls quiet the whole time watched the view change to Tony's face alone. The fire in the cave the only thing to illuminate his face, as he looked the same for a moment at least. Until Da-Vinci and Lily Da-vinci at least noticed his looked do a slight change, one that they'd had in their old life's many times

["Ah…I see."] Lily Da-Vinci said, as the others aside from Lily Jeanne who already had an idea; quickly looked at the little genius at what she quote on quote 'Saw'. Thankfully her big sister already knew how to counter act the questions, as neither wanted to spoil the surprise or the fact they figured out themselves why the movies was called 'Iron Man'

["Oh its nothing, she just remembered something I taught her is all. Honest."] Da-Vinci explained, as the others seemed to not buy it fully. But let it be, as they shrugged and watched the movie once again. Da-Vinci looking at her little sister who smirked as she gave the little her a wink, both giggling for a moment that they came to the same conclusion

[-"Yes it's seems two more have figured it out!"-] Lily Jeanne thought in joy, that she wasn't the only one who'd catch on to why the movie was called 'Iron Man' in the first place. Well now at least it was a bit more obvious, still she smiled as she watched on with the others

The scene meanwhile changed, showing some of the soldiers moving pieces of the missile inside, tools and other items as well. Then at a table where the man stood, with a much more lively and serious Tony Stark.

"If this is gonna be my workstation, I want it well lit, I want all of these tools. Welding gear, I don't care if it's acetylene or propane." Tony explained to the second in command, as the man translated for him the whole time "I need a soldering station, I need helmets, I need goggles, I would like a smelting cup. I need two sets of precision tools."

Then another quick scene change, showing the man watching Tony, carefully unscrew what held the outer coat and the insides of the Stark Industries brand missile together.

"How many languages do you speak?" Tony asked, as he could feel the screw come out of place and thankfully it was the last one too

"A lot. But apparently not enough for this place. They speak Arabic, Urdu, Dari, Pashto, Mongolian, Farsi, Russian." The man explained, while Tony took a moment before he got a hold and pulled out the inner workings of the missile itself

"Who are these people?" Tony asked once more, as he placed the core of the missile on the table, looking over to the man for a moment

"They are your loyal customers, sir. They call themselves The Ten Rings." The man explained as Tony really didn't like that idea

Though a quick change of the scene once more, showed a camera on the upper part of the cave itself. Then a view change that showed the Ten Rings second in command and some Ten Rings soldiers watching the two through the cameras. Before the girls once more saw Tony and the man yet again being the focus. Tony sitting at the table working on something with another of the missile. The man sitting on a seat next to him.

"You know, we might be more productive if you include me in the planning process?" The man remarked, as it was true. That and he was rather confused on what Tony as planning

But Tony didn't answer, instead he took a few more moments to tinker with whatever else he needed from the new missile. Before sitting back up, and slamming his first two times against the tip of this missile. The top coming off as Tony pulled out another inner components from the new missile. A change of scenery a moment later, and the girls saw Tony working on this new component under a lamplight. The man standing near his workstation.

"Okay. We don't need this." Tony said, as seconds later he grabbed the large missile component and threw it behind him, the doctor and the girls in turn a bit confused on why. Only to see Tony with a pair of tweezers in his right hand pick up something

"What is that?" The man asked, as he and the girls saw it was a small strip of grey… well it looked kind of like a paper thin piece of grey metal

"That's palladium, 0.15 grams. We need at least 1.6, so why don't you go break down the other eleven." Tony explained, though the man still a bit confused. Complied as he started to do just that, but once more the view did a quick change showing the Ten rings were watching the two the whole time still

"What are they doing?" One of the Ten ring soldiers playing cards with another asked

"Working." The Ten ring solider watching the two men answered his comrade, as to be honest that's what it looked like

Then the scene changed once more, showing Tony working intensely on the first part of his project. Making a bowl, which he used clay and then a mold it. The it showed the man using a pair of tongs holding a steel cup, cooking what must have been the palladium melted. Than moving cup over to the work table where Tony stood to his left.

"Careful. Careful, we only get one shot at this." Tony explained, nervous at the possible small slip up ruining the plan and any chance to escape

"Relax, I've steady hands." The man mused, as he poured the melted palladium into the hardened clay delicately "Why do you think you're still alive, huh?"

The girls all in silent agreement didn't know whether to laugh for a moment at what was a small little joke possibly, or just be glad Tony had been left in such good hands. Either way, the girls knew Tony had gotten lucky with the man he was stuck with.

"What do I call you?" Tony asked as he'd moved closer to the man left, keeping an intense watch on the remainder of the palladium being poured into the bowl

"My name is Yinsen." The now named Yinsen answered, as he finally finished pouring all the melted pallium

"Yinsen... nice to meet you." Tony kindly replied back, as he felted he'd made another friend now. He had to admit, that felt… nice

"Nice to meet you too." Yinsen replied back kindly himself

Then the scene changed showing Tony sitting back down at the work bench, while Yinsen stood beside him on his left. Tony lifting up a metal thin circle with a pair of tweezers. As he placed it into a circular container. Then the scene faded for a moment, before showing Tony now working on adding strips of copper wiring around the circular object. Taking his time to make sure every part was crafted with the best of care. Another quick fade and the girls watching, saw the object that Tony had been working on. Was a now glowing object, that illuminated his face a bit. Tony looking down on it in silent pride, as Yinsen coming from his left took a gander at it too."

"That doesn't look like a Jericho missile." Yinsen quipped

"That's because it is a miniaturized arc reactor." Tony explained as he and Yinsen just stared at the mini arc reactor "We got a big one powering my factory at home. It should keep the shrapnel out of my heart."

"But what could it generate?" Yinsen asked, as he was curious on the power of something so… small

"If my math is right, and it always is, three gigajoules per second." Tony explained, as most of the girls aside from Mech Eli-Chan who nodded in silent awe at that and the Da-Vinci sisters thanks to some of the new era info they HAD to learn from the staff to work Chaldea in the first place. Knew exactly what he meant and how much of an incredible feat of theoretical power that was

"That could run your heart for the 50 lifetimes." Yinsen answered, as the Jeanne sisters and Fran were glad that it was explain for their more… less than acute minds when it came to science

"Yeah or something big for 15 minutes." Tony remarked, smirking as his plan was coming alone quiet well. The scene doing a quick change, showing Tony and Yinsen under a bright celling light.

Tony placing down a pile large sheet of paper on the table before them, as the girls became even more curious on what this was now. But again Lily Jeanne and the Da-Vinci sisters were in silent glee at their guesses being a high possibility.

"This is our ticket outta here." Tony explained, as the view switched showing Yinsen looking at the papers seeing Tony had drawn on them all

"What is it?" Yinsen asked as he couldn't tell what any of these were

"Flatten them out and look." Tony simply answered, as Yinsen did so before, placing them together as they formed the image of a suit "Oh wow… impressive."

The scene switched yet again, showing on the outside it was night. Then to the security room as one of the cameras were showing Tony laying down while Yinsen was standing over him doing something as his body covered Tony's upper torse aside from his right shoulder. Then Yinsen moved back to give Tony room. As the man got back up, the shadow of his body blocking the lights in the cave. As now from the camera's view and the girls watching. They could see the arc reactor inside the center of Tony's chest. The camera watched Tony and Yinsen a bit more. Before the view switched. Showing now a wooden game board and a pair of dice being thrown in it.

"Good. Good roll. Good roll." Yinsen exclaimed with a somewhat more upbeat tone the his usual one. The view panning up to their faces, as Yinsen took the dice

"You still didn't tell me where you're from." Tony recounted, as it would be nice to make some more small talk than just playing a board game in silence

"I'm from a small town called Gulmira. It's actually a nice place." Yinsen answered, just like that and seemed happier with the small talk too then the silence

"You got a family?" Tony asked, since it seemed Yinsen was in the mood to talk

"Yes. And I will see them when I leave here." Yinsen answered, before looking at Tony directly "And you, Stark?"

"Nothing. No…" Tony answered, averting his gaze a moment later at the rather… uneasy question of his

"So you're a man who has everything... and nothing." Yinsen quipped, though Tony could feel a hint of…pity in his tone for him. He didn't know what made him feel more uncomfortable, the question itself or Yinsen's pity for him

Just then the scene changed, showing the second in command walking to the cave's entrance with a few armed guards. Giving them a hand motion to follow his lead as he stopped at the door, pulling open the small eye slit that was installed in it. Seeing that the two were seemingly working on the missile. Seeing as they were doing what he thought they were supposed to be, he closed the eye slit and made his way off with the guards following behind him.

With that the scene changed yet again, showing pieces of the suit already made. Small pieces being the bracers, the engine for it and the chest plate. Before showing Tony in welding equipment working on something else, while Yinsen was fixing another part for the suit. The girls as they watched, were growing ever more curious. Especially the Da-Vinci sisters and Mech Eli-Chan even if she didn't show it.

But sadly this also caught the attention of the Ten ring soldiers watching them from the security room. The leader of the Ten rings, watching alongside others and his second in command this time. Then the scene switched yet again, showing the men of the Ten Rings at the caves entrance. Looking through the eye slit, before yelling something and opened it. Tony and Yinsen standing up quickly and putting their arms behind their heads as the men of the Ten rings came in. The leader coming in behind semi-last as his men stood aside for him. The leader walking to the front, as he eyed Tony and Yinsen while stopping a few inches away from the two.

"Relax." The leader simply mused, taking a look at Tony mainly. Seconds later as the leader walked up a bit closer to Tony. Opening his shirt in the chest area to see the arc reactor, then walked over to the table. Looking a bit at what Tony had be working on, which were the schematic to the suit. Keeping his eyes on the schematics a bit more, he cleared his throat to address his captives "The bow and arrow once was the pinnacle of weapons technology. It allowed the great Genghis Khan to rule from the Pacific to the Ukraine. An empire twice the size of Alexander the Great. And four times the size of the Roman empire. But today, whoever holds the latest Stark weapons, rules these lands. And soon...it will be my turn. Why did you fail me?"

"We're working on it. Diligently." Yinsen answered, a bit nervous but answered none the less as the leader looked at him now

"I spared your life. Is this how you repay me?" The leader asked sternly, walking over to Yinsen

"It's very complex. He's trying hard." Yinsen answered, as the leader glared at him for a for a few moments

"On his knees." The leader ordered, as two of the Ten Ring soldiers grabbed Yinsen arms forcing the man to his knees. Tony forced to stand by and do nothing, while the leader had moved over to the forge in the cave. Then began doing… something "You think I'm an fool, I'll get the truth."

"We're both working." Yinsen answered yet again, getting a bit more nervous now; before to his shock and the girls worry. Especially the Lily's, the saw the leader with a pair of tongs in his hands which held a medium sized ball of extremely hot iron

"Open your mouth." The leader demanded

["Eh… I don't think I can watch…"] Lily Jeanne stated, nuzzling against Jeanne Alters right side this time, as Jeanne was too nervous herself watching the scene go. The others feeling the same to. Though Mecha Eli-Chan, was more on wondering if Yinsen would survive this or not… most likely not

"What does he want?" Tony quickly asked, as he was trying to do whatever he could to help Yinsen out of this situation

"You think I'm a fool…" The leader repeated as he walked over to Yinsen, forcing his head against an anvil. The leader moving the extremely hot ball of iron closer and closer to Yinsen's mouth "What is going on… tell me the truth."

"He's building your Jericho." Yinsen answered, a bit more defiance in his tone than before

"What do you want, a delivery date?" Tony asked the leader this time, as he moved a bit closer to the man. Only for the rest of the guards there to quickly aim their guns at him. Causing Tony to stop as the leader looked at him. Tony clearing his throat seconds later "I need him… he's a good assistant."

"You have till tomorrow... to assemble my missile." The leader stated sternly, dropping the burning iron ball a few inches away from Yinsen's face. Then he and his men left, leaving Tony alone as he knew what he needed to do

The scene changed. Showing Tony hard at work, slamming a hammer against a piece of metal on an anvil. Then after he was done, he placed the newly shaped piece of metal into a barrel of water for it to cool off. Before the view switched showing Yinsen working on something else at the table. Only for him to stop when Tony placed with a pair of tongs what he'd made onto the table. Showing that it was mask with small mouth slits and narrow eye holes, while fresh steam evaporated off it.

The scene the changed yet again, showing Tony wrapping some bandages around his hand, while Yinsen was getting the armor hooked up to be placed on a rack for Tony to get into it easier. Then showed Yinsen placing a heavy jacket over Tony, before slipping on thick gloves over his hands. Followed by a heavy vest placed over his chest. Another switch of view, showed the armors chest piece being placed over Tony as the other pieces of the suit were on Tony loosely. Once on Yinsen began to tighten everything around the armor.

"Okay, can you move?" Yinsen asked tighten one of the bolts on the left arm piece

"Yes." Tony answered, looking over the armor to see if he could spot anything himself that could cause issues

"Say it again." Yinsen quickly asked once more

"41 steps straight ahead. Then 16 steps, left from the door dork right, 33 steps, turn right." Tony repeated, which were the directions to make the way out of the cave system

But the view changed to the Ten rings leader, walking into the security room before he saw well not Tony at least; though Yinsen barley on the camera's feed.

"Where is Stark?" The leader asked, moving closer to the camera feed and making sure that his eyes were just playing tricks on him

"He was here a moment ago." The Ten rings solider that was in charge of watching the camera feed answered, as he had no idea either where Tony was

"Go look for him." The leader ordered to a few of his men inside the room to, who quickly made their out. The leader taking one more look seeing Yinsen working still, which only got the man more suspicious

Then the scene changed showing the same Ten rings soldiers running up to the door, before one of them open the eye slit seeing at least Yinsen. Who was still worked on whatever he was in the soldiers eyes.

"Jinszen, Jinszen, Erős! (Yinsen, Yinsen, Stark!)" The Ten ring solider yelled in Hungarian

"Say something. Say something back to him." Tony suggested quickly, as he was getting worried they'd break in sooner than later if this kept up

"He is speaking Hungarian, I don't..." Yinsen began to argue, but stopped as he knew he had to keep focus right now. They were so close, so very close

"Then speak Hungarian." Tony replied back, hoping the man knew how to speak Hungarian and that the just forgot for a moment thanks to the stress of the situation

"Okay... I know" Yinsen suddenly said out of the blue

"What do you know?" Tony asked, as Yinsen began to speak a little Hungarian back

Meanwhile the view switched as it panned down at the door from inside the cave. A small bomb placed so if anyone came in then 'BOOM'. The solider yelling at the two, finally losing his patients told the one of the other soldiers to open the door. So he did, but seconds later and so went off an explosion. Killing the small group of soldiers from the sheer force of the explosion alone. But the scene switched quickly showing the leader seeing this and the camera watching from the outside going offline. He yelled to some more of the soldiers with him, as they began to yell at the others outside to rally up. Before once more the focus of the scene was changed back to Tony and Yinsen.

"How did that work?" Tony asked, as he had no idea how that ATCUALLY worked considering their run of bad luck so far these past few days. That and it was his idea for the bomb, so also a good choice on his part

"Oh my goodness…" Yinsen stated at the sight of their plan actually working so far, as now they were free to get out of their prison. Quickly he began to finish what he needed to one Tony's amor "It worked all right."

"That's what I do?" Tony commented a bit, mainly to just ease the stress even a bit right now for himself and Yinsen

"Let me finish this.' Yinsen said, as he was just doing a few quick last minuet tightening on the pieces of Tony's armor

"Initialize the powering sequence." Tony exclaimed, as Yinsen realized that yeah maybe he should get to doing that

"Okay." Yinsen answered, turning around to an old computer that was being used to boot up the armor

"Now!" Tony yelled, his panic starting to show a bit as he knew more Ten ring soldiers would be coming any seconds now

"Tell me, tell me!" Yinsen quickly asked

"F 11. Tell me when you see a progress bar." Tony began to explain, as calmly as he could as Yinsen did so. The view changing to show the old computer with a progress bar booting up "It should be up right now. Talk to me, tell me when you see it."

"I have it." Yinsen answered back, as he could see the progress bar right when Tony was explaining it

"Press Ctrl + I." Tony just kept on explaining as Yinsen followed his instructions

"I… got it!" Yinsen replied back

"'Enter'. I, 'Enter'." Tony explained once again, as Yinsen did that before Tony knew he needed a few more adjustments to the buttons being used with his get up "Come over here and button me up."

Then the scene change yet again, showing a good number of Ten Ring soldiers running down the tunnel way which lead to Tony and Yinsen's location. Their yelling able to be heard, as a view change back showed Tony waiting for Yinsen to be done.

"Every other hex bolt." Tony calmly as he could said, but to keep Yinsen focused also

"They are coming!" Yinsen expressed, as he was starting to panic a little himself now

"Doesn't need to look pretty, just get it done." Tony stated, doing what he could. But Yinsen's focus seemed to be wavering ever so more each second

"They are coming." Yinsen exclaimed once more, as he was more worried now that they'd be shot down before anything else could be done as the shouting was getting louder and louder

"Make sure that checkpoints are clear before you follow me out, OK?" Tony stated, making one last attempt to keep Yinsen focus on him and the suit. Though Yinsen taking a look at the computer could see it was only half way, which in other case wouldn't be bad; but right now it wasn't good at all

"We need more time… hey I'm gonna go buy you some time." Yinsen stated, looking back at Tony with a small smile

"Stick to the plan, stick to the plan!" Tony screamed, as Yinsen picked up a rifle from one of the dead soldiers. Before running off into the tunnels firing a few rounds as they echoed. Then dashing away from sight "Yinsen. Yinsen!"

As the scene changed, it showed the few of the soldiers making their way to the cave where Tony and Yinsen were as they vanished behind one of the walls in the cave. Only for the soldiers to run back the way they came screaming, as Yinsen chased behind them. Firing off rounds while letting out a war cry. The girls chuckled just for a moment at the scene. Only to cease the chuckling when they saw Yinsen run a bit more, all the way until he stopped. Before the view panned over to show the Ten rings leader and many more of his grunts aiming their guns at him. Right at the entrance too. Before the girls could see what happened though. The scene switched.

Now the girls saw the computer that was used to power Tony's suit again. The progress bar just finishing as the power in the cave slowly dimmed, before shutting off. Leaving the cave in darkness and right when the some more Ten ring soldiers arrived. Though stopped seeing the now darkened cave. The small group of them walking in as one took the lead, looking around for Tony.

A quick view change showed Tony is his armored suit. Clenching his fists a bit as he saw one of the solider come ever so closer to where he was. But keeping still waiting for his chance to strike. Meanwhile the soldier that decided to take the lead, while the other two waited behind, looked a bit more for Tony. Only to not find him as he looked back, one of the other soldiers shinning a light on his face. Then seconds later the sounds of machinery echoed as the soldier nearest Tony's suit was punched right into the wall hard. While the other two began firing away. Before stopping seeing they hadn't hit anything. Then silence followed…utter silence.

That was until the remaining soldiers had a light shine down on them, before another one of them was punched away and the last right in the face. All out cold. Before the view panned around Tony's suit. Showing off the now fully functional armor.

["COOL!"] Lily Da-Vinci and Lily Jeanne yelled out at the sight

["Yes it is indeed 'Cool'. I wonder how the French-English war would have gone if we had armor like that."] Jeanne quipped, giggling a bit at the amusing thought

["Probably not being burnt at the steak for one…"] Jeanne Alter muttered

["Graw, graw, graw, umff!"] Fran added in, as Da Vinci nodding in agreement

["True. If our little master had armor like that. Maybe things would have gone easier for them. But maybe in the future hehe."] Da Vinci quipped smirking a bit, as even more ideas were coming to her mind quicker now

["Lord… seriously have mercy on those against us, if Da Vinci ever makes armor like Tony's."] Mecha Eli-Chan muttered, as she and the other watched on

Meanwhile, the scene showed Tony walking towards a group more soldiers firing at him. Though none of the bullets did anything as they just bounced off him. One of the soldiers still firing charged at Tony, only for Tony to smack him into the wall with his left arm. Then punched another back, then knocking out the last one. Though more grunts seeing this ran away down the tunnel. Tony in pursuit as most of the Ten ring soldiers made it. But the last one was lock out as the others closed two solid metal doors behind him. The now lone soldier screaming for a few more moments. Only for the screaming to stop with a loud thud against the metal doors, then another and another as the other soldiers back away slowly with their guns at the ready. Along with being scared out of their wits.

Then the soldiers ran from their increasing fear, only for Tony to kick open the door. One of the metal doors flying off its hinges and crushing two of the flee men. More soldiers in the other tunnels began to run away in fear too. One unlucky of the bunch, being closed lined by Tony. Who got his arm stuck in the rock. This gave one of the more braver soldiers enough time to come up with a pistol and fire at Tony's helmet. Only for the bullet to bounce off and kill him. Jeanne Alter, Da Vinci and even Jeanne of all people were the only ones to chuckle a bit at that. Though Tony during that, looked at the man, surprised that just happened. But with one more hard tug, he freed his arm from the rock and proceeded on his way to the exit.

Meanwhile a new scene quickly changed to the Ten rings leader, loading up a grenade launcher and walking in a corner. Before switching to a now wounded Yinsen who laid against some sandbags. Tony coming in seconds later seeing this.

"YINSEN!" Tony yelled in horror at what he saw of the man who saved him

"Watch out… Stark…" Yinsen warned, as Tony turned around seeing the Ten rings leader. Who fired the grenade, but missed, as Tony fired back a mini-missile that hit a few barrels full of fuel. Which exploded and hit the leader back into a wall. Knocking him out cold and most likely scarring the man as well if he survived. Tony quickly looked back to Yinsen and knelt down to the man, lifting his face mask up

"Come on. We gotta go." Tony said, as yelling outside could be heard. Like the remainder of the Ten rings all were getting ready for him "Move with me. C'mon, we got a plan. We need to stick to it!"

"T-This… was always the plan, Stark." Yinsen explained, though Tony only chalked it up to Yinsen's loss of blood

"Come on, you're going to go see your family again." Tony stated, as he hopped this would snap Yinsen back to normal for a bit at least causing him to say such odd things

"My family is dead… I'm going to see them now, Stark." Yinsen answered as Tony gave him an shock looked, but all Yinsen could do was smile a bit back at the younger man "It's okay… It's okay. I want this. I want this…"

"Thank you for saving me." Tony thanked simply, as that's all he knew he could do. But to be honest, even if he hadn't know this man for long… he couldn't never and would never be able to show Yinsen how grateful he was to him in only a few words

"D-Don't waste it… Don't waste your life." Yinsen said with the last of his breath, before his eyes closed and his breathing cease

Tony took a moment to reflect on what had just happened, seeing death like this in a non-warzone type of ordeal. It was… to be honest he couldn't say really. It was…something, something off putting. Especially with how this good man before him died. If anything Yinsen deserved to pass on as an old man. Not to have been gunned downed like a rabid dog. But Tony knew he couldn't stay to grieve or take the man's body. So he gave his now dead friend one last silent look of thank you. Before he knew what he had to finish.

As the seven servants stayed silent, Lily Jeanne and even Lily Da-Vinci sniffled a bit from Yinsen's death. Before scene quickly changed showing the remainder of the Ten rings waiting outside the cave's entrance. Aiming their guns, while lite thumps could be heard from within the cave. Then just like that the sight of Tony in his armor appeared. Making the Ten rings members flinch back a little in fear. Jeanne Alter and Da-Vinci were the only two who chuckled at the sight of that.

["Come on Tony you can do it."] Lily Jeanne muttered as she was nervous and yet excited to see what was going to happen next, didn't take too long though as the terrorists began to fire off round after round. All the bullets flying off Tony's armor with little damage to him

["Hm, I must say. I wonder what kind of metal that tin junk suit is made from to withstand so much fire power. I don't believe normal metal like iron could hold up so much."] Mecha Eli-chan mused as she herself was even starting to come up with ideas for armor, especially for Fran to be the first test subject of her idea's

["Graw…."] Fran lowly growled as she was having a bit of a bad feeling Mecha Eli-chan, was starting to have ideas for just like the Da-Vinci sisters. She didn't know either to feel happy, scared or maybe a bit of both to be perfectly honest

Still as the scene played on for a few more moments, finally Tony's attackers ceased their assault on him. A much stronger pang of fear overtook them as they back up a bit. Only for the view to yet again switch to a close up shot of Tony's helmet. His dark brown eyes and the skin around it barley showing from the shadow that the mask made.

It was tense for a few more seconds, as the girls wondered what was going to happen now. Sure Tony had an awesome suit, but it was him against a good two dozen or so trained soldiers. That was until Tony gave them their answer, in the form of two simple little words…

"My turn." Tony simply stated, a slight sternness and eagerness in his voice. Before he lifted up both of his arms. Then showing his captors and the girls watching, why you should never mess with Tony Stark

A moment later a stream of red hot fire shot out from his arms. The Ten ring soldiers backing away quickly and as fast as possible to avoid being burnt by the hell fire from the man of metal. Their screams of terror quickly filling up the hot day sky as the view switch showing a few of the soldiers on fire already. One even tripping over a Stark branded crate that was stockpiled with a few more of the Stark brand weaponry that were starting to catch on fire as well. For Jeanne, Fran, Da-Vinci, Lily Da-Vinci and even Mecha Eli-Chan. They were quiet shocked to see such a brutal tactic used, even against one's own captors. The other two of the group, seemed to have quite the opposite reaction to this display of warfare.

["HAHA, Yes…YES BURN YOUR ENEMIES ALIVE. LET THEIR FLESH BECOME CRISP FOR THE VULTURES HAHA!"] Jeanne Alter unsurprisingly cheered, as she smiled in sadistic glee at the site of fire and the sounds of the Ten ring soldiers either running away in fear, burning alive or even a bit of both

["Yeah, burn the bad men Tony. BURN THEM ALL!"] Lily Jeanne very surprisingly cheered too, with a slightly less sadistic glee in her tone despite the small smile she had watching Tony burn all the bad men alive

The others in the room quietly looked over to Jeanne, who sheepishly smiled and shrugged having no idea what that was about. Though she had a feeling that Jeanne Alter, her younger sister and Lily Jeanne her baby sister were having a much more productive time when it was just them hanging out. Primarily Lily Jeanne seeming to pick up on her middle sisters more… fire loving side of things already. Not that she was had that type of liking when it came to fire… at times… maybe… don't judge her. You ain't the police of her small guilty likings.

Still their focus turned back to the small scale battle at hand. Watching Tony burn up some more of his captors as they ran around in pain or again just plain fear. Only for the view to cut to one of the soldiers moving into a MG nest with a 50 cal. Machine Gun placement on a higher hillside. Firing it at Tony without hesitation. Tony quickly doing his best to block the bullets with his arms so his eyes wouldn't be hit possibly from a luck shot. Unfortunately for Tony, this gave the other soldiers a moment to get set up and attack. One of them hiding behind a few crates as he aimed his gun, then fired a few rounds into the servo joint that help hold up Tony's right leg. Tony quickly falling to the ground while doing his best to now to deflect being shot from his front and right with his arms.

["NO/ UMFF!"] Lily Jeanne, Lily Da-Vinci and Fran screamed out in sudden horror at Tony's misfortune. Mecha Eli-chan just stayed quiet, while Jeanne was watching intensely and Jeanne Alter was doing the same as her older sister

Meanwhile back in the scene, Tony was being shot up pretty well. But thankfully his armor was holding up enough. Though he knew it wouldn't last long. So he tried doing his best thinking of a way to get some of the added in heat off him. Seconds later after he fell to his knees. Tony quickly shot up a bit, aiming his left flamethrower at a few missiles near him. Which exploded pushing back some of his attackers in a blaze of fire, while others ran away from the explosion and increasing flames.

But this also gave Tony some cover as the sudden intense heat even made the MG nest gunner stop for a moment, before firing again blindly into the fire itself. Tony seeing this as a proper time to make his getaway, knew what he had to do. The view switching over for a moment to show a small red switch under his left arm. Flipping it before he began to suddenly launch into the sky. Just in time too, as his little stunt moments ago had caused a chain reaction. As now all the armaments began to go off in an explosion of glory, before the view yet again switched showing Tony high in the sky.

["Yes fly Tony, fly to safety like a bird free from its cage!"] Jeanne screamed as she jumped up from her the couch, the others giving her quite a look of shock, amusement and confusion. Noticing this seconds later, Jeanne blushed a bit as she sat back down ["Ahem… sorry."]

["You've been hanging out with Shakespeare too much lately."] Lily Da-Vinci quipped as some of the others nodded in agreement at that

["Gao, umf."] Fran simply stated in agreement as Jeanne blushed a bit more from the teasing

["Anyways back to the scene, enough with the Jeanne teasing."] Jeanne Alter stated calmly, as she was really getting more interesting in this movie by the second

So once more the girls watched the scene still play off, seeing Tony was in the clear or so it seemed. As suddenly to Tony's horror. His suit's thruster shorted out. Tony quickly falling to the sand below as he screamed, while the seven heroic spirits watched cringing a bit at how painful this was going to be. Well aside from Mecha Eli-chan who was calculating the possibility of survival from a fall at that height. Armor or not, as it seemed slim if anything.

But as the seven watched him fall and fall, before slamming into the ground as sand blew up into the air. The scene changed, showing Tony's body buried a bit in the sand itself, while his suit was in ruins for the most part. The only semi full pieces were his helmet, his semi- ruined arms and his upper bit of his chest piece.

["Man, that sucks. That was one awesome suit too. Such a shame."] Da-vinci quipped as her little sister and Mecha Eli-chan both nodded in agreement

["Thankfully he crashed within a desert. It will be near impossible to find the remains of his now destroyed suit. "] Mecha Eli-Chan remarked as she really couldn't fathom who'd be able to find the remains of Tony's suit in the middle of the desert. Movie or not, it just didn't seem plausible or worth it to her

["Seriously, imagine someone finding that suit. Would be bad news."] Jeanne exclaimed as she did wonder again what a suit like that in real life would be like, that and the trouble it could cause. Though she giggled a little wondering if their two little masters and all the servants had suits like that. The others seemed to agree too, before all of them turned their attention back to Tony who by this point had thrown off the helmet and the more busted right arm on his suit, before resting his head on the sand a little from the rather heart racing experience

"Not bad." Tony simply muttered, relived beyond any words that he had made it out alive. Alive and relatively unharmed from the sheer madness of what had happened ; the girls chuckled some from that random moment

Though like before the scene changed yet again. Tony now being show walking down a sandy hill in the hot desert. Only wearing his under shirt and the jacket he used for the heavy layer of his inner suit over his head to keep the heat off his face at least. Then a close up shot showed his face covered in dirty, sweat and dry blood. The girls just watched in silence though wondering how Tony would get out of this one. But the scene switched, showing the sky was a bit more dimmer as the day must have been going by. But the girls saw that Tony was not giving up as he just kept on walking. Then suddenly a helicopter flew over Tony's head, then two more. The girls silently cheering that Tony was saved, even Jeanne Alter mainly since she wanted to see what other kick ass suits he'd make. Not that she was starting to like his character not at all…nope. Still Tony himself couldn't help but feel like maybe god was looking after him this time.

"Hey, HEY!" Tony screamed in joy as he ran a bit towards the direction of the helicopters, waving his hand's widely while falling to his knees. All the while the three helicopters landed, only one solider along with two others came up to the man. The one who was up to Tony first though was none other than his best friend Rowdy

"How was the fun-vee?" Rowdy asked smirking, before he patted Tony's shoulder and knelt down then gave him a quick one armed hug. Tony himself relived beyond belief. While the girls smiled a bit at the reunion "Next time you ride with me, okay?"

Tony just chuckled a bit back, before the scene quickly changed. Showing a large grey military cargo plan landing on a runway. The view doing a switch, showing Tony's secretary Pepper Pots and his driver from before waiting for Tony next to a large black fancy car. Probably to take Tony away in. The girls watched on as they saw the back ramp go down revealing Tony in a wheel chair and Rhode next to him. Tony getting up seconds later as Rhode helped keep him stable just in case. Then they began making their way down, before Tony noticed a stretcher being moved towards him.

"Are you kidding me with this. Get rid of them." Tony quipped as he wasn't really set on being ushered by a stretcher after the past few day's he'd been held captive. Rhode getting the hint just silently motioned them that it wasn't needed. Then the view switched yet again to Pepper now, her eyes a little red as she smiled just a bit while Tony stopped in front of her "Your eyes are red. Few tears for your long lost boss?"

"Tears of joy. I hate job hunting." Pepper joked, tearing up just a little more but keeping her calm demeanor

["Totally shipping it."] Lily Jeanne quipped smirking as she looked to Lily Da-Vinci who smirked back ["Ship it, ship it!"]

["Hey, what are you saying now squirt?"] Jeanne Alter asked curiously, though sporting her trade mark scowl like usual

["Yes what is this shipping you speak of Lily?"] Jeanne asked next as she was curious as well, Lily Jeanne looking back at Lily Da-Vinci who got the hint and cleared her throat

["It's when you see two people with possible romantic possibility to develop into a long loving relationship. That is shipping dear Jeanne's."] Lily Da-Vinci proudly stated as Lily Jeanne nodded in utter agreement

["Graw, umf, grah?"] Fran asked or well growled, in slight surprise that the two little girls knew something like this

["Seriously, who taught you two this?"] Da-Vinci asked her little sister, as her big sister instinct were screaming to attack whoever taught her baby sister something like that. She need to keep her Lily self fully PURE… well as pure as she could be since technically they did share the same memories and you know what. It was the thought that counted alright, no need to question it

["Big sister Osakabehime when us and the girls hang out with her in her room."] Lily Jeanne and Lily Da-Vinci both answered like it was nothing, which made WAY too much sense to the adults in the room

Then again when it came to the more…ahem, introvert servant. The seven did wonder why she'd been so excited for the Laptops and such the master had awarded them. Since the girl seem to have been already well acquainted with internet. Oh well, questions for later. Still none of the adults could say much, as they and the two younger girls looked back to watch the scene at hand. Well maybe Mecha Eli-Chan at least.

["Huh…I ship it."] Mecha Eli-Chan simply muttered, as everyone else just let it be paying attention back to the movie before them

"Yeah, vacation's over." Tony joked a bit, as he and Pepper got into the car quickly; the driver already inside

"Where to, sir?" Tony's driver asked, as Tony was about to answer. Only for Pepper to quickly answer for the man

"Take us to the hospital, please." Pepper interjected as all that matter now was to take her boss to the hospital. Better to get a second opinion on his psychical health for the time, then maybe set up a possible therapy session for the man; lord knows he'll probably need it after what he'd been through

"No." Tony simply replied, stern and stubbornness in his tone as Pepper gave him a quick look of surprise

"No. Tony... you have to go to the hospital. The doctor has to look at you." Pepper began to explain sternly herself, before she and Tony began to argue a little

"I don't have to do anything. I was in captivity for three months. There are two things I want to do. I want an American cheeseburger." Tony began to argue, not backing down from this as he really DID want an American Cheeseburger. Preferably McDonalds, BUT Burger King was acceptable too by this point. Though he had more pressing manners to address "And the other-"

"That's enough of that." Pepper replied, cutting of Tony as she had a feeling what he was asking for and right now that was not a options of doing so. Mainly because she was worried more on his health, than his pleasure

["Um?"] Jeanne Lily muttered confused a bit, only to notice her elder sister Jeanne smile at her sweetly

["When you're a bit more older kay sweetie?"] Jeanne whispered as she wasn't quite ready to talk with Jeanne Lily about THAT yet, she wanted to wait until her little sister mentally matured a bit more

["Yes big sister."] Jeanne Lily replied kindly back, as she and Jeanne turned their attention back to the movie once more

"It's not what you think. I want you to call for a press conference now." Tony quickly rebutted, not that he blamed Peppers assumption

"Call for a press conference?!" Pepper asked, surprised and more confused than anything on the sudden request "What on earth for?"

"Yeah, Hogan, drive. Cheeseburger first." Tony simply ordered as his driving just went with it, concerned but went with it as he started up the car and was off

The scene like before changed seconds later, showing the sight of a scaled down statue of a YF-22. Behind it a large tanned colored building and a line of American flags. But what the girls noticed was the large crowd waiting for Tony and up in front of the crowd. Who all clapped as Tony's car pulled up, was Obadiah wearing a snazzy grey suit, black dress shoes and glasses now.

"Look at this!" Obadiah happily cheered as he stopped near the parked car, opening the door for Tony who quickly came out. Before Obadiah gave him a big hug, Tony returning the gesture with his own one arm hug thanks to his right arm still being a sling to heal "We were going to meet at the hospital."

"No I'm fine." Tony quickly replied, as he was not one for hospitals and also he needed to get this press conference started as soon as he could. But not before he noticed his driving coming up to him with a bag labeled 'Burger King'. Taking his good hand, he grabbed his burger before making his way passed Obadiah

"Oh, burger, you had to have a burger. You get me one of those?" Obadiah asked amusingly

"There's only one left, I need it." Tony simply replied back as Obadiah chuckled a little from his answer. While he, Obadiah, followed by Pepper made their way down into the building before them; while the crowd still clapped for Tony

["Hm…"] Jeanne Alter muttered as she crossed her arms, mainly because of the interaction between Obadiah and Tony which only one Da-Vinci took notice of

["You okay?"] Da-Vinci asked curiously in a whisper

["Yeah. Just get a weird off feeling with baldie in the movie is all. Seems nice but off ya know?"] Jeanne Alter whispered back, as Da-Vinci just nodded back in silence at the explanation

["Yeah… can't blame ya for that one."] Da-Vinci simply muttered, as she'd gotten an odd feeling about Obadiah too. Not quite sure what it was yet, but it wasn't a good feeling; still she decided to keep silent and see what happened

Meanwhile the scene change yet again in a quick manner. Tony and Obadiah walking down a hallway with Pepper following closely behind. Before they girls saw the large crowd inside a conference room. Mostly new reporters, journalist and the various camera crew; alongside the building security guards in the large room too.

"Hey, look who's here!" Obadiah stated once more loudly, as the new crowd clapped with a few camera flash going off already; Pepper staying behind since she didn't need to be up at the podium with Tony

"Ms. Potts?" A man's voice suddenly said, Pepper looking to left seeing a pale skinned, brown eyed, dark brown haired man in a black suit, with a black tie, black smart shoes and like everyone else in the building; a visitors pass card clipped on the left breast of his coat

"Yes." Pepper asked, as she had been a bit startled by the suddenness; but kept herself calm as the man seemed safe enough… she hoped

["Stranger danger."] Lily Jeanne and Lily Da-Vinci muttered in a joking manner, as they heard one another. Looking at each other, before snickering some more at their little sudden inside joke

"May I speak with you for a moment?" The man asked, in a kind if not with a small hint of a serious tone that Pepper and the girls took notice of

"I'm not part of the press conference, but it's about to begin right now." Pepper simply replied back, as she didn't want to answer any questions that could make things complicated for Tony

"I'm not a reporter. I'm agent Phil Coulson, with the Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics Division." The man calmly explained, rather quickly too despite the rather… long name while he also took out a small work card from his breast pocket

["That's quite a mouth full."] Jeanne stated, blinking once or twice from the rather unnecessary long name

["It's not that long."] Mecha-Eli-Chan replied back as if you asked her, it really wasn't that hard of a name to repeat

["It kind of is, Pep's probably thinks so too."] Jeanne Alter quipped, on her elder sister side with this and not realizing she was liking this movie much more then she'd admit. Since she just called Pepper a nickname you'd usually have for a good friend

["Yeah it really is Miss Elie."] Jeanne Lily mused herself on her elder sisters side as well, the Da-Vinci sisters and Fran knowing to just stay out of it kept their silence

"That's quite a mouthful." Pepper bluntly stated as she took the card

["HA, she agrees!"] Jeanne surprisingly shouted in triumph, smirking a bit smugly too of all things for the saintly girl

["Oh yeah she did. HAHA!"] Lily Jeanne also surprisingly cheered, in a rare form of smugness enveloping her as well

["GIVE ME FIVE SISTERS!"] Jeanne Alter proudly cheered, as she held out both her hands. Jeanne and Lily Jeanne quickly giving their middle Alter sister a high five; while the others watched the interaction

["Graw…"] Fran growled with a slight chuckle, while Mecha Eli-Chan rolled her eyes and the Da-Vinci sister chuckled themselves

["Got that right Fran, Jeanne Alter is starting rubbing off a bit on her sisters."] Lily Da-Vinci chuckled once more, her elder sister nodding in agreement. Before they all turned their attention back to the movie

"I know. We're working on it." Coulson explained, like he'd heard this same sentence a little too much as it was

"We've been approached already by the DOD, FBI, CIA-" Pepper began to explain herself, as she didn't want Tony to be dealing with any more of these sorts things since he only just got back not even day

"We are a separate division. With a more specific focus. We need to debrief Mr. Stark about the circumstances of his escape." Coulson answered, cutting Pepper off and being fully honest with the woman. But he really did or his superiors, really did need to talk with Tony Stark and soon

"I'll put something in a book, shall I?" Pepper offered, as she hopped that was a good enough answer for the man

"Thank you." Coulson responded, as he moved his attention back to the meeting just about to start. Pepper herself letting out an internal sigh of relief, as it seemed like this man was at least the understandable type

But like always, the scene quickly changed to Obadiah standing at the podium, trying to figure out what to say right now to the small little horde of reporters there. All of them ready to spew out their questions by the droves, then the view quickly panned down showing Tony was sitting against the podium itself. Not that anyone in the movie or the girls watching could blame the man for it, he did just get out of at least a good week of being held captive by terrorists. So he earned a bit of unprofessional behavior for the time being.

"Hey, would it be alright if everyone sat down. Will you sit down. That way you can see me, and I can... a little less formal..." Tony asked the crowd of reporters as they all did so, a bit embarrassed some of them; but they all did none the less

Meanwhile Tony pulled out his cheese burger he'd been keeping safe in his coat. Unwrapping the top just a bit and taking a bite out as Obioha also sat next to him. Then the scene changed showing Rhode had finally arrived, moving up next to Pepper as he began to kneel down next to her.

"What's up with the lovin?" Rhode asked, quietly but with a hint of concern in his tone as for as long as he knew of Tony; this wasn't normal behavior at all for the man

"Don't look at me, I don't know what he's up to." Pepper quickly replied back as she had no idea what was going on with Tony now, this was also to her stranger then she'd seen ever seen of Tony

Meanwhile scene then changed back to Tony, showing him taking one more bite of his burger before looking over to Obadiah. Obadiah just smiling back at the younger man.

"Good to see you." Tony said in a rather to calm manner, as Obadiah just nodded back before patting his right shoulder "I never got to say goodbye to dad."

Though as Tony said this, the girls became curious on what Tony was starting to go on about. He seems kind of too calm right now considering again everything he'd gone through already. It was starting to get them a bit worried about the man's mental state. But as they watched, they saw Tony then looked upon the crowd of reporters.

"I never got to say goodbye to my father." Tony repeated, loudly and clear to the reporters as they all just kept quiet while he placed his cheese burger back in his jacket "There's questions that I would've asked him. I would've asked him how he felt about what his company did. If he was conflicted, if he ever had doubts… or maybe he was every inch of a man we all remember from the newsreels… I saw young Americans killed. Killed by the very weapons I created to defend them and protect them. And I saw that I had become part of a system that is comfortable with zero-accountability…"

"Mr. Stark!" One, two or three reporters all said at once, Tony looking and pointing to one of the older men in the crowd who'd ask for a question

"What happened over there?" The older male reporter asked, calmly and hopefully in a respectful manner

["A lot buddy. A lot."] Jeanne Alter whispered, as she and the girls saw the view switch back to yet again a much too calm looking Tony Stark

"I-I had my eyes opened." Tony stated as he stood back up, walking to and behind the podium now to address the reporters in a more professional manner "I came to realize that I have more to offer this world than just making things that blow up."

["Graw…"] Fran muttered as she for some reason had a feeling, Tony was about to say something quiet shocking; the man's mannerisms seemed to show that all of sudden

"And that is why, effective immediately, I'm shutting down the weapons manufacturing division of Stark International." Tony stated sternly, as the reporters immediately jumped back on their feet screaming questions. A quick switch showed Rhode's and Peppers in silent shock from the deceleration. Didn't help since there were camera's behind in the back recording the whole press conference worldwide. Obadiah meanwhile had quickly moved over to Tony so he could start speaking on his behalf, before Tony said anything else that could be deemed a 'surprise' "Until such a time, as I can decide what the future of this company will be. What direction it should take, the one I'm comfortable with and is consistent with the highest good of this country and the world."

["It seems his times in captivity have given Mr. Stark a much broader view of the world before him. I would call that rash most times, but here I believe he made a correct if profit challenging choice."] Mecha Eli-Chan proclaimed, but smiling for once at Tony's decision with his company

["Same. I mean yeah he's gonna get like super low funds for a while. But personally I'd rather have that then my inventions being used to kill people I'm trying to keep safe. But hey that's just me."] Da-Vinci added in as she was being honest, sure she may be blunt and such at times; but she still held high morals when it came down to it. That with her pride as an inventor herself, she could feel like she was relating with Tony even more than before

["Yep, totally big sis!"] Lily Da-Vinci happily said, as the others just silently agreed with the three before looking back seeing Obadiah at the podium fully; while Tony had been ushered off

"What we should take away from this... is that Tony's back and he's healthier than ever. We are gonna have a little internal discussion and we'll get back to you with a follow-up." Obadiah stated, with the best smile and calm tone he could muster up for the roaring crowd of reporters

Then for once, the scene faded out. But at the same time, showed a small factory from a sky view. Before the view switched ground side, showing Obadiah with a cigar in his mouth and riding on an odd two wheeled contraptions that the girls didn't know what it was called at all. Though before they could wonder more on the two wheeled contraption, they saw the same driver of Tony's taking a smoke break as the man leaned against Tony's personal car. Obadiah stopping to address the man.

"Where is he?" Obadiah asked getting off his little two wheeled contraption

"He's inside." Tony driver simply answered as Obadiah gave him a nod of appreciation, before walking into the building before him. Once inside, seeing a much larger version of the arc reactor. He saw Tony leaving on the guard rails, and just staring at the machine

"That... that went well." Obadiah loudly said, getting Tony's attention even if he didn't look back at his friend

"D-Did I just paint a target on the back of my head?" Tony asked, making sure that what he just did most likely would put him in a rather uneasy situation

Your head. What about my head?" Obadiah joked back, if not with a slight stern tone as he moved over to Tony, leaning against the guards rails himself now "What do you think the over-under on a stock drop is gonna be?"

"Optimistically… 40 Points?" Tony answered, even if he could feel the immediate cringe on how obviously wrong he knew he was

"At minimum." Obadiah quickly snapped back, being as blunt as he needed to be while not too stern considering what Tony was most likely dealing with mentally

"Yep…" Tony muttered, as he knew better than anyone how bad this was going to get for the company. Even if that wasn't his top priority to worry on, no his mind was occupied by something much more important to him at the moment

"Tony." Obadiah said, as he and Tony faced one another to have a more personal talk with each one another "We're a weapons manufacturer."

"Obie, I just... I don't want the body count to be our only legacy." Tony tried to explained, as until his incident. He honestly had never had any idea on how his name… no his legacy was being shaped without his notice. So far, he had to admit it wasn't great

"That's what we do. We're iron mongers, we make weapons." Obadiah began to explain, to help Tony see reason at his rather irrational actions since he got back

It's my name on the side of the building." Tony quickly tried to argued back, but Obadiah was already ready with a counter

"What we do keeps the world from falling into chaos." Obadiah again tried to explain to Tony, but the young man before him he knew was very stubborn

"Not based on what I saw. We're not doing a good enough job. We can do better, we're gonna do something else." Tony started to explain himself, as he really did believe his new idea would be a much more helpful for the betterment of the world as a whole

"Oh, like what. You want us to make baby bottles?" Obadiah rhetorically asked as he really was wondering what else Tony was hoping the company could start up making

"I think we should take another look into Arc Reactor technology." Tony explained, as Obadiah took a moment to register the suggestion before he couldn't help but let out a frustrated sigh

Oh, come on. The Arc Reactor, that's a publicity stunt!" Obadiah answered, walk a bit to the right as he took out his cigar and held in between his fingers while giving Tony a questioning look as the man walked by him before stopping "Tony, c'mon. We built that thing to shut the hippies up!"

"It works." Tony proclaimed as he meet with Obadiah's gaze

Yeah, as a science project. The Arc was never cost-effective. We knew that before we built it. Arc Reactor technology, that's a dead end, right?" Obadiah exclaimed, as he looked like he was waiting for an another

"Maybe…" Tony replied back, a little too quickly before he could feel Obadiah gaze on him grown only stronger

"Huh am I right?" Obadiah asked once again, with that slightly stern edge to it once more if not with a bit of curiosity as well "We haven't had a breakthrough in that, in what... 30 years."

"That's what they say…." Tony quipped as a sudden few second silence occurred between the two. Tony couldn't help but just stop beating around the bush "Could you have a lousier poker face. Just tell me, who told you?

"Never mind who told me. Show me." Obadiah muttered, to make sure no one overheard just incase

"Rhodey. It's Rhodey or Pepper." Tony began to guess, mainly to avoid having to show any more people his newest little addition in his chest

"I wanna see it." Obadiah once more muttered as he was done beating around the bush too

"Okay, Rhodey." Tony quickly remarked, as he knew he couldn't get out of this now

"Okay?" Obadiah stated, making sure Tony understood his request

Okay…" Tony groaned, before take a quick glance around to also make sure no one else would see. Then pulling down the collar of his shirt, his own personal arc reactor glowed as Obadiah seemed stunned at the sight alone

["It's even prettier."] Lily Jeanne whispered at the more cleaner sight of Tony's arc reactor, the others just watching on as they hadn't heard her little comment

"It works." Tony whispered as Obadiah let out a small chuckle of disbelief, before pulling Tony's shirt back over the arc reactor. Then put his right hand over Tony's shoulder, pulling the young nan closer to him

"Listen to me, Tony. We are a team, do you understand?" Obadiah asked, as Tony seemed for once a bit uneasy to the girls as they watched the scene. Even if he barley showed it "There's nothing we can't do if we stick together, like your father and I."

"I'm sorry I didn't give you a heads up, okay. But if I had-" Tony started to explained, but was quickly cut off by the older man

"Tony, no more of this 'ready - fire - aim' business. Do you understand me?" Obadiah calmly said, as he gave Tony a small smile

"That was dad's line." Tony stated as Obadiah moved his hand off his shoulder. While Tony began making his way off, with Obadiah following behind

"You gotta let me handle this. We're gonna have to play whole different kind of ball now. We're gonna have to take a lot of heat. I want you to promise me that you're gonna lay low." Obadiah kindly asked, as he and Tony vanished out of view

Though for the girls, the moment of silence didn't last as suddenly the scene changed to a balding man in a suit and a crazy looking office set. Some headlines to the man's right saying 'MAD MONKEY' The girls could also tell it must have been a television program. Since well the view panned out a bit showing it was indeed being broadcasted from a TV.

"Stark Industries. I've got one recommendation. Ready, ready?!" The TV host stated in a loud tone, as a few annoying sounded played off "Sell, sell, sell. Abandon ship, does the 'Hindenburg' ring any bells?"

The view then quickly switched to show a rather uncomfortable Pepper watching the very program. Wondering if this was all that was going to come from Tony's announcements or if it would get worst before getting any better.

"Let me show you the new Stark Industries business plan!" The TV host remarked, taking out a baseball bat as he broke three coffee mugs that had the 'Starks Industries' logo on it "Look, that's a weapons company that doesn't make weapons!"

Though as Pepper was cringing at the unfortunate and accurate criticism, the pad she had in her hands went off showing it was Tony. Happy to have something to get her attention off the program she was stuck watching. She answered the call.

"Pepper." Tony said through the other side of the line "How big are your hands?"

"What?" Pepper asked, confused on why he'd ask that of her of all things

"How big are your hands?" Tony repeated, though that really didn't answer Pepper's question

"I don't understand why…" Pepper asked yet again, as she was even more confused now

"Get down here. I need you." Tony simply explained, before hanging up on the call. Pepper rightfully confused still decided to just not question it and made her way downstairs. It didn't take her too long, before she came inside of Tony's man cave and saw him laid on a medical table with no shirt on

"Hey!" Tony said, happy as he usually was as Pepper walked right up next to him "Let's see them. Show me your hands. Let's see them… Oh, wow, they are small. Very petite, indeed. I just need your help for a sec."

Oh my God…" Pepper muttered, as she finally got a good look at the arc rector in Tony's chest "Is that the thing that's keeping you alive?"

"It was, it is now an antique." Tony answered, picking up on his right a much more modernized arc reactor and showed it to Pepper who eyed in a silent awe "This is what will be keeping me alive for the foreseeable future. I was swapping it up for an upgraded unit and I just ran into a little... speed bump."

"Speed bump… what does, w-what does that mean?" Pepper questioned as whenever it 'speed bump' and 'Tony' or any sort of 'bump' was involved. It never ended well, for himself and usually herself having to clean up after his so called 'bumps'

"It's nothing, it's just a little snag. There's an exposed wire under this device and is contacting a socket wall and is causing a little bit of a short circuit." Tony explained, as he took his old arc reactor out and handed it to Pepper who took it even if she was in total silent disgust at taking a device that had been literally jammed into her bosses chest until now

"What do you want me to do?" Pepper asked, though she immediately felt stupid for even asking the obvious

"Put that on the table over there. That is irrelevant." Tony first explained as Pepper knew he meant the old arc reactor. So she did, as Tony laid full against the table before Pepper turned back to face Tony "I just want you to reach in... and you're just gonna gently lift the wire out."

"Is it safe?" Pepper asked, as she had a real bad feeling that it wasn't… like at all

"Yeah, it should be fine. It's just like an operation, you just don't let it touch the socket wall." Tony answered, though to be honest it wasn't…. BUT he didn't want too many people he didn't know seeing this thing in his chest for a few good reasons

"What's Operation?" Pepper asked once again, as in all honesty she had never heard of such a game… sounded kind of weird to make a board game based around operations

"It's just a game, never mind." Tony responded back. Though suddenly he was kind of regretting asking Pepper for help, if she didn't even know what Operation was. Still she already here and already moving her hand near the now gaping hole in his chest "Just gently lift the wire. Okay. Great. "

"Okay." Pepper calmly muttered, as she slowly moved her hand closer to Tony's chest hole. But she quickly moved her hand away from sudden second thoughts of doing what was basically and illegal surgery of sorts "You know, I don't think that I am qualified to do this."

"No, no, you're fine. You're the most capable, qualified and trustworthy person I've ever met. You're gonna do great. Is it too much of a problem to ask… cause I really need your help here." Tony quickly reassured Pepper, who smiled a little at the words of encouragement as she started to move her hand back to the chest hole

"Okay…" Pepper whispered as she took a deep breath before finally putting her hand into the chest hole and she QUICKLY regretted even agreeing to this "Oh, there's pus!"

["Ew…"] Lily Jeanne and Lily Da-Vinci said, as they the older spirits and even Mech Eli-Chan couldn't help but agree with that statement in their own silence

"It's not pus. It's a plasmic discharge, it's from the device. Not from my body." Tony reassured, though that didn't sound any better to Pepper or the girls watching the scene itself. That and the gross squish sounds playing as Pepper slowly moved her hand deep into Tony's chest hole

"It smells!" Pepper complained as she swore she was going to make Tony pay her extra for a year after this

"Yeah, it does." Tony teased, as he was finding Peppers reactions rather funny. But he knew he had to get her to procced with the next step of this makeshift operation "The copper wire. The copper wire, you got it?"

"I got it." Pepper answered as she finally felt the wires, though the feeling of the so called plasmic discharge would stay with her to the ends of her days

"Now don't let it touch... the sides, that's what I was trying to tell you before. Okay, now make sure that when you pull it out, you don't pull out the magnet… GAH!" Tony started to explain as Pepper pulled on the wires, but had pulled too much as she also pulled a solid piece of a circular shape made from copper itself "And the end of it. That was it... that you just pulled out."

"Oh God. OK!" Pepper screamed, as she was real close to freaking out. But was able to keep calm mainly since she knew Tony really would need her now "What do I do?"

Don't put it back in, don't put it back in!" Tony warned first, as Pepper just placed the copper where the old arc reactor was. Though Pepper noticed Tony seemed to be acting odd in an alarming way

"What's wrong?" Pepper asked, worried that this just got a lot worse

"Nothing, I'm just going into cardiac arrest cause you yanked out..." Tony answered, already feeling the symptoms that came with a sudden cardiac arrest

"What?!" Pepper screamed at the news, the girls were quiet shocked themselves as they watched "I thought you said this was safe!"

"We gotta hurry…" Tony began to explain, ignoring Peppers mini freak out as he handed Pepper her his new arc reactor "Take this, you gotta switch. Real quick. "

"Okay, okay… Tony, it's gonna be okay. I'm gonna make this okay." Pepper reassured as she had NO idea what she was doing and this was more for her own self confidence

"Let's hope." Tony simply said through the pain he was feeling, though he wondered what his gravestone would say. 'Death by assistant who did my botched operation…' Yeah, that wasn't at all a noble way or just any sort of way to go

["Just to say, this is quiet dangerous because of possibility of infection from Peppers hand. That and the possibility his arc reactor could reject this new version of his arc reactor. Which then will cause him to most likely die in a slower pain filled death."] Mecha Eli-Chan stated bluntly, before she got a slight punch in the arm by Fran who gave her a silent stare. Then she looked seeing the adults giving her the same stares. Before she looked at the kids who looked mortified by her words. So deciding to be the nice girl here, she already knew how to fix this ["Ahem… in our standards of course. I'm sure Tony will be fine. Promise."]

["Better…."] Jeanne, Jeanne Alter and Da- Vinci whispered, while Fran slowly nodded and Mecha Eli-Chan made a new rule to not say stuff like that anymore when the kids were around as she watched on

"Okay you're gonna touch that to base plate. And make sure you... NGAH!" Tony explained, as Pepper had slowly did her best to connect what she guessed was the ports for the new arc reactors wires. A few seconds later as Pepper pulled her hand out and clicked it back, Tony couldn't help but tease her a bit "Was that so hard. That was fun, right. Here I got it, I got it here and nice."

"Are you okay?" Pepper asked, hopping that was the case because she was not going to jail for killing her boss by accident

"Yeah, I feel great. You okay?" Tony teased a bit more, as Pepper chuckled from the shock at what had occurred just now

"Don't ever, ever... ever, ever, ever. Ask me to do anything like that ever again." Pepper pleaded, chuckling a little more at the possibility of this being a usual occurrence

"I don't have anyone but you." Tony suddenly remarked, as it became silent between him and Pepper. Both just staring at each other, a small hint of smile forming on Peppers face. Before Tony quickly broke that sudden tension between them. Getting up from the table seconds later as he started to get his shirt back on "Anyways…"

["Ship it…"] Lily Jeanne and Lily Da-Vinci chanted in a hush and small fit of giggles

["We are not hearing the end of this are we?"] Jeanne Alter asked as her eye twitched a bit

["Gao."] Fran answered with a small smile and shrug

["Eh… thank you Fran I was being rhetorical."] Jeanne Alter replied back with a sigh, as the other adults just let kept on watching seeing Pepper moved closer to the table with Tony's old arc reactor

"What do you want me to do with this?" Pepper asked meanwhile, while Tony with his shirt back on now; looked back to see what she meant

"That, destroy it. Incinerate it." Tony simply answered, as Pepper frowned just a bit as she gazed at the makeshift arc reactor in her hands

"You don't wanna keep it?" Pepper asked once more, as she didn't know why but she felt he needed to keep this; call it a gut feeling if you would

"Pepper, I've been called many things. Nostalgic is not one of them." Tony quipped truthfully, as Pepper just smiled a bit back

"Would that be all, Mr. Stark?" Pepper said, the usual atmosphere coming back just like that

"That would be all, Ms. Potts." Tony answered, like he usually did before starting his way back over to his desk, but motioned the robotic mobile arm he'd had help him out; to come with him "Hey butterfingers, come here. What's all this stuff doing on top of my desk? That's my phone, that's a picture of me and my dad... Right there. In garbage. All that stuff."

Though as Tony got back to whatever he was going to be doing. Pepper couldn't help but look at the arc reactor for a few more moments. Making her way out seconds after as she decided she wasn't going to throw the makeshift arc reactor away. No she had a better idea for it. Though as he walked away, she didn't notice Tony giving her one last looked before looked back the other direction.

Then the scene quickly switched to a military base, a jet making its way off while other plans were parked and people walked around. The heat could be seen a bit too, but the view changed to inside one of the hangers. Also filled with one or two jets, along with people walking around inside as well.

"The future of air combat. Is it manned or unmanned?" Rhode asked, loudly to a group of five airmen. Mostly likely giving them a prep talk on their future's in this base as they he stood to the right of a parked jet "I'll tell you, in my experience, no unmanned aerial vehicle will ever trump a pilot's instinct, his insight. That ability to look into a situation beyond the obvious and discern its outcome or pilot's judgement."

"Colonel, it's... why not a pilot without a plane?" Tony Stark mussed suddenly strolling in, amused a bit as he stopped right next to Rhodes left

"Look who fell outta the sky. Mr. Tony Stark." Rhode remarked as the airmen with him though acting professional were surprised to be seeing Tony Stark here, even more when he shook each of their hands before he smirked towards Rhodes

"Speaking about manned or unmanned, you gotta get him to tell you about the time he guessed wrong. It's spring break, just remember that." Tony teased, as he hadn't been able to do this for a while "Spring break 1987, that lovely lady, what was his name. Was it Ivan?"

"Don't do that, they'll believe it. Don't do that." Rhodes, quickly stated as he knew Tony was doing this for fun. Though he was glad his friend seemed better, if only a bit he guessed. But seeing the airmen laugh a bit, he decided to let it be. Though he did need to talk with Tony, make sure if things really were better-ish "Give us a couple of minutes, you guys."

The airmen just did what they were told, leaving Rhodes and Tony alone quickly, once it was just the two of them. Rhodes gave Tony a slight smile.

"I'm surprised." Rhodes simply said

"Why?" Tony asked, confused on what Rhodes was even surprised about

"I didn't expect to see you walking around so soon." Rhode furthered explained, as in all honest he didn't expect Tony to be up so quickly. His old friend was a stubborn one, but after all the scans and X-rays. Even if it wasn't too bad, Tony had taken pain that most men wouldn't be able to just jump from

"I'm doing a little better than walking." Tony answered, smirking a bit in pride at what he was planning. In all honesty, he was happy to see Rhodes again; though he also came down here to ask him something important

"Really?" Rhode's questioned, as again Tony physically seemed fine. But considering what he went through from the debriefs, what the files had written down and his behavior in general ever since coming back. Rhodes felt he and many others close to him, had the right to questions Tony's mental health

"Yeah. Rhodey, I'm working on something big. I came to talk to you. I want you to be part of it." Tony explained, as he just decided to ignore the more than questioning tone Rhodes had just now. But Rhodes seemed to have his own words to let out a bit with Tony

"You're about to make a whole lotta people around here real happy, cause that little stunt at the press conference, that was a doozy." Rhodes remarked, calm still but with a slight stern scolding edge to his tone as well

"This is not for the military." Tony quickly replied, in a slightly hushed tone as he ignored Rhodes statement "I'm not... it's different."

"What, are you humanitarian now or something?" Rhodes asked, a bit angrily this time as Tony really was acting odd now

"I need you to listen to me." Tony began to argued back, only for Rhodes to stop him before he could say more

"No, what you need is time to get your mind right." Rhodes sternly explained, as Tony tried to think of what else to say. But he couldn't right now as Rhodes gave him a critical stare "I'm serious."

["Graw, umf, graw."] Fran growled with a small smile, mostly because she could see how much Rhodes cared for Tony

["She's right. Friends always do make things better. Even if it mean's scolding you from time to time."] Jeanne happily added in, the rest all just either staying silent or nodding in agreement as they watched the scene go on

"It was nice seeing you, Tony." Rhode said, kinder a bit more as he made his way off

"Thanks." Tony muttered, a bit bummed out that Rhodes wasn't giving him a chance to explain the plan. But maybe it was better this way, less people meant less issues in the future… at least for now that is

The girls still though kept quiet, invested pretty much into this movie by now, as they saw the scene change. Showing a left panning view of Tony's home, before the scene changed once more showing Tony's hands on a lite up keyboard.

"Jarvis, are you up?" Tony asked, the view switching over to him sitting in his chair

"For you sir, always." Jarvis responded, ever so the diligent program companion while view again switched to the screen Tony was looking at. Which were redraw digital schematics of his armor

"I'd like to open a new project file, index as 'Mark 2'." Tony explained as he took a digital pen into his hand, before he began using it to move the windows on the computer screen. Before he grabbed the redraw image of his first armor, moving it from one computer to another next to it. Then onto a table that seemed to have a computer built into it. Before an image of a dissembled version of Tony's first armor appeared in holo form on the table

"Shall I store this on the Stark Industries' central database?" Jarvis inquired as Tony already had thought of this and knew his answered

"I don't know who to trust right now. Till further notice, why don't we just keep everything on my private server." "Tony answered as he got up from his seat, inspecting the holo image until he was on the other side of the holo table. The image of his first suit reforming back into its built form

"Working on a secret project, are we, sir?" Jarvis asked

"I don't want this winding up in the wrong hands. Maybe in mine it could actually do some good." Tony explained yet again, as he began to modify the old suit by take pieces off it and throwing it in a virtual trash can, before grabbing it by the arms and spinning it around to inspect it a bit more

Though as that was going on, the scene changed back to a very familiar desert. A few of a good two dozen remaining Ten Ring soldiers walking down a sandy hill while others could be seen digging around the area. A few armored trucks with turrets bolted to the back in the area too. Then the view switched showing one of the men dig out a very, very familiar mask.

Seconds later this soldier yelled over to someone else, that being the very same man who was the leader of Ten rings Goggles over his eyes to keep them safe from the sand that could blow into them, though the right side of his face showed off a semi- newly disfigured scar. But the man seemed calm, as he saw what one of his soldiers had dug up. Telling him to bring it over, the soldier fast walking to him as more small bits and pieces of Tony's old suit could be seen stuck in the sand itself. As the leader took the mask from his soldier moments later, he stared at it in silence. Intense silence.

["Well… guess that just happened."] Lily Da-Vinci stated, as that was a bad sign if the Ten rings already found the pieces to Tony's old wrecked suit

["Yep…"] Da-Vinci, Jeanne Alter and Mech Eli-Chan replied back. While Jeanne and Fran just nodded. Then finally Lily Jeanne was silent, but feeling nervous for Tony in the future of this film, before they saw the scene change again. Showing Tony now working on a boot frame for what the girls guess, would be part of his new suit

"Next. Up. Not the boot, Dummy, right here. You got me… stay put. Nice…. You're no benefit at. Move down to the toe, I got this." Tony said to the robotic mobile arm of his, as it was helping him with this task "Okay, I'm sorry, am I in your way… up. Screw it, don't even move. You... are a tragedy."

Once done Tony then took a few more seconds to smelt whatever wire was left in the boot. Before placing his tools down and pressing a manual switch as the boot frame as it opened up from the back slowly. But a second later, the girls saw a new scene, one of Tony being recorded as he now had two boots on his legs, while holding what must have been triggers for them. Fixing a light, before he began walking back to the center of the testing grounds.

"Okay, let's do this right. Start mark, half meter back of the center." Tony stated, before looking back at the mobile arm that now had a fire extinguisher in its pinchers "Dummy, look for light. Stand back for fire safety."

A quick view changed for the girls, showed them a second mobile arm platform. That was the one recording as Tony looked at it.

"You, roll it." Tony said, before the view switched back to him getting in a ready to go stance "Activate hand controls. We are gonna start up nice and easy, raising 10% thrust capacity to achieve lift. And 3…2..1."

But before Tony knew it, he was in the air upside down and flew right into the upper wall behind him. Hard too as it was also made of concrete. Tony falling down behind some tool boxes. As the mobile arm that had the fire extinguisher. Looked over at Tony and sprayed him with the extinguisher.

["Hahaha, what a moron!"] Jeanne Altar laughed, as Lily Da-Vinci and Lily Jeanne chuckled a bit too at the suddenness

["Pfff…"] Fran chuckled herself, while Mecha Eli-Chan snickered for just a moment

["Movie or not, that's a little mean to laugh at some ones else pain."] Jeanne scolded, as the girls either laughed or chuckled a bit more. Jeanne smiling herself seconds later as she giggle ["Hehe, okay maybe it was a bit funny."]

Though as the girls calmed down a bit, they kept watching to see Tony on his desk going through fixes and changes to the pieces of his new suit he'd made already. Using his holo table to make interactive display images, one being of a gauntlet of some kind that fit over most of his lower arm. Then they saw the real version. On a stand as Tony strapped his arm into it. Pepper coming into the room seconds later with a wrapped box and a coffee mug over the top of it.

"Up two. Alright, set that." Tony stated, to Jarvis most likely as Pepper stopped near him

"I've been buzzing you. Did you hear the intercom?" Pepper asked, though took quick notice of the gadget on Tony's arm

"Yeah, everything's..." Tony muttered in response seeming preoccupied, before he realized fully Pepper was down here "What?"

"Obadiah's upstairs." Pepper explained, as she placed what she brought Tony on the workbench to her right, while Tony lifted up his armored arm and held his left hand under it for support Then aiming the round circle device in his palm straight ahead

"Okay…" Tony replied in a slight whisper as he began to try and fire a shot from his new arm gadget

"I thought you said you were done making weapons?" Pepper questioned as whatever Tony was working on, it really looked like a weapon he was making. Which she couldn't figure out what was more worrying his behavior these past few days or the fact he was making some sort of weapon… maybe even a little bit of both

"It isn't. This is a flight stabilizer, it's completely harmless." Tony answered, as he began to charge up a shot. Only for a bolt of energy to fire off breaking the window ahead of him and making him fall over on his back. Pepper flinching back from the suddenness of it all. While Tony just laid on the ground in some pain now "I didn't expect that…"

The girls chuckled a bit at that, while the scene changed showing Tony coming back upstairs to his living room.

"How'd it go?" Tony asked as a quick view switch showed Obadiah on the piano in the room. Pepper already upstairs as she sat on the couch in the living room. With also, a pizza on the table, which Tony eyed "Oh, went that bad huh?"

"Just because I brought pizza back from New York doesn't mean it went bad." Obadiah quickly explained nonchalantly

"Sure doesn't…" Tony muttered, opening the pizza box to see it was nice fresh which to Tony meant it REALLY hadn't gone well. Still he took a slice of the delicious looking Pizza "Oh, boy."

"It would've gone better if you were there." Obadiah quipped, as he stopped messing around on the Piano. Taking his drink he'd set on top of it, then getting back up before walking over to where Tony and Pepper were

"You told me to lay low and that's what I've been doing." Tony started to explain, as he took a bite of his slice of Pizza "I lay low and you take care of all the..."

"Hey, c'mon. In public, the press." Obadiah argued back, taking a seat now to Tony's right "This was a Board of Directors meeting."

"This… This was a Board of Directors meeting?" Tony asked, making sure that was what he'd heard correctly

"The Board is claiming a Post-Traumatic Stress. They are filing an injunction." Obadiah explained, as Tony for a moment stopped moving from what he was just told

"A what?" Tony questioned, as he actually wanted to make sure he heard that right

"They wanna lock you out." Obadiah bluntly answered, since it was better for Tony to hear it now then later

"Why, cause the stocks dip 40 points?" Tony questioned, as he thought the board was overreacting "We knew this was gonna happen."

"56 and a half." Pepper bluntly cut in herself, to help Tony see how bad this was getting

"It doesn't matter. We own a controlling interest in the company." Tony tried to argue back

"Tony, the Board has rights too. They are making the case that you and your new direction isn't in a company's best interest." Obadiah explained

"I'm being responsible. That's a new direction. For me... for the company. I mean, me on the company's behalf being responsible for the way that... Oh, this is great!" Tony argued, before he got back up, took the box of pizza and began making his way to the stairs since his mood was considerably lower

"Oh c'mon, wait." Obadiah yelled, as he got up to stop him and the rest of the news at least "Tony, Tony!"

"I'll be in the shop." Tony answered, before Obadiah was able to catch up and stop him; then turn him around

Hey, hey, Tony, listen. I'm trying to turn this thing around, but you gotta give me something. Something to pitch them." Obadiah explained, before looking at where Tony's arc reactor was located "Let me have the engineers analyze that. You know, draw some specs."

"No. No. Absolutely not. This one stays with me. That's it Obie. Forget it." Tony quickly answered, shooting down any possibility of his arc reactor getting copied even by his own company

"Alright, well this stays with me then." Obadiah quipped, taking the New York pizza from away; but at least decided to offer Tony a slice as he held the box open for the man "Go on, here, you can have apiece. Take two."

"Thank you." Tony thanked, as he was still hungry anyway so this helped. Then the man began to make his way back to the stairs leading down to his workstation

"Do you mind if I come down there to see what you're doing?" Obadiah quickly asked since it seemed Tony was rather busy lately with whatever the man was working on

"Good night, Obie." Tony simply stated, as he waved off his old friend while finishing off the slice of pizza he took. Still, he couldn't worry about the company right now…no; he had to get started on his plan

The scene then changed, showing Tony back in his work station and being recorded again as he had his boots and now his arm thrusters on. Ready for the next trial run and hopefully this time it wouldn't be so… painful.

"Day 11, Test 37, Configuration 2.0. For lack of a better option, Dummy is still on fire safety. If you douse me again, and I'm not on fire, I'm donating you to a city college." Tony began to say, though he really felt the need to warn the oddly trigger happy mobile arm that liked to douse him with the fire extinguisher. Getting ready for a test, the scene switched to the recorders view of the test "Alright, nice and easy. Seriously, just gonna start off with one percent thrust capacity. And 3, 2, 1."

With that Tony activated the thrusters, which this time actually worked as he was lifted a few inches up in the air. Taking a few moments to get use to the feeling and balance himself out as best as he could for his first successful run. Landing seconds later, he balanced himself out again as to not trip. Then looking back at the mobile arm with the fire extinguisher.

"Please don't follow me around with it either cause I feel like I'm going to catch on fire spontaneously. Just stand down. If something happens, then come in." Tony pleaded as the mobile arm lowered its head like it had been scolded

The girls got a quick laugh out of that, they had to admit this move had a rather good balance of humor and seriousness so far. Then he got ready once more for another thruster test.

"Again, let's bring it up to 2.5%." Tony stated, as he activated his thrusters once more. This time seeming to be going even better…until he started to drift over to his cars "Okay, this is where I don't want to be!"

As he began to worry, it only became clear that some high force was screwing with the man. As he was now right over his own car collection.

"Not the car, not the car!" More worried that the flames from the boosters themselves would burn off the paint. Thankfully he was able to keep calm and start to drift back to the testing grounds "It could be worse. We are fine. Okay, we are getting…"

Tony then was able to find his footing, as right when he was back over to the testing grounds. He shut his thrusters off and landed back safely on the ground. Though he quickly noticed his rather not so helpful assistant robot was aiming the fire extinguisher at him once again.

"No, ah, ah, ah!" Tony quickly scolded as his assistant seemed to understand the command. But did seem to let out a sad synthetic grumble, while lowering its arm like it was disappointed

The girls watching couldn't help but laugh a bit again. Even once more Mecha Eli-Chan who well didn't laugh or giggle, but smirked at the small moment of humor. Then they saw the view switch over to a closer view of his face.

"Yeah. I can fly." Tony stated simply, smiling in satisfaction at his breakthrough as he began walking off. The servants watching more intensely now as they wanted to see how much more furthered he'd be going with his new armor

["Luna, Lena you two seriously got to make something like that. It would be awesome!"] Jeanna Alter stated with a big smile at the thought of flying, flying and setting everything on fire on the battle field. Oh glorious, glorious fire and the smell of burnt flesh; what a day it would be for her

["I'll advise you really don't. I think we all know what that could bring."] Mecha-Eli-Chan bluntly said, as the other quickly agreed much to Jeanne Alters poutiness seconds later. Well maybe she wasn't totally against it as she decided to use this moment for her own suggestion if the Da-Vinci sisters ever decided to do try and make Iron Man armor ["Why not Fran instead?"]

[Graw!"] Fran growled with a nervous smile at the suggestion, as she knew it. Mecha Eli-Chan was also thinking of idea's for her just like she could guess the Da-Vinci's where. She could only hope now her other friends would talk them inventor up and the Mecha servant out of the future unneeded upgrades in her opinion

["I'd say do it, an adorable flying terror she'd be."] Jeanne remarked as Fran started to question the sanity of even her more morally good friends

["Shh. Mister Tony is going all cooler now!"] Lily Jeanne said in glee, as the other chuckled a little at the cute shh. While Fran just sighed in silent relief and thanks to the youngest of the Jeanne sisters. The girl now see a quick scene change and were quite surprised too when seeing the end results of Tony's armor

They first saw the metal thrusters around Tony's legs have two plates of metal cover them by small robotic arms that were being used to place said plates on. Then a quick view change showing more piece of the armor plates being placed on the exo frame of the suit. Starting from the arms, elbows pieces being drilled in and a few more pieces after that.

"Jarvis, are you there?" Tony asked as the view switched to his now metal covered hand. Picking up the new face plate for the suit, before bringing it to his face. The eye pieces became transparent from the inside

"At your service, sir." Jarvis replied back on his usual calm tone, while the view once more switched. The girls now seeing Tony's eyes mainly with a blue light on them, while darkness surrounded his head

"Engage head up display." Tony asked, as a holo display within the helmet appeared over Tony's face

"Check." Jarvis replied, with a quick confirmation that everything within the suits internals was in working order

"Import all preferences from home interface." Tony ordered once more, as he was on the inside getting very excited. The girls also getting more giddy by the second, waiting to see what the first use of Tony's newest suit would look like. That and what the suit looked like from the outside aside from a few quick shots of said suit seconds ago

"Will do, sir." Jarvis stated, as the A.I was already doing so before even being asked. But he was glad his creator and him were on the same prep process when it came to this suit

Then the scene changed again, showing Tony's point of view as the holo system in his helmet and through his visor were working as intended. Taking account of everything around him in a matter of seconds.

"Alright, what do you say?" Tony asked once more, doing what he could to keep his excitement from bursting out by this point

"I have indeed been uploaded, sir. We're online and ready." Jarvis answered as Tony couldn't help but smirk a bit at the anticipation ever so building up inside of him that it was at the boiling point

"Start the virtual walkaround." Tony stated, the view changing back to his face inside the helmet

"Importing preferences and calibrating virtual environment." Jarvis quipped doing so, just as quickly as Tony asked for it

"Do a check on control surfaces." Tony ordered one more time when it came to his suit, as if that was good too. Then Tony knew he would be fully ready to test out his first revised version of his suit, when he felt the need to do so

"As you wish." Jarvis simply responded back, initiating the final part of the warm up trails for the suit

Then as always, a quick change in view with the scene occurred. Showing the various parts of Tony's suit start to flap in and out. From his legs, to his arms, his back, his sides, his chest and finally the girls saw the front. The human like face plate with the glowing blue eyes and his new ARC reactor in his chest glowing brightly. As the girls could see Tony's fully silver colored Mark.2 Iron Man suit. The girls all in silent awe as they were to invested in the scene before them by this point.

"Test complete. Preparing to power down and begin diagnostics." Jarvis explained, sounding rather pleased with the results of the test showing all the immediate important systems in the suit were working properly

"Ah, yes... tell you what. Do a weather and ATC check. Start listening the ground control." Tony interjected, as he decided that since he was in the suit already and everything was okay systems wise…why not just give it test run. You know for field intel… not fun…yep, no fun with this suit…not so ever… yup

"Sir, there are still terabytes of calculations needed before an actual flight." Jarvis warned, as he did not believe this to be the best course of action. But the construct had a good feeling of what his creator was going to do, even with his warning

"Jarvis... Sometimes you gotta run before you can walk. Ready… and 3, 2, 1." " Tony said, before he activated his thrusters. Then without even thinking he blast off straight ahead. Up and through his garage he flew high in the sky

The girls watching could only wonder how that must feel to fly so freely with you own body being the one to control it. Well aside from Mecha Eli-Chan who always could fly, but didn't ever bat an eye to that fact. Still meanwhile the view switched to Tony's face once more, a look of pure excitement as he flew at what could be compared to ten roller coasts at once from the G-force he felt. Flying and flying more through the air as he did a quick right curved turn to do a fly around, then over the city itself before he would call it day.

"Handles like a dream!" Tony happily cheered, as he did a few twirls. Feeling more excited from how much of a rush this was. Going by a carnival, he tried out the zoom feature at a Ferris wheel. Seeing two kids eating ice cream, one of them licking the ice cream right off the cone from seeing Tony fly by in his suit. While the other child just stopped mid-lick on their own ice cream. Tony couldn't help but chuckle at the reaction, even if it was an obvious one

["Can't say I blame em, I'd probably act the same way if I were their age seeing something like that."] Da-Vinci quipped, shrugging but smiling too as SO many ideas were coming to mind for future projects

["Grah, umf, umf."] Fran quipped, pointing at the two youngest in their group. Both sitting on the couch next to one another and smiling now in childlike glee at the sight before them

[-"CUTE!"-] Jeanne, Jeanne Alter mused, doing their best to not internally gush. While Da-Vinci, Fran and even Mech Eli-Chan despite her more dead panned look. All cooed also at the little one's reaction to the scene, they couldn't help but wonder what was going through their minds. But they let it be as they went back to watching the movie. Taking notice of Tony suddenly starting to fly upwards into the night sky

"Alright, let's see what this thing can do." Tony muttered, a quick view changed to inside his helmet as he just needed to test ONE more thing out before he called it a night "What's the SR-71's record?"

"The altitude record for fixed-wing flight is 85.000 feet, sir." Jarvis answered, Tony himself couldn't help but feel a sudden stronger urge to do this one last test as another view changed showed the moon from inside Tony's mask

"Records are made to be broken. C'mon!" Tony quickly stated, a cheer in his tone as he pushed his thrusters to go ever faster up into the sky

"Sir, there is a potentially fatal build-up of ice occurring." Jarvis quickly warned, but it fell on depth ears as ice starting to build up around Tony's armor

"Keep going… higher!" Tony yelled, as he pushed his suit even more. Only now to realize what was happening as his suit's thrusters shorted out and Jarvis unknown to Tony at the moment shut off since he was part of the now frozen short circuited suit. Then he began to fall back to the ground, at an alarming rate "We're iced up, Jarvis. Deploy flaps… Jarvis?!"

Though as Tony suddenly realized that Jarvis was out, the man feeling the G-force of the fall increase by the second. The girls watching were a little tense, even the less emotional or usually deadpanned one's of the group. Lily Da-Vinci and Lily Jeanne both the most worried as they clenched their teeth a bit watching Tony fall to his death. All silent as the hoped Tony would figure out a way to get out of this.

"C'mon, we gotta break the ice!" Tony screamed, though it fell on deaf ears as Jarvis wasn't responding one bit. The view quickly changing to show Tony on his right, move his right hand near his thigh. Digging into one spot for a moment before he broke the ice and there was a small circular nob on the leg

But at the same time, Tony didn't realize that he was very close to the ground now and would die horrifically in his metal suit if he didn't act quick. The girls all watching as the two youngest got more and more nervous. Though thankfully within the split second as Tony turned the nob on his armor. The flaps opened breaking all the ice. Then a mere few seconds before impact to the ground, in the middle of lite thing of late night traffic. Jarvis turned back on, quickly seeing the situation. Jarvis activated the thruster sprang the sit back to life. Tony quickly using this moment to fly past, then above some of the cars in his way. Tony during this quick save, let out a cheer of glee as he flew off back to his home. Once he was in the back yard of his home, he hovered there for a few moment.

"Kill power." Tony simply said, as he was glad that everything went…

['Crunch, brrrk, crash!']

Those were the sounds the girls heard as it appeared Tony hadn't calculated the weight of his suit when it came to even a few inches of above ground contact with his rather thin backyard. Falling through the ground of his back yard first, then his living room right on top of the grand piano and then onto one of his cars. The girls wide eyed at the sight a bit of the suddenness, seeing Tony in his suit just laying there as debri from above fell on him. Not even a second later, the same mobile robotic arm that Tony had used during this whole creation of his suit. Well… it hit him once more with the fire extinguisher still in its pinchers.

Tony gave the bot a look, one the girls swore screamed 'REALLY…okay…whatever….' Before he lowered his head at the actions. The girls getting a quick laugh out of the scene itself, Mech Eli-Chan even if not a bit of a robotic giggle. Though the scene yet again switched showing Tony in his workstation, kicking away a chair as he was out of his suit if only to have an ice pack on the top of his head. Before again seeing the same box and Mug that Pepper had left down her not to long ago. Tony walking up to it, took the mug before realizing a note was on top of the wrapped box. Taking a moment to read a small stick that's said 'From Pepper', he then proceeded with opening the box itself Which turned out to be not a box.

No instead it was a glass case, with a wooden stand and inside, inside hoisted up by a singular metal bar. Was Tony's first arc reactor. Only it was different. Tony seeing that it had words on it. Words that said in a honest and teasing manner. 'Proof that Tony Stark has a heart.' Tony couldn't help but smile. It was odd, he wasn't one for semimetal stuff. But this… this for some reason, he couldn't help but love it. Being from Pepper, for some reason made it all the more… precious if he were to correctly use the word.

["SHIP, SHIP!"] Lily Jeanne and Lily Da-Vinci screamed at the cute sight. Da-Vinci sighing as she gave the two older Jeanna's a look

["What?"] Both Jeanne and Jeanne Alter asked at the sudden stare down

["You're sister infected mine with shipping disease. You both shall pay me back one way or another for this."] Da-Vinci quipped, smirking before paying attention back to the movie. Both Jeanne sisters a bit worried on that, since with Da-Vinci at least… that could mean anything. But they let it be…for now, looking back at the scene as well before them once

Which went from a cute and heartfelt moment, to a less then pleasant moment. As the scene changed showing to of the soldiers from the terrorist group with the pieces from Tony's all suit recovered. The men looking at some surviving schematics to put the suit back together. Then the scene panned over to the very man that was the leader, still alive but with the right of his face burnt enough to show scars and disfigurement. The girls were just silent, watching the scene switching back to the mask of Tony's first suit. Before it faded to a computer rendition of Tony's current suits mask. Then changing to show Tony sitting in a chair as he looked over his current suits schematics once more.

"Note, Main transducer feels sluggish at plus 40 altitude. The whole pressurization is problematic. I'm thinking 'icy' is a probable factor." Tony muttered loudly, as he had placed the ice pack on his shoulder now to help with that soreness a bit

"A very astute observation, sir. Perhaps if you intend to visit other planets, we should improve the exo systems." Jarvis suggested as Tony looked at another monitor screen displaying the whole suit

"Connect to the Cisco, have it reconfigure the shell metals. Use the gold-titanium alloy from the Seraphim tactical satellite. That should ensure the fuselage integrity while maintaining power -to-weight ratio. Got it?" Tony ordered, taking a sip from a glass of most likely rum that he poured himself

"Yes. Shall I render using proposed specifications?" Jarvis asked

"Thrill me." Tony simply answered, before looking to a TV he had installed in his work station seeing some of the more celebrity news going on

"Tonight's red hot, red carpeted, right here at the Disney Concert Hall, where Tony Stark's third annual benefit for the Firefighters Family Fund has become the place to be..." A news's woman in a rather nice red dress began to say about the event going on

"Jarvis, did we get an invite from them?" Tony asked curiously, as he was starting to internally debate if he should or shouldn't have a bit more fun outside the suit since the night was still young

"I have no record of the invitation, sir." Jarvis responded back, finding no such invitations addressed to him in the last few hours. Tony just nodded slight, as he kept his eyes on the news report

"Haven't been seen in public since his bizarre and highly controversial press conference. Some claim he's suffering from PTS and has been bed ridden for weeks. Whatever the case may be, no one expects an appearance from him tonight." The same news's woman stated, as it showed a few pictures taken after and during Tony's press conference. Tony thinking a bit more on his internal debate, was quickly interrupted by Jarvis

"The render is complete." Jarvis exclaimed, showing a now gold plated suit as Tony examined said suit

["Gilgamesh suit."] All the girls said/growled as if there was one thing they all know. If Gilgamesh saw this suit. He'd take it for his own, especially since it was all gold…. even if he had more than any one person ever could ask for

-Elsewhere same time-

"ACHOO!" A gold haired, peach skinned, red eyed man sneezed; inside his room with two more gold hair men. Well one of the two other men , wore what most could call a more old wear of one who practiced in the magical arts in the old Babylonia era. While the other one was child version of the two men, wearing a more modern style of clothing for young boys. All three from face value could be considered brothers if you asked anyone who didn't know the three

"Gilgamesh. My, my seems like someone is speaking of you." The Babylonia mage looking brother quipped, amused a bit as Gilgamesh smirked back

"Why of course Gil. Besides who wouldn't care to talk about a great king such as I hm?" Gilgamesh replied to what his brother who was actually another Gilgamesh or Gil to make it easier

"That is true. We Gils are quiet the pair aren't we ha!" Gil laughed, as Gilgamesh laughed as well; while the youngest one just sighed at this

This one, like the older two was a child Gilgamesh or Lil Gil as most referred to him as. Though when it came to those closer to him, called him Gilly. The Lily Artoria had suggested that one to him as it was a mix of first three letters of his name being G-I-L and the word Lily spelt LY which formed Gilly. A name again he only let those close call him that. Though for why he was sighing right now. Well it from being around his 'Older' brother and… well just that. Though he had gotten use to his brothers and they the same after quite a long year of uneasy bonding. The very idea of becoming either of his older brothers even if was a slight chance despite the fact he couldn't actually age being a servant. Well it was still unsettling. Seeing a small knife left on the counter near him. He picked it up and contemplated ending it like he usually did. Thinking on it some, he sighed once more and placed the knife down back on the counter.

"Not today Gilly…not today." Lil Gil muttered, as he thought it wasn't too bad of a thing to be honest. At least if he somehow ever grew up, he could possibly avoid being like his brothers/ older self's, though that small glimmer of happiness was quickly crushed seconds later

"Anyways, when will our sister be back. I'm sure she'd picked quite the number of outfits for us." Gilgamesh stated proudly, as Gil and Lil Gil shuttered a bit

"Honestly. I can't phantom why you let her…use us as dress up dolls." Gil asked as he and his brothers loved their sister who was an alternate named Angelica from another version of their world. Though now she was well… more Gilgamesh than before. Actually she was Gilgamesh fully, just in a female body with a female mind and well tastes

How she came to be was a freak accident if anything, during the whole magic girl situation and… never mind the details. Anyways by the end, the female Gilgamesh had become another part of the odd dysfunctional family know as Chaldea. Still again like Gilgamesh, Gil and Lil Gil/ They loved their sister dearly as she was to the older Gilgamesh's their little sister. While to Lil Gil she was his older sister. Kind of hard not to see her as the second oldest, I mean if you took a gander at her chest like WOW they are… AHEM; again never mind.

But either way even though Gil and Lil Gil loved their sister who now went by the nick name, Glynda. They also feared when she was in one of her dress up moods, it only was made worse since the quote on quote 'oldest'. Being Gilgamesh, spoiled her rotten for the most part when she was in these moods. Though Lil Gil was the main target as Glynda who seemed to find him the most adorable when dressed up. Lord help him if she found dresses again, Lil Gil still can't live down being made by Glynda to walk around for a week, in the last dress she picked for him. Lil Gil, looking back at the knife again picked it up and pulled it very close to his neck. Though stopped wondering if dying was worth it, even if it mean possibly more humiliation at the hands of his older sister. Sighing once more, he placed the knife back down.

"Well…bring it on…." Lil Gil muttered as he just accepted his fate with his older brothers and sisters. Even if again, they caused the youngest Gilgamesh to contemplate possible suicide almost…EVERY DAY. He did love them, so might as well stick around with them when he's in his own moods to mess with his siblings….

-Back with the girls and the movie-

The girls chuckled once again, honestly that was a funny thought. But they calmed down enough to watch the rest of the scene.

"Little ostentatious, don't you think?" Tony questioned as he may have been one to not be subtle, in a lot of things. But this suit seemed a bit too 'out' there to not be spotted a mile away

"What was I thinking. You're usually so discreet." Jarvis quipped, as Tony at times wondered if his construct had developed a small sense of sarcasm during his time online

"Tell you what..." Tony replied as he looked at the red hot rod he'd been working on when he could "Throw a little hot rot red in there."

"Yes, that shall help you keep a low profile." Jarvis once more in his own sarcastic way, quipped as he began to render the suit with some hot rod red now. Seconds later it was done "The render is complete."

""Yeah, I like it. Fabricate it and paint it." Tony said as he got up from his seat with a watch in his hands that had been on his desk

"Commencing an automated assembly. Estimated completion time is five hours." Jarvis explained as a Tony set his watch for five hours from now

"Don't wait up for me, honey." Tony remarked, before the screen went black, and the 'Please Stand By' Logo appeared. The laptop that had been in the room coming back on with a message on it now, the girls taking a gander

-Hello there, we hope you've enjoyed the movie so far. This is a quick fifteen minuet break, there is a bathroom in the back and some snacks/ water and soda's in the newly installed mini-fridge. Please take this time to either do your business in the bathroom or to get a few snacks and drinks ready for the rest of the film.-

Thank you and enjoy the rest of the film in fifteen minutes!

"Well guess we should, though I don't-" Jeanne began to say, before she felt a small tug and looked to see her baby sister giving her a slightly embarrassed look "Oh did you have to sweetie?"

"Yeah…" Lily Jeanne replied back, as she felt a bit embarrassed to even have to say it despite how close she was to everyone in the room

"Let me guess, you snuck in the kitchen and had some of pink lemonade Atalanta made for the kids huh squirt?" Jeanne Alter asked herself, as Lily Jeanne just nodded. The middle Jeanne sister rolling her eyes as she looked at the only other child. Giving off the same look "You too Little egg head?"

"It was really good!" Lily Da-Vinci answered back, a bit embarrassed herself at admitting she needed to go potty since even if she was more childlike. Again she did still have most of the adult mind-set of her elder sister/ her old self before… well her death

"I know right!" Lily Jeanne responded back, before Fran cut in

"Gao!" Fran growled as everyone looked at her now too "Umff, grah, unk."

"Well that's sweet of you to let them go first Fran." Jeanne kindly replied back, as she saw Fran get up and take the girls hands before she walked the girls and herself to the bathroom in the back. She was going to let the kids go first before herself. Though this now left Jeanne, Jeanne Alter, Da-Vinci and Mech Eli-Chan back on the couch

"So… anyone want to me grab a snack for them?" Mech Eli-Chan asked

"Yeah… sounds good." The other three simply answered back, as they had fifteen minutes to kill right now

Still they all had to admit, they were enjoying the movie. Thought they did also wonder….what was the point of all this and the better question from this whole set up was...

.

.

.

'Why?'

AND CUT!

Alright, so end of the chapter. Here we are and I do hope you enjoyed how I went along with it. I did like with the Lion king. Which was watched the whole movie, wrote the scene as best a could to match said scenes in word form, along with doing some of those scenes by memory as best as I could; then decided where to stop for this chapter. Which is near or a little pass the half way mark of this movie.

But anyways, also like Lion King. I did what I could to try and make the movie scenes a bit more personal so it doesn't just seem like I'm doing line here. Line there and you get the idea. Again I do hope that isn't an issue, but other then that. I hope you like the choices for the servants here.

Oh also yeah, as you can see I'm still putting up hints of my lore when it came to my game of Fate GO that also involves the parts of JP version.

Though to make sure and reinstate, this story takes place after all current events of the Fate GO story line from the JP version. With a hint of my own lore on how the servants ended up as this really close if not sometimes trying to kill each other dysfunctional family. With the brother and sister master duo having been a big part of it's creation of course. With more hints of my Chaldea's backstory coming later in the chapters ahead.

So now with everything said and done, until part two of this movie. I wish you all the best and healthy day's ahead! : )
