Iron Man pushed the car away from Whiplash with his foot. Biela shrieked slightly. "Bee," Tony said over the comm. "Protect Happy, Pepper, and all the civilians. Don't fire unless he gets too close, or if I really, really need the help." "The arc reactor is fully functioning," Biela noted. "You're not missing any, are you?" "Jarvis?" Tony asked. "All arc reactors constructed by either you or Miss Stark are accounted for," the AI replied. "Damn," Tony said. "You know I can hear you, right?" Biela asked. "You lived with terrorists and can cuss in every language you can speak, I'm pretty sure you've heard worse," Tony shot back.
Whiplash struck at him as he tried to fire at him with a repulsor. Biela flew to the car and moved it farther away from the fight. Tony tried again, but failed once more. He fired again, but Whiplash caught it with his whips. "Not doing so hot, Tony," Biela warned. Whiplash struck with his whips, grabbing Tony's arm with one and his neck with another. Whiplash used his leverage to throw him to the side. He threw him again. Biela could hear Pepper gasp. "Bee, I could use a little help here," Tony said. Biela fired three quick repulsor blasts, giving Tony time to get back on his feet. Whiplash let go with one whip.
Tony began twisting and ducking under the whip, wrapping it around himself. He finally reached Whiplash and flipped him upside down. Biela flew in quickly and ripped the arc reactor out of his chest. The electricity cut off, the whips crackling. Biela and Tony backed up as the security team rushed in to grab him. She could hear Pepper and Happy sighing with relief. Whiplash spat at them. "You lose," he spat, smiling and laughing. "You lose! You lose Stark!" Biela lifted up the arc reactor. Both she and Tony examined it as Jarvis and Jarvinia pulled up the specs. It was perfect. Biela crushed it between her metal fingers as emergency vehicles rushed in.
"Best get back to the plane, Bee," Tony said. "Before the press get here." Biela nodded once and took off, zooming straight for where the Stark Industries plane was kept at the airport. A hatch on top of the plane was opened by Jarvis to allow her entrance. She quickly got a new car for them and stashed the Mark B in it. She drove down to the track. "I'm here to pick up Mister Stark," she brusquely told the attendants at the gate. They let her in.
When she reached the party, she climbed out of the car and hurried over to Tony. Pepper was hugging him and scolding him about being alive. Biela hugged him as well. "Dying. Not nice," she told him. He gave a small, unconvincing half-smile. "Sorry, Bee." He nodded towards the authorities. "Tell them I want to talk to that guy. Ask where I need to go." Biela nodded and did just that.
