A/N: this chapter is gonna be the last chapter of iron man and because Orna is unconscious this is gonna be 1st person Tony's PoV because I wanted to write about the battle. Hope you enjoy.

Disclaimer: I do not, nor will I ever own marvel.

Warning: there are 1 or 2 curse words in this chapter. Just thought I'd let you know.

After Obadiah stole the arc reactor from my chest, the night seemed to blur. I vaguely remember making my way to the workshop and placing my old arc reactor in the slot.

Then I was lying on the floor.

I didn't know how I'd got there, and I didn't really care. I heard someone coming down the stairs, yelling my name. Rhodey. Bless the man, he was here.

When he got to me there was only one thing on my mind. "Pepper?" I asked. Would she really be dead?

"She's fine, she's with 5 agents. Their going to arrest Obadiah," he told me, relief and fear flooded my veins, she was alive, but she couldn't go near Obadiah, not with only 5 measly men to protect her.

It wouldn't be enough.

I voiced this to Rhodey and rose to put on my suit. As it connected around me all I could think of was Pepper, but there was something, nagging at my brain. I couldn't place it but I was sure I had forgotten something.

"Is there anything else you want me to do?" Rhodey asked, he always was too helpful for his own good. That's when it clicked. I had been so worried about my self, I had left my daughter unconscious upstairs.

"Keep the sky's clear." I said "and get Orna to a hospital, she's upstairs"

I flew off then, wasting no time in getting to Obadiah, he would not hurt my Pepper if he wanted to live.

I was getting annihilated, he was at least twice my size in his suit, and he was pummelling me into the had thrown cars at me, hit me with motorbikes, and my power was starting to run low.

As he threw me across the motorway again all I could think was that at least Orna would be safe. Hopefully Rhodey had her at a hospital by now, maybe she was even conscious. I doubted it it but I just wished I could have seen her one last time, when I
wasn't dying in frontof her and she wasn't unconscious on the living room floor.

I wasn't registering what he was saying, something about the company and getting in his way. But I didn'tcare. I just cared that he was stomping on me, then threw me into a bus.

Something like a missile came out of his shoulder and blew up the bus I had been ungraciously flung into. I was thrown roughly 30 feet in the air before I started to plummet back down to earth.

Before I hit the ground I turned on my repulser beams, so that I was left floating in the air.

"Impressive," Obadiah mocked. "I see you've upgraded your armour, I've made a few upgrades of my own" suddenly I wasn't the only one that could fly.

"Sir it seems his suit can fly" Jarvis said I my ear.

"Duly noted," I replied, "take me to maximum altitude"

Jarvis started going on about the power, how we wouldn't make it. "JUST DO IT" I yelled. Obadiah was gaining on us.

He was slower than me, but he probably had more power. But still I rose in the sky. I pushed it further and further, Jarvis in my ear the entire time.

Something grabbed my foot. Obadiah was talking about how his suit was more advanced, he didn't realise the suit was covered head to toe in a layer of ice. I bashed him on the head and he started to fall from the sky.

"You might want to look into that!" I yelled after him. I was pretty sure he couldn't hear me though.

As soon as I reached the ground I contacted Pepper. But that didn't last very long because I heard a clunck behind me. How on earth did the bastard survive that fall?

I was running on 2 percent and I had no idea what to do. I threw a few sparks in his face and hid. I needed a plan otherwise I was going todie.

I contacted Pepper. "Potts,"

"Tony!" She replied, at least she was listening.

"This isn't working, we're gonna have to over load the reactor and blow the roof" I whispered carefully.

"Well how are you going to do that?" She asked, she was so naiveIt was almost cute.

"Your gonna do it," I answered, I told her how to blow up the roof of my warehouse and set to work distracting the monster I used to think of as a friend until he decided to hurt my family and take my company for himself.

I threw my self at his neck and set to work pulling out wires and circuit boards that looked important. That is until he threw me off and into the glass roof.

He half came out of the suit. "You know I never had the pace for this sort of thing but you suit it quite well." He said, and people thought I was egotistical.

"You finally outdid yourself Tony, you made your father proud"

I rose to my feet. He was such and idiot. This was never about making my dead father proud, this was about proving to myself. To my daughter. That I could be better, that I didn't have to be a war monger or a killer, I could do good things too.

He shot the roof out from under me, if I didn't fall I would probably die in the blast from the roof.

"How ironic Tony. You try to rid the world of weapons and you give it its best one ever."

I wasn't listening anymore, he was just spewing crap.

"PEPPER" I yelled. "TIME TO HIT THE BUTTON"

"But you told me not to" she called back, we didn't have time for this. Obadiah was still trying (and failing) to kill me.

"PUSH IT"

She pushed the button and the reactor started to explode. I saw Obadiah get hit with the blast, aswell as it taking out half the electricity in the city, it had killed him.

The agent handed me some cards. "Here's your alibi, you were on your yacht, we've got sworn statements from 50 of your guests and 4 papers that say you weren't at stark industries when it happened."

I wasn't really listening. Orna was better now, she was recovering from aconcussion so they had asked she stay in the hospital but she was fine. I was just about to make a speech about why my company burst into flames and ultimately lie to the entire
nation.

"You've got 90 seconds, good luck."

It was only when I was reading the cards that I realised how stupid this alibi was. Maybe it's because I didn't like lying, maybe I just wanted to be seen as a hero. Hell maybe I had a concussion too but when she asked that question.

It had nothing to do with me being a superhero, it wasn't even implied but I panicked, it just slipped out. 4 words and I told all of America, all of the world what I least wanted them to hear.

"I am iron man"

In a hospital room, watching Tony Starks interview where he had just revealed his greatest secret.

Orna Stark slapped a hand to her forehead and sighed.

A/N: and that concludes iron man, next chapter I hope to jump straight into iron man 2 unless I get other inspiration, Orna probably won't do much in that movie so I'll try to get through it quickly and then get to avengers.

I really hope your enjoying the story as much as I enjoy writing it.

See you next chapter. And tell me what you think of this one. Xx
