Iron Man: Reforged Season 01 Episode 05

We see that Tony had been workig on something using a torch and some pliars when Rhodey had come in with his backpack on, along with Tony's backpack too. "Here's a thought for you, ever tried sleeping? It's something normal people do at night."

"Lost me at Normal." Tony then answered back and went back to using the torch to work on whatever he'd been working with as Rhodey walked on closer to them.

"Another suit, really?" His friend questioned w seeing that this one was red and silver sporting a slightly different design to the Mk-I armor.

"Gotta keep up, you've seen what I've been going up against. Gotta put a stop to Stane weaponizing my dad's company and be able to handle Unicorn or Killer Shrike, those guys are common thugs meaning they're either working for or with either aliens or someone very smart is providing their tech." Tony stated in response about what he was doing and why.

"Ya well you need to get out of this lab." Rhodey then stated back while tossing Tony his backpack. "We're going to be late for school again if you don't hurry it up. Oh and Pepper called, she said that she's been trying to reach you all night."

Tony then checked out his phone device and saw that there was 47 new messages and sighed. We then cut to the two of them at school where Tony had installed a mini drink dispenser in his locker which annoyed Rhodey that Tony had done that, and when he'd shut his locker Pepper had been standing there where the door had just been.

"Tony, where have you been, didn't you get my messages, did you screen me, oh can I have a drink of that?" She'd then questioned all in one breath.

"Slow down Pepper, use fewer words. Now what's the problem?" Tony then told her in response.

"Oh, worried.. about.. my dad." Pepper then answered back about what's bothering her. "He's been weird about this case he's working on, and he's never been so cautious about a case before. Something big is up and I'm worried somthing might have happened because he didn't come home at all."

"So you think something might have happened to him?" Rhodey then asnwered back about what she'd just said. "Couldn't it have just been an overnight stakeout?"

"Dad said he'd be home late but he didn't show up at all. At the very least he'd text me to say the case was running long so he'd have to be away for a few days." She explained to them about why she's jumpy at the moment.

"Pepper Potts?" A man with white hair and a buisness suit spoke walking over to them wanting to speak with them as the three turned to see what was going on.

"Uh, yes?" Pepper then questioned looking at the guy in confusion about what he might want with her all of a sudden.

"Please come with me, it's about your dad." The man explained taking Pepper away with him so that she could find out what happened.

"That guy just came out of nowhere, you believe that Tony.. Tony?" Rhodey spoke before turning to see that his friend had also disappeared on him. "Oh son of a.."

Later on we see Iron Man traveling through the city as he was talking over the communications device built into the suit with Rhodey. "I hacked into the Ambulance systems and I'm headed to where they picked up Pepper's dad."

"Ya, and my mom is gonna flip out if you keep doing this." His friend then answered back about Tony possibly ending up in a lot of trouble. "Oh, Pepper's calling. You should probably actually pick up this time."

"You're right, I'm rerouting it through the Armory now." Iron Man answered back and connected to the call. "Pepper? I'm on threeway call with Rhodey, what's going on?" He'd questioned why she was calling.

"Tony, in the city. Running, Guns!" Pepper spoke frantically into her phone while continuing to run down an alleyway to escape from the people chasing after her.

""What!?"" Both of the guys spoke up at the same time surprised with our Armored hero then questioning "Okay, this time more words. What's going on?"

"My dad was investigating a guy called Mister Fix. Some kind of uh.. inventor or something. He's a high-tech arms dealer and supplies guys like the Maggia, y'know Unicorn and Shrike. All I did was type his name into my dad's computer and now I've got black opps guys chasing me!" She'd responded while still freaking out but trying to control herself regardless.

"Rhodey, I'm patching the location of Pepper's cell over to you. You'll have to buy her some time until I can get over there." Our Genius then stated patching Rhodey into the system so he could help her out.

"Pepper, it's Rhodey. Head down Fourty Third Street, then cut through the alley. The Van won't be able to follow." He'd spoken as she'd followed the instructions and the guys got out and started shooting at her while she was continuing to run trying to avoid them. "Cut through the building, it'll take you over to Fourty Second Street."

She'd done as her friend instructed and the Van began to chase her again, however Iron Man had shown up and knocked it over making it flip completely upside down while another Van had pulled up and began to shoot at her as Iron Man got between them and put up a barrier.

"Get to Rhodey's house, you'll be safe there." Iron Man told her giving Pepper the chance to escape as he'd then blasted the van and the guys with the Repulsors from his hand knocking that second van over completely upside down as well when the computer warned that someone was hacking into the coms. "Shut it down NOW!" He'd called over to Rhodey who disconnected.

"Right, disconnecting now!" Rhodey then answered back cutting out the connection trying to stop whoever was tapping into the system.

Another Van had chased after Pepper and some guys started to shoot at her while Iron Man had then flown over and grabbed her before flying off to get her to safety surprising her that he'd just grabbed and escaped. "You're gonna be okay now Pep.. uh.. ma'm."

"Thanks.. Tony." Pepper spoke while holding onto him as they were flying through the sky to put distance between her and the guys that were shooting at her.

The Armored hero then opened up his mask questioning "How long have you known exactly?"

"Educated guess, you're the only one who always ditches before Iron Man shows up, and you're always always finding any excuse to get out of school. It wasn't hard to put two and two together." She'd answered back about figuring it out.

"I'll take you to Rhodey's house, you should be safe there." Tony then stated before closing his faceplate so no one else could have seen him without the face covering.

Pepper had ran into the house and found Rhodey tied up by someone using metal whips that came from their arm as they spoke to them "Hello Pepper, you look just like your dad." He'd stated throwing Rhodey over towards her.

"Mister Fix?" She'd questioned if that was the guy they were talking to right now while helping her friend stand up.

"Not quite, Mister Fix made my arms for me and now I'm.. working off my debt. Doing odd jobs here and there like, shutting up nosey teenage girls." They then spoke as the whips came out but this time they were glowing with some sort of energy.

Pepper's phone began to beep and she looked at it stating "Ooh, sorry I have to get this one sec. Hello?"

"Pepper, duck." Tony's voice came through the other end of the line and she'd grabbed Rhodey and hit the floor as Iron Man then came ramming through the door and slamming this guy with the whips through the wall behind them crashing through outside the builing and then letting the guy drop from the air. "So what do they call you?"

"They call me Whiplash, Fix though he might run into you one day so he made.. me." The guy then responded telling them his name.

"Really?" Iron Man then responds hearing that before adding "I'm flattered." as Whiplash then sent out his energy whips at them and grabbed him by the neck area of the suit and slammed them onto the ground in front of them leaving him out cold.

"Disappointing." Whiplash stated before noticing Pepper and Rhodey were still there and stated "I didn't realize your dad was still alive, if I had I would have finished the job. Now maybe you two can help cheer me up." to them before sending his wips at them. "Run, it's more fun that way."

They'd ran trying to escape with Rhodey throwing an old bubble monitor at him distracting Whiplash as Pepper had ran back to the Iron Man suit only to find it empty and was caught by surprise freaking out. However, a second suit appered and grabbed Whiplash's energy chain before pulling them up to him and punching them back down into the ground with the two then beginning to fight.

"Okay, now I'm confused." Pepper then stated looking at the empty armor and then back over at iron Man fighting against Whiplash.

Whiplash had managed to get the upper hand but Iron Man blasted them with the Unibeam on his chest and shot them onto some of the live electrical equipment in the nearby power plant causing it to blow and seemingly taking Whiplash with it while Iron man was knocked backwards. The only thing left was part of the chain whip which had still been glowing but slowly faded.

Later on Rhodey was talking to Tony about everything that happend with him stating "Pepper's dad woke up, the police took her to see him. You think Fix will send Whiplash after them again?"

"Nah, the trail's gone cold. They aren't a threat to him anymore, though Iron Man is and he's probably working on a hundred new weapons to take them down unless I find a way to stop him." Tony answered back about Fix.

"You mean we." Pepper then stated walking into the room joining int on the conversation. "I can't believe you nerds didn't trust me, I'm crazy trustworthy. I could have been helping you guys fight crime weeks ago. Ooh, we should be fighting Crime right now."

"I've tried to tell you a million times, but you wouldn't stop talking long enough to let me." Tony then stated in response.
