Tony's POV

They slide the bag off of my head and they pull me into a dark cave. I hurriedly look around my surroundings. My eyes burn and I can't seem to breathe. My fingers grip into the cave's ground as I try to get the air into my lungs. I crawl around the cave's floor, bumping into the nearby objects in search of something that will help me as I continue gasping for air. My fingers capture onto a brown paper bag and yank it towards me. My breathing keeps picking up too fast of a rate and I can feel my head getting dizzy.

Third Person's POV

Tony wakes up suddenly with a tube up his nose, laying on a cot in a cave. He rips out the tube and tries to pick up a cup on the table beside him, but fails. He notices a man shaving and tries to reach further but is stopped by wires.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you." The man scolds Tony, for trying to rip off the tube.

"What am I connected to?" Tony asked the man.

"You are connected to a car battery, because you have that into your chest to keep you alive." The man explained, to Tony.

"Who are you?" Tony asked the man.

"Yinsen I am a fellow prisoner, also." Yinsen explained.

"What the hell did you do to me?" Tony asked Yinsen.

"What I did? What I did is to save your life. I removed all the sharpnel I could, but there's a lot left, and its headed into your atrial septum. Here want to see?" Yinsen pulls out a bottle of sharpnel. "I have a souvenir. Take a look." Yinsen tosses the bottle to Tony who catches the bottle. "I've seen many wounds like that in my village. We call them the 'walking dead' because it takes about a week for the barbs to reach your vital organs." The man explains to Tony, who is nodding his head as of understanding what Yinsen is saying.

"What is this?" Tony asks Yinsen.

"That is an electromagnet hooked up to a car battery, and its keeping the sharpnel from entering your heart. Hmm?" Yinsen said watching Tony slip up the jacket he's wearing and looks at the camera on the ceiling. "That's right. Smile. We met once, you know, at a technical conference in Bern, about 9 years back. Though it will probably be no shock of you remembering it." Yinsen said to Tony who slowly nodded his head. He got the letter from his back pocket it wad wadded up in a ball he smiles sadly. A million thoughts are spiraling into his head. How is Macy doing? Is she okay? Does she miss him? Will she be happy 'if', he makes it out alive? How is she feeling?

"I don't remember." Tony said blankly then looking back at the letter.

"No. You wouldn't. If I had been that drunk. I wouldn't have been able to stand, much less give a lecture of integrated circuits."

"Where are we?" Tony asked.

Yinsen and Tony heard noises and they got up from where they were standing.

"Come on, stand up. Stand up! Just do as I do. Come on, out your hands up." Yinsen ordered Tony, and he did ad he was told.

"Do you understand me? Do as I do." [A man starts speaking in Arabic.] Yinsen translates for him. Yinsen says, "Welcome Tony Stark, the most famous mass murderer 'in the history of America'. The man speaks in Arabic. "He is honored." [Man speaks in Arabic]. "He wants you to build the missle. [Man speaks in Arabic.] "The Jericho missle that you demonstrated." [Man speaks in Arabic, handing Yinsen a picture of the Jericho missle.] "This one."
