I am a STARK [1]

Tony Stark

"What the hell did you do to me?"

"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, want to see?" Yinsen pulls out a bottle of shrapnel. " I have a souvenir. Take a look." He tosses the bottle to Tony. " 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 the vital organs."

"What is this?"

"That is an electromagnet, hooked up to a car battery, and it's keeping the shrapnel from entering your heart. Hmm?"

Tony zips 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."

"I don't remember."

"No, you wouldn't. 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?"

Loud voices could be heard from the other side of the metal door where a skilled  young girl hid in-between the shadows of the other men, ready to start her mission.

The men open the door and enter.

"Come on, stand up. Stand up! Just do as I do. Come on, put your hands up."  Yinsen instructs Tony.

The men walk in with guns at the ready. While the men distracted both of the prisoners the girl made her way into a corner of the cave were she would remain hidden memorising how Tony Stark build the missel they will ask him to make.

"Those are my guns. How did they get my guns?"  Tony asked, seeing the guns the men were holding.

"Do you understand me? Do as I do."

 A man starts speaking in Arabic. Yinsen translates for him.

" He says, 'Welcome, Tony Stark, the most famous mass murderer in the history of America' ." the man continues speaking in Arabic.

" He is honored. He wants you to build the missile.The Jericho missile that you demonstrated." the man hands Yinsen a picture of the Jericho missile so he can show it to Tony.  " This one."

Tony stays silent for a moment contemplating on weather or not to do it.

" I refuse. "

After that Tony is taken somewhere else where they would torture him into saying yes. The girl remained hidden waiting for her task to start.

•ISABEL POV•

I stayed in my hiding spot waiting for the men who hired me to bring back Tony Stark, but it was taking forever.

I was starting to doze off when I heard the door of the cave opening. I sat up straight crouching down behind some boxes and tarps looking at the two men who entered. Yinsen and Tony Stark. They kept quite most of the time only talking here and there. I ignored most of it, but something Yinsen said caught my attention.

" 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? Is this the last act of defiance of the great Tony Stark? Or are you going to do something about it?"

"Why should I do anything? They're going to kill me, you, either way. And if they don't, I'll probably be dead in a week." I had read all about Tony Stark, I knew everything there was to know about him. I read about how arrogant and cocky the man was, how intelligent and bright he is, but what I'm seeing right now looked nothing like the man I studied. This was a broken down loser, not a big brain CEO.

"Well, then, this is a very important week for you, isn't it?"

After that they stayed silent and went to sleep. I stayed up for a little while longer due to a weird itch I felt in my ankle. I ignored it the best I could and soon enough I was sleeping to
