Ever since Y/N had helped Tony change his arc reactor, he had been at work on something new. Y/N and Pepper would go down to his shop and occasionally check on him or give him something but other than that, they rarely saw Tony.

Y/N had something to give something to Tony so she walked down to his shop since he didn't respond to the intercom buzzing. Putting in the code she entered "I've buzzed you multiple times. Didn't you hear the intercom?" Y/N says. "Yeah, everything's... What?" Tony responds."Obadiah's upstairs with Pepper." Y/N tells him. "Great!" Tony says.

"What would you want us to tell him?"

"Great. I'll be right up. Okay." Tony replies testing out something new of his. "I thought you said you were done making weapons." Y/N spoke walking over to Tony. "It is. This is a flight stabilizer. It's completely harmless." Tony says and a blast made him go flying backwards. Y/N jumps "I didn't expect that." Tony exclaimed as he lied on the floor.

After a while Tony goes upstairs with Y/N, Pepper and Obadiah. Y/N and Pepper sat on the couch and Obadiah was playing the piano.

"How'd it go?" Tony asks Obadiah. "It went that bad, huh?" Tony says noticing the pizza.

"Just because I brought pizza back from New York doesn't mean it went bad." Obadiah says.

"Uh-huh. Sure doesn't. Oh, boy." Tony gets a piece of pizza out of the box. "Would have gone better if you were there." Obadiah tells him.

"Uh-uh. You told me to lay low. That's what I've been doing. I lay low, and you take care of all..." Tony says. "Hey, come on. In public. The press. This was a board of directors meeting." Obadiah walks over and sits near Tony.

"This was a board of directors meeting?"

"The board is claiming you have post traumatic stress. They're filing an injunction." Obadiah says.

"A what?"

"They want to lock you out."

"Why? Cause the stocks dipped 40 points? We knew that was gonna happen." Tony says.

"Fifty six and a half." Pepper spoke. "It doesn't matter. We own the controlling interest in the company." Tony inputs.

"Tony, the board has rights, too. They're making the case that you and your new direction isn't in the company's best interest." Obadiah explains. "I'm being responsible! That's a new direction me, for the company. I mean, me on the company's behalf for the way that..." Tony says looking back at Y/N and Pepper who were now looking at him.

"This is great." Tony stands.

"Oh, come on. Tony. Tony." Obadiah says.

"I'll be in the shop." He says taking the pizza with him. "Hey, hey! Hey, Tony. Listen. I'm trying to turn this thing around, but you gotta give me something. Something to pitch them. Let me have the engineers analyze that. You know, draw up some specs." Obadiah says.

"No. No, absolutely not."

"It'll give me a bone to throw the boys in New York!"

"This one stays with me. That's it Obie. Forget it." Tony tells him. "All right, well, this stays with me, then." Obadiah says referring to the pizza box. "Go on, here, you can have a piece. Take two."

"Thank you."

"You mind if I come down there and see what you're doing?"

"Good night, Obie." Tony responds going downstairs. After Tony goes down Y/N decides that she needed to get some sleep after Obadiah and Pepper had left not too long ago.
