Y/N and Pepper exit the elevator "What are we here for again?" Pepper asks. "Shipping manifests. Or at least that's what Tony told me." Y/N responds as they both approach Tony's office and enter.

Walking over to the computer Y/N sits down and accesses it as Pepper looks over her shoulder. Putting the lock chip into the computer. There was a security breach before Y/N gained access to the ghost file. Looking through the files Y/N finds a file that read 'sector 16.' She looks back at Pepper who was looking at her.

"Sector 16? What are you up to, Obadiah?" Y/N says. Clicking on another file she finds a video of people speaking in Urdu language as they point guns at the person who was held hostage.

As the person gets unsacked the person was revealed to be Tony. Y/N's mouth agape's along with Pepper. This time Pepper types in translate into the computer.

You did not tell us that the target you paid us to kill was the great Tony Stark. As you can see, Obadiah Stane....

"Oh my god." Pepper gasps. Y/N was so pissed that Obadiah would do something like this.

.....your deception and lies will cost you dearly. The price to kill Tony Stark has gone up.

Y/N gets a copy of the ghost file "So, what are we going to do about this?" Obadiah spoke startling both Y/N and Pepper. "Hmm? I know what you two are going through." he says as the file continues to get uploaded to the lock chip.

Obadiah picks the glass of alcohol on the table "Tony. He always gets the good stuff, doesn't he?" Pepper nods as she forces out a chuckle while Y/N sends him a death stare while using the newspaper to cover up the lock chip.

Inconspicuously Y/N goes back to the screen saver as Obadiah walked over to the two of them. "I was so happy when he came home. It was like we got him back from the dead. Now I realize, well, Tony never really did come home, did he? He left a part of himself in that cave. Breaks my heart." Obadiah says.

"Well, he's a complicated person." Pepper says and Obadiah looks up at her. "He's been through a lot. I think he'll be all right." Pepper continues. "You two are very rare women." Pepper smiles and Y/N sends him a fake one.

"Tony doesn't know how lucky he is." Obadiah continued. Pepper chuckles "Thank you. Thanks. We better get back there." Pepper says and this time she grabs the newspaper and the lock chip. Just as Y/N and Pepper were about to leave Obadiah spoke "Is that today's paper?"

"Mhm." Y/N responded. "Do you mind?" Obadiah walks over and grabs the paper from Pepper. "Not at all."

"Puzzle."

"Of course." Pepper and Y/N leave. "Take care." Obadiah called out as they both. Pepper grips the lock chip as they head to elevator.

As Y/N and Pepper walk down the stairs they run into Phil. "Miss L/N, Miss Potts. We had an appointment. Did you forget about our appointment?" Phil says. "Nope, it's right now actually. Come with us." Y/N stated as they walked past him.

"Right now?"

"Yep, right now." Pepper says.

"Walk with us." Y/N told him.

"Okay." Phil responded.

"We're going to give you the meeting of your life. Your office." Pepper says.

Later as Tony walks into the living room the phone rings after finding it on the couch he looks at and sees that Y/N was calling. He answers the phone and Y/N's voice sounds just as he picks up a high pitched buzzing sound was heard and he goes pale. "Tony?"

"Hey, Tony, are you there? Hello?" The phone gets snatched out of his hand. "Breathe." Obadiah says after putting Tony under a paralysis. "Easy, easy. You remember this one, right? It's a shame the government didn't approve of it. There's so many applications for causing short-term paralysis. Ah, Tony. When I ordered the hit on you, I was worried that I was killing the golden goose." Obadiah says as he starts to remove Tony's reactor.

"But, you see, it was just fate that you survived that. You had one last golden egg to give. Do you really think that just because you have an idea, it belongs to you? Your father, he helped give us the atomic bomb. Now, what kind of world would it be today if he was as selfish as you?" Obadiah pulls out the reactor and holds it in his hand.

"Oh, it's beautiful. Oh, Tony, this your Ninth Symphony. Ah. What a masterpiece. Look at that. This is your legacy. A new generation of weapons with this at its heart. Weapons that will help steer the world back on course, put the balance of power in our hands. The right hands. I wish you could see my prototype. It's not as... Well, not as conservative as yours.

Too bad you had to involve Y/N and Pepper in this. I would have preferred that they both lived." Obadiah says putting the reactor in the briefcase and leaving.

Y/N was on the phone with Rhodey as she and Pepper followed by Coulson and a few SHIELD agents walked out of SHIELD headquarters. "What do you mean, he paid to have Tony killed?" James spoke from other end of the line "Yeah, James, I saw the video and Pepper did too." Y/N spoke quickly. "Y/N, slow down. Why would Obadiah... Okay, where's Tony now?" Rhodey questioned.

"I don't know. And he's not answering his phone. Please just make sure you go over there and make sure everything's all right. Thanks James." Y/N say's hanging up.
