(Night Time)

In the ocean Tony Stark aka Iron Man is seen fixing a piece of metal as he was finished he shot himself out of the water as a curise ship was passing by him. Right now he is flying through the city.

Tony: Good to go on this end. The rest is up to you.

Pepper: You disconnected the transmission lines? Are we off the grid?

Tony: Stark Tower is about to become a beacon of self-sustaining clean energy.

Pepper: Well, assuming the arc reactor takes over an d it actually works.

Tony: I assume. Light her up.

As Tony was getting close to his tower it started to light up.

Pepper: How does it look?

Tony: Like Christmas, but with more me.

Pepper: We've got to go wider on the public awardness campaign. You need to do some press. I'm in D.C. tomorrow, I'm working on the zoning for the next three buildings. 

Tony: Pepper, you're killing me. The moment remember? Enjoy the moment.

Pepper: Get in here and I will.

Tony soon lands on top of his landing spot on his building as he was walking his armor started to come off him.

Jarvis: Sir, Agent Coulson of S.H.I.E.L.D. is on the line.

Tony: I'm not in. I'm actually out.

Jarvis: Sir, I;m afraid he's insisting.

Tony: Grow a spine, Jarvis. I got a date.

As his armor was fully off of him, Tony walks further inside as he walks in to see Pepper looking at the item he placed in the ocean.

Pepper: Levels are holding steady, I think.

Tony: Of course they are. I was directly involved. Which brings me to my next question. How does it feel to be a genius? *walks to Pepper*

Pepper: We'', I really wouldn't know, now would I?

Tony: What do you mean? All this came from you.

Pepper: No, all this came from that. *touches Tony's arc reactor*

Tony: Give yourself some credit. Please. Stark Tower is your baby. Give yourself 12% of the credit.

Pepper: 12%?

Tony: An argument can be made for 15.

Pepper: 12% My baby?

Tony: Well, I did do all the heavy lifting. Literally, I lifted the heavy things. And sorry, but the security snafu? That was on you.

Pepper: Oh. 

Tony: My private elevator....

Pepper: You mean our elevator?

Tony: It was teeming with sweaty workmen. I'm going to pay for that comment about percentages, in some subtle way later aren't I?

Pepper: It's not going to be that subtle.

Tony: I'll tell you what. The next building is gonna say 'Potts' on the tower.

Pepper: On the lease.

Tony: Call your mom. Can you buck over.

Jarvis: Sir, the telephone. I'm afraid my protocols are being overridden.

Coulson: Mr. Stark, we need to talk.

Tony soon sighed and reached for his phone.

Tony: You have reached the life model decoy of Tony Stark. Please leave a message.

Coulson: This is urgent.

Tony: Then leave it urgently.

Soon the elevator door revealed Coulson.

Tony: Security breach. It's on you.

Coulson: Mr. Stark.

Pepper: Phil! Come in.

Tony: 'Phil'?

Coulson: *walks inside* I can't stay.

Tony and Pepper walks to him.

Tony: His first name if 'Agent'. 

Pepper: Come on in. We're celebrating. 

Tony: Which is why he can't stay.

Coulson: We need you to look this over as soon as possible. *holds a base of files*

Tony: I don't like being handed things.

Pepper: That's fine because I love to be handed things. *takes the case from Coulson and gives it to Tony*

Tony: Official consulting hours are between eight and five every other Thursday.

Coulson: This isn;t a consultation.

Pepper: Is this about the Avengers? Which I know nothing about.

Tony: The Avengers Initiate was scrapped, I thought. And I didn't even qualify. *walks off*

Pepper: I didn't know that either.

Tony: Apparently I'm volatile self-obsessed, don't play well with others.

Pepper: That I did know.

Coulson: This isn;t about personality profiles anymore. 

Tony: Whatever. Ms. Potts, got a second?

Pepper soon walks towards where Tony is as he was putting in numbers.

Tony: You know, I though we were having a moment.

Pepper: I was haviung 12% of a moment. This seems serious. Phil's pretty shaken.

Tony: How would you know if it's...Why is he 'Phil'?

Pepper: What is all this?

Tony: This is this.

Tony soon pushed out some files up as it showed flies of Steve Rogers aka Captain America, Thor Odinson, Bruce Banner aka the Hulk, and finally Shadow Spider but there was barely information about him as Tony and Pepper looked at Coulson.

Tony: There isn't much information about this spider guy.

Coulson: He is quite the tricky one. He keeps himself hidden even for S.H.I.E.L.D. and we want you to find out who he is and recruit him.

Tony: Always give me some work to do huh.

(A Few Hours Later)

After Pepper and Coulson was gone Tony was working on to figure out who Shadow Spider was and after a few tries he had finally found out who he is.

Tony: Evander Axe. Jarvis tell me more about him.

Jarvis: Evander Axe was born in Ireland before moving to London and to New York. A year prior he was bitten by an radioactive spider that cause him to have his powers. Later on the year he had fought a super villain by the name of Red Death and the result his father was killed during the fight. As of now he is still currently being Shadow Spider as he busted robbery prior today.

Tony: Show me what he can do.

Jarvis pulled up some video footage of Evander taking down criminals and saving civilians from danger.

Tony: You got some gut kid....Time to visit him. Jarvis tell me his address.

Jarvis: Of course sir.
