(OCEAN, NEW YORK CITY)

 IRON MAN aka Tony Stark, is underwater. He attaches a device to a massive pipe. He flies up out of the water and towards the city and begins talking with PEPPER POTTS. 

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

PEPPER: (V.O)(over Iron Man headset)You disconnected the transmission lines? Are we off the grid? 

INSIDE IRON MAN HEADSET: 

TONY: (into headset)Stark Tower's about to become a beacon of self-sustaining clean energy. 

PEPPER: (on Iron Man HUD display)Well, assuming the arc reactortakes over and it actually works. 

(STREETS OF MIDTOWN MANHATTAN)

Iron Man peels around a corner, heading straight for STARKTOWER. 

TONY: (V.O)I assume. Light her up.Stark Tower lights up. 

PEPPER: (V.O)(over Iron Man headset)How does it look? 

(STARK TOWER)

TONY: (V.O)(over Iron Man headset)Like Christmas...

 INSIDE IRON MAN HEADSET: 

TONY: (into headset)...but with more- me.

"Wow Tony, narcissistic much." Raisa said in a joking tone. 

"Always, kid. You know me" Tony responded with a smirk on his face. 

"Unfortunately" she muttered in response. 

"Hey!" 

PEPPER: (on Iron Man HUD display)We've got to go wider on the public awareness campaign. You need to do some press. 

Iron Man flies over a overpass & up the side of Stark Tower. 

PEPPER: (V.O)(over Iron Man headset)I'm in DC tomorrow. I'm working onthe zoning for the next three buildings. 

TONY: (V.O)(over Iron Man headset)Pepper, you're killing me at the moment. Remember, enjoy the moment. 

(STARK TOWER LANDING PAD)

PEPPER: (V.O)(over Iron Man headset)Then get in here and I will. 

Iron Man lands on the landing pad of the tower and walks along a walkway, robotic arms deconstructing his armour. 

JARVIS: Sir, Agent Coulson of SHIELD 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.

 (PENTHOUSE, STARK TOWER) 

Pepper stands in front of a holographic display, a littleconfused. 

PEPPER: Levels are holding steady- I think. 

Tony approaches Pepper. 

TONY: Of course they are, I was directly involved. Which leads me to my next question. How does it feel to be a genius? 

Tony turns off the display and Pepper and he face each other. 

PEPPER: Well, ah, 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. 

Pepper taps Tony's arc reactor.
