Outside of the Stark Industries Headquarters in Los Angeles, a black van parked in front. One man stepped out. He wore a black suit and dark sunglasses. Hanging from his side was a shoulder bag. He approached the front doors, where he showed them his security badge. This man was allowed entry into the building and some of its secure sections. Now on the inside, he walks into the private office that once belonged to the late Tony Stark.

He dials a contact on his phone. "I'm in."

On the other side of the line of Quinton Nathans, who was sitting on a couch in his housing facility. "Good. You'll need to access his hard drive and send the data back to me."

"Don't worry boss. I'm on it." He extracts a laptop and lays it on a table. From there, he gains access to the data he was seeking, the blueprints and specifications of the Iron Man armors.

"You might want to hurry, Abbott. The new Iron Man will receive an alert and be on the way."

Quinton was correct. The Tony Stark A.I. had sent Jonathan an alert. Once he was in his armor, he flew to Stark Industries Headquarters. He flew past security and rushed into the office. However, no one was inside.

"Tony, are you sure there was an intruder?" Jonathan asked.

"Yeah. A security guard entered several minutes ago and hasn't left yet. He's still in the room."

Jonathan looked around. There were six suits of armor in the office. What made them special was that they were Tony Stark's favorite out of all the armors. Even the Mark One, which Tony built to escape a terrorist cave, was in there. Eventually, he found a laptop shoulder under the office desk.

"What the..."

Before Jonathan could finish his thought, something grabbed him from behind and threw him through a wall. Once he got up, he saw that someone was in the stealth armor mark one, a completely black suit of armor with red lights.

"Hello, Iron Man." It said as it stomped toward him.

"Hi... whoever you are, thief."

"You can call me the Spymaster." He fired a repulsor at Jonathan, who dodged.

"I honestly could care less about who you are. All I care about is that you leave without taking anything."

"Try and stop me." He uses the stealth feature to vanish.

"Tony! Activate the thermal vision!" Once Jonathan could see heat signatures, he saw the one belonging to Spymaster. As the villain tried to lunge on him, Jonathan activated his unibeam. It launched Spymaster high into the sky. "Good riddance." He finds the laptop belonging to Spymaster and destroys it.

Meanwhile, at the secret housing of Quinton Nathan, a man entered and looked around. There seemed to be no one inside.

"Mister Nathans, this is Vincent Martinelli. Your father wants to have words with you." He checked the bedroom.

Suddenly, something grabbed him and threw him into the living room. It had been the robot butler, Mister Daniel. As Vincent slowly rose to his feet, he saw Quinton standing outside. He tried to get up and throw the young man back inside, but he was not fast enough. The security gate shut and Quinton watched him through its viewing window.

Vincent banged on the door. "Let me out!"

Quinton chuckled. "Oh Vincent. Dad will not be happy that you let me escape. You will be punished." He turns and walks away as Mister Daniels begins attacking Vincent, who screams in pain.
