Slow Day (War Machine/New Element)

United States Air Force Base

Both Major Allen and Rhodey are in one of the warehouses waiting for Justin Hammer. Justin is going to help the army to weaponize the Iron Man suit (Mark 2) that Rhodey brought back for military purposes. Once the task is complete, the government plans to present the suit to the public at the Stark's Expo.

While waiting for Justin Hammer's arrival, Rhodey removes the miniature arc reactor from the suit. Major Allen looked in awe at the bright blue miniature arc reactor saying "Think this is the power source?"

"Major, this is not a scientific exercise. Let's just focus on arming it, all right?" Rhodey replied feeling irritated by Major Allen's question.

"Yes, sir!" Major Allen replied back seriously.

At that moment, Justin strutted confidently towards them while sucking on a red lollipop and said "Oh, yes! Oh, yes! Yes! Yes! Is it my birthday? You got it" before moaning sadly at the state of the disassembled Iron Man suit "What did you do? What did you do to it?"

Rhodey ignored Hammer's questions and replied "Hammer, I just want to know what you are gonna do for us?"

Justin exclaimed as he confidently answered "What am I going to do for you? Well, the first thing I am gonna do for you is I am gonna upgrade your software. And then, second, I think I should..."

Rhodey quickly interrupted Justin saying "That's not what I am talking about! I am talking about firepower!".

Justin glanced at Rhodey and replied "Well, you are talking to the right guy" before biting the lollipop in his hand.

A short moment later, Justin stood in front of both Rhodey and Major Allen, and started introducing the weapons that he brought along with him.

Justin held up one of the weapons saying "Claridge Hi-Tec, semi-automatic, 9mm pistol. Too downtown? I agree" before putting down the weapon on the table

"M24 shotgun, pump action. Five-round magazine. You know what? You're not a hunter. What am I talking about? I'm getting rid of it" said Justin as he introduced another weapon but since he didn't have any response from both Rhodey and Major Allen, he put down the weapon on the table too.

Justin stroked another weapon lovingly saying "This is the FN-2000 from Belgium. They do make something better than waffles. It's beautiful, But I can tell this isn't disco enough for you, so I'm gonna put it right here" before putting it down too.

Justin proudly introduces another weapon "You are looking at a Milkor 40mm grenade launcher. Tear gas, smoke. Hippie control. You're tough" before putting it down feeling a little exasperated.

"Let me tell you something. Size does matter. Don't let anyone tell you different. This is an M134 7.62 Mini-gun. Six individual barrels. The torso taker, powder maker. Our boys in uniform call in Uncle Gazpacho or Puff the Magic Dragon" Justin explained as he swung the weapon from side to side before sadly saying "Okay!" as he put the weapon down.

"These are the Cubans, baby! This is the Cohibas! The Monte Cristos! This is a kinetic-kill, side-winder vehicle with a secondary cyclotrimethlyenetrinitamine DX burst. It is capable of busting the bunker under the bunker you just busted. If it were any smarter, it would write a book. A book that would make Ulysses look like it was written in crayon. It would read it to you. This is my Eiffel Tower. This is my Rachmaninoff's Third! My Pieta! It's completely elegant. It is bafflingly beautiful. And it's capable of reducing the population of any standing structure to zero. I call it the Ex-Wife!" Justin continued on anxiously.
