Golf Course somewhere in New York

(Thursday afternoon)

POV : Justin Hammer

Justin is on the phone and said "Hey Ivan. I got Senator Stern here. Thought we would swing over and look at some of the drone designs before tomorrow unveiling at Stark Expo"

"The drone is not going to be ready" Ivan replied seemingly distracted.

"Not ready? What do you mean not ready?" Justin asked back in frustration.

Ivan answered "I can make presentations, not demonstrations".

After walking slightly further away from Senator Stern's earshot, Justin asked "What the hell is the difference?"

"Presentation. No fly. No shoot" Ivan lazily replied.

"Wait, wait, wait! Wait, wait, wait! What can you make them do? I mean, this is a weapons demonstration" Justin said anxiously.

Ivan without any worries said "I can make salutes".

"You can make salute? What do you mean "make salute"? What the hell does that mean Ivan? This is not what we agreed to, okay? You promised me suits and then you promised me drones" Justin hissed back on the phone.

"Everything will be okay" Ivan casually replied.

"This is not what I wanted" Justin said feeling exasperated but before he could continue Ivan cut the phone line.

Justin stared angrily at his phone before snapping his finger as he called his assistant to approach him.

"Get the men to lock Ivan in his room. I will be there later to teach him who is boss" Justin whispered to his assistant.

Tony Stark's Mansion

Tony having successfully created a new element for his new arc reactor is deep in thought wondering how to fix his relationship with Pepper while Jarvis is still running diagnostic on the replacement miniature arc reactor. Feeling slightly depressed, Tony has been distracting himself by making changes to his Ironman suit.

Jarvis interrupted him by saying "There is a guest inside the building waiting for you".

"Who is it, Jarvis? Didn't I tell you not to let anyone in!" Tony replied feeling annoyed.

"It is Nightwing, Sir. He avoided all the mansion's security measures. Currently he is in the living room and he requested me to inform you that he needs to discuss something with you. I advice to upgrade the mansion's securities, Sir" Jarvis answered.

Tony stood in silence thinking for a long time before saying "Lead him into the workshop".

"Very well, Sir" Jarvis replied.

...

As I entered Tony's workshop, Tony said "Can either you or Fury, knock the front door like a normal person? Do you guys like to break into houses or something?"

"Congratulations, Tony. Looks like you have created a new element" I replied while ignoring his questions.

Tony was annoyed but after taking a deep breath, Tony calmly said "Why are you here? Don't tell me you are here to get your split of the profit".

"I have no interest in your money" I replied as I leaned against the wall.

"You want me a miniature arc reactor for yourself?" Tony quickly asked.

"No need. Just treat it as a friendly gift for you" I replied as I casually waved my hand.

"If not for any of those reasons, why are you here?" Tony questions as he leans back in his chair.
