"Right, Liyah, watch the stats and numbers, DUM-E you're on fire safety." said Tony, he eyed DUM-E disparagingly, not trusting him.

Aaliyah laughed.

"Alright, Liyah, activate hand controls. We're gonna start off nice and easy. We're gonna see if 10% thrust capacity achieves lift. And three, two, one." said Tony.

Aaliyah just listened pushing her concerns to the back of her mind, the next thing she knew, Tony immediately flings back and hits the upper wall. DUM-E uses the fire extinguisher on him, Aaliyah couldn't help it, she burst out laughing.

Later, Aaliyah goes upstairs and Tony is then seen working on flight stabilizers for his hands/arms. While he's working, Pepper comes in with a wrapped box and a cup of something.

"I've been buzzing you. Did you hear the intercom?" Pepper asked.

"Yeah, everything's... What?" Tony asked, still distracted by the flight stabilisers.

"Obadiah's upstairs, Ali's gone to bed, it's been a long day." said Pepper.

"Great." Tony drawled sarcastically.

"What do you want me to tell him?" Pepper asked.

"Great. Tell him I'll be up." said Tony.

"I thought you and Ali, we're done making weapons." Pepper comments.

"We are, this is just a flight stabiliser, Liyah's gonna do hers tomorrow, also idea was Liyah's just don't tell her, I don't want her ego being the size of mine other wise she'll have to be renamed Antonia Stark. What's that?" Tony asked gesturing to the box in Pepper's hand.

"Just something Ali told me to do." said Pepper.

Tony frowned curiously but walked upstairs and saw Obadiah on the piano.

"Get of Dalia and Mom's piano." Tony said coldly.

Obadiah stopped playing the piano.

"So how'd it go?" Tony asked before seeing the pizza, "that bad huh?"

"Just because I bought pizza back from New York doesn't mean that it went bad," Obadiah stood up from the piano, the house falling into silence once again as he walked toward Tony who was stuffing his face with pizza. "Would've gone better if you were there."

"Uh, no. You told me to lay low, so that's what I'm doing." said Tony.

"This was a board of directors meeting." Obadiah said.

"This was a board of directors meeting?" Tony asked, his eye widen in surprise.

"The board is claiming you have post-traumatic stress. They're filing an injunction against you." said Obadiah.

"A what?" Tony asked.

"They want to lock you out." said Obadiah.

"Because the stocks dipped 40 points? We knew that was going to happen." said Tony.
