Tony walked over to his couch in his living room, searching for his cell phone that rang out through the room. He found it underneath a pillow sat down on the couch, seeing the person calling him was Aaliyah. He answered the phone, but before he could say anything, his eyes widening as a different ringing could be heard.
"Tony? Tony, are you there? Hello?" Aaliyah asked over the phone.
"Breathe. Easy, easy. You remember this one, right? It's a shame the government didn't approve it. There's so many applications for causing short-term paralysis. Tony. When I ordered the hit on you, I worried that I was killing the golden goose. But, you see, it was just fate that you survived that."
Obadiah pulled the arc reactor out of his chest.
"You had one last golden egg to give. Do you really think that just because you have an idea, it belongs to you? Your father, he helped give us the atomic bomb. Now, what kind of world would it be today if he was as selfish as you?" Obadiah asked.
He looked at the arc reactor.
"Oh, it's beautiful. Tony, this is your Ninth Symphony. What a masterpiece. Look at that. This is your legacy. A new generation of weapons with this at its heart. Weapons that will help steer the world back on course, put the balance of power in our hands. The right hands. I wish you could've seen my prototype. It's not as... Well, not as conservative as yours. Too bad you had to involve Pepper and Aaliyah in this. I would have preferred that they lived." said Obadiah.

Tony slammed into the side of his lift as he struggled to keep himself up. The lift opened back up as he stumbled to the door to his garage. He pushed them open and spotted his first arc reactor in the glass casing sitting on his worktable. However, he was unable to keep himself on his feet and fell forward, having to crawl the rest of the way. Once he reached it, he grabbed a nearby bin full of tools to try to boost him up closer to the reactor, but he ended up pushing it further away from him. DUM-E grabs the arc reactor for Tony.
"Good boy." said Tony, taking the old reactor off of DUM-E.

"Section 16, section 16." muttered Aaliyah as she looked at each door.
"Here it is." said Aaliyah, she tried her key, "my key's not working. It's not opening the door." she said, Pepper tried her key, it didn't work either.
Coulson brings out a small device, Pepper looks in awe.
"Oh, wow! What's that? It's, like, a little device. It's, like, a thing that's going to pick the lock?" Pepper asked.
"You might want to take a step back." Coulson warned.
Pepper and Aaliyah followed his instructions and he followed behind the two. Pepper turned away and covered her ears, waiting for the explosion while all the agents and Aaliyah just stood there.
