Luna heard Tony groan in pain. She turned to see him pulling out the tubes that had been stuck down his throat. She saw him pulling at the wires in his chest. "I wouldn't do that if I were you." Luna turned to see Yinsen still shaving his beard. Tony's eyes followed the wire to see that he was hooked up to a car battery, he removed his bandages to see his electromagnet.
"What have you done to me?"
"What did we do? We removed what we could, but there's a lot left headed for your atrial septum. Do you want a souvenir?" Yinsen tossed Tony the shrapnel that Luna and Yinsen removed from his chest. Tony looked at it in disgust.
"Tony, we did what we could to keep you alive in this god forsaken place." Tony turned to realize that Luna was there with him. Tony ran over to Luna and hugged her tightly.
"You saved me, Luna?"
"Of course I did. I'm not exactly helpless you know."
"How are you not hurt? You were right next to me when the bomb went off? I was worried about you Luna. I... I thought I lost you."
"Tony you will never lose me I promise." Tony and Yinsen made small talk all day until their captors burst into their "cell". Luna looked this man up and down and she knew that he was not the person who wanted her dead. Yinsen translated for Tony since he knew that Luna understood Arabic.
"He says welcome Tony and Luna Stark, the greatest mass murders in the history of America. He is very honored." Abu showed Tony a picture of Luna'a Jericho. "He wants you to build the Jericho." Tony and Luna both replied.
"I refuse." Yinsen started yelling at Tony about Abu. During this Luna began to notice Abu and his men looking at her with a strange look. After this interaction, Abu left leaving Yinsen, Tony and Luna to their owns devices.

Luna woke to find herself kidnapped, again. Her bag was removed to see a blinding light. She saw that Tony was with her and they were looking outside at their base. Yinsen was talking to Tony about what Abu was saying. Luna was walking around with the men behind her. She was silent because she saw all of her hard work and dedication in the hands of her enemy. When they went back inside Luna had an idea. "Tony! I know how you can survive the shrapnel heading to your heart. You can build a miniaturized arc reactor! It would keep the magnet working for many years."
"Luna that's genius! We're going to need those weapons." Yinsen was telling all of the men exactly what the Starks needed for the "Jericho". They began immediately trying to get the arc reactor ready.
"What is that?"
"This is a miniaturized arc reactor that will keep the shrapnel from entering my heart."
"Wow, what an original idea."
"Well, this one will last longer than a week."
"That can run your heart for 50 lifetimes..."
"Or something big for 15 minutes." Yinsen and Tony looked at each other with the same plan going through their heads.
"You guys do know that they are watching us, night as well tell them our entire plan of how to get out of here." Tony looked at Luna and his face dropped. "If you're wondering how I'm going to get out of here because I don't have an arc reactor, I promise I can take care of myself. I've been training for a while to handle things like this."
"Luna, didn't you tell me that you can teleport while your brother was sleeping?"
"YOU CAN TELEPORT?!"
"Tony I told you this, that's why I leave all the time is so I can handle my......" Luna lowered her voice. "Powers."
"You're telling means that you could have left this hell hole the entire time?"
"I can only teleport, which means I would have to leave you. I didn't want to leave you, so I never left. We're going to build something that will allow the three of us to leave here with our lives."
"Come here I have a plan." Tony walked over to his station and he picked up servers plans and placed them together. When they aligned up Luna saw it, an iron man suit.
"Let's do this."
