Air base

Rhodey & Major Allen were dismantling the suit Rhodey took. "Think this is the power source?" Allen asked.

"Major, this is not a scientific exercise. Let's just focus on arming it, all right?" Rhodey said.

"Yes, sir," Allen said then Justin entered with someone pushed in a cart full of weapons as he was sucking a red lollipop.

"Oh, yes! Oh, yes, yes, yes. Is it my birthday? You got it. What did you do? What did you do? Is this what I think it is?" Justin asked.

"Yes it is. Hammer, I want to know what you're gonna do for us," Rhodey said.

"What am I going to do for you? Well, the first thing I'm gonna do for you is I'm gonna upgrade your software. And then, second, I think I should-" Justin started to say.

"That's not what I'm talking about. I'm talking about firepower," Rhodey said.

"Well, you're talking to the right guy," Justin said before he bit the lollipop. Then he began to show the weapons to Rhodey with introductions to each weapon but Rhodey seemed to be unimpressed with them all. "Claridge Hi-Tec, semi-automatic, 9mm pistol. Too downtown? I agree."

"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."

"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."

"You're looking at a Milkor 40mm grenade launcher. Tear gas, smoke. Hippie control. You're tough. Let me tell you something. Size does matter. Don't let anyone tell you different."

"This is an M134 7.62 Minigun. Six invidual barrels. The torso taker, powder maker. Our boys in uniform call in Uncle Gazpacho or Puff the Magic Dragon."

"Okay. These are the Cubans, baby. This is the Cohibas, the Montecristos. This is a kinetic-kill, side-winder vehicle with a secondary cyclotrimethlyenetrinitamine DX burst. It's 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's bafflingly beautiful. And it's capable of reducing the population of any standing structure to zero. I call it the Ex-Wife. That's the best I got. Are we gonna do this? Give me something here. You're like a sphinx. I can't read you," Justin explained but Rhodey still seemed all but not impressed.

"I think I'll take it," Rhodey said.

"Which one?" Justin asked.

"All of it," Rhodey said.

"All of it," Justin repeated to himself.

Tony's Lab

Tony & Emma looked through the box and there were a lot of blue prints for the arc reactor and newspaper articles. But Emma came across a film and picked it up before she looked at Tony, who was looking at the film she picked up.

They sat down in front of a projector as the video reeled while Tony was flicking through one of Howard Stark's notebooks. The video was Howard Stark practicing the video for the Expo. "Everything is achievable through technology. Better living, robust heath, and for the first time in human history, the possibility of world peace. I'm Howard Stark, and everything you'll need for the future can be found right here. City of the Future? City of Tomorrow? City of...I'm Howard Stark and everything you'll need in the future can be found right here. So, from all of us at Stark Industries, I would like to personally...Tony, what are you doing back there? What is that?" Howard asked as little Tony picked up one of the buildings up off the model behind Howard. Emma looked at Tony with a smirk.
