"Head up. You got one more drone incoming. This one looks different," Natasha said on speaker to Tony & Rhodey. "The repulsor signature is significantly higher," she warned then the drone landed, and the helmet slide open to reveal Ivan.

"Good to be back," he said.

"This ain't gonna be good," Rhodey said then Ivan's whips turned on. "I got something special for this guy. I'm gonna bust his bunker with the Ex-Wife," he continued.

"With the what?" Tony asked then Rhodey shot the Ex-Wife and it bounced off of Ivan, landing in the water, as it fizzled off. "Hammer tech?" Tony asked.

"Yeah," Rhodey said.

"I got this," Tony said but then they started to fight which ended up with both Tony & Rhodey held onto by Ivan's whips. "Rhodes. I got an idea. You want to be a hero?" Tony asked.

"What?" Rhodey asked.

"I could really use a sidekick. Put your hand up," Tony said.

"This is your idea?" Rhodey asked.

"Yep," Tony said.

"I'm ready. I'm ready. Go, go, go!" Rhodey exclaimed.

"Take it!" Tony exclaimed and just like at Tony's house, they shot at each other and the middle exploded, where Ivan was.

"You lose," Ivan said before he died. But then his Reactor started to flash red and as did all the other drones.

"All these drones are rigged to blow. We gotta get out of here man," Rhodey said but that was when Tony widened his eyes.

"The girls," he said before he took off.

"What?" Rhodey asked before he also took off, following Tony.

Stark Expo

A drone right by Emma & Pepper started to beep and the two looked at it in curiosity. But then Tony & Rhodey arrived right as it exploded, Tony taking Pepper & Rhodey taking Emma. Tony flew to a roof and landed before he took off his helmet. "Oh my God. I can't take this anymore," Pepper said.

"You can't?" Tony asked.

"I can't take this," Pepper said.

"Look at me," Tony said, referring that he just got almost beat by Ivan.

"My body, literally, cannot handle the stress. I never know if you're gonna kill yourself or wreak the whole company, o-or get Emma involved in one of your twisted schemes," Pepper said.

"I think I did okay," Tony said as everything around them was on fire and some drones were still exploding.

"I quit. I'm resigning. That's it," Pepper said.

"What did you just say? You're done? That's surprising. No, it's not surprising. I get it. You don't have to make excuses," Tony said.

"I'm...I'm...I'm not making any excuses," Pepper said.

"You actually were just making excuses. But you don't have to," Tony said.

"No, I wasn't making an excuse. I'm actually very justified," Pepper said.

"Listen. Hey, hey. You deserve better," Tony said.

"Well-" Pepper started to say.

"You've taken such good care of me. I've been in a tough spot, but you got me through it, so... Right?" Tony said.
