Somewhere on a street in Malibu, Rhodey was driving with a cell phone to his ear. "What do you mean, he paid to have Tony killed?" He asked. "Pepper, slow down. Why would Obadi - okay, where is Tony now?"

"I don't know, he's not answering his phone," Pepper answered worriedly. She was walking out of a SHIELD building flanked by about half a dozen agents, Coulson at their head. "Please go over there and make sure everything's okay. Thank you, Rhodey."

She touched her earpiece and addressed Coulson. "I know a shortcut," she said.

Rhodey swerved sharply, and drove off for Tony's house.

Tony, obviously clinging to life, flung himself into an elevator. Scarlet had one of his arms around her neck with her other arm around his waist, trying to hold him up. Tony slid slowly down the wall of the elevator as it carried him down. When the door opened, he steadied himself against edge as he hauled himself over the threshold, every move clearly a terrible effort.

Tony pushed himself forward, and his hand just managed to push open the door to the garage.

There it sat on his desk: Pepper's gift to him, the old Arc Reactor. It was painfully far away, but it was there.

Tony fell to the floor, and began to crawl. Scarlet scrambled to help him up. Bit by bit, he made his way to the table on which sat the Arc Reactor. He pulled himself up on a plastic bin and stretched up his arm as far as he could. His hand came just short of reaching the glass case before he fell back down to the floor.

And then came the sound of a peculiar little whine, and down came a robotic arm with the Arc Reactor in its claw.

Tony reached up for the case, and looked up at Dum-E, who gave a little concerned click.

"Good boy," Tony said, before smashing the glass case. He got it in with Scarlet's help, but he was still struggling to gain his strength back.
