[The next scene was Tony in his lab. he clapped his hands twice and the song 'Should I stay or Should I go' played on the stereo. And all sorts of holograms started to appear.]

Tony: "Wake up. Daddy's home."

Riven smirked. While Sky gave him a pointed look and pointing at him.

"Don't you dare."

"I wasn't going to say anything."

"Good."

JARVIS: "Welcome home, sir. Congratulations-" [the scene cut to Tony's Iron Man suits. From the first to the fourth.] "-on the opening ceremonies." [The holograms scanned the suits] "They were such a success, as was your Senate hearing.-" [The next scene cut to the computer where Tony was seen in YouTube. The headlines saying 'SENATE ARMED SERVICES COMMITTEE'] "-And may I say how refreshing it is to finally see you in a video with your clothing on, sir."

Some eyebrows furrowed, [even mine, what did that mean?]

[Tony chuckles. In the corner, dummee ruins a drink and it goes all over the wall.]

Tony: "You!" [He tips down the blender.] "I swear to God I'll dismantle you. I'll soak your motherboard. I'll turn you into wine rack." [The arms of Dummee turn a little.]

Most people chuckle at what he says, while the teachers only smiled and shook their head.

[Dummee powers down.]

Tony: "How many ounces a day of this gobbledegook am I supposed to drink?" [He asks as he works on his computer and holograms.]

JARVIS: "We are up to 80 ounces a day to counteract the symptoms, sir." [He takes a sip and quirks his eyebrows. He puts it down.] 

Tony: "Jade doesn't know about this, right?"

JARVIS: "No, sir."

Tony cringes again. He really should have told her because she was worried sick about him.

Tony: "Check palladium levels." [He puts his thumb on a small machine that checks blood toxicity. It shows 24%. He looks back at his thumb and find a small drop of blood as Jarvis speaks.]

JARVIS: "Blood toxicity, 24%." [Tony gets a small bandage while staring at the monitor, showing his palladium concentration as Jarvis speaks.] "It appears that the continued use of the Iron Man suit is accelerating your condition." [Tony reaches out to the machine on his chest.] "Another core has been depleted." [He takes it off, where the back of it, the core rises. He takes it off.] 

Tony: "God, they're running out quick."

JARVIS: "I have run simulations on every known element,-" [he opens a box where several more cores are seen.] "-and none can serve as a viable replacement for the palladium core." [He gets another core and places it inside. He puts it back inside his chest] "You are running out of both time and options." [Tony exhales.]

Some widened their eyes. What did that mean?

JARVIS: "Unfortunately, the device that's keeping you alive is also killing you." [He looks at the machine on his chest.] "Ms Potts is approaching. I recommend that you inform her-"

Tony: "Mute-" [All the holograms go blank as Pepper walks in. The screen of the computers show pictures of cars. As he takes a drink] "Uh-uh"

Pepper: "Is this a joke?" [She walks up to him.] "What are you thinking?"
