Chapter 12: New Element

Ivan was making bigger whips than the ones he had at Morocco.

Justin: <phone> you promised me suits and then you promised me drones.

Ivan; hey, man, everything will be okay.

Justin: <phone> this is not what I wanted.

Ivan: <hangs up>

Later, Justin went to Ivan's room with two mean looking guys as Ivan was resting.

Justin; hey, there he is. It's the bird man. Now you like the bird. Is that right? Is that your bird? I'm confused. You said it wasn't, but now it looks like you're best of pals. You love that bird, don't you? You know what? Take the bird.

One of the guards takes the bird and stuffs it in a bag.

Vanko; hey!

Justin; take his pillows, too. Both of them.

The other guard takes the pillows.

Justin: and his shoes. Take his shoes.

The other guard took his boots leaving his bare tattooed feet out in the cold ground.

Justin: I took your stuff. How does that make you feel? Do you feel bad? Good. 'Cause that's how I feel! We had a contract! I saved your life and you give me suits. That was our deal. And you did not deliver. I don't know if you're a genius or a fraud. I don't know what you are. Something really, really great fell into my lap. And if it hadn't, I'd be at your mercy tonight. Now I have a piece of Stark tech that I pimped out myself. And now your overpriced paperweights are gonna look like a backdrop to my demonstration. Do you dig what I'm getting at here?

Vanko: <russian> you talk too much.

Justin; I don't know if you know this, but I don't speak Russian! I'm gonna leave now. I'm gonna go to the w. Maybe I'll even get laid or get some good news on Wade's death. I really hate that kid. You see these guys? They're your babysitters. They are not to be trifled with. When I get back, we're gonna renegotiate the terms of our agreement. And you're gonna make good on our agreement because if you don't, you're gonna be exactly what you were when I found you, a dead man. You got that? Maybe you can watch me on TV.

Justin leaves as Vanko looks at the two guards and scoffs.

Malibu Manor

Tony: Dumpy, you, can we clean up this mess? You're killing me. You know I don't...

The phone starts ringing.

Tony: my phone privileges are reinstated. Lovely.

Bobbi; that's... not possible.

Tony: <answers> Coulson. How's the Land of Enchantment?

Ivan: <phone> hey, Tony, how you doing? I double cycle.

Tony: you what?

It didn't really take Ivan long to hang his "babysitters" by their necks, get his stuff back, and make a makeshift phone.

Ivan: <phone> you told me double cycle's more power. Good advice.

Tony: you sound pretty sprightly for a dead guy.

Ivan: <phone> you, too.

Tony: <mutes the phone> trace him.

Jarvis: sir.

Ivan: <phone> now, the true history of Stark name will be written.

Tony: Jarvis, where is he?

Jarvis: accessing the Oracle grid. Eastern Seaboard.

Ivan: <phone> what your father did to my family over 40 years, I will do to you in 40 minutes.

Tony: <unmutes> sounds good. Let's get together and has it out.

Jarvis: Tri-state area. Manhattan and outlying boroughs.

Ivan: <phone> I hope you're ready. And just because I like your son, I'll tell you, he is being targeted by Mercenaries and Assassins. Keep an eye out. <hangs up>

Jarvis: call trace incomplete.

Wade: I'm being targeted?

Bobbi: I'll get ahold of the Director. <gets her phone out and goes upstairs>

Tony grabbed his new reactor as he removed the old one.

Jarvis: sir...

Tony: you want to run some tests, run them. <puts his new reactor on his chest> and assemble the suits while you're at it. Put it together now.

Wade: suits?

Tony; yours.

Wade: but I've never flown before.

Tony: then we will have a crash course.

Jarvis: we are unclear of the effects...

Tony: I don't want to hear it, Jarvis.

Tony's new core glowed as the black lines were going away.

Tony: that tastes lukewarm coconut. And metal. Oh, wow, yeah!

The core glowed very brightly as the battle at the Expo was going to begin.
