The Invincible Iron Man Page #3

You guys got this all wrong.

Listen to me.

The Jade Dragons

only have Stark weaponry

because they stole it

from our cargo jet.

We've received documents

linking you to the sale.

What documents?

There was no sale.

Uhh!

Cease fire! Cease fire!

He knows it's bulletproof,

because he built it for us.

What are you doing?

We must hurry.

What of the fifth elemental?

If we destroy the temple,

the Dragon will fall.

Fine. I will go in first.

It is safe.

Now move, quickly.

Okay, that is far enough.

Set up here.

Ahh!

Ahh!

Forgive me.

Why is this happening to us?

I don't know, but we're

cut off from our offices.

Man!

Hey...

those locations are...

Ho Yin drew them on this map.

You think the old man was right?

Something's going on,

and I want some answers.

Where are you going?

After the third ring.

I beg your pardon?

Hello.

Oh, hi, Mom.

- Mom?

- Yes, I'm fine.

Busy busy busy.

Lots of company.

What have you

gotten yourself into?

I'll explain later, Pep.

Right now I need into my office.

That's going to be a bit difficult

since I have SHIELD agents

crawling up my...

Pepper, I know.

Can you arrange it?

You know the east stairwell door

that leads to the outside?

I'll make sure it's unlocked.

Hello.

Tony, I-I can

hardly hear you.

Well, how did you two

sneak into the lobby?

You have to get out of there

before the agents... Tony? Tony?

Oh, darn.

Suspects are in the lobby.

I repeat:
suspects are in the lobby.

Remind me to move my office

to the first floor.

So I want assets from these

three offshore accounts

made available,

and keep it on the downlow.

What? We came here

so you can do business?

Not exactly.

Access code:
Maria.

Access granted.

What the?

Greetings, Mr. Stark.

Since when do you have

a secret room?

Come on, Rhodey.

Pepper, I owe you one.

And I'm keeping track.

Lights.

Whoa.

Interactive exosuits.

With these things,

one person can accomplish

what it normally

would take dozens,

exploration of any hostile

environments, deep sea,

volcano, space... anything.

These armors

will change the world.

And since the next place on the map

is on the floor of the Atlantic,

the aquatic model

is going to get me there.

Something wrong?

Just something

you came up with, huh?

I know. Sorry, but I just

wanted to keep it top secret.

Top secret?

Aw, you're full of it, Tony.

Rhodey.

This is what you

hired me for, isn't it,

to work with you

in development?

I was going to bring you in

when the time was right.

When the time was...

why don't you just

own up to it, Tony?

You didn't trust me enough

to be a part of this project.

Rhodey...

I mean, I'm your closest friend.

I've always been in your corner.

Come on, Rhodey.

You're making this personal.

We're friends.

Why are you overreacting?

I'm the only one who sees it

for what it is.

Remember when your father

took your stuff

and put it into

his weapons program,

how betrayed you felt?

Well, guess what, Tony.

You're just like him.

You know what?

You're right.

We've got a lot to talk about,

but right now I need your help.

This must be the place.

Spectrum analysis.

Unknown energy source detected.

Aah! Uhh.

Whaah!

Ow.

Sweet dreams.

Aah!

Warning. Warning:

suit integrity compromised.

Warning:
armor breach.

Life support failing.

Looks like

it didn't go so well.

It's real, Rhodey, all of it.

What I fought today, I can't even

begin to explain, but it is real.

What have I done?

It's not your fault.

Release armor.

Rhodey, I raised

that ancient city.

I set this in motion.

It is my fault.

And true to form,

my father has made

everything worse.

You're not gonna do

something stupid, are you?

Absolutely.

You sold me out!

I did no such thing.

You needed a fall guy

for the Chinese government,

so you trumped up

a phony arms deal.

Underhanded ethics are

your domain, not mine.

Don't talk to me about ethics.

You loaded weapons

onto the cargo jet for Rhodey

knowing I was against it.

They got stolen and people died.

Now they're blaming me

for those deaths.

Rhodey needed protection.

You left him out there with nothing.

They attacked us

with our guns, Dad.

I wouldn't be on the run

if you'd just stayed out of it.

Why don't you drop

this pacifist bull?

Military contracts are

what built this company.

No, it started the company.

I built it

and without a single weapon.

Listen to you.

You sound just like...

Go on!

Like my mother?

She hated the work I did,

and she got you believing

that weapons were...

How dare you blame her

for any of this?

She stood by you, Dad.

She defended you.

When are you going to stop

blaming me for her death?

I lost her too.

Yeah, but I lost you both.

Pepper.

Hi, Tony.

Tony?

Ohh!

Oops. Clumsy me.

You're aiding and abetting

a fugitive, Ms. Potts.

I don't know how

you're helping him,

but you are,

and that's enough

to take you into custody.

Fine. I could use the rest.

I've pulled data

on the fourth ring's location.

It looks like it's right

in the center of an active volcano.

We've got bigger problems.

They're onto us,

and Pepper's been arrested.

Slipping past them is definitely

gonna be a problem.

Then I'll lure them away.

What? No, Rhodey,

they'll arrest you.

Look, I'm open

to other options,

but face it...

we're trapped in here,

and you've gotta get

to Central America.

Rhodey, thanks.

Hey, it's what friends do.

Hey, Jake and Elwood.

We got him on the roof!

I'll take that.

Okay, fellas, take it easy.

Ahh!

Uhh!

Huhh!

Just...

stay down!

Aah!

Uhh.

Lose something, rock slide?

Tony.

Li Mei.

What are you doing here?

I did not know where else to go.

I tried your building, but...

Yeah, it's complicated.

Li Mei, listen, I went after

the Mandarin's rings.

I know.

Why would you do that?

I had to.

- Did you get them?

- Just one.

And what of the elementals?

Only the Earth Mover is left.

Then you are not safe.

He will seek out

that ring wherever it is.

Please, give it to me.

It is my responsibility.

There's no way I'm letting

that thing come after you.

Tony, it is not your burden.

There must be another way.

No. There is not.

What about the tomb?

What if I destroy it?

Will it end?

Li Mei, tell me.

I don't know.

Then it's worth a try.

But I'm gonna need

some armor.

Hello.

Is this line secure?

Tony.

Son, yes, of course it is.

Are you okay?

I've been so worried.

Dad, what's going on?

Nothing. Everything's fine, really.

Tell me, what do you need?

They've got Pepper and Rhodey.

Can you get me

into the building?

Absolutely, Tony.

I'll clear the way.

Just come on up, okay?

I'll take care of everything.

I love you, son.

They were listening.

He was warning me away.

I don't know what else to do.

Unless...

come on.

Uhh!

Huhh!

Uhh!

I have had enough of you!

Uhh!

Here. Take these.

I'm going after the temple.

Maybe the fifth ring is

still in the tomb with him.

It isn't.

It's here.

Your bracelet.
