Sorry, Shanks. Also please stop calling me Sherlock chuckles
Stop giving yourself nicknames
Fine, fine. I'll just call myself Tony then. Happy now, Shanks?
That's good to hear, Shanks. Now let's get back to work and make sure everything goes perfectly tonight. We've got a lot riding on this gala.
Time for my suit-up, Shanks. Keep an eye on things here. I'll meet you back here once I'm ready. Let's make this a night to remember.
Why is your suitup different from last time? It has a much cooler design
It's a new prototype, Shanks. The design is sleeker and more efficient. It also has some new weapons and defenses that will give me an edge in battle.
It even has a cooler name!
Right! I almost forgot to mention it. This one's gonna be called... Iron Man MK. 50!
Thanks, Shanks. Now, let's finish up here and show the world what the latest Iron Man can do. starts powering up his suit
And you might wanna tuck that blonde strand of hair in before the gala
notices the stray strand of hair and tucks it in Good call, Shanks. Can't have any loose ends ruining the look. Now, let's get this show on the road!
It wouldn’t hurt to run your suit through a scanner
Great call, Shanks. I'll run a quick scan to make sure everything is in order. activates his suit's scanner
Another evil scientist walks in Another villain wants to fight you hmmm? Well most of us havejobs so we won’t be able to
raises an eyebrow Jobs, huh? Sounds like someone's afraid to step into the ring with Iron Man. But hey, if they're not up for the challenge, who am I to argue? smirks and starts powering up his suit Let's see what they've got. gets into fighting stance Another Villain: laughs and cracks his knuckles You think you're so clever, Stark? You're just a pompous playboy in a tin can. I'll put you in the ground where you belong!
Actually Tony they’re paying customers
pauses and looks at the villain with a smirk Paying customers, huh? Well, they're about to get the show of their lives. turns towards the crowd Ladies and gentlemen, prepare to witness the power of Iron Man! summons his repulsor and flies into the air Another Villain: smirks and pulls out a weapon You think you can impress them with your little flying tricks?
He’s been doing those tricks since before you were born you old fart
narrows his eyes and flies towards the villain Old fart, huh? Well, let's see how old-fashioned my tricks can still be! fires a repulsor blast at the villain Another Villain: dodges the blast and retaliates with a powerful energy beam You think you can outfly me, Stark? Think again! fires a more powerful blast towards Iron Man
Just take out his legs with a EMP blast, there’s no need to get him killed
ducks under the energy beam and fires an EMP blast at the villain's legs Good idea, Shanks! watches as the villain falls to the ground Looks like the EMP did the trick. They won't be standing for long. lands next to the fallen villain Another Villain: groans in pain Damn it, Stark! You always find a way to ruin everything! struggles to get up
Looks like we’re short-staffed today. Wanna help pick him up off the ground?
smirks and extends his hand towards the fallen villain Sure thing, Shanks. Let's make this a team effort. helps lift the villain off the ground Another Villain: struggles to stand You think this is over, Stark? I'll make sure you pay for this!
Oh, I'm counting on it. grabs his handcuffs and holds them out towards the villain How about we continue this discussion in a more... secure environment? smirks and waits for the villain to comply
You know what, Shanks? This guy needs a taste of his own medicine. presses a button on his suit and activates a holographic disguise How about we make him think he's being escorted away by the authorities? smirks and nods towards the hologram Let's make this show really convincing.
