New Mexico, Stark Subsidiary.
Guided by some inexplicable impulse, Tony, as Iron Man, came to this subsidiary. Lately, he had always felt somewhat restless, as if something was about to happen.
As the chairman of Stark Industries, Tony had taken over the massive family business from his father, Ali Stark, when he was young.
A billionaire and weapons manufacturer as well, he had invented many highly destructive weapons with his brilliant mind, including that set of superhero Iron Man Armor!
"Tony, we've got trouble."
A Black colonel walked up and spoke.
James Rhodes was an Air Force colonel and also Tony Stark's best friend.
He had once helped Iron Man repel enemies, and in gratitude, Tony had given him a Mark II Iron Man Armor. Of course, its performance was far inferior to the Mark IV Iron Man Armor Tony currently wore.
"What is it?"
"Fifty miles north of here, a thunderstorm has appeared. The military has already sent special forces to investigate."
"What does that have to do with me? I'm just here on vacation."
"But there's a superhuman there. He's already torn apart several Black Hawk Helicopters with his bare hands and knocked out every member of the special forces. Headquarters has issued us a mission. The Avengers need to move out!"
"This is just great."
"Quit complaining. I'll buy you a drink when we get back."
After patting Tony on the shoulder, the two walked to the armor room like close friends.
With the help of the artificial intelligence Jarvis, Tony put on the Mark IV Iron Man Armor, while Colonel Rhodes donned the Mark II Iron Man Armor. The two ran a quick check on their combat capabilities.
Once they confirmed there were no problems, they immediately soared into the air and headed toward the source
