Son of Iron Man 2008

Chapter 2: Stuck in a cave

A day ago, in Las Vegas.

Tony Stark. Visionary. Genius. American patriot. Even from an early age, the son of legendary weapons developer, Howard Stark, quickly stole the spotlight with his brilliant and unique mind. At age four, he built his first circuit board. At age six, his first engine. And at 17, he graduated summa cum laude from MIT. Then, the passing of a titan. Howard Stark's lifelong friend and ally, Obadiah Stane, steps in to help fill the gap left by the legendary founder, until at age 21 the prodigal son returns, and is anointed the new CEO of Stark Industries. With the keys to the kingdom, Tony ushers in a new era for his father's legacy, creating smarter weapons advanced robotics, satellite targeting. Today, Tony Stark has changed the face of the weapons industry along his son, (Y/n) Stark, the boy genius, by ensuring freedom and protecting America and her interests around the globe.

A little boy named (Y/n) Stark sat at a table, while the audience applaud.

James Rhodes is on stage.

Rhodes: As liaison to Stark Industries, I've had the unique privilege of serving with a real patriot. He is my friend and he is my great mentor. Ladies and gentlemen, it is my honor to present this year's Apogee Award to Mr. Tony Stark.

The audience applaud. You look around for your dad, but no sign of him.

Rhodes: Tony?

Stane shook his head, then goes upstage.

Stane: Thank you, Colonel. This is beautiful. Thank you. Thank you all very much. This is wonderful. Well, I'm not Tony Stark. But if I were Tony, I would tell you how honored I feel, and what a joy it is to receive this very prestigious award. Tony, you know, the best thing about Tony is also the worst thing. He's always working.

At the casino, Tony rolled two dices.

Tony: Work it! Come on.

Woman was swooning over him.

Tony: We should just stay till the morning.

Rhodes came by.

Rhodes: You are unbelievable.

Tony: Oh no. Did they rope you into this? I'm so sorry.

Rhodes: Nobody roped me into anything. But they told me that if I presented you with an award, you'd be deeply honored.

Tony: Of course I'd be deeply honored. And it's you, that's great. So when do we do it?

Rhodes: It's right here. Here you go.

He showed the reward.

Tony: There it is. That was easy. I'm so sorry.

Rhodes: Yeah, it's okay.

Tony: Wow. Would you look at that? That's something else.

He pulls up the chips.

Tony: We're gonna let it ride! Give me a hand, will you? Give me a little something-something.

The woman blows the dice in his hand.

Tony: Okay, you too.

Rhodes: I don't blow a man's dice.

Tony: Come on, honey bear.

He rolls them.

Tony: There it is. Lt. Colonel Rhoes rolls! And.

Both dices land on circles.

Dealer: Two craps. Line away.

Rhodes shrugs.
