Far away in a cave across Afghanistan Tony wakes up suddenly with a tube up his nose, laying on a cot in a cave. He rips out the tube and tries to pick up a cup on the table beside him, but fails. He notices a man shaving and tries to reach further but is stopped by wires.

Man: I wouldn't do that if I were you.

Tony realises that he's connected to a battery he panicky rips off the bandages over his chest to see an electromagnet inside his chest, shortly after the man and Tony sit by a small fire as the man was making food while Tony is using a mirror to look at his chest.

Tony Stark: What the hell did you do to me?

Man: What I did? What I did is to save your life. I removed all the shrapnel I could, but there's a lot left, and it's headed into your atrial septum. Here, want to see? I have a souvenir. Take a look.

He hands Tony a small glass tube what looked like shrapnel inside

Man: I've seen many wounds like that in my village. We call them the walking dead because it takes about a week for the barbs to reach the vital organs.

Tony Stark: What is this?

Man: That is an electromagnet, hooked up to a car battery, and it's keeping the shrapnel from entering your heart. Hmm? That's right. Smile. We met once, you know, at a technical conference in Bern.

Tony Stark: I don't remember.

Man: No, you wouldn't. If I had been that drunk, I wouldn't have been able to stand, much less give a lecture on integrated circuits.

Tony Stark: Where are we?

Suddenly loud voices sound from the another side of the metal door as they open it, the man pulled Tony up on his feet and placed his hands behind his head

Man: Come on, stand up. Stand up! Just do as I do. Come on, put your hands up.

Then men stepped inside the room holding what looked like weapons Tony had manufactured

Tony Stark: Those are my guns. How did they get my guns?

Man: Do you understand me? Do as I do.

A man starts speaking in Arabic.

Man:  He says, Welcome, Tony Stark, the most famous mass murderer "in the history of America."He is honored. He wants you to build the missile. The Jericho missile that you demonstrated.

Man speaks in Arabic, handing a picture of the Jericho missile.

Man: This one.

Tony grew angry

Tony Stark: I refuse.

Suddenly Tony then was dragged over to a large bucket full of water and his head was thrown inside, as he was being drowned he had flashes of his life and a memory of him and Y/n when he was younger, he remembered stepping inside the young boys messy room instead of electronics and wiring it was filled with comic's one of those comics that Y/n was reading was Captain America a hero from world war 2

Tony: I don't know why you read that stuff, it will rot your brain

Y/n laughs

Y/n: Dad it's a comic book!

Tony: Still you could do doing some of your homework on magnets

Y/n: I did that yesterday, why can't we be superheroes?

Tony looked at him and laughed

Tony: Because we are in the real world

Y/n: So? Look at what you can make, you could make a suit of armour and fight crime, oh I could have one too!
