"JARVIS! Sometimes you have to run before you can walk. Ready? In three, two, one." Tony said and Begins hovering and flies out of the garage into the sky. "Handles like a dream. All right, let's see what this thing can do. What's SR-71's record?"
"The altitude record for fixed wing flight is 85,000 feet, sir." replied JARVIS
" Records are made to be broken! Come on!" Tony said and began flying straight up.
" Sir, there is a potentially fatal buildup of ice occurring."
"Keep going! Higher!" Tony said ignoring JARVIS as Ice builds up around the suit, causing it to stop working and him to start flying from the sky. "We iced up, JARVIS! Deploy flaps! JARVIS! Come on, we got to break the ice!"
Tony manually gets the flaps up. The power starts just it time before he crashes into traffic. He heads back to the mansion and hovers above it, hoping to safely land on the roof.
"Kill power." Tony ordered
Power is killed and Tony falls through the roof, the piano, and down into his workshop, landing on top of a car. Dummy uses the fire extinguisher on him.
"Looks like there are still some adjustments needed" JARVIS stated
Tony couldn't retort back but asked something else to change the subject "I got quite close to the people in the amusement Park, what are the chances that they saw me."
"You were quite fast for the human eye to catch, at most they would have seen your shadow and thought of it as a drone of some kind" JARVIS replied
But what neither of them didn't know was in that amusement Park there was someone that wasn't quite human.
Ken had taken Skye to the amusement Park after she nagged him for hours but he didn't think he would see the Iron Man Armor of Tony Stark flying above him.
"What was that?" asked Skye as she was also able to see the armor of Tony thanks to the training Ken had put her through.
"Stark's new toy maybe" Ken said not saying exactly what it is as he was still wearing his head around the fact that Stark made his armour before his Kidnapping.
'Fuck! Did what happen in Japan scared him, to create it this early? Will he even get kidnapped now' Ken asked himself but he didn't have the answer to this question.
"Hmm... you maybe right, anyway let's go there, I still haven't ridden the Ferris wheel " Skye said as she pulled Ken with him.
'Not much i can do now, let's see if date has different plans for Tony or not?"

Tony out of the suit, walking around the workshop with an ice pack on his head. He picks up the cup that Pepper left earlier.
"Notes. Main transducer feels sluggish at plus 40 altitude. Hull pressurization is problematic. I'm thinking icing is the probable factor."
" A very astute observation, sir. Perhaps, if you intend to visit other planets, we should improve the exosystems." JARVIS replied sassily
" Connect to the sys. co. Have it reconfigure the shell metals. Use the gold titanium alloy from the seraphim tactical satellite. That should ensure a fuselage integrity while maintaining power-to-weight ratio. Got it?" Stark ordered ignoring JARVIS's sass
"Yes. Shall I render using proposed specifications?" asked JARVIS
" Thrill me." Tony replied
"The render is complete." JARVIS said and showed the Holographic image of it
" A little ostentatious, don't you think?" Tony said as he looked at the armor covered in full golden colour
" What was I thinking? You're usually so discreet." JARVIS said sarcastically
"Tell you what. Throw a little hot-rod red in there." Tony stated
" Yes, that should help you keep a low profile. The render is complete." JARVIS replied and showed the image of golden red Iron Man Armor
"Hey, I like it. Fabricate it. Paint it." Tony ordered
"Commencing automated assembly. Estimated completion time is five hours." JARVIS replied
"Don't wait up for me, honey." Tony said and decided to go to a casino and enjoy himself a little.

In his office Obadiah was contacting some of his contacts in the underworld and making a deal with them.
"I will send you his location when he comes to your country make sure he stays there and you will get the promised payment " Obadiah typed in the mail and sent it through a secret account.
After sending the mail he leaned back in his chair and thought, 'Tony you are my golden goose who I wasn't ready to slaughter but you are getting out of hand even for me so it's time for you to give up the the Stark Industries and go meet your parents '

3 Months later, 4th September 2004.
The Jericho missile was done, and Tony was going to Afganistan with James Rhodes his American Military liaison and Happy his bodyguard to showcase the missile to the decision the dicision makers of the American Military.
Tony was working on his Mark 3 Armor in his workshop, it's a special Armor that cam be carried by him outside by him or his bodyguard so that Tony could wear it immediately if the need arises. He has been working in this Armor for the last 3 months as this is the only Armor that would protect him. And he was finally able to complete it even if the testing phase was done and he was just making sure that it would be up and running when needed.
"I'm gonna try again, right now." Pepper said as she entered the workshop and turned the music down as she was talking on the phone.
"Please don't turn down my music." Tony asked
" I'll keep you posted." Pepper said Getting off the phone. "You are supposed to be halfway around the world right now."
"How'd she take it?" asked Tony
" Like a champ." Pepper replied sarcastically
"Why are you trying to hustle me out of here?" Tony asked
"Your flight was scheduled to leave an hour and a half ago." Pepper stated
"That's funny, I thought with it being my plane and all, that it would just wait for me to get there." Tony said
"Tony, I need to speak to you about a couple things before I get you out of the door." Pepper stated ignoring his question
" I mean, doesn't it kind of defeat the whole purpose of having your own plane if it departs before you arrive?" Tony asked still stuck on the same question
As the two continued to banter and glory a little Tony got a call from Rhodes shouting at him to come fast.
"I hope you have a safe journey Mr. Stark" Pepper said as she saw Tony getting ready to go.
"I will Ms. Potts" Tony said after which Pepper left the Workshop.
Tony also picked up the Mark 3 suitcase and went to his room to change his clothes.
Happy and Tony raced to the airport and arriving.
" You're good. I thought I lost you back there."
