"That's quite the ambition sir."

"Nothing impossible though." Tony chuckled reminiscing about all the missed opportunities in the past or the alternate future to be exact.

"I will do my best to assist you on this endeavour." The A.I took a pass as a digital screen popped up on the table. "When do we begin?"

"Now, show me the constructional design of the Arc reactor."

A blue holographic image of the Arc reactor popped up into the lab, Tony sized it down to add multiple layers of palladium over it. Once he finished miniaturising, he looked at the marvel of clean energy coming down to the size of his fist.

"Jarvis?" Tony called, waiting for the A.I to conclude its report.

"Sir, while the palladium seems to work as a valiant core, it also comes with an extremely high risk of metal poisoning, I suggest we look for other alternatives."

"Don't sweat it J, this is more of a temporary solution, start manufacturing." Tony ordered. The A.i began to construct the reactor while Tony moved to the bar at the end of the lab and poured himself a drink.

"J?" Tony called out.

"The estimated prep time is 6 hours and 45 minutes, Sir." Tony nodded, pleased with the estimated time and moved back to the table, of course he didn't forget to take a bottle with him.

"Hmm, hack Obidiah's phone and recover every single bank statement, his deleted phone calls, browser history, contacts, dealings, I don't care, I want everything from it, everything."

"On it sir." J replied.

Hours passed by as Tony worked on his new Mark 2 suit, he decided to go more light on colours this time to keep the stealth rather than attracting the eyes, it didn't take long for him to make a complete design of the suit.

The suit had titanium gold alloy as its main base, with a multitude of space for weapons and projectiles, he went all out with the jet boosters.

"After the reactor, go for Mark 2 bud." Tony sighed and leaned back at the chair.

"My work load keeps increasing, not that I complain sir." Jarvis made a quirky remark that made Tony chuckle.

"Well who said world domination was easy?" Tony smiled.

"Sir, I have retrieved all the files from Obidiah's phone and I suggest you take a look at this one." Jarvis said as a holographic file popped up but Tony didn't bother.

"Let me guess, that son of a bitch was the one that sold me out by giving my location in Afghanistan and he is double dealing my weapons."

"Affirmative sir." Jarvis confirmed.

"Transfer all the files to Pepper's system, make sure to keep it down until I say so and order them according to the dates, starting from the day I was kidnapped." Tony had a devilish smirk across his face.

"Done sir."

"Hmm, that was fast, pass a message to Stane, call him for a private meeting, tonight."

"Will do, sir."

Tony walked out of the lab after he finished gulping down the contents of the bottle, leaving Jarvis with his work, he walked into the shower, his mind wandered through places as the warm water hit him.

The shower calmed his nerves and made him think about his plans. If he had Extermesis 3.0 or the Endo-Sym armour right now, things would progress way faster but the reality was they are not and he is back to a time, where peace was running out.

For his world dominance plan, there are people who would be a thorn in his path, they need to be wiped clean and there are people who he could use, allied with but before all those he needed to understand Death's blessing and for that he needs to kill.

After spending a long time in the shower, he walked out with a towel wrapped around him. Jarvis informed him about Stane's reply, Obidiah would be at the mansion by evening, Tony just needs to give a push and that old bastard would fall right into his trap.

Stark spent the rest of the afternoon overlaying his design for the future suits with his current one and working out in the gym under his lab, his muscles were already in peak condition by the physical enhancements. Tony was sure he could go toe-to-toe with Steve in terms of strength right now.

"Sir, Stane is here." Jarvis informed.

"Keep him engaged." Tony replied and walked out of the gym, he wiped the non-existent sweat with a towel and hung it around his neck.

Tony noticed Stane at the corner of his eyes as he climbed up to the living room, the old bastard was drinking his rum while watching the sunset.

"Stane." Tony called his name, Obidiah turned around slowly with a smile on his face, he opened his arms wide and pulled Tony in for a big hug.

"Look at you." Obidiah let go of Stark and moved back, he looked at Tony, up and down and shook his head. "Still got the cool."

"Well I was born with it." Tony smirked while Stane chuckled.

"Oh boy, did I miss you." Stane sighed.

'Of Course you did.' Tony sarcastically remarked in his mind.

"Let's save the love talks for later, I need to talk to you about something and this is serious." Tony said with an unnatural amount of seriousness, that took Stane by surprise.

From the time he knew Tony, Stane had never seen him this serious, even when Howard died, Tony's demeanour was not this stiff and it honestly made him gulp down in fear.

"O-Ok." Stane nodded awkwardly and took a seat at the table. "What is it?"

Tony pressed his hands against the table and leaned forward, his eyes narrowing down at Stane's. "Do you know how many people knew about my residence in Afghan?"

"No." Stane shook his head.

"Two, only two." Tony stood back and folded his hands. "It was just you and Pepper."

Stane thinned his lips as his hand reached down to the revolver strapped to his leg, he cursed himself for coming here, he knew the moment Tony lost his cool, something was wrong but he didn't expect this, Obidiah didn't expect Tony to find it this soon.

Stane grasped the hilt of the revolver and slowly took it out, Tony turned around and moved towards the wine cabinet, using Tony's distraction Stane pointed the gun at him.

"I think Pepper sold me out." It took a moment for Stane to absorb those words but when he did, he immediately pulled back the gun and let out an internal sigh of relief.

"I took a look at the attendance log and Pepper didn't show up for two days right after my kidnapping, it was super suspicious considering her work nature and that's when it clicked."

Stane chuckled in his head at Tony's idiocy. 'Of Course he thinks it's Pepper, only if he knew the gal was bawling her eyes out at the news.'

"Hmm, you too think it's her." Obidiah grimmed.

"What do you mean you too? You know something?" Tony raised his brows.

"I noticed her being somehow relieved after that day, I think Happy too has a part in this, they have been quite close since the incident." Stane replied.

"That bitch." Tony scoffed with a blank chuckle. "I'm gonna ruin her"

"Oh calm down Tony." Stane stood up and pressed his arm on Stark's shoulder. "Calm down boy, this is a matter that needs to be handled silently and we have no proof it was her.. and you need to rest, so leave this to me."

"I'm gonna make sure, all she thinks for the rest of life is my fucking face." Tony said with a smirk. Stane immediately clenched his shoulders tighter and pressed him down.

"Tony, you need to rest, I got this, we are going to put her in her place, leave this to me and try to get these things off your mind."

The older man said with a elderly smile and walked out of the mansion, he left Tony fuming in rage and right before leaving, he stopped at the entrance and glanced back at the mansion and muttered. "Idiot."

Tony looked at the car leaving the premise and his rage died down like it was never there and what replaced it was an evil grin.

"Fucking idiot" Tony chuckled.
