"Talk to me Jarvis." Tony said as he sat downstairs in his lab. Tony had a lot of things to think about, not just the direction of his company but also what he would do from now on. They hadn't even invited him to his own company party, he knew that they were unhappy about his decision to stop making weapons but he couldn't change his mind. He couldn't just go back to his party days and drink it all away, he had a mission now. He had to be better than before, hopefully he would make Yinsen proud, it still hurt Tony knowing that the man died so he could escape that stupid cave.
But for the moment Tony's thoughts were stuck on his rescuer, he remembered waking in the desert after he escaped using his suit. He had been tired, thirsty and hungry but he knew that he would have still been able to keep walking for much longer. Tony had been knocked out before, mostly from drinking, but when he fell unconscious he remembered getting hit by something in the back. He was sure of it.
"I have one thing that may interest you sir," Jarvis, Tony's A.I system, said. "I have something that may interest you.
"What is it?" Tony asked.
"It's grim sir." Jarvis replied.
"What is?"
"Your rescuers name, 'Grim'." Jarvis answered. "I highly doubt that it's his real name but that is the only name I can come up with." Jarvis said as several files appeared on Tony's screen.
"His name is 'Grim'?" Tony snorted in amusement as he accessed the files and spent some time reading whatever he could.
To Tony's surprise there was only very few files on him and very little information in those files, there was not even a single picture of him. However the very little information that was available did interest Tony greatly. This 'Grim' guy had only been on the scene for about a year or so, the earliest thing that Tony could find on him involved him killing him over a hundred people in one night.
Everything from the guy's name to his abilities was being kept a secret and Tony found that especially odd for an intelligence organization.
"The guy is a total ghost story." Tony commented.
"Indeed," Jarvis agreed. "I highly doubt he is the sort of person you can simply call and invite over for a drink."
"Shield knows about him, or at least a few people in Shield do." Tony said thoughtfully. "What kind of tech and connections must the guy have had access to if he is able to kill so many people in a single night?" Tony wondered. "And why is it that there is barely any information on him at all?"
"I don't know sir, shall I assume that you wish to find out?"
"You know me so well Jarvis." Tony smirked.

Harry was enjoying a nice ride on his motorbike, he was wearing black boots, blue jeans, a grey shirt under a black leather jacket and he also had on a pair of black gloves and a helmet. As Harry was driving he received a call, he answered it using his ear piece.
"What do you want?" Harry asked.
"It's me Coulson," Coulson's voice replied. "do me a favor because I really need Grim right now, there's a situation at Stark industries."
"What kind?" Harry asked as he changed directions and started driving towards Stark industries which was fortunately quite close to where he was now. Harry activated a set of runes that he had built into his bike and the bike speeded up beyond it's usual speed, it was much like the Knight bus in Harry's opinion, just much more comfortable.
"Obadiah Stane is trying to kill us." Coulson said, his voice as calm as ever, despite the situation.
"You guys can't handle one man?" Harry asked with disbelief, knowing there was more to it than that.
"Not when he is in a giant suit of armor." Coulson replied. "We need you to try and stop it before any civilians get hurt."
"On it." Harry said just before noticing something up ahead, he saw what looked like a giant grey robot battling with a regular sized red and yellow robot, though if one of them was Stane in a suit then Harry figured that that meant the other one was also a man in a suit. Apparently they were no longer inside the Stark building. "I see two suits, one grey and one red, which one do you want me to go after?" Harry asked.
"The grey one." Coulson answered.
"You got it, call you back." Harry ended the call before speeding up. Harry pulled out a gun just before he slowed down and stopped his bike, Harry activated a portkey feature he had in on his bike and sent it away. Harry walked towards the two just as the grey one, who Harry guessed was Stane, stomped on top of the red one. Harry aimed his gun and shot two bullets that bounced off Stane's helmet but was able to succeed in getting his attention.
"Really?" Stane chuckled as he looked at him.
"Run!" Whoever was in the red suit shouted.
"I'm giving you one warning," Harry said to Stane. "stand down."
"Didn't you hear me?!" The guy in the red suit shouted with disbelief.
"Oh don't worry Tony," Stane said as he kicked the red suited man away. "I'll make it quick."
"Tony? Oh fucking hell, you're telling me that that is Stark?" Harry sighed.
"Friend of yours Tony?" Stane asked before looking in Harry's direction. "I'm giving you one warning, stand down." Stane said, echoing Harry's earlier words and Harry could tell he was smiling under the suit.
"Well at least nobody will say I didn't give you a chance." Harry said as he aimed the gun at Stane's head, he discreetly activated the runes he had placed on the gun. Harry had spent a lot of experimenting on runes for his gun, this particular gun had various runes including runes that would stay active such as self cleaning runes and runes to prevent it from running out of bullets. The runes that Harry had just activated were more destructive.
"Oh this'll be fun," Stane laughed. "bring it half-pint." Stane taunted.
"Consider it brought." Harry replied before he fired, the bullet pierced through the air before it crashed against Stane's helmet and exploded, Stane stumbled back from the force of the explosion. Harry followed up with three more bullets which caused Stane to take a few steps back. Once Harry had stopped firing, Stane was still standing and his suit didn't appear to look very damaged… or even damaged.
"That's just pissed me off." Stane said before he raised his left arm and a machine gun rose out and was aimed at Harry.
"You failed me." Harry whispered disappointedly to his gun before he jumped out of the way as Stane began firing, Harry quickly got behind a car, barely avoiding getting shot but Harry didn't stay still as he knew that the car wouldn't offer much protection against a gun that powerful. Harry teleported and landed on the bus behind Stane.
