Three Months

Immediately after looking at the carefully mapped out get away ticket, they then both looked at themselves in understanding.

Next was to implant the miniaturized arc reactor in his chest in place of the car battery while keeping the electromagnet powered and removing the car battery.

It was fun having to carry a car battery up and down and knowing that your life depended on it.

Soon Yinsen with his steady hands was the one to implant the arc reactor into his chest carefully so as not spark any unnecessary reaction.

Following that we both sat down on a makeshift stool, taking a break from not being executed anytime soon since I don't have to worry about dying anytime soon.

''You still haven't told me where you're from?'' I asked Yinsen.

''I am from small time Gulmira in Afghanistan''.

''Do you have a family?''

''Yes, and I will see them when I leave here, what about you?''

''me? As Tony stark or As

Me?''

''You seem to be getting used to being Tony Stark''.

''No, I am not Tony Stark, and I am getting used to it, it's the least I could do…''

''…For your question, I

don't have a family neither do I have a name but call me Ben when we are alone, as for being Tony…'' a wry smile just creased to my face.

''While looking around when we stepped out to see the weapon, I noticed the weapons they used were mostly the Ak47's and Makarov PM, who are these people?''.

''They are your loyal customers, they call themselves the ten rings and the weapons are Both designed by the Soviet Union and are Russian firearms, do you suspect them of this?''

''Beside the point, but nevertheless though they are assault rifles but not heavy enough to pierce multilayered iron''.

Unaware to them, apart from being watched constantly from the security cameras hanging on the corner roof of their cave, people started constantly coming to the door to peek at them from an eye opening.

Three months later…

Two flamethrowers, a jetpack and a rocket launcher could be seen on the working table of Yinsen and Tony with a breastplate looking or cover looking metal soldered along four corners leading towards the centre with an open space.

Tony could be seen cutting and soldering with goggles on while Yinsen could be seen coupling some minor equipment and materials.

Meanwhile in a control room with televisions watching tony and Yinsen stood a few men who were arguably the leader and the head of the Arabs who were holding a picture of what looked like the Jericho missile while also looking at what Tony was making.

Watching from the cameras placed in the cave, they couldn't tell if their captive was making the Jericho missile or not and they were getting impatient, soon enough they major leader of the supposed arbs came to watch too from the television in the control room, though monochrome, it didn't hinder their vision.

Soon enough they could no longer hold in their anxiety and stormed into the room where Tony and Yinsen were working with about roughly twenty men scattered around the huge metallic door holding assault rifle.

A bald man who gave off the feeling of a leader walked in slowly from behind, wouldn't be far off to say he is the real leader, and the other is more of a dummy leader.

The bald man who unlike the others didmn't cover his face walked up to Tony and told him to ''relax''.

Tony and Yinsen who were standing about six feet apart from each other due to the sudden entrance of theNycrew had their hands raised up to show surrender and no resistance were surprised that the man could speak English.

Tony was surprised but slowly put down his hand as the man walked up to him and touched Tony's chest which was now glowing blue due to the arc reactor, but the man only touched it before walking towards the makeshift furnace saying.

''A bow and arrow once were the pinnacle of weapons technology, it allowed the great one to rule from the pacific to the Ukraine, twice the size of alexander the great, but today, whoever holds the latest stark technology rules the land and soon it'll be my turn''.

And then they started speaking in another language which tony didn't understand, slowly walking towards Yinsen was the leader as he picked up a prong, he used to pick up hot coal still in fire.

Tony was already tensed, and soon more men held Yinsen down and the leader approached him repeating the same word repeatedly along with Yinsen as their voices got louder and louder along with the coal coming extremely close to Yinsen face.

Tony couldn't stand watching this as he moved, which made the other Arabs aim their weapons towards him prompting Tony to stop and surrender. Slowly he then said.

''I still need him … to assist me'' pointing at Yinsen.

''You have until tomorrow to assemble my missile'' The leader who was threatening Yinsen said as he left with his crew.

Immediately after that, Tony and Yinsen embarked on a rigorous work ethic, Tony handled the smelting and soldering while Yinsen handled the electricals.

Tony started wearing his cloths which were the leather jackets and the leather gloves as Yinsen and tony walked to the blindside of the camera with tony, suiting him up while tightening up his suit and going through the movement to be made again.

Soon two Arabs came knocking on the door of the workshop and started speaking an unknown language which we both didn't answer.

"Yinsen start up the codes''.

''But I haven't started suiting you up already''.

''Just do it, we don't have time''.

''What about them''

"Let them be, they won't get past those bars without heavy artillery''.

Unknown to the ten rings tony had made a door barricade and enough preparation for this day.

Yinsen had already powered up the suit with the computer on the table and awaited the suit to start up.Advanced chapters on patreon
