Chapter 54: Self destructive mode
Tony came back from the track after putting away the suit. He saw Bruce and others sitting in the table while most of others left who were attending the race due to security reasons.
"You selfish piece of sh*t. What were you thinking? Do you know how dangerous it was? You were almost killed just now. Do you even think of others who care about you?" Pepper shouted in a very loud voice. Tony just kept his head down, he knew this was dangerous and it was his fault.
Bruce and John didn't comment on anything as they knew why Tony was acting weird. A person who was dying might act in a self destructive way. This was normal. And specially a person like Tony, who all his life had been in control of everything.
"Thanks Bruce for the help. You saved my life again." Tony said to Bruce without replying to Pepper because he knew no amount of apologizing would remedy the situation. Bruce just gave a nod and didn't say anything.
"Who was he anyways? How does he have the arc reactor" Tony murmured.
"He is Ivan Vanke, son of Anton Vanke. Anton was a colleague of your father Howard. That's how he knows the arc reactor. Anton wanted to make money out of the arc reactor so Howard deported him to Soviet Union. Ivan inherited all the knowledge from his father. So that led to this situation. Your previous generation's of hatred continued till now." John said in one breath.
Rhodes went to the laboratory to wear a suit and came back to the upper level where the celebration was going on. "Shut it down!" Rhodes shouted with anger.
All, except Bruce, immediately left. Tony who heard this didn't pay attention and asked the DJ to continue playing the song. Then the fight ensued. And the fight followed like it was supposed to be, with a huge blast at the end caused by their both hand thrusters. Tony was thrown away by the blast and felt unconscious.
After Rhodes came out of the mess he saw Bruce standing a little far looking at him.
"I thought you are here to make him better, you disappointed me." Rhodes said to Bruce. Rhodes being a great friend of Tony, knew the identity of Bruce.
"Do you really think you can just walk away with Tony's suit without him allowing it? If you think so then it means you don't really know Tony." Bruce replied.
Rhodes was stunned when he heard that. But when he thought about it he couldn't understand why Tony was behaving so weirdly. He looked at Tony with a complicated expression and then flew away to the US Air Force base.
