Chapter 1
Present Time
Day Time: Kunar Province, Afghanistan
In the desert on dirt road, five military trucks are driving through in high alert encase there's an attack. Tony Stark seated behind the passenger seat in a fancy suit with sunglasses on and a glass of scotch with ice in his hand. A radio playing in the background in the middle of the truck, AC/DC.
Soldier 1 sitting in the passenger seat in front of Tony, Soldier 2 on the left of Tony in the back, behind the driver's seat, and female Soldier 3 in the driver's seat, driving through the desert. Tony notices the tension and breaks the silence.
Tony Says, "I am feeling like you're driving me to a court-martial. This is crazy." He then asks, "What did I do? I feel like you're gonna smuff me. What not allowed to talk?" Tony looks at soldier 2 and yells "Hey, Forrest!"
"We can talk, sir." Soldier 2 stated.
Tony asks, "Oh, I see. So, it's personal?"
Soldier 3 driving tells him, while still looking at the road, "No, you intimidate them."
Tony looks at her shocked but quickly says "Good God, you're a woman. I honestly-I couldn't have called it. I mean I would apologize but isn't that what we're going for here, I thought of you as a soldier first."
"I'm an airman." Soldier 3 responds.
"You have, actually, excellent bone structure, there. I'm kind of having a hard time not looking at you now. Is that weird?" Tony asks. They laugh at his joke, loosing up a bit. "Come on, it's okay, laugh."
Soldier 1 asks, "Sir, I have a question to ask."
Tony says, "Yes, please."
"Is it true you went 12 for 12 with last year's Maxim cover models?" Soldier 1 asks.
Tony answers take off his glasses, "That is an excellent question. Yes and no. March and I had a scheduling conflict, but fortunately, the Christmas cover was twins. Anything else?" He asks, looking at soldier 2 and see his hand raised a bit. You're kidding me with the hand up, right?"
Soldier 2 asks, "Is it cool if I take a picture with you?"
"Yes. It's very cool." Tony answers. They both leaning toward to middle of the truck, Soldier 2 hands over his camera to Soldier 1 to take the picture of them. "All right. I don't want to see this on your Myspace page." He jokes. Soldier 2 raises his hand to a peace sign and Tony jokes, "Please, no gang signs." Soldier 2 lowers his hand, "No, throw it up. I'm kidding." Soldier 2 raises his peace sign again, "Yeah, peace. I love peace. I'd be out of a job with peace."
Soldier 1 was taking too long take the picture and Soldier 2 tells him, "Come on. Hurry up. Just click it. Don't change any settings." Right after he said that the truck in front of them exploded, they all duck for cover, now everyone is alarmed. The vehicle stops moving.
Soldier 3 yells. "Contact left!"
Tony looks around and asks worriedly, "What going on?"
Soldier 3 leaves the truck to fire her weapon, but got quickly shot, down.
Soldier 1 yells to Soldier 2, "Jimmy, stay with Stark!" He goes outside and starts to shoot at the enemy but also gets shot.
Jimmy yells at Stark as he pushes his shoulder down, "Get down." Tony quickly obeys not wanting to get shot and killed. While Soldier 2 is loading his gun, he yells out, "Son of a Bitch!" He turns to leave the truck and leave Tony alone.
Tony sees him about to leave and yells fearfully out to him, "Wait, wait, wait! Give me a gun!"
Jimmy yells through the window to him, "Stay here!" He turns to shoot but a bomb hits the ground near him, it explodes, killing him.
Tony still in the truck, hears a ringing in his ear because of the bomb then recovers and leaves the truck to see destruction outside, bullets being shot everywhere, bombs going off in the background, one goes off in the background, one goes off near him and starts running foreword, smoke everywhere. Another bomb goes off and he quickly jumps for cover behind a rock, leaning against it, he takes out his phone to call help then a missile lands few feet from him, he looks at it, beeping meaning it's about to go off, and quickly notices the name on it 'STARK INDUSTRIES', he shouts in fear, standing up. The missile goes off, he gets hit, making him fly back and land hard on the ground, blood starts sweeping through his shirt, shows that he has on protective vest, but still got injured, lays his head back down. Tony got hit with sharps of the missile, faintly hearing voices while going unconscious.

Night: Cave
When Tony came to, he notices the bag over his head and sees a bright light, voices of the enemy around him. Suddenly the bag gets ripped off his head, he's blinded for moment before seeing his surrounding and notices the men that captured him and that they are in some sort of a cave, guns pointed at him from behind and to his left a man is reading from a piece of paper, in front-theirs a man videotaping them. Tony's covered in blood, sweat and dirt from the attack, wrapped around his chest is bandages in the area where he got hit, blood still coming through. Tony notices in that moment, life won't be the same.
