"How did you know she was lying?" Tony asked Mera.
"Being a princess and handling politics for such a long time you end to pick up some things."
"Well whatever! What is his next plan?" Tony asked.
"He wants to kidnap and kill the President. The Vice-President is on the side of the old corporations and he will help them vilify your inventions later. In addition his daughter is handicapped so he has dealings with Killian too."
"Such politics. Much wow." Tony said.
"Where is Killian now?"
"In a villa in Miami. This is where the actor Mandarin is kept. Most of the time Killian works from the there and does his experiments on the veterans who willingly subject themselves to the experiments."
"We can go and beat the shit out of KIllian." Tony said.
"And what will you do after that? What if he deletes all research while you both have a fight. He can accuse you easily as he has a political background. So no you can't touch him. At least till he kidnaps the president. After he does that, you can go and kill him. The world now thinks that you are dead. Keep it that way. Killian won't come for Maya as she was here when the missile attacked." Mera said.
"Wouldn't that put the President at risk?" Tony asked.
"We will have to take this risk. Since they involved politics, we too can involve our politics." Mera said. Tony contemplated on it and finally decided.
"Seems like I need to be John for few days." Tony said as he was reminiscing on the lie of John's death last year. Tony called up Rhodes and he told his whole plan and the main person behind Mandarin.
"Tony you are asking me to let the President getting kidnapped. Are you are sure about that? And I have to give away the armor if I get caught? Won't that be dangerous?"
"Don't worry buddy I will look over all the processes and make sure nobody gets hurt. You come to Jurassic Park. I will make modifications in he armor."
"Fine I will trust you on this one."
The next day, the media had a field day as Tony was supposedly dead. Even though they didn't find the body many believed that he was dead. Rhodes came to the island the next day with the armor on the pretext of searching for Tony.
Rhodes was suprised to see Aquaman and Mera but was happy that they both saved Tony.
"What modifications are you going to do?" Rhodes asked.
"I will make it a transformer. Normally I don't do it because it feels weird to be inside of another living being but you will have to deal with it. "
Tony touched the armor with the All Spark and it immediately transformed. Rhodes named it Iron Patriot. Tony then directed what it needed to do and not raise any suspicions.
The story followed the same way as Iron Man 3. Rhodes was caught by a man who was injected with Extremis Virus. Tony immediately know of Rhodes from the Iron Patriot transmissions.
Rhodes later was taken to the villa of Miami. Tony instantly flew over to save Rhodes. He knew he had to save Rhodes sneakily as he didn't want to raise suspicions of Killian. Until the President get kidnapped and Vice-President's shady deeds come to light. Tony had been collecting evidence on the Vice President with the help of Jarvis and he would soon have more than enough.
At night Tony finally came wearing the Mark 42 suit. The security wasn't so tight so he easily sneaked inside after making some guards unconscious. He found Rhodes tied to a bed.
"Took you long enough. They took away Iron Patriot and did some modifications on it." Rhodes said.
"They wish they could modify IP. That was the plan, wasn't it? Now let them kidnap the President. You should go for the Vice-President. We don't want the bigger fish to run away now. Do we?"
Rhodes was able to escape after that and went to his trusted military people to make sure the Vice President wouldn't run away. Meanwhile, the next day, Killian's right hand man was able to join the President in Air Force One while wearing Iron Patriot.
After hijacking the plane he let the President wear the suit and jumped right off Air Force one. The plane was in the air without pilots as they was killed by the man. But the only silver lining in the whole incident was that the plane was going to crash land in an ocean and Tony had exactly the right people to handle it.
"Arthur, Mera need help here."
"Let the plane come down. I will use water to slow down the plane in it's descend. It will still be a bumpy ride though for them." Mera said.
"Doesn't matter. Just keep them alive. It will help you both to announce yourselves to this world too."
The man who dived off the plane landed in the beach nearby only to see a man standing wearing a golden colored armor and a trident. Before he could react Arthur stabbed him with the trident and pinned him to the ground.

The man didn't utter a single word and held the trident he was stabbed with his hand. His skin glowed red and it looked as if the inner part of his body was on fire. His hands started getting heated up as he touched the trident. After half a minute or so the trident still looked the same.
"Even the old Gods couldn't put a scratch on the Sacred Trident. Do you think you can do so?" As he said that the water from the ocean came like a wave and doused on the man. The fire in his hands immediately went off.
Meanwhile, Air Force One was approaching the ocean pretty fast. As it was approaching, the people in the nearby bridge saw a huge wave of 100 metres of water coming out of the ocean by itself and it formed like a funnel.
The water funnel caught the Air Force and enveloped it's whole body. This led to the Air Force One slowing down significantly. By the time it reached the ocean it slowed down more. But since the plane was heavy it still entered the ocean.
The water in the ocean around the Air Force one formed a spherical hole while the funnel enveloping the plane still continued to slowing it down. After few more metres the plane finally stopped.
The the plane was brought on the surface of the ocean slowly. Tony who was nearby in his suit sighed in relief. This was a huge gamble he just played and it had paid off. Mera who did the hard work finally floated above.
"Thank you Queen of Atlantis, I owe you one."
"You owe both of us." Mera said as she was looking at the beach. Then she went to rescue the people from inside the plane. All the officials and the staff were able to come out safely. Even though some were bruised none were injured too much. Even Tony helped in the rescue process.
All the staff members were grateful to Mera. They recognized who Mera was as like SHIELD they too had watched the movies of John as it was the protocol now a days.
Next they both went to the beach to see the man still being pinned down by the Sacred Trident while Arthur sitting next to the man drenched in water.
"Now! Tell me where's Killian?"
The people on the bridge who saw this started clicking pictures and videos. And some even live broadcasted it in Youtube and Facebook.
"Isn't that King and Queen of Atlantis? They are real!" A man exclaimed.
"What's so surprising about that? Wasn't that already predicted and taken for granted by almost everybody? I gotta say Queen Mera looks so hot. Arthur is a lucky man being a half human." said another man in the sidewalk.
"Shh.. lower your voice. They don't look at us in a very good eye. Be careful if their army one day comes and kidnaps you back to Atlantis."
The people were discussing among themselves when Tony was interrogating the man. The man refused to answer no matter what.
"Well it doesn't matter. I was just playing with you. The suit that you sent the President with is already controlled. You have lost the war before it even started." Tony said with a victorious smile. The man who hadn't spoken a single word finally looked shaken. Now he understood that were being played from the beginning.
"Now since the President is captured we need to rescue him and show us our presentable face. Don't you think?" Arthur said as he pulled the trident out and directly stabbed at the head of the man killing him.
"Yes it's time to work."
They waited till evening when the tracker of Iron Patriot finally stopped flying.
"That's an old harbor of Roxxon Corporations. Figures. Let's go." Tony flew away while Mera and Arthur dived in the water and swam away fast. The people in the bridge who saw all this from distance cheered. They finally got to see the new superhero.
As all the three reached the harbor they saw the Iron Patriot suit tied by steel ropes high up in the air. "This Killian guy has a thing for dramatics. I am sure he would have done great as a movie director." Arthur said.
"I second that." Tony said. They were able to see many guards all around the harbor. There were way too many for three of them to handle at the same time.
"Tony we need back up." Mera said.
"Backup is 2 minutes out. We need to free the President first. IP can take him away."
"You go free the President. Until then we engage these people. Let's see how powerful are their mutations." Arthur said.
Tony flew away to the President to free him. As the guards saw an man in suit flying towards the President they immediately started shooting at it. But Arthur and Mera soon took action. Since it was an harbor filled with water around it was basically a playground for them.
Mera used water to attack the guards who were injected with Extremis Virus. Since water lowered the temperatures of their bodies it proved more effective while Arthur used both water and his trident to kill the guards. Mera looked majestic with water spears around and throwing it to whoever came near her.
