The next day when Tony got his bearings he flew away wearing his suit. He needed some air and wanted to eat burger and doughnut. As he was eating while sitting on the roof of the fast food joint, Fury appeared out of nowhere and instructed him to come down.
"I told you I won't join your superhero boy band. You already have Bruce. Last I remember I was rejected." Tony said while sitting in the cafe opposite to Fury.
"Bruce told me that you have palladium poisoning and your days are numbered." Fury said instead.
"I know. I have been trying to use every known element. Every combination and permutation possible. There is no replacement to it." Tony said
"And I am here to tell you that you haven't tried everything possible." Fury replied. "We have much to talk about Mr. Stark. Let's go to your home." Fury added.
After reaching Tony's place, they could see there were repairing being done. It was probably Bruce who ordered it. "Hello Bruce. How are you holding up?" Fury said after having a handshake with him.
"Well I can't complain. Tony gives me everything I want." Bruce shrugged and said without taking any note of the emotions of Tony.
"Hey we are here to talk about me. You said I didn't try all possible elements. What do you mean by that?" Tony interjected.
Fury then told him of Howard's invention and said that only Tony could complete his works. Tony didn't believe him as he always felt his father was a cold and calculative man. Fury didn't reply to that and instead gave him a box of archives that was left by Howard for Tony.
"Howard was the founder of SHIELD, so in a way your well being is our responsibility. Find a cure soon Tony. I will always keep an eye on you. I have told Bruce to assist you on this new research. He will be your babysitter till you find a result." Fury said before leaving.
Tony opened the archives and soon found out his unfinished notes and a video where Howard saying that the model of the Stark Expo was the future. He ended the video saying Tony was his best creation. Tony got emotional by that as he felt that he might have misunderstood his father.
"Seems like you misunderstood your father." Bruce said from behind.
"Master Stark your father seems like a good man. Bruce didn't get to see his father for a long time. A family's love is immense." Alfred added while bringing drinks for them. Tony just smiled and didn't say anything while Bruce felt a little sad remembering his parents.
"We will need to bring this model of Stark Expo. It might be the key to your problem." Bruce said.
"Yes we do. Jarvis tell Drift to bring out the car. We are going to take a ride." Tony said.
As they went outside, a white sports Audi car came driving by itself. "Drift take me to the headquarters of Stark Industries" Tony said.
"Hop in. It's good to make a round" a voice said from car. Drift was the name given to his Audi car which got transformed with the help of the Cube.
After going to Stark Industries he took the model of the Stark Expo and tried apologizing to Pepper for his deeds. As his recent deeds had been outrageous and it had put too much pressure in the company and her. After a small talk he came back.
"Jarvis scan the model and give me a digital wire frame of it" Tony said. After the scan was done he rotated the projection.
"Remove the shrubs, trees, buildings, parks and exits." Bruce added while looking at the model.
"That's what I was thinking. Take the frame of streets and lanes as protons and neutrons and add it to the center" Tony continued to it. The whole model now looked like an atom model.
"Enlarge it" Bruce commanded. The whole atom model looked stunning. There was a silence. Alfred who was looking into it finally joked "Congratulations for winning the next year's Nobel Prize."
"We don't have the technology to synthesize it." Jarvis said again.
"We have work to do fellas. Time to break this house down." Tony said getting up excitedly.
After a day's hard work and tearing half of the home down they finally built the necessary machine to make the new element.
"We should go, live in New York. John is there. He might need help. He is handling the empire alone." Bruce said after making the machine.
"You are right. California looks boring now and this house is almost ruined" Tony said.
After a hard work and destroying more of his property he finally was able to create a new element. Jarvis informed that his arc reactor could be replaced now with this new element. It was more efficient and totally clean. Tony jumped with joy as he had finally found the cure.

In the mean time following the events in Monaco, Justin Hammer managed to free Ivan from prison. And cut a deal with him for making suits while Justin would provide the necessary equipment and arrangements. Ivan said that he could help him making drones instead of suits. As that would be more safe.
Hammer accepted this proposal instantly and finally decided on showing his creation in the Stark Expo with that help of Ivan. But Ivan had other plans, he had a thirst for revenge against Tony. So he installed a remote inside the drone suit to control them. The only difference in this world was that there were larger number of drones than in than in the original world. Tony's powers in Monaco scared him a bit and he wanted to have a proper protection this time.
The next day in the Stark Expo Hammer presented the drone suits. Even Rhodes joined in the presentation. At the moment of presentation Tony got a call from Ivan saying that he would take revenge for all the bad things that happened to him due to Tony's family.
"Bruce we need to go. Time to suit up." Tony said.
"Are you sure you want to use the new core? We didn't even have a test run" Bruce said.
"Doesn't matter. Pepper is in the Expo." Tony said while suiting up. "Drift you drive towards the expo for damage control. Bruce you need to find the location of Ivan. We need to shut him down." Tony said.
"Yes, Batwing let's go we have work to do" Bruce said after he sat on the pilot seat. Like Drift, Batwing too was a transformer, thanks to the Cube. They both flew away after that. Bruce had a new suit which was made as a combination of metal and Kevlar.
Tony landed in the event and said to Rhodes " We need to get these people out of here. It's not safe"
"What? Why? What happened" Rhodes said with guilt as he felt he had betrayed Tony after letting Justin modify his suit.
"Ivan is alive. He is behind the drones here and he is coming after us. Justin where is Ivan?". Justin who was still giving presentations was shocked about hearing this. Justin had made sure that nobody knew of Ivan but now Tony knew. Justin was sweating inside.
"Tony I don't know what you are talking about." Justin denied on the spot.
"Tony we have target locked." Rhodes said from behind.
"Who is the target?" Tony asked.
"It's you. Run Tony" Rhodes shouted as all the drones had missiles and guns pointing on him. Tony had to fly away because there were people around the event and he didn't want people to die in crossfire.
The firing of bullets caused people to panic and run away. As Tony flew away, Bruce came and confronted Justin.
"Where's Ivan. I will give to 10 seconds to answer. After that your fingers will start coming off." Batman asked him.
"Hey I told already I don't have any clue. We need to control the drones somebody might have hacked it. It might be even you who wants me to be in bad press." Justin said.
"9..8.."
"I need my lawyer." Justin continued.
"6..5.."
"Fine fine. He is in the old warehouse of Hammer Industries" Justin was trembling finally said.
Bruce climbed up to the Batwing who was hovering nearby and flew away to the location given by Justin. He needed to stop Ivan and reboot Rhode's suit. Bruce couldn't hack into the suit as it was on a private server.
He went inside the warehouse after knocking down the security. As he went inside the control room he saw there was no Ivan. Bruce took out his phone and said
"Toolbox hack into the server and shut down all drones and reboot Rhodes' suit". The mobile immediately transformed into a 4 legged robot with 2 hands. Toolbox put his hands on the ports of the CPU and the screen of the main computer changed and showed various command prompts. After few seconds Toolbox finally said
"I have rebooted Rhodes' suit and stopped the drones but these drones are rigged to blow later. We will have to manually go to the scene and disable it." Toolbox said.
"Dammit. Tony did you hear that? You will have to lead the drones away from people. There is no Ivan here. He might be coming after you. I am on the way." Batman said.
Tony who was standing in front of Rhodes as he was been rebooted heard what Bruce said. As Rhodes suit came online they were ready to lead the drones away but as they were about to fly away Ivan wearing a new and improved suit which covered the whole body came flying down.
"It's good to be back." Ivan said as he took out his electrified lashes. These lashes were much longer and thicker than the last ones.
