"Hmm... Well you are speaking the truth though I am sorry but please forget about this meeting" Reaper said while still holding onto Ivan's head and let go after a minute after which even fell unconscious.
An hour later Ivan opened his eyes completely forgetting about what happened before he lost consciousness.
A guard drops of food. Someone's left a note about enjoying the potatoes. That would be easier if they were potatoes and not an explosive. Ivan places it beside the door and hides in the corner. *Boom* came the noise as the explosive breakes down the wall soothing Ivan to get out and in place of him a man enters, dressed like Ivan, down to the number. Ivan escapes. A guard notices that he is escaping and wants to stop him and says in French "Hé prisonnier! Arrêtes toi! Que fais-tu?" [Hey prisoner! Stop! What are you doing] and Ivan breaks his neck. More French shouting. There was definitely an "allez" [Go on] in there. Ivan gets knocked out. Two men grab him and take him somewhere where he awakens.
"Hey. There he is. There he is. What an absolute pleasure. Welcome. Oh goodness gracious. Can we get the handcuffs off my friend here? Forgive me, I'm sorry. I'm such a huge fan of yours. I didn't want to make a first impression like this. He's not an animal. Come on. He's a human being. Thank you." said Justin Hammer standing infront of Ivan
"Je te laisse pas avec lui." Henchman said in French [I am not leaving him with you.]
"Laisse-nous." Justin stated in French [Let us.]
"Je te laisse pas il est ouf." Henchmen said in French [ I am not leaving him, he is crazy.]
"Oui, oui. We're fine. My name is Justin Hammer. I'd like to do some business with you. Please sit. Dig in. What do we have today Jack?" Justin asked
"We have some salmon carpaccio." Jack said
"Salmon carpaccio. Anything you want here, we got it. I like my dessert first. I had this flown in from San Francisco. It's Italian though. Organic ice cream. I got a sweet tooth. Apparently you do too, for Tony Stark. What I saw you do to Tony Stark on that track, how you stepped up to him in front of God and everybody that was… Wow. You spoke to me with what you did. And I know that you knew that I'd be listening. This is why I couldn't bear to have you shipped off to God knows where. It would have been such a waste of talent. But if I might make a suggestion, you know, you don't just go and try to kill the guy. I think, if I may, you go after his legacy. That's what you kill. You and me, we are a lot alike in a lot of ways. The only difference between you and I is that I have resources. I think, if I may, you need my resources. Someone behind you, a benefactor. I'd like to be that guy." Justin gave the speech to Ivan trying to get him on his side." Если меня убьют, не буди меня. Лучше умереть, чем жить в своем мире." Ivan said in Russian [If I'm killed, don't wake me. It is better to die than to live in your world.]
"Okay. Do you speak English? Because I can get a translator. I don't know. Have you been understanding everything I'm saying?" Justin asked thinking that his speech was useless.
"Very good, man." Ivan said
"Very good, man." Justin repeated
"Very good, man." Ivan said again
" Hey!" Justin said as he poured a glass of champagne for himself and was going to pour another for Ivan but Ivan took the bottle directly from him
" Hey." Ivan said while clinking the bottle with Justin's glass.
" Yes?" Justin asked
"I want my bird." Ivan said
"A bird? You want a bird?" Justin asked in confusion
" I want my bird." Ivan said emphasizing on my.
"I can get you a bird. I can get you ten birds." Justin said
"I want my bird." Ivan said
"Well, okay. Nothing's impossible. I could… Are we talking about… Is this a bird back in Russia?" asked Justin hoping that it was not the case.

Pepper has been constantly on the phone with people trying to contain the news from putting Tony in a bad light she even did an on call interview with a news reader for this.
Mary beside her was also on phone dealing with others when Rhody came to the house and asked 'Where is he?"
"He didn't want to be disturb" Mary said
""In the lab, downstairs" Pepper stated as she knew Tony would never stop
Tony is sitting in a car in his workshop looking at holograms.
"Query complete sir. Anton Vanko was a Soviet physicist who defected to the United States in 1963.However, he was accused of espionage and was deported in 1967. His son, Ivan, who is also a physicist, was convicted of selling Soviet-era weapons grade plutonium to Pakistan, and served 15 years in Kopeisk prison. No further records exist." JARVIS states as Rhodey enters.
"Tony, you gotta get upstairs and get on top of this situation right now. Listen. I've been on the phone with the National Guard all day, trying to talk them out of rolling tanks up the PCH, knocking down your front door and taking these. They're gonna take your suits, Tony, okay? They're sick of the games. You said nobody else would possess this technology for 20 years. Well, guess what? Somebody else had it yesterday. It's not theoretical anymore. Are you listening to me? Are you okay?" Rhody asked
"Let's go." Tony said as he gets out the car. And falls.
" Hey, man. Hey, hey! You all right?" Rhodey said as he grabbed Tony helping him stand.
"Yeah, I should get to my desk." Tony said and Rhodey supports him. "See that cigar box?"
"Yeah." Rhodey said
" It's palladium." Tony stated while Rhodey help him sit on a chair.
Tony removes Arc Reactor and smoke was coming out of it. "Is that supposed to be smoking?" Rhodey asked
" If you must know, it's neutron damage. It's from the reactor wall."Tony stated as he already knew that Rhodey won't understand the severity of the situation.
"You had this in your body? And how about the high-tech crossword puzzle on your neck?" Rhodey asked as he saw the toxicity flowing in his veins
"Road rash. Thank you." Tony Replaces Arc Reactor and starts drinking green liquid again. "What are you looking at?"
" I'm looking at you. You wanna do this whole lone gunslinger act and it's unnecessary. You don't have to do this alone." Rhodey said
"You know, I wish I could believe that. I really do. But you've gotta trust me. Contrary to popular belief, I know exactly what I'm doing." Tony said
"Yeah, No" Kenichi said as he appeared in Tony's lab.
"What the heck? Who are you? How did you get here?" Rhodey asked in surprise.
"Kenichi! What are you doing here?" Tony asked
"What do you think? It's time to remove that thing from your chest"
