Stark Industries! The main HQ of a Mr. Tony Stark, AKA: Iron Man, AKA: The playboy, genius etc etc. It has been the former head of weapons development, until Tony's turn around that is. A car drove up to it and parked right outside... And a man in a military uniform stepped out, carrying a folder. Looking rather serious as he entered the building. 'He's not gonna like this...'

Handily, Iron Man shot towards his tower at that moment; meaning to briefly prepare himself before he shot towards Connecticut. Touching down on the balcony adorning his name on the side, he wandered into the building, as machinery slowly removed the pieces of his armor... ...to reveal said genius-playboy-billionaire-philanthropist; rubbing his neck a touch. "...JARVIS, just prepare a packed lunch; I have an appointment in Connecticut very soon." "I understand, sir. By the way, you have a visitor coming up the elevator soon.""Who would that be?" Tony hummed. "Colonel James Rhodes.""...Rhodey..."

And as soon as he said that, the elevator opened up. And Rhodey stepped out into Tony's extravagant lounge. "Tony, glad I caught you."

"...thought you'd be busy, Rhodey." Tony mused, as he wandered behind the bar located within this lounge. "Sorry, but I can't stay for long; the meeting at Ravencroft was cut short on account of a prison outbreak and gooey suits busting out into New York. I'm headed for Connecticut to get some answers."

"I got a bit of time off, though it sounds like you're busy as usual." He tossed the folder on the counter. "Just thought you might know about this." Some pictures split out of it a little, showing a part of a picture of a familiar suit of armor...

Seeing that, Tony picked up the folder and began reading through it. "...where'd you get these from?" he inquired.

There were pictures of men in suits of armor that almost resembled Iron Man, only in a different color. "A few favors and red tape, but with these guys parading across the city, it wasn't too hard." He came up. "That armor's way too similar to be a knock off of the real thing...not that I'm accusing you."

Tony's eyes narrowed somewhat. "...someone's been leaking designs, huh..." he mused; as far as he was concerned, the Iron Man outfit was not something meant for mass production, or to be sold as weapons for corporations to use... "...first the breakout, and now this." With a sigh, Tony set the folder aside. "You have any idea if whoever those suits are running around with are affiliated with SHIELD in any way? They should be the only ones who have any clue about the Iron Man armor apart from you, me and Pepper."

"I'm not sure. Though I've heard these guys were hunting after Mutants." He sat down. "Maybe they're with that MRD unit." Even though Rhodey was in the military, there were so many secrets he was not privy to.

"...MRD..." Tony hummed, as he began pacing a bit about whilst pondering this. He had negotiated with some of their higher-ups, just so they wanted to buy weapons in order to deal with mutants. He had been very tempted to resort to aggressive negotiations, but he had calmly explained that Stark Enterprises no longer dealt in weapons manufacturing. Obviously, some people couldn't take the hint. "...even so, I can't deal with this right now." Tony murmured. "Like I said, we had a trail on the computer used to hack into Ravencroft's security network, and if we don't act, we might lose sight of the perpetrator."

"That right?" He closed the folder and looked over. "So, who broke out of Ravencroft?"

"I went over the records earlier..." Tony mused, as he went to the bar to pour himself a drink. "...the only ones we failed to keep locked up were, according to the list of prisoners, the mass murderer Cletus Kasady, one Eddie Brock, and a couple of Spider-Man's adversaries." Humming, he inspected the filled glass. "There were also these strange suits that resembled Spider-Man that escaped into New York. Spider-Man are dealing with them, along with a couple other heroes."

He stood up and came over. Hoping it wasn't alchoholic. "That right? Who's with him?" He was a bit surprised that Spider-Man would work with other heroes, and wondered who they'd be.

"...an acquaintance of mine, plus the same man detailed in that New Mexico incident Coulson told me about." Tony hummed. "They should be able to handle things over there... in the meantime, though, I've got Connecticut to worry about." Then, he held the glass out to Rhodey. "Care for a sip?"

"No thanks..." He walked past him. "And you're going in by yourself? You aren't pushing yourself again, are you?"
