Agent Coulson placed something on the hinges of the locked door leading to the subbasement lab. Pepper’s pass code wasn’t working for some reason, and none of them wanted to waste time trying to figure out why. “Oh, what’s that?” she asked. “Like, a thing that’s going to pick the lock?”

“You might want to take a few steps back,” Coulson said, and did exactly that himself.

Everyone retreated around the corner of the stairwell and crouched down. Coulson pressed a button and the door blew off its hinges. Pepper thought, not for the first time, that maybe she was in the wrong line of work.

Agent Coulson led the group through the smoking doorway and into the corridor beyond. Pepper noticed the security camera staring down at them from one corner of the ceiling. If Tony was here, would he be watching them? Would Stane?

The huge laboratory ahead was dark, lit only by the blinking lights of the automated machinery, which filled the room almost to overflowing. It had been a long time since Pepper had been down here, and everything looked different—sinister.

“Tony?” she called tentatively. “Obadiah?”

Something moved in the darkness. Pepper jumped. All the agents drew their guns and swung around. Coulson shone a flashlight in that direction.

But it was only a battered suit of armor—apparently the one Tony had used to escape his kidnappers.

“What’s that?” Coulson asked.

“New project,” Pepper replied. “You shouldn’t even be seeing it.”

“Looks pretty old to me,” another of the agents commented.

“I wasn’t talking about the armor,” Coulson said, “I was talking about the empty hooks next to it.”

Pepper looked at the hooks, perplexed. Just at that moment, something grabbed one of the agents at the rear of the group and yanked him into the darkness.
