Iron Man had to make sure the suit's external speakers weren't letting out the flood of curse words he let out watching the serpent he ripped the head off of not only regrow a head but grow larger in front of him.  In the distance he caught sight of three Doom looking robots flying in for assistance.  Which added to Tony's mind file under 'Why does Doom need an escort?'.  Suddenly though his distraction ended up hurting him as the serpent struck down.  Wrapping its strong mouth around his entire upper half.  The serpent pressed down, and Tony could hear his suit just squeak from the pressure.  He had to struggle to get an arm moved from facing out of the serpent's mouth to inside.

Once he could move his arms a bit more he fought hard to not get a first hand education in a magical serpent's internal organs.  Using one arm to grasp the side of the mouth to prevent himself from getting swallowed Tony moved a hand down the serpent's throat with a pulse laser generating in the palm.  “Eat this bitch...”  Tony snarled to himself as the fire caused the serpent to let out a horrifying hissing howl as Iron Man was freed.

Jetting himself out to avoid getting chomped on again Iron Man circled back around and with a bit of finesse grabbed the serpent's head, swinging it around and tying a knot in its body.  He pulled hard, hoping either to choke the serpent out for good, or repeat his head removal surgery trick.  Though before either could happen the serpent seemingly faded from not only his grasp but reality itself.  Leaving Iron Man confused and looking around wondering if he was tripping on something hard at the moment.  Finally he gently landed back on the party scene where things certainly looked a lot less fancy and festive.  Thankfully Victoria was fine, though she seemed rattled in ways Tony hoped she could shake off.

As he came up next to Doom Tony let the suit's helmet slide off as she thanked him.  “Hey if you can't rely on a friend with a multi-million dollar battle suit who can you trust?”  He joked, even though he wondered to himself if this was indeed the time or the place for such a thing.  The guy with the sword was there, as was Doom who looked like he had suit issues.  At least that's what it seemed like he had, Tony glanced over and mulled the details suspiciously as something about it didn't seem right.  Still he figured if nothing else he'll get answers another time.  Dealing with Doom shouldn't be his concern right now.

He talked to the Parringtons and let them know he was willing to help pay for any damages.  Their families were very long time friends, so it was the least Tony could do.  Tony didn't give himself a chance to talk to Victoria and make sure she was alright.  He kicked himself for it later, feeling like a dick for ignoring her when she was clearing having issues.  The brief moment Tony looked for Stane it was clear Stane ditched when everything went to Hell.  Thankfully though Pepper did likewise, but she sent a text to Tony asking if he was alright.  Tony smiled looking at his smartphone before putting it away and jetting off in the Iron Man suit.

“Jarvis send a text to Pepper Potts please, 'I'm fine, the suit handled great.  Just make sure you're at work tomorrow 9 am sharp.  PS Doom is still a dick.  L O L, okay thanks bye.'  Send.”
