Tony could hear the reporters talking amongst themselves in the room just through the door. Pepper stood in the corner shooting daggers at him, he couldn't blame her. She had been against this idea from the outset, ever since he returned from captivity she had known that something was going on. If he had a dollar for every time she had almost caught him in the suit he would be an even richer man than he was now. She was against this conference, though that was largely as Tony hadn't told anyone what it was actually about. They all had their theories, Obadiah Stane stood in the other corner a smile in his eyes, albeit not on his face. Obadiah had his own suspicions about what this meeting was about, suspicions that would make him and the board very happy people. Tony sighed, tapping the miniature arc reactor that resided in his chest. A constant reminder of the world he had helped create. A world where his weapons weren't used to protect, but to destroy.

It seemed like the vicious cycle was doomed to continue. Five years ago the Iron Man had entered the scene. Tackling terrorist and criminal elements across the world that were misusing Stark Industries technology for their own gains, technology that Tony was still trying to trace to who had sold it. Shutting down the R&D and production of Weapons systems was supposed to cut these groups off at the source. Five years later he still seemed to be coming across weapons, and variants of weapons he had designed years ago. Prototypes that hadn't even made it into production. Now someone had made a cheap knockoff of the Iron Man suit. Not nearly as sophisticated as the real deal, but still powerful enough that it was tearing the country apart. 

Tony walked over to the double door and sighed, placing one hand on either door he stood up straight and pushed his way through. Smiling as there was a flash of cameras, people went quiet as he walked in. Pepper on his left, the good angel. Obadiah on his right, the devil.  Walking straight forward to the podium he flashed a smile as he tapped the microphone, feedback going through the room for a moment before he spoke. [color=fff200]"Alright everyone. Please be seated."[/color] He cleared his throat as holographic images appeared behind him. 

[color=fff200]“It has come to my attention that there have been reports of Iron Men in Trasnia. In the previous weeks the extremist rebels have been using Stark Industries technology, and have now come out using a variant of the Iron Man suit. A suit that many have assumed is my technology.”[/color] He paused, clearing his throat. [color=fff200]“I can now confirm-”[/color]  Tony could feel the eyes of Obadiah and Pepper burning into his back. [color=fff200]“-That the hero known as Iron Man is an employee of Stark Industries.”[/color]  He was almost blinded as all the cameras in the room started to flash, reporters trying to shout over each other to try and gain his attention. He raised his hand to silence them, raising his voice slightly over the din. [color=fff200]“You know if you guys won’t let me talk you may as well go home-”[/color]  

Tony smirked as the reporters managed to compose themselves.. [color=fff200]“-Thankyou, in order to preserve the peace, and ensure lasting security of our assets I have filed patents for the technologies that make up the Iron Man suit. I am also resuming development of Stark Weapons technologies, with an exclusive S.H.I.E.L.D contract with a focus on protecting people from advanced and enhanced individuals, because let's be honest not everyone checks the patent office before robbing a bank..” [/color] 

There was a thunderous noise, and a clang as the Iron Man suit landed kneeling beside him. Coming through a hole in the roof. Standing up straight there was a round of applause as the suit stood there. The programming hadn’t been simple. Trying to get the suit to work while being run solely by Jarvis and without a pilot wasn’t as easy as he had hoped it would be, being that it was designed as a suit and not a drone so the parts didn’t work the same.[color=fff200] “Finally as a warning to those who pervert my technology. I’m Tony freaking Stark, I’ve been near bankruptcy. Declared dead, captured and imprisoned. You don’t scare me, lay down [i]my[/i] weapons. Lay down all your weapons, and if not-”[/color]  he slapped his hand onto the shoulder of the Iron Man suit, clasping it. [color=fff200]“-I’m sending my friend here for you.”[/color] 

The suit turned around and started walking out. Tony pulled a pair of sunglasses from his pocket, placing the on his face. [color=fff200]“No questions.”[/color] He then turned and followed the suit.
