"Don't try to be modest, Tony."
"And we're back, to The Joshua Evans Show! Here talking with billionaire genious, Tony Stark also known as Iron Man!." Joshua said to the cameras, as the studio audience cheered for Tony, who was in the chair beside his. Joshua was a good-looking man, (A/N: not as good looking as Tony though :) with shortish brown hair, and a casual suit, if it's possible.
Tony smiled, as they returned from the commercial break. He looked over at Joshua Evans, who honestly, was a freaky asshole-ish interviewer, who didn't deserve his own show. But, he was always so popular who giving out the truth and such. He was like the Simon for television interviews. Everybody loved to hate him.
"So, Mr. Stark..." Joshua began. Tony forced a smile. Honestly, he'd hated this guy a while. After announcing that he was stopping the weapon making, Joshua Evans' show was one of the first and most harsh reports out there. " Tell us, tell us, how are you?"
"I'm pretty good. Thanks" he nodded.
"Yeah?" Joshua nodded as well, and smiled.
"Yeah."
'Alright"..Joshua laughed. "Well, why don't you tell us a little about the 'press conference'. I mean, really. We've all been extremely curious and all. And you've only said so much." he said, looking at Tony as he shook his head to move the loose strand of hair from his face. "And we're all curious on how Ironman was created."
"Uhh." Tony began, searching for what to say. " Well, you know..I've said this probably a million times before, but uh, I've had a chance..to..c-change my point of view. I guess." He didn't really know what to say. He swared, if Joshua said anything about him, he'd punch him.
Tony hadn't remembered who this guy was, or what was the show, until they arrived at the studios. Tony looked over to the side, where Pepper was, softly smiling at him to continue. "Uh.." he tried to remember where he was going with this. But, she was distracting. She looked good. She looked really good. And he hadn't realized that he'd been staring off at her for some time now. Not like Tony ever got nervous before, but for some reason he wanted to make sure he watched what he was saying. Anything misinterpreted could and would leave Joshua Evans with another 'riveting' top story.
"Tony..." Joshua began, Tony biting his lip as he looked back at him.
"Yeah, right. " he said, getting back to topic. "Um, where was I? Oh, yes..point of views. "
Joshua nodded, listening carefully.
"I saw...young Americans dying,because of what I did. I know what I said at the first press conference after I got back sort of...ohhh, I don't know...rattled everything." Joshua nodded again as he continued ," but I finally understood, you know? This was something I was doing wrong. I..I knew that there was more to be done than just building weapons.."
Before he could go on, Joshua decided to but-in. "And that's where IronMan comes in.."
"Yeah, well. First 'IronMan' was just a means for escape.." he said quietly.
They hadn't known much about his escape. Probably nothing more than he made it out some how.
"And how does Iroman tie in with all this? How'd you...how'd you escape?" he asked curiously.
The thoughts thinking back to his time spent in Afghanistan, weren't pleasent. "Ironman...uhm. See, after they'd taken me.. they were forcing me to ..build a bomb. The Jericho, the one I was there presenting..." his voice trailed off at the end of his sentence, " but, I figured we wouldn't get out of there unless we did someth-"
"Who's we?" Joshua asked suddenly. Tony stopped and gave him a look. Right, he'd said 'we'.
At first, he stayed quiet, but he hesitantly began after a few moments. "Uhm, we. As in, me and Yinsen."
This was primarily the first time Yinsen had ever been introduced to his story. And Joshua gave him a confused look. Looks like another good headload of information the great Tony Stark was going to give away.
"Yinsen?" Joshua asked, confused.
"Yeah." Tony stopped, a licked his lips a little, before going on.
"Yinsen was there. He was the one who saved me. "
Joshua nodded, letting him continue. "And..he was there helping me create the missle, that they thought we were making.."
"How'd the whole.. idea come up between you guys?"
" Well.." he sighed softly to himself, " first of all, we knew that even if I created the missle, they'd never let us go, like they said they would. So, I drew up the plans. I wanted to get out of there, and I wanted him to get out of there. He told me he had a family to uh, get back to. And I promised him that we'd follow the plan and make it out.."
"So, you and Yinsen began constructing this...ironsuit..while everybody else thought it was just the jericho.." Joshua said, in an questioning kind of tone. Tony nodded.
"Exactly."
Joshua grinned. "Interesting. And they never saw it coming, did they. So, you guys finished the suit..and then what happened?"
What was this, like 20 questions or something? " After the suit was finished, we used it t-"
"Who was in the suit?" he didn't let Tony finish.
Tony bit his lip. This guy was seriously the peppiest, most annoying, man right now. "I was."
"And Yinsen was...?"
"Yinsen was..." he didn't how to explain this. "Not in the suit."He didn't want to talk about Yinsen. He'd never come up before. He was his friend, he'd saved his life. And he wanted to make it out together. Seeing his friend die like that hurt him so much. And he didn't want to relive anything. It'd had taken so long to coax Tony's thoughts out of the dark, but it seemed like Joshua Evans could do it amazingly. Tony felt a sick feeling in his stomach, remembering the cave, and the attack, and every single night sleeping on a hard cot. He swallowed, rubbing the back of his neck with his hand, nervously. It'd be horrible for him to start to break down on stage...on live television...
But he felt if they kept on any longer, the little boy inside of him would bust loose.
His voice sounded a bit shaky, but he quickly cleared his throat to cover it.
" I see." Joshua said, a bit confused. " So...what ever happened to Yinsen?"
Okay, that was it. Tony could almost not take it anymore. "Yinsen...went back to see his family,a fter all." He said, licking his lips again. He didn't need to say more. People could interpret that whatever way they wanted, but he knew what he meant. By the look on her face, Pepper knew it too. "It was...part of the plan."
"Moving on." Joshua said quickly, right after Tony finished his sentence. He swore that man had a bad case of ADD or something. Tony sighed softly, looking out at all the people. "So. You built this thing in a cave, and managed to escape. And once you got home, even though everyonw said you were crazy...I knew you were up to something. I just knew it."
Of course he knew it. As Tony recalled turning on the television, Joshua had rambled on about the possibilities, all of them completely stupid.
"You perfected this thing and became a superhero."
"Well, I woul-"
"Don't try to be modest, Tony." Joshua replied quickly, again before Tony could finish.
Tony went quiet, then laughed nervously.
Joshua put on his stupid wide grin, and looked to the cameras. "A very interesting chat with Tony Stark everybody! We'll be back right after this commercial break. Don't you go anywhere! More to come on this man's story after this.."
