Tony took another gulp of his whiskey and slumped back in his chair, a look of failure on his face. Tony had reached his lowest moment in relation to his past transgressions as Iron Man, the incident involving the ambassador, and more.

Reaching for his helmet, Stark stared back at the faceplate.

"Iron-Man ol' buddy, I thought I knew you. But I don't." Tony trailed off as he tried to stand only to fall back into his seat. "I don't know you at all..."

"Just someone to blame Tony Stark's troubles on." Stark sighed, setting the helmet on the desk. "Sure— It was you that Justin hammer caused to kill that ambassador to discredit Stark International."

He got up to pour himself a cup of whiskey, reaching for one of the many bottles that were arranged on his desk.

"But S.I. itself that'll have to suffer for the bad press.." Tony glared at the helmet once more before turning to look at a news article he had on his desk. The title said, 'IRON-MAN MURDERER.' ".. An' It's Tony Stark that's gotta live with the fact that He... I killed a man."
