Return of the Crimson Dynamo

Chapter One, A very interesting encounter with a very interesting person

S.H.I.E.L.D Helicarrier

"I don't think I need to repeat myself to a level nine special ops agent," Fury said pacing the floor in front of a large oak desk. Behind the desk stood a young girl of about 17. She had skin as dark as chocolate and dark waist length hair that appeared over her cape. Her light blue eyes were focused on Fury," But I will anyway. Your mission, until I say otherwise," He looked at her still and rigid form," is to collect intelligence on Iron Man. Get me anything you discover. I want a monthly report. Understood?"

"Yes, sir," She replied sternly and he grinned. Her expression never wavered, never changed. She had to act as serious and as stern as possible.

"Good then you're dismissed," He replied and she left the room without another word.

A little below the famous Helicarrier flew two lone figures. One was a bit smaller than the other was and far more ahead as well. The larger, more buffer looking one, raced ahead.

"Hey Tony listen we've been out all night," Whined Rhodey as they looked out over the dark city of New York," Can we please call it a night now?"

Tony sighed as they continued to search the city. So far, nothing. He turned to look at War Machine," All right fine. One last round then we're done."

"Yahoo!" Screamed Rhodey as he spiraled ahead of his friend. Tony shook his head as he rushed to catch up with him. As he did, he was pelted with multiple small, piercing objects.

He grunted in pain as they continued to rain down on his armor," What's that?" He waited as the computer took its sweet time to identify what in the hell was hitting him," Now please!"

Computer analysis complete

"And?" Tony yelled as he put a force field up to try to protect himself. He looked around, but saw that Rhodey was nowhere around.

Target is shooting vibranium bullets

"What?" Tony screamed again, this time more in shock than anything else," Who's shooting?" He began to panic, but then thought better of it. He tried to calm himself down and was just about to dive down to see who was shooting at him when War Machine appeared," Rhodey? Is that you? Thank goodness!"

"About time," Rhodey exclaimed with a sly grin," I thought I had lost you. What's the problem man?" He watched as Tony held up his shield, but nothing came.

The two turned to face each other and Rhodey rose an eyebrow," Okay seriously how did you not see that? I was getting vibranium shot at me." He felt a little exasperated, since it seemed Rhodey didn't believe him.

The two friends shared a look and finally Rhodey sighed, giving in, "Fine, let's so investigate this person. Together though," He wanted to make sure Tony didn't entirely think he was lying. But, he was also curious about this person.

Tony nodded and the two flew down into the city. As soon as they did, they instantly regretted it. Standing in a Stark International Warehouse, was a large look-alike of War Machine. Except, this didn't look like armor. It looked more like an exoskeleton.

A street lamp shone brightly down on the armor. Which was a bright crimson color. He looked like he was carrying two large metal crates.

Just as Iron Man and War Machine landed the crimson anti-Iron, Man turned to face them. In addition, what the two friends saw, surprised them both.

"The Crimson Dynamo?" They shouted together.

The ex-villain sighed in defeat, wishing that he hadn't run into the heroes," Yes, it is me. Ze Crimson Dynamo!" In addition, with that, he attempted to fly away. But somehow, the jets on the bottom of his feet wouldn't work.

"Well then you wouldn't mind explaining why you're stealing from Stark International then," Cried a soprano voice.

The boys, all-curious to know who the lovely lady was, turned to look at the sky as a heroine in blue landed not far from Iron Man and War Machine.

She wore a navy blue costume with a cape connected to it. The body of the costume itself began right above the chin and reached her feet, which were covered in knee-high boots. She also wore gloves and a mask that only covered her eyes.

Her long, dark, ebony hair flew in the breeze. And her blue eyes twinkled. The heroine, at least in Tony's opinion, was hotter than any other female he had ever seen. And that wasn't really a lot since Tony dated hot girls.

"Who are you?" Tony exclaimed, asking the question that was on everybody's mind. The heroine just scoffed, as if it was no big deal and they should know exactly who she was.

"I suppose I should probably introduce myself," She spoke with an air of sarcasm," The name's Lady Blue Hood."

"Yes well, that's all very nice but," The Crimson Dynamo spoke as some miniaturized guns appeared from his left arm," I've got a schedule to keep."

And with that, he began shooting at the three as he flew away. Iron Man and War Machine used force fields while Lady Blue Hood dodged them. They attempted to follow him but none knew where he had flown.

"I have a psychic lock on him right now," Lady Blue Hood spoke, putting a finger to her temple," But I don't think we can pursue him. He's heavily armed."

"Then we'll continue again tomorrow night," Tony, said and the two heroes turned to look at him," Do you think you can keep a psychic lock on him til then?"

Suddenly, a door opened from a nearby building. The heroes turned to look as Obadiah Stane walked out of the Stark International building. He looked like he was about ready to explode, which didn't need to be seen from the street light.

"Who are you people? And what are you doing here?" He spat, sounding more furious than he looked," Guards! Guards!"

"I think I can," Lady Blue Hood sputtered as the three shared a concerned look.

Then, just as suddenly as the heroes appeared, they flew into the sky. Stane watched them go and clenched his fists so hard that his knuckles turned white.

Finally, moments after the heroes left, two buff looking guards appeared wearing black outfits and shades.

"Yes Mr. Stane, sir?" The one to his right asked anxiously.

"You called for us, sir?" The one to his left inquired and Stane growled under his breath.

"Nothing," He sputtered," Just nothing." The guards shared a look as he angrily stomped back into the building. They shrugged, and then followed him.
