Tony Stark is trying to figure out why he suddenly lost control of himself during his speech at the U.N. Headquarters, where he threatened the Latverian Embassador severely (as told in Avengers #500); Tony speaks about the matter with his friend Happy Hogan (Pepper Pott's husband).
The Board of Directors at Stark Enterprises is outraged about the U.N. incident, and begins talking about changing the company's name. Suddenly, Iron Man crashes through the window and kills all the members (!). Pepper Potts and Happy saved their lives miraculously since they were stranded in the elevator.
Meanwhile, Tony's ex-girlfriend Rumiko Fujikawa with a friend, returns from Japan to help Tony.
