Tony Stark | MCU

It's hard to tell how long Tony had been in that room, watching The History of Alpha Complex until it felt like his ears were going to start bleeding. Not because he had been fascinated, or even trying to remember details - he had memorized them pretty damn quickly, actually - but because it just felt...wrong. What they called a glitch kept coming back, and memories filtered in that made him question literally everything. Ultimately it had been his desire to leave more than the actual act of accepting what he was being told what drove him to just smile and nod when he was questioned again, and he was finally allowed to leave.

He doesn't make it far, though. As he walks, the sound of someone screaming stops him, and he's quick to look back in that direction. There's not a lot of time to think before he's moving forward, almost by instinct, and he runs into a Guardbot that is about to shoot at a pair of horrified citizens. His hand reaches for the laser pistol that he had been given before he remembers that the damn thing is empty, but whatever. It doesn't matter. Even if it's just the body of the pistol, he still grabs it and uses it to hit its back. To distract it, hopefully, and--

Yep. The Guardbot is distracted, alright, as it whips around to him now.

Crap. What was step two?

"Run," he yells at the people that had been about to get shot, before he turns his attention back to the bot. His eyes scan the damn thing as he tries to dodge it, and he mainly thinks it's just to make sure he's not going to get hit or shot, but the 'glitch' is making him look for weaknesses. He just wants to find a way to power it down and stop it once and for all.
