Road of Trails:
First, Tony makes an improved version of his "heart" which is designed to be more reliable. After wards he tests dozens of of prototypes of Iron Man suits until he perfected it. One night he was told that weapons were being supplied to people in Gulmira, a small town where Yinsen (Tony's friend and guidance from the cave scene) happened to be from. Later, he watched the news and saw how much the people where struggling. He quickly flew over there and succored those helpless people, defending them with his glorious iron fists. He destroyed more of his weapons that were being used for mass murder. On his flight back he had to out fly a Raptor F-22. Trying not to hurt anyone he used evasive maneuvers to escape the target lock on him. In doing so he managed to destroy one of the two planes and save a pilot from his chute that wouldn't open.
