Synopsis[]
The Supreme Scientist with the A.I.M. drones are getting Technovore into the vehicle, but Technovore escapes from his pod. As Technovore attacked a A.I.M. drone knocks it out. They get Technovore back in the pod. Supreme Scientist then tells the drones that A.I.M. will get their revenge on Tony Stark.
At Stark Industries, Tony was at a board meeting, but ignores the board executives and makes a shield device for Captain America. As the board directors, Pepper approaches Tony and tells him that he spends too much time as Iron Man and on the Avengers. Tony disagrees with that statement, but as he is explaining, he gets a message from Captain America that James and Black Panther are ready to move the armory to the Avengers mansion. Pepper tells him that she was right, and Tony explains that he does it to protect Stark Industries and not let it hurt anyone.
As A.I.M. sets up a deadzone around Stark Industries, Pepper tells Tony that another appointment has come, and Tony asks who. Maria stands in Tony's office, much to Tony's surprise. Tony wonders why she is here, and Maria invites the Avengers to S.H.I.E.L.D. In the Iron Man armory, James tells Captain America and Black Panther that Tony was working on the Mark IX armor, and Captain America notices that there is another armor. James tells them that it is his armor "War Machine" and only uses it to protect Tony. In the office Tony disregards the offer as he thinks that it's pointless. Maria wants the Avengers to register so that other would follow like the X-Men and Spider-Man. Maria threatens that S.H.I.E.L.D. will come after the Avengers if they mess up.
A.I.M. activates the disruptors and causes a black out. Supreme Scientist invades the building and takes Pepper hostage, and then they release Technovore and it goes after Tony. Supreme Scientist went to a computer to download all the data of Stark Industries, while the other A.I.M. drones are going after Tony's armor in the armory. As they open a hole in the door, Captain America and Black Panther are there. Supreme Scientist orders that they should kill them, and he then proceeds to destroy the arc reactor in Stark Industries. The A.I.M. drones set up the bombs in the arc reactor. Technovore invades the office, as Tony and Maria try to hold them off with his new shield, they manage to escape. As the Technovore chases after them, some A.I.M. drones fire at it and Technovore feeds on them. As Technovore is distracted, Tony and Maria went after the arc reactor. In the armory, Captain America and Black Panther serve a distraction so that James could get his armor.
Tony tries to open the door to the elevator. Technovore arrives and feeds of the arc reactor on Tony's chest. Back in the armory, Captain America and Black Panther get knocked out. James has donned his War Machine armor and takes care of the drones. Maria gets Technovore off of Tony. Technovore then detects a better energy source and goes after War Machine, as Maria and Tony follow it. In the computer room, the downloading is completed and Supreme Scientist is going to leave the building along with the hostage. In the armory, Technovore arrives and ambushes War Machine while getting through the wall in to the arc reactor. As Technovore feeds on War Machine, Iron Man arrives in the Mark IX armor. Iron Man has a plan to deactive the bombs and defeat Technovore, as he orders Jarvis to reactivate the Arc Reactor, he gets in the arc reactor with Technovore. As technovore feeds on the arc reactor energy. While Captain America shields the others with his new shield device that can enlarge from the whirlwind that it causes. Technovore feeds on too much energy and explodes along with the bombs.
Outside the building, A.I.M. are trying to leave, but they get ambushed by the Avengers. Supreme Scientist aims a gun at Pepper's head, but Pepper easily knocks him out. She then gets worried about the data that A.I.M. took, but Captain America has made sure it is secure. The next day Maria and Tony are in the office with the former telling him that the registering isn't over and that the Avengers are putting people at risk.
