Howard Stark:

Anton. so have you. its time to change the game. we dont have to walk that path that leads towards mutually assured destruction. theres another future out there waiting for us

March 18, 1967.
Stark Industries. California

We see Howard and Anton next to the arc reactor, with tons of guards behind Vanko, he's arrested. Howard is shocked.

Howard Stark:
Anton please tell me you’re joking.

Anton Vanko:
I am not. I am a spy. I did what anyone in my position would have done so there’s no need to be shocked.

Howard Stark:
But why did you do this?

Anton Vanko:
Stark, you know me better than anyone. This is all for the money.

The agents take Vanko him away. Two more agents walk up to Howard.

Agent:
Sir we’ve rounded up the rest of the Vanko family we’ll take things from here.

Stark:
Thanks.

Stark sadly looks at the Arc reactor, as someone grabs him by the shoulder, its Obadiah Stane.

Obadiah Stane:
I know this is tough on you but you didn’t have a choice. Anton was a crook. what choice did you have?, You took that commie under your wing and he stabbed you in the back.

Howard:
Obadiah...

Obadiah Stane:
I know thiscuts closer to the bone because of your belief int he arc reactor....i am just saying that maybe You should take this incident as some sort of sign. Listen man, I’m here for you if you need anything, just like i've always been, but it’s time to get back to what we do best.

the two man look up at the reactor
