"Billionaire," Tony added before switching over. Because he was an awesome friend. HE'LL OFFER YOU A JOB NEXT. JUST LIKE EVERYONE ELSE.

"Tony, tell me you're watching the news," Rhodey said rather than the usual 'hello'.

There was a sigh on the other end of the phone at that. "Just watch."

The ticker on the bottom of the screen demanded to know where was Iron Man before a clip was played, possibly for the fifth time so far:

I want Iron Man here and I want him now, a distressingly familiar redhead criminal shouted from what looked like Times Square. Wasn't he supposed to be in jail? And, you know, not still glowing. You hear me, Iron Man? And if Iron Man doesn't show, then I'll turn this entire city into a pile of smoking ash.
