"Sir, another AIM facility has been attacked..." A guard hangs up the phone and reports.
As soon as Killian received that suspicious call from the CEO of Stark Industries, he went into hiding just in time to miss the many attacks that unfolded on his properties.
Anything registered under AIM and himself was turned upside down.
"It's Stark!" Killian grinds his teeth in anger. "It has to be. His little b*tch failed to lead me into a trap so now they're simply attacking until they find me."
The only question on Killians mind was how? How did the Avengers and Stark figure out what he was up to?
"Should I plan a counterattack, sir?" A nearby soldier asks.
Though, this man isn't just any normal grunt. He was a Brigadier General, who lost both legs and eyes in a missile strike.
The best part was the fact that it was an attack from the ten rings, who were using Stark brand missiles at the time.
The idea to blame the Ten Rings for everything was originally from this man, as he blamed them for the many years that he had to spend as a blind wheelchair-bound cripple.
Thankfully, Killian came around and fixed him right up, so he can see and walk just fine now.
Of course, he also blames Tony Stark, so he had no problem coordinating an attack on the man.
"Yes..." Killian agrees as he looks at an image of the Avengers tower on his phone. "They want to attack my property's? Well, let's see how long that tower can remain standing."

Just as the people of New York City thought that they wouldn't be dealing with any more bombings for at least a little while, as one just happened only a couple of days ago, they were all proven wrong by the earth-shaking explosions that took place over and over on this very day.
Nobody knew what was happening, but everyone guessed that the Mandarin was pulling off some sort of large-scale attack on the city.
Though, what they didn't know, is that it wasn't just New York City that was going through this.
All across the world, explosions were going off all day long, scaring any nearby civilians half to death and attracting the attention of local law enforcement, who have been on high alert due to the recent Mandarin attacks.
When the police would arrive, they would be met with damaged and raided buildings belonging to AIM or Aldrich Killian. The police never found any traces of the Avengers, as they worked quickly and were in and out before anyone could arrive.
It didn't take each team too long to figure out how to kill the undying fire soldiers. Overload their healing ability in some way, usually through beheading, and they'll blow up like a firework on the 4th of July.
An alarming fact that the Avengers soon found out, was that every single location on the list was guarded by these enhanced individuals, which made for a lot of soldiers.
The number of properties on the entire list was over a hundredfold, and each one of them was guarded by at least five Extremis-enhanced individuals.
Meaning, In just these publicly owned properties alone, Killian had a combined army of five hundred, at the very least.
"Is he trying to take over the world?" Peter asked as he and everyone else returned to the tower.
They spent the whole day going down the list and raiding each property one by one, leaving nothing but destruction in their wake.
"He's kind of scary..." MJ says with a pout. "I miss his old stupid face."

Sitting in one of his hidden facilities, Killian watched the news as he waited for his men to formulate a plan of attack.
As he watched, the broadcast was interrupted by some breaking news. Spider-Man would be holding another one of his press conferences.
Instantly, Killian felt his stomach drop.
'He wouldn't...' Killian thought as he increased the volume.
"Spider-Man! Is this about the large string of Mandarin bombings?" A reporter asks before Spider-Man could say a word.
"Yes, actually." Spidey says with a nod. "Though the attacks weren't the Mandarins doing. In fact, none of the recent attacks were orchestrated by the Ten Rings or the Mandarin."
'He wouldn't!' Killian screamed inwardly.
"How is that possible? He took credit for the attacks." Peter voiced everyone reporters next question. "The Avengers have looked into these attacks and found a common denominator. This man."
Suddenly, before Killians very eyes, an image of himself appeared behind Spider-Man.
"Motherf*cker!" Killian yelled as he stood up and hurled the controller across the room, embedding it into the TV.

-Fury POV-
After spending the day with Silk, Fury had an odd feeling about the woman. For some reason, she reminded him of his daughter, MJ.
She sounded like her and even acted like her at some moments, but his daughter wasn't a superhero. In fact, she should be sleeping soundly at home around this time.
'Or is she?' Fury thought as he subconsciously drove to his families home and pulled into the driveway.
Quietly sneaking inside, so he doesn't wake his family, Fury silently made his way to his daughters room and peaked inside only to find it void of any life.
MJ was nowhere to be seen.
'Is it actually her?' Fury asks himself in disbelief as he rushed to the master bedroom.
No longer caring to be quiet, Fury storms into Graces bedroom and shakes her awake.
"Huh? What..." Grace slowly wakes up.
"Where's our daughter?" Fury asks.
"She's sleeping over at her boyfriends house." Grace says sleepily but froze as she realized who she was speaking to. "I mean her friends house!"
"I'm going to kill him." Fury subconsciously draws his revolver as he storms back out of the room.
"Oh, sh*t..."
