Tony Stark (narration): And so, as Christmas morning began, my journey had reached its end. You start with something pure, something exciting. Then, come the mistakes. The compromises. We create our own demons. As promised, I got Pepper sorted out. It took some tinkering. But then I thought to myself. Why stop there? Of course, there are people who say progress is dangerous, but I'll bet none of those idiots ever had to live with a chestful of shrapnel. And now, neither will I. Let me tell you... that was the best sleep I'd had in years. So, if I were to wrap this up, tie it with a bow, or whatever... I guess I'd say, my armour, it was never a distraction, or a hobby. It was a cocoon. And now, I'm a changed man. You can take away my house, all my tricks and toys. One thing you can't take away... I am Iron Man.
