Tony Stark reclined into his chair, casually sipping a martini as the fireplace raged in front of him. Suddenly, the power went out. "Sir, I'm detecting that someone has cut the power, should I scan for intruders?" JARVIS asked over an intercom attached to a backup generator. "Don't bother, I know who it is." As if on cue, glowing eyes penetrated the darkness. "Stark." Batman said. "You know, Mr. Wayne, there's such a thing as a door. You might've heard of them, normal people use them all the time." Batman ignored the comment, he'd shrugged off far worse potshots after all. "About your little Civil War-"
"Yes, I know. What I did was wrong. I regret it, Cap regrets it, know one's looking back on that mess fondly." Batman leaned in. "I think it's time for you to retire." Tony blanched "What?" Batman ignored him to keep talking. "You've constantly proven time and again that you can't be trusted with the fate of the world. Alcoholic and narcissistic tendencies. Launching Hulk into space. Everything to do with the civil war. You're not fit for the job." Tony stood up, meeting Bruce's eyes. "You don't get to talk, Bruce. Your paranoia nearly got the Justice League killed, not to mention you keep hiring kid sidekicks even after you-know-who bit the dust." Batman flinched and leaned back. "My plans never involved taking away people's rights. You have ten days to retire or I'll make you." Batman vanished into the darkness and Tony fell back into his chair with a sigh. "Sir, am I to assume you don't intend to comply with his demands?" Tony set his martini down. "Yes, JARVIS, you are. If he wants me to step down he'll have to make me." JARVIS chimed in again. "You are aware that he's likely already preparing for such a scenario?" Tony smiled. "Well, two can play at that game."
~ Both have ten days to prepare. They have access to everything in their arsenals up to 4-B and have extensive prior knowledge on the others tactics, character, capabilities, and gadgets. Speed is Equalized.
