Synopsis for "Sky Duel"

Happy Hogan, Pepper Hogan, and Bambi Arbogast are trapped beneath the destroyed facility of Stane International after being freed by Iron Man.[1] Iron Man, having defeated Obadiah Stane and witnessing his suicide suddenly realizes they were left behind and rushes to their rescue. He also rescues Bethany Cabe whose mind is trapped in the body of Madame Masque, unbeknownst to Iron Man, and witnesses Theron Atlanta being captured by a newly arrived A.I.M. ship but can do nothing about it as he rescues Bethany who is in need of medical care.

Dr. Atlanta is greeted by Yorgon Tykkio, an A.I.M. leader who wants to put his genius to use. Iron Man finds Bethany Cabe, not realizing she has the mind of Madame Masque despite the real Cabe appearing with the body of Madame Masque and trying to set the record straight. The real Bethany is carted away by police as Iron Man tells the other "Bethany" that he must return to the west coast and she says that she will join him imminently. At a funeral home in California, Jim Rhodes comforts a grieving Clytemnestra Erwin after the death of Morley.[1]

Back in the A.I.M. ship, an order by the Scientist Supreme has apparently authorized the attack of the Avengers Compound in California. Bethany as Madame Masque meanwhile escapes from the prison compound where she is housed in New York as Iron Man hears a distress call from Hawkeye who is flying a Quinjet and battling numerous A.I.M. flyers with Mockingbird in California. Iron Man saves Tigra from crashing into Dodger Stadium during a baseball game and helps take out the A.I.M. ships with his new high-tech armor. Back on the A.I.M. ship that captured Atlanta, the Supreme Scientist is baffled by the attack and asks who ordered it, but another member says it was him and Yorgon appears to be behind it. The fake Bethany Cabe arrives in California and buys a pistol from a shady character at the airport with the intention of shooting Tony.
