There is movement behind Iron Man. Someone peaks around the corner...and WHIPLASH steps clear of the debris. Be sees Iron Man retreating across the room, his armored back to him. As if defenseless. Whiplash smiles. Then he jerks his arm and a FILAMENT LASHES ACROSS THE ROOM.
CUT TO:
The FILAMENT STRIKES THE FORCEFIELD SURROUNDING IRON MAN and immediately RECOILS WILDLY BACK ACROSS THE ROOM TO ITS SOURCE. Out of control. For a moment it looks as if it might cut through Whiplash himself. But it happens so quickly. It must have missed him, because he looks fine.
Iron Man turns, with a WHIR, and stares back at Whiplash.
