This is an emergency broadcast from Ironheart to all agencies, heroes and civilian broadcast streams. I know many of you will be heading for the crash site on Roosevelt Island. Stop. Immediately. Cut off everything to the island. No one comes in, no one gets out. A virus has landed on Earth.

My stepdad. it's this thing he used to say all the time. "Those who move with courage make the path for those who live with fear." He said it constantly. He said my mother taught him that. And I just... I was tired of being afraid. I wanted to fly.

You're right, okay? I am scared! You think I don't want to suit up? Because I think about it every day. I think about all the good that we've done, since I suited up. I think about what I lost before I put on that suit. But I know that if we get caught, or this glitch gets so bad you can't stop yourself from killing someone like André, I'll get arrested. And I can't put my mom through that. And worse, I'll lose you. I can't do it -- I can't lose you again.
