"Oh, right, an emergency." Yeah, passing on thirty seconds-worth of information for something that wasn't happening for three more days was clearly an emergency. "Well, that's totally okay, then." It is not okay. Tony is still plotting his revenge. Like maybe filling Dante's closet with popcorn. Or covering his bathtub in grease. Or nailing all his furniture to the ceiling.

Well, there will be plenty of time for hilarious prank scheming after these cultists have been dealt with. Tony is startled by the mental message relayed by Quintus, but it only takes him a fraction of a second to get over his surprise. He's a little reluctant to aim for heads with his repulsors - he still doesn't want to actually kill anybody - but he takes few experimental low-power shots to see if he can knock any of the cultists out.

Meanwhile, Dante looks like he's recovered and is having an easier time holding his own, so after another round of knocking cultists down like bowling pins, Tony turns to check in on Akito. He looks just in time to see Akito get jumped by one of the cultists. Immediately, he fires off a precision repulsor blast to dislodge her. It's a hard shot - he really appreciates his Extremis-enhanced reflexes right now.
