Rainbow sat in her workshop going over the designs of a new armor. The MK-III had been too damaged to bother repairing so she moved on to another design. The new design was made from a denser metal and had a few extra tricks in it.

Rainbow's stomach growled in protest to her continued work. "Okay time for a break," she told herself. She made her way upstairs and to the kitchen where she started making herself a sandwich. Just as she was about to take the first bite the lights turned off.

Rainbow put her sandwich back on the plate and looked around suspiciously. "T.A.N.K.?" she called out. She grew more concerned when there was no response. Rainbow got up and edited the kitchen. As soon as she rounded the corner to her living room a voice called out.

"I am Iron Mare," the cultured voice spoke. Rainbow whipped her head towards the living room where she could just barely make out the silhouette of a stallion standing at the window in the far side of the room. "That's a very powerful statement. And very dangerous," the stallion said.

"Do I know you?" Rainbow asked, glaring at the stranger.

The stallion, wearing a trench coat and black pants, turned to her and walked around her couch slowly. A horn lit up on his head and Rainbow could see a mustache on the stallion. I am Director Fancy Pants of S.H.I.E.L.D.," the stallion said with authority, the name of the organization sparking Rainbow's interest. "And I'm here to talk to you about the Harmony Initiative."
