And that is when Tony first met him. The alien bomb had detonated in a flash of bright blue light, everything was on fire, the hostages were screaming but safe. Protected by the makeshift shield he put together from the surrounding wreckage. And there he was, sledding down the rubble on a long black oblong shield, wearing the most ridiculous costume. He golden hair swishing like fire as it caught the wind.
Then he opened his mouth and started talking to the aliens as if they could understand him. His voice deep and soothing.
The aliens looked amongst themselves, clearing not getting a word of it.
Tony was not called a genius for nothing, he saw the opening for what it was and took the opportunity to get the hostages out of there.
He looked back to the man, wondering who he was. If he would be alright. And hopping that maybe one day he will meet him again.
