They spend hours looking for survivors and his body hates him for it. The HUD was damaged in the fall but with a bit of tinkering, he was able to get most of it working. Even with that, the slightly blurred lines and huge crack in the capacitive screen are giving him a headache. It might also have something to do with falling out of the sky at about a hundred miles an hour but he refuses to think about that.
Tony does one last scan of the building before giving Thor and Captain America the thumbs up. The structure is fractured but empty and they move on to the next.
Barton and Romanoff are directing the National Guard and coordinating the rescue and evacuation process with FEMA. Between them and the NYPD, most of the people needing serious medical attention have been airlifted to the nearest hospitals. A makeshift refuge is established in Madison Square Garden and there are buses waiting at every bridge in order to get people out of the city. The mayor has declared a state of emergency and ordered all non-response vehicles off the streets.
And Tony? He just wants to see Pepper. He's scared to stop moving because he knows what happens when he does. It's Afghanistan all over again and Jesus Christ, he was in space.
He closes his eyes and let's the vertigo pass. He has no interest in testing the hypothesis, but he's sure throwing up in the Iron Man suit would suck.
"JARVIS, any update on flight traffic?"
"All airports remain closed, sir. All flights are currently being diverted to the nearest available hubs. Military jets are monitoring the surrounding area. Miss Pott's flight has been grounded in Philadelphia. Would you like me to try her again?"
"No. Let me know when they reopen Kennedy."
"Yes sir."
"Stark, is there anyone in there?"
Tony does a fly through of the six story building but it's vacant and structurally, much better off than the ones around it.
"All clear." He exits through the rooftop entrance and takes a moment to survey the city. There are entire buildings missing and billions of dollars in damage. The death toll is high in the hundreds and he hopes, almost prays that it stops there. They've pushed themselves beyond human, and Asgardian, limits and still, there is so much to be done.
