Chapter 1: I can see the world from here
I'm sitting on top of the tower, my legs dangling over the edge. 6 months ago I would have taken this opportunity to jump, end everything. Now I just sit and watch the city go by. It's amazing really, how we live our lives scuttling round like ants. I wonder if they could see the world like I do know, would they change. I already know the answer to that: no. I feel a shimmer in the air, and know instantly who it is. Loki. He comes and sits next to me and we sit there in silence.
"You wanted to talk to me?" He eventually said. I stare out to space, trying to word what I wanted to say.
"We can't keep going on like this. We're partners, and we can't be if we keep ignoring each other. I'm pretty sure Fury won't let us swap so we either have to go all the way or go home."
"By home you mean…."
"Yep. Either we work out, or I'm going to leave. I can't stand it. You helped me through so much, and now you act like you're a complete stranger. I want to know where my knight went, and why he left a boy in tin foil in his place."
"I am not a boy, I am a god! Don't you dare talk to me like that!" He turned to me angrily. I looked him in the eyes. He didn't seem to be hurting at all. I turned and looked down. It was a large drop but I could make it. Hmmm.
"That proves my point. So, what's it going to be then?"
Loki sighed heavily and went quiet for a couple of minutes. After about a minute, I got bored and began playing Tetris. I also checked the stats on the tech I had in my bag, although I didn't let Loki know that bit.
"We should work together. With Luke gone, you need someone to have your back and-"
"I'm sorry, but what's Dad and Jack, chopped jabberwocky?"
"Quick question, why do you call Tony Dad? You used to be so ….detached."
"I always wanted a proper family, and this is the only chance I've had so far. I realised that I should take the chance, even if I did still feel alone."
"My point is, where was Tony and Jack when you died?" Loki was beginning to make it sound like he was the one who saved me, who gave me some of his life force. I was getting pissed off. I stood up, wind blowing round my face.
"Jack was the one who saved me, and where were you?" My phone started playing If I'm James Dean (see A/N at end for full song name), which was Jack's ringtone. I pressed the answer button on the Bluetooth in my ear.
"Sunshine, we've got a problem downtown. Can you be here in under 5? Stark says bring the new tech as well, whatever that means."
"Sure Jack, I'll be there soon." I pressed hang up and turned to Loki. "The world is calling, so goodbye until you can get your ego under control." Before he could answer, I stepped backwards off the building. I began spiralling until about halfway down the building I hit the button on my wrist. Out of my backpack shot a pair of metal wings.
I began to glide across the city, heading downtown. A few weeks ago, a friend of Steve, Sam, had come to the tower to try out a pair of wings Tony had developed for him. After seeing them, I asked Tony if he could me a pair, which he did. I'd always wanted to have wings. Until then the closest I'd got was sliding on Jack's ice when I jumped out of the tower last time.
As I got nearer I could see Jack's ice blast. From the looks of it, a small wormhole had opened, and from it were cats. Lots of mutant cats. They looked as if they'd been bred with mice. This should be fun. I tilted down and landed, copying Dad's classic Iron Man move. I instantly began blasting the cats, and eventually moved until I was back to back with Jack and Dad. We managed to freeze or destroy all of the cats. Or so we thought.
"Those wings look pretty good on ya sunshine." Jack drawled, and Dad blasted him.
"Dad, seriously!" I gave Jack my hand and helped to pull him up.
"They do look pretty good Lex. Shall we get back?"
"Might as well. I'll race you." I flashed him a quick grin, grabbed onto Jack and launched myself into the air. I would win of course. Jack was shouting "Whoop" in my ear, so I dropped him momentarily then nosedived to catch him. I was laughing so much I nearly dropped him again. I landed on top of the tower, beating Dad. As my wings retracted I heard a strangled meow. I open my bag and out of it jumped a cat-mouse kitten. It was tiny, a bundle of black fluff with a pink mouse tail. We had to keep it. As Dad landed, me and Jack ran over, begging him to let us keep him. He disgruntledly agreed. We ran into the tower, going to find the rest of the team to show off the kitten, and get help to name him.
A/N: Jack's ring tone is If your James Dean you're Audrey Hepburn- Sleeping with Sirens and WHAT SHALL WE CALL THE KITTEN? PM me with ideas :P (It's a boy btw)
Ciao peeps
