SAPHIRA'S POV

I jumped out of the strange glass window and turned back to the building, where I circled it. I could feel relief and gratefulness come off of Eragon in waves. He probably felt bad for destroying the home. As I circled, I watched the water glisten and move gracefully. I just love the ocean. Maybe I might be able to fish a bit later. 'Saphira, there's a field nearby. Mr. Stark wants you to land there and meet you,' I heard my Rider's voice clear in my head. 'I'm on my way,' I replied, much to the relief of Eragon. As I landed, I grew impatient as I waited for them to get here. Finally, a creature pulled near me and out of it came Eragon, Mr. Stark, and Pepper. 'What is that?' I asked them, curiously poking it with my tail tip. Mr. Stark chuckled. "It's my car," he replied. "Is it living? You never told me," Eragon asked. "No, it's not loving," he replied, amusement showing. And they continued to observe me until they noticed how dark it was getting. Mr. Stark offered Eragon a place to rest while I stayed here and slept.

ERAGON'S POV

I climbed into the 'car' and we set off back to Mr. Stark's home. I was worried about Saphira the entire ride. What if someone saw her? What if they decided to attack? Of course, she could take care of herself, but what if it attracted unwanted attention? What would we do? My head was spinning with these possibilities as we walked inside and Mr. Stark showed me to my room. It seemed very comfortable and when I took off my boots and lay down on the bed, I fell asleep fairly quickly. ]

ERAGON'S DREAM

I was in a battle. It was pretty intense. Strange creatures everywhere, attacking me and Saphira. Naturally, I was fighting while riding, with Brinsingr in hand. I cut off the creatures' heads one by one, but it seemed to have no end. I was covered in battle wounds and getting weaker by every creature I killed. Soon, Saphira had to lend me some of her strength to get through. I decided to fight on the ground. Suddenly, I heard a roar like no other. I looked up and saw a huge flying creature. And it was headed right for Saphira. She tried to fight it off and fly away, but it was too strong. "No!" I cried out as I saw the creature kill her, her blood dripping out of the wound. She fell from the sky and was limp. I ran to my dead dragon's side and cried. It shouldn't have been her. It wasn't fair. "It's not fair!" I cried out out, sobbing. "What's not fair?" I heard a familiar voice asked me.

My head flew up from the nightmare. I looked to see Pepper looking at me with concern. "Sorry, I heard sobbing and came to check on you," she explained to me, very embarrassed. "I had a nightmare. It's been happening since I killed Galbatorix," I replied to her. She nodded. "Do you need anything?" She asked. I just shook my head. Pepper smiled at me and walked out of the room. I flopped back onto the pillow, the nightmare playing in my head over and over. Finally, I fell asleep, where I didn't have any nightmares.

I woke up to feel someone shaking me. "Come on, wake up!" told me, annoyance clear in his voice. I sat up and looked down. "Sorry," I told him. "It's fine. Here, these are some of my clothes. They might be a little tight but it's better than walking around in dirty clothes and armor," he told me while throwing some clothes at me. I smiled gratefully and thanked him before he told me how to work the shower. It was much similar to the ones from the elves.

After showering and getting dressed, I made my way to the damaged living room to see Pepper and Mr. Stark talking excitedly and eating something from a bowl. Upon closer inspection, it was oatmeal. Well, I'm glad they eat the same things as we normally eat. I sat down where there was a bowl waiting and started eating, acknowledging the two at the table. They dipped their heads in greeting before starting their conversation. It was about a new york and lighting up a tower. Strange. Soon, we were all done and the two went to get ready for something.

"Where are you going?" I asked them. "We are going to New York city to light up Stark Tower, where it will be running on clean energy. You can come with as long as you don't mind riding your dragon there," Mr. Stark replied. I brightened up and started getting ready to ride my dragon. I picked up Brisingr and jumped out of the broken window, where I fell onto a waiting Saphira's back. The ride to New York was pretty long and I fell asleep a few times. Finally, the 'plane' landed at a strange building. Saphira decided to land there too, considering the fact that no one was there.

I looked out the window in awe as we drove past many large buildings. The only thing I didn't like was the loud sounds and terrible smells that we would encounter. Mr. Stark took off in a strange suit of armor as we walked to the rails on the very top of the building. The tower was the only building there that wasn't turned on bright. And then it clicked. The were lighting up the tower by making it as bright as the other buildings. We waited for Stark to give Pepper permission to turn on the power. It took a while, but he finally told her to. The tower came to life as I watched Stark fly back. He landed and his suit was taken off. He and Pepper seemed to be having a conversation. Then, Stark picked up a strange device and was talking to it. Strange...

The doors to the 'elevator' opened and a man walked in. "Security breach!" Stark exclaimed. I chuckled to myself for a second before stopping and listened to the conversation. It got boring after a while. 'Dare me to swoop by the tower and make Stark think that I was about to destroy the tower?' I heard Saphira ask me in my mind. My face showed my shock. "What?" The man asked me as he saw my shocked face. I guess I was staring at him. "Sorry. I was talking to Saphira," I replied and looked at the floor. The man looked confused but didn't ask. Instead, he just shrugged and resumed the conversation. 'I'm waiting,' Saphira told me impatiently. I shrugged and replied, 'Fine.' In response I heard a loud roar from Saphira as she swooped in towards the tower. I pretended to be surprised and ducked down as the others did, fear obvious on their faces.

As they waited for impact, none came. When they looked up, they saw that Saphira had started circling the tower. I just smirked as Stark and Pepper glared at the window and Phil shakily stood up. "What was that?!" He exclaimed. I chuckled. "That was Saphira, my dragon," I replied with a smirk. Phil looked confused but then it looked like he had an idea. "We're putting together a team. I'm sure you would be a valuable member," he told me with a smile. I shrugged and nodded. "Sure, I guess I can join," I replied. Phil looked triumphant. "Good, you and Saphira will follow me to SHIELD headquarters," he ordered. I just shrugged. "Woah, woah, why don't I get any input on where he goes?" Tony asked furiously. Phil just shrugged and walked away, gesturing for me to follow.
