Chapter 3- The last hurdle

-Set after chapter 1-

Later that night, I kept having reoccurring nightmares of New York, the red portal and Tom coming back to drown me. I kept tossing and turning in my sleep. I couldn't breathe, I felt like I was going to die any second…

Meanwhile, Thanos was waiting to strike the Avengers one by one when they were off-guard with his amulet. While he waited for the right moment, He used his amulet to resurrect Tom so he could counterattack the Avengers for him while he waited. Within two ticks, Tom was on a black hover board which looked like a skateboard with silver zigzags on the sides to Earth in a flash.

In my dream, I was on the seabed trying to get Tom off my chest and he held my neck as he tried to straggle me… "Tony?" Pepper asked softly once again. "Tony!" Pepper yelled. I mumbled in my sleep and saw a holographic version of Pepper in my dream as I began to give out oxygen as Tom smiled evilly while I blacked out. Then I instantly woke up while gasping and looked directly at Pepper.

Tom arrived on Earth in New York again in his ninja suit and made purple fire appear within the city to grab the Avengers' attention. "Hello, my dear friends! I have been brought back from the dead by Thanos because of his ties with Death and I want to challenge you all. Especial you, Tony Stark!" He cried through a huge white megaphone as helicopters with cameramen appeared to broadcast the whole event. I was shocked when I saw Tom's ugly face again on TV this time and started to think up a plan to stop him while I watched in our bedroom.

"I want you all to come out in 2 hours to face if one of you fail to come, then the purple fire consumes the whole city within 60 seconds! So make a choice!" He said, harshly. Then I switched off the TV and went downstairs. "Time to suit up!" I called out I followed my instinct and got my underwater suit to attach to me this time. "J.A.R.V.I.S., Could you make sure everyone else gets up and goes to Central New York please?" I asked him as I flew towards Central New York to face Tom alone. "Already on it, Sir" J.A.R.V.I.S. replied.

"Where's Tony?!" Grainne asked, worriedly as she jumped up and down franticly. "We need to go to Central New York now or something bad will happened" Thor said. "We all need to go now before 2 hours is up" Pepper intervened. "Agreed" Everyone else along with Rhodey mumbled in agreement.

Then Pepper, Rhodey and Grainne suited up as they all headed toward Central New York behind me. "Well, well, well. If it isn't the great Tony Stark, here in my presence. Where's your team? Have they abandoned you?" Tom asked with an icy smile. "No, they haven't. I've come alone and they're coming right behind me" I replied, sternly.

"Ok, then. While we wait, why don't we rumble?" Tom suggested with an evil smile as he launched himself at me which made me fly backwards into two buildings that were behind me. He then made about 20 copies of himself and they threw me in the air. When others finally arrived, they had to fight loads of Tom clones this time. Tom launched himself at me again and while the other Avengers fought the clones watched as we both flew in the direction of the sea which was in the west.

"Tony!" Pepper and Grainne cried in unison after they'd seen me disappear with Tom in to the sea in the distance. We were going down at a thousand miles per second and Tom was trying to strangle me which caused a leak in my suit. I blasted my hand repulsers at his face to try and shake him off but he still held on tightly. So I used the uni-beam which threw him off me. Then I got out a sharp pointy knife's edge and Tom got out a knight's sword surrounded by blue fire.

I was about to sword fight till I got an opportunity to stab him but as I stared at his sword flashes of New York with the blue portal appeared as a slight blur in my mind. So Tom took advantage of it and hit the right side of my armour with his sword. So Pepper and Grainne defeat the last two clones that were close to them and zoomed off to find Tony.

I felt dizzy and like I was going faint any moment as Tom was about to strike again when Grainne and Pepper arrived just in time to counter his attack. Then I realised the water around was close to my mouth from the leak Tom had made. So I shot him with my hand repulsers before retreating to let Grainne and Pepper handle him this time.

So Grainne and Pepper fought Tom with their hand repulsers and threw an atom bomb at him to make he was died for good. Then they both flew out of the sea and found me in the tower, gasping and feeling really dizzy. The clones disappeared all at once as we all heard an explosion and Thanos used his amulet to shift reality to make gravity no longer be there.

All of my other fellow avengers cheered with triumph but then the zero gravity zone made them all start to float in the air towards space. I sensed danger right away but I was in too much pain to help.

I tried to rest but I somehow felt like I'd gone in a coma for more than a minute because I kept having nightmares of New York and then saw everyone flying into a black hole. I couldn't breathe and twisted and turned in my sleep. I felt dizzy and woke up straight away to go to the lab for air. I worked for another 72 hours on making more upgrades of my suits for the zero gravity that was coming. I told J.A.R.V.I.S to send three of my spacesuits to Black window, Captain America and Hawkeye for protection. Then I upgraded Pepper and Grainne's amour for it to be suitable in space.

Then I gestured to my spacesuit for it to attach itself to me. Then I flew to Central New York again and realised that Thanos had created a black hole by manipulating reality. So I contacted Grainne and Pepper to join me; Then I flew straight into the Black hole without looking back.

The first thing I saw when I went in was Thanos smiling icily at me as he sat on his ugly golden throne with the amulet around his neck. Then the others got sucked into the black hole and stood behind me. "This ends now, Thanos!" I cried. "Avengers assemble!" Captain America cried as we all charged at him. But we were thrown back by an invisible wall.

"You can't harm me in anyway because I'm protected. Now face your doom!" Thanos boomed, cruelly as a wall of fire appeared behind us. Grainne thought of an idea. She used her Uni-beam on the invisible wall which made a crack on it and the hulk smashed it. "Hulk Smash!" The hulk cried as he marched towards Thanos and bashed him side to side like what he did to Loki.

Then Thor neutralized the black hole to stop it from affecting the gravity on Earth and I shot flares at Thanos as we left the black hole. Then I destroy it with my own additional missile that I shot into it that destroyed it completely without me having to go into it again.

Then we went back to the tower to celebrate by playing 'The Avengers' Wii game together, not noticing the storm outside growing stronger and bigger.

Black in the green portal, Thanos smiled. His plan to link his world to theirs with a black hole had worked. Now he could use the other gems to get back on the avengers and take over their world.

The end

(I'm totally going to leave it to the Avenger 2 and 3 to show you what could happen next because If I keep going all I'm going to do is leave cliff-hangers all the time! So yeah, I'm kind of out of juice for this story now too but I do enjoy writing from Tony's point of view! Can you guess who my fave avenger is? So I think 'River' would be a great song choice for this! It's another one of my fave songs! Look on YouTube and You'll see who sings it! I love RDJ! Read and Review or Thanos will come and get you!)
