"Uh, those guys do not look friendly," Kagome said as she tightened her hold around his neck. "I think we should get moving. Preferably sooner rather than later."
"Right, hang on," he told her, remembering about her previous nervousness with airplanes even as he took off. It was impossible to hold onto her, since he needed his hands for flight and defense, so she had to keep a death grip around his neck and waist as he took out the first few aliens with his blasters.
However, the clinging monkey technique didn't work for long. He heard her pained groans as he did some complicated twisting maneuvers through the sky, so he pulled up, wrapping his arms around her waist. "Let go for a second."
The moment she let go, the mini-missiles along the trapezius area of his suit elevated and fired. Unfortunately, it didn't give him the break he needed to solve their flight problems. "Behind you!" she cried, prompting him to spin around and use his right hand to take out the would-be surprise attacker.
Seeing three more aliens quickly replace the fallen one, Tony came to a quick, dangerous conclusion. But it all depended on her answer to a question that could tear his heart to pieces. Steeling himself, he asked, "Do you trust me?"
Kagome raised a brow as she took the helmet and mask he wore. "With my life."
Trying to keep his mind on the trouble they were in instead of the warmth quickly spreading through his chest, Tony returned his attention back to the oncoming army. "Your mother is going to kill me for this."
With that said, he let her go and she began to freefall. Her heart stopped, her lungs froze and her eyes widened as her father quickly dispatched those closest to them then dove down for her. The moment she was once again safe in his arms, Tony made a comment that Kagome was only too happy to agree to.
"Time to get you back on solid ground."
AN: It's all thanks to the wonderful SilverontheRose that these upcoming chapter are able to be posted. I rewrote these ones so often I almost gave up on them... or introduced my face to my desk, painfully. Read, enjoy, and review!
