Dread filled the pit of Nat's stomach as she watched Kagome continue to hold the portal open, not knowing what Stark was actually planning on doing. And having Kagome continue to hold the portal open was much like forcing the girl to be part of Tony's reckless stunt, regardless of if she was aware of it or not.
Natasha didn't even want to begin to imagine what Stark was going through.
Tony was thinking he had the shittiest luck in the world. He'd finally realized what it actually meant to be a parent, but it took almost losing Kagome to do that. And now the city he lived in was under alien attack, his tower was being demolished, he'd been thrown out the top of said tower and was guiding a nuke into space because of a god gone crazy.
He prayed to any and all that were willing to listen to a former playboy that he survived this one and lived to see tomorrow. And that Kagome forgave him someday...
"Sir, would you like me to call Ms. Potts?"
"Sure, why not." Even in the situation he was in, he tried to play it cool… essentially holding himself together by sheer ego. And the Captain said I wasn't the type to make the sacrifice play? Well, how do you like me now, Cap?
The call went to voicemail, so he had JARVIS try one more time before trying for Kagome's cell. Though he was unsure she would be able to answer, what with holding the cube while next to heavy machinery.
"Sir, we're losing altitude."
Grunting, Tony answered while pushing all he had into directing the nuke upwards, "Yeah, I noticed."
Flying parallel to his tower, he caught a quick glimpse of Kagome. The expression she wore tore at his heart, but if he hadn't decided on this course, everyone in Manhattan, including Kagome, would all be dead.
