Hey guys! Welcome back! Here's another chapter. Hope you like it and see if you guessed right about the clunking.
The clunking became louder and closer to them now. Everyone was aiming their respective weapon towards the sound and waited. It didn't take long for whatever the source of the sound was to step in.
Marc looked up shocked with wide eyes as the source of the noise stumbled and landed straight in front of his feet. Everyone lowered their weapons as they saw what it was that was making the noise. Marc couldn't believe what he was seeing. He thought he was dreaming.
"Dad?"
Avengers Assemble! Avengers Assemble! Avengers Assemble!
His eyes opened up with a shock. Taking in a deep breath he started to cough around. He turned around only to be greeted by sand and… fish? A fish was in front of him looking at him while opening and closing its mouth. The man swatted the fish away and then turned around.
"Thank god I got in my suit in time." He muttered as he saw where he was. Yes, Tony Stark was alive in his suit and under water.
"Oxygen running low." A computer voice said. He frowned, how long was he out? He made the suit hold oxygen for at least half a year in case something happened and he was trapped in a cave or something. "Jarvis, how long was I out?"
No answer came and he frowned even more. Sighing he looked up and blasted out of the water into the fresh air. Tony opened his visor and took in a deep breath of air. He remembered what happened. Yea, while he was on the plane a blast hit them and the plane exploded. Luckily he had his bracelet on and was able to put on his suit before he hit the water and blacked out.
"Low power." The computer voice said and Tony frowned. He saw the tower and flew over it. He needed to see why no people were on the streets. He flew to the tower and when he arrived at the top his eyes went wide. "What the…"
Tony couldn't believe what he was seeing. In the room he was looking in he saw a blonde muscular man he knew all too well. It was Thor. And he was chained up. How the heck did Thor get chained up? Scratch that what the hell was he doing back on earth already? Wasn't he on Asgard with his family?
Before he could even do anything about that situation he was hit by a blast that sent him to the ground crashing.
Crashing and skipping through the street he finally stopped. He slowly stood up but it was painful. "What the hell was that?"
He heard a screech coming from the distance. He looked down the street and his eyes went wide. Dark alien creatures were heading straight for him. He got up ignoring the pain and shot at the creatures.
Some blasts hit the creatures and killed them while other came straight at him. One hit him sending him to the ground. Quickly he shot the creature and got back up. He saw more of those creatures come after him. He looked behind him and decided to run.
His legs were protesting screaming to stop but he just couldn't. No he had to figure out what was going on. Creatures jumped on him and smashed him to the ground again. Tony cursed as his suit was being dented and scratched up. This was not his day.
He threw the creatures off of him and blasted them away. He got up again and turned his jets on to fly away but he didn't come far since his fuel was all out and he crashed down what seemed to be a subway entrance.
He pushed himself from the ground and looked around. It was abandoned. Looking behind him he heard the creatures coming. Without thinking he ran down the tunnel hoping he'd get away from these strange creatures.
His eyes snapped open and he shot up, but as he did pain emerged from his side. He groaned and went to his side with his hand but noticed something strange. He was lying on his back, but he fell on his face.
"God thank you you're awake." Blinking he looked around until he came face to face with a girl. A girl that was all too familiar to him. He blinked. "Alisa?"
She smiled. "We're glad you're alright."
"Alisa?" Tony asked again. Now he was confused. What the hell was going on? But before he could ask anything he was hugged from the side very tightly.
He turned his head around and saw his son hugging him. "Oh my god! You're alive! I-I thought you died!"
The two parted and Marc smiled at his father but he was confused. "What's going on?" he asked.
The two looked at him confused. "Wait, you don't know what's going on? Where were you the last five months?" Marc asked him.
Tony looked at them shocked. "Five months! I thought I was only out for a few hours!" The two teens shook their head. "No… five months. You were out for five months then. We've been hiding in the subway for these five months."
He couldn't believe it. He was in the water for five months? "No wonder my suit was running low." He murmured. He looked at Marc. "What happened in these five months and where are the others?"
His answer was silence. Tony looked at them confused. "What? Tell me what's wrong!" He said.
Alisa sighed and shook her head. "The other's are… dead, the Avengers are… dead Tony."
His eyes grew wide in shock. "What!? No! B-But… how? No one can bring down Bruce! Or Natasha! Or Clint! Or anyone! How?" He couldn't take this in. No this was not true!
"It's true dad." Marc sighed. "Bruce was hit with a death spell, Thor was fighting Loki and lost, Natasha and Clint died in an explosion in the garage, Steve…" Marc stopped at Steve.
Though Tony ignored that statement and couldn't believe it. "LOKI DESTROYED MY CARS!?"
"Tony!" Alisa snapped. "Lena lost her parents in that explosion! She's devastated! We have someone still to go to like Jane or Betty, but Lena has no one!" She slightly yelled at him.
Tony nodded. "I-I… I'm sorry. I didn't mean it like that. I just can't… believe that they died. I thought nothing could kill them." He said sighing. Tony tried to sit differently but winced as pain ran through his side again. He clenched his teeth as he groaned.
Alisa went to his side and made him lie down. "Take it easy, you're injured on your side. Seems like something stabbed in you or you got stabbed."
"Probably from the explosion." Tony muttered as he took a deep breath to handle the pain.
"When are the others coming back?" Marc asked Alisa and she shrugged. "Not sure. From what I heard is that Eric and Lena wanted to help Zack."
"Wait, you don't think."
"Yes exactly what you think. I talked to him before about his situation. He asked me how long I needed to take to master with my powers, so…" Alisa started as she took care of Tony's injury. Tony had also noticed that the side was open but he was still in his suit. Probably Marc helped her there since he knew how to use his suit.
"I CAN'T!" A yell stopped her and they all looked up. Alisa sighed. "Guess that didn't work." She mumbled.
Marc looked at the three figures that were coming their way. They could see Zack and Lena arguing and Eric just ignoring them.
Tony turned to Marc. "Hey buddy, can you help me out of this suit? It's useless anyway, out of power." He asked and his son nodded. "Sure." He said. He walked over to his father taking over Alisa's part of watching him and helping him taking off his suit. It took a little bit but they were doing it piece by piece. First Marc helped Tony remove his arm since they already took off his helmet.
Alisa saw them walking over to them. "Hey guys, did it work?"
Lena shook her head. "No Zack still doesn't want to try." She said and Zack sighed. "I don't want to hurt you Lena!"
"I can take care of myself Zack. You don't have to worry about me." Lena told him seriously. Zack was about to say something but a voice stopped him. "Hey kiddo, she's a Romanoff and a Barton, nothing can kill her."
All three of them turned to the voice and slightly brightened up. "Tony!" They all yelled. "You're awake!" Lena stated smiling.
Tony smiled at Lena. "Ah, why can't I get that reaction out of your mother?" Mentioning Natasha, Lena slightly flinched. She really hated to think of her parents, but she could take it. She smiled at him. "Yea."
Though trying to hide her flinching Tony still noticed it. Tony smiled at her. "Hey don't worry, if things work out you can live with me and Pepper and Marc. We'll take care of you kiddo."
Lena slightly smiled at him. "Thanks Tony. That means something to me. Really." Tony smiled at her as well.
"I don't want to ruin the happy moment here but we need to get down to business. Does Tony even know what's going on?" Eric asked and Marc slightly nodded his head as he took a part of his suit leg off. "Sort of."
Eric nodded. "Does he know our plan?" Marc shook his head.
"What plan?" He asked the kids.
Zack sighed. "We're planning on taking on Loki, to avenge our parents or at least our friends, uncles our family."
Tony nodded. "I understand. Care to have some help with that?" He asked and they all looked at him with wide eyes. "Seriously? You really want to help us?" Alisa asked and Tony nodded. "Yea, I want to show him a piece of my mind for destroying my plane and cars."
Everyone looked at him with a raised eyebrow. Tony stuttered. "AND because he killed my friends!"
"Well not everyone." Eric muttered.
"Eric, I though you said you were not going to fight with him." Alisa stated. He sighed and shook his head. "Tony needs to know."
"What do I need to know?" He asked looking at the teens as Marc helped him remove his chest plate, the last piece of his Iron Man suit. Marc sighed. "Steve's alive."
"Capsickle is alive?" Tony said sitting up. Eric nodded. "Yea."
"Well where is he?" He asked looking around.
Alisa sighed and hung her head. "He's with the others survivors."
"Well why isn't he here?"
"Because he thinks it's a suicide mission and that we're insane." Marc said while throwing a piece of Tony's armor away. Tony still kept his right hand on because that was still working and they could use another weapon, but hearing that Steve gave up kind of shocked him. Why?
"Is he crazy?" He asked but everyone shook their heads. "No he's just major depressed that he failed his team and family. He doesn't want to do anything anymore." Lena told him and Tony frowned.
Tony had enough. He stood up and started to walk down the subway tunnel where the teens came from. "Where are you going dad?" Marc called out.
"To talk some sense into our captain." Tony said as he kept on walking. The teens looked at each other before getting up and following Tony. They really wanted to see this and maybe help out.
Tony is alive! Marc can't believe it and is extremely happy. Especially since Tony want's to help out. So Tony wants to talk to Steve. Wonder how that will turn out. Will it be easy, will it be hard? Will they just simply talk? Or will it turn into a fight?
So just click the button at the bottom to review. It's right there. Not to far away.
