Hey guys.
A lot of you have asked for me to make the chapters longer, and believe me it annoys me too about how short they are.
I considered joining some of the chapters together, but then I sort of decided not to
Look on the bright side - this way you get the updates a lot more often
The Beta thing is still up for grabs you know (seriously does no one want it?)
So yeah
Ironman meets Jack this chapter
fun
Enjoy!
and don't forget to review!
Jack's POV
Jack was sitting on top of the statue of liberty. He was bored. He really wanted to go visit Jamie, or perhaps start a snowball fight with the kids in New York. But he knew that wouldn't happen. He couldn't leave the city till the snow storm dissipated and he doubted any of the kids would be outside or even awake at this time of night. Jack sighed. He hated being bored.
Jack glanced up, then froze. He blinked. He had to be imagining things. Why on earth was a . . . Okay, Jack didn't know what the metal humanoid was, but what was it doing? Jack tilted his head to one side. For some reason the metal man seemed to be looking at him.
"Who are you?" Jack blinked. The metal man could speak. "Why did you attack New York?"
Jack frowned. Was it talking to him? It did seem to be. But that was impossible. Not even machines could see him. Machines couldn't believe.
Shrugging, Jack decided to ignore the metal man. He tilted his head to one side to listen to the Wind. It was whispering that there were some power lines on the other side of the icy that the snow was going to bring down soon. Jack couldn't stop the event from happening but he could at least prevent anyone from being hurt.
The Wind swirled around him, showing him where to go, Jack shifted, ready to jump from his pearch when –
"DANGER" The Wind suddenly yelled in his ear.
Jack turned his head towards the metal man, his staff raised to fight as a beam of energy narrowly missed him, striking the statue by his foot. Jokul glared.
"Look kid." The man of metal was speaking to him. "I asked you a question." The man of metal had raised his arm as though to fire another shot at him. "Now stop the storm."
Jokul's glare intensified. How dare this man think to command the Elements. "Who are you?" He demanded.
"I'm Ironman of the Avengers. Now are you going to tell be your name or do I get to play name the Ice Villain?"
Jokul hissed. This was the Man of Iron? He'd heard his Uncle's stories about the metal super hero, but why was he attacking Jokul?
Jokul twisted his face into a snarl. "Sometimes I go by Jokul Frosti."
"Frosty the Snowman?" the Man of Iron asked. "Cool"
Jokul glared. He hated that snowman. He could no longer say his name without making people think of a cheery cartoon any more. Now what had his Uncle said the Man of Iron's name was? Oh, right –
"I do not appreciate the nicknames Tony Stark."
Jokul could have sworn the Man of Iron was laughing at him fron under his mask.
"I hope you don't think that makes you special kid." The Man of Iron taunted. "My identity isn't really all that big a secret."
Jack rolled his eyes. Why did he even care? Though it was unusual that an abult could see him, he had work to do. He did not have time to be offended by some man in an iron suit.
But that didn't mean he couldn't have a little fun.
"Hey Wind!" he called, ignoring how Ironman jumped at the loud noise. "Do you want to play a game?"
"What are you talking about Frosty?" Ironman asked. But Jack didn't listen. Instead flashing a cheeky grin as the Wind gave the affirmative.
"Its called tag. I run. You follow. I don't let you catch me." Jack would have loved to be able to see the man's face at that. Ah well, he would live.
Ironman snorted. "Bit bipolar aren't you kid?"
Jack laughed. "Never said I wasn't. You game?"
In answer Ironman rushed Jack. Jack grinned, like Ironman could take him by surprise. He put his head to one side slightly and called out quietly.
"Wind."
