25. War is… Fun.

I flew up towards the Eye of the portal, as the

Chitauri got close a huge array of Missiles appeared on my shoulders and back.

I littered them destroying the current Chitauri coming.

Jarvis: "Sir. We can't continue this indefinitely. We will run out of Nanites before you destroy all of the army." - "I know."

I stopped going up and stayed next to a chariot. When they went to blast me I hit them with blue mist and there eyes turned Blue. I attached disks on there necks. "Stay safe for a moment."

"Jarvis. See if we can hack into there machine body parts." - "Of course."

"Now. Who wants to play follow the leader!" I see a bunch does. Let's move then.

When I moved closer to my tower when they are all in a line, I stop and use a massive Avada Kedavra. A green light shoots out of my repusler. It hits the first target then continues back all the way to the last one. "Good. Let's find more." [A.N. Yes in using Hogwarts Legacy Mechanics.]

I rounded up another group when Natasha finally caught up. "Stark, we're on your three, headed north east." - "What. Did you take a nap. Swing up park. I'm gonna lay 'em out for you."

I swing around my building taking a few out on some buildings before I flew In fornt of Nat and she took most of them out.

I stopped in mid air and formed a sword, then cut down the last two.

Jarvis: "Sir, we have more incoming." - "Thanks J. Let's greet them."

I flew back up and some Self contained Magical Cannons flew out and ahead of me firing different types of spells to see which ones work the best.

I took a quick moment to realize I need to think up a better name for them.

.

.

As I shot a Combat Bolt threw a group a loud creaking noise can be head.

I stopped in my tracks and looked up to see the first Leviathan come through.

"So that's a Leviathan. It's a lot bigger then I expected."

Steve: "Stark. You seeing this?" - "Seeing yes. Believeing. I'm trying. Do you have Banner? He here yet?" - "Banner?" - "Just keep me posted."

"Jarvis, you see a soft spot? Or am I going to have to make my own?"

I flew close but far enough away to not get it's attention as I scanned it until I got the answer I didn't want. "Sir. It appears its armor is surrounding its whole body." - "That's what I expected. Thanks." - "Always, Sir."

I came close and decided to try a few spells. [Sectumsempra.] not even a mark. [Duro.] come on. That should've turned it to stone. Does it have a anti magic effect on it. Last one. [Avada Kedavra.] Like I expected. The armor blocked it.

Micro missiles came out of my back, hitting it getting its attention. I'll try my big boys later. Let's just keep it's attention until Hulk gets here.

.

.

Thor: "The Power surrounding the cube is impenetrable."

"Thor's right. we have to deal with these guys for now. Any word on Banner."

…. Captain: "Stark we got him." - "Banner? Good. I'm bringing the party to you. You'll love it Romanoff. It's like déjà vu for you."

Natasha: "This. This is one party I want to leave."

I laughed as I rounded the building bringing the Leviathan with me.

As Hulk punched the Leviathan in its face sending its backend in the air I seen my soft spot and I sent a missile from my wrist that also has a spell laced on it.

As the Leviathan exploded with the help of Reducto all of the Leviathan was exploded into tiny harmless pieces.

As the Chitauri screamed we all got in a circle as I slowly descended.

When I landed Rhodey and.. Pepper landed with me.

[Armors.]

"What are you doing here. You're supposed to be on a plane." - "When I seen what's happening I couldn't not help."

Rhodey: "This is.. mayhem." - "Yep. Welcome to the party."

Natasha: "Guys."

I looked up and seen more Leviathans come out.

"I think we need some help."

Clint: "Help would be nice."

"I smiled I'm glad you said that."

Jarvis: "Is it time?" - "It is."

From my tower Ironman armors flew out from many of the floors, while other shot out shield pods.

Steve: "Is that?" - "Yep, help. There's a reason why people call me a futurist."

Rhodey: "I love you so much right now man." - "Let's leave that for later. Cap, call it."

Steve: "All right. Listen up. Until we can close that portal, our priority is containment.

Pepper, help the Armors get people to safety."

"I sent out shields to set up safe zones. Jarvis will show you." - "Thanks. Be safe." - "You too. Go kick ass."

Steve: "Barton, I want you on the roof. Eyes on everything. Call out patterns and strays.

Stark. Lieutenant Colonel, you guys got the Perimeter. Anything gets more than three blocks out, You turn it back or turn it to ash."

Clint: "Can you give me a lift?"

"Or I can do this. J" - "Of course."

Nanites flew to him and a jet pack formed on his back and he was off.

"Ready?"

Rhodey: "Let's stop an invasion."

I took off and sent out Hundreds of Drones to better help see around the city.

As I flew through some buildings I noticed I gained a tail. Man they really love me.

A portal appeared in front of me and I came out behind the ground.

A blue haze surrounded them all and crushed them as I clinched my fist. I swiped my hand out and they all hit a Chitauri on a building.

"This is easy. Let's keep it going." - "Sir. I might want to remind you to not get too far ahead of yourself." - "I'm not. I'm actually just getting started."

.

.

.

As I'm jumping from chariot to chariot taking them out with nano blade, I see I'm coming closer to a Leviathan. I smash my hand down in the chariot and a red bolt of energy shot out and bounced between the rest in front of me wiping them out.

I went full speed ahead at the Leviathan when I suddenly slowed down and had to rethink my move when I seen it heading right at a building.

Blue energy covered the side of its face and pushed it away towards me, then I finished it with a huge mystical sword.

"Hey. I guess it worked."

.

As I shot down a rider I almost ran into Rhodey. "How you holding up?" - "It's definitely a different type of war." I fully agree. "Yeah, you think. How's the suit holding up?"

A railgun formed on his back and shot down a Incoming chariot. "I love it." - "Good. Have fun."

I made my way back towards the center to see how Steve and Natasha was doing.

When I got close I dove down to the road and cut some down before I landed and shot at Captains shield to help him mow some down.

I went airborne again and took out the ones climbing the building Clint is on with well placed pistol rounds.

I noticed Natasha in a chariot and had some friends trying to take her down town. So being the friend I am, I can by to say hi myself.

I got close and two Reducto bullets shot out from my wrist talking out the two bullies. I went slightly ahead of her and flipped around to look at her. "You going to shut down the Portal?" - "Yeah. You think I should before the nuke?" - "We close it soon enough the nuke might not come." - "That's what I'm hoping." - "How's the suit by the way?" - "Not to bad." - "Good. See you around."

I shot forward to Greet more foreigners.

.

As I'm flying straight at a Leviathan I can't help but think this better work.

Black flames came out of the palm of my hands and formed a huge dragon the size of a Leviathan and met it straight on, turning everything the flames touch into ash. When it was done it let out a roar and died out.

"Jarvis. Do you know how it Roared. It was just flames?" - "I've never understood magic Sir." - "Sometimes I don't either."

In my amusing 30 chariots surounded me, then they let lose.

I couldn't move or even set up a counter as every moment was met with a energy bolt that threw me around.

I finally got a gap, so I swiped my hand sending out a energy blade to give me a bigger opening.

Fury: "Stark. Do you hear me? Do you have a missile headed straight for the city."

There goes closing it early. "How long?" - "Three minutes, Max. The payload will wipe out Midtown."

I shot off the ground then turned my feet into a huge thruster to use that gap I made to get above them. Once above I sent out a Micro missile for each one of them as a gift for not letting me move.

After that split second slow down to deliver my gifts I went full force towards the jet hoping to get to it before it releases the payload as a last ditch effort.

As I got close I seen it leave the jet. "Shit. Time for plan C. Through the portal.

I stopped behind it and changed my direction to match it went under it. Once my back touched it my suit started to slightly form around it to make sure I don't lose it.

Natasha: "I can close it. I can close the Portal. Does anyone copy."

Steve: "Do."

"No! Wait." - "Stark, These things are still coming." - "I know, but we were to late. A nuke got sent in and it'll blow in less than a minute, and I know exactly where I want to put it." - "Stark. You know that's a one way trip."

Pepper: "Tony. You better not go in there with it." - "I'm sorry Pep. I have to. But I'll make it back. I promise." - "You better. We still have Jessi to raise."

I made a portal in front of me that came out with me scaling Stark Tower.

"If for some reason I don't make it back." - "Don't! Don't say something like that."

I went through the portal.

"But I have to. If I don't make it back, tell her I love her. I love you."

Jarvis: "Si."

It was Quiet for a moment as I let go of the nuke. With me being to far away for anything from earth to connect to me everything was quiet.

When the nuke struck I turned and went at 100% back down towards the portal. I don't want to be stuck out here.

As I was going through the portal, it was closing around me, but luckily I made it through. Just barely.

I cut all of my thrusters and just free fell for a moment as I let out the breath I didn't realize I was holding.

I opened my eyes and quickly stopped myself as I was close to a building, then I finished the descent to the ground. As soon as I touched the ground I went to my knees and removed the helmet.

I thought being a ex soldier I could handle this. But this was more then I expected, and space, that, that was more then I expected. This whole day has been a lot.

Pepper flew down fast next to me and her helmet flowed off and she hugged me then kissed me. "Thank god you're safe." She smacked me. "Don't ever do that again. I don't want to be a widow. When the call cut I thought. I thought." I forced both suits to flow back into there housing units and pulled her into a tight hug. "Hey. Hey. I'm right here. I'm going nowhere."

After a second Rhodey broke the silence. "I don't want to break this touching moment, but this isn't over."

Thor: "He's right. We still have Loki."

Rhodey: "Then you can go back to each other."

I pulled away from her and wiped the few tears on her cheeks.

"You really are the worst you know."

Rhodey: "That's what I live for." We all laughed.

Steve: "Let's go finish this."

Jarvis: "Sir, I finally finished, and have access to the Chitauri systems."

I can't help but laugh to myself, as I stood back up.

As we started to walk to Stark tower. "Have any of you tried Shawarma? I seen a shop about two blocks from here. I think we should try it."

Steve: "I don't think I have."

Rhodey: "Only you can be thinking of something like that during a fight."

"What? I kept seeing it during my passes. And now I want to try it."

Pepper: "I'd love to go with you. But I need to change first."

I laughed as both of our suits formed again so we can look intimidating for Loki.

.

.

We all stood behind Loki as he crawled a bit then flipped over to look at us. "If It's all the same to you, I think I'll have that drink now."

We all stared at him until I had enough.

"Now that we're all done doing a hero pose, do any of you want to help clean this up?" Everyone scattered. "What? No one? Thor? Your brother is the reason my new building is destroyed."

Pepper put her hand on my shoulder. "Honey. We can hire people for that."

I just scoffed. Everyone's lazy.

-"Dad!"

I spun around to see Jessi walk out of a pink portal and junp on me to hug me. "I was so scared for you. I got permission from Head Mistress McGonagall to come back and see you."

Thor: "Who's this young lady?" Now you speak.

Jessi hopped off me and looked at Thor. "I'm Jessica Stark. Nice to meet you."
