NOVEL NEXT You were Sloppy
****Big thanks to Charlie Puente-Duany for your support it truly means a lot to me*****
It's been a while but Tony had given the MKII a new paint coat and was now before his T.V with a glass at hand.
On the screen it showed the devastation the ten rings were causing in Afghanistan. The picture made his blood boil as he remembered his time in captivity as well as Ho Yinsen.
His face hardened as he made a decision and placed the glass on the counter.
In Afghanistan;
Missiles fell from the sky causing deafening explosions along with giant dust clouds. Screams resounded as women took their children and tried to escape from the gunfire.
One family rushed into a building to hide but were spotted, two men rushed after them. The terrorist soon began round up the women and children and lined up the men before a wall.
A man tried to stick with his family but he was pried off as his children and wife were moved to a truck.
His son called out to him as he rushed to his side. The son managed to get to his father's side to give him a hug before the leader came over and ripped him off before pushing the man to the ground and stomping his chest a few times and ordering hi man to have the man kneel.
A gun was then pointed to his head with his family watching in terror, but just before they could pull the trigger a sound was heard which drew their attention.
Looking up they saw a sight they were sure to never forget, above them was a flying human shaped metal man.
The metal man landed right before a terrorist, in the iconic superhero pose. The terrorist looked the metal man look right at him and panicked, he pulled on the trigger releasing a hail off bullets but his gun caused no damage.
Ironman ignored it and slapped him into a building, that became the fuse. Everyone began firing at Ironman who ignored it and raised his arms firing repulsor blasts at all the terrorist.
Ironman managed to take out a few, turning to the rest he saw they each had hostages. They had their guns pointed at the hostages and shouted for him to put his arms down.
Ironman watched them for a few and placed his hands to his side. In his HUD he locked on to all the terrorist and before they could react launched mini rockets taking them all out.
All the hostages remained silent, all scared of this metal man. The boy restled his way out his mother's arms and rushed to hug his father.
The boy watched as Ironman walked to a building and smashed his hand through a wall and pulled out the leader flinging him on to the ground.
"He's all yours", Ironman left those words as he flew off. Ironman soon locked on to the Jericho missiles but before he could destroy them he was shot down by a tank.
Ironman climbed out of the pit, before avoiding another blast from the tank. He aimed at the tank and destroyed it with one rocket.
He turned ignoring the pitiful resistance from the terrorist and took to the skies destroying the last of the Jericho missiles and then flying away.
In New York, Eve's club.
A report about what had happened in Afghanistan was handed over to her. After glancing through she had but one word to say, "impressive".
Eve was interrupted by Chris walking into her office. "Chris... to what do I owe this unexpected visit?"
"how long have we known each other?" Chris asked a question which confused Eve. " I don't know years? I mean, we fought Hydra together"
"Right, we were all in that squad under the captain. We even got to meet Captain America a few times didn't we?" Chris spoke with a smile as though recalling fond times.
"Indeed we did, why are we recalling old war stories though?" Eve asked a sinking feeling forming in her gut.
"Eve, Eve, Eve I am just reminding you that I know you so well. A few nights ago I set a trap for the Batman but... he got help, someone came to help him, did you know?"
"I had no idea." Eve responded to which Chris began to chuckle. "You are a good liar, I'll give you that."
Eve put on a puzzled look, but it changed soon enough when Chris showed her a video. In the video a man was being tortured , the reason Eve had a panicked look on her face.
The man in the video was one of her many informants she had at Chris side to obtain information, and this guy, was the one who told her about the trap that night.
"Oh Eve, you were sloppy."
