One Dance 3: Illusions

20.

"Okay, everyone! We're stopping by St. Paul's Cathedral to stretch our legs and then it's on to Big Ben!"

"MJ, can you get a pic of us together?" you asked.

"Uh, sure," she said with an awkward smile.

She took a cute photo of you and Sam in the sunny park area of the cathedral.

"It's perfect, thank you MJ. Do you want a picture too?"

"No, I'm...fine, thanks."

The three of you awkwardly nodded, and you pulled Sam away to go walk around the rest of the park.

Suddenly Mr. Dell came off of the tour bus and ordered everyone to get back onto it. You tried not to look worried, but it wasn't easy.

Your stomach felt uneasy as you boarded the bus. Mysterio was on his way and you needed an excuse to stay away from the others.

"I know you can't really tell me what's going on, y/n, but if there's something I can do to help—"

Thunder roared above the bus and clouds moved over the sky rapidly. The bus had just started to go over the Tower Bridge and the thunder made the bridge feel shaky.

A huge flash of lightning struck a part of its foundation, blocking off a path to go backwards off of the bridge. Cars suddenly sped by as everyone tried to leave the bridge in a rush.

An elemental began to rise out of the Thames River below you and you started to push Sam out of her seat.

"You guys need to go, now. Sam!"

She climbed out of her seat and followed the students as they began to exit the bus in a hurry.

The teachers followed the students off of the bus and you exited slowly, watching the elemental get bigger by the second.

"Stark, let's go!" Mr. Dell yelled and you hurried off the bus after them.

They were only a few feet ahead of you when a huge piece of rubble fell in front of you, blocking off the only exit.

Some of the class looked back, but the others kept running. Mr. Harrington was trying to make everyone move until he saw you trapped on the other side.

"Y/n!" Sam yelled.

You started to climb over but more rocks fell on top of it, inches from crushing you.

"Go, before this whole thing collapses!"

"Y/n, I can't—"

"Go, Sam!"

You looked at her as convincingly as you could. You hated these goodbyes more than anything. A promise that you would return home that you couldn't ensure was kept.

A loud whirring sound blared in your ears as you looked to your right. Your stomach rose into your throat.

A quinjet. Tony's quinjet.

The elemental raised itself up to your height and continued to go higher until it was a tower over you.

Water rushed over the bridge and you grabbed onto a nearby cement fixture.
