Secrets of Iron

christmas patrols (no freezing this time...)

Her thoughts had been far away as she fell to the ground once more. But she didn't hit the floor as she expected. The force of the fall silenced her as she tried to scream in surprise. The only thing she heard was Ned's scream and Peter's cursing. He didn't have his webshooters with him. Expecting to collide with the frozen ground in front of the building Emma closed her eyes.

But nothing happened. The air seemed to stop around her and as she opened her eyes again she knew why. Nearly touching the ground with the tip of her nose she was hovering in the air. The suit must have activated itself and just as she had been about to hit the ground the thrusters had stopped her fall.

“Oh my god! Emma?!” Ned was still shocked.And now confusion joined the fear in his voice. He hadn't heard her hit the ground and since it was dark he couldn't see farther down. Peter was silently panicking beside him.

After calming her breaths Emma landed on the ground. It was the first time she flew in her new suit, kinda. She hadn't felt the suit form around her mid fall and was now a bit shocked by it. Her dad must've put a fall recognition or something as a trigger. Her thoughts wandered of to all the things she didn't know about her suit yet and as if the suit's AI could read her mind, which it probably could, it opened a short list of features on the edge of her vision. Scrolling throughit she got lost in her thoughts.

“What happened?...” Ned was now fully confused. How could someone dissapear in the middle of the air? “I have no clue, man...” Peter slowly got closer to the edge cautiosly. “Wait here...” He stuck to the wall of the building, slowly climbing down. To make sure nobody saw him he looked over his shoulder every few seconds. As it wasn't too far to the ground anymore he flipped off of the wall to land on the ground.

“God! Peter!” Startled she turned around. It was the first time someone saw her in her new suit, except her dad. “I told him the hood would look better wit the fabric illusion...” “You knew he was making a suit for me?”

Of course he knew. He had helped Tony with the designs since he was the one Emma faught the most with. Natasha and Peter knew her fighting probably better than anyother Avenger since they always trained together. Tony had asked both of them to help him with the designs. He later also asked Shuri, Princess of Wakanda, for help with the vibranium.

“Yeah. How do you think did he know that you like to fight in boots with heels?” There were so many little details Tony had made sure about. “He's crazy...” Peter just shrugged 'cause if you're being honest who of their group of friends including the Avengers was still completely sane? “I think we should get back to Ned. He's still on the roof...”

“Right...” Emma got ready to fly while Peter had already started to climb up the building again. He was almost at the top as Emma flew past him a bit too fast to stop at the right height.

“Did you see that? Something just flew up into the sky right here!” Peter was standing beside Ned and before he could react to his question Emma landed behind his friend. “Wait. What about Emma? Did you find her? Where is she then?”

“Right behind you.”

“Gosh! You scared me!” He pulled her into a quick hug before the whole situation reached his mind. “Wait. How did you get here so fast?”

Ignoring Ned's question Emma walked past him. The steel door was still open. “I think we should get dinner, i'm starving...” Already making her way down stairs she left the two boys standing on the roof.
