"Aannnd here is your payment!" Tony dropped five pennies in your hand, you raised an eyebrow. "What?" he asked innocently.
"You're ridiculous!" you teased, tossing a penny back to him.
"Well I just..." Tony's face twisted, his hand went to his heart. "S-something's not right," he muttered.
"What's not right?" you looked at his heart... it was pulsing. "What's happening?"
"I don't know... I-oh shit." Tony looked past you, he stumbled towards the window, you held him up as the two of you looked at the river. "The fusion reactor..." he muttered, your blood ran cold.
"Spider-Man will stop him, right? He-He always does..." you jumped as a car flew past the tower, the pennies clattered to the ground, they were... glowing? Tony grabbed his heart, your eyes widened. "Tony? Tony?!"
"My..." he gasped, gripping his chest, he was holding something back. All the metal in the room flew at you all, you grabbed Tony and dragged him off into a corner, shielding the both of you with a couch, the springs had been ripped out. "Y-you need to go, go find P-Pepper, get underground! A-and survive... you survive do you hear me?" he gripped your hand tightly, you just nodded, tears were streaming down your face. "Good... N-Now go."
"Tony-"
"GO! GO! GET OUT!" he roared, and the building started to creak."No, no Tony I can't leave-" you tried to hug him... he was your mentor, this wasn't how he died...
Tony gave you one last hug before pushing you off of him, tears brimming in his eyes. "Go kid. I-I'll see you on the other side," he muttered.
You gave a small nod as you stumbled back, you grabbed the plans and stuffed them into your bag... Wait, wait Tyra!
"GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE! PLEASE!" Tony pleaded."I NEED TO-"
SPLUNK!Tony's arc reactor shot out of him, and out the window. You screamed as you rushed over to him.
"Y-You're so stubborn, do you know that?" Tony muttered weakly.
"I-I learned it f-from the best..." you stammered.
Tony gave a weak smile "Nice one kid..." he squeezed your hand one last time before the life left his body.
"Tony?" you asked, you didn't get a response. "Tony? Tony answer me!" you slapped him across the face, he didn't wake up. "No, no no no no-AHHHH!" you screamed as a hammer barely missed your head, you had to get out of here. You looked around, trying to figure out how to get out of here. Your eyes landed on the glowing pennies... copper. You had to find copper. Your eyes landed on the Statue of Liberty, it was lit up like a god damn Christmas tree, that's where you were going... But you had to find Pepper first.
Your body screamed as you held the sun, 60, 59, 58... you started to count in your head. It usually took about a minute. But it was the longest, most agonizing minute of your life. You heard the others cry out in surprise as you took its full power, you were starting to get lightheaded... Maybe this time it would kill you. You started to sweat, you were getting cooked alive, every time you got cooked alive. 5, 4, 3, 2... 1.
You screamed out as you raised your arms, the energy released into the sky, you felt a satisfying boom as it hopefully hit something From Above, if it didn't... oh well. What mattered is that it was gone, and now you got to sleep.
"...that was insane," Anura muttered, Gunther stared at you in awe as he held your unconscious body. How did you do it? You were... incredible.
"So she's just out?" Aaron asked.
