HELLFIRE ༄ Tony Stark

SEVENTEEN

CHAPTER SEVENTEEN:
THE TRAITOR

As it's been sometime, I would like to have a recap for both of our sakes. Last we heard Lucifer was the first godmother in the worlds, is super powerful but gets defeated by a pesky summoning spell and Peter's puppy eyes.

Everyone is fed up with Lucifer and the casual sacrifices she makes with Peter (bad influence), and hope to get rid of her asap (good influence). Tony is struggling with his very professionally acquainted intern and no personal feeling in there at all. Nope.

Clint has been left in the vents to die from a bullet gifted to him by super bro Bucky Barnes, who is "the broest bro to ever bro" as quoted by Steve, and is now being held in the tower's holding cell while the team tries to come up with something.

Back to the story, The Avengers and Co. decide to call Mr. Doctor (very strange name) to help ward the tower against HYDRA agents. Lucifer took it upon herself to offer her help and magic as well. Together, the duo decided to come up with a plan to layer some shields (hehe) around to stop HYDRA.

They made 10 in total, all ranging from a spell to subconsciously influence anyone with ill intention to go back, like they've forgotten something. Left the oven on, didn't lock their doors, the lights are still on in the house, that kind of stuff (This was Peter's suggestion because last week he binged Harry Potter). To such extreme spells such as shocking them with high voltage and then stunning them, locking them up with their top-notch handcuffs and assorted security measures and then knocking them unconscious.

Lucifer thought it would be better to just torch them until they closely resemble a burnt chicken. And then display their dead bodies in front of the tower so it can be a lesson to all other enemies, stay away from the sweet sweet puppy called Peter Parker. 

That got a very loud no from everyone in the room—including Natasha and she's a bloodthirsty demon.

"I still think it would've been great if we'd added my little harmless spell."

"Lucifer, I have no respect for you at all, but I can feel it somehow going even lower—" Tony needed a drink, a very strong drink. Maybe they have something in the fridge?

"—You wanted to burn them!—" They have strawberry juice which he threw out and made FRIDAY do an investigation to find out who bought them so they can be terminated. Pepper is allergic, you ignorant fools!

"—And then display them like a grotesque art gallery!"

"Just a small show of power, my dear," Lucifer swirled her glass of wine as she kicked back her feet and relaxed on Stark's comfy sofa.

Oh, look! Orange juice, the best drink ever besides cold home water. Water everywhere else tastes weird, only home water is good and you can't change Tony's mind. He tried water at Rhodey's place and let me tell you, never again. He's traumatized.

Peter, that traitor, was sitting next to Lucifer and chatting almost aggressively on his phone. His friends probably. He huffed which prompted Lucifer to reach out a hand without looking and petting the puppy on the head. Said puppy smiled and calmed down.

Like Tony said, traitor.

"Mr. Stark," The Traitor looked up, "Can I invite Ned and MJ over this week?"

"While we have the literal devil on our hands?"

"Yes."

"And the Winter Soldier locked in our basement?"

"Yes."

"And with Clint haunting the vents? Where is Clint, by the way?"

"He's on bedrest but I think he escaped and is attacking unassuming staff, but yes."
