" Tony! There's too many of them, we have to retreat," yelled the voice of captain America over the intercom.
" Jarvis, how long can we hold out?" Tony barked.
" sir, we can't hold them off for much longer, The Black Widow is already wounded and the Hulk is being swamped by the enemy," Jarvis cautioned.
" We can't leave now! I just got a fix on Skyler," Tony growled as he flew faster.
The enemy captain and leader of this outpost was trying to get away in his car. Tony grabbed his shoulders and flew upwards.
" I underestimated you Skyler, you're more of a coward than I remembered," Tony said with an unseen wink.
" I am not afraid of you, Iron Man," Skyler growled menacingly but with a note of fear in his voice.
" Then what?" Tony asked curiously.
" The Wolf Queen," Skyler whimpered.
Tony laughed out loud.
" And who would that be? I've never heard of anyone called The Wolf Queen in all of my days of my father's," Tony recalled.
" You will know who this is by the end of this week, she knows you're here and she is angry when you invade her territory," Skyler informed.
Tony grunted and then dropped the captain, he fell with a scream and hit the ground, dying instantly.
" Help us down here Tony," Thor cried desperately as he hit enemy after enemy.
Tony dove downwards but his armour started to spark, his jets stopped functioning and he free fell towards the ground with a yell of surprise.
" Jarvis, get us back online now!" Tony yelled.
The crackle of static reached him.
" Come on, Come on!" Tony cried.
Just as he braced for impact something caught him and he was slowly lowered to the ground. He looked around wildly but a deep voice, thickly accented and sounding Australian, spoke to him.
" Keep still," It hissed.
He landed softly and looked up to see a shadow leap away from him and race in to the forest without a sound or a trace. He had just been saved, but by who?
