The Young Avengers

Crash Down

"Why the hell are you here!?" Tony questioned, trying to keep his voice low so the alien torturing Strange wouldn't hear us.

"It was such a long way down, and I just thought of grabbing onto the ship and the suit did. It's amazingly intuitive. If anything, this is your fault." Peter said trying to find an excuse. My eyes went wide at the end.

"What did you say?" Tony asked in a very dad toned voice. Cringing I looked over at Peter to see his eyes go wide.

"I take that back." He said quickly. "And now I'm in space." He sighed

"Yeah, right where I didn't want you to be." Tony exclaimed. "This isn't Coney Island, this isn't a field trip. This is a one way ticket." Peter and I stepped back, getting scared of how scared Tony sounded. "You hear me?" He asked.

"Yes sir." I whispered. "I tried, we thought-" I started to say, but Tony cut me off.

"Don't pretend you thought this through. I know you didn't think this through."

"You can't be the friendly neighborhood Spider-man if there is no neighborhood." Peter said leaving all of us in silence. Tony looked at Peter like he grew another head. "Okay, that didn't really make sense, but you know what I'm trying to say." Letting out a shaky breath, Tony looked over his shoulder at the Doctor.

"Come on, we have a situation." Tony sighed and guided us towards the edge. "See him down there? He's in trouble, what's your plan? Go." Taking in the situation, Peter crouched down while I stood behind him. Below us we could see the alien without a nose seemingly torturing Dr. Strange, thin spikes surrounding him.

"Ok, ok, Let's see." Peter mumbled.

"Peter!" I yelled in a whisper, "The night we watched all of those space movies! The last one we watched." Smiling Peter turned to Tony.

"Ok. Did you ever see this really old movie, Aliens?" Peter asked Tony. Rolling his eyes Tony looked at Peter expectantly. "Ok, here's the plan. You will fly down there," He points to a spot behind the alien. "You have to get his attention and before he attacks you blow a hole there." He instructs him pointing to a wall to our right. "Billy and I will grab Strange before he flies out of the ship. Then you close up the hole."

"That may work." Tony said getting ready to go through with the plan. "Let's do this." Tony quietly flew over to the spot Peter suggested. Suddenly Dr. Strange screamed in pain, while the alien continued his villain monologue. Tony bangs his fist against a metal pillar and raised his arms like he was going to fire his hand cannons.

"I could end your friends life in an instant." He spoke slowly.

"I gotta tell you, he's not really my friend. This is more of a professional courtesy."

"You've saved nothing. Your powers are inconsequential compared to mine." He said lifting large metallic cubes.

"Yeah, but the kids have seen more movies." Tony said almost shrugging as he launched a mini rocket out of his shoulder. In seconds the alien was sucked out of the ship and into the void of space, sending the blocks of metal with him. Strange followed him quickly after. Flying after him, I grabbed his arm with one hand and tried to grab pillar with the other. The suction of the hole was to strong for me, causing me to get ripped off the pillar. Before Strange and I flew out of the hole I felt Peter's webbing hit my abdomen, stopping me and Strange from flying out. I looked up towards Peter to see weird metallic arms holding him from flying out of the hole.

"What are those?" Peter thought out loud. Peter pulled us back in while Tony shot nanobots out of his gauntlets to repair the wall. Peter dropped me and Strange on the floor and landed himself next to Stephens cloak. "Hey, we haven't officially met." He said holding his hand out to the cloak, making me chuckle and shake my head. The cloak flew back to Stephen and attached itself to his back. Tony walked past Stephen and I, his suit retreating back into his jacket.
