The Royal Asgardian

Chapter 102

Tony looks at the Hulk-made opening through the ceiling and sees debris flying by outside.

He exits the Sanctum through the front door and we follow.

He scans the chaotic surroundings, people running and screaming in alarm, traffic becoming impossibly tangled, a litter-filled wind like a nor'easter's. A woman falls nearly at his feet and he helps her up.

Tony Asks her "You okay?"

The woman ignores him and runs away. A car crashes in on a pole behind Tony.

Tony yells "Help him! Wong, Doc."

Bruce just yells "Go! Got it!"

I walk next to Dr Strange and Wong.

Tony Yells back to Strange. "Hey! You might wanna put that Time Stone in your back pocket, Doc!"

Doctor Strange instead Bands of spells are readied around his forearms. "Might wanna use it." He readies himself.

A mechanical hum grows louder as Tony approaches the intersection. As he turns the corner, he sees a huge circular ship floating over Bleecker Street.

"He's here.... Ebony Maw..." I say more to myself.

Tony "F.R.I.D.A.Y., evac anyone south of 43rd Street, notify first responders."

F.R.I.D.A.Y.: Will do.

Doctor Strange throws the Winds of Watoomb over Bleeker Street, and winks at Tony. I chuckle at the two. The dust clears. Tony is begrudgingly amused for a split second.

Then Ebony Maw and Cull Obsidian exit the ship by transmat.

Ebony Maw voice rings out. "Hear me, and rejoice. You are about to die at the hands of the Children of Thanos. Be thankful, that your meaningless lives are now contributing to..."

Tony starts Echoing the familiarly defiant 2008 Tony Stark. "I'm sorry, Earth is closed today. You better pack it up and get outta here."

Ebony Maw just Looks at Strange "Stonekeeper... " then he Gestures to Tony "Does this chattering animal speak for you?"

Doctor Strange high and mighty response "Certainly not. I speak for myself." Magical shields are readied with his fists, stepping forward. "But you're trespassing in this city and on this planet." Wong emulates him.

"Ebony Maw the Avengers shouldn't be taken lightly ." I say as I step forward.

Tony Just looks at me then Maw. "She's right and he means get lost, Squidward!"

Ebony Maw rolls his eyes "He exhausts me."

Cull Obsidian makes a noise.

Ebony Maw says to him "Bring me the Stone."

Cull Obsidian makes another noise. He then drops his huge alien hammer and drags it along as he obeys his brethren.

Tony Looks to Bruce "you want a piece?"

Bruce Kind if scared and not prepared "No, not really, but when do I ever get what I want?"

Tony "That's right."

Bruce attempts to release the Hulk. Instead of Hulk coming out easily, the most that turns green is Bruce's neck

Tony optimistic . "Been a while. Good to have you, buddy."

Bruce Is struggle "I just... I need to concentrate here for one second. Come on, come on, man."

Tony A little impatient as Cull Obsidian gets closer. "Where's your guy?"
