CLANG!!!
Tony's eyes shot open. Nothing had happened. Everyone stood in shocked silence. Captain America's shield was imbedded in the wall. Tony silently blessed Steve's wonderful shield throwing timing.
The clock tower descended into chaos, as it rang twelve O'clock. Tony couldn't help but smile. He had survived another year.
"Peter get Tony!" Steve's voice shouted over the clamor of gun fire.
"I got you Mr. Stark," Peter pulled out a knife, and began cutting away the duct tape.
"Thanks kid," Tony sighed. He couldn't even put into words how glad he was that he was still alive.
"Come on, we gotta get you out of here," Peter grabbed him and pulled him up, "It's this way to the stairs."
They sprinted down the stairs. Tony wanted more than anything to go help with the fight, but he knew he couldn't help much, especially with his face being smashed, which was making horribly unstable. They burst out of the building, and there waiting for them was the leader of the hydra agents. Tony didn't hesitate to grab Peter and pull the kid behind him, as the man pulled out a gun.
"I told you, you weren't going to live unless told what we needed to know," The man shouted. This year was really not off to a great start. There was a enraged caterwaul, and out of nowhere an angry ball of black fur lept on the man's head. There was a growl, and Jax leapt out from a different direction, and chomped down on his arm, Sapphire dive bombed him from above. The gun went off, but hit nothing but the ground. Tony took the opportunity to get revenge on his poor broken nose. He tackled the guy to the ground.
"Midget off," Tony ordered. He need a clear shot at knocking the guy out. Tony decked the guy hard, and knocked him out. The man had multiple deep scratches on his face. Tony laughed. He was glad to be on the cat's good side.
