26 C26 : I am Iron Man Part 1

Nick flew over the fence and onto the motorway, where Tony and Obadiah were just getting up from the ground, before Obadiah even had a chance to make a move, Nick flew over the top of him and wrapped his tail around his neck at the same time he squeezed and caused the metal under his tail to crumple and the wiring to split and release sparks.

"ARRR!!" Obadiah screamed as the sparks hit him in the face from inside the suit, his display fluctuated and threatened to turn off.

Nick then filled his wings with the Phoenix's energy and flew high up into the sky, taking Obadiah along with him.

Felicia, Peter and Pepper watched as Nick took him high above the cloud cover and that's when Obadiah finally started fighting back, reaching for Nick's tail, trying to take the noose off his neck.

Nick let his tail go and watched as Obadiah started to fall down from where he was hovering.

Nick began to follow him down when he saw his uncle fly up towards him, "Nick! Are you alright?" Tony shouted as he turned back around mid-flight and followed Nick as he flew down after Obadiah's falling form.

Nick turned his head towards Tony who was now flying along side him, "Yeah! You?" Nick shouted back as he flapped his wings one more time, pushing him right down towards Obadiah.

Nick landed onto Obadiah's chest and he was riding him like a skateboard, using his spider abilities to stick to him through his feet and he then used his wings to direct then towards the area in front of the Ark reactor building.

Just when they were about to hit the ground Nick pushed off of him and back into the air, Tony also quickly made a move to pull back up so that he didn't hit the ground like Obadiah was just about too.

With a gigantic *BOOM!* Obadiah crashed into the ground, actually right into the same pit he climbed out of before.

Nick then slowed down his fall and flew down next to the crater, some concrete had broken up around the pit and fallen in on it's self, essentially blocking off the pit and stopping anyone from seeing what was underneath, except for Nick.

He looked down at the pit with his Byakugan activated and watched as Obadiah pulled himself out from underneath the rubble and then started running towards the Ark reactor, passed some unconscious S.H.I.E.L.D Agents and one Agent Coulson who looked like he was just waking up.

"Nick! That was awesome!" Tony yelled at Nick as he landed beside him, Nick stopped watching Obadiah and patted Tony on the shoulder as he walked towards Peter, Felicia and Pepper and towards where Obadiah was likely to spring up from.

"Thanks, but we're not done yet, he's still moving down there." Nick told his uncle as he walked, Tony froze and then followed after Nick.

"You guys should get back before this place becomes a mess." Nick told them as he walked in front of them, Felicia was just about to speak when both Peter and Nick got a bad feeling from the Ark reactor building, it was Obadiah with his right arm up preparing to fire upon them all, Tony saw him too as be was looking towards the building.

On instinct Peter jumped backwards away from the building and the bad feeling he was getting from it, Tony flew forward and grabbed Pepper and then quickly got out of the way.

When Nick saw Obadiah pointing the machine gun at Felicia he didn't even have time to think clearly and so he just teleported behind Felicia, covering her with his body.

"Take this you FREAK!!" Obadiah shouted at Nick as he let the bullets fly, Nick had spread his wings around him and Felicia as he held her from behind, protecting her from the storm of bullets coming there way.

"Urr!" Nick grunted as the bullets penetrated his back.

"Hahaha, how's that!" Obadiah shouted at Nick as he slumped down on top of Felicia.

Nick had been shot at least five times in his back and he was bleeding badly, Felicia grabbed Nick's body and lowered him down to the ground as she tried to stop the bleeding by pushing down on the bullet holes but the thick red blood made her hands slippy and it was hard for her to keep her hands over the wounds with the blood still pouring out.

"No no no no no no no, Nick! You can't die! We were just starting to know each other and I still have so much I want to do with you." Felicia cried as she continued to try and stop the bleeding Nick had passed out from the pain and so wasn't able to say anything back to her.

Tony quickly flied back after putting Pepper some where safer, he screamed at Obadiah as he flied head first into him, "You bast*rs!!!" Picking him up and taking him through the Ark reactor building and upwards to the roof where they separated when Obadiah fought back, they were then staring each other down on the roof top.

Back on the ground Peter was running up to Nick's side where he then helped Felicia keep pressure on Nick's wounds, he looked shocked and panicked when he looked at how much blood was coming from Nick's back, there was some silent mumbling underneath his breath, hoping for Nick to be okay.

Felicia was still crying and begging for Nick to wake up, that's when Nick's body suddenly became filled with red energy, the same energy that filled his wings whenever he wanted to fly extremely quickly, it was of course the Phoenix's energy and it was spilling out from Nick's body, specifically the bullet wounds on Nick's back.

Peter and Felicia were both shocked when they saw the red energy coming from Nick's back but when it started to close up the bullet holes they were filled with hope and then they knew that it was Nick healing himself.

Seconds later Peter's phone began to ring he brought it out and saw that his phone said Mr. Stark, he was shocked and quickly answered it, "Mr. Stark, Nick's okay! He's healing himself now." Peter shouted down the phone.

On the other side Tony made a sigh of relief, "That's great, but I don't have enough power to take care of this bast*rd, I need you to overload the reactor so it makes a EMP and puts this guy out of commission, I'll say when I'm off the roof and that's when you do it." Tony explained to Peter.

Peter then looked at the reactor then back at Nick and Felicia, and down at Nick's back, he was conflicted over what to do, but when he thought about what Obadiah did to Nick he became angry, "I'm going to help Mr. Stark, look after Nick." Peter told Felicia before he ran off to do what Tony asked him.

Felicia nodded her head but she wasn't really listening to him, she was to focused on Nick, seeing Nick seriously hurt had really messed with her head and put her in a state of panic and shock, it was like she wasn't able to hear or see things around her except for Nick, he was the one thing that anchored her to reality and now that he was hurt she didn't care enough to pay attention to anything else around her.

Seconds past as Nick's wounds healed and the red energy returned to hide inside Nick's body and soon Nick's eyes opened and Felicia watched as his pale blue eyes regain some of their life as they looked around and then focused on her face, "Hey... " Nick said to Felicia in a weak voice.

"Hey, are you okay? There was so much blood and I thought I lost you ... why didn't you just teleport us both away?" Felicia asked Nick as he pushed himself up off the ground.

"I didn't think that far, I just wanted to protect you." Nick said honestly as he looked around, he then looked down at the ground and saw a giant puddle of his blood.

He focused on the blood and used his telekinetic power's to collect it all into a small ball, he then opened his mouth and he let the ball of blood go down his throat, "Ur gross." He exclaimed.

Felicia watch him, confused at why he would do that, "Why did you do that?" She asked him.

"I don't want anyone to clone me." Nick said back.

'Clone's?' Felicia thought confused.

"Where are they?" Nick asked her but he then looked up and saw a beam of light getting fired from the edge of the ark reactor building roof.

He spread his wings and was about to take off when Felicia ran up to him and kissed him passionately, putting all her feelings into that one kiss, a couple seconds later she separated and spoke to him, "Please don't get hurt, I don't thing I would be able to take it to see you hurt one more time." Felicia pleaded with him.

"Don't worry I won't be so nice with him this time." Nick said to her as he smiled and then flied up into the air, just above the skylight and the fighting forms of Tony and Obadiah.

Obadiah was in bad shape, he only had one arm and his suit was filled with dents caused by bullets and Tony's repulser blasts, but he was still holding his own against Tony who was looking ok but was running low on power and his suit was letting out sparks, here and there.

Tony suddenly shouted out, "Now!" Before he rocketed backwards off the roof.

Inside the ark reactor building Peter was at the control panels and once he heard Tony's signal he pushed the big red button, which caused the ark reactor to overload and send a giant stream of energy upwards, towards Obadiah and Nick who had just got there.

Nick's last words before he was hit by the blast were, "Why's Tony running away?" He hadn't realised what was actually happen yet, probably a combination of the adrenaline of his first real fight and the time he missed when he was passed out healing by the Phoenix's energy.

Obadiah's situation was different to Nick's though, he knew what Tony was planning but he was stopped time after time when he tried to leave the roof, and so when he tried to get away this time he activated his thrusters, hoping to just get far enough away, but as if karma was finally braking effect his thruster failed and he fell down at the edge of the skylight, just within the blast range.

The overload blast was as fast as lightning and so Nick had no time to react to his spider sense's going off or enough time to figure out what the current situation was and he took the blast head on, Obadiah by the side was just hit slightly and he was flung backwards, off the roof, soon an explosion cane from where he fell, if Nick was there and not getting hit with a cities worth of electricity then he would be able to use his Byakugan and see Obadiah's suit fail and set off a self destruct fail safe, blowing up not on him to busy but also the suit, it was beyond recovery.

And now back to Nick, he let out an agonising scream as the energy passed through his body and up into the clouds, Nick's clothes were chard and reduced to ashes, his skin and hair burned but before he could loose all the hair from his head a red energy once again made it's self know but it wasn't alone, tiny wisps of golden energy was also there, running along Nick's body in a certain pattern, almost like veins.

The electricity passing through Nick suddenly became trapped inside his body as was unable to continue on towards the sky.

Nick's body was absorbing it! It looked like the red energy was rapidly healing Nick's body as the golden energy took in the electricity and stored it as it's own.

Nick's body continued to suck up the rest of the blast and only when the was none left did Nick's form fall from the air, it looked like he was going to fall right into the ark reactor, and he really would as Nick had passed out from the extreme pain from having his body broken down and healed back up continuously, but if the Phoenix didn't heal him like that his body would have exploded before it could absorb all the electricity.

Nick was now falling through the ark reactor building and he was seconds away from crashing right into the ark reactor, but that's when suddenly a thin thread shooted at Nick and dragged him away from the ark reactor and towards the front doors and the person who pulled him from safety, "Nick!" Peter called as he jumped up and caught the speeding body before it could hit the floor.

Nick's body was still steaming from the heat that it was put under, making Peter's hands become red and sting as he held Nick, Peter's face cringed under the pain that it was causing him but he didn't let go of Nick for fear of him getting even more hurt on the glass covered floor.

"Nick!" Screams came from outside, which were soon coming from inside the building, Felicia and Pepper came running towards the back of Peter.

Felicia ran around Peter so she was able to get closer to Nick and when she kneeled down on the glass her black dress and knees were pierced and the glass enter her skin but she didn't react to it only caring about Nick.

"Nick!" She called as she put her had onto his chest to feel his heart beat but as soon as she put her hands on him she pulled away because of the extreme temperature of his skin, Peter had a tougher skin after he was bitten by the spider and so her was able to endure the heat without getting burned.

"Don't worry, I can feel a pulse, he'll pull through, especially with his healing abilities but if you touch him you will get burned from the heat caused by the ark reactor's overload." Peter explained to Felicia as he gritted his teeth from the pain.

Felicia looked from Peter and then back at Nick's face, she was filled with worry and it was showing through her face and her shaking hands as they hovered over Nick's body, unable to hold him but desperate to do so.

Tony soon walked through the door and huffed as he dropped a piece of his suit, "There's still some Knicks to work out but I thin- What happen to Nick?! I thought he was healing?! Why's he suddenly naked?! And that!" Tony shouted as he pointed at Nick's crotch, "Is not fair!" Tony shout brought everyone's eyes to where he was pointing and they all had different reactions.

Felicia and Pepper both became red faced, especially Felicia seen as it was bigger then she had guessed in her fantasies when she and Nick were walking around Paris and she had been stealing glances at it.

Peter was smart enough to know to not look in that direction but Tony still had a look of envy, but he still re-equipped his helmet and talked to Jarvis so he could get an ambulance to come and take care of his nephew.

As Tony talked to the operator on the otherside Nick's eyes opened slowing once again, he looked around and the first thing he saw was Felicia looking down at him with concern, "I'm sorry ... I broke my promise." He said weakly to Felicia, his voice was barely above a whisper but once everyone heard him they listened in intensely.

Felicia was the first to react to Nick's words as they were directed at her, "You idiot!" She shouted at him as tears poured down her cheeks, she suddenly leaned forward and kissed Nick on the lips, it was sloppy and hurried, so she was only really kissing Nick with the right side of her lips, but as soon as there lips met hers began to burn and steam from the heat, she was definitely going to have a scar on the side of her mouth after this but she didn't care at the moment, all she cared about was if Nick was alright.

(Like the scar from Tailenders, https://gfycat.com/shadowymarvelouscur )

At that moment Nick once again passed out.
