Chapter 36 - Demons (part 2)

Suddenly a portal appears next to Iron Man

"So you are the famous Iron Man."

"So you are the person the league sent for the portal?"

"Yes," She responded while playing with her signature magical hat. " But it is seen that you have the situation in control

"I'd like to say yes, but I have been going at it for a while but their number never decreases."

"hmm, this portal seems troublesome."

"Yeah," Marcus responds while he never stops killing demons, while also protecting her.

"If you get me close enough, I can take care of the portal.

'He made the job easy for me, I don't have to kill or call for backup, just have to close that stupid portal.'

With that, they team up. While Marcus was protecting her, she started to form his spell. While she was preparing the spell he was also observing Iron Man.

She was impressed by Marcus. In this dark mechanical armor of his, he was killing demons better and more efficiently than anyone she ever partners with. He was holding the line of defense by himself never Letting any demon get close to her. While doing all of this he was still saving people, getting them out of there house and protecting them while there doing their escape.

She had to give it to him; he was a one-man army.

"Hmm, we got a problem."

"What is it?"

"I can close the portal but there is an abnormally huge amount of them that are going to get out before I manage to close the portal."

"Can you do anything to stop them."

"No, it's already too late."

"Guest, I have to take care of it myself," Marcus said he started preparing himself for the final fight.

[Sir, the amount of ammo is less than 20%, it is recommended to restock] Jarvis announced through his helmet. Marcus almost running out of ammo wasn't strange, since for the past hour he had been killing demons, none stop.

With a loud sound, Marcus landed next to Zatanna.

"Jarvis, you already know what to do." She suddenly hears him say in his classic Iron Man mechanical voice.

'Jarvis' she thought

[Sir the package will arrive in a few seconds.] Suddenly Zatanna heard a mechanical voice respond to Iron Man. 'So he even got an A.I.'

In a swooshing sound, a black mechanical box landed next to Marcus.

"What is that," She asks him.

" Ammo and more powerful weapons."

"Ok"

"Anyway, close the portal as soon as you can. Oh can make them draw to me"

Like making you a bet

Yes"

"Ok... done." She said after finishing to cast her spell. As per our deal said you can leave the portal to me and when done I will go help out somewhere else.'

"Got it"

As he said so the box that was as tall as himself split open and let him step in it. Immediately some mechanical arm stretches out, helping him reloading his armor and adjusting a giant cannon in his left hand.

As soon as he was done, the building in front of him was destroyed as a wave of demons was frantically running toward him.

"I close the portal. Good luck." With that Zatanna opens a portal and leaves, with the last thing she saw a group of demons running toward Iron Man. Who weapons were firing and the cannon in his hand charging.

As Zatanna Left the cannon on his left-hand start gathering energy, turn redder and redder, all the while, the demon keeps running toward him.

"That was alright," Marcus said as he looked at the destruction, then down at the melting cannon.

[Sir, it would be better if you build your weapons with strong materials,]

"I know it was just a prototype, I just wanted to test, it did pretty alright."

With him finished playing around, Marcus got in action starting killing demons again.

====

An hour had already passed Marcus as Iron Man was walking through the city. The city was completely ruined, walking around he could see both demons and humans dead bodies. As he walks around his shoulder-mounted machine gun would fire, taking down any stray demon. There was also the quinjet flying overhead with its machine-gun fire every moment also killing demons.

As he walks around, he keeps scanning around to detect heat sources, either human or demon. Detecting something he walks toward a house, kicks the door open, gaining the attention of the demons inside.

======

My name is Jennifer, Jennifer Walters so far I have for 20 years. Right now I was squatting in the corner of a bedroom with the only source of light, the fire of the city burning outside of the window.

Right now I have given up on life. Yesterday I had hoped, but today it was completely crushed with today's demon invention. You may ask why I mentioned hope in life previously? Because after I and my family came to visit the bird village of my mother, The village was attacked by terrorists. While I was captured, my family was killed, I was part of the group of people lucky enough to survive. They captured us and brought us to their base.

I had previously heard about what they did with the young woman they captured. So obviously I was very scared. So scared that I already accept my fate. That even if I wanted to resist, I was too weak to do anything. Meaby If I had powers like those so-called superheroes I could have killed them and saved my parents. But all of this was just fantasy, I knew my fate.

But that changed, with him dropping out of the sky. Destroying the base, their weapons and killing them.

After all of this happens, I found an extended family who accepts me in their house. Although I was very sad about my parent's death. I thought I had a second start in life but today there was a demon invention.

And finally, now I was in a dark room and outside the door was a demon trying to get in. If I hadn't blocked it, he would have gotten in already.

But still, how could a door hold a demon back. The door was already starting to crack. With one last kick, the door broke apart and he pushed away whatever was blocking him, slowly moving toward her.

She could see the demon looking at her with killing intent ready to move but at this moment she heard a strange sound and then a red flash, then the head of the demon was destroyed.

After the corpse of the demon falls limply on the floor it reveals the War Machine with his hand extended out having fired a repulsor blast killing the demon. Even though the War Machine was different from the previous iron man armor they had the same style, they were basically the same. So upon recognizing him as the same person who had saved her previously she felt safe and relieved so she started crying knowing that she was saved.

"Let's go."

I suddenly heard Iron Man's voice, snapping me out of my crying.

"Let's go, I'm going to get you to safety."

I quickly move in front of him and kneel "Please accept as your disciple. "

"Family"

"They die."

"...Name"

"Jennifer Walters"

"Hmm, did you learn anything"

"I went to law school" I responded with a puzzled face.

"Follow me," He said as he turned around.
