Chapter 19

"We have 20 F-16s and 12 F-15s, ETA 3 minutes" I repeated what I heard from R4 to Tony "F-22s will arrive in ETA 30 seconds, Marines have secured a small perimeter, Coast Guards have joined up with the Marines and anything else is still half an hour out at least"

"Good to know, kid" I heard Tony say sarcastically

"Your welcome" I replied and sent a torpedo straight into the mouth of the flying eel

"Oh and uh kid," Tony said nervously

"Yes?" I asked

"We have two more flying eels"

"Oh great," I said with sarcasm "Just what I needed, I bet I can take two at once"

"Fine, I can take one of them" I can hear a very small but slight fear in Tony's voice as he said that

"Good, keep it distracted as I finish off this one," I told him as I blasted through dozens of 

Beep Boop 

"Great," I mumbled before saying "Tony, the marines and coast guard have managed to put up a secure perimeter while our birds have arrived. My vulture droids have all been shut down. Also..." 

"Also what?" Tony asked impatiently as I killed the eel.

"There is a nuke about to take off headed for us"

There was a slight static for a moment

"Tony?" I asked

"Yup, still here" I heard him groan "Can I get it again? What did you say earlier? I think I hurt my ears"

"We got a nuke" I repeated

"Shit" I heard him curse

I continued my strafing runs at clustered groups of alien soldiers and activating the manual self-destruct sequence in my downed droids to blow up some.

Seconds later, Tony flew into the portal with a nuclear warhead

I parked the ship on a roof knowing that Tony wouldn't be able to return if we don't help pull him back down

I looked at Annabeth next to me

"Annabeth" I called to her "Raise your hands and imagine using the force to pull Tony down"

"Pull Tony?" She asked

"If you don't he will die," I told her which caused her eyes to widen 

"Are you ready?" I quickly asked

Annabeth nodded and closed her eyes while reaching her arms out into the sky

I did the same, though because of how far we are, we can barely get a small pinch on him.

I felt someone else's presence around him too. 

I pulled using as much force I could muster to send him back through the portal as it closed. 

Me and Annabeth collapsed from overexertion in using the force. Though Annabeth would be knocked out for a while. I am still awake, but tired. 

I watched as the Hulk catch Tony in its arms. Knowing that Tony is now safe, I carried Annabeth and got back into the cockpit with difficulty.
