Capítulo 61: Ash
Quickly Tomura rushed through New York, his steps frantic, his eyes quickly scanning each street he dashed down in a white and black blur.
He needed to get to Jessica Jones, the woman knew how to contact nearly every underground hero in the city.
He had sent Nomu to grab the other Nomus and bring them to Strange, they needed all the help they could get.
If Thanos was as bad as Strange said he was…
Icy tendrils of fear clawed up Tomura's spine.
His eyes spotted the office/apartment building, the woman was a P.I and a good one too, her strength wasn't all too bad either he thought to himself.
He quickly pushed through the front door, rushing up the stairs to the third floor.
His eyes caught onto the door, a sign just outside.
'Closed'
He didn't care, he didn't have much time, so he approached and knocked, hard.
After a relentless almost minute of knocking against the door so hard he was concerned it might break, the door opened.
A tired, pissed off Jessica answered, her hair a mess as her narrowed eyes ran over his form.
"What?!" She asked with furrowed brows, her annoyance hadn't died down but had been put to the side, she knew Tomura wouldn't show up for a chat.
This was something serious.
"I need you to contact every hero you know, then get them to contact every hero they know and meet here by midday" he said, handing over a piece of paper with sloppy writing of an address on it.
Her eyes assessed the paper in confusion, her eyes shot back up to his "Why, what's going on?" She asked.
"An alien is coming to earth, he's strong…incredibly strong and he will have an army at his back" his red eyes met her almost black ones. "If we don't stop him, he will wipe out half of all life"
She blinked her eyes wide in confusion "What-"
"I'm sorry, I know this is confusing but I'm being serious, he will be here today, maybe tomorrow if we're lucky."
Jessica seemed to take a moment to process this before sighing "Shit" she said as her hand ran through her messy hair "Shit, okay, okay, I'll get some calls going"
"Thank you" Tomura said as he disappeared in a blur.
Jessica's eyes settled onto the far wall, her mind racing.
"What the fuck"
—-
He got back to the sanctum quickly, bursting through the front doors. He blinked and stepped back at the sight of Strange floating.
The man's head was turning quickly at unnatural looking angles, weird, frankly freaky afterimages trailed in his wake allowing the illusion that Strange had multiple heads to take hold.
"Strange!" Tomura shouted as he stayed a few metres back from the odd behaviour.
The man awoke with a slight jump, his eyes quickly focusing on Tomura with sharp clarity.
"What was that?" Tomura asked, his eyebrows furrowed in confusion.
"Don't worry" Strange said as his eyes opened "Tomura I need you in Scotland"
Tomura blinked, he did trust the man but god he was odd sometimes "Right, what should I do there?"
"Just follow your instincts" Strange said, a portal opening, directly into a random living room.
Tomura stepped back "No, I need my real clothes, I can't fight with this on" he said as he pointed at his shirt and tie he needed for his date with Jean earlier in the day.
A suitcase came flying towards Tomura, his eyes opening in wonder as it popped open, his thin black cloak and a set of all black clothes already neatly folded.
"Wow, okay!" Tomura said with a grin, quickly turning and walking through the portal, his head turned back "Wait what about Nomu!?.
A sudden squawk alerted him to the creature awkwardly sat down on a cosy looking sofa, huh.
The portal shut behind him with a hiss, Tomuras eyes shooting around the unfamiliar home. He eyed the sofa, it seemed to be bending under Nomus weight.
Strange did say to follow his instincts, his eyes shot to the still floating open suitcase.
Which to do first, change clothes or sit on the sofa.
"Nomu, look away"
—-
Wanda walked arm in arm with Vision, both smiling softly as their eyes focused on one another. She…she had never felt so calm, her heartbeat calm and steady a small blush spread across her cheeks.
She felt slightly awkward thinking it, but…but she truly loved Vis-
"Is that Tomura?" Visions familiar, steady voice interrupted her thoughts, the man was staring directly through her living room window.
She turned her head, and yes…that was certainly Tomura.
"Wanda," Vision said.
"Yes," she replied robotically.
"Why is he naked?"
—-
Tomura sat awkwardly on Wanda's sofa, carefully avoiding eye contact with her, the unanswered question very heavy between the five people in the room.
Vision was sitting at a table, watching them from a distance, Pietro was wide eyed as he watched Nomu slowly break the new sofa with his weight alone.
Wanda was standing, cross armed as she stared lasers through him.
"So uh, you and Vision-"
"Why were you naked in my house"
Tomura coughed, fingering the thin black cloak.
Why did Strange give him his damn cloak, the man probably knew this would happen.
Crack!
The sofa cracked almost entirely in half as it gave up underneath the weight of Nomu.
A few seconds of silence passed, disbelief present on Wanda's face, embarrassment present on Tomuras.
"Wow, your sofa just comple-"
"Get out"
—-
His eyes flicked around the street, he'd already been here for hours, why couldn't Strange just have sent him when his instincts were meant to kick in.
He sat on the small 2 foot high wall outside of Wanda's property, his Nomu carefully perched on the roof. Strange said to follow his instincts, which got him kicked out of Wandas house.
So he wouldn't be doing that anymore, he just needed to wait here.
Whatever he was here for was probably centred around Wanda, Vision or Pietro.
The sound of keys jingling behind him caught his attention, the front door of the house opening shortly after.
Wanda and Vision both left the house, Vision in an odd human form, his skin white and hair blonde. The duo both wore warm thick clothes to protect them from the cold.
Wanda blatantly ignored him and walked past, Vision gave him a shallow nod. Tomura wanted to follow but that…well that would just piss off Wanda, which nobody wanted.
He was of course going to follow anyway, just a bit more discreetly.
So when they walked down the street he turned to Nomu and gestured for him to jump down to the street.
Which he did, cracking the footpath in the process, Tomura sighed, they were definitely going to blame him for that as well.
Tomuras hand grabbed onto Nomus back, Nomu wings flapping once and sending them dozens of metres into the night sky.
The Nomus dark skin was perfect camouflage as they slowly, soundlessly tracked the walking duo.
It didn't take long to get interesting:
An alien seemed to suddenly appear, a spear cleanly impaling through Visions back, another alien dropping just behind Wanda.
His eyes narrowed, his eyes quickly checking the sky, the roof and paths to check for any more aliens, not seeing any.
Less than a second later his form had smashed into the ground behind the woman alien, her skin a light purple with dark purple horns sprouting out of her forehead.
The alien turned at the sound, her eyes wide, a glowing blue energy weapon swinging around aimed at Tomura, before she could even think of pulling the trigger his fist had smashed into her face.
A sickening crunch seemed to erupt as purple blood spurted from the now broken nose.
Her body was sent flying back ,smashing into an old building with a crash, its old stone as thick as Tomura was tall.
Tomuras attention suddenly switched, a subtle ringing sound rang through his ears slowly growing louder by the second.
He turned towards the sound seeing Wanda struggle to deal with the far taller male alien alone, his scythe weapon swinging in a blur.
Tomuras jaw clenched he tensed his muscles, ignoring the building ringing sound until with a glass shattering-
BOOM!!
-Pietro had arrived, his fist smashing into the unsuspecting alien's face in a blur even to Tomuras wide surprised eyes.
The silver haired man stopped, his eyes quickly overlooking his sister and then disappearing in a blur as a searing energy blast suddenly tore the ground to shreds.
Tomura turned, seeing that the woman had already got back to her feet, a vicious grin on her face.
His head snapped back to the others Wanda's magic holding down the struggling aliens legs, Visions yellow laser blasting away at the tall creature and Pietro peppering it with strong fast punches.
His focus was back onto the female alien, clearly Wanda and crew had the other one covered.
"You are?" He asked curiously as he took a few steps towards the woman.
"Out of your league" she growled as her energy gun released a blast of searing energy, Tomura sidestepped the blast allowing the blue vibrating blast to crash into a building behind him.
His red eyes snapped onto the alien, then he blurred.
Confusion ran through her as the white haired figure had just disappeared, she turned around seeing nothing, her eyes making sure to explore every nook and cranny he could have been hidden in.
She stepped back, and then turned her head-
A fist smashed into her face, her body sent crashing into another thick wall, this time she got no respite as after that another punch came that blurred her vision.
She tried to duck and gain a second of time but even that was thwarted as a hand wrapped harshly around her throat.
Her hands desperately pried at the hand, it felt like trying to bend Uru as she futilely clawed at the hand, her mind rushed as she thought of escape, her eyes looking up into the impassive man's face.
His hair shining an ethereal white under the moon's rays, his eyes a vivid crimson, his presence now sent chills-
Her body turned to ash, blowing away in the gentle wind, Tomura's hand now holding nothing.
