#━━ ✦ th. Something for Nothing (AU) : Miranda Atwell

[walkingthroughfire-a]

Starter for @etfuturist ; a what if, if you will.

Fading into view ; watching first as her hands turned to dust and now reformed in front of her eyes as though it was a glitch in the Matrix, confusion hung over Miranda for a moment. Then it hit her what happened. Concerns were surfing through her brain on high waves. Where is Tony? How long has it been? What is happening now? But her answers soon come in the form of orange sparks in circular motions and a portal leading her way.

She would say that's strange, but that's a Tony level pun and she's not ready to make that yet, not until she knows where he is and that he's alive. Did he get removed from existence as well? Is he still alive? So many heavy questions. No matter, she can see what is happening on the horizon of the tower.

There will be time, she hopes, to deal with all of those after the war. This is no longer a simple battle, the stakes are now upped for everyone. Lose this, and lose everything and more.

Through the portal she's met with smoke and ash hitting her nostrils causing her to flinch, but everyone stood ready and she would be no different. Her life that she finally gained control of was taken from her - so she is not willing to play nice.

Using her abilities, she thrusts herself up off the ground and she moves to the front of the line ; call it a grudge she's holding. Could anyone blame her for it?

From her high perch she glances the battle ground and finds lights reflecting off a suit she knows well so she lands next to him, turning to smile while they have this moment.

The dirt on his face, the exhaustion and yet he pushes through from fighting ; admirable and makes her love him all the more. But they haven't the time to reunite as she would wish so this will have to do.

"Miss me?" she asks, her smile curling more at her lips and she gives him a wink, getting to her feet and offering him a hand to get him back on his.
