‘Look up.

 The words had barely left Blaines mouth when a great force slammed into him from the side. He screamed, disorientated, the world was turning, turning, turning and something hurt. He passed out before he even hit the ground.

 ‘Step aside

 It took Kurt a moment to process what he heard, too upset to properly think but when it did, he turned around. In front of him stood a huge man, much bigger than he was in every sense of the world. He seemed to be more muscle than anything and he had a dangerous glint in his eyes. But what really scared him were the electrical whips that were bound to his arms, leading up to a light over his chest, a sick parody of Tonys arc reactor.

 ‘I said, the man stated calmly. ‘Step aside.

 ‘N-no, Kurt stuttered, only half-aware of what he was doing. He felt numb with fear, nauseous to the point of throwing up but all he could think about was protecting Blaine (If he was still- No. He couldnt let himself think like that.)

 ‘Excuse me? The man sounded more amused than annoyed. ‘It wasnt a fucking question, faggot. Tears had started falling from Kurts eyes but he didnt notice. Though his entire body was trembling, he stood up straight, chin raised as he looked up at the man.

 ‘My answer is clear. Something in the man seemed to snap; all his composure had vanished and he was towering over Kurt, pulling his arms back, ready to strike...

 When a sudden blast hit him in his chest, blowing him backwards a few feet, his back colliding with a tree, which croaked dangerously. Kurt whipped around and there stood Blaine, his arms outstretched towards the attacker and the palm smoking. The suit was damaged but working and Blaines breathing sounded just a bit too heavy to be healthy but there he was, saving Kurt, being alive.

 ‘Stay away from my boyfriend, he hissed dangerously before turning to Kurt. ‘Run, baby, get out of here!

 ‘B-but, Kurt stuttered. ‘I-

 ‘So I managed to cross path with Starks kid... The man appeared behind Kurt again, who flinched away. ‘I was aiming for the man himself but I must say... this is much better. He smirked and before Kurt could do more than blink, he had wrapped one of his whips around Blaines wrist, pulling him forward. The light in the mask started blinking furiously and the suit started to visibly malfunction.

 ‘K-K-Kurt...

 ‘Stop it, Kurt screamed. ‘Please! Stop it! But the man just smirked, slamming the other whip into the head of the suit and the mask fell uselessly to the ground. Blaines face was now visible. A huge cut ran across his cheek and his eyes were filled with terror as he watched the man pull his arm back, ready for the final strike.

 When he was suddenly blasted backwards again. Blaine was dragged along for a few feet before he managed to pull himself free. Kurt was about to ran up to him, to see if he was okay, but he was stopped by a heavy, cold hand on his shoulder. He turned around to see Iron Man standing over him, the actual Tony Stark, and he sighed in relief. Tony walked past him, towards Blaine and stretched out his hand to him.

 ‘You are so fucking grounded, boy, he heard him say, flipping his mask open. Blaine took his hand and lifted himself up from the ground, stumbling a little in the process. He smiled gratefully at his father who didnt return the smile. ‘Take Kurt and get the hell out of here, am I clear?

 ‘But dad, I can help-

 ‘I think youve helped enough, dont you, Tony snapped and Blaine fell silent. Kurts heart ached a little at the sight of his pained expression. ‘You brought Kurt, hell, half of New York in danger because you were behaving like a pissy little teenager and I am sick of your behavior. So youre going to take Kurt and youre going to get the hell out of here or Im shipping you off to some military school to teach you some real discipline. Tony strode past his son, leaving him standing there with tears streaming down his face. Kurt felt a pang of pity. He took a step forward, stretching his arm out for Blaine.

 ‘Come on, honey, he requested quietly and Blaines head shot up. He walked up to Kurt, dragging his leg a little, even with the suit and together they ran away from the scene where the two man had started fighting. The two boys jogged in complete silence, both desperately trying to ignore the sounds behind them.

 ‘Are you angry? Kurt looked up at the sound of Blaines voice, so small and defeated. He slowed his pace and so did Blaine.

 ‘Yes, he replied simply. ‘But not because you stole the suit or because you tried to surprise me by stealing your fathers property. Im angry because you knowingly brought yourself into danger and you got hurt. A silence fell again. They could no longer hear the fight happening by now, apart from the occasional loud bang. Blaine stopped walking.

 ‘Stay here, he stated and turned around, ready to shoot off. Kurt grabbed his wrist in panic.

 ‘No! What the hell do you think youre doing?!

 ‘Helping my father!

 ‘Absolutely not, Kurt screeched. ‘Were going home and get you some medical help. Tony can manage this. Blaines face hardened and he shrugged Kurts hand off the suit.

 ‘I love you. Keep running. He shot off, leaving Kurt in frustrated tears.

 He was losing. Tony Stark was losing. Despite being protected by the suit, his body was aching all over. His suit was starting to malfunction and he was running out of options.

 ‘Sir, Im losing power. Tony sighed, looking around in desperation only to see the electricity whip man standing in front of him again, almost unfazed by his last attack.

 ‘You lose...

 ‘Dad! Tonys eyes widened as he saw his son standing behind the whip guy, holding up his hand and smirking. ‘High five. It took Tony a second to realize what he was talking about but then he held up his hand as well and started charging his gun. Blaine had just time to cover his face with his other arm before the world seemed to explode around them, the ground trembling and the birds fleeing, glass shattered miles away. Tony felt himself being thrown backwards by the force of the collision and saw the same happen to his son and the creepy whip guy.

 And then the world quieted. Tony stood up and looked around. Everywhere around him were destroyed and burning trees. As soon as he noticed Blaine stumbling up, he rushed to his side, supporting him with an arm around his waist. They both looked down at the mysterious man that lay before them. The smell of burned flesh was penetrating and sickening and Tony started tugging his son away from the dead man. They only walked a few feet before he could hear sobs coming from the boy next to him.

 ‘Im so sorry, daddy, he sobbed. ‘Im really, really sorry! I swear, I didnt mean to-

 ‘Shh, its okay, Blaine, he whispered. ‘Well talk about it later. Were going home.
