Unlikely heroes

Action

"how's everyone holding up? Especially you Tony" Travis questioned as he hovered over Blaise's shoulder watching him check his injuries.

"Im fine...what happened to your helmet?" Tony answered as he noticed Travis without his helmet.

"it served its purpose decided to move on" Travis answered as Tony nodded in approval then winced in pain as Blaise pressed his ribs.

"you got a couple of bruised ribs and one that's probably cracked" Blaise answered while Tony shoved him away and dusted himself off as he made his way towards Al.

"you did good Mijo...im proud of you" Tony answered as he playfully messed with Al's hair.

The others watched as midnight joined the brothers and teased the two, Travis on the other hand looked at the building Stars and stripes was heading too until the muscular villain swatted him out of the skies.

"what's on your mind? You been looking at that building like Tony looks at tacos or big titty women" Josh joked.

"Stars and stripes were going to leave Tony and Al to fight that superpowered villain by themselves and was on his way to that building...why" Travis questioned aloud as he made his way to Midnight and the brothers.

"guys...I got an idea" Travis spoke as he got everyone's attention and they all huddled up around Travis.

The group takes a few minutes to gather supplies and stock up on ammunition. Al and Tony are helping midnight and Travis go over the plan, after some persuasion and a few racial slurs specifically by Tony towards Travis and Midnight it was decided that Tony was going to take the charge to the building that Stars and stripes was interested in.

Even with Tony's defiant stance of having Al in on this mission it was understood that the safest place would be with him rather then with the rest of the group down on the battlefield helping the heroes while also running diversion to buy him time.

Al was sitting by himself as he went over his things, he slung the rifle over his shoulder as he looked up and scooted over to make room, while Tony plopped down next to him sighing heavily.

"look...I may not like the idea of you tagging along but its going to be tight quarters in that building and that rifle isn't going to be exactly ideal, so..."

Tony reached around to reveal a pristine conditioned Katana carefully taken care of over the years, he carefully handed it over to Al who stared at the blade in awe.

"I found this little beauty a while back just like I did that rifle, the rifle was easy to bring up in working order. This blade though, it was chipped, and I thought it might have been a lost caused to even try to fix it...but the blade was able to make a comeback from the grave and the only person who even knows his way around a sword is you Mijo" Tony explained while Al examined the restored blade and nodded in appreciation.

Tony patted Al's shoulder and stood up only to have Al reach out to grab him.

"hey do you think you could...you know, for old time sake" Al asked with a wide grin. Tony rolled his eyes and freed his arm.

"no way in hell Mijo" Tony scoffed as he started walking away.

"come on, I'm not asking you to serenade me like you did with the girls back in Japan, just asking one more time for old time sakes" Al playfully pleaded.
