–In Other Places–
Tony Stark let out a sigh as he finally saw his Malibu home from the skies. He'd spent the last few days giving his suit a thorough test run. He had single handedly wiped out numerous terrorist cells all across the world that had hoards of his company's old weapon stocks. The secret entrance to his garage opened up on the side of the cliff and he flew inside. He stepped into the machine that helped him quickly remove his seat. In less than 10 seconds, it was off of him.
"Welcome back home, Sir." Jarvis called out. "You asked to not be disturbed but a few things have sprung up since you've been away hunting down stolen weapons."
Tony was in the middle of making himself a cup of coffee. He pressed the button to start heating the water before he turned back towards his monitors. "What happened while I was gone?"
"Miss Layla has returned from wherever she went off to. Also, she appeared with more of her siblings. The Archangel Gabriel in particular has grown quite the following after she healed every single child at the Children's Hospital you built for your mother."
"What!? Tell me everything!" Tony exclaimed. Jarvis did tell him everything. Tony sighed as he sipped on his coffee. He'd only been gone a few days and yet so much had happened.
"Layla also left you a message, sir. Apparently she went to an alternate dimension where a zombie apocalypse occurred and now you have a sister." Jarvis said. As an AI built around logic, that statement almost hurt his processors just to state…
Tony froze momentarily when he heard that. "I have a sister? What's her name!? Where is she!?"
"Miss Layla told me her name was…" Jarvis paused for a moment before alarms rang out in the garage. "ALERT!" Jarvis's tone immediately changed. "A massive temperature surge has been detected in Scotland! Our satellites show that temperatures have risen hundreds of degrees in seconds!"
Tony's eyes widened. Was that a nuclear blast!? Temperatures didn't just fluctuate by hundreds of degrees normally! Was someone starting World War 3? "Jarvis, pull up a visual." Tony shouted as he ran over to get his armor back on. All thoughts of his supposed sister would have to be put on hold for now.
…
"Thank you for your time Mr. President." Nick Fury said as he shook the Commander in Chief's hand. Fury figured it was about time they started informing the world's leaders of the inevitable collision of two Earth's. Needless to say, the President of the United States was shocked and horrified at what he'd heard from Fury.
"You're saying our planet was literally split in two and now it's merging back together. And Tony Stark speculates the gravity will double which will cause severe health problems for most humans and animals on the planet?" The President summed up Fury's explanation.
"That's correct, Sir. Stark Industries and Oscorp, which was taken over by the Angel, are currently working on a severely toned down super soldier serum to enhance all the world's people for the inevitable. We're not sure what we're going to do about all the animals yet, but we're working on it." Fury assured him.
"Jesus Christ…" The President muttered as he rubbed his head. Part of him was happy this wasn't going to happen for a few years, but he didn't want to be known as the idiot president who doomed humanity. "You have the authority and budget to do whatever needs to be done to see this problem handled." The President said. "Now onto the other matters we needed to discuss. Tell me about the growing population of mutants–"
The President was cut off as the door to the Oval Office suddenly slammed open! "Mr. President! Something is happening in Scotland! All of our sensors and Satellites have picked up massive temperature fluctuations! Some people are saying a nuclear bomb went off!" A Secret Service Agent exclaimed as he ran in and interrupted their meeting.
Fury blanched and the President paled. "Do we have any Satellites to show us what's going on!?" The President asked.
"Yes, Sir! We do! The Agent said as he switched on the Presidential TV and connected to the correct satellite feed.
"What the hell?!" Fury exclaimed. "That's Scotland!?? That looks like motherfucking Mordor!" Everywhere they could see was nothing but ash and Lava! This was really bad! Even a nuclear bomb couldn't turn miles of surrounding land into the hellish nightmare he was currently looking at!
"Wait, what's that? Zoom the camera in to maximum! Right there!" The President said as he pointed towards some moving pixels on the screen. Fury was impressed by the man's eye. The screen zoomed in and Fury clenched his fist tightly at what he saw.
"Of fucking course its Layla! And IS SHE FIGHTING THE MOTHERFUCKING DEVIL!?" Fury shouted when he saw an overhead view of Earth's most famous Angel clashing against a solid red being bathed in flames! "Oh shit, is the Devil getting bigger?" As Fury asked that, the Red Devil visibly started to grow to gigantic proportions. He estimated that the Giant Horned Monster was a few hundred meters tall. Layla looked like an ant floating next to it!
"Jesus Christ!" The President exclaimed again as he crossed himself. The President then picked up his phone and immediately ordered the whole Country to go to DEFCON 2. They were to prepare a nuclear strike in case Layla loses to the Devil!
BEEP BEEP
Fury's communicator went off and he immediately raised it to his ear. "If this isn't about the shitshow going down in Scotland, I don't want to hear about it!" He ordered whoever was calling him.
"Sir! This is Agent Romanoff! Layla of the Fallen is currently fighting one of the Kings of Hell!"
"FUCK!"
