Aah, another one of your friends, Narukami? [The man seems rather bored, just relaxing in a chair and lazily holding a gun in his hand as he leans back in it to look at the kid. He grins.] Tohru Adachi. I used to work with his uncle until recently.
Shit. [He narrows his eyes at the gun in Adachi's hand, then focuses on Yu. Adachi didn't say anything important so Tony's ignoring him.] Are you hurt?
'bark's worse than his bite. [Well, physically he isn't... but the psychological and metaphysical hurts like a bitch.] Too much of a coward to shoot, even if he cou- nngh!
[He probably shouldn't have said that... because suddenly it was like green bands of energy wrapped around his arms, rendering him unable to move before they disappeared from sight.]
Why, nothing really. You could say he's doing it all to himself. [There's something in his voice that may suggest otherwise, but really... he hasn't lifted a finger. The gun's all for show at this point. After all, what good is a little mess he'd have to clean up? Talk about a pain, just like this damn brat.]
He's refused to accept reality, and after seeking it for so long? Something thought that we'd have a little more fun while I reminded him of it.
[And trust him, you won't like it if his other self screams...]
Yeah, sorry if I don't exactly trust you on that one. [Adachi is creepy and has a gun and even if Yu's not physically hurt, this bastard obviously did something to him.]
Stop playing games, what the hell does that even mean?
(1/2) [A sigh.] Look, I'm a very sincere fellow. I don't lie like most and I like the simple things. [Like magic, but shh... That will give his little secret away.]
It's simple, really. I tried to give him a little hint to put him back on the right path like I did before. Brats need to be looked after, right?
[If Tony looks closely, he can probably see Yu's fist clenching... trying to reach inside his pocket for something... break the spell...]
I'm just doing his uncle a favor by looking out for his precious nephew--
[The normally calm teenager snaps. Normally, he's much more logical than this. But that little lie? It's all ruse and he's going to expose it. There's no way those notes were possible... not from him.]
"Favor" my ass. You're just glad to have your power back, that I've been isolated from them.
[Adachi's "explanation" is hardly any clearer than what he was saying before. Plus he's seriously pissing Yu off, and Tony doesn't want the two of them around each other any longer.]
Hey, Scooby-Doo, where are you? I can be there in a jiffy. This guy needs a serious ass-kicking.
[...Welp. He broke the record. Yu will give him kudos for that much, at least... maybe even a discount on some burgers god, he's starting to sound like Yosuke SEND HELP.]
Junes, business district. Watch for the sudden lightning storm.
[He's struggling all the more actively now... and not saying any further on an explanation for the lightning bit. He's already on his knees, putting some weight on his feet much to what appears to be Adachi's shock.]
Better hurry... or there might not be much left of him.
[There seems to be a little light show before the words "Damn bra-" are being yelled out before yep, sudden lightning in the sky.
[Tony doesn't wait, just shuts his phone and makes a dash for the Iron Man armor. It's assembled around him in seconds, and he takes off from the roof of Stark Tower. Junes is close, made all the more obvious by the burst of lightning above it. Tony would blame Thor if Yu hadn't warned him about it. He lands on the roof of Junes, using JARVIS to connect to the phone network and call up Yu.]
I'm here, kid. What's your location?
[Also he will accept that burger discount, thank you.]
[Yu doesn't waste time, either. Picking up the phone from the ground, he places it in his shirt pocket before the light show really begins and all hell is unleashed. Last time he had his friends by his side, last time he was weaker. This time he'd been caught off guard, but whoever let someone out of the big house? Hadn't remembered something crucial. He faces his fears, makes the impossible possible. Just like now, where he's standing in front of a bent over Adachi, who seems to be holdng his head in one hand.
He doesn't have to respond with the large naginata spinning from the food court (well, what remained of it).]
Food court, level lower from the roof. [There's a pause, before he screams a name that is translated by the probes they were given simply as:] God!
[There is a burst of flames soon after, followed by a crazed sort of laughter as a large figure in white as its red eyes glare down at the shorter being.]
Heheh... Y-you think a little fire is enough? Don't make me sick. Magatsu Izanagi-!
Gotcha. [He keeps the network link open as he flies down to the food court - and who puts a food court outside, seriously. What the hell, Japan. The images showing up on his HUD are incredibly fucking weird, but not too long ago Tony was fighting aliens. A little magic fire and sword-wielding monsters aren't enough to throw him off his game.
Iron Man lands with a loud clang, knocking over a table and several chairs, and when he rises into a battle stance he's got his repulsors locked and loaded on the scene before him. Not his most graceful entrance and definitely lacking in sweet theme music, but it'd have to do.] Sorry to cancel the party, but this ends now.
[The USA has strange robots and AI-assisted suits of armor. Japan? Screw that, we have technology and ancient gods in our heads. Yu smirks faintly and for a brief second before he nods to Iron Man oh my Gooooooooood, it's reeeeeaaaaaaaal. That suit itself is enough to stop Adachi in his tracks.]
...The hell?
['Must not fanboy must not laugh. Must not fanboy must not laugh--']
Let's clean house, then.
[ooc: oops I though I replied to this a while ago... ;;;;]
[Well damn, that was weird. And definitely creepy.] Kid? Who the fuck was that?

[Sorry... Yu isn't here right now.... but if you'd like to make an appointment-]
[Oh wait, there he is... stirring against the wall he was propped up on, holding his shoulder like he'd been stabbed... but nothing's there.]
Someone- from home. [ow.... does anyone have an asprin or five?]

[He almost jumps when Yu stops speaking, unable to move, and Tony turns his glare on Adachi.] What the fuck did you do?
