Tony looked at Pepper soaring through the sky, his eyes brimming with warmth and affection. "I've never seen Pepper smile like that. She's always so busy or cleaning up my messes."
Nolan clapped Tony on the shoulder. "Too much pressure in daily life. This is her moment to unwind. Stop moping—join the fun!"
With that, Tony felt a strange power surge within him, and a book was placed in his hand.
"I'm off!" Nolan grinned, leaving a broom behind, and shot into the sky toward Venom and Pamela.
Tony eyed the broom with disdain. "Me, Tony Stark, flying on a broom? No way."
Muttering, he flipped open the book to the flying spell page. "This incantation is ridiculous, ¥ # y…"
After stumbling through the words, Tony's body began to lift. It was nothing like his Iron Man suit—unsteady, exposed to the wind, and wildly insecure.
"Deep breaths, Stark. You've flown at eight thousand meters," he coached himself, steadying as he drifted toward Pepper.
Pepper, now a natural, danced through the air with ease, her movements fluid as the wind. Humanity's yearning for the sky was alive in her, and she reveled in the freedom. "Pamela, Venom, I love Hell!" she shouted, her smile radiant.
"Hell's always open to you, Miss Pepper," Nolan, Demon King of Hell, replied with a grin.
He mused about turning Hell into a tourist spot—flying as a signature attraction, with strict rules to avoid chaos.
"Pe-Pepper, I'm here!" Tony wobbled over, tense and uneasy without solid ground beneath him.
Pepper burst into laughter. "Tony, what's that face? Even the great Tony Stark struggles!"
Her laughter rang out, warm and joyful. Tony, embarrassed at first, softened at her glowing, carefree expression.
Distracted, his shaky spell faltered, and gravity yanked him down.
"Ah!"
"Tony!" Pepper's face paled. She dove on her broom, catching him mid-fall and pulling him onto it.
"You okay?" she asked, arms tight around his waist, worried he'd slip.
Tony, flustered but warmed by her closeness and the brush of her hair, said, "Pepper, hold me tighter. I'm… a bit scared."
"Want to land?" she offered, starting to descend.
"No, no—let me adjust up here," Tony stammered, sweat beading on his forehead.
Pepper smirked, no longer a naive girl. She hugged him closer. "This okay?"
"Perfect pressure," Tony replied, a sly smile creeping in, savoring the moment.
"Ugh, PDA overload," Venom muttered, watching their sweet exchange from above.
"Normal for them," Pamela said with a wave. "They've been glued together lately."
Nearby, Damian tested other spells, watched closely by Shadow—the only one needing supervision.
"Nolan, what's that?" Venom asked, eyeing a red screen floating before Nolan.
"No high-altitude injuries. Flying magic rules. Restricted zones," Nolan listed, fingers dancing on the screen.
"Game code?" Venom tilted her head.
"Sort of. With humans coming to Hell, I'm setting features and limits," Nolan explained.
After absorbing Hell fragments, he sensed changes—expanded scope, stronger power. He even dreamed of Hell bridging Marvel and DC worlds, but only when he could rival the Five Great Gods.
"Can I try?" Venom's eyes sparkled.
"Sure, think up scenarios." Nolan split off a screen for her.
"Awesome!" Venom gave a thumbs-up, flew to Pamela, and said, "Let's play!"
Pamela nodded, and they dove into the screen, focused and engrossed.
Nolan didn't mind potential conflicts; fixes were easy. He worked on, red light glowing on his focused face.
Time slipped by, and evening fell as they returned to the human world.
Pepper clutched her broom, hopping in place. "The ground feels weird now," she said, a touch wistful.
"We'll plan another Hell trip," Pamela smiled. "When Nolan's plan kicks off, it'll be even more beautiful."
Pepper nodded eagerly, eyes bright with anticipation.
"Thanks, Nolan. Perfect day," Tony said, clapping Nolan's shoulder, grinning wide.
A truly perfect date.
