The Avengers continue to fight the robots and protect the people in Sokovia, "The anti-gravs are rigged to flip. Touch 'em, they'll go full reverse thrust. The city's not coming down slow" Friday tells Tony as he flies around the island.

"The spire's Vibranium. If I get Thor to hit it..." Tony starts, he continues to fly around the island, taking down other robots as he goes, trying to gather more information about the island and ways that he could stop it.

"It'll crack, but that's not enough, the impact would still be devastating" Friday adds

"Maybe if we cap the other end, keep the atomic action doubling back" Tony adds

"That could vaporize the city, and everyone on it" Friday continue to explains to Tony.

"The next wave's gonna hit any minute. What have you got, Stark?" Steve asks, Aloisia flies down next to him and Natasha.

"Well, nothing great. Maybe a way to blow up the city. That'll keep it from impacting the surface if you guys can get clear" Tony says

"I asked for a solution, not an escape plan"

"Is that our only option?" Aloisia asks Tony

"Impact radius is getting bigger every second. We're going to have to make a choice" Tony says

"Cap, these people are going nowhere. If Stark finds a way to blow this rock..." Natasha begins, Aloisia takes the woman's hand in her own

"Not 'til everyone's safe" Steve argues, the trio stand as they look out at the empty sky, it looks peaceful, relaxing. How ironic, robots still real havoc around the city, yet the view contradicts that.

"Everyone up here versus everyone down there? There's no math there" Natasha explains

"I'm not leaving this rock with one civilian on it"

"I didn't say we should leave" Steve turns to look at her "There's worse ways to go. Where else am I gonna get a view like this?" Natasha says as she looks back out at the sky, Aloisia finds herself looking away from the sky to look back at Natasha. A smile overtakes her features, she wouldn't mind dying like this.

"Glad you like the view, Romanoff. It's about to get better" Nick Fury says as a Helicarrier show up, "Nice, right? I pulled her out of mothballs with a couple of old friends. She's dusty, but she'll do"

"Fury, you son of a Bitch" Steve announces, almost scoffing as he looks at the sky

"Oooh! You kiss your mother with that mouth?" Fury questions to Steve with a smile. Al chuckles as she looks at the Helicarriers with a wide smile. Pietro speeds next to them upon seeing the ships in the sky

"Altitude is eighteen thousand and climbing" Maria announces from inside the helicarrier

"Lifeboats secure to deploy. Disengage in three, two... take 'em out" An agent says.

The group as they watch the lifeboat ships fly in towards them "This is SHIELD?" Pietro asks

"This is what SHIELD's supposed to be" Steve explains

"This is not so bad"

"Let's load 'em up" the group separate as they run off, Natasha and LA run together to help civilians on board.

As the two run off they talk "why is the Maximoff girl earring my jacket?" Nat asks Al

"Well, she was cold and your jacket was there. She's only a child and it suits her" Al says, she hasn't managed to gauge if Nat is mad or not yet. Natasha only laughs.

"Aw. Al I'm not mad, you're adorable" Nat chuckles as they help civilians onto the ships. Al just smiles.

"Sir, we have multiple bogies converging on our starboard flank" Maria explains
