A/N: Sorry I've been so lazy with this story, my life has recently become busy and it's been hard to update regularly. But don't give up on me, I have more chapters in the works :) oh and btw, Doctor Strange comes out soon and I'm beyond excited for it :D
The carrier paralleled the rising city of Sokovia. Iron man suits swarmed the buildings, spreading destruction and chaos wherever they went. The air was becoming thin from high altitude. I had on my Iron man gloves, ready to face whatever was out there.
Ultron had sent the city flying into the air, its all part of his evil plan. I removed a hair tie from my wrist and pulled my hair back into a ponytail.
Multiple Agents ran past me, readying the tiny vessels that they would take to the city. Our goal was to get all of the people off this chunk of land before it fell. My Aunt and Coulson took a jet out a few minutes ago. Coulson had some things to take care of and Sharon had some CIA things that she had to do. Before Coulson left, he told me not to tell the others that he was alive, I didn't question it.
He hugged me goodbye, and patted my back disappearing on the Jet with my Aunt. She sent me a wink and the hatch closed.
I opened and closed my hands, listening to the mechanical sound of the Iron Man gloves. The repulser shined white, ready to fire.
"Stark!" An Agent called to me from one of the smaller vessels. He was starting up the engine and was preparing to take off down to the city. The ship he was in could seat dozens, they were made to carry tons of supplies, or in this case, people. I nodded to him, spinning around from the edge of the carrier and making my way to him "hold on" he told me as the vessel began to rise, rumbling slightly from the engine.
I gripped the railings, looking down through the clouds. A large crowd of Sokovians stood at the edge of the city, waiting for their rescue. The Agent piloted the vessel until it reached the edge of the city. I exited the ship and jumped down to the city street "Try and get as many people as you can!" The Agent called from his seat.
I gave a thumbs up. Out of no where, Pietro sped around me, pausing a few feet away. I literally had to steady myself on my feet because he nearly knocked me off my feet "You're a little too fast got me" I blinked a few times, shaking my head.
"This is SHIELD?" He asked, taking in the sight of the monstrous Carrier. He placed his hands on his hips as looked up towards the cloudy sky.
I smiled, nodding my head "Yeah, it is"
"I like it"
I laughed "Me too" I agreed "Okay, so what we need to do is gather all of the civilians and put them on these ships" I pointed to the vessels that were landing about thirty feet away from us "Then they will be brought to the carrier and in there" I pointed "they will be safe"
"Are you saying that everyone in the city will go on that thing?" Pietro asked, his voice full of disbelieve.
"We have to save as many people as we can, and as fast as we can... which shouldn't be a problem for you" I nudged.
"Right" he nodded, getting ready to take off "See you after we win"
"When we win" I nodded in agreement. Pietro disappeared down the street to the people deep inside the city. The gust of wind he left behind blew my hair back. I smiled slightly after he left, he was cute.
A large crowd of terrified civilians stood huddled together near a fallen building "Hey guys!" I waved my hands the air "Time to go" I pointed to the ship. They all hesitated, glancing to each other in distrust. I groaned, igniting my flight stabilizers so I could fly over there.
I landed in front of them, holding my hands out "All of the people who want to die stay here, and all of the people who want live, go there!"
That got them.
They jumped up and started running to the ship. I pushed them along, leading them in the right direction. Up ahead, a squadron of bogies was flying towards us. Their bright white eyes were locked on the escaping people "Oh, wonderful" I frowned, taking off into the air "Keep going guys! Don't stop no matter what" I called before soaring up to the suits.
The bogies turned their heads to me and aimed their repulsers at my face. I dodged, flying to the left. I collided my fist with the closest one, then blasted plasma through his chest. The suit fell to the ground "Want to see something cool?" I asked sarcastically to the other suits. I tapped a small button on the heel of both of my new special shoes.
Two Iron Man boots expanded out, coating my leg all the way up to my knee. So now I had gloves and boots, hopefully soon I'll have a full body suit. It feels weird being a discount Iron Man. I kicked the closest one, then flew a few feet away to gain some distance.
"Watch out, War Machine on the loose" A voice yelled from behind. I spun around to see the War Machine suit flying at full speed towards me. He fired his missiles at the surrounding bots, not missing a single one.
Once the smoke cleared in the air from the firing, the familiar Colonel James Rhodes appeared. He gave me a small salute.
"Wow" I clapped my bionic hands together as he flew up beside me, readying more weapons in his grey suit "Just wow... hey what ever happen to Iron Patriot?" I asked, raising my eyebrow.
He held up his hand, I can see the shame in his eyes even with the helmet down "Don't ever go there"
I laughed, dropping down several feet until I was only a couple feet off the ground. I noticed Natasha driving a forklift through a bundle of suits, knocking out every single one. I dropped down low to the ground and flew beside the truck, blasting at any remaining suits. Nat saluted me from the window.
I fired a plasma blast at the nearest suit and flew up beside Nat in the truck "We're all meeting up at the center of the city, Starks orders" she called to me from the open window of the vehicle as she kept on driving.
"Did he figure out a way to stop Ultron?" I asked, narrowly dodging an upcoming attack from a suit. I haven't been on the comms so I don't know these things. I steadied myself with my stabilizers and rose up beside her again.
"Oh well, you know Tony, he kinda comes up with plans on the spot" Nat shrugged, keeping both hands on the wheel. Nat drove for another quarter mile inland towards the main square of the city. I was too busy taking out the evil suits when and I didn't notice her slam on the brake. My body hit the side mirror and I tumbled to the ground.
Nat kicked the door open and dropped down to the ground, landing perfectly on her feet. I rubbed my titanium allow fingers on the new bruise on my forehead. I glanced up to Nat, a smirk rested on her lips "Nice going"
"It would have been nice for you to give me a heads up" I grumbled as Nat stuck her hand out to me which I took cautiously. She pulled me up swiftly to my feet.
"Now where's the fun in that?"
I rolled my eyes at her snarky comment. From where Nat and I were, a small mangled up church stood a few meters away. The walls had been blown out on the sides and the roof has collapsed. A small circular space in the middle was cleared, cleared enough to show a large device built in to the ground. It's the core, the machine that is causing the city to rise in the air. I followed after Nat as she ran towards the device.
"So, what's the sitch, flying robot man?" I asked once we reached the device. My Dad was standing their coated in his red and gold Iron Man suit.
"This, my lovely child, is the sitch" He pointed to drill, his other hand squeezed my shoulder "If Ultron gets a hand on the core, we lose" In that moment, Thor and Steve showed up in the center with us. Nat was there with the Hulk by her side. The twins swung in from nowhere. Wanda floated in from above and Pietro sped in on foot.
"Hey, you said you'd see me when we win" I pointed out sarcastically, narrowing my eyes at my blonde Sokovian friend.
"Have we won?" Pietro asked, adding a hint of sass to his voice.
"No not really" I shook my head.
Pietro gave a shrug of his shoulders.
"Then no, I don't see you. You are invisible"
Wanda laughed.
"Well if you can't see her, then her big mouth can give her away" Clint added slyly under his breath. I almost didn't hear it. Everyone chuckled.
"Very funny!" I yelled, and then realized that he was right. I lowered my voice to a whisper "very funny"
Across the way, a body was flying towards from the sky. Everyone got in to battle mode and readied their weapons and abilities. I balled my fists together and aligned my body in to a defensive position. Nat scooter closer to me and ignited the electrifiers on her hands. Dad was in front of me, he glanced over his shoulder "Stay close to me, if anything happens or something goes wrong, I want you to run"
"I'm not going to run, Dad" I said, keeping my voice steady "I'm not afraid of him... I don't think"
"You're just like me" I could hear the smile in his voice even with the helmet down over his face "You never listen"
A half smile formed on my lips.
"Is that the best you can do?" My Demi-God friend hollered to Ultron, waving his hammer around in the air.
Ultron stopped mid flight and stayed put in the air. He reached behind him and signaled his hands for something. All the sudden, hundreds, maybe even a thousand suits rounded the corner in a metal grey cloud. My mouth fell open. We are so dead.
Ultron has all of them, and it's just like ten of us or so. The Vision stood beside Thor, he didn't seem too concerned with all of this. I can't really get a good read on that Rudolf the Red Head Vision. Is he nervous? Scared? Happy? Neutral? Constipated?.... I should probably just stop there.
"You had to ask" Steve mumbled.
"This is the best I can do" Ultron spoke, his voice sounded from all the suits around. The echo and depth of the voice was unbelievable "This is exactly what I wanted. All of you against all of me. How can you possibly hope to stop me?" Ultron asked as if already knowing the answer.
"Well, like the old man said..." Dad nodded his head to Steve "together"
