I watch as Steve kicks up the table to act as a shield while one of the suits fly into him. I push Bruce and Nat to the sides slightly and create a shield around one of the suits before pulling it apart. Pieces of metal and wiring falling to the ground in a heap.
Thor uses his hammer to smash a few into the air while Hill shots them, causing some damage. Tony gets blasted back through a book shelf so I run over to him, helping him up while also clipping an extra gauntlet bracelet around his wrist.
"Rhodey!" I hear Hill shout over the chaos and look around to see a window smashed. I go over and see Rhodey laying on the platform below, the air being knocked out of him. I jump through the window frame down to him. I ignore the small shock of pain that shoots up my legs when I land and check him for any internal injuries.
Not sensing any I help him up "Come on, Lazy. Everyone else is busting their arses and your taking a nap."
He chuckles at my humour before I grab his collar and levitate us back up the the opening in the window. I set him down and run over to my fiancé who is currently shielding himself behind the bar.
"Love, I can handle it here. You go and check on the kids. Their is a shield on the room but Tori would have woken them up by now to let them know what's going on." He agrees with me and kisses me quickly before running in the direction of out little ones. I shield him as he goes so he doesn't get hurt.
The whole living room is in chaos as every ducks and jumps out of the way of the blasts. Having enough at seeing everyone struggle I bring all my shield back to me and wrap them around each suit. I bring them together and hoover them in front of Thor.
"Light'em up, Sparky" I roll my eyes at the nickname I just used, I had definitely been spending too much time with Tony. Thor slams his hammer into the shield and I let the lightening course through it.
We all watch as the remaining suits starts to shake and flinch before they stop moving all together. "Well that was dramatic. I'm sorry, I know you mean well. You just didn't think it through" We all turn back to Ultron as he spoke. His words irritating us all the more. "You want to protect the world, but you don't want it to change. How is humanity saved if it's not allowed to evolve? With these? These puppets. There's only one path to peace. The avengers extinction"
While Ultron talks I walk over to Tony, who was still sitting in the steps after flying around on the back of a suit and being thrown to the ground. I hold my hand out to him and heal the injuries I could find. I don't help him up though, letting him catch his breath.
At the end of his speech Thor throws his hammer at him and we all stay how we are as Ultron slams into the wall before falling to the ground. "I had strings, but now I'm free." We hear Ultron say in a spine chilling voice. I shiver slightly before leaving the others where they are, just wanting to be with my kids right now. Before I leave I wave my hand and let everything fix itself while I run through the corridor.
Reaching the kids room I pull them both into a hug when they run to me. Bruce was sat in the chair next to the bed with a book in his hand. "Mommy!"
"You getting your dad to read to you this time?" I ask the two children as I kneel on the ground in front of them. The both nod enthusiastically and I smile as I place a kiss on both of their heads.
I take the book from Bruce and motion him to go help Tony with Jarvis. He places a kiss on all of our foreheads and wishes the kids goodnight before leaving. Once they are both asleep I leave them in the same bed and quietly leave the room, turning off the light as I go. The room being left softly light by the stars on the ceiling.
I had Tony add in that feature after the kids wanted to learn the constellations, now they could look at the stars whenever they wanted without having to outside, especially in winter.
"Tori, where is everyone?"
"They are in Mr. Starks lab Miss" I join the others just as Thor comes flying back in.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa!" Steve jumps up as Thor picks Tony up by his throat. I ignore Clint's side comment and quickly step between the two.
"Come on buddy use your words"
"I have more then enough words to describe you, Stark." I place my hand over Thor's heart and send him a calming pulse as I gently push him back. Thor finally lets go and I spin around to heal Tony's throat before it can bruise.
"Thor. The Legionnaire." Steve tries to get everyone back on track while I move over to my fiancé.
"The trail went cold about 100 miles out, but it's headed north. And it has the sceptre. Now we have to retrieve it, again."
"Genies out of that bottle. Clear and present is Ultron." I turn to Nat when she speaks up but lean on Bruce's side when he wraps his arms around me.
Cho speaks up from her place next to the remain of one of the suits. "I don't understand. You built this program. Why is it trying to kill us?"
Tony starts laughing and we all look at him as if he has gone insane. I take Bruce's hand in mine and start tracing patterns on his palm for comfort but to also calm him and Hulk since they were both still on edge.
"You think this is funny?" I shake my head slightly knowing that Thor was getting even more annoyed with Tony. I mean it was understandable. He was excited to go home and now he had to wait longer to see his friends and family while we looked for the sceptre again after only finding it 3 days ago.
"No. It's probably not, right? This is very terrible. Is it so...Is it so...it is. It's so terrible." Tony tries to keep a straight face but fails, Thor steps closer to him and I get ready to calm him down again.
"This could have been avoided if you hadn't played with something you don't understand." Thor was then interrupted by Tony, "No. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. It is funny. It's a hoot that you don't get why we need this."
Bruce seems to sense the tension in the room increase and steps forward, pulling me with him. "Tony, maybe this might not be the time."
"Really? That's it? You just roll over, show your belly every time somebody snarls?" I was about to defend Bruce when he tighten his told on me. "Only when I've created a murder bot."
"We didn't. We weren't even close. Were we close to an interface?"
Luckily Steve speaks up before Tony could say something that he could regret "Well, you did something right. And you did it right here. The Avengers were supposed to be different than S.H.I.E.L.D."
I take Bruce's hand in mine and trace designs on his palm, placing a kiss on it every now and then. I feel his love towards me increase and he pulls me closer and kisses the back of my head. We have our small moment all the while Tony talks away in the background.
"Anybody remember when I carried a nuke through a wormhole? Saved New York? Recall that? A hostile alien army came charging through a hole in space. We're standing 300 feet below it. We're the Avengers. We can bust arms dealers all the livelong day, but that up there, that's...That's endgame. How were you guys planning on beating that?"
Rhodey makes small comments in-between Tony's little speech. We all look at Tony and Steve speaks up, answering Tony's question with a single word. "Together."
"We'll lose"
"Then we'll do that together, too. Thor's right. Ultron's calling us out. And I'd like to find him before he's ready for us. The world's a big place. Let's start making it smaller."
Before anyone can get to work I stop them. "Get some sleep first and something to eat, were no good to the world if we are half dead on our feet. The problem is still going to be here in a few hours." They all agree and go to get some sleep but Tony stays up to fix Jarvis. I Kiss Bruce on the cheek and walk over to my brother figure. I place my hands on his shoulders as he stands with his back to me.
"Tori can fix him for now. You need sleep. If your having nightmares again then feel free to sleep with the kids. I know they help calm you." With that I hug him from behind briefly before leaving him to his thoughts.
