Dented Iron (Hiatus)

Take that off and what are you?

When Alex caught up to Rhodey, with the help of Jarvis and some fast cars. Rhodey climbs onto the boat with Alex following after. "Come on. You're not gonna freak out on me, right?"

"I hope not" Alex sighed holding her gun tight, the two move among the barrels to get closer to the center. Rhodey would go after the President and retrieve the Iron Patriot suit, while Alex went after Pepper and Killian.

"Oh, my God. " Rhodey sighs as he looks up, Alex follows his gaze "He's strung up over the oil tanker. They're gonna light him up, man."

"Viking funeral. Public execution." Alex replied.

"Yeah, death by oil."

Rhodey and Alex took off running up stairs to get a better vantage. Alex knew the suits were coming, she knew backup was on the way they just needed to get ready.

"Is your gun up?" Rhodey asked.

"Yeah, what do I do?" Alex asked looking around.

"Stay on my six, cover high and don't shoot me in the back."

"I know how to use a gun" Alex replied. Just at that moment gunfire and ricochets sound out. Alex isn't sure how she and Rhodey avoided getting shot. Alex turned and shot the guy hitting him in the chest. Before ducking after Rhodey.

Rhodey looked at her shocked.

"who do you think tested all the guns I shipped overseas? Trust me I didn't like it, but I know how to use them and if we're being honest I'm pissed, I do well under pressure."

'you have 24 hours to assemble my missile" and in 24 hours she did assembled something.

"All personnel, we have hostiles on east unit 12." The PA rang out.

"I'm gonna take a look" Alex leaned up and looked at the ensuing enemies. "Three guys, one girl, all armed."

The two leaned up guns raised as they looked at the enemy.

"God, I would kill for some armour right now."

"You're right. We need backup."

"yeah, a bunch."

"You know what?" Alex nodded in the distance as an intense buzzing filled the air and a sudden breeze came from out of nowhere.

"Is that...?"

"yep"

"Are those...?"

"Yeah."

One by one the boat was surrounded by thirty different Iron man suits. The various suits encircled the tanks and began to lower themselves in formation. It was an impressive and awe-inspiring sight. And now a fair fight.

This is what Alex had been doing, this is what she needed all those suits for and when she got Pepper back it would be worth it. "Merry Christmas, buddy. JARVIS, target Extremis heat signatures. Disable with extreme prejudice."

"Yes, ma'am." All the suits responded.

Alex and Rhodey watched as the suits began taking out the enemies. Alex watched in awe, she may not be able to do as much as the other avengers without a suit, but she, unlike them could build anything. That made her the most dangerous.

"Jarvis, get Igor to steady this thing." Alex said and watched as the hulking suit stabilized the ship.

"This is how you've been managing your down time, huh?" Rhodey asked as they ducked down to avoid gunfire.

"yeah, a suit of armor around the world." Alex turned toward Rhodey "bad things don't stop just because I do or you do. There are things out there that normal humans can't handle."
