Spirit - Steve Rogers Story

- 9 -

"Stark is, he's a sickness!" Ultron cried out.

They had entered the boat on the the coast of Africa. It was dark, the boat itself having multiple levels. It smelled and Rei was avoiding puddles on the ground. 

"Ahh, Junior." Tony landed along with Steve and Thor at his sides. "You're gonna break your old man's heart."

Rei assumed that the Avengers simply always had good timing when entering hostile situations. Rei knew Tony had a flair for the dramatics, but he played it off like it was nothing. Kind of makes it hard to hate the guy. 

Rei leaned out of the corner just enough to see what was happening. 

"If I have to." Ultron responded, Wanda and Pietro following. 

Thor tried to reason, "We don't have to break anything."

Rei could see Natasha and Clint look over their own corners. She gave a small nod, more for Rei to ease her nerves.

"Clearly you've never made an omelet." Ultron sarcastically remarked. Tony is definitely the maker of this robot thing. 

"He beat me by one second." Tony looked over his shoulder at Thor. Thor was confused on how Tony thought this was a good time to joke around. 

Pietro stepped forward, "Ah, this is funny, Mr. Stark. It's what, comfortable? Like old times?" He glanced at the missiles below them. Rei glared at him, though he could never see her from her location. Clearly they are so deep in their hatred they won't let it go. 

"This was never my life." Tony responded sternly, the humor gone from his voice.

Steve looked towards the twins, "You two can still walk away from this." Rei rolled her eyes, playing the humanity card Rogers with people who want you dead. Nice. 

"Oh, we will." Wanda smirked. Rei hoped the team would keep an eye out for her. 

"I know you've suffered." Rei held off a groan, this man needs to learn the time and place to play this game. 

"Uuughh! Captain America. God's righteous man, pretending you could live without a war. I can't physically throw up in my mouth, but..." Ultron gestured to his face. Rei almost burst out laughing, the robot was beginning to be funnier than Tony himself. 

"If you believe in peace, then let us keep it." Thor pleaded, his eyes watching Ultron alone.

"I think you're confusing peace with quiet." Ultron walked forward. 

"Yuh-huh. What's the Vibranium for?" Tony asked. 

Rei had noticed it as soon as she entered, but why they needed so much, she didn't have the answer. 

"I'm glad you asked that, because I wanted to take this time to explain my evil plan--" Ultron cut himself off by magnetically pulling Tony towards him before tossing him into a wall. Tony shot out and the two began fighting. 

All hell broke out for everyone else, Ultron's drones began attacking Steve and Thor, the twins fought as well. A few began to attempt to sneak up on Clint, Natasha, and Rei. 

"Move, move, move!" Rei heard loudly. Suddenly, a bunch of men began attacking them as well. Rei sighed inwardly, the drones and Klaues men were annoying to fight. The air was filled with gunshots and whirring drones. Rei was using air, metal, and fire bending to deal with everything around her. Clint was helping by shooting arrows to those who got too close. Natasha was fighting a mini group of soldiers. Rei barely glanced up to see Ultron and Tony fighting each other, shoving each other into walls. 

Rei was getting annoyed, she had a few cuts and bruises that she would need to heal later. These robots were attacking her from all angles, one shoved her across the room, roughly into a wall. A line of men ran down the hall towards Rei. She gave a small smile, before creating a wall of fire and pushing it down the hall. She didn't bother to see the results before metal bending a drone that came up behind her. Rei eventually made it to the lowest floor, in hopes it might be easier to see who's is coming for her and for Clint to shoot at them.
