We're Not All Heroes - AOU

9

There's debris and metal body parts flying everywhere and scattered throughout the room.

We stop and take a breather while we wait for the next wave of Ultron bots, its quiet.

The Avengers soon join us at the church again, all waiting for the bots to show up again.

A few more attack and attempt to get to the core but we take them out.

There was a small break when nothing happens, all of us breathing heavily.

Suddenly Ultron flies up into our view.

"That the best you got?" Thor yells at the Android.

"No. This," he brings his fist up, clenching it, "is the best I've got" and about a thousand more bots fly up beside him.

"You just had to ask" steve sighs and shakes his head, I stiffle a laugh at that.

"Lets get this party started" I smirk, suddenly all the bots start flying forwards, reaching out for anything to grab and attack.

We all stand around the core, putting up our weapons to fight back.

Everything goes to hell shortly after, metal bodies pile up but more and more keep comming.

Eventually their numbers lessen until theres only a group of them.

There was a large rumble then the feeling of being elevated, I turn to the core where the was an Ultron bot, pressing the button.

I shoot the bot in the head and run over to the core, looking at it.

Once started theres no stopping it.

The Avengers disperse around the parts of the city that is rising, finding more bots and taking them out.

Wanda and I run off down a street, helping people that were stuck or injured because of falling buildings.

I look around until I spot a small body, covered in dust.

"Oh my god" I gasp when I turn the body over. It was a child, dead.

Wanda stands behind me, starting to hyperventilate and back away.

"This is all my fault" she mumbles to herself. "I did this" she cries.

"Hey, stop it." I take her hand and drag her to an empty building, ducking down under a window, "its your fault its our fault. Who cares whose fault it is. Where here trying to stop it, yes? So your going to man up and help us stop it. Or you can stay here, I can go get your brother and he can take you somewhere safe. But if you chose to stay, you are an Avenger" I stand up and shoot at a few straggler bots that fly past.

I turn to the door, turning back to Wanda before going out it to check on her. She's looking at me with such terrified eyes, unblinking.

I sigh and push the door open, running out and shooting down three bots that fly overhead.

"The city is flying and I'm stuck babysitting a science experiment." I sigh to myself.

I see Wanda come out of the doors I came through not long ago, throwing energy balls and magical shit at the robots.

I give her a thumbs up when she turns to me, we run to the edge of the city where natasha, steve and pietro all stare in awe at a helicarrier.

"This is sheild?" Pietro asks.

"His is what sheuld is supposed to be" steve replies, waving to Furry, who is standing at the control panel behind some windows.

We start loading people onto the helicarriers, it going peaceful.

That is, until we hear gunfire and Wanda stops breathing, dropping to her knees and letting out the most heart breaking cry, releasing a red energy from her that crashes into walls. I hear her throat tear and a sob escapes her lips.

I run to Wanda, who still sits on her knees sobbing, grabbing her by the shoulders and shaking her.

"Wanda, you need to get up. Please we need to get these people on the ships and the air is getting thinner" I grab her chin and force her to look at me, "get. up." I tell her.

She looks me in the eyes, tears still running down them. She takes a second and breaths, in then out, again and again until she can breath normally.

She slowly stands up, with my help, tightly holding my hands in hers.

She nods to me in thanks before running over to a family and guiding them onto the ship. I smile at her while I watch.

I turn around when I hear foot steps, I see clint walking towards us, holding something. Wait, someone.

I run over to him, looking down at the body to see pietro. His eyes shut and his chest no longer rising.

I close my eyes and look down, he was a good kid.

Clint takes the speedster to the ship and lays him over a couple seats, laying himself on the ground next to him and groaning.

-

I run back to the helicarrier after doing a sweep of the city and boarding it.

I see Wanda sitting with Clint and pietros body, holding Pietros hand and talking with clint. They both have small smiles on their faces while looking at the blond boy.

Family's lay together, cuddling and holding their loved ones. I see alot of people crying, either holding stilled bodies or none at all.

There were alot of casualties that we couldn't collect the remains from, leaving the family's to bury empty caskets.

I stand there, looking around at the despair. Everybody hear lost something, some more than others but in the end half of then have nothing left.

I see a man sitting alone, playing with his wedding ring.

I go to him, sitting down, he looks to me for a second before looking back down at his hands.

"All these people here lost someone or something, some a loved one, some their home. But you, you lost everything. Didn't you? I can see it in your eyes. You have nothing left." I pause, looking at him.

He looks to me again, "what's your point?" He asks in an accented voice.

"I also know what thoughts are going through your head right now, the avengers killed your wife and kids. You want revenge right?"

He keeps looking at me.

"Listen to me, its not worth it. Whatever your planning, it's not worth it. Trust me. You will regret it in the end."

I stand up and walk away from him as he continues to stare at my back.

-

Wanda and I stand next to eachother, Sam a few feet away and Vision floating behind us.

We talk quietly while we wait, then the doors open.

Steve and Natasha walk out. Steve, with his hands in his belt, faces us with a stern face.

"Avengers......"
