"You helped create it?!" Steve shouted as he dodged another blast.

"It sounds bad but trust me I had a good reason." Tony shouted back

"You had a good reason? For creating a death machine and ruining your own sister's wedding?" Clint smirked

"I didn't know, okay?! Can we talk about this later? I would prefer it if we focused on not dying!" Tony shouted as a loud roar from the Hulk echoed throughout the church. The Hulk launched at the machine, fists raised but his force seemed to have little effect on the metal work.

"It appears to have a force shield protecting it, Man of Iron." Thor said a little too happy for Tony's liking. The robot turned and fired another blast in the Hulk's direction knocking him back. The Hulk ripped through the wall of the church creating another large gap in the structure. It was then the machine turned again, advancing on Tony. The billionaire had little time to react before the machine had picked him up by the throat and threw him in the opposite direction. Luckily for Tony his Iron Man suit caught him in midair to prevent a rather nasty fall.

Iron Man raised his arm, shooting a repulsor at the machine that counteracted and sent a blast of its own. The energy met in the middle sending both of them hurling in the opposite direction to each other. Tony let out a groan as his face plate lifted up; he had a gash above his eye.

"Stark it's no use. We need to find a weakness!" Steve shouted as he scanned the remains of the church, "Hawkeye get up top, try and surprise it. Tony you know technology best, me and Nat will try and draw its fire while you figure out how this thing works."

The avengers nodded and set to work. Steve and Natasha were the bait and positioned themselves at opposite ends of the church, taking it in turns to distract the machine. Clint had taken the stairs that were located at the back on the church hoping to get up high and get the advantage. The Hulk was no where to be seen and neither was Thor which made Steve worry a little. They worked together as a team, keeping the robot distracted long enough for Tony to scan it's metal work for a soft spot.

"There's a panel at the back, all the relays are there. That's our best bet, Cap!" Tony shouted as Jarvis finished evaluating the robot. Steve and Natasha immediately began focusing on the back panel on the robot.

"Bullets don't touch this thing." Natasha shouted as her gun fired its last bullet. The machine blasted again, this time clipping Natasha's shoulder knocking her down.

"Fry it!" All the avengers turned as they heard Ella's voice shout out from across the church nearest to Natasha. "Tony, it's a machine; it has a circuit board, right? Fry the circuit board!"

Tony thought for a moment, "That might just work. AIM isn't exactly the greatest inventors around. Cap, where's Thor? If he can light the thing up it might short circuit."

Steve looked around for the Norse God not seeing him anywhere. That's when they saw him, a massive grin on his face as the Hulk threw him towards the machine at top speed. Thor had his hammer outstretched before him and it was humming as small sparks of lightening emitted from it. The Asgardian collided with the machine with great force, his hammer lodged into the panel at the back of the metal work. The sparks from the hammer seemed to grow as the whole robot became a conductor for the electricity, a live current travelling down the body work. The face screen distorted before turning black, the whole machine shutting down and collapsing it in itself.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief before turning to Tony, scowls on their faces. Tony looked around the room and gulped.

"I can explain this."
