"Romanoff. You and banner better not be playing hide the zucchini" Tony spoke through the intercom as he shot at one of the iron suits.

"Relax shell head" Natasha responded as she drove through the city to where everyone else was plowing down the iron suits "Not all of us can fly" Once she arrived she approached Tony and Athena "What's the drill?"

"This is the drill" Tony responded as he monitored to the core "If Ultron gets a hand on the core we lose"

Hulk smashed his way towards everyone as Ultron flew down to the ground and started to approach the avengers. "Is that the best you can do?" Thor shouted in anger glaring at the robot.

Ultron raised his hand and the iron suits started to congregate behind him. Steve let out a heavy sigh as he watched them he then turned to Thor slightly "You had to ask" 

Ultron put out his arms monitoring to his army "This is the best I can do. This is exactly what I wanted. All of you against all of me. How can you possibly hope to stop me?"

Athena started to take power from the sun her hands lit up a bright white. Tony looked over in Steve and Athena's direction "Well like the old man said" He then snapped his head back to Ultron "Together"

Athena started to burn the iron suits down and rip them in half with her telekinesis. Every time she destroyed one another wasn't far behind it causing her to grow frustrated. The rest of the avengers also destroyed the iron suits in hoped to protect the core. As Steve, Natasha, Hulk, Athena, Clint, and the Maximoff twins protected the core Thor, Vision, and Tony managed to get Ultron outside and hit him with all their power causing him to burn slightly and lose part of his face.

"You know, with the benefit of hindsight" Ultron tried to speak but Hulk cut him off by running towards him and punching him causing him to go flying. The iron suits saw that Ultron was hit so they started to run away from the city.

"They'll try to leave the city" Thor warned.

Tony looked around "We can't let them, not even one" He looked down as he spoke out his friend's name "Rhodey"

"I'm on it" Rhodey called back as he started to shoot the iron suits in the sky as he did so Vision joined his side ripping them apart with his bare hands causing Rhodey to pause in shock.

Back on the ground Steve looked around the area he was in "We have to move out. Even I can tell the air is getting thin. You guys get to the boats. I'll sweep for stragglers. Be right behind you" Steve told the group

"What about the core?" Clint asked as he pointed towards it.

"I'll protect it" Wanda spoke loudly as she pushed her chest out "It's my job" 

"You're going to need a little help," Athena told her as she started to walk up to her.

Wanda nodded with a slight smile on her face "Are you willing?" Athena nodded as she joined Wanda's side. When Athena was finally next to her Wanda turned to her brother "Get the people on the boats" 

Pietro shook his head "I'm not going to leave you" 

"I can handle it I have Athena" The two girls both shot an iron suit that was running towards them. "Come back for us when everybody else is off. Not before. You understand"

Pietro grunted in annoyance "You know I'm 12 minutes older than you right?" Wanda just laughed telling him to go he was about to walk off but stopped before looking over at Athena "Do you promise no matter what you will protect her?" 

Athena nodded "No matter what"
