CHAPTER THIRTEEN: YOU'RE FORGIVEN
TO SAY SALEM DIDN'T SEE it coming when Fury appeared from nowhere with a helicarrier would be an understatement. He had brought a chance for them to get the citizens of Sokovia to safety, and so that's what they were all currently doing. They ushered the people into the boats, putting as many on them as they could before sending them back to the helicarrier. Salem could see Rhodey killing the bots from a distant, a small smile forming on her face before she went back to doing her job. She shared a look with Wanda, nodding her head at the woman before they led that next group of people onto the lifeboats. Suddenly, Tony's voice filled their comms.
"Thor, I got a plan!"
"We're out of time. They're coming for the core." Thor responded.
"Rhodey, get the rest of the people on board that carrier." Tony oredered.
"On it." Rhodey answered.
"Avengers, time to work for a living."
"Oh yay, the fun stuff." Salem smiled before she walked over to Clint who took her hand, allowing her to teleport them both to where Tony and Thor were. when they appeared, they started to fight off the bots that were already coming. One by one, all of the avengers joined in, except for Natasha and Bruce who they were all patiently waiting on. The bots stopped coming for the moment, but they all stayed prepared in case more were to come.
"Romanoff? You and Banner better not be playing "hide the zucchini."" Tony spoke.
"Relax, Shell-head. Not all of us can fly." Natasha retorted. She soon joined, looking at Tony as she said, "What's the drill?"
Tony pointed to the core. "That's the drill. If Ultron gets a hand on the core, we lose."
Salem couldn't help but smile when she saw Natasha, taking the quiet moment to give her a side hug before removing herself. Natasha smiled gently at the teenager before they all directed their attention to Ultron who appeared in front of the church.
"Is that the best you can do?!" Thor shouted, looking at the robot. Salem glared at the god, mumbling curses under her breath as she watched Ultron raise his hand, allowing a giant wave of robots to appear behind him.
"You had to ask." Steve sighed, glancing at the god.
"This is the best I can do." Ultron told him. "This is exactly what I wanted. All of you, against all of me. How could you possibly hope to stop me?"
"Well, like the old man said. Together." Tony said. Hulk let out a roar and like that, the fight was initiated.
Robot after robot crawled into the church, trying to touch the core, but the avengers were too fast. Salem continuously teleported, using her knives to stab them, or her hands to rip off their heads. Wanda used her chaos magic, trying to keep in control and make sure she didn't hit anybody. Pietro sped around, punching his fist at the robots and shattering them. Vision would use the mind stone to his abilities, occasionally flying up to destroy a robot that tried to dive for the core from above. Tony used his blasters to obliterate the bots. Thor used his hammer, swinging it and shattering them into pieces. Steve used his shield to knock them away or to stab them in the chest with it. Natasha used her widow bites, gun, and electronic batons to kill them whilst Clint used his bow and arrows to shoot them dead.
