***PROLOGUE***
"Logan! That thing's for a dead on attack! We need a combined assault!" Said Captain America. He didn't know why Stark was here. If him and. Reed Richards hadn't built that damn thing, none of this wouldn't have happened. Now Ultron had become self aware, made an entire robot army, and it took more than just his team to beat them. He had assembled S.H.I.E.L.D. to help with the problem, but only two agents remained, for now. Plus he was SURE Ward had his spine broken, as Skye was carrying him to the jet. Widow, God bless her, was fighting by his side. God, he loved that woman. He already had two children with her, Bucky and Natalie. He couldn't wait to go back to their apartment to see them.
But no, they weren't at the apartment. They were in a secure S.H.I.E.L.D. bunker, somewhere in South America. He could see the pain in Bucky's eyes as he watched the S.H.I.E.L.D. agent carry him away. He remembered his last words to his son. "Stay strong, Bucky." He remembered his daughter, clutching on to the little stuffed spider his wife had given her. That little stuffed spider that other girls would've called 'scary' or 'creepy.' But his daughter called it cute, made it her friend. His kids who he loved more than anyone...
"Get your head in the game, Rogers!" Yelled Wolverine into his earpiece. Logan just wanted this to be over. He had seen most of the X-Men get killed by now, all except Beast, Colossus, and Rogue. He couldn't believe that the X-Men were having to fight Stark's crazy invention. But, since he's and Avenger too, he would still be fighting this thing. "Sorry, Logan. Just thinking about the kids." Said Steve. "We've got plenty of time to do that in hell." Said Logan. He was fed up with this thing's bullshit, he was fed up with Roger's bullshit, he was fed up with everyone's bullshit. He had a kid, too. Little John. Well, technically he was a clone, but he was raising him as his son. But he didn't get distracted by that. He had a machine to take down. "Stark, does it have a weakness?" Asked Hawkeye. "It was designed to take everyone on S.H.I.E.L.D.'s hero database down. If it had a weakness I wouldn't know it." Replied Stark. "What we need is someone not on the database," Said Black Widow. "Daredevil, Elektra..." "They were already here, Natasha," Said Spider-Man. "They died."
"Look, what we do is we need to go after it's power source." Said Hulk/Bruce. No one knew what to call him since he went permanent green. "Stark, what's that thing powered on?" Said Bruce. "It's powered by the tesseract." Said Stark. "That can't be true, Fury said that that thing was light years away!" Said Captain America. "There's a lot of things Fury tells you." "Stop bickering, people, time is precious!" Said Ant-Man. "Where's the tesseract?" "Stark tower. That thing powers the Xavier school, Avenger's Mansion, The Baxter Building, and basically every S.H.I.E.L.D. facility in America." Said Tony. "Well, why don't we just remove it?" Asked Wasp. "Removing it will cause an EMP. Any technology we have will be shut down. My suit, Vision, all of Forge's weapons, Widow's stingers, plus the Hellicarrier will drop destroying all of New York." Said Tony. "Why didn't it do that when we were fighting the Battle of New York?" Asked Captain America. "I may not be correct, but since that was a magical device, the Tesseract's energy could be properly harnessed. Since this is a scientific device, it's energy isn't properly being used." Said Thor, taking out 5 androids with a lightning blast. "Why don't we just move the Hellicarrier out over water and properly send it down?" Asked Invisible Woman. "Have you seen how slow that thing moves?" Said Widow sarcastically. "I find it hard to believe that when Stark was building a giant attack robot, he didn't build a kill switch." Said Logan. "Well, I would have, but you know the tesseract. We shut off the power, it turns it back on." Said Stark.
"What about-" Beast was cut off mid sentence by Logan. "No. He's too unpredictable."
"It is obvious we will need a new strategy." Said Black Panther. "Well, there is one thing we could do..." Said Reed Richards. "And you thought NOW would be a good time to mention that?" Said Spider-Man. "Back at the Baxter Building, there's a short out device that could possibly rewire Ultron's circuits to disable it, by changing the photons into light and completely stopping the electric flow." Said Reed. "Well, we'd better hurry." Said Stark. "Because that thing's about to give off a massive energy burst that could kill us all." "What are we gonna do?" Said Colossus. "We're going to do what we did in New York." Said Cap. "Assemble. Attack. Avenge."
"I'll need a team to get back to the Baxter Building, that'll be one of the most surrounded places." Said Reed. "I'll take Beast, Vision, Sue, and any agents left. The rest of you, stay here and fight it off. We'll be back."
"We have five minutes before New York becomes dust. What do we do, Cap?" Said Stark. "I want Rogue, Colossus, and Ant-Man to charge through. Clear a path. Hawkeye, Spidey, Stark, and Scarlet to attack any in the air. The rest of us will infiltrate and find Ultron. Where is he, Stark?" Said Steve. "He's in the Mansion," Said Stark. "He's going to be heavily guarded, though." "I know." Said Cap. "But we're going to have to risk it."
"What does it look like?" Said Grant Ward. "It looks like a bomb trigger. I rewired the one that Green Goblin made." Said Reed. "Where is it?" Said Beast. "Top floor."
It was an interesting elevator ride, but when they got to the top they found the trigger. "Press it and let's get out of here!" Said Skye. "It's not that simple. It has to be pushed within a fifty foot radius." Said Reed. "Then what are we waiting for? Let's go?" Said Ward.
Things were crazy at the mansion. Hulk had cleared a path for them to get through, but not without casualties. They had lost Rogue, Colossus, and Scarlet Witch. Vision would NOT be happy about that. When they finally found Ultron, they we're knocked back through the wall by a small energy wave. "Hello, friends." Said an all too familiar voice.
"Loki!" Cried Thor. "Brother." Loki replied coldly. "I thought you dead." Said Thor, holding back tears. "You really thought that the rightful king of Asgard could die? Nay, I simply posed as father after his death." "Loki, stop this. You'll kill millions!" Said Cap." "This will have happened, eventually," Said Loki. "I merely sped up the process. This body I have chosen cannot be beaten, it cannot be destroyed, it can only survive. Thank you, Stark." Said Loki. "Now, watch as your precious New York is obliterated!"
"Wait," said Vision. "I sense something coming. Sue, we need a force field." Invisible Woman did so, but the blast of energy had destroyed the. Baxter Buliding. They fell thirty stories, and were all caught by Mr. Fantastic at the last moment. But it was too late, and not only for New York.
"Sue?" Said Mr. Fantastic, shaking her. He checked her pulse, but nothing. He shook harder. "Sue? Sue?! SUE?!" Nothing. The energy from the blast had overwhelmed her, and she was drained of her life to protect the others. Mr. Fantastic, Beast, Vision, Skye, and Ward were the only survivors of New York. They were too late.
