The Next Generation

by TsukiyoTenshi

When the children were sent off to live with Tony, we all knew the Avengers were gone. But what if they weren't? What if something happened to keep them away for so long? As impossible as it may seem, the Avengers are indeed alive. MY take on the film. COMPLETE!

10. Out of the City

I do not own The Next Avengers: Heroes of Tomorrow!

AN: This is going to be short, so don't be surprised.

-The Next Generation-

XxOut of the CityxX

-Underground-

"We've had it for a couple years," Hawkeye stated as he and the others stood in front of a robo-wasp that was powered down. "But the minute you power it up, Ultron will know, he's—"

"Wired in," Tony finished. "I know. But I know how to wire him out," he said with a smirk.

T'Challa, Clint, Tony, and Henry helped Torunn, James and Azari load up the robo-wasp with whatever supplies they needed.

"We'll buy you all the time we can," a Scavenger told Hawkeye, clasping his hand with his own.

The light-haired male only nodded in determination.

Several explosions sounded off within the mechanized capital as the robo-wasp flew out of Ultra City.

"You did a good job with them, Tony," Betty said as she watched Azari and Pym sleeping as they leaned on one another, the former's tattoos glowing with each breath.

In the seat across from them were the last two Avengers yet to awaken; Janet van Dyne (aka the Wasp) and Steve Rogers (aka Captain America).

"I should've done better," Tony said as tinkered here and there with the weapons the Scavenger had supplied them with.

"You are being too hard on yourself," T'Challa stated, sitting between Henry and Clint on the seat opposite from where Tony worked.

T'Challa had short black hair and dark skin that was a shade lighter than Azari's, but with no more wrinkles than Henry and Clint. His dark-brown eyes gleamed in the afternoon sun.

He, too, wore the same bodysuit Henry and Clint wore.

Torunn looked out of the window as she thought about the day's events, never noticing James walk past her to Hawkeye.

"Everything okay?" James asked, watching the pale-haired boy look out of the window.

"Yeah," Hawkeye reassured. "Yeah, it's just—it's just that I've never been outside the city. It's really big out here."

"That's how we felt when we went inside the city," James grinned. "Why'd you come back for us at the Citadel? After everything you said?"

"The Scavengers look up to me," Hawkeye said simply as though that once statement answered everything. "They rely on me and it's only a matter of time until Ultron wipes out every single one of them. So if you guys have even the slightest shot at taking down Ultron, I've gotta try. Otherwise, what's the point?" He grinned slyly and nudged James. "Besides, anything to impress a girl, right?"

"Girl?" James asked before realization dawned on him. "W-Wait, you mean Torunn? Dude, she's like my sister!"

"So she's available?" Hawkeye asked.

"No, she's not," James said quickly.
