Sorry for leaving you guys. But I promise that this will possibly be the best chapter in this whole story. But if you have a different opinion, then whatever. Just visit the BRAND NEW poll on my page if you agree or disagree. Either way, you should visit it.
"No!" Tony exclaimed. "Pepper!"
Lucy laughed at Tony's cry. "You can't do anything about it."
"He might not." Clint said as he opened his fist. Mjolnir was suddenly in his hand. He summoned lightning to burst himself out. "But I might." Clint instantly flew out the window. Tony felt a small sudden wave of relief pass by him.
"Let's see what you can do?" Lucy muttered as she saw Clint fly after it. She looked at the remaining Avengers. "Good luck trying to get out."
Clint sat on top of the missile and threw the hammer on the ground. He figured that he can always get that later. Clint opened the panel and saw a bunch of wires.
"Great. I have about two minutes before this thing goes off. How hard can it be." After a moment of thought, nothing. "C'mon Clint. For all those people out there in the city. The remaining Avengers. Wait...Avengers...Natasha! All those freakin' crime shows she made me sit through."
He started pulling out wires in the order he remembered from those crime shows. What he hoped was that he remembered, and in time.
"We need to get out." Bruce said as he tried to pull through the restraints.
"Yeah, no shit Bruce." Tony replied as he did the same.
"Our only possibility is Natasha." Steve said as he glanced over at Natasha. She was still out unconscious. "But she's not available."
"What about your suit, Friend Tony?" Thor asked. "Can it come to me like my hammer used to?"
"I don't know." Tony responded. For once he wasn't sure. "It depends on which suit you took. Which mark did you take?"
"Your suits are labeled mark?" Thor asked Tony. The sudden archer dropped his head in dismay. "Then I do not know."
"You know, maybe, we could always hope Clint will come back or Natasha will wake up from whatever she's in." Steve suggested.
Clint was still rearranging the order of wires until he had two in his hands and was completely stumped. He had to cut one of the wires. But was it the red one, or blue. Classic crime show trivia. One wire would make the bomb explode on the spot possibly killing him and the city, and the other will make the bomb drop to the ground.
The pressure was getting to Clint. The city of Waverly was a few miles away and this bomb was getting closer.
'Godammit stupid fortune cookie.' Clint thought. 'Did you give Tony my hawk senses too?'
He knew he had to pick one soon. The fate of the civilians were in his hands. As he entered the city, the bomb didn't blow. Something was up. It was being aimed at a target. But where? Now that the bomb was made to kill someone, his heart was racing even faster.
"I got it." Tony said. "I know what we can do."
"What?" Steve asked.
"I'm waking up Natasha."
"Good luck." Bruce said. "You know Natasha's a sound sleeper."
"Just trust me." Tony told Bruce. "This is bound to work." He took a deep breath. "Natasha! Clint's dead!"
In an instant, they all saw Natasha's eyes wide open. She took a bunch of deep breaths and looked at the restraints. "What the hell...?"
"Told you." Tony smirked at the group. "Natasha, get us out of here. Break through and do some smashing."
"I never thought I would hear that." Steve stated.
"I just need to get mad..." Natasha said. "And I have no clue on how."
"How about I tell you this." Bruce offered. "The person under all of this is a random Chinese chick who means to eliminate us."
"Well, she messed with the wrong RedHead." Natasha muttered as she forced her eyes to turn bright green.
"Now that's what I'm talking about." Tony laughed as Natasha smashed her way through her restraints and freed the others. The Iron Man suit automatically attached to Thor and functioned. "So you picked that one."
Everyone minus Clint was armed.
"Now." Thor stated boldly. "Let us find our main antagonist."
"On second thought." Lucy who was suddenly in the room stared at them. She pulled out two types of swords from her jacket sleeve. To be more specific, the were swords called sais. "I found you. Now, it's you all verses me."
"What about Clint?" Bruce asked her. "You know he's part of the team."
"Oh please, knowing the fact that he went after the nuclear bomb, he's most likely dead."
At the notice, Natasha came charging at her at an instant. But with ease, Lucy was avoiding every one of her green fists with a series of backflips. Tony was shooting arrows constantly trying to kill her if she had to. Thor was blasting at his own will. Steve was shooting bullets non-stop. Lastly, Bruce was attempting to throw a punch at her. They all hoped that Clint would magically fly in at one point.
The bomb Clint was sitting on was heading to one certain house at the edge of the city. The simple brick placement rang a bell in his mind from various pictures he's seen around the tower at times. Once it struck him, he had to make a choice fast. This was the house Pepper was staying at.
From the window, he saw Pepper staring at him with confusion. Clint made the decision. It might have been wrong, or right. As he cut the blue wire, he stared into Pepper's deep blue-green eyes currently filled with an endless amount of tears as he mouth the words, 'I'm so sorry. Tony has always loved you.' as he along with the missile crashed through the house. It wouldn't have made a difference if she ran deeper within the house, the bomb would have killed her either way.
It's not like the battle with the remaining Avengers was any better. By now, they were all battered, bruised, covered in bloody wounds and with all their spandex uniforms basically ripped. As Thor continued blasting, he got a disturbing alert from Jarvis.
"I am terribly sorry Sir." Jarvis told him. "But the suit seems to be out of power." As the system shut down, Lucy ducked an arrow from Tony. She ran over and used one of her sais to slice his bow in half.
"Whoa." Tony said. "That's unfair!"
"Take this." Lucy said as she kicked him over. Tony slammed against a wall and slid down in pain. She headed over to Bruce who blocked every one of her hits with the shield. But Lucy got in a handstand and spun around kicking him over. She bent back his arm causing it to fracture. Bruce swore he heard a crack in there.
Steve ran out of bullets at one point so started attempting to kick Lucy over. As he jumped in the air to kick her over, Lucy stabbed one of her sais at his waist causing him to slam to the ground. He winced once he noticed the amount of blood he was losing at once.
As Natasha stormed over to her, she slammed Lucy against a wall with an angry fist and a matching green fist to knock the life out of her. Lucy smirked at the girl and used her remaining sai to stab her right in the middle of her chest right in her heart. Natasha backed away taking breaths as she pulled out the sai and forced herself to shrink back to her regular self. With her vision blurring, she fell to the ground.
Lucy picked up both of her sais and placed them back in her jacket. She headed over to her master computers and set the building to explode with the Avengers still inside.
"Rest in peace, Earths Mightiest Heroes." Lucy muttered.
