AN: Enjoy!
Vision attempted to charge at Beck, but he immediately summoned a group of drones to intercept him. Vision began to fight his way through, phasing and firing beams, but it was becoming more difficult than he had originally hoped. he was feeling so exhausted..
In the Tower of London, Wanda was also feeling exhausted, her head wound still affecting her. She shook her head, trying to focus. The drones had almost succeeded in opening the door, and she had to protect the kids.
"We're gonna die!" Ned was panicking.
"Hey," said Happy, "Nobody dies on my watch."
"Happy's right" Wanda tried to add, "No one is going to.."
Unfortunately, the boy was beyond reason.
"I've wasted my life playing Video Games, and now I'm gonna die!" Ned wailed. Unfortunately, he then set off a chain reaction of panic in the teens.
"I have a fake ID.. and I've never even used it!" Betty cried.
"I post stupid videos daily for people to like.." Flash groaned.
"I'm sure they're not stupid.." Wanda tried to comfort the boy.
"No, they are" Happy cut them off, until Wanda glared at him "But hey, if it wasn't for those stupid videos, Spider-Man would never have found you."
"Spider-Man follows me?" Flash's eyes lit up. "I saved us, guys!"
"If you saved us, then why are we about to die?!" MJ snapped.
"MJ!" Wanda scolded, wincing at another loud bang on the door from the drones. She liked the girl, but it wouldn't help to have her adding to everyone's stress.
"I'm sorry!" MJ cried. "I'm just obsessed with telling the truth, even if it hurts people's feelings!"
"I'm in love with Spider-Man's Aunt" said Happy, followed by a deafening silence. Everyone gave him strange looks, Wanda raised an eyebrow, and even the drones went quiet. "What? I thought we were sharing."
At that everyone glanced at Wanda for a moment.
"Sharing? Okay then" She began. "Vision and I are getting married, and I don't want to enter married life with the deaths of children on my conscience. So I promise, none of you are dying Today.." The door rattled again, looking as if it was about to burst open."
"We're gonna die!" Ned wailed again.
"What did I just say?" said Wanda sternly. "I'll keep you all safe, but you have to trust me.."
Meanwhile, in his new Berlin headquarters, Nick Fury stood at a broken window, face to face with one of Beck's drones as it was about to fire.
He simply smirked.
"You got me?" He asked into his communicator.
Seconds later, the drone exploded, shot down by Maria Hill as she dangled from a harness elsewhere on the building.
"I got you" She replied. Unfortunately, Hill had been so focused on taking her shot that she failed to notice the arrival of more drones, including the one that shot out the cord of her harness. She plummeted, screaming.
"Hill?!" Fury yelled. "What's wrong?!"
Thankfully, before the could hit the ground, the metallic hand of a speeding red and silver figure managed to grab hold of the cord.
"Gotcha! Looks like I made it just in time!"
As the figure came properly into his view, Fury thought, for a moment, that he was seeing a ghost.
"Stark?"
"No, too small" Hill squinted up at her saviour. "I think it's.."
Harley raised his visor for a moment, grinning.
"Hi, Agent Hill, Mr. Fury."
"Keener?" Fury's eye widened.
"Yep!" Harley put his visor back down, twisting in the air, keeping hold of Hill with one hand while firing at a drone with the other. Some of his droids were dealing with more arriving drones, but they seemed to be taking them out quite quickly. "Guys, I have Fury and Agent Hill!"
Fury shook his head in near disbelief. They were definitely recruiting that kid.
"Great work, Harley!" Vision called through his communicator, still fighting his way through the drones. "Stay with them! Wanda, how are you?"
Wanda had pushed both the kids, and a reluctant happy behind her.
"We are running seriously low on time here, Vizh.. How close are you and Peter to getting those glasses?"
"I think we're making good progress.." Vision shot down another drone, slightly concerned that his energy beam was not quite as potent as it had been earlier in the day. "Peter?"
"Hang in there just a little longer man, I'm almost there!"
So, Vision fought on. He was visibly exhausted by the time he reached Beck.
"What's wrong, super-bot?" The villain smirked. "You need your batteries charged?"
"I have a bit left in the tank" Vision punched Beck right in his smirk.
Beck scowled and, quite unwisely, tried to punch back. Vision made no effort to dodge the blow, simply increasing his density. His attacker yelped, and Vision was quite satisfied to see a bruise immediately blooming over Beck's knuckles. Relaxing a little and letting his density return to normal, Vision failed to notice that Beck had summoned more drones. Behind him, one of them fired, and Vision stumbled.
Back in the Tower, Wanda suddenly cried out, clutching her shoulder.
"Wanda?" Happy frowned. "What's wrong?"
"I'm fine.." She scowled, but Beck wouldn't be if he had hurt Vision. She didn't have time to worry about that though, as the door finally gave way. "Quick, everyone split up and hide among the exhibits, we won't be as easy a target.."
Sparks skittered along the edge of Vision's newest wound. He fell to his knees.
"You're too late" Beck taunted. "I have the power now, you can't beat me!"
"I know I can't.." said Vision.
Beck looked confused. Vision gathered his strength, leaping backwards as Peter burst through the floor between them, grabbing Beck by the collar of his illusion suit and dangling him as he grabbed onto the roof.
"Your lies are over, Beck!" Vision yelled.
"..But he can" Vision grinned.
