AN It was more complicated than I thought writing a battle scene with Robots, and hopefully, I did alright with it; by this point, I just wanted to end the whole Ultron plot, it was getting hard to do, and I want to move on with the story. I like the chapter, so hopefully, the readers do too. It's not in any one person's pov, so it sort of bounces around a bit.

Chapter 38: Helping those you dislike for the ones you care about.
By the time they reached Sokovia, it was nothing but a battlefield, the Avengers versus Ultron and his merry little band of murder drones or robots or whatever the hell they were supposed to be; shots were being fired, explosions were going off, screams, shouts, yelling, fighting, and lightning bolts were all over the place. The Avengers had been here an hour before the others finally got there, and within that time, the whole area turned into a war zone, oh and Sokovia was now being raised into the sky.
Loki, Saphira, Enid, and Remy all stood at the open door, watching the battle unfold as Mystique and Kurt were at the controls lowering the craft; they were silent as their eyes searched for Thor. Just a few moments ago, Thor had called Loki's phone asking how far they were, something about Ultron lifting Sokovia and planning to slam it back down on Midgard; they needed somewhere for the civilians to go while they destroy the place and defeat Ultron, so now Kurt was going to help Barton and Romanoff get the people on their ship. At the same time, Mystique will stay in the control room, keeping it in the air and getting ready to take off if they needed to.
Loki and Saphira weren't all that pleased about having a bunch of strangers on their spaceship, which was their home at the moment. Still, thankfully it was only until they got the people somewhere safe, and they hoped that didn't take long, they were going to have the people sitting in the corridors, only space on the ship where they wouldn't be jammed packed like sardines.
As they watched out the door, they spotted Iron Man flying around, shooting lasers at drones, and looked to be looking for something.
Clint Barton was shooting arrows at the drones, which was stupid. Still, they guessed he didn't have many other options, a couple of times, he climbed up onto something and jumped off and tackle the robots; Barton seemed to be mostly trying to help keep people safe as they waited for help to show, but Loki and Saphira doubted he was pleased they were the help.
Natasha Romanoff was doing the same as Barton; they worked together, taking out what robots they could but mostly helping the civilians.
They saw an android they guessed was the Vision flying around like Iron Man and shooting at the drones from the stone in his forehead; sometimes, he would have to wrestle with one.
Bruce Banner or Hulk was nowhere in sight, so what Thor had said was true, Banner had refused to come, afraid of turning into the Hulk again after what happened last time he did, Magneto and his kids were others Stark had called hoping to get help, but before hanging up on them Magneto had said, he got his daughter back, he had no reason to help them now, and that he was busy.
They watched with little amusement as Steve Rogers quickly learned that you couldn't choke out a robot made of metal so, he took to throwing his shield at them, and jumping onto their backs and ripping their heads off.
"There's Thor," Loki said, not far from where Rogers was; Thor stood, fighting off the robots with ease, which wasn't surprising to the three on the ship that knew him well. As they watched, Ultron flew in, grabbed Thor, and flew off with him.
"He stole Thor," Saphira said, frowning deeply.
"Sister, I need to borrow your husband for a moment," Enid said; Saphira nodded, knowing what she wanted.
"See you down there, darling." Loki turned to Saphira, kissed her on the cheek, then reached his hand out for Enid to take; seconds later, they both disappeared in a swirl of green magic, then reappeared behind Ultron, who was now chocking Thor.
Enid stepped forward, held out her hands, and then spared them apart; as she did so, Ultron broke in half, with tiny pieces flying everywhere, and Thor fell to his knees, all around them, the remainder of the robots laughed.
"It won't be that easy to beat me." Ultron's voice came out of them.
Thor stood up; they looked at one another a moment before she ran towards him and hugged him.
"Thor, I'm so so sorry," Enid told him.
"You have nothing to be sorry about," Thor told her as he pulled away. "You were under mind control; your actions were not your own." He pulled Enid back into his arms and held her.
"I know, but still, I feel terrible," Enid told him, then they let go of each other, Thor looked towards Loki.
"Brother, " Thor nodded a greeting to Loki, who looked a little too amused by Thor almost being choked out by Ultron.
Now that the extra help was there, maybe they had a chance at winning this battle, taking out Ultron and his many selves, save the people of Sokovia and stop it from crashing onto Earth. The problem, the Avengers didn't trust the ones that showed up to help them, except for Enid and possibly Kurt Wagner, who was right now using his teleportation to get as many civilians on the spaceship as he could.
Remy LeBeau was now on the ground taking out those that got too close to him with his staff and using his powers to blow them up; Saphira, who was fighting alongside him, would use her gravity ability to pull them down to the ground, where Remy would then take his staff and take their heads off, or knock them on the ground and use the end of his staff to crush their heads. Sometimes Saphira would do that thing where she caught fire to Remy's cards before he threw them.
"How many of these damn things are they," Saphira demanded; stopping for a moment, she didn't wait for an answer as she got back into the fight.
On his way towards where Saphira was fighting with Remy, Loki passed Steve Rogers fighting one of the robots, so he held out his hand and froze it; Rogers finished it off by taking its head off with his shield, then looked up surprised.
"Loki!" Rogers said; Loki gave a little wave as he continued his way to Saphira and LeBeau. For once, his daggers were of no use in this fight, and he had to use his magic and trickery to fight the enemy. When Loki made it to Saphira and Remy, taking out the robots became somewhat of a game between the three of them, a who could take out the most drones in the flashiest way kind of thing.
Loki smiled at Saphira and thrust out his hand, and three robots froze in mid-air; then, with a flick of his other hand, the robots shattered; he turned back to her and motioned towards more as if challenging her.
Saphira grinned, looked around a moment, then got an idea and took off running towards Steve Rogers. As he held out his shield about to throw it, Saphira jumped up on it, startling him; she then used it as a springboard, flew through the air, grabbed the neck of a robot, and as she swung around, she kicked the heads off two more, then made it back to the front of the robot. As she brought herself down to the ground, she pulled it down with her, slamming the robot's head onto the concert, breaking it off as she did so; Saphira then let go of it and jumped back up.
Loki clapped as Saphira took a bow; Thor walked up out of nowhere and glared at Loki.
"Stop playing around," Thor demanded. "This is not a game."
"We are taking them out, Thor," Loki replied. Thor said nothing as he kept walking.
"Your brother is a bit of a stick in the mud, no?" Remy asked, walking up next to him, then turned and took the head off a robot with his staff, then turned the other way real fast, knocked the feet out from under another one, before bringing his staff down, crushing its head with it. Then turned back to Loki.
"He's spent too much time on Midgard," Loki replied, answering Remy's question; he said nothing in reply, just reached down and picked up the head he had knocked off the first robot; Loki watched as Remy made it glow, then tossed it towards a group of them, it exploded when it reached the middle blowing them all up.
"I do not like you, but I admit that ability has its uses," Loki said. Remy grinned.
"Was that a compliment?" Remy demanded.
"No," Loki replied, then waved his hand and blasted away a robot that was coming towards them.
Loki wasn't paying that much attention to either of them; instead, he was enjoying watching Saphira fight, taking out any robot that came near her; she looked to be having fun. Loki thought about what Enid had said a while back, and she had a point, Saphira didn't use to like battles; yeah, she was in a lot of them with them, but Saphira enjoyed winning in competitions and games, on Asgard when Bard pushed her and Enid to be warriors all Saphira wanted, was to be an actress and star in plays for the royal theater, now that part of her seemed to have changed, having to fight a lot lately, Loki didn't know if Saphira has gotten used to it or if his wife was starting to like it, all he knew is he was watching Saphira become the warrior her father thought she never would be, and the warrior Loki always knew she was.
"What is this break time?" Rogers demanded, coming up to the two men. "You're supposed to be fighting, not talking."
"I am fighting," Remy answered; taking a robot out, Rogers turned to Loki.
"I'm watching," Loki replied; Rogers frowned and looked to see what Loki was looking at in time to see Saphira flip a robot over her shoulder, then throw her hand out behind her, and a vine wrapped around the neck of another one; she then jerked her arm forward, the vine followed hard enough to rip the robot's head off.
"You're supposed to be helping." Rogers said, "The only reason we haven't..."
Rogers was cut off when Loki held out his hand and shot out a big blast of magic; it hit the robots floating to the left of them, blowing them apart. Loki then turned back to him.
"You're a super soldier, are you not?" Loki replied, "You shouldn't need our help; you should be able to beat the robots yourselves."
Loki took a stepped forward, then suddenly turned around and faced Rogers and smirked.
"Just put some of those muscles into it, sweetheart." Loki winked at him, and Rogers groaned when Loki suddenly turned into him and started flexing his now muscular arms.
"Loki, this isn't the time for this," Rogers told him; behind him, Remy was having a hard time trying not to laugh.
"Oh, come on, Cap, " Loki mocked, his voice even sounded like Roger's. "Have a sense of humor." He grinned. "Though the costumes a bit much; it's so tight." He pulled on the front of it.
Roger threw his shield at Loki out of annoyance, only for Loki to catch it, then toss it without even looking, taking out four robots in a roll; the shield came back to him. Loki then threw it in the direction Rogers was standing; he ducked in time as the shield went over his head and took out two more; on its way back to Loki, Rogers snatched it out of the air.
"Stop fooling around," Rogers demanded, "And change back now."
"No, I think I like myself like this." Loki replied, "I can feel the righteousness surging."
"Umm, Loki." Rogers tried to warn him of a robot coming behind him, but he didn't listen, too busy mocking Rogers.
"Hey, you want to have a rousing discussion about truth, honor, patriotism?" Loki asked.
"I don't talk like that, and you might want to..." Rogers tried, but Loki cut him off again, holding out his arms and shouting.
"God bless Amer..." Now Loki was cut off when the robot Rogers was trying to warn him about reached its arm around Loki's neck, lifted him off the ground, and begun to choke him, but thankfully it only had him for a second, then Thor's hammer knocked its head off, and Loki fell to the ground.
"I tried to warn you," Rogers said, an amused look on his face, as he walked by and patted Loki on the back, the God of Mischief was back to looking like himself, and he glared at Rogers as he passed.
"Are you done playing, brother?" Thor demanded, holding his hand down to pull Loki to his feet; he nodded towards where Saphira was fighting; Enid had joined her. "Let's go help our ladies."
"Behind you, sister." Saphira cried out as a robot came towards Enid from behind but was stopped by the gravity suddenly becoming strong under it, and it slammed down onto the ground and broke apart.
"Thanks," Enid said, "duck."
Saphira ducked down as Enid stopped a robot coming towards her, then used her mind to tear it apart, metal, screws, and wires going everywhere, then moved on to the next robot and did the same.
"This feels nice," Saphira said, walking up to Enid, "Us fighting on the same side again; last time we were in a battle, we were on the opposite side. It's nice to be on the same side again."
"Yes, until the next time you and Loki decides to try and take over one of the realms," Enid replied; she waved her hand and sent a robot flying away. Saphira just shrugged; Enid had a point; there was a possibility she and Loki would try and do that again, just not any time soon.
"Aww, Enid, you hurt my feelings," Loki said; the sisters turned behind them to see Loki and Thor walking up to them.
"Good," Enid replied, smiling slightly.
The four of them looked at each other then grinned; fighting together would be a lot like the old days back on Asgard. And as robots surrounded them, they immediately got in their old fighting formation by getting into a circle, their backs to each other, facing the opponents, as if those days had never ended.
Thor took the first hit, tossing Mjolnir at the robot closest to him; it knocked it back, then the other three followed his lead; as they ran into the midst of the enemy, Loki used both his freezing ability and magic to take out the ones that came after him, Saphira was taking two at a time out by wrapping a vine around one, and pulling it down, while using her gravity manipulation to take out another, after a while, she abandoned the vines, then went to pull them to the ground with her gravity ability.
Enid gave using her telekinesis a rest and turned to use magic; she even got a few robots to fight themselves with an enchantment. She turned to Thor, who was using Mjolnir and lightning to fight; he looked towards her, smiled, and held out his arms; Enid grinned and took off running to him, the moment she reached Thor, he grabbed her waist and tossed her behind him, Enid flew through the air and tackled one of the robots to the ground, then ripped its head off.
Enid stood as she laughed a little; yeah, that move didn't fit with the battle they were in now, but she and Thor used to perform moves like that all the time when they were younger, the looks on their opponents face when Thor used Enid as a weapon and threw her at them was hilarious. He and Loki had a similar move they used to do, where Loki would pretend to be hurt, and Thor would throw him at the enemy. But with her, it was a little different, as there was no acting injured, just Thor grabbing Enid and throwing her at whoever they were fighting.
"Well, that was fun," Loki replied as he took out the last of the drones that had surrounded them. He frowned when Saphira stumbled a little and reached out and put his hand on her back. "You alright, love?"
"Yeah, I'm fine, don't worry," Saphira said. Enid walked over to her.
"Sister?" Enid asked, "Are you sure?"
"Yes, I just need a minute; I'll be fine," Saphira replied. Then she frowned, "The Time Stone, it's reaching out to me. I'm pretty sure it's, it's in New York."
"Again?" Enid demanded; Saphira nodded, "Another of those damn stones is on Midgard. And again in New York?"
"I don't know where in New York though, it's not being used," Saphira replied.
"We'll worry about it after we leave here, darling," Loki told her. "When we get to New York, you should know right where to go." He put his arm around Saphira and pulled her to him; Thor walked over and looked closely at her.
"She looks awful," Thor commented; Saphira glared at him, then pushed him away from her.
"Loki, stab Thor," Saphira told him. Loki made a dagger appear in his hand, only for it to be snatched away by Enid.
"No stabbing anyone, especially Thor." She told him, sticking the dagger into the pocket of the hoodie she had on.
Then Thor was told over his headset to come to the destroyed church by Stark, so the four of them were heading that way. By the time they got there everyone, but Steve Rogers was there, but he arrived soon after.
"What is it?" Rogers demanded, running up.
"That's it there," Stark replied, putting at a weird circle device sitting in the middle of the room. "If Ultron gets his hands on that core, we lose."
"I thought you were already losing," Saphira commented; they all glared at her, she just shrugged. "That's why you begged for our help."
"Nobody begged for anything, at least of all not from you two," Barton told her.
"And here I thought we were friends, Barty." Saphira teased, Barton's jaw clenched, then he made a move as if he was heading towards her, but Romanoff grabbed his arm as Loki stepped in front of Saphira, a dagger appearing in his hand.
"Go ahead, Barton." Loki warned, "I have been itching for a reason to use one of my daggers all day."
"I said no stabbing," Enid replied, reaching over and taking that dagger too and putting it in her pocket with the other one.
"Stop, both of you," Rogers demanded. "We won't beat Ultron fighting each other; wait until after we won if you want to take each other's heads off, do it then."
"Wow, Cap, didn't think I would hear something like that from you," Stark replied. "Though when this is all over, we might want to have a talk with Thor about who calls in to help."
"Like you had any other options left, Tin-Man," Saphira said, glaring at him.
Before anyone could say anything else, Ultron showed up; Thor stepped forward, gripping Mjolnir in his hand.
"Is that the best you can do?" Thor demanded, then hundreds, possibly close to a thousand robots flew in from every direction.
"You had to ask," Rogers replied.
"Thor, you always did have a big mouth," Saphira told him.
"This is the best I can do," Ultron announced. "This is what I wanted. All of you, against all of me. How could you possibly hope to stop me?"
"Well, as the old man said." Stark replied, "Together."
Loki and Saphira looked at each other and rolled their eyes. "Stark should start his own novelty t-shirt business. " Saphira mumbled, making Loki laugh. Then he stepped forward and addressed Ultron.
"From one villain to another, you're going to lose." Loki said, "Because you're making a mistake all us villains seem to make."
"Is that so?" Ultron asked. "I am not like you or any other villain; I'm better, and in fact, I'm not a villain, I'm the hero, and once..." He was cut off when Thor tossed Mjolnir at him, knocking him out of sight.
That started the fight with the surrounding robots; like earlier, Loki seemed to have no problem as he was blasting them apart with his magic or freezing them; which was causing the air to become colder around him, along with ice forming on stuff around him, and the ground under his feet.
Saphira used her abilities, as did Remy; they were fighting alongside Loki, one on each side of him. Enid was standing not far from them, using her telekinesis to rip the robots apart and enactments to get them to take each other apart, and Rogers was throwing his shield and jumping on them, as was Barton and Romanoff; Thor joined Stark and Vision in fighting Ultron, who had showed back up ten minutes after they started fighting.
After a while, the robots thinned out a little, so they stopped to catch their breaths, and Rogers looked around at them.
"We gotta get out of here. Even I can tell the air is getting thin. You guys get to Loki's spaceship. I'll sweep for stragglers and be right behind you."
"What about the core?" Enid demanded as she watched Stark take off flying, Ultron following him, then the Vision followed after them both.
"I'll stay and protect it, no." Remy volunteered.
"If you're staying, then I am," Saphira said.
"No, you are not," Loki told her; she frowned at him. "Fine, I'll stay with you. I'll never hear the end of it if that idiot gets himself killed."
"If my sister is staying, so am I," Enid replied; Thor turned to them as he caught Mjolnir in his hand.
"As well I," Thor said, "I'm not leaving my family behind."
"Sentiments," Loki mumbled, making a face. "I think I'm going to be sick."
"This coming from a guy who is very sentimental about my sister." Enid rolled her eyes, Loki glared at her.
After a little more conversation, Romanoff and Barton took off to the spaceship, promising to watch out for civilians on their way; Rogers took off to look for any left behind, declaring he wasn't getting on the ship until he knew everyone was off the ground. Not long after those three ran off, Stark landed in front of Enid.
"Friday says the power levels are well, it's not good," Stark told them, "We are planning to re-route everything; I have an idea. We got only one shot at this, Enid; I could use your help."
"No way." Saphira said, "No way in hel is my sister going anywhere with you after you caused all this to begin with."
"Sister, enough," Enid demanded, then looked at Thor, then back at Stark, then agreed to help; Saphira told her not to get herself killed before Stark took off with her, then they went back to fighting the robots.
"Brother, " Loki said, walking over to Thor, "There is an easier way to take these things out." Thor tossed down a robot he just crushed and turned to Loki.
"How?" Thor demanded. Loki nodded to Mjolnir.
"With a lightning blast," Loki said; Thor frown at him.
"One blast isn't going to kill them all, Loki," Thor told him.
"More than one can; you just need a little more power." Loki held out his hand, and Thor watched as a long weird-looking hammer appeared in it; he could feel massive amounts of power coming from it.
"Where did you get this?" Thor demanded as he sat Mjolnir down and took the hammer from Loki's hands.
"LeBeau stole it from the Nova Crops on Xander after we fought a guy for it." Loki replied, "Be careful with it; it has the Power Stone in it."
"Okay, stand back," Thor ordered, walking forward; Loki moved back, grabbing Remy's arm and pulling him back towards Saphira, where Loki covered her, as they all watched Thor.
Thor held up the hammer, purplish-black storm clouds gathered around, as purple lightning lit up the sky; Thor then came down with the hammer and struck the ground dozens of purple lighting blots came down and hit the robots; there was a moment of them going crazy, electricity zapping all around them, then it stopped, and the robots all fell to the ground at once, fried and unmoving.
"I like this hammer." Thor turned back to Loki and grinned. His only response was to roll his eyes before taking the hammer back from Thor. Then Ultron was back.
"You think you're saving anyone?" Ultron demanded. "I turn that key, and it's still billions dead. Even you can't..." He paused as Remy had enough and tossed his staff at him; it went through Ultron's chest and got stuck there. Ultron only laughed and looked at him.
"I'm not human, boy; it'll take more then..." He didn't get to finish as the staff exploded, blowing Ultron apart. The other three turned to look at Remy.
"He talked too much...no?" Remy shrugged.
"See, that is what I was trying to tell him," Loki replied. "We lose because we talk too much."
Thor looked at Loki for a moment, then started laughing, and he didn't seem to be able to stop himself, which caused Remy to start laughing; Saphira and Loki just stood there looking at them as if they had lost their minds.
Meanwhile, under the flying Sokovia, Vision had joined Enid and Tony Stark in holding it up; Enid didn't have flying abilities, but she was holding herself up with telekinesis, and along with it and her God-like strength, she was helping hold up part of Midgard. She had to admit Stark's plan wasn't bad; they just needed someone who could handle that much energy, and thankfully they brought just the guy with them, so, after using Visions borrowed headset and asked Thor to let her talk to Remy LeBeau, she explained everything to him, and he agreed to the plan.
Once Stark told him to go ahead, Remy was to take the energy in the core and use his mutant ability to convert it into kinetic energy, then touch the ground with it and blow up Sokovia so it wouldn't crash back down onto Earth, killing billions of people, it was dangerous, and Enid was pretty sure Saphira wouldn't like the idea of her best friend putting himself in that much danger especially when the ideas came from Tony Stark. Still, they saw no other way.
"Alright, Gambit, " Stark said, through his headset, "Get ready on my say, okay."
"You are the one who created me?" Vision asked Enid, who frowned at him.
"Not really." Enid replied, "I just..."
"Made it possible to bring me to life." Vision answered.
"This isn't exactly the time to talk about this," Enid told him. It was getting harder to hold up the country, and she had no idea why Stark was taking so long in telling Remy to go ahead and blow it up.
"Yes, I know, but you put the stone in my head and programed me; Thor gave me life." Vision replied, "In a way, that makes you two my parents."
"I'm pretty sure it doesn't," Enid answered while Stark laughed.
"Vision take mom back up to dad; I got it from here," Stark replied. Enid glared at him.
"Are you sure?" Enid asked her to look softening.
"Yeah, nothing left now, but to blow it up," Stark replied; Vision carefully let go of the planet, came over and picked Enid up, and took off towards the spaceship with her.
Back on top of Sokovia, Loki had teleported Saphira onto the spaceship, while Thor stayed behind to fly Remy up there when he was done; at the moment, the god of thunder was standing in front of Remy staring in surprise as the Midgardain mutant's hands glowed as he absorbed all the energy inside the core, then Remy turned to Thor.
"You may want to stand on something, mon ami," Remy told him before getting back down on his knees and laid both hands on the ground; Thor jumped up on a rock and watched as the glow began to leave Remy's hands and the ground started to light up.
After a long moment, Remy stood and stumbled over to Thor; he frowned at him with a bit of concern as he reached out and tossed the X-MAN over his shoulder and took to the sky with him just seconds before Sokovia blew up.
Saphira stood on the ship at the open door, in between Loki and Enid, holding both her sister's and husband's hands tightly, as the three of them watched Sokovia blow up, making the ship shake a little; they only had to worry for a moment until they saw Thor flying towards them carrying Remy, they moved out of his way so he could come abroad, he sat Remy on the floor up against the wall. Saphira immediately sat next to him and started checking him over.
"I'm fine, Soeur," Remy assured her, "Ole Remy just overdid it, but he'll be back to himself in no time. Just give me a moment and maybe a nap."
A few hours later, most everyone who had fought down on Sokovia was in the game room of the ship, hanging out, trying to avoid the crowded corridors, all but Barton and Romanoff, who decided to stay with and help the Sokovian refugees in a tempt to stay far from Loki and Saphira, Tony Stark, disappeared somewhere, and Steve Rogers, was upfront in the control room with Kurt and Mystique. As they flew the craft, he used the radio to find a place that would agree to take in the Sokovain citizens.
Thor and Remy were playing pool together, the latter of which still felt a bit tired, but after a two-hour nap and then some food, he was almost back to himself. Enid sat in a chair reading one of Loki's old Asgardain tales books; Vision stood over by Thor and Remy, watching them play pool. On the sofa snuggled up together was Loki and Saphira; both had their eyes closed, but rather or not, either of them was asleep, no one could tell.
About an hour ago, Enid had been able to talk Saphira into leaving the Mind Stone inside Vision's head, promising her that she and Thor would watch it along with Vision protecting it, at least until they found a way to get it out of Vision's head without actually killing the android, after about forty minutes, Saphira had given in and agreed, but not until after she was able to look the Mind Stone over and discovered it wanted to stay where it was for now anyway.
Saphira now knew where four out of the six stones were. She only needed the Soul and Time Stones. The latter of which Saphira would be going to New York getting once they had their spaceship to themselves again.
Mystique had told Loki she needed to have a conversation with him and Saphira that it was about something important and had nothing to do with Ultron or the Infinity Stones. Saphira thinks she may know what Mystique wanted to bring up, which was how Saphira had been feeling lately and not being told about it. As Saphira thought more about her weird symptoms recently, she started to get this feeling that Loki's wish to have their own family in the future might be starting sooner than they planned.
Another thirty minutes passed when Rogers came into the room to announce he finally found a place that agreed to take the refugees and that Mystique was flying there now, then dropping all of them off in New York, which was good; that's where Saphira needed to go.
"Did you call Fury?" Tony asked, walking into the room; he had taken off the Iron Man suit.
"Fury?" Rogers asked, confused.
"Yeah, I mean, there isn't much of SHEILD left, if any, but he should still know a few agents willing to show up and arrest the three criminals we have on board," Stark replied.
"Tony," Rogers replied, "I didn't think we were having anyone arrested."
"Why not? They have escaped convicts, and two are wanted right here on Earth." Stark replied.
"Stark, " Thor put in. "Loki and his friends are planning to leave Midgard moment all of us are off their ship."
"That's not the point, though, is it?" Stark asked.
"Loki," Saphira said, opening her eyes and holding her hand out to him; Loki made a dagger appear and put the handle of it in Saphira's hand; they both stood up, and Saphira started walking towards Stark.
"Sister," Enid warned, sitting down the book and getting to her feet; she went to step forward, Loki stopped her, but Enid just used her mind to zoom the dagger out of Saphira's hand and into hers. "No stabbing goes for you too."
"I don't need it anyway," Saphira replied; she held out her hand, then closed her fingers, and as Stark talked to Rogers, he suddenly gasped for air, as if he couldn't breathe.
"Tony, you alright?" Rogers asked as Stark fell to his knees, Saphira was doing something she had never done before, and something she hadn't been aware she could do, that was using her air manipulation to pull the air right out of Stark's lungs.
"Sister, stop, " Enid demanded as Saphira walked up to Stark. Thor went to take a step towards her to find his feet frozen to the floor.
"Loki." Thor snapped, but he wasn't paying attention to Thor; he was watching Saphira; they had talked about this, and Saphira wasn't going to kill Stark like she wanted, only because Enid has had enough stress lately, so she was going to give him a warning.
"You don't know how much I want to kill you right now." Saphira said, grabbing Stark's shoulder and pushing him back, "But I'm not because my sister wishes me not to. So, you best take my warning to heart; if you ever do anything stupid and someone I care about gets hurt because of it again, your death will be by my hand; I promise you this."
Saphira let go of him, waved her hand, and the air suddenly returned to his lungs, and he coughed and whizzed as Saphira turned and stormed out of the room.
"Yeah, well: the moment we land, you and Loki are going back to prison," Stark called after her. Loki rolled his eyes and followed Saphira down the corridor and their chambers, leaving behind a room full of shocked people.
AN Well, that's the best I could come up with; as I said above, it's hard to write a battle with robots; there is a lot of moves and stuff you can't put in, like when fighting humans or something human-like beings.
I left out some of the creatures I had in earlier because it was hard to put most of them all in, so I had Mystique staying on the ship and Kurt helping with getting people on, and left Magneto, Wanda, and Quicksilver out also, thought it made sense Magneto would refuse to help after getting what he wanted earlier.
Hopefully, the next chapter does not give me as much trouble; sorry this one took me so long to write.
