Chris screamed as she held on to Hulk as they jumped off the ground and towards part of the city rising from the ground. They crashed into the trees and Chris came loose.
"This better make us even." Chris said standing up and cracking her back. "Go be the hero."
Hulk ran off and she made her way towards town.
She made it to the city happy she still had my knives. She saw the abandoned police station and ran in grabbing a gun and all the ammo she could find. Chris saw Steve fighting a bunch by himself and she ran in guns blazing.
"Looks like you could use a little help." Chris smiled at him.
"Thank God you're alive." Steve smiled back.
They continued to fight until there were no more.
"The next wave will hit any minute." Steve said to Chris. "Stark, what's the situation?"
"It's not good. I can blow the rock once you guys are clear." Tony said.
"I asked for a solution not an escape plan."
"The impact radius is growing by the second. We need to make a choice."
"Steve, if Tony can find a way to blow this rock..." Chris said looking at him.
"Not until everyone is safe."
"The lives up here versus the number of people down there. There's nothing to consider."
"I won't leave this rock with one civilian on it."
"I never said we should leave. There's worse ways to go. At least I'm here with you." Chris grabbed his hand and squeezed it.
"Well your day is about to get better." Fury said over the comms.
Chris smiled as she saw the helicarrier rise up into the sky.
"She's a little dusty, but she'll get the job done."
"Fury, you son of a bitch." Steve said.
"Wow, you kiss Chris with that mouth?" Fury joked.
"As a matter of fact he does." Chris smiled and Steve wrapped an arm around her shoulders.
"This is SHIELD?" Pietro asked as the safety ships came out of the helicarrier.
"What it's supposed to be." Steve answered.
"Not so bad."
"Let's get them loaded up." Steve said and they walked towards the ships helping people
They continued to load people onto ship after ship.
"Thor I have a plan." Tony said.
"We're out of time. Their beginning to converge on the core." Thor said.
"Avengers, let's get to work."
Steve and Chris ran for the church. They came through the pillars and Chris fired off rounds into the heads of the robots.
"What's the plan?" Chris asked.
"If Ultron gets his hands on the core, we lose." Tony told them.
"So just try not to let the million robots heading this way get touch the pillar."
"Yep."
"Is that the best you can do?" Thor yelled to Ultron.
Ultron was suddenly joined by thousands more.
"You had to ask." Steve sighed.
"This is what I wanted. All of you versus all of me. How do you hope to stop me?" Ultron looked too pleased with himself.
"Like Cap said, as a team." Tony said and Chris smiled at Steve.
Hulk roared and the Ultrons all charged them.
They made a circle around the core and took down any nonliving thing that came near it. Vision, Tony, and Thor were taking on the original Ultron. When Hulk sent him flying the rest tried to run.
"They're leaving the city." Chris said reloading her gun with a new mag.
"We can't let a single one go, Rhodey." Tony said.
"On it." James said.
"We need to go. The air is getting thin." Steve said.
"Really?" Chris said trying to catch her breath.
"You guys get to the boats. I'll sweep for stragglers."
"What about the core?" Clint asked.
"I'll protect it." Wanda said
Everyone left except for Chris.
"Please go to the boats."
"No, you're stuck with me remember. Let's go. Plus, you need someone to watch your back."
They searched the whole area and everyone was on.
"Thor, I need you back at the church." Tony said over the comms.
"That's the last of them." Chris said to Thor and Steve.
"If this works, there's a high chance we don't walk away."
"There's always a chance we don't walk away." Chris said to Tony while looking at Steve.
Then shots were raining down on Them. Steve grabbed Chris and held her under him while he held his shield above them.
Steve got up and looked down at Chris.
"Chris, you're hit."
She looked down and sure enough her abdomen was becoming darker. She placed her hand on it and it came away red.
"Ow." Chris said with a small groan.
Chris looked over to see Clint crouching by Pietro.
"Go help them. I'll be okay." She said placing her other hand on his face and wiping away his tears.
Steve helped carry Pietro to the ship then came back for her. He laid her down on the ground and that was when she blacked out.
Chris woke up in a hospital bed with Steve sitting right next to her. He was asleep with his head resting on the bed she was in.
Chris placed a hand on his and he slowly woke up.
"Hey." He said in his sexy I just woke up voice.
"Hey. I see we aren't dead."
"Tony and Thor blew up the city."
"Are they-?"
"They're alive. Wandering around here somewhere."
"Pietro?"
"Ultron killed him."
"Everyone else?"
"Accounted for. Except for Hulk. He took off in the jet and we haven't seen him since."
"He always thought he was putting everyone in danger."
"Well, you aren't and that's all that matters to me." Steve said kissing the back of her hand.
"You're looking rather well." Fury said walking in.
"What even happened to me?"
"Just one bullet through the abdomen as Steve pulled you out of the way of the gun. Nothing Dr. Cho couldn't fix."
"Good to know she's okay."
"I'll let you two be. Hey, I want an invite to that wedding too."
"Of course Fury." Chris smiled and he left.
"I love you." Steve said squeezing her hand.
"I love you too." Chris smiled.
"I've got to go talk to Thor and Tony."
"Okay."
Steve stood up and kissed her forehead.
Chris looked around and saw her uniform sitting on the bench next to her. She stood up and stretched out her sore muscles before slipping into the comfortable material. She opened the door and walked out. Chris had never been here before, but after a little wandering around she found Tash staring at a wall.
"Is there some sort of picture I just can't see?" Chris asked and Tash turned with a smile.
"Who authorized you to get out of bed?" She asked hugging her.
"The only one able to. Me." Chris said and stared at the wall with her. "Steve told me about Bruce. He's an idiot."
"Yeah."
"We tend to fall for the idiots."
Tash just laughed and Chris heard Steve scoff behind her.
"Says the one who's supposed to be in bed." Steve said.
"I feel fine."
"So are we gonna get to work then?"
"What do we have, Captain?" Chris asked.
"We've got some hitters." Steve said handing them a tablet to share.
"They look good." Tash said.
"They're not a team."
"We'll beat them into shape." Chris smiled.
They walked into a room with War Machine, Falcon, Vision, and Wanda.
"Hey, before we get too dedicated to this there's something we need to take care of." Tash said.
"And that is?" Steve asked.
"I believe you promised this lady a wedding."
"That I did."
