Chapter 6

Both Captain America and Iron man walked carefully onto the roof. Tony was scanning everywhere as he walked around while Steve held his shield tightly to himself. He kept himself vigilant and alert looking around for an attack that never came.

"You do realise if I wanted you both dead neither one of you have the ability to stop me, right?" They both turned to the voice and where insterletly blinded by the sun. Steve raised his hand to block the light, so he could make out the women that floated just above them. Her back was to them, her eyes where closed she had her head turned slightly to one slide. She just sort of floated there soaking up the sunlight without a care in the world. "Ahh, nothing like a bit of sunlight to charge you up." Slowly flouting down, she landed on the roof infrount of them turning around she slowly opened her eyes. "Let's start with introductions yes. My name is The Marvels Spider-women aka May Parker and I have come back in time to change the events of the past to make the future a lot brighter."

"So, what do you want with us?" Captain America asked as he straighten up in a more relaxed stance.

"I want your help. You see every major confrontation that has happened in the last ten of your years and in my entire life has had some sort of collection of ether the Avengers, Fantastic four or X-men in the battle sometimes even all of them and what I am about to tell you about is one major battle. I want you to help me stop the world from basically ending for everyone on this planet. I guess the best question is are you up for a little pre-emtive strike?"

"So, who do you need us to fight and why?"

"Great I was hoping I wouldn't have to do this allow. If my brother had made the trip we would have more details but…" She hangs her head for a second while she reminded herself that this was not the time for this. "Let's not go down the road of If. Now by our calculations there should have been or just about to be a meteor crash," the word meteor she effective using her fingers as quotation marks, "somewhere in the Sahara Desert."

"Yeah I hear about that on the news it was two days ago why?"

"Well if you get in touch with SWORD you will find out that was no meteorite they picked up something else on their sensors but unfortunately when they got to the crash site there was nothing there. You see if they had checked a little closer they would have found the remains of an old Sentinel base and this is what the rock fell on. Now the Sentinel's have what crashed and what crashed was an advised scouting ship from a race of beings that call themselves the Race."

This sparked Tony's attention, "The Race as in the tecno-organic life form that is slowly going around the galaxy wiping out or making alliances with every major sentient race."

"I can't tell you about that, but I can tell you that the Sentinel's study the remains of what they find and then incorporate what they discover into their own bodies. This then leads them to make a new army that they then use to attack the X-men and every other major mutant group in the world." She walked over to the wall of the stairs that lead to the roof once there she made herself comftable on it. "I was about sixteen when they attacked the Jean Gray School. I was there when they attacked so many mutates died that day. It was something that the future mutate population would morn over like Genosha for the rest of time. We lost most of the major cities in the contrary in the coming battles. But we rallied behind the Avenger as the new leaders of every group. No longer where we the Fantastic Four or even any of the X-men groups we were all Avengers. We lost a lot of good people on that day, but we won, and it became known as the Battle of New York for that was where the leader of the Sentinel's where. Bastion was destroyed for the last time that day. It was one of the few battles my brother fort in and surprised everyone when it was him that took the bastard down. If only that was the end of it, we would have been able to recover and carry on. The rest of the world rallied behind us and because of that the world grow closer together and a lot of the problems where ended that day." Letting out another sigh she kept going. "But it wasn't the end one year later the Race arrived and starting in every major city around the world they started to wipe us all out. It didn't matter if you were a mutate, vampire, inhuman, human or even lived under the sea they killed all of us. Only animals where safe from the killing. They had no interest in our pets or any wild life. Matter of fact they started to pull down the cities and turn them back into wilderness. They have no interest in our planet they just trying to wipe us out. They won, they pushed us back until the only place we had left was in the savage lands and from there we escaped to the stars to start all over again."

"Good story a real tragedy. They should make a movie." Tony started, "Now what does that have to do with us?"

"If we can stop the Sentinel's then hopefully we can stop all of the rest from happening. That's where you come in. As strong as I am I can't take on an entire army of Sentinel's on my own."

"So why come to us why not go to the X-men? They have more experience with Sentinel's then we do."

"I may have got my schooling form the X-men but I am an Avenger and we always go to our own first. Also, the Sentinel's have mutate sensing tec if one of them gets too close to the base they will pick up their presents and lock down their base. So, if we can get some none mutated powered Avengers into the base. They can find not only the remains of the Race craft but also construction factories they are making the new Sentinel's and destroy them before they can pose any real threat to the world."

Captain America took a few steps to one side, "Wolverine its Captain America come in."

"Cap."

"How soon can you put together a small team of X-men and get them here?"

"Give me one hour. Why?"

Spider-women tried to cut in, but he just raised his hand to stop her. "I'll explain when you get back you have one hour. JARVIS call all active Avengers tell them they have one hour to get to the HQ we have a mission."

One hour later everyone had gathered around the missions' room. Wolverine had returned, and he had managed to bring Iceman, Magma, Storm, Blink and Marvel Girl. The Avengers present where Captain Marvel, Spider-man, Hulk, Thor, both Spider-women, Black Widow, Hawkeye, Ironman and Captain America.

"Thank you all for coming on such short notice. I have not called you here for no reason. No, I have called you here so that we can save everyone. Soon we will all depart for a Sentinel base out in the Navarnda Desert."

"Cool do you record we will have time to drop by Vagus for a few rounds?" Ice man cut in causing Magma to chuckle.

"No son what we are going to do is a little more important then trowing some dice." Walking over to May he held his hand out to her. "This is Spider-woman from the future she has come back in time with information about how we can stop an enemy from killing everyone and destroying all we have fought so hard to protect." Dropping his hand, he turned back to the accumulated hero's. "Now I know this could be hard to believe- "

"Not really," Marvel Girl cut in. "I don't know if you realise but I'm from the future of a parrell universe myself. Just about all of us X-men have had to deal with time travel in some way shape or form during out time."

"I've jumped into totally different dement ions, been cloned died at least once that I know of and you think this would be hard to believe?" Spider-man cut in.

"Not to mention the God of Thunder and the big green gamma bomb over yonder." Iceman pointed out.

"Ok point taken." Captain America sighed, "but to put us back on topic. We are going to hit a Sentinel base and we have two objectives and to do that we are going to split into four teams. Team one will consist of Spider-man, Captain Marvel and future Spider-woman your job will be to infiltrate the base and to locate any and all Race technology."

"I had two items with me when I came back. One of them was a scanner about the size of a remote if I could have that back we could scan the base come up with a map of the building and it will also flag all Race tec for us to destroy. The other was a sphere with two hand prints on it. If this mission succeeds this needs to go to Rachel over there and Franklin Richards when they put their hands on those prints It will unlock then. Don't ask me what's inside my commanding officers didn't tell me."

"Who were your commanding officers? Who set all of this up?" Captain Marvel.

"Sorry can't answer that. Don't want to change that part of the timeline. It's bad enough you two have found out who I really am."

"Oh, and why is that?" Magma asked.

"Think of it this way. If I told you in a few years you and say Bobby over there would be married and with a child on the way. What do you think might happen?"

"I ahh," Magma just looked dumbfounded.

"Don't know do you. That is what I'm talking about. If my parents over here found out about my existence and it drove them apart over the fear of not having any freedom in their choices…" she stopped for a minute and shook her head. "Then I might not even exist."

"And then everything you are trying to do here wouldn't happen." Ironman finished. "Ok new rule for everyone here while we have this visitor. No asking about what happens in the future."

"Right now, if that is out of the way back to the plan." Once more Captain America continued, "team two will be Widow, Hawkeye and our Spiderwoman your job will be to get in locate where they are building the new Sentinel's and blow it up. You will go in with team one, so you can both get a map of the place but once you are in separate and hit your two different objectives." Turning to the X-men he continued. "Team three will consist of all the X-men. You will be diversion. Once the first two teams are in you will move in and trigger the alarms. We know from Spiderwoman that they can pick up on any mutant in the area, so we are sending you in to trigger that and with any luck empty out the base of any resistance that could stop the teams inside the base. That is where Team four comes in. That is the rest of us Avengers. Once they have engaged the enemy and it looks like they have committed most of their forces we will move in. With the combined strength of both the X-men and the Avengers we should be able to hold the line until they finish their jobs inside the base and pull out."

"Then we can blow the base, enjoy the fireworks and all be home, healed and rested in time for the party this Friday."

"Party? What party?" Iceman asked.

"That would-be Spider-man and Captain Marvel's engagement party." Ironman said, "and you are all invited."

"Right everyone let's move out."
