Chapter 6:
Maria woke up to the sun coming in from the window. Natasha was curled into her neck and her whole body was wrapped around Maria's. Maria ran her hands through Natasha's hair smiling as a small moan escaped from Natasha's lips. Maria sighed taking comfort in having Natasha back in her arms.
After a few more minutes Maria began de-tangling herself from Natasha with a practiced ease before slipping out of the bedroom quietly. Walking into the living room Maria smiled as she saw Hawkeye sleeping in the recliner, Thor on the coach, Tony in the love seat, and Steve and Bruce were sleeping on the floor.
Walking into the kitchen Maria started the coffee maker hoping the smell of coffee will start rousing the adults from their sleep.
Maria then continued down the hallway peeking into both Emma and Patrick's room making sure they were still sleeping before heading to the kitchen to get her freshly brewed coffee. Pouring herself a cup Maria continued with her morning routine of drinking her coffee on the porch watching the sun rise.
Pushing the door open with her back, Maria gave one more smile at the snores coming from the men in the living room. They were kind of cute when they were all sleeping.
Finally outside Maria went to turn…
CRASH!
The coffee cup slipped from her grasp and shattered into pieces at her feet, burning her legs with the scalding coffee. Maria was frozen as she stared out into the pasture to see hundreds of robots, the Twins and in the middle…Ultron.
Even from 150 yards away Maria heard Ultron's order as if he were standing right next to her.
"Kill them," he ordered.
And with that the robots charged.
"NATASHA!" screamed Maria as she ran back into the house. She opened the closet and entering the code into the gun safe and then quickly grabbed the assault rifle and extra ammo. Rotating on her knee, using the door for cover Maria unloaded the gun just as one of Ultron's robots reached the steps.
Maria brought down 3 more robots but missed the one that was coming at her fast on her left. Maria rotated to fire but knew it would be too late. She was going to get hit.
Maria closed her eyes and braced herself for the pain but the sound of glass breaking and an almost animalistic growl forced her to open her eyes as she saw Natasha break through the dining room window and embed a knife into the side of its head.
The robot fell to the ground inches from Maria as Natasha stood over breathing deeply, a deep gash on her cheek. Their eyes met and Maria could see the fear in Natasha's eyes.
"Get the kids Natasha," said Maria unloading the gun at more of the charging robots.
Natasha went to move back into the house but was stopped as she saw robot leap over the torch and then towards Maria.
"Maria," yelled Natasha leaping over Maria's who continued firing as she placed herself in front of a robot. Natasha braced herself for the impact but the robot crumbled with a thump at her feet with an arrow in its head. Looking back into the house Natasha watched as Clint took up a position next to Maria as he began firing his arrows rapidly.
"Go Natasha," yelled Maria looking at up at her. "Go please…" she shouted before loading the gun with a new clip with a practiced ease and then resuming her firing.
"Maria…" said Natasha watching as Maria continued firing her eyes trained on the approaching robots as she skillfully placed headshots to each one within in her range.
"MOMMY!"
"Get them out of here Natasha! Go run!" yelled Maria.
"MOMMY!"
Natasha gave Maria one last look. Watching as she took down another 3 robots who were now getting within feet of the house before turning and running into the house.
Thor and Steve were running out the door as Natasha was running in. She watched as they leapt over Hawkeye and Maria and began engaging the robots in hand to hand combat.
Bruce was slipping out the back of the house no doubt about to get very angry.
Natasha turned the corner to see Emma and Patrick crying in the hallway. They were both sitting on the ground curled into balls with their heads buried into their knees with their hands over their heads.
Natasha rushed forward towards her children and dropped in front of them.
"Emma, Patrick," yelled Natasha over the sound of the gunfire and ear piercing large Hulk roar that shook the house.
"Mommy!" cried the children as they launched themselves at her.
Scooping Patrick into her arms and grabbing Emma's hand Natasha began to run to the back door. But skidded to a halt as she saw there at least 50 robots rapidly approaching her home from the back that the Hulk was currently engaged in. They were surrounded.
Natasha looked around the house in a panic. What was she going to do?
"Natasha!" yelled Tony as he ran to her.
"Where is your suit?" yelled Natasha.
"It is not in combat condition Natasha," yelled Tony. "I worked on it last night and it is barely functional."
Natasha wanted to cry out in frustration but the sound of glass breaking had Natasha turning around as 3 robots crashed in though the back windows and into the house. The Hulk roared in frustration as the robots must have slipped by him.
Throwing Patrick into Tony's arms and pushing Emma towards him. Natasha turned towards the robots in the living room.
"Find cover," yelled Natasha as Tony grabbed the kids and had them ducking under the cupboards in the kitchen strategically placing his body in front of the children shielding them from robots.
Natasha was running as soon as Tony grabbed Patrick. Leaping forward over the couch to fly into one of the robots. Natasha landed on its back and just started grabbing at any wires she could find. The robot was just starting to fall to the ground when she felt a metal hand grab her arm rip her from her position and throwing her across the room as she crashed into kitchen island only about 5 feet from where Tony and her kids were hiding.
"Mommy!" screamed Emma reaching out for her.
Natasha's eyes met the terrified look of her daughters before grunting as she pushed herself up. A rib was definitely broken but she would not let any harm come to her children. Standing up she took in her surroundings to find anything she could use a weapon. Natasha's eyes came to rest on book shelf behind the 2 robots in the living room.
Natasha's gun was on the top shelf.
Taking a deep breath and steadying herself she ran. She dodged the first robot and leapt at the second. Her hands landing on its metal shoulders as she pushed herself up and over top the robot executing a perfect flip before grabbing the book shelf. She quickly reached behind Maria's collection of antique military books to find her pistol.
Grasping the gun Natasha then back flipped off the book shelf as the robots launched at her. While falling back Natasha unloaded 2 perfect shots, each one finding their targets head instantly dropping the robots.
Natasha crashed down into a small end table crushing it under her weight. Groaning at the pain shooting her side Natasha slowly got up to see her children looking at her terrified with tears streaming down their faces.
Time seemed to slow around Natasha as she took in her surroundings. Maria and Hawkeye were still engaging the robots from the door but were quickly losing ground.
Thor and Steve were in the front yard back to back as they were completely surrounded.
In the back the Hulk had at least 15 robots clinging to his body trying to bring him down to the ground as he thrashed and roared at them.
They had about 2 minutes Natasha determined before they were completely over run. There was no escape. If only she could get the kids to the plane and they could fly…
Natasha's eyes snapped open and as the time resumed and the chaos of the battle overwhelmed her senses.
"Tony!" yelled Natasha getting Tony's attention as he looked up from the kitchen floor with her children under his arms as he tried to shield them as much as possible from the debris flying around the house.
"Can your suit fly?" yelled Natasha, sensing an attack on her back and turning to fire a round into the head of a robot that made it through the back door.
"I think so but I can't help Natasha, my weapons system is completely down and I have barely any battery life left!" yelled Tony.
Natasha brought down another 2 robots at the back door before looking to him quickly.
"I don't need you to fight," yelled Natasha, "I need you to leave!"
Tony's eyes widened at her words.
"Natasha…"
Natasha fired the last of her clip into another 2 robots before throwing the gun to the ground and taking up a fighting stance at the door.
"Please Tony," yelled Natasha taking her eyes off the door for a split second her eyes pleading with him to get her children out of here.
"Please get my babies out of here," said Natasha as she launched herself into another robot trying to come through the door.
"Go Tony! Go now!" yelled Natasha as she fought to bring the robot down.
Tony watched helplessly as Natasha fought relentlessly against the army of robots trying to get into the house.
"Mommy! Mommy!" screamed Patrick watching his mother quickly becoming overcome with the horde of robots.
The screams coming from the little boy's mouth seemed to snap Tony into action. Standing up and bring his arm up Tony signaled for his suit and a few seconds later each piece started flying into the house attaching themselves to Tony and a few seconds later his suit was on and running.
Bringing his hand up and sacrificing 2% of his very low battery Tony blew a hole through the roof.
Tony grabbed both Patrick and Emma into his arms before looking around the demolished home one more time. Maria and Hawkeye's weapons were on ground completely out of ammo and they were shoulder to shoulder engaging the robots in hand to hand contact trying to keep them from the home.
Steve was on the front lawn with 6 robots on top of him as Thor was fighting to get to him.
In the back yard the Hulk was being forced to the ground by 30 robots on his back.
Natasha was on her back kicking and swinging at the anything came close her, her left arm was cradled to her chest and was dangling at a weird angle indicating to anyone with eyes that it was broken badly.
Closing his eyes Tony and tightened his grip on the crying children and then flew through the hole.
The sound of Emma and Patrick screaming for their mothers could be heard over the sound his boosters as he flew them away from their destroyed home.
So what do you think? I have never really written an action scene before so this was a new experience for me. Hopefully you enjoyed it! Please Review!
