Chapter 3: INCOMING!
DISCLAIMER: I DON'T OWN ULTIMATE SPIDER-MAN OR IRON MAN ARMORED ADVENTURES. BOTH OF THEM BELONG TO MARVEL.
Tasha's POV
I went up to my room to drop off my backpack. I looked on my bed and I saw my textbooks there. 'Thank God for Stephanie.' I took them off the bed and put them onto my desk. I then laid down on my bed, clothes still on, on top of the covers, looking at my S.H.I.E.L.D. poster. My mum never got into the S.H.I.E.L.D. business as an agent but she found work somewhere else. Being my dad's assistant and eventual wife. I must have dozed for only a few minutes because White Tigress was shaking me. But her mask wasn't on.
"Where's your mask?"
"No time for that! Something's going to crash into your room and it ain't Captain Buckethead!" I looked out the window and it was dark, must be night time. But I could see a glowing pinprick of light getting larger and larger.
"COME ON!" White Tigress started to pull me to my feet. I was frozen to the spot. She kept tugging me and I managed to move just enough to get my backpack.
"Why do you need that?"
"You'll see …" we ran from the room just as the thing exploded into my room. It shook the whole house and it might have even shook it to its foundations. We ran from the house and I saw a big gaping hole where my window had been. My parents came running out, along with the other four kids, they didn't have their masks on. We all looked to where my room was.
"Honey … I'm so sorry." My mum hugged me as I just stood there, shocked. Then something walked out of the gaping hole and fell down the two stories.
"Crimson Dynamo!" Dad said. He quickly changed into his Extremis armor. He blasted off and banged into the side of Crimson Dynamo. He didn't even make a dent. He shot repulsor blasts at it. Crimson Dynamo responded by smacking dad into the side of the house. I put my backpack on and pressed the middle button. My armor quickly formed around me and I shot off the mark. No time for explanations. My armor was equipped with repulsor blasts, energy bombs, even stealth. I went into stealth mode and I changed my HUD display to thermal vision. I looked at the Crimson Dynamo and there weren't any red blobs, only one gigantic blue blob that represented Crimson Dynamo. I switched back to normal vision and fired a few energy bombs at it. It just brushed it off like it was nothing and came at me. I flew away and Crimson Dynamo started to fly as well. I cursed and flew away, straight up. I looked below me and I saw Uncle Rhodey in the War Machine armor. His face appeared on my HUD.
"Don't worry. I'm here to help." He disconnected the call and fired a few rounds at Dynamo. This time Dynamo stumbled back, but only by a little bit.
"INCOMING!" Spider-man yelled and he swung into Crimson Dynamo. I looked back to where my dad was slumped against the wall of the house and he wasn't there.
"INCOMING!" Dad yelled as he flew in with his Hulk Buster armor. He banged into the side, again, and this time he made a little bit of a dent. Iron Fist came in with a glowing fist and he hit Dynamo. Nothing happened. The only thing that can stop it was the Hulk Buster armor. Powerman kept pounding on it with everything he had. He made an even bigger dent than Hulk Buster. Just then White Tigress jumped into the fray and clawed at the machine. I saw Spider-man web up the visor area and went,
"See you get through that!" Dynamo just ripped the webbing off. I kept firing repulsor blasts at the Dynamo and he finally stumbled under our ferocious onslaught. Just then a pink blur came in. Mum's face appeared on my HUD.
"Let's do this!" We all pitched in and eventually it fell. We were all tired, but none more so than the five teens. Where was Nova?
"Has anyone seen Buckethead?" I asked. They all looked around and realised he wasn't there.
"Oh no. I'll get him." I watched Spider-man swing into the house and calling out his name.
Spider-man came back a few minutes later and shook his head.
"INCOMING!" Someone yelled. We looked above us and we all saw the same thing. Nova. He came in at speed and made a crater as he landed.
"Where's that giant robot thing?" He asked. Spider-man webbed his mouth up.
"Ahhh. Should have done that an hour ago." White Tigress took her mask off.
"My real name is Ava Ayala." Yep, that proved it. She was African-American. Nova took his bucket off of his head.
"By the way, first of all, my name is not Captain Buckethead, its Nova. Second of all, my real name is Sam Alexander. Why are we doing this?" No-one answered him. Powerman simply said,
"My name is Luke Cage. Enough said." Iron Fist took his mask off and said,
"My real name is Danny Rand."
"And mine's," Spider-man took his mask off, but reluctantly, "Peter Parker." Now we're getting somewhere. Our turn.
"You already know who Iron Man is. Do you know who Rescue is?" They shook their heads. Mum took her helmet off. They gasped. My turn. I took my helmet and off and they gasped even louder.
"I'm new. My name hero name is Scarlet and my real name is Natasha, but everyone calls me Tasha." They nodded their heads.
"I should have seen this coming." Peter said.
"Now … how are we going to fix this house?"
How are they going to do it? We'll never know because the next chapter takes place after they've rebuilt the house.
