Before I have time to react, to even think, I am knocked into the wall. Everything seems to blow up and crumble around us.
Rubble and broken glass cover me; pain radiates through my body as my recent wounds reopen.
"Fuck," I swear and hold my head. The world is spinning and my ears are ringing.
Managing to open my eyes and sit up I find Tony and Maya knocked on their asses.
"Allie?" I cough out.
A loud cracking sound makes me jerk and look up, the ceiling is about to cave over Tony.
Just as it falls the Iron Man suit appears above him and takes the brunt.
The face plate slides up to reveal Allie in the suit, protected from the fall.
"I got you," she murmurs.
"I got you first," he counters and I frown. He ruined a nice moment. "Like I said, we can't stay here."
"I'll see you in hell Stark," I grumble and push myself up. My limbs complain at the movement but I persist. "You have to go! They will shoot again!"
Allie nods and starts ushering Tony out as the mansion falls to pieces around us. While they do I close my eyes and attempt to call upon the ocean water just outside the mansion.
The helicopters starts shooting at the house and the floors begin to fall away.
"Move! I'm right behind!" Tony urges.
As they run to get out, the floor in front of Tony collapses; Allie manages to get on the other side.
"Get Gabie and Maya, I'm gonna find a way around!" Tony yells but Allie hesitates. "Stop stopping! Get them, get outside! Go!"
Allie jumps into action and quickly lumbers over to Maya, who she picks up bridal style with ease.
She turns to me but I hold my hand up.
"Go! I'm going to drown these bitches," I say and Allie nods. She then clunks from the premises with Maya in her metal arms.
Dust and smoke burn my lungs and eyes all the while they keep firing on us.
"Oh my God. Tony!" I hear Allie scream as more chunks fall away. Tony is barely keeping on his feet, jumping from place to place in an attempt to keep from falling.
"Sir, Miss Hollden is clear of the structure."
Bracing myself against the wall I let myself sigh in relief.
Tony motions for the return of the Iron Man suit and soon pieces attach to him. I imagine Allie is tripping and falling as they rip away from her.
"Jarvis, where's my flight power?! Gabie where's your power?!" Tony exclaims and I wince.
"I have been in two explosion in the space of two days! Give me a minute will you!" I snap back and attempt to summon water from the sea.
"Working on it, sir. This is a prototype," Jarvis replies.
"We don't have a minute guys!" Tony points out but manages to shoot down one of the helicopters. "That's one," Tony grunts.
The broken house has opened us to the sky so I can finally see my targets.
Holding up my shaking hand I force a connection to the water and yank it upwards. It takes a great effort but I manage to cover one of the copters completely with water and pull it back down into the ocean.
"That's two!" I call.
"Sir, the suit is not combat-ready," Jarvis warns as Tony attempts to shoot at the third helicopter.
Tony manages to get away from the bullets being fired at him from one of the remaining helicopters. He pulls a small grenade from his suit armory, throws it into the air, and shoots it making it detonate and destroy a third attacker.
"That's three."
As the helicopter explodes it crashes into the house, the remaining helicopter continues on shooting at the house and it rocks dangerously.
"Stark we're going down!" I cry as the structure shudders. My stomach plunges at the entire building tilts forward and dives into the ocean.
I barely manage to conceal myself with an air bubble before the water surrounds me.

"Tony!" I wail as I witness the fall of the mansion. "TONY!"
Utter helplessness consumes me and I fall to my knees.
"There's still one left! Allie we have to go!" Maya hisses.
Looking up I see the last helicopter hovering above us.
"Maya cover your ears," I order darkly and get to my feet. White hot rage rushes through me and I know just how to take it out.
Holding my hands up I open my mouth and scream.
The force of my siren cry knocks the helicopter back and makes the pilot keel over.
It's not enough for the carrier to crash, I have to destroy it.
Raising my scream I force all my energy and all my rage at the attacker and push forward.
Seconds later the machine blows up completely.
I stop short at seeing the destruction and watching the pieces fall to the ground.
"Oh my god," Maya gasps behind me. "You're the Siren."
Slowly I turn to face her and stare in frozen fear. She was so close, I could have killed her.
"Did I hurt you?"
"No I heard it, but it didn't hurt," she replies and I sigh in relief.

It's all dark beneath the ocean water except for the flaming surface and glowing Iron Man suit yards away.
"Focus," I mutter as I urge the bubble of air forward towards Tony.
In his kind I can see he is panicking and dealing as if he's drowning. A flash of the worm hole even appears in his thoughts.
The suit is covered in rubble, only a hand remains free.
I manage to hold my bubble and shuffle a large rock off of him.
Seconds later the hand of the suit shoots off only to return and grab the flesh hand. The hand of the suit pulls Tony from his watery grave and then reattaches.
Tony looks to me and holds a hand out. I reach forward out of my bubble and take it.
It takes a minute before we explode to the surface and then another when I fall unconscious from the injuries and pain.

My eyes stay fixed on the water, waiting, praying, for Tony and Gabie to surface.
They never come.
