WOW... no one liked the last two chapters, sorry guys! If there's anything you want different or anything that you think would work better please let me know, otherwise I have no idea why people aren't enjoying it! Thanks to guest for reviewing lol, made me feel loved :)

I stood on the deck of the helicarrier, looking out at the ocean; I stuffed my hands into my pockets to protect them from the harsh wind.

'You ready?'

I turned to see Natasha waiting by the helicopter.

I nodded; I looked back at the ocean once more before joining her. I was never one to be nostalgic, but the ferocity of the wind and the crash of the waves below was a very real reminder of how small we really are in this world. Once it's all said and done, we're just people, living on borrowed time on a planet and a world which made us look so insignificant.

I tossed those thoughts aside and climbed in beside Natasha, I glanced down at my watch, close to two in the morning. I had no concept of time anymore, everything was complete chaos.

'Ok, so we have a visual of all the surveillance feeds, and this is the feed you requested.' She handed me a tablet with a live feed of the server room.

'Is that all you need?' she yelled over the noise of the blades above us.

I nodded; I glanced down at the image.

'Banner is there, Pepper is at home with Steve and Happy.' She explained.

'Thank you, 'I looked at her sideways.

She nodded acknowledging my appreciation, I looked back down at the tablet, 'I need to get in unnoticed.' I explained.

She nodded, 'no problems.'

'ETA three minutes.' The pilot announced.

'Ok, game time.' I muttered, I stood up and held my arms out, I willed the armour to me. Within seconds the Mark forty seven began assembling itself around me. 'Impressive.' I nodded to myself as the suit was completed in record time.

The pilot opened the cargo door and I took a running leap into the sky, I ignited the thrusters and sped down to earth. I let out a yell of pure exhilaration; I had really outdone myself this time. The new armour was impeccable. Every aspect of it was superior; the flight, the speed, the agility. It was purely brilliant.

'Jarvis, stats?' I breathed as I approached the designated landing area.

'Everything is running at one hundred per cent, sir.' Jarvis announced.

I landed with one knee and fist on the ground, 'and my vitals?'

'So far, so good sir.' Jarvis said simply.

I nodded, 'keep me posted, I need to know if there are any changes, this is a whole new level of energy I'm using up now.'

'Of course sir.'

I willed the armour to disassemble itself, I watched as it compressed itself into a compact folded unit.

'Romanov, do you read me?' I walked through the darkened area of the street away from the surveillance cameras positioned on the corners of the buildings.

'Reading you Stark.' She replied.

'Good, I'm approaching the tunnel entrance; let me know when you're in position.' I crouched down and pulled away the concealed grate which was disguised as a drain cover.

'I'm approaching the building now, Bruce is in position, ready for phase one.' She noted.

'Ok, give me two minutes and I'll clear a path for you through the corridors.' I whispered as I crawled through the narrow tunnel.

'Waiting for your word.' She replied.

I made my way through the dark tunnels as fast as I could, once I located the right path I set up several miniaturised beacons to guide me back through. I found the entry point. I knelt on the ground beside the hatch and located the entry panel. I pulled out my phone, 'ok Jarvis, we need to try and break through this code, I need the hatch integrity uncompromised.'

I keyed in several commands and looked at the numbers which started to appear, whilst I waited I looked around, the musty surroundings where unpleasant to say the least, the stench was hideous. I tried desperately to ignore it as much as I could. I bowed my head and buried my nose against my leg. I looked down at the ground; I cocked my head as I noticed a small toy half buried under the soil. I pulled it out. A Captain America figure, I smiled and remembered playing down here while my dad worked on the bunker. Countless times he had brought me down here to make me memorise how to get here and how to open the door should I ever need it.

My mind clicked straight away, 'Jarvis, I got it.' I stuffed the toy in my pocket and replaced my phone.

I opened the panel and looked at the rusty key pad.

'You have one shot to do this sir, are you sure you don't want me to continue to break the code?' Jarvis asked.

I nodded to myself, 'I'm sure, I remember this.'

Without hesitation, I keyed in the combination which stuck in my mind.

The hatch opened.

'Well done sir.' Jarvis said coolly.

I smiled, 'thanks.'

I pushed the buttons on the Jammer which Bruce had planted yesterday. 'Romanov, I'm in, setting off the jammer now, you're up.'

'Copy that.' She replied.

I sat under the hole Bruce had made, I climbed up on the stool which he left for me, a few moments later the shelf above the hole was moved and Natasha appeared with a smile.

'Let's go.' She grinned.

Her enthusiasm was infectious; I immediately felt excitement for the mission. It was dangerous, and who knows if I would even make it out. But the thrill was as present as ever.

I hoisted myself up through the hole and followed her through the darkened building. We hastily made our way through the corridors.

'Banner, Phase two.' She spoke into her earpiece.

We rounded the corner and met with Bruce, he held out three EMP devices, he handed one to each of us.

'You're sure about this?' he asked as I took mine.

'Pretty sure.' I said as confidently as I could, 'just don't use it if I'm within six feet of you.'

'That's not convincing at all.' He grimaced.

'Never said it would be easy.' I shrugged.

'This is true.' Natasha added, 'this is a last resort, anything gets tripped fire it.' She held up the EMP device.

Both Bruce and I nodded in unison.

'Ok, we're com silent, so if anything goes wrong, there's no way to communicate it, rendezvous in seven minutes at the server room.' I explained as I tucked the EMP device in my back pocket, 'if one of us isn't there,' I paused, 'well, we'll deal with that if it comes to it.'

Bruce nodded uneasily.

'Clint is watching the perimeter, he's on standby.' She added.

'Ok,' Bruce nodded, 'here's the tablet and the laptop.' Bruce handed me a case.

I took it from him, 'good luck,' I smiled, and made my way to the room to face the Nano bomb.

Natasha and Bruce went their allocated ways, I sighed, 'Jarvis, it's just you and me, if the EMP is fired and shuts you down, revert to back up power through the reactor, got it?'

'Of course sir.'

I nodded as I made my way into the room. I closed the door and took a deep breath.

'Well, so far so good.' I muttered.

I knelt beside the device and set up the laptop on the floor beside me and balanced the tablet on my knee. I placed the EMP device beside the laptop.

The lights on the bomb flashed eerily in the night, the glow of my reactor and the laptop screen cast enough light for me to work. I retrieved a set of cables from the case and split the wires under the bomb with a router. I plugged the laptop into the router and waited for the screen to show successful connection. A few seconds later the screen flashed up to welcome me to the Stark server, it brought up every device, building and server connected to it. A breath of relief escaped my lips. I began to key in the code I had written to break through the frequency emitter.

As long as I broke through that, Rick wouldn't be able to detonate, or have any control of the device remotely.

The code was working, slowly. I looked down at my watch, five minutes, 'come on.' I whispered.

Once the code was ready I plugged the tablet into the laptop, 'time for some magic.' I said to myself.

I placed it on the floor so I could have better access to it; I loaded the virus, and readied the system. I prepared myself, once its set there's no turning back.

My finger hovered over the enter key, I closed my eyes and pushed the button.

The virus activated and started spreading through the system; I noticed the systematic shutdown of the whole grid. One after the other, block after block. The virus ran through everything connected to this server and the whole building was plunged into complete darkness. The generator didn't kick in this time. This was my window. I keyed in the final code. The lights on the bomb died down, within seconds they started up again and started to flash gaining speed.

I looked up at it in shock, 'what the hell?' I breathed; I must have tripped a failsafe, some kind of back up detonator.

I looked back down at the tablet and the laptop, the virus was still spreading. The lights continued to flash, gaining speed faster and faster, 'not good, not good, think.' I muttered. I typed through the code trying to break through the failsafe. I glanced down at my watch, two minutes, of all the people to be disarming this I had to be the only one who would be affected, so ironic.

'Jarvis are you there?' I asked desperately.

'Yes sir.' He replied.

'Good, I need a little help, are you still able to connect to back up power?' I muttered.

'I am indeed.'

'Shut it down, shut down the arc reactor.' I breathed.

'Sir shutting down the reactor may kill you.' He retorted.

'I know, I don't have time to argue, just do it.' I glanced down at my watch, one minute, I reverted back to the last plan I had reserved in my mind.

Shut down the reactor and contain the Nano bomb to this room only.

I keyed in the back up code I reserved for this scenario; I watched the reactor readings slow down and cease all together. I typed as fast as I could, my heart pounded in my chest as the code flashed before me and was accepted. I fired the EMP. The laptop and tablet shut down beside me and I was plunged into darkness. I swallowed hard; there were so many things I regretted in this moment. I couldn't think beyond the pain I saw in Peppers eyes as she begged me to be careful and come home to her

Jarvis slowly disappeared from me and I could no longer feel my connection to him or the reactor. I closed my eyes as the beeping on the Nano bomb sped up and a blinding flash consumed the small room, I threw my arms up in front of me before I could move, I felt myself weakening and an immediate metallic taste assaulted my mouth. I felt the blood drop to the floor, I heard the pounding of my own heart in my head, I felt it slow down before the darkness finally crept in and then silence…

I hope this chapter has a little more aproval lol...if not PLEASE let me know, I can't read minds and see what people like and don't like, and I want as many people as possible to enjoy this with me, comment, whether it be good, bad or anything inbetween, criticism is what makes writers better!
