"We can't let them, not even one." Tony quickly said, everyone knew that if even a single Ultron bot escaped then Ultron could probably return and find away to attack them again and maybe even do worse than try to drop a city. "Rhodey." Tony called.
"On it." Rhodey said as he began to intercept the robots.
"We've got to move out." Steve said "Even I can tell that the air is getting a little thin, you guys get to the boats while I sweep for stragglers. I'll be right behind you."
"What about the core?" Barton asked.
"Oh… wait, I've got an idea." Harry said before he turned to Tony.
"An idea?" Tony asked.
"AN idea, yes, I don't know if it's a good one though." Harry admitted.
"Lay it on me." Tony replied.
"Well, we have the core now, right? So, instead of blowing the city up and suffering from the fall out and potentially killing ourselves, how about we try tricking the altimeter on the asteroid and having it rise until it breaks the atmosphere and simply floats off into space? Keep the city ascending until it reaches space and exits the planets gravity, what do you think?"
"Hmm, Friday, scan the core." Tony ordered, Friday being Jarvis's back up/replacement, and unlike Jarvis she had a female voice.
"It is possible boss," Friday replied. "I'm calculating. And… it can be done, it's the safest plan we have."
"Alright, everyone give me room." Tony said before he moved forwards and began changing the core's timer.
"Alright, we need to work on getting everyone else off of this rock." Cap said.
"We'll also need someone to protect the core to stop the Ultron bots from getting to it." Harry reminded him. "I'll stay, if anyone can survive this then it will be me."
"I'll stay as well," Sif volunteered. "I'm sure that Harry can portkey me to safety in time."
"Woof." Padfoot barked.
"No," Harry shook his head. "you keep the other's safe." Padfoot whined slightly but did nod in agreement.
"I will stay as well." Wanda declared.
"I'll keep her safe." Harry said before anyone could reply, Harry walked over and began whispering in her ear. "Are you sure, kid?" Harry asked.
"Yes," She whispered back. "I need to do this." She whispered in a firm voice. Harry sighed as he leaned back, he raised a hand and petted Wanda on the head.
"You're a good kid." He said before he turned to Tony. "Tony, keep the explode the city as a back up plan."
"Sure thing, Gandalf." Tony replied in a distracted voice, not his most creative nickname but he was a bit busy here. "Alright, done." Tony said as he stepped back. "As long as nobody messes with it we should be safe."
"Good," Cap nodded. "now Avengers, asse…"
"Fuck off," Harry interrupted as he pointed past them. "go on, you've all got work to do, off you go." Harry said impatiently, gesturing them to go with his finger.
"… let's go." Cap quietly finished before he walked away with the others.
"Stay safe." Natasha said as she gave him a quick kiss on the lips before she left with the others, Pietro walked up to Wanda.
"Are you sure about this?" He whispered.
"Get everyone to safety," Wanda nodded. "then come back for me," She ordered. "do you understand?"
"You know… I'm twelve minutes older than you." Pietro reminded her with a smile.
"Just go." Wanda said as she gave him a short laugh.
"Look after her." Pietro said to Harry and Sif before he zoomed away.
"Stay ready." Sif said to Wanda before she looked at her weapons.
"Everything good?" Harry asked her, gesturing to Sif's weapon as he did so.
"Yes, they're a bit dirty though." She said, holding them out in front of Harry and giving him puppy eyes.
"Woman, I've lived with Padfoot for years, don't try that look with me." Harry said, rolling his eyes.
"Please." She said, pouting her lips slightly.
"Damn you." Harry sighed before he waved his wand, cleaning her weapons.
"Thank you," Sif smiled brightly as she leaned up and kissed his cheek. "hmm, this is sort of romantic." She said, more to herself than him.
"You have a funny idea of romantic," Harry commented as he gave her an odd look. "in what way is this romantic?" He asked.
"Well, think about it," Sif responded. "you and me, battling together to protect the innocent, watching each other's backs, keeping each other safe."
"Okay," Harry snorted with amusement. "I suppose I can see it."
"Are you two flirting right now?" Wanda looked at them with disbelief.
"Yes." The two answered without a hint of shame.
Wanda was about to respond but was cut off by the sound of an Ultron bot approaching, before she could even react Harry had his wand out and had destroyed it in an instant.
"Work time." Harry said.
"Got it." Sif nodded, as all signs of playfulness and relaxation left them. Wanda immediately recognized that the two were now in combat mode.
