Tower Attack

Rea POV

While the separate Teams were off finding the remaining Stones, Iron Man and Spencer were hanging back at Avengers tower with Hawkeye, along with me who is trying to fix the pendant device using the tools that I borrow from Iron Man. I was trying to fix the dial on the device which Shane almost break it. I maybe smart as Apu but I'm not an inventor beside I'm not good at inventing, only calculation and theory. It figures huh? While the others go out and look for these Infinity Stones, I have to keep Iron Man and his company to guard the most dangerous man in the galaxy. Some fangirl I got mixed up into. As I was jiggling around the dial, it began to fritz and spark a bit then stopped. I sighed with disappointment and said, "Great, I was able to fix the dial somehow but I can't understand its structure. Apu really is a good inventor." 

I thought I can fix the device somehow but I decided not to becoz I don't want to risk being teleported to somewhere else or worst.

Iron man said, "Remind me again why we're doing this?" I groaned and said, "We've been over this, Iron Man. The Infinity Stones are to powerful to wield, not even a human or any of us can handle it."Dr. Light said, "She's right, A device must be constructed in order to harness them."

"Just like the Infinity Gauntlet? Y'know what I mean...."

Iron man who looks annoyed at us for the theory. "rhetorical question, you two but thank you."He said as he turned to Spencer. "Spencer, can you pass me that coupling over there?"

"Sure"Spencer said, using his robotic arm to stretch and grab the coupling then tossed it to Iron Man.

"Y'know I could whip up a replacement....something a little more sporty, little less last place in high school science----"

"Yeah...I'm good, thx"

I said to him, "He's grown attach to his arm, beside he is a bionic commander."there was silence as Iron Man stared at me who I was sitting on the seat, looking bored then stared at the pendant device at my hand. He broke of the silence by asking, "So, in your world; Am I really that famous?"I blinked at him and said, "Uh yeah they made movies, episodes and comics about you. Plus, they even have fan clubs."

"Wow, They sure love me."

"Yes.....We also root for heroes but sometimes there are those who like villains."

"I didn't know that.....And that device, Energy Projector is it....your friend made that?

"He and his twin brother are rich people but he sometimes invent things for fun but not for weapons. Except the part that most of his toys survived from not blowing up. He's cool and alright guy."

"Kinda like me"

"Yeah but minus being playboy and all...."

"Uh-huh Hmm.... *staring at the pendant* y'know I could help you fix that device beside I always wanted to see how he made."He said as he was about to grabbed it but I whisked from his reach. 

I said sternly, "Actually, I prefer my friend fixing it instead of having you dismantle it into pieces just for your curiosity. So, I'm not taking any chances." as I placed it in my pocket just to be in safe precaution.

That's when Hawkeye called in his com, "Hawkeye to Stark, we got movements, seven kliks out. Multiple targets, Closing fast....Its Ultron Sigma." I shuddered when I heard Ultron Sigma would send his goons to attack us. "Shields Charging now." Dr. Light said. "60 seconds to full power."

I heard windows crashing as 4 drones barged in. Spencer said to me, "Quick kid, you should take cover while we deal with them." As Iron Man and Spencer attack the drones while Dr. Light is still charging the shield. If only I had superpower, I can help them but even I felt helpless without a weapon though. As the drones were cleared out, the shield was activated much to my relief. Iron man said in his com, "Good job, Barton. Take a break."

 WHen I thought we were safe but it was short lived when I saw the red screen. Doctor Light said, "SHield holding at 80 percent. At this rate, it will be breached within minutes."

Iron man said, "Good observation, Doc. Does anyone have something useful to share?"

"Shield at 60 percent."

I said, "So much for something useful....."

"I thought you have the foreknowledge of everything, Ms Know-it all."

"I said I have foreknowledge of every characters, Tony. I'm a fangirl, not a miracle future sight."

"Okay, I've had just about enough of this! Stark, We're on our own here " Spencer said walking over to Thanos said. "We need Thanos, we gotta let him free." "Uh...what's that word im looking for?.... No?" Iron Man said.

"Shield at 40 percent"

Thanos chuckled deeply as Iron man turned to him, "Somthing funny grimace?" 

"Tony STark and Doctor Light, two warmongers, fighting for peace yet responsible for so much horror. Are your hands any cleaner than mine? Your shield will not save you. Release me." Thanos said. 

Soon the glass starts to break and drones came in."Um Guys, pizza's here." I said, standing beside the cell, as Stark and Spencer shot the drones down before Ultron Sigma arrived. "Thanos. We see you've traded one prison for another." Ultron Sigma said."Will you not bow before your god?"

"You are no god." Thanos spoke in authority. "YOu are a fool. YOu weild the greatest power of all creations yet you wear them like trinkets and use them like a child." Ultron Sigma then approached Thanos very fast which we had to move out of the way.

 "YOu have served your purpose." Ultron SIgma said. "The Remaining four infinity stones will soon be ours. How does it feel to know such power..."

Then, he grabbed me by the wrist swiftly and lift me off the ground. Iron Man and Spencer got into their stance, they want to stop him but don't want to risk hurting me. "And you....Don't think we forget about you. Who would have thought you were under the protection of these heroes?" He said to me. I struggled to get out of his grip but his hand is so strong that he gripped my wrist so hard it hurts. 

Iron man saw my pain expression and demanded, "Let her go, she has nothing to do with this."

"On the contrary, she does.....we do not know how she end up in our underground prison. But we fear that she might assist you in succeeding the war which we cannot allow that to happen. "He said as he slowly raised his hand at me. 

My eyes widened realizing that he's going infect me with the Sigma Virus, just like Thor. I began to thrashed myself from his grip becoz I don't want to turn into some zombie drone. Iron man and Spencer stood there helpless, didn't know what to do. While I was struggling, I didn't notice the pendant fell out from my pocket and landed on the ground. All of a sudden, a pink light that was going around the entire device then began to beeped repeatedly as though it detected something.

That's when the pendant device began to glow. Iron man, Spencer and I looked confused why is it doing that. Until, the two gems that was on Ultron Sigma began to glow as well as if it was resonating. I watched as the red and blue threads of swirling energy came out from their gems, weaving  their way through the air and converging towards the pendant as if it was absorbing. I have no idea what's going on when I felt the grip is getting loose. I looked at Ultron who seems to be feeling weary all of a sudden as he released me, making me dropped on the ground. The device is still absorbing the energies emitting from the gems. I rushed to grabbed it and covered the dial with my hand as the threads were cut off from Ultron Sigma. I didn't help quite notice that I felt something rushing through my arms the moment I touch the pendant.

I stared at the device when I saw the 6 gray circular light panels that was there instead has red panel and blue panel on two sides that wasn't there before. I blinked in confusion and said, "Ok....that wasn't suppose to do that." 

I forgot Ultron Sigma was still in front of me, who had recovered from the draining and he seems pretty angry of what I just did. Ultron Sigma glared at me and said, "We don't know what you did but you will pay for your insolence."

I gulped that I knew I really peeved him off. Before Ultron Sigma could finish me, Iron Man prepared to fire his Unibeam as I saw Spencer detached an electrical cable and attached it to his bionic arm. "Doctor Light! Hit it!" Spencer said as Light did so, allowing the two to electrocute Ultron Sigma. Its a good thing I manage to avoid from being shocked also I realize the shock not only damaged Ultron Sigma, the cage as well, thus freeing Thanos.

I slowly stood up and back away from Thanos. "Um...Hes all yours, big guy." I said to him.

 "As it should be." Thanos said before ferociously charging at Ultron Sigma, punching him backwards. "Did you forget, titan? Reality and Space are ours to command." Ultron sigma said removing his cape.

"The stones will not save you this time." Thanos said as he was landing blow upon blow on Ultron Sigma.

"Wow, Seems this Thanos isn't all talk as I thought he would. This changes things quite a bit." I said, crossing my arms. Thanos continued his assault on Ultron Sigma, pounding him repeatedly until he hit the Reality Stone, causing it to crack as Ultron Sigma quickly got up and jumped back as he seemed to fizzle strangely. "W-We---I-I-I---Y-You hurt me! Y-You hurt us! That hurt.! We must retreat and repair." Ultron Sigma said. "In time... you will all come to us."as he warped out of the tower.

I slowly walk beside Thanos, be sure to be 5 inch away from him and I notice his gaze was on the pendant I was holding. " A device that siphons energy and yet channels the power. Very interesting tool you have there." He said to me. I blinked at him and replied shakily, "Uh... thank you?"

I stood there and stared where the robot disappeared"So DId you get him? " I asked. "No. I merely was able to crack one of the stones that bind the two of them together. They are weak, but still whole. They have fled so the coward may repair himself." Thanos said. That was simple, talking to him is kinda strange.

"Well at least it gives us time to figured out how to take them down. But for that, we need the four remaining stones." Iron man said, who manage to recover. "That's right. Let's just hope everyone else is able to do their part." Spencer told him. I stared back at the pendant, wondering what was that strange feeling I felt back there. The pendant just absorbed the cosmic energy from the Reality and the Space Stone. Apu told me it can open portals to many places where we want to be but this....is completely new. I'll asked Apu if he's found, he might have the answers.

I placed it around my neck beside it'll be better that way than in my pocket for now. Well, the place is a bit messy and Thanos is free, I should stay far from him. What confused me is what he said about the device that can siphon and channels energy. I wonder what he meant?

As I spaced out, I felt as if someone was staring at me. I turned to Iron man and saw him looking straight at me. "Um....Is something wrong?"I asked, tilted my head. Iron Man replied, "Have you look yourself in the mirror, kid?"

"What's that suppose to mean?"

"Well, its just your hair seems.....faded for some reason."

I looked at him strangely as I looked at the broken mirror that was on the floor. My eyes widened that I notice my hair color just turned pale pink. I said frantic, touching my hair, "What the heck?! WHat happen to my hair?!"
