Chapter 33 Civil War (4/5)
'Having months of a looming apocalypse does this to a man…' Alex thought as he understood some of the reasons that Tony has so many suits right now. The presence of so many different planets made him panic and he did the only thing he knew how to do. He built a fucking army of suits.
Nat pointed a gun at the incoming suits and shot her taser darts at them. They were amplified by Alex's lightning manipulation and packed quite a heavy punch. Alex had formed that gun to shoot darts of lightning. It was a replacement for her taser bracelets.
He couldn't channel electricity through Nat's body since she wasn't immune to it like Alex who had the power to manipulate it.
The suits though dodged her shots, though Natasha kept shooting a few of them as the suits approached her.
One of the darts finally ended up grazing a suit and it was all that was needed for a tiny explosion of electricity to burst out and fry half of the suit.
The auxiliary suit had been destroyed, but by then the suits had already reached her position as the physical suit lunged at her with a punch while the weapons suit started bombarding her with different weapons.
Nat jumped back while throwing a kick at the skull of the suit. It didn't phase the suit and Nat jumped back from it to make a little distance.
Invisibility was useless against these suits so she had to get creative. She knew about Alex's Lightning manipulation abilities and was going to use them to take care of things.
[Alex…] She gave him a signal and leaped away from the suit that was attacking her while dodging the missile darts and bullets that were being fired at her from the ranged weapon armor. She leaped toward the fried suit that was descending toward the ground. She wanted to completely get rid of it first.
She reached it and stood in its trajectory while dodging the attacks from the other suit. She had it easy dodging the attacks since Alex was able to telepathically share his 6th sense ability with her, allowing her to know where the attacks were coming from.
Just as she reached the half-fried auxiliary suit, she jumped high up and swung her leg around, aiming for the chest of the suit.
[Alex weights…] She wanted Alex to make her leg that she'd just swung heavier. As she hit the suit it fell to the ground and the arc reactor powered down.
Before she could sigh in relief, she had to jump to the left as the physical suit had already caught up to her and punched her in the back. Though she was able to dodge due to Alex's 6th sense sharing.
"All right big guy…" Unlike Alex, she was a master of physical combat and that was one domain in which she thrived.
She used everything that she had in her arsenal, not caring that her use of her full melee combat style would end up letting Tony know who she was.
'I'll explain everything to him some other time…' Nat had already decided to go on the run and was going to help Steve.
If she wasn't necessary then she wouldn't compromise herself for no reason, but if she had to then she was going to choose Steve and help him.
Using her usual style of fighting to its full extent, with the crazy enhancements that she had gotten by bonding with Alex, she was able to utterly decimate that suit.
[It feels good to not have to hold back…] Nat sighed in relief.
[Right…] Alex agreed with her. If she was in her Black Widow persona, she would have to hold back and make it seem that she wasn't as strong.
But wearing this suit allowed her to use her full capabilities without worrying.
[Tony probably already knows who you are. Friday can analyze your fighting style.]
[He won't tell on me.] Nat smiled as she told him. She trusted Tony enough to know that this wouldn't ruin her relationship with him. They were comrades in arms. All of the original Avengers were. They all had implicit trust in each other.
That's why even though Steve and Tony had brought in so much external help, there was not a single death. Some of the people were going to get roughed up, but it never went beyond a certain point. It was just a clash of ideals. Not a clash to the death.
Especially in the scenario of the multiple worlds. They were going to need all the fighting strength they could get.
She started running toward the center of the conflict where Tony, Rhodey, Steve, and Bucky seemed to be fighting. People were constantly involving themselves in that fight. They were, after all, the main reason everyone was here. Half of them to help Steve leave and half of them to help Tony stop Steve.
*Sizzle* *Zap*
Nat's path was intercepted by an electricity-manipulating Inhuman. He jumped in front of her and attacked her with the intention of immobilizing her.
[Aren't you supposed to be on Tony's side?] Alex teased Natasha.
[Shut up…] Nat growled at Alex. Her having to fight those robots gave the surrounding people the impression that she was from Cap's side.
Before the man in front of her could do anything, Nat turned invisible. Although Tony had set up contingencies against invisible people, it was clear that he'd only hurriedly done everything.
He hadn't actually created a real countermeasure against them. Nat was still able to use invisibility to fight her other opponents with an advantage. It was just the suits that could make detect someone like Nat.
As he saw Nat disappear in front of him, the inhuman got alarmed and instead of looking around, he closed his eyes and started sensing around him.
Just as Nat approached him and was a meter away from him, he turned to her and extended his hand at her, releasing a blast of lightning.
Nat was surprised and even with Alex's timely warning, she ended up getting shocked by a part of the lightning. She was faster than before, but she wasn't fast enough to the point of being faster than lightning.
Lightning traveled very fast and even with a timely warning, her physical limitations failed her.
Though the lightning didn't affect her at all and her suit easily tanked everything. The stun that Nat was expecting never came.
[I can manipulate lightning, Nat. Immunity to it is necessary for me to use it. Do you think Thor needs to keep himself away from his lightning?] Alex laughed at her.
[My bad…] Nat was embarrassed since in the middle of the fight, it had skipped her mind.
Ignoring the electric Inhuman's shocked expression, Nat jumped up and kicked him right in the face before he could attack her again, making him go to sleep.
"Let's move." She said.
At that moment there was a huge change in the battlefield.
As Nat was running toward the central battlefield, a huge man appeared in her vision.
"What the fuck…" She whispered as she saw a huge 60-meter-tall giant wearing a red-themed suit with a silver helmet. It was Ant-Man turned Giant-Man.
[Well, this just got interesting…] Alex said in her head.
[Right… Interesting...] Nat's thoughts were a mixture of sarcasm and disbelief.
…
"What the fuck…" Wanda and Hawkeye were looking at the huge giant.
"I know you said you have a distraction but I never expected this…" Clint said into the intercom for Ant-Man aka Scott Lang to hear.
"Let's go people, it's the last stretch. Don't waste the time that Scott just bought us." Wanda and Hawkeye heard Cap's voice from the intercom and started running toward the hangar with the Quinjet that they were going to use to escape. Their plan was to have Cap and Bucky escape with most of the people that had come to assist them, but it didn't seem that feasible right now.
Ant-Man grabbed Rhodey's leg and stopped him from being able to move forward.
"Let go of my Rhodey…" Iron Man said as he pointed his repulsors at Ant-Man. With that 10 more suits also came as they also aimed at Scott.
"Um… Guys. Some help here…" Scott was terrified of so many attacks.
"I got you." Daisy aka Quake said from the intercom levitating near Antman and releasing a huge shockwave toward Tony and a few of his suits.
At the same time, an earth manipulator inhuman came to assist Tony as he threw a large amount of debris at Quake to distract her.
Quake used her vibration powers to destroy those huge pieces of debris before moving to incapacitate that Inhuman, but she wasn't successful.
As Quake engaged with the Earth Manipulator, Ghost Rider was fighting Black Panther while Ant-Man had been stomping on Gorgon all this time who kept trying to release some shockwave blasts to remove Ant-Man's foot from him but was unsuccessful.
Ant-Man had served as a nice distraction for all this chaos as Captain America and Bucky slipped away from Iron Man's watch.
Cap noticed one of Tony's suits chasing after them and decided to get rid of it first.
"Buck, boost me up." He told his old friend.
Bucky didn't have to ask him what he was planning as he allowed Steve to use his metallic arm as a footrest to propel himself into the air.
They timed it just right such that Steve shot into the armor that was chasing them and his fist punched right through the armor.
"Let's go." They continued on their way, ignoring the scene of Ant-Man swatting away Iron Man like a bug.
"Captain Rogers. I'm afraid that I must stop you here." A yellow beam of light was fired at the pavement in front of them, making them stop in their tracks to not get burned.
"Vision…" Steve said as he looked at Vision with some apprehension.
"Please, Captain Rogers. Stand down." Vision's tone was forceful.
"You know I can't do that, Vision," Steve said and took a defensive posture.
"Then you leave me no choice." Vision prepared to fight as Captain America charged ahead.
