The Final Countdown

"Incoming already came in, mate." Harry said before he continued blasting.

"Stark," Cap said as he shrugged off the damage he received. "you find a way to bring this city down safely. The rest of us have one job, destroy these things. You get hit then you hit them back, you get killed… walk it off."

Harry was tempted to point out that he was the only one on the team who could walk off getting killed but decided it probably wasn't the best time.

Harry saw one Ultron bot get close to a child, Harry teleported over, putting himself in-between the robot and the kid. Harry grabbed the robot by the neck with his free hand and raised it in the air before throwing it down on it's back with a vicious chokeslam, he then used his hand to grab the robots leg and swung it to slap away an approaching robot. Harry quickly followed up with his wand and destroyed the two. "You okay, kid?" Harry asked as he turned to the child. The boy gave him a small nod before he saw his mum, he rushed towards her, crying happily and with relief as she pulled him into a hug before she quickly rushed them both away.

Harry turned back and saw a car drop next to Cap just as Thor landed on the car.

"What? Were you napping?" Cap asked as the two walked towards Harry.

"You two good?" Harry asked as he stopped in front of them.

"Why? You tired?" Cap asked with a smirk.

"Not too tired to break your arm again." Harry said, returning the smirk.

"As much as I enjoy our little chats, I don't think that now is the best time." Thor said as group of thirty or so robots flew towards them. Thor twirled his hammer just as Harry twirled his wand.

"Fair enough." Harry said before he aimed his wand at the robots.

.....

"We're all clear over here." Barton's voice was heard through the ear piece.

"We are not clear, we are very not clear!" Cap said as he destroyed another Ultron bot. The robots seemed to be more focused around them, most likely because they were seen as the bigger threats.

"Alright, coming to you." Barton replied.

"Grab onto Padfoot, he'll bring you guys to my location." Harry said after dealing with a few more Ultron bots.

"How many of these things must we fight?" Thor wondered as he smashed several of them using Mjolnir. Thor threw Mjolnir at one robot, it managed to dodge which caused Mjolnir to hit the robot behind it. The first one flew towards Thor but was taken out by Mjolnir as it returned to Thor's hand.

"I wish I knew." Harry said as he transfigured two of them into spears and shot them towards two others. A few moments later Pietro arrived, carrying Wanda with him. The pair of twins immediately jumped into action with Wanda blasting every Ultron bot in sight and Pietro rushing around taking out any robot he came into contact with.

A few seconds later Natasha, Sif, Gwen and Clint arrived next to Harry, all holding on to Padfoot.

"What took you so long?" Harry asked, without waiting for an answer he jumped back into combat and fought against the robots just before the others joined him.

"Stark," Cap said into his ear piece after several minutes of fighting, there were no longer any active Ultron bots around them but they knew that that would not be the case for long. "please tell me that you have something good for us."

"I have… something." Tony admitted.

"That doesn't sound good." Harry frowned.

"It's not but it's the best I've got." Tony replied. "The way I see it is we have one possible way to not have everyone die. I think there is a way to blow up the city, that will stop it from crashing down and destroying all life as we know it. I can do it as soon as you guys get clear."

"I asked for a solution, not an escape plan." Cap replied.

"Well, we don't always get what we want Steve." Harry replied. "If we don't stop this from happening then everybody is going to die, including the people on this floating rock."

"Can't you teleport everyone out?"

"No, there's too many people and not enough time." Harry replied just as everyone else stopped next to them.

"Impact radius is getting bigger each and every second," Tony reminded them. "we're going to need to make a decision."

"Cap, these people aren't going to make it off this rock." Natasha sighed as she looked around.

"Not till everyone is safe." Cap said stubbornly.

"Bloody hell." Harry said under his breath.

"Cap, all of the people on here verses all of the people down there, there is no math in that." Natasha replied.

"I'm shit at math and even I can tell that." Harry added.

"I'm not leaving this rock with one civilian on it." Cap said in a firm voice.

"Look," Harry growled as he looked Steve in the eye. "I really like how good you try to be, I respect how much you value life, I really do. And it pains me, truly pains me to make this decision, but as someone who has seen all life on Earth be killed before, it is not something I want to experience again. I don't think I'd be capable or willing to go to another world after this, so even though it pain me, I think it's rather obvious what we need to do.

If I could give up my own life to save them all then I would, but we can't save them all."

"Oh, I wouldn't be too sure about that." Fury's voice was heard through their ear pieces.

"Fury?" Gwen blinked. "Is that you?"
