Earth CK-1357 Welcome to the city of New York. it was peaceful and busy like any other day. They called it the city that never slept for a reason. It had the hustle and bustle of everyday life 24 hours a day seven days a week problem was that every once in a while, there was always... just a tad bit of... *THUD...THUD!!!*...trouble. "MUTANT ABOMINATIONS DETECTED..." the deep mechanical bellowing of a sentinel roared. "ALL MUTANTS MUST BE ELIMINATED."people began to scream and run for safety as the machine began to stomp around destroying cars and buildings and looking for mutants to destroy. Can anyone stop this mechanical monster?!?Meanwhile, Carol Danvers former Airforce pilot and one of the top journalists of the Daily Globe is going about her average workday. when she suddenly feels the ground shake and sees the chaos going on outside. she quickly gets up from her chair. "Looks like it's time to take flight."Outside people continue to scream and run in terror. until suddenly there is a flash of light in the sky.
"is that a comet? is it an alien? No it's...
Ms. Marvelous flies straight at the sentinel with enough force to rip a hole right through its chest. she lands in the middle of the street. the sentinel staggers backwards and lets out a mechanical groan.
"ERROR...ERROR...SYSTEM MALFUCTION...SHUTTING....DOwnnnnn..."
As the machine falls to the ground Miss Marvelous gets up striking her heroic pose. The people cheered her name and let out whistles of delight. Marvelous however tries to calm them down. "Easy, easy, easy. I'm just doing my job."
suddenly the ground shakes and more sentinels are on the way. "MUTANT ABOMINATIONS DETECTED..."
Looks like she was going to need help.

CEO of Stark Industries, billionaire industrialist Tony Stark sat at his desk going over notes for the meeting he would have to attend shortly. The board was quite irked with his frequent absences, but the designs he'd developed for a new telephone-like device would likely ease their tempers. It was still quite a transition from developing weapons, but once mass production began he was certain that every home in America and many beyond would be clamoring for the new means of communication. Easy Tony. This used to be so much easier. Selling the board on new missiles or landmines was a breeze and you are a people person as they say. No need to be worried, but why is it I'd rather be trading punches with The Mandarin than try to sway the board?His worries were quickly washed away when the music he was listening to was interrupted by a newscaster's troubled voice. "This is an emergency broadcast! Giant robots are stomping through downtown seemingly targeting mutants. How they can tell who is a mutant and who is not as well as their origin remains to be seen. Are these the result of private enterprise? Perhaps the tools of another costumed madman bent on subjugation? Or have the closed-door hearings in Washington finally yielded results as far as the mutant menace is concerned? And who will protect us with the Avengers reportedly off-world at this time? All this reporter knows is that everyone outside should seek shelter immediately!" Looks like Steve was right! It is a good thing I decided to take care of company business and remain behind!Pressing a button under his desk he locked the doors to his office before calling the front. "Miss Potts? Tell the board that I have to reschedule our meeting for tomorrow afternoon. I accidentally double booked and have to take a call with the Director of S.H.I.E.L.D. This is the last time I handle my own scheduling." Hanging up he walked to a window and stared out, noticing smoke rising in the distance. Someone has to handle these Sentinels before innocent people were harmed. What more it has to be stopped before some lunatic like that Magneto fellow decide to use this as proof of his claims and recruit more to his cause."But there is nothing Tony Stark can do about this. But thankfully I know a guy who can!" Pulling a suitcase out from under the desk he opened it and pulled upwards revealing glistening red and gold armor. In moments Tony Stark and his designer suit and tie were gone. In their place was the unmistakable futuristic figure of The Invincible Iron Man!"Not bad for a bodyguard," Tony said as he donned the helmet that made him resemble an angry robot. With the roof of the building opening Iron Man took to the sky and raced towards the chaos. Moments Later...Iron Man soared past the head of a Sentinel, rocket boots a ablaze when he noticed Ms. Marvelous in the near distance. So, old Shellhead isn't the first on the scene this time! Good to have some backup!Turning around to hover midair he targeted the Sentinel he had just passed. "ERROR! ERROR! NO MUTANT GENE DETECTED! SUBJECT IRON MAN NOT SLATED FOR TERMINATION!""Too bad for you my files indicate you are overdue for the scrap yard!" Iron Man responded, raising his armor covered hand. From the palm a repulsor ray fired, striking the Sentinel in what passed for it's eyes, the resulting explosion sending charred metal crashing to the streets below.

Carol couldn't help but smile as she saw Tony flying through the air as he blasted some of the remaining sententials.
"Glad to see you show Tony." She said tapping into the radio frequency of his helmet.
There had to have been about dozens of these things, was this a full invasion or an assembly line gone wrong? it wasn't long before she started blasting. "Whoever beats the most of these junkers has to buy the other lunch at Mick's Diner?" The crowd watched and cheered as the two Avengers did what they did best. Whenever an Avenger was around, it always became less a time of fear and more of a time of wonder. Everyone had their favorites. Some liked the Hulk Others liked Thor while others liked Hawkeye, but the golden Trio of The Avengers Was Carol Danvers, John Walker (The man who replaced Steve Rodgers upon his retirement after 47 years of service) and Tony Stark.

"Likewise and you're on. Just remember I like extra cheese on my burgers. Important to know for when I win." Iron Man said as he hovered near Carol's location. Using various sensors in his armor he scanned for more of the mechanical monstrosities. Not like giant robots stomping through downtown are hard to spot, but they must have deployed from somewhere, Stark thought. Switching tactics he started listening in on military and police frequencies. "Any idea where these hunks of junk come from? Last I heard the Sentinel program was just a proposal that congress shot down. My employer Mr. Stark has been keeping a close eye on the proceedings, if just to make sure there is no proprietary Stark Industries technology being used. He's very touchy about that sort of thing. Corporate espionage is almost a big a problem as the regular kind."For a moment Tony couldn't help but smile. Ms. Mavelous and the other Avengers were well aware that it was him beneath the armor, but it didn't hurt to be safe just in case anyone was within earshot. To the world at large the Iron Man was a weapons platform developed by Stark Industries and entrusted to Tony Stark's personal and very private bodyguard.

"More than that. When the government discovered the secret motivation of Project Purifiers the good ol boys in Washington not only shut everything down but designated a special task force to wipe all traces. I should know, I lead it."
Carol was one of the rare heroes on this earth that was a known figure. In other words, Much like with everyone who officially donned the Captain America Mantle, The government knew who the woman behind the mask was. She was essentially the Airforce's "Rosie The Riveter" she wasn't subservient to Uncle Sam though, if anything it was kind of the opposite, she was respected among those in Washington enough due to her service to her country both in and out of costume that if she said something needed to be done it wasn't "Are you allowed to do that so much as. "What do you need from us to make it happen." so when light was shed about the truth behind "Project Purify" Carol did not hesitate to Volunteer her services to wipe it all out, and Uncle Sam did not hesitate to give her what she needed to get it done.
"Thought we scrubbed it all but either we missed a spot or someone who was on the project smuggled a copy and sold it to a third party. She figured it was the latter though she didn't know for sure. She did figure President Jacobs would be asking her a bunch of questions and asking her what the next move should be. "What 'cha think Iron Man, think we can thank Osborn, or Kingpin?"
She couldn't help but notice out of the corner of her eye how people were reacting to the situation. They went from screaming and running in terror to now treating everything like it was a wrestling match. Hey as long as the crowd was at a safe distance she preferred the latter over the former. Some were even holding signs like "We <3 you Ms. Marvelous!" and "I AM IRON MAN!!!" (In reference to both Iron Man and the Black Sabbath song of the same name) Meanwhile, a couple of guys decided to play the Song "Another One Bites the Dust"
She couldn't help but give a thumbs up to the guys for their song choice. It was a nice beat to scrap robots to. One sentimental grabbed her and tried crushing her in its hand only to get it's head blown off by her energy blast. One she ripped an arm off of and proceeded to pulverize the sentinel with it "Why are you hitting yourself?" She mocked to the killer robot before it was reduced to scrap. A third one she just straight chucked into space.
she managed to destroy about 3 more after that. Whatever factory these things came from, or whoever sent them, it seemed like they were releasing the whole payload.

That is a darn good question, Tony thought as he turned his attention to another of the lumbering mechanical menaces. The list of people who not only could afford to buy the Sentinels, but also to build more and deploy them was a short one. The likes of Victor von Doom would never allow a design not of his own making to overshadow his own perceived brilliance, his ego would never allow it. AIM wouldn't have hesitated to redesign and enhance stolen technology, but they were all about pushing forward scientific and technological progress without any ethics, so leaving in programming to seek out mutants wouldn't fit their usual modus operandi. His old foe The Mandarin was also no stranger to acquiring technology through illegal means, but he'd very much mire it in the facade of mysticism. Besides, Mandarin would have programmed them to attack me or my company. Wanton destruction without purpose is not his way, he surmised. Carol's suggestions however both made perfect sense. If they were sent out by Osborn, the brilliant yet dastardly founder of Oscorp it could be for any number of reasons. Perhaps he sought to prove they were subpar compared to his own robotics division. He certainly had the know how to make killer robots of his own, the dreaded Spider-Slayers that the wallcrawler had to contend with proved that. Beyond that though maybe he released them simply to observe and test the abilities of any potential foes. The mysterious Kingpin of Crime likewise could be responsible. Maybe it was all a distraction while he weaved a web of deceit elsewhere or something to keep heroes busy while he used the thugs and gangs under his command to seize even more power on the streets. It really does bother me that The Avengers must handle the world and city threatening enemies leaving the common man at the mercy of these creeps, unless of course Spider-Man, Daredevil, or the Heroes for Hire are available. But even I can only be in one place at a time. At least for now. Hopefully, one day I can come up with a solution that will keep everyone on the planet safe, even from the hoodlums and gangsters that plague our streets. "After the whooping that Osborn took from Spider-Man last month, I think he's likely to have his eyes turned towards revenge. As for the Kingpin, one can never be too sure. Most law enforcement still think he's a myth, despite that story put out by the Globe. But I can think of one way to find out." he said. Flying forward and adding juice to his thrusters, Iron Man rocketed straight through the chest of a nearby Sentinel. Emerging from the other side he targeted a section of the head, a red ray emerging from the gauntlet of his armor. The beam peeled back layers of metal plating to reveal circuitry beneath. "A quick analysis should give us the location of where they launched from. Hmm. Whoever made these are smart. Not Stark smart, but smart enough. I can narrow the signal down to within a specific radius, but not track directly back to the source. We might be up for a bit of a fieldtrip Ms. Marvelous."

Ms. Marvelous bit her lip as the wheels turned in her head. The more she thought about it the more she was less convinced that it was Norman. this sentinel attack didn't fit his MO. Norman was the kind of guy to test to quote him "He was a bit of a scientist himself." A Norman Sentienal attack would most likely be. Release one, see how it stands up to a metahuman, wash, rinse, repeat. mass destruction just wasn't his style. It was however not beyond Wilson Fisk, mass destruction meant cheap real estate. There was also something else she was considering. What If this attack was designed to draw her out? She had written an article for the globe a couple of weeks ago exposing the Leader of the Tracksuit Mafia, the man who called himself "The Kingpin of Crime" While it didn't do much to convince the police, it did cause Carol to be put on the man's craplist. Was it possible that he was using this as a way of observing her power and possibly getting some cheap real estate as a bonus? If there was a way to put money on the table she might have been willing to lay down a few bucks on it. "Honestly the more I think about it the more I'm convinced it's Fisk. This is more within his MO and he might be trying to get back at me for my little article I wrote a few weeks back." she chuckled. "Everyone hates the presses. Still even if we can't prove for certain who unleashed the Sentienals, our primary concern needs to be finding the factory or factories these things are coming from, and shut it down."

"Funny to think that Wilson Fisk is actually the Kingpin of Crime. I can't tell you the number of fundraisers and humanitarian events Mr. Stark has attended that the big man was present for. Always struck me as slimy, but then that's most folks with pockets that deep. Heck, most folks in those circles have at one time or another done business with gangsters even if they didn't know it, but to think he was running the whole shebang when it comes to organized crime in this city? Hopefully Miss Potts remembers to take him off the Christmas card list this year."Glancing down he carefully extended a number of wire-like structures from the armor's gauntlet and gently connected the nodes to an exposed chip board inside the wreckage of a Sentinel. In moments he was seeing binary code running across his vision as he accessed the memory banks of the killing machine, searching for a point of origin. "Ah-ha! Got it. This Sentinel and the others launched from a decommissioned oil rig. Stupid thing was an expensive waste of time. Well, a scam if we are being honest. A bunch of ignorant rich folks wanting to double their fortunes invested in new drilling tech that they never actually saw and paid off government officials to get permission to build the rig only to find out they were not cleared to actually drill. Whoever set that up took off with a hefty portion of their investment funds and New York was left with a eyesore just offshore. And one guess who bought it up under a couple shell corporations claiming to turn it into a tourist spot?" he said. "Given what you've uncovered about Fisk I wouldn't doubt the whole thing was some kind of scheme and that he bought the rig at a discount after he already built it through other fake corporations."
Sending a schematic and map of the oil rig to her Avengers communicator, Iron Man turned to face Ms. Marvelous. "Mind if I tag along? I know that mafia sorts are usually not the typical enemies of Iron Man, but Mr. Stark no doubt would be interested in seeing if any of the technology that goes into these killer automatons are proprietary Stark Industries designs."

"If there is one thing I've learned, it's that the bigger and more frequent the public show of philampatry, the more likely they are trying to distract people from the more unsavory aspects of themselves."Carol couldn't help but grit her teeth when Tony started talking about that oil drilling scam. She had been able to expose the scam itself but she could never pin it on Fisk, It was a truly impressive oil rig more than 2.5 times the size of the entire Safaniya Oil Field. in fact, it was big enough to practically be an island or a city. in it's own right. The problem was, for all of the reasons Stark pointed out, it was worthless. The Tech Fisk promised under a pseudonym didn't actually exist, meaning there was no real way to drill that deeply in the ocean, one might as well have been trying to drill for oil on the moon. Leaving the investors bankrupt and New york with a giant eyesoar the size of a small city in the middle of one of its bodies of water. "5700 square miles, the capacity of collecting and storing over 100 billion barrels of oil reserve, over $15 billion in investment and it was all for nothing. When the scam got exposed and the investments went bust I actually made plans to buy that rig myself and turn it into a Luxury District for War Vets returning home, Casinos, restaurants, shopping centers condos and apartments...other things. They'd drill for oil as a day job and then be able to live it up after they got off work..."She let out a genuinely disappointed sigh.But Fisk beat me to it. I guarantee you he paid pennies on the dollar for it. in fact, I bet that was his plan all along, to have the investors do the expensive hard part and then he swoops in and buys it at a price he can afford when the scam collapsed on itself. Something tells me those sententials aren't made with blasting drill holes into the bottom of the ocean in mind though."She was more than happy to oblige his request. "Of course, you can come along. We don't want Tony Stark's name to be dragged through the mud now do we?"She couldn't help but grin. "just curious, once we stop the Fat Man do you think Mr. Stark would be willing to partner with Carol Danvers and help her repurpose some old Kree Asteroid drillers into some REAL proper bottom-of-the-ocean oil drillers and make her idea a reality? Say...a 50/50 partnership? it'd turn that eyesore into a real tourist attraction, pump a lot of production into the U.S economy and it'd give a lot of war vets some much-needed jobs and housing. eh, eh?"

Iron Man gave her a nod as he once more took to the air, coordinates set for the oil rig. "While I can't speak for him being a lowly bodyguard and all that entails, I think that sounds right up Mr. Stark's alley he replied. "Considering he is still years away from making his clean energy initiative both safe and affordable for private use, getting more energy produced at home would definitely appeal to his interests, not to mention a chance to see some extraterrestrial tech up close in a non-combat scenario."Truth was Stark was always thrilled to fund something that could actually benefit average people, but being able to do so after embarrassing Fisk and taking the Kingpin of crime down a few pegs? That was just icing on the cake. Doing good is great. Doing it while humiliating enemies and with style? Infinitely better and more entertaining, he thought. As the pair of heroes flew towards the oil rig and set his suit's scanners to trying to detect any threats, be they from additional Sentinels or whoever was constructing them. Thus far all security cameras appeared to be closed systems, inaccessible from the outside. "Knowing Captain Walker and his stance on veterans issues, the pair of you might actually be able to convince him to make appearances and spread the word."

Carol tapped her wrist communicator as Tony seemed to be breaking up. "I'm losing you." Upon landing, Carol was able to figure out why. Something was jamming all radio communications both internal and external, honestly, this was a bit of relief. Yes, they could not communicate long distance, but at the same time Fisk wouldn't eavesdrop...which meant they could drop the whole act of talking in third person. and talk like normal people. It wasn't long before she was able to find Tony. "Sorry, something on the rig is blocking communications on both ends, we can't hear Fisk but he can't hear us either. Still, with long-distance communication out of the question, we'll have to stay close."She went on to open up up a vent by cutting it with a plasma beam. "You really think that my idea is a good one? I know you're all for green energy. but even in advanced civilizations Oil still has its uses."

Having his armors sensors and communications array verify that nobody was able to hear them speak, Iron Man nodded. "It's a fine idea Carol. Practical even. I'd be more than happy to partner with you on this. Much as I want to help the world with clean energy, there are plenty of hurtles. I can't trust letting ARC Reactor tech out into the wild. That's a genie that won't be able to be put back in the bottle. It's simply too dangerous given the weapons applications to use it in the public space, not to mention it isn't cheap. There are other methods I'm working on, but considering how often I have to put things on hold to go smack Mandarin in the mouth or remind the Justin Hammers of the world that there is only one Iron Man, progress has been delayed. Besides, once I do figure it out, and I will, I mean its me, there is still going to be years of testing and getting it approved via various governments, so it is a ways off yet," he answered. "In the meanwhile even electric, solar, and wind alternatives require at least some fossil fuel support. I can't tell you the irony of having to explain to congress and others why Stark industries isn't investing in wind farms following incidents where other companies have had oil leaking from windmills and causing mini-environmental disasters across the heartland."Approaching the makeshift access Ms. Marvelous had created, the eye slits of his helmet sealed, a light glow coming from where Tony's eyes would normally be seen, a sign that he'd activated some vision mode or another. "Besides, any chance to annoy Willy by turning one of his ill intended ventures into something that helps the very people he preys on? Well it warms the cockles of my heart, damaged as it may be. I can already see the look on his face when he hears the news. If I can get a picture, it's going on the Avengers Christmas Cards this year. Assuming we can't nail his very wide backside to the wall for this though, you are going to want to be careful. I know you can handle yourself, but whether he's rotting in a cell or enjoying Tahiti while his army of lawyers try to keep him out of one, he won't forget the reporter that helped subvert his plans. Going to be hard to maintain a secret identity if Carol Danvers tanks gunfire from his hired thugs."

She could not help but wence. " yeah a few months ago I was called over to oversee a Hammer, "Power Armor test" cough cough...knock off Iron man suit...and Hammer has the test pilot turn and the suit twist around at a breakneck speed, there was this loud CRACK followed by a blood-curdling scream...the top half and bottom half of his body were facing opposite directions of each other. ( OOC Note: yes I'm referencing THAT scene from Iron Man 2) Had I not brought him to a S.H.I.E.L.D facility as quickly as I did I'm not sure the poor guy would still be alive. Let alone walking. I talked to Jen Hopefully she and that test pilot sue that hack for all he's worth. I even volunteered to testify as a witness for the test pilot." She couldin't help but chuckle when he mentioned green energy. "Yeah I was talking to a girl in Charles's Acadamy for Gifted Youngsters about that very thing. She litteraly calls herself Nature Girl. She had a whole essay about how Green energy wasin't truly green. She did a good job. She brought up some stuff I never knew about. I'd like to be an advocate for nuclear energy. A couple of guys I know actually have a working prototype for a nuclear fusion core, like the ones in the Fallout Series, but nuclear energy has its own problems. for example, how do you dispose of it? I mean sure if this place went nuclear you and I can clean it up quickly and fairly easily...but contrary to what people may think you and I can't be everywhere all at once even with me going at lightspeed travel. You don't happen to have any nuclear waste disposal drones in that sketchbook of ideas of yours do you?"She couldin't help but smile when he expressed concern for her privacy and personal life. "Aw you're sweet Tony, but I mean if I was forced to go completely public with my identity it's not going to change that much. I mean I'm a pinup girl for our boys abroad. worst case scenario I'd have to give up my journalism job. Although it's funny you and I are kind of oppisites. You portray yourself as an attention hog but you seem to love your privacy. meanwhile everyone thinks I'm this super private person who can;t stand the idea of being in th spotlight...I could take it or leave it. I'll roll with the punches regardless."suddenly her one of her wrist gadgets was giving a series of rapid beeps. "Woah, uh tony speaking of this place going nuclear I'm getting 3 sources of immense radiation dispersion."suddenly there was the sound of loud clunks and it wasn't long before the sources made themselves known. They were three robotic drones that looked like nuclear fusion powered Iron man suits...built to scale. *INTRUDER ALERT INITATING GAURDING PROTOCAL...INTRURUDER TO BE ELIMINATED BY ANY MEANS NECCEARY. LETHAL FORCE IS AUTHORIZED. * "Oookay I can't say I was expecting to have to fight doppelgangers of you today." Marvelous got into a fighting stance.

Iron Man scanned the robotic duplicates, his temperature rising at the site of them. Well, thankfully my armor is shielded against radiation. Well, for the most part. Still don't want to stand too close to these things if they blow, he thought/ "Wasn't on my bingo card either. I take back what I said about Fisk and being a criminal mastermind. I made the news a year or two back expressing my anger over knockoff Iron Man designs, especially the stolen tech variety. Just ask Justin Hammer or the army of lawyers still defending me in courts across the globe for the so-called Armor Wars. And look at that color scheme. I mean ripping me off? Bad. Making them walking nuclear reactors? Stupid. But going for Fifty Shades of Doom? That's just tacky." he said. "Goes without saying, but uh, be careful if you take one of these rust buckets down. We have to disable them without piercing the cores. Which makes this...mildly more annoying."An energy shield flared from his gauntlet as a laser weapon struck it. The suit automatically recorded the readings, a series of numbers and calculations running in the corner of Stark's vision. "Good news, just got confirmation there's nobody in those things. No reason to hold back. Still, I'm going for the ranged approach. Doubt those toasters can stand up to the genuine article, but standing too close, even with radiation shielding gives me the heebie-jeebies. I might want to have little Iron Brats one day."Flying backwards, hovering mere inches from soldi footing, he took aim at an arm joint, testing to see if it was a weak spot. "Repulsor. Tight beam, thirty percent strength. Let's give it a love tap." Iron Man told his operating system. Raising a hand palm-out, he fired a beam of blue hued energy.

The drone was shot back and Marvelous used the opportunity to make a move she couldn't help but smirk. Absorbing nuclear energy would just make her stronger so she had nothing to worry about. She had a solution of her own. Grabbing a drone by it's neck she ripped the Fusion core out of it's chest like a barbarian ripping out someone's heart. The drone let out a low drone before falling like an empty suit of armor. She then ripped off the limbs of another while stoping on it's head crushing it like a dominatrix. "Ha! nothing but scrap metal." she then grabbed the fusion cores juggling them in her hands. " hey, I could use these to power my house for a while, save a few months on electricity bills."
She then noticed three more faux Iron Man drones marching toward them. She then looked to Tony and grinned. "These I'll leave to you. I can't have all the fun now can't I?"
