I Am Iron Man (MHA) Chapter 177: Truly a Stark
🕑 Added 2025-01-22 22:37:29 +0000 UTC[Third Person's PoV]
While Tony and Wanda were busy evacuating civilians all at once, Thor and Natasha made their way into the underground workings of Sokovia. There, they discovered where Ultron had grafted his new body.
As they investigated for any signs of what else Ultron had been building, Stark soared through the air and landed near the church where Ultron was expected to be.
In Ultron’s grasp was a fragment of Tony's symbiote, which he casually crushed in his glowing red palm before tossing it behind him like disposable garbage, deeming it useless.
“Finally come to confess your sins?” Ultron taunted, keeping himself hidden from Stark for a few moments.
“I don’t know—how much time you got?” Stark quipped, his tone dripping with sarcasm.
“More than you,” Ultron replied immediately, stepping out of the shadows to reveal his upgraded Vibranium body.
Stark took a step back, tilting his head slightly to look up at the towering figure. “Uhh, have you been juicing? A little Vibranium cocktail? You're looking... I don’t want to say puffy.”
“You’re stalling to protect the people,” Ultron observed with a small nod.
“Well, that is the mission. Did you forget?” Stark retorted, using the moment to buy more time.
“I’ve moved beyond your image. I’m free,” Ultron said, pacing slowly.
Suddenly, a massive, metallic structure erupted from the ground, unfurling and anchoring itself in place with a screech of metal and sparks flying into the air.
Unbeknownst to Ultron, the fragment of Tony's symbiote that he had discarded had survived, cooling down from the plasma blast. It began crawling towards the device now embedded in the ground.
“You thought you were the only one stalling?” Ultron sneered.
Stark’s new AI, FRIDAY, scanned the device and reported, “The remaining Vibranium is concentrated there. Function still unclear.”
“This is how you end, Stark. This is the peace of my time,” Ultron declared ominously.
Meanwhile, across Sokovia, Ultron's sentinels emerged from the underground, spilling onto the surface of the city.
Something strange caught Steve Rogers’ attention. He noticed all the sentinels turning their heads simultaneously toward a single direction. His eyes widened.
“That’s where the civilians were evacuated,” Steve muttered grimly.
The sentinels straightened themselves before breaking into a sprint toward the civilians’ location.
“They’re heading for the people! Stop as many of them as you can!” Steve shouted, flinging his shield into the crowd of sentinels. It ricocheted, slicing through multiple enemies before returning to his grasp.
As the shield returned, Steve held it protectively, dodging their oncoming blasts. Their hands transformed into energy blasters, glowing with a pulsing blue light.
Steve weaved through the barrage, but he realized he was being flanked. With a sharp pivot, he hurled his shield into another group of sentinels, then vaulted over the hood of a nearby car.
Recalling his shield, he watched as it bounced off sentinels and vehicles alike before landing securely in his grip. Standing firm, he prepared for the next wave of attackers, determination etched on his face.
“Oh, I definitely wasn't expecting this, that's for sure…” Tony said as he stood beside Wanda, the red dome filled with civilians behind them, while in front of them a tidal wave of Ultron sentinels were running along the ground and flying through the skies.
“Stand behind me for a second” Tony said as he turned to look at Wanda.
“I don't need your protection” Wanda scoffed as she leaned forwards, her eyes pulsing red along with her hands.
“It's not from them I'm trying to protect you against it's from me…” Tony said as he began walking forwards.
Tony slapped his hands together and his symbiote began to shift and change. His hands transformed into a giant energy cannon which was seen turning redder and redder the more energy Tony gathered.
Who was able to feel the energy signature Tony was gathering quickly took a couple steps behind him.
“I'll show you what maximum efficiency looks like!” Tony grinned excitedly.
Tony's symbiote anchored him to the ground as his energy capacity showed it was at a 100% percent.
A beam of concentration erupted from Tony's arm cannon with an indescribable high pitch sound.
As Tony’s energy beam tore through the battlefield, it was momentarily bathed in an intense red glow. The ground beneath the beam’s trajectory cracked and melted, leaving a trail of molten destruction in its wake. Sentinels flying overhead were caught in the energy wave and disintegrated mid-air, their mechanical parts reduced to ash that scattered in the wind.
Wanda shielded her eyes from the brightness and when she felt the light decreasing she lowered her arm, and was left stunned.
Steam was rising from Tony's arm alongside the ground in front of him, there was a giant hole in the approaching army of sentinels. Even those that were caught right in the blast appeared sluggish as some of their parts appeared to have melted from the residual effect of the heat.
Tony looked proud of the result of his attack and when he looked a bit smugly towards Wanda his expression froze as she saw a cold hateful look in her eyes.
“There's no thought about it about it now” She said with a sneer, “You truly are a Stark”
“Wha–” Tony asked in bewilderment.
“Other universe or not you are all still the same deep down.” Wanda said as she began to charge towards the still on coming sentinels.
Wanda spread her arms and some sentinels were captured in her powers. She smashed them down to the ground before quickly conjuring a shield for herself to protect herself.
Tony appeared jumping down from the skies holding a holographic shield in front of him, charging from his back tendrils with ends made out of plasma blade shout forth and began slashing at the Sentinels.
They split apart with every slash, and as his tendrils slashed around, Tony turned to look at Wanda as he asked, “Woman, what Is your problem?!”
Wanda let out a huff as she began shooting hex bolts by flicking her hand behind Tony using his for protection, “All you Stark's are capable of is created weapon of mass destruction, you don't worry what that weapons thus to the home of others”
“You seriously can't be getting mad at me for using that attack earlier can you?! We're in the middle of a war woman, you think we're going to have time to worry about collateral damage?!”
“That's what I mean!” Wanda shouted as she conjured a full shield around both her and Tony with her power.
“You Starks never care about the collateral damage your weapons do, the homes you destroy. When this is all over where do you think those people will go? They will be left homeless all because you wanted to show off your weapon.”
Tony clenched his raised it upwards and all around them light constructs began to be conjured up, all being suits of Iron Man armor. Their propulsors roared to life and flew towards the army of sentinels.
“Woman–”
“STOP CALLING ME THAT! I HAVE A NAME!” Wanda snapped as she elevated cars off the street in her anger and threw them all crashing against groups of sentinels which exploded on impact.
Tony began to look irritated as well and shouted back, “FIRST OF ALL THERE'S NO REASON TO YELL, I'M STANDING RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU. AND SECOND OF ALL HOMES AND HOUSES CAN BE REBUILT AND REPLACED BUT YOU WANNA KNOW WHAT CAN'T, THE LIVES OF PEOPLE. SO WE EITHER GO ALL OUT AND FOCUS ON EXTERMINATING THE THREAT AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE OR WE ACT CAREFULLY TAKING OUR SWEET SO AS TO NOT DESTROY THE HOMES OF PEOPLE AND TAKE THE RISK OF LETTING THE SENTINELS BREACH THROUGH AND TAKE OUT THE LIVES OF PEOPLE, IT'S ONE OR THE OTHER THERE CAN'T BE TWO, SO WHICH ONE DO YOU THINK IT'S WORTH SAVING MORE? THE PEOPLE OR THE HOMES WHICH WILL REMAIN EMPTY WHEN ALL OF ITS OCCUPANTS ARE DEAD?”
Tony was huffing and puffing, while Wanda remained quiet, “Thought so, so less whining and more action!”

I assume that the suits that support both "Hawkeye and Black Widow" are based on those shown in "Marvel Rivals" if so they are fine

Forgot how much of a hypocrite Wanda is, like her even getting powers was to kill Tony (Marvel) for having his name on a weapon that landed near her and then she goes on to enslave a town and then go on murder spree across the multiverse for her kids which she never had in the first place. TLDR: Dr. Strange Multiverse of Madness destroyed Wanda from being redeemable from her actions in WandaVision
