Chapter Text
Alien ships start to appear in the sky, ponderously, thunderously settling to the ground and Bruce grumbles “Dang it, where’s Bill Pullman when you need an inspirational speech for facing an alien invasion.”
The Hulkbuster comes alive around him and the speakers blare: ”...you will once again be fighting for our freedom. Not from Tyranny, Oppression or Persecution, but from Annihilation. ... the day when the world declared in one voice: We will not go quietly into the night! We will not vanish without a fight! We're going to live on. We're going to survive. Today, we celebrate our independence day.”
Bruce chuckles “Tony, your AIs have way too much an intelligent sense of humor to be just machines.”
Aliens begin pouring across the field, he shrugs mentally. “INDEPENDENCE DAY!!!” and goes charging across the field. Metallica's Seek and Destroy starts blasting in true IronMan style.
...Definitely not just machines.
…
…
A few seconds later, he hears "WAKANDA!!!!” as the assembled warriors follow in his wake.
(Halfway to the confrontation, the Hulkbuster disgorges a mid-transformation Hulk, closes up and continues charging under AI guidance, and the theme music switches to We Didn't Start The Fire, followed by It's the End of the World As We Know It. Veronica has slightly different taste in battle music than her Creator.)
