At the street level of the Avengers tower, four separate black SUVs pulled up and parked on the curb.
As the doors of each car swung open, men and women in casual clothes stepped out and all started walking towards the tower at once, trying to blend into the crowded New York City sidewalk so they didn't look too suspicious.
Each of these people is a severely unstable Extremis test subject, and wouldn't live much more than a day or two.
Knowing this, each of them volunteered to suicide bomb the ground level of the Avengers tower, as a morbid sort of thanks to Aldrich Killian, for giving them what little time they could spend as able-bodied humans once again.
Every one of them was in horrible battle-torn conditions before Killian came along, so they saw him as a savior and practically worshiped the ground that he walked on.
They would do anything for Killian, especially knowing that they would be dying soon enough either way. In their minds, they might as well use their last moments to repay the very generous favor given to them.
Just as the group of more than 16 Extremis soldiers was about to enter the building, thick metal shutters came down and sealed the building off from the outside world.
All doors and windows were closed off in an instant, surprising everyone in and out of the building, as they heard the loud clanging of the shutters falling and locking into place.
"?!" Each Extremis soldier immediately became alert, as they instantly knew that they were detected somehow.
In unison, as if they could somehow read each other's minds, the plainly dressed soldier's bodies started to glow as they took a deep breath and released a stream of burning fire from their mouths.
Seeing these super-powered individuals attacking the Avengers tower so brazenly, the civilians that were simply passing by on their way to work or some other daily activity cleared out of the way as fast as they could.
The beams of fire hit the metal shutters, singing them black on contact and slowly melting the metal, though it would take a few moments as the metal was fairly thick and durable.
However, before that could happen, the cement pillars surrounding the building opened up, revealing countless turrets, which took aim at the building's attackers and unloaded all at once.
Suddenly, what appeared to be an infinite amount of bullets came flying in the attacker's direction with pinpoint accuracy that only a computer could pull off.
Without being able to react, each Extremis soldier was pelted with so many high-caliber bullets, that the sheer amount of damage began to overload their healing ability.
*Boom...boom...boom...*
One by one, they began to explode without any way of retaliation, as an overwhelming amount of force was used to decimate them as swiftly as possible.
Thankfully, the innocent civilians have already cleared the area, so no one was blown up alongside the Extremis soldiers.
As for the building itself, Tony isn't the type of person to cheap out on materials, so even though the front entrance took a significant amount of damage, the building wasn't in any danger whatsoever.
Within just a few moments, the entire suicide squad sent by Killian to level the whole building was completely obliterated by the built in defenses of the tower.
"Damn, that was impressive..." Peter commented from the side of the building.
"I know, right?" Tony says with a smug look as he hovers beside Peter in his Iron Man armor. "I never thought that those defenses would actually be put to use though."
Just as the smoke cleared on the final Extremis explosion, nothing of the suicide bombers bodies was left behind, though they did leave a mess for the Avengers to clean up.
The concrete flooring and stairs outside of the tower had small craters and spiderweb cracks all throughout, while all of the nearby greenery was pretty much destroyed or on fire at this very moment.
Even some of the supporting pillars outside of the building were destroyed, though the building could still easily stand without them.
They would be fixed soon enough anyway.
Only a few moments after the last explosion took place, police cars, ambulances, and fire trucks came pouring in, ready to help anywhere they could.
Turning to the side, Peter wanted to leave all of this to Tony, as it was technically his building, but the man himself had already flown away, leaving behind a fiery trail as he ditched all of the work onto Peter, as usual.
Sighing to himself, Peter dropped down and landed before all of the emergency vehicles, ready to spend the rest of his day dealing with the aftermath of this situation.

"..." Killian stared off into the distance with a dejected and frustrated look on his face.
Through body cameras, he and his high-level military advisors watched the outcome of their carefully planned two-prong attack on the Avengers Tower.
When the first one failed, they weren't too down about it, as it was mainly there to cause a distraction for the ground team to move into place and pretty much detonated themselves, taking down the building in the process.
Though that plan failed spectacularly as well, resulting in the current strained atmosphere between Killian and his men.
"Sir, maybe we should slowly pull our resources out of the country?" One of the more brave subordinates speaks his mind.
"Huh? Why would we do such a thing?" Killian asks, not liking that idea one bit.
"Well, I'm sorry if this upsets you, sir, but the Avengers are obviously out of our league. We either stay and slowly but surely lose our footing until our inevitable deaths, or we relocate and rebuild out of the sphere of the Avengers." He explains, receiving reluctant nods all around, though Killian remained unmoved.
"No, I refuse!" Killian spat out of anger. "I will not have all that I built brought down to nothing because of Tony F*cking Stark!"
Everyone looked around, unsure of how to handle their leader's outburst.
"Then what should we do?" One person asks the golden question.
"..." Everyone stayed silent, waiting for someone else to speak.
'Useless...' Killian thought venomously as he eyed his most skilled military advisors. "We double down! Speed up the process of any new recruits, gather every single soldier, and prepare for war. Once the Avengers are taken care of, we set our eyes on the government."
Hearing their leader's declaration, Killians advisors were shocked as they never expected his sights to be set so high.
Who would have expected this from a man who built his own super-powered army of fire breathers?
Truly shocking...
"Sir, I have no issue with your goals, but we may need some more time to prepare..." One man says with an uneasy look. "I do not doubt that with a carefully planned surprise attack we can take over this country easily, but the aftereffects of such an event will be hard to handle."
Taking over a nation isn't as easy as simply beating its army and seating someone into power. Firstly, the people of that nation may not agree to such an event and rise up, and secondly, foreign powers can always decide to take advantage of such a situation.
Whether that be by arming rebel groups in hopes of having a good relationship with the next government, or simply moving their own army in and taking the land and people for themselves.
"No, time is something that we no longer have the luxury of." Killian shakes his head stubbornly. "It's only a matter of time before the Avengers find our other facilities, this one included."
"..." Worried looks appeared on everyone's faces as they held their tongues, knowing that nothing they could say would sway their leader's decision.
War was on the horizon.

As Peter finished with the aftermath of the attack on Avengers Tower, he texted Fury to interrogate the captured helicopter pilots, and swiftly returned home to spend the rest of his day in leisure.
"Anyone home?!" Peter called out as he stepped inside, but didn't receive any replies.
On the counter in the kitchen was a plate of food as well as a note, stating that May was out with Grace. Just to be sure, Peter checks the tracking spell he has on all of his loved ones and found the two together at a nearby shopping mall.
MJ was at her house, probably still weirded out about staying over due to her father. Peter inwardly cursed Fury for his lack of female companionship.
'Maybe I'll watch some p*rn later...' Peter thought as he hadn't partaken in anything like that since MJ started staying over.
Knowing that everyone was alright, Peter decided to relax in his room and work on something that he hasn't had time for in a while.
'Which file has my AI stuff in it?' Peter thought as he browsed through his ghost laptop.
Seconds later, he found a file named 'BetterJarvis' and opened it up.
'Where was I again?'
