Steve made his way through the facility, finding bodies laying in Helen's office.
"Dr. Cho," Steve said, rushing over to her.
"He's uploading himself into the body," she panted.
"Where?" She shook her head and Steve went to stand, but she caught his hand.
"The real power is inside the cradle. The gem... Its power is uncontainable. You can't just blow it up. You have to get the cradle to Stark."
"First i have to find it."
"Go."
Steve checked in with Clint and Natasha."Did you guys copy that?"
"We did."
"I got a private jet taking off across town," Natasha offered. "No manifest. That could be him."
"There. It's a truck from the lab. Right above you, Cap. On the loop by the bridge."
"It's them," he confirmed as he scanned it. "You got three with the cradle, one in the cab. I could take out the driver."
"Negative. That truck crashes, the gem could level the city."
"We need to draw out Ultron," he told them as he ran towards the bridge. He reached the level above where the truck was traveling. He jumped off the side of the bridge, landing on top of the truck. Steve rolled to the back and off the edge, holding onto the left door. It suddenly swung open after Ultron shot at it from the inside.
"Leave me alone!" Ultron shouted from inside as he blasted the door, it swung to the side, smashing Steve between the truck and the door. He kicked off of the side, going back to the middle before the door was shot off of the truck.
"Well, he's definitely unhappy. We'll try to keep him that way," Steve said as he held onto the ramp that had fallen and scraped along the road as it continued to drive.
"You're not a match for him, Cap. Even with both of you," Clint warned.
"Thanks, Barton," he let out sarcastically.
Ultron shot at Steve and he was launched onto the car following them. The soilder quickly leaping from the car onto a truck then jumping back onto of the main truck.
"You know what's in that cradle?" Ultron flew out truck and to Steve's level as he ping his hand at him.
Steve quickly pulled out his shield, blocking a beam sent towards him. "The power to make real change, and that terrifies you" ultron mocked.
"Well I wouldn't call it a comfort" Steve retorted as he engaged in a battle with ultron. The soilder losing his shield and almost being thrown off of the truck.
Natasha hearing the commotion through her comma drops out of the jet, riding a motorcycle towards the battle.
"I'm always picking up after you boys," Natasha said as she rode the motorcycle down the street, grabbing Steve's shield as she tried to catch up with them.
She quickly pulled up in time after receiving a shortcut from Clint, only to Steve being choked by ultron on the ledge of the truck. She threw the shield to cap allowing him to resume the battle with ultron.
As ultron was about to blast Steve, Clint came in shooting him with jet prompting his ultron bots to engage in an air battle with Steve.
_____________________________________
The maximoff twins were standing in the street watching the news, Danny however didn't pay it much mind as he picked at his cinnamon roll.
"We have to help them piet—"
"No wanda!"
"But pietro they need us! We helped ultron.....now it's time we help them." She stared at her brother sadly.
Pietro glared at his twin sister before sighing and turned to Danny. "Leave the food. We're leaving". The little boy stared at his brother as if he just said the dumbest thing ever. "What? Why!"
"Because I said so and we have some fixing to do!" Pietro said harshly as he smacked the cinnamon roll away from Danny, the boy looking at him in betrayal.
"You are truly a bully!" The boy whined as he kicked at the dirt.
Pietro gave him a shit eating victory grin before grabbing his siblings and speeding off.
Ultron had thrown Steve and himself into a nearby train speeding past them.
"I'm going in," Natasha reported about the cradle. "Cap, can you keep him occupied?"
"What do you think I've been doing?" he panted, standing up.
Natasha made it inside the truck disconnecting the cradle from ultron, unaware that his bots were picking the truck up as a whole.
"Package is airborne. I have a clean shot." Clint voiced.
"Negative, I'm still in the truck"
"What the hell are you doing in the—"
"Just be ready I'm sending the package to you" she cut him off as she began to cut the straps holding down the cradle.
"How do you want me to take it?"
"Uhh you might wanna wish you hadn't asked that" she joked, still cutting the straps.
Ultron caught Steve, pushing him up against a wall and punching him until a blue blur rushed past throwing ultron off of Steve, Pietro standing on the other side of the train car. Ultron started to walk towards him before two rails were crossed in front of him, a red hue around them. "Please," Ultron looked between the twins, "don't do this."
"What choice do we have?" Wanda asked. Danny silently staring at ultron from behind her.
He looked at them for a moment before raising his hand and firing at the front window where Pietro stood. A large hole was blasted in the front of the train, Pietro barely missing it, and Ultron flew out.
"I lost him!" Steve told the team as he rushed through the hole to find the conductor dead and the train barreling towards the end of the track.
"Nat we gotta go" Clint reported as he leveled the jet behind the flying crate Natasha was stuck in. The woman cutting the last strap and placing down a sticky bomb, setting it before jumping on the cradle and falling out with it.
But before she could land inside the jet with the cradle ultron yanked her and flew away as the crate blew up.
"Nat!" Clint shouted.
The train went off the rails and into the city, startling the passengers as it shook and rocked.
"Cap! see Nat?" Clint asked.
"If you have the package, get it to Stark!" Steve ordered. "Go!"
"Do you have eyes on Nat?"
"Go!"
Clint reluctantly sped off in the jet.
Pietro walked over to his siblings, inspecting the two as Danny held on to Wanda. The three whispering to each other.
Steve turned to the three. "there are civilians in our path" he said to the siblings.
pietro understood immidiately and rushed out. "can you stop this thing?" steve asked
wanda stared at the man for a moment, closing her eyes and nodding as she nudged her little brother towards the captain. Pietro already rushing and moving civilians away
Danny hesitantly walked towards the captain who was looking at him. The little boy just ignored his gaze as he stopped next to the soilder, locking his larger hand into his smaller one.
Steve looked at the boy before looking up to see debris smashing through the windows about to hit a civilian. Without hesitation the man snatch his hand away from Danny and threw up his shield to block the debris.
The soilder stared with wide eyes as the train was about to come crashing through a building, prompting the man to swiftly put up shield, blocking the smaller pieces of debris.
Danny stared in awe at the hero, gasping as a large piece of debris hit the man sending him flying into the little one. The boy grunted as the captain got back up and helped him up after inspecting him.
Wanda stared at her brother in worry before shaking her head and throwing her hands towards the ground, her scarlet whisp engulfing the trains rails trying to stop it.
The train destroyed multiple things, while wanda used her abilities to get it to stop. it took her a few seconds, but it worked. the train coming to a halt in the midde of a street. wanda and danny rushed out to pietro, who was breathing heavily. they both watched him concerned.
"i'm fine" he dismissed. "i just need to take a minute" he took a seat as Danny stared at him in worry.
"i'm very tempted not to give you one" steve made his way towards the siblings.
"the cradle. did you get it?" wanda asked "stark will take care of it" steve assured. "no he won't" wanda shook her head.
"you don't know what you're talking about, stark's not crazy" steve answered
"he will do anything to make things right"
Steve stared at the girl feeling as though maybe she was right. "stark, come in" he spoke into the comms. "stark" he sighed "anyone on comms"
"ultron can't tell the difference between saving the world and destroying it"
Pietro brought Danny into his arms and adjusted his chin on the top of his head. steve turned around. "where do you think he gets that".
_____________________________________
Some time After, Dani'il followed his siblings and steve into the laboratory in which stark and banner were working.
Danny held pietros hand while he stood inbetween his siblings. "you have got to upload that schematic in the next three minutes" banner told stark
steve stepped forward. "I'm going to say this once"
"how about none-ce?" stark interrupted him
"shut it down"
stark turned away while continuing his work. "nope, not gonna happen"
"you don't know what you're doing" steve tried to reason
banner seemed uninterested, he stood his ground, which seemed uncharacteristic for him. "and you do?" he gestured towards wanda. "she's not in your head?"
wanda stepped forward from behind steve. "i know you're angry" she tried to apologise
"oh, we're way past that. i could choke the life out of you and never change a shade"
Danny grabbed Wanda's hand as he shook in fear, remembering the green beast that man could turn into!
"banner, after everything that's happened" steve appealed again
"its nothing compared to what's coming" tony joined back into the conversation
Pietro just rolled his eyes, while the screaming and fighting continued.
"you don't know what's in there" said wanda. steve backing her words "this isn't a game!"
pietro took his hand from danny and ran around the room in superspeed, confused eyes following his every move.
He stopped. he had unplugged the machine. "no no, go on" he threw away the cable. "you were saying?"
Danny stared at his brother in confusion, but that soon turned into worry as a gunshot rang out and his brother fell down into the room beneath them. a shot destroying the glass he was standing on.
"pietro/Brother!" both him and wanda screamed while rushing forward
Barton stepped on pietros leg. "what?" he asked "you didn't see that coming?"
at the same time, somehow the machine was beginning to work again.
"I'm rerouting the upload" said stark
steve threw his shield to stop the man, but he was answered with stark using part of his iron man suit to shoot him off the ground.
banner took wanda into chokehold. "go ahead, piss me off"
Steve quickly got back up and rushed towards Tony who just called his chest plate part onto himself. Clint ran up the stairs clocking his gun.
Danny stared at his sister and Bruce, unsure of what to do until his sister lifted her hand and shot her red wisp through herself and into Bruce's chest, knocking him away from her. The girl turning around to push him back even further.
while all that was going on, thor rushed into the room and jumped onto the machine.
he raised his arm and thunder displayed around his hammer.
"Wanda!" Danny screamed before running to his sister and hugging her, engulfing the two into his force fields.
"wait!" screamed banner. but to no appeal. thor pushed the hammer down on the cradle, giving it the energy it was needing.
the cradle exploded and thor was thrown back. Danny closed his eyes in fear and to shield them from the brightness.
on the cradle stood a red body. it seemed to be a mix between human and robot.
the red man stood up to his full height an then suddenly attacked thor, who threw him through the glass window easily.
the man stopped his fall, before he could break through the glass window. he seemed to look at himself in it.
Danny dissolved his shield before Wanda grabbed his hand and led him to follow the avengers downstairs towards the new comer. Pietro speeding to their side.
the man had now dressed himself. "I am sorry" he said "that was.." he hesitated "odd"
"thank you" he said to thor, copying his cape. Danny snorted at this but quickly slapped a hand over his mouth as pietro nudged his head.
"thor" said steve. "you helped create this?"
"I've had a vision. a whirlpool that sucks in all hope of life and it's center is that" thor pointed to the yellow shining stone at the red man's head.
"what, the gem?" banner stepped forward
"it's the mind stone. it's one of the six infinity stones. the greatest power in the universe, unparalleled in its destructive capabilities"
"then why would you bring.." steve started, but was interrupted by thor
"because stark is right"
"oh it's definitely the end times" banner spoke.
"the avengers cannot defeat ultron"
"not alone"
"why does your vision sound like jarvis?" steve asked
"Who's Jarvis?" Danny looked around at everyone in confusion.
"A more nicer version of ultron." banner summed up. The little boy making an o sound.
"we reconfigured jarvis's matrix, to create something new" stark explained
"i think I've had my fill of new"
"you think I'm a child of ultron" The red man—Jarvis—-the robot! said.
"you're not?"
"I'm not ultron. I'm not jarvis... I am. I am"
"I looked in your head" wanda stepped forward "and saw annihilation"
"look again"
Barton scoffed and came closer. "her seal of approval means jack to me"
"their powers, the horrors in our heads, ultron himself, they all came from the mind stone. And they're nothing compared to what it can unleash, but with it on our side.." thor said
"is it?" steve wondered. he turned to the man "are you? on our side"
"I don't think it's that simple"
"Well, it better get real simple real soon"
"I am on the side of life, ultron isn't. he will end it all"
"what's he waiting for?" stark asked
"you"
"where?"
instead of the robot man, barton answered this time "sokovia, he's got Nat there, too"
"if we're wrong about you, if you're the monster that ultron made you to be.." banner hesitated
"what will you do?"
silence erupted, no one had an answer for that question.
"I don't want to kill ultron. he's unique and he's in pain but that pain will roll over the earth. so, he must be destroyed. every form he has built, every trace of his presence on the net, we have to act now and not one of us, can do it without the others. maybe I am a monster, I don't think I'd know if I were one. I'm not what you are and not what you intended. so, there may be no way to make you trust me, but we need to go"
he turned around and held the hammer in thors direction. everyone's eyes grew wide. confusion on everyone's faces
"Alright" thor said "well done" he patted banners shoulder before he walked away.
"three minutes. get what you need."
Danny sat behind wanda, who looked at the vision and thor outside. Pietro was changing his clothes and shoes. Danny had to keep on the clothes he had since the avengers didn't have any children's clothes laying around, it consisted of a long sleeve lavenderish grey shirt, black overalls and dirty black n white chucks.
As Danny was fiddling with his shoe laces, Pietro picked up a red leather jacket and threw it at wanda.
"Ahh I want a jacket! Im gonna be cold!" Danny whined as he fake shivered.
Pietro just ignored his little brothers antics earning a loud sigh from the boy.
_____________________________________
Danny layed on two seats, his head on wandas lap as she put the comm on his ear and hers. He had to catch some sleep, his body feeling heavy, He had to have A-1 focus while protecting his siblings. He wouldn't ever forgive himself if he let one of them get hurt or worse...
"This is a lot to deal with....." Danny broke the silence staring at the ground.
"Huh?" Pietro stated at the boy.
"Having to fight such scary beings—-things.."
"What are you talking about Dani'il?" wanda asked concerned.
"We have to help protect the people from ultron, but, who's going to protect us?"
"You are little brother" Pietro chuckled, tapping Danny's chucks.
"But what if I can't? Then what? Who's going to protect you two?" The little boy said shakily as a tear fell on Wanda's leg.
"Danny." Pietros voice was firm. Breaking the boys gaze as he now looked at his older brother who was now kneeling infront of him.
"Stop worrying about us and protect yourself!"
The boy stared at his brothers as tears graced his face. "Promise me Danny...Promise me that no matter what me and Wanda are doing, if it seems too much for you Protect.Your.Self" the boy just slowly nodded at his brothers.
Pietro stuck up his pinky to the boy. "Promise me" he pleaded.
Danny wrapped his own pinky around his brother's "I promise. "Good then." Pietro chuckled before standing up and putting his comm on as Danny used his sleeve to wipe his tears. Wanda stared at her brother in worry before patting his head.
"It'll be alright Dan. Just trust us." Wanda whispered to her brother who only nodded in response.
a few minutes before they landed, steve held his final speech.
"ultron knows we're coming. odds are we'll be riding into heavy fire. and that's what we signed up for. but the people of sokovia, they didn't. so our priority is getting them out. all they want is to live their lives in peace. and that's not gonna happen today. but we can do our best to protect them. and we can get the job done. we find out, what ultrons been building, we find romanoff and we clear the field. keep the fight between us. ultron thinks we're monsters. that were what's wrong with the world. this isn't just about beating him, it's about wether he's right."
They landed and quickly began to get to work.
Pietro sped into the sokovia police station. "We're under attack, clear the city. Now!" Everyone looking at him uninterested. The speedster speeding off after the warning, everyone going back to what they were doing prompting the speedster to zoom back in with a rifle shooting up the roof. "Get off your asses!" He ordered before running back out.
Danny stood in the center of the town with his sister, watching her send out her red wisp out into the city as far as she could. The girl controlling anyone the whisp touch, making them leave for safety.
"That's so cool.." Danny mumbled in awe at his sisters powers.
