-Authors Note: IM BACK BITCHES! Sorry I've been gone for a bit, I hoped my last chapter was good for you guys. Had a bit of a block too. I love you guys. Sorry if this chapter seems rushed...-
Iris's Point of View!
Warning Spoilers and (maybe) Lemons!
The Virus and Its Cure
How could he do this to me? He has basically set me up as a traitor. I hate him so much, but my heart aches every time I think about it. Ultron is a lying, manipulative, evil prick... And yet I have to suffer for it. As soon as everyone finds out, I'm finished, they would never trust me. I'll be an outcast. My life will be stripped from me. All because he used me.
And I let him...
...
What have I done?... Here I am, covered head to toe in dirt and blood. My own blood to be specific. I'm laying in a helicarrier, staring up at the sky with hundreds of people around me. Most were crying and trying to understand why this had happened to them. My leg was most definitely dislocated and my arm... We won't mention that or where it ended up.
Pietro. Oh god he's beside me. I reach out and my fingers brush his still hand. Could I have saved him? No, he made his choice. Knowing the cause of his death still brought hot tears to my eyes and the dripped from my eyes and stung the cut on my cheek. What's worse is even though his death made me more angry and sad than I've been in a long time, that's not what broke my heart the most.
Ultron was gone.
I witnessed everything and it keeps replaying in my head. A broken record that no one will fix, even though I love the song. I should feel rage for the pain he inflicted, but it wasn't quite his fault. It was mine.
...
[Two days prior]
I'm not sure if I'd be a good mother, I felt like I would. I adore children and my mother gave me a pretty good idea of what to do. Will the child love me in return? It doesn't matter who the father is, human or psychopathic murder machine, this is my baby. Mine. They will come first no matter what happens. It's not like I can't afford it. I could buy my own house. Maybe get a dog! Do babies like dogs?
"Iris! You zoned out for a bit, is something wrong? Is it Ultron? We know he's going to see Helen, we will get him." Natasha has been a little nicer lately. I believe it has something to do with her and Banner sharing a certain kiss. It doesn't take a genius to figure out something happened between them. I find it rather cute. Banner could use a girlfriend.
"Yeah, sorry. I've had a lot on my mind... I still don't understand how he will evolve, can't he add on to his form with more metal?"
"I don't think he's wanting metal."
I stare at her and bite my lip at the idea. Skin. He wants a human body? Who knows what he could do with it. Would it truly look human?
Dammit I ask myself too many questions. It's making me go even more insane than I already am. If that's even possible.
"Iris!"
Jesus her voice is shrill sometimes...
"Yes? Sorry, what did you say?" She looked at me annoyed I wasn't paying attention, but she quickly got over it. "We are here. Helen is in that building." She points to it and suddenly there is a loud bang, but inside the building. We rush to land and head inside. We find Helen on the floor up against her equipment holding her chest and stomach. Not going to lie, it was bad. She needs medical treatment fast.
"The cradle..." She looks at us and my heart skips a beat. I haven't run so fast in my life. I make my way out of the building and hop on someone's motorcycle which was already started up. I'll return it later. I can hear Clint through my ear piece as he locates Ultron and the cradle. I have questions and I definitely am getting answers. I rev up the bike and make my way to the truck. My chest started to ache and my vision started blurring from hot tears. Once I got my answers, I will do it.
I will kill him myself. I deserve that right.
...
Natasha... He took her. I knew Clint would find her, but I felt like it was my fault. He won't hurt her. I can feel it. He had lost the trust and company of the twins, he'll want to keep her around. Not only that, but he saw me. The blind rage and agony I lashed out at him. It hurt him. He knows I hate wha he has done. Once we had gotten the cradle, he just like owed at me.
"Why?"
I wanted to cry and have him hold me. To scream that I need him. He caused all this mistrust. He ruined everything. How dare he ask why...
I wipe a tear threatening to slide down my face and stare down at the cradle. Tony had come up with the idea to put JARVIS in. I should hate the plan, but it was all we had and I think it will work. Ultron's creation will become our ally. Banner started working on powering it up when the others walked in. Including the twins. All hell broke loose and I instinctively threw myself over the cradle, trying my best to protect it. After that I was thrown back by bursts of electricity. Lightning. Thor had hit it with his hammer and the power rose dramatically. Too much power would cause an overload.
The opening exploded off and out came this heavenly creature. Reddish purple skin that had looked like it was carved from colored marble. He was beautiful. I sound like an idiot, but it's true. He's thrown back but catches himself in the air rather gracefully. I watch as he stares at his reflection on the glass windows of the building and a green suit appears, etching over his body. Continuing to watch, he lands and a golden cape materializes behind him. How is he so perfect? Oh my god his voice is even more so. There is no way he could be Ultron.
"I am not Ultron."
Oh Hun, I know.
...
Back to where we began. Where was I? Oh right, bleeding out in the helicarrier. I knew when Ultron was gone. I could feel it and just knew. Vision had done it. Killed him. Destroyed him. He's gone. What's touching me?
My eyes wander up and I see a red being. Vision. So, he had taken the time to get on a boat. Only now do I realize I'm in his arms and he's trying to stop the bleeding. His blue eyes fix on my brown ones and it dawns on me. He knows. I can't hold back anymore and I start bawling. He must have been surprised and wanted to calm me so he lifted me up more and brought me into an embrace, which I excepted by hugging him and crying onto his chest.
[1 year later]
They turned out so beautiful. Two twins. A boy and a girl. I had them a few months back and I have never felt so much love for two creatures in my life. The girl, Spade, had white metallic colored hair and red eyes. She had a temper when cranky and loved to play with technology. Which she would drain the life out of. The boy, Jamie, was much different. He had black hair with brown eyes. From the moment he was born, he was quiet and shy. He adored his sister and became upset if he wasn't near her. Whenever I looked at them, I didn't see the children of a murderer, I saw innocence. Something I didn't think they'd have.
I smile as I tuck them into their cribs and walk out onto my balcony. The team was shocked when I told them. I couldn't have done it without Vision with me. He has become my greatest friend. Someone who understands and cares. He helped me all throughout my pregnancy, never once leaving me. Natasha was thrilled about having a baby around. Steve wasn't to happy at first but grew to except it. Tony... Well that was embarrassing since he asked me about Ultron having genitalia. Clint was overall happy for me. They all were happy. I had found something to love.
It was cold out tonight, so I wore a sweater and looked over the city. We had saved earth a second time and everyone just went back to their original lives. Which is good. Humans always bounce back. No matter what comes their way. Looking down, I reach into my pocket and pull something out. A rectangular device with two words written on it. A flash drive.
Ultron Program.
