Natasha walked into the training room and frowned when she saw multiple dummies on the floor with their heads blown off. Kayla stood in the middle of the room muttering out curses and she tried to pull the glove off.

"Hey kid, how're you doing?" Natasha asked as she slowly approached Kayla.

Kayla turned to her and glared, "I'm doing pretty damn well!"

"Alright, alright, don't need to curse."

She sighed and fell to the floor, "I'm sorry, I just, I can't-"

"I know this is hard, there has been multiple times were my friends would turn into my enemies."

Kayla shook her head, "Why, why would she do it? Why would she join Ultron of all people?"

Natasha sat next to her and shrugged, "Could've been worse, she could've joined Loki."

Kayla smirked, "I don't think Val would join him, she would see him as a wimp. But she's been so different lately, maybe she would, I don't know."

"She's never acted weird like or anything?-"

"Well, we always did joke about how creepy she was. She'd always be making dark jokes and watching horror and slasher films. She'd even come home with bloody knuckles and bruises and cuts all over her. We tried to ask her about it but she'd never tell us anything, so at some point we just stopped asking."

Natasha hummed in response and then looked down at Kayla's glove, "Problems?"

Kayla held up her hand, "Yeah, I over heated the stupid thing and now I can't get it off."

"Well, we could always cut off your hand."

Kayla smirked, "I'm good, thanks."

Natasha shrugged, "If you say so, are you going to see Tony?"

She nodded, "Of course, why wouldn't I?"

"Well before I left I heard him and Steve start bickering."

"Aw the love birds are at it again," she teased before standing up, "I guess I'll go see what Tony's up to and see if he can't get this thing off."

Natasha stood up as well, "Right, I'll see you later."

"Okie dokie, bye Nat."

oOo

Ultron watched as Valerie curled up close to him, his arm curled around her body as he gently kissed her forehead. She hummed sleepily and nuzzled closer; he smirked and played with the tips of her hair. He started to think about the fight they had earlier, he was happy that she was trying to help but he was just worried that one day she'll be walking down the sidewalk or an ally and someone will come up and do something to her.

He kept debating that if Tony was actually having a party if he should send Valerie to crash it or not. He wanted to stay out of sight for now, he wanted them to focus on Valerie and when they had her back to the wall he would come in and destroy them. Some would say he was using her as bait, and yeah, he sort of was, but that didn't mean he still didn't care for her. If he did send her he'd be sure to keep a close eye on her just in case something happens.

Valerie stirred in her sleep and slowly opened her eyes, "Hey, Ultron."

He looked back down at her and grinned, "Good morning dearest."

She gave him a puzzled look, "Well someone's happy."

He chuckled softly and kissed her forehead, "What would do you want me to call you then?"

"Just Valerie or Val for now," she said with a yawn as she sat up and stretched, "So you got a plan?"

"Did you figure out if Tony is having a party?"

"I think that they're doing something put I'm not positive it's a party."

Ultron nodded, "Well, if it is a party, mind crashing it?"

Valerie's eyes widened and she sat up quickly, "Are you kidding, I'd love to!"

He smirked, "I haven't seen you this excited since last night."

She rolled her eyes, "Yeah, yeah, shut up," she said as she swung her legs over the bed, she looked back at Ultron.

He sighed, "Seriously?"

"Oh c'mon, please."

He sighed again and turned his head away as she got up and threw on her clothes. Before she got her shirt on he turned and looked at her back, she still had the burn marks she got when she used her power. As much as the power was useful to him he knew that if he wanted her alive he needed to take it away.

"Stop staring at them," Valerie said as she pulled her shirt down.

Ultron stood up, "Sorry, I couldn't help it."

She turned to him and shrugged, "I never really thanked you for 'saving' me."

He rested his hand on the top of her head, "Think nothing of it!"

Valerie grinned and pulled his hand off her head, "So, how should I crash the party?"

oOo

"Tony!" Kayla whined playfully, "I overheated my glove!"

Tony looked up from what he was working on and shook his head, "I warned you about that."

"I know but I was bad and didn't listen, would you pwease take it off?" She asked in a pouting tone.

Tony shook his head again, "Nah, you did it, you take it off."

She crossed her arms, "Wow, you are the sweetest person I ever met. But fine, if you're going to be a big baby about it, I'll do it myself!"

He watched as she grabbed a screwdriver that sat on the table and wedged it between the skin of her wrist and the glove. She pushed in up as hard as she could, Tony stood up and was about to help her when all of the sudden she yelped. The screwdriver fell to the ground and she gripped her wrist, Tony ran over and cradled her wrist in his hand. He froze when he saw blood crawling up from the top of the glove.

Tony grabbed a device from the counter and attached it onto the glove, Kayla yelped again as a shock of electricity ran though her. The glove fell to the ground and Tony pulled her to the table and sat her down. He grabbed the med kit and began to clean and dress the wound.

"So what's up with you and Steve?"

Tony looked up at her and shrugged, "Just not getting along as usual."

"He mad about the party you were talking about?"

"No, he's mad because of us always hanging out."

She cocked her head, "Why?"

"I don't know, maybe it's because I'm a bad influence or something."

Kayla scoffed, "Nah, Valerie was a worse influence. She'd be drinking and sometimes smoking, hell, she's the one who told me that if someone starts picking on you, punch then in the face."

"Did you?"

She nodded, "Yeah a couple times, Cassy would be mad and Valerie would be proud. What about you, did you ever get in trouble at school for fighting?"

He shook his head, "Not really, once in a while but I mainly got in trouble for skipping class or making out with some girl in the hallway, which you don't need to be doing that."

"What, making out with some person in the hallway?"

Tony nodded and closed the med kit, "Yeah, it'll get you into trouble."

"Like sexually or-"

"Kayla," Tony said turning to her, "I'm being serious about this."

She gave him a confused look, "Why would you care?"

He shrugged, "I just don't want some bastard to go and hurt you."

Kayla sighed, "Yeah, well, Valerie already did by leaving so…"

Tony frowned, "I know Kayla."
