The mission was a disaster. They'd traced Klaue to a shipyard; though shipyard was a generous term. Klaue's operation was basically large ships on the Wakandan beach. They had gotten in easily…too easily. The reason for which, they discovered a few minutes later.

"Be advised." Steve said softly into the comms. "Ultron beat us here. And he's got help." He paused. "The Maximoffs are with him."

Felicity's eyes grew wide. She was 3 decks above Steve. She moved as close to the railing as she could without compromising her positon. She could see Ultron and Tony exchanging words. And behind Ultron were both Pietro and Wanda.

"The two of you can still walk away from this." Steve said to the twins. "I know you've both suffered. "

Listen to him. Felicity pleaded silently. It seemed that Wanda twitched. Maybe she'd heard? Then another piece of jumbled puzzle in her head fell to place. She remembered Pietro telling her about his and Wanda's parents. How they'd been killed by a missile with Stark's name on it and that it was why they'd volunteered for Strucker's experiments. They were standing with Ultron because he wanted to hurt Tony.

She couldn't tell who struck first, but suddenly Ultron and Tony were fighting. She swung down, watching Steve's back. Grabbing her staff, she swung at any robot which made the mistake of coming too close. Those that were far range, she took out with her throwing stars. Clint was 2 decks above her on the opposite side of the ship, picking off targets. Natasha was below. Steve and Thor were smashing and beating everything that came too close. Felicity caught sight of a robot which was coming up behind Steve. He hadn't noticed it yet. She tossed her star, hitting the robot right in the throat. The star let out a jolt of electricity and the robot fell to pieces.

"Nice shot, Smoak." Clint said. "That's some ace marksmanship." She looked up to see him give her a wink before shooting an advancing robot.

Pietro was whizzing around the ship, but he hadn't come up to her level. She wasn't sure whether it was deliberate, or whether he just didn't know she was up there. Then he attacked Steve, causing him to fall to the ground. She was about to go to him when she heard something. One of the robots, which had flown next to Wanda said; "time to play some mind games." She watched as Wanda slipped into the shadows. A few minutes later her suspicions as to what Wanda was doing where confirmed when Thor patched in.

"Have care, the girl tried to invade my mind. Fortunately, I am mighty."

From where she was standing, Felicity could see him. His eyes went glassy and were tinged with red; the god of thunder had been brought low by Wanda's power. Felicity could see the red light surrounding Natasha and she suddenly knew that Steve was next. Looking around desperately she saw him 2 decks directly below her. Wanda was moving again, Pietro was gearing up to run. Felicity saw the tactic they would use. Pietro would push Steve, knocking him over where he would be helplessly exposed to Wanda's influence.

"No." she said. Jumping over the railing, she hoped she'd moved fast enough. Pietro had just begun running at Steve when she landed in front of him. His eyes widened as he tried to back pedal, but for the first time, he just wasn't fast enough. He slammed into her, sending her flying into Steve. Both of them tumbled back, her on top of him. The bolt of power Wanda had prepared for Steve hit her instead.

"Felicity." Steve said in horror. She took a shuddering gasp. The last thing she saw was his worried expression coupled with the twins' looks of horror and guilt. Then the world went red.

"What did you do to her?" Steve shouted at Wanda. He was clutching Felicity's body against him. She was shuddering, her eyes wide, unseeing. Pietro looked as though he wanted to rip her away from him, but Steve held her tight. The young Maximoff girl looked at him, her eyes filled with pain.

"That was meant for you." Wanda said. "I didn't know she was there…it was meant for you."

"FIX IT." Steve shouted.

"I…I can't." Wanda said. Her eyes glowed red. Steve realized that whatever Felicity, Thor and Natasha were seeing, Wanda was seeing too.

Pietro grabbed his sister and rushed out of the boat. Tony radioed in a minute later. "Ultron got away with the goods. Do any of you copy?"

"This is Rogers, most of the team have been whammied." Steve watched Clint go down to try and coax Natasha to follow him. Felicity was out cold and Thor was standing frozen with his vision. "We'll rendezvous as soon as we can."

"Daddy." Felicity cried out suddenly, tears falling from her eyes. "Please."

He looked down at her, unable to imagine what she might be seeing. Her eyes were glowing red with Wanda's spell. Steve felt a rush of guilt. She'd already suffered so much, and now, because she had tried to protect him, she was suffering even more.

"I'm sorry." He murmured. "I'll make it stop, I…" Feeling helpless, he fell silent and picked her up to make his way back to the quinjet.

Pietro was fuming. Wanda was shaking, weakened by the effort of sustaining the 3 simultaneous visions. Pietro glared back at the boat. Putting Wanda down behind a tree outside he turned to go back. "I'm taking her with us." He growled. "Even if I have to rip her from Captain America's hands."

Wanda grabbed his arm.

"She's protecting Stark." Pietro hissed. "You said you saw the three of us reunited. What you failed to mention was that she would be siding with the man who murdered our parents. She's being used"

"Pietro." Wanda said, tears in her eyes. Pietro's angry expression softened.

"What do you see?" He murmured.

Wanda shuddered. "I…I think we might have been wrong." She said. "About all of them." She closed her eyes. "They are so broken. They want to help people. They…" She had tears welling up in her eyes. "Felicity." She whispered. "I'm so sorry."

"Let me get her." Pietro said.

"No." Wanda said forcefully. "She's safer where she is…if there are any real safe places left." She frowned. "I need to understand more about Ultron's plan."
