"You will all fall!" Rob shouted as Ultron's drones fired down upon the team distracting them long enough for Rob to get airborne.
"Rob!" Wanda cried out as she started destroying drones.
Rob ignored her cry as he focused on Bucky. Flying down and attempting to get in a few hits, Iron man intercepted him and engaged him in the air.
"I'm sorry Rob! I failed you! Just please stop this and turn yourself in!" Tony yelled as he and Rob flew around taking shots at one another.
"You will fall Tony just like your parents." Rob smirked as Tony attacked him with more ferocity after that. "Once you die then the Rouges will rise." Rob smiled as tony cocked his head confused. Suddenly tony was thrown to the ground as Venom used his webs to drag him down.
Rob seeing his advantage rushed down and delivered a devastating dropkick to Tony's head. Venom, seeing that Rob was once again in control of the fight turned around and faced Hawkeye who noticed Venom's gaze.
"I don't believe we have met yet." Clint stated nervously.
"hehehe." Venom chuckled revealing his sharp fangs as he advanced on the archer.
*Back with Rob*
Once Tony regained his feet he was assaulted by punches from rob who was using his jetpack to propel him forward and deliver harder punches. "Die Stark!" Rob roared as he grabbed Tony by the throat, raised him in the air and slammed him into the ground. Air rushed out of Tony's lungs as he was forced into the ground. Alarms blared in his helmet as he tried to regain focus only for his face to meet Rob's boot.
"You are weak old man! I guess legends do die." Rob laughed as he continued to stop on Tony's head. Suddenly he was ripped away from Tony and thrown back into a house. When he looked up he saw a teary eyed Wanda. "Out of the way Wanda. I don't want to hurt you." Rob grunted as he picked himself up.
"I can't let you hurt anyone else." Wanda sobbed out as she once again used her powers to force Rob into the ground.
*With venom*
Clint had made his bow into a staff and was trying to avoid Venom's webs. "I need a new weapon." He grunted as Venom moved in swiftly, delivering a punch to the gut and sending Clint back a few feet.
"You are weak Archer." Venom laughed. "You are not worthy of the title Avenger." Venom stepped forward, grabbed Clint's Neck and raised him off the ground. "You will not see tomorrow." Venom smirked before screeching in pain as an electric shock shot through his veins. This caused venom to release Clint who rolled away and grabbed his staff.
Natasha, seeing her friend free, jumped on Venom's back and started punching his face with Brass knuckles. Clint then rejoined the fight and used his staff to keep Venom off balance. "Just like old times, huh Barton." Natasha chuckled.
"We really don't remember the same past." Clint mumbled.
Venom by this point was getting frustrated and jumped into the air to escape Clint. Natasha who didn't expect this lost her balance which allowed Venom to grab her hair and throw her away. When he landed he snarled at them both. "You will both die slowly."
"WE shall see about that." Clint smirked as Natasha drew her own side arms.
*With Steve and Bucky*
"Are you back with us?" Steve asked as he deflected more shots from the drones.
"Yeah." Bucky groaned. Blood oozed out of his wounds and with only one arm, he was struggling to stand. If it wasn't for vision and Falcon in the air then they would have lost already.
"We need to end this fast and get out of here." Steve muttered as he noticed tanks rolling up.
"Any ideas?" Bucky asked.
"Not yet."
*back with Rob*
"I don't want to hurt but if you stand in my way I will." Rob glared at Wanda.
"Please stop Rob. I don't want to hurt you anymore than I already have." Wanda stated.
Suddenly a few drones attacked Wanda causing her to raise a shield around her. Taking the opportunity a drone landed near Rob. "Get out of here, this isn't where we have our final showdown."
"No, this ends here Ultron." Rob growled.
"I didn't send enough drones to take them out. Get back to base." With that said the drone left to continue its own attack.
"grrr." Rob growled as he noticed Tony fighting drones. He was about to move in for the kill when Wanda spoke up.
"Is this what your mother would want from you?" Wanda yelled out. "Would she want you to kill us?"
Rob hesitated and Cortana saw her chance to help her friend and boss. "Remember who you are." Rob froze when he heard his mother's voice. "I recorded your entire conversation with her. So please Robert, Remember who you are." Cortana spoke in a soothing voice and Rob just lowered his head. Throughout the fight his head had begun t lose the pain, hate and anger and replaced it with common sense to fight. Hearing his mother's voice caused most of his anger to wash away and a sense of regret to fill his mind.
'My mother wanted me to stop Ultron not help him. And here I am helping him.' Rob looked around and saw Venom holding off Natasha and Clint.
"It's not too late for you Rob, we will welcome you back with open arms." Wanda pleaded again.
Rob looked around and saw the drones dwindling and the Tanks lining up shots. "Venom! We are leaving!" Rob yelled out, to which Venom nodded and broke away from Natasha and Clint. Rob looked over at Wanda and nodded his head before he let his active camo cover him.
Wanda smiled in relief as she saw Rob flee the field. And now solely focused on destroying the remaining drones. Once they were all dead, Steve rounded up his team members and they too fled in their jet before the military could capture them.
*Few minutes later with Wanda*
"So I guess we can't rely on Rob to provide us with the coordinates to Ultron's base now." Flacon sighed.
"We can always find another way." Steve spoke up as he patched up Bucky.
"I wouldn't be too sure one that. He is still with us." Wanda spoke up.
"How can you be sure?" Clint asked.
"Because I know him better than anyone." Wanda had a small smile on her face as she remembered Rob's change of heart in the battle.
"I'm going to have to have the talk with him when this is all over then." Wanda heard Clint mutter and just giggled.
*With Rob back at Ultron's headquarters*
"Shall I send Wanda the signal?" Cortana asked.
"Not yet. I need you to see if Ultron did take over the Winter Soldier before I bring them here." Rob stated as he sat inside his room.
"Got it. Would you like me to see what Ultron is doing?" Cortana asked.
"Yeah, go ahead, just don't get caught. I would rather avoid punishment." Rob nodded.
'Deathstroke, Venom, report to the conference room for a debriefing.' He heard Ultron's voice over the loudspeaker and groaned.
"Keep looking those things up while I deal with the big man." Rob sighed as he got up.
*in conference room*
"What do you need Ultron?" Venom asked.
"I need you two to guard this outpost while I finish prepping the payload." Ultron replied.
"What's the pay load?" Rob asked.
"This time I am making bombs. Not Nuclear, but still really big bombs. The world will heel and the Avengers will fall when we are done." Ultron smirked. Venom smiled as well while Rob frowned behind his mask.
"When does this begin?" Rob asked.
"We start the final plan tomorrow. So get some rest you two. We are going to have to be at our best for this. Dismissed." Ultron stated before leaving the room.
"So what's the plan brother? I'm sorry about your mother." Venom turned towards Rob.
"Thanks, as for the plan, we contact the Avengers and watch them and Ultron kill each other." Rob sighed. "Unless Cortana finds information condemning Ultron for the death of me mother we won't interfere." Venom nodded and they left to return to their quarters.
*With Wanda*
"SO did he send anything yet?" Ant-man asked as he walked into Barton's living room.
"Nothing yet." Wanda sighed.
"I'm sure he will send something Wanda. I saw his change too. He won't abandon us." Ant-man put a reassuring hand on her shoulder before leaving the room. Soon after he left steve walked in and took a seat next to her.
"How is Bucky?" She asked robotically.
"Well we won't be able to get him a new Robotic arm for a while and his wounds are severe but he will pull through. But how are you holding up?" Steve asked honestly. "You lost a woman who considered you her daughter-in-law and fought someone you hold extremely close to your heart."
Wanda had a small smile on her face as he said that last part. "Is it so obvious?" When she saw Steve nod she sighed. "I'm surviving Steve. The only thing holding me together is all of you and the fact that Rob may not abandon us."
"Are you beginning to doubt him?"
"I would never doubt him. I have complete faith that he will come back and help us. I'm just being pessimistic I guess." Wanda sighed as she leaned back on the couch, eyes closed.
"Keep that close Wanda. You're an extremely strong young woman but even you have limits. If you believe he will pull through then he will." Steve scooted over and gave her a hug. "Iron man's team should be here soon." Steve ended the hug and left the room to go check on Bucky.
*half hour later*
"Wanda, I hope you are well." Vision greeted as he joined her on the back porch. Tony's team had arrived ten minutes ago and after a small meeting they decided to relax until word came in. Wanda had quickly moved to the porch to overlook the property.
"I am as well as I can be right now Vis." Wand agave him a small smile.
"That's good. I think." Vision nodded and fidgeted around nervously which confused Wanda.
"Vis, are you okay? You look nervous." Wanda pointed out.
"Yes I am fine thank you just a little nervous. I just haven't done this before and am unsure on how to proceed." Vision started pacing. Wanda stood and grabbed his shoulders, stopping him.
"What has you so nervous Vis?"
"Wanda, we have been good friends for a while now right?" Wanda nodded, unsure on how this would go. "Well during that time I have come to truly realize what a wonderful woman you are. Your beauty is surpassed only by your generous heart." Vision gulped as Wanda looked at him shocked. "What I am trying to say is, Wanda Maximoff, Would you like to be my girlfriend?"
…
…..
"Vis, I have … I don't know what to say." Wanda stated surprised. She didn't expect this kind of confession.
"With the upcoming battle between our old comrade and one of our arch enemies I didn't want to risk losing you and wondering what could have been. So would you like to start dating?" Vision looked at her hopefully.
Wanda bit her bottom lip and looked to the ground trying to compose her thoughts. After a few agonizing seconds for Vision, Wanda looked up into his eyes. "Vision, you are my best friend. You have been an anchor when no one else has been there. We have been through so much together." Vision's eyes filled with hope. "But my heart belongs to another. I love you Vision, but you are like my little brother. I'm sorry I cannot return your feelings." Wanda looked at him apologetically.
"I see then." Vision was experiencing something he couldn't comprehend. With his vast knowledge he determined it to be a mix of pain anger and sadness. "If you don't mind, who owns your heart?" He asked tentatively.
"Rob owns my heart Vision. He always has." Wanda stated confidently.
"I see, well thank you for telling the truth." Vision quickly turned around and left. Leaving Wanda who started feeling slightly guilty for hurting Vision.
"You did the right thing Wanda." She jumped when she heard Clint's voice.
"How do you know? He was devastated." Wanda sighed as she retook her seat.
"If you had said you returned his feelings when you didn't and got with him. You would have been miserable. It would have been even more painful for him to realize that you loved Rob instead of him." Clint sat next to her and put a reassuring arm around her.
"That makes sense but it doesn't make it hurt less." Wanda sighed again.
"No, it doesn't. If you want to talk to an expert on relationships I can get my wife but I can tell you right now, that you did the right thing. Just make sure that you stay focused in the fight. I don't want you getting hurt." Clint stood and kissed the top of her head before reentering the house.
Wanda remained outside and looked up into the sky, wondering where Rob was and if he was all right.
And done. I'm telling you I am really enjoying how this story played out. I might even crown this my masterpiece. I was actually about to make this longer but realized that if I did the next chapter would probably by the last chapter of the story. SO now instead next chapter will be the last full length chapter and after it should be about half the length, maybe 1000 or 1500. Anyway after that I may do an epilogue to hold you over until the next movie where I can continue this. SO with that said. I will try and finish this story this weekend. Again no promises as I am currently on vacation but I will definitely try. Especially since I finally have enough to redo one of my original three stories. It isn't on my profile anymore but it was a halo fic. SO that will probably replace this one once this is complete. Anyway please review as they keep me motivated to give you content and it lets me know if I did a good job. Again I love you all and hope to see you at the end of this. Love you all and good morning, afternoon, evening and goodnight!
