Chapter 11

"There. It's a truck from the lab. It's right above you Cap."

We located Ultron! It' time for some action now. Apparently we can't just blow up Ultron's new body. That sucked because I had seriously been looking forward to doing that. We have to take the cradle to Stark first. Ultron was trying to create a new body for himself by using the cradle's tissue creating abilities and the powerful gem inside the scepter. I have to admit, the dude was smart even though he has no physical brain. "I can take out the driver." Hawkeye stated.

"Negative. That truck crashes and the gem could level the city." Steve told us. I think the city looks fine the way it is so we are going to have to come up with another plan. We were sitting in the quinjet with Clint as the pilot. Natasha was in the back while I was watching the truck containing the cradle through a window. Steve jumped on top of the truck and rolled over to hang on to the back of the truck where the doors were. A huge blast coming from inside the truck caused the door that Steve was holding onto to fly open. A second blast resulted in Steve flying through the air and landing on the door which was scraping against the road. It was barely attached to the truck.

"Well he's definitely unhappy. I'm going to try to keep him that way." Steve announced through the intercom. You can trust Captain America to always state the obvious. This was not looking good at all. He's going to get himself killed if he tries to take down Ultron by himself! "Shit shit shit." I muttered under my breath as I watched Steve holding on for dear life. Ultron fired another beam at the Cap' causing him to go flying backwards and land on a car. "I can't watch this anymore. Let me go help him." I said to Hawkeye. He looked at me for a second gauging whether I was ready for this or not. After a moment he nodded.

He unlocked the hatch door by pressing a few buttons on the control panel. Natasha stood to my right, also getting ready to join the battle. We nodded at each other. "Ok we have a window. 1, 2…..3. Go!" Barton shouted. Both of us revved our bikes and rode out of the quinjet. We landed with a thud on the road and continued towards where Steve and Ultron were fighting on the truck. The wind was blowing my hair back and the feeling was absolutely exhilarating. I weaved through numerous cars on the highway and prepared myself to fight. "I'm always picking up after you boys." Natasha remarked while she grabbed Steve's shield off of the ground.

"Hard right….. now!" Hawkeye commanded. Both of us took a sharp right cutting off three cars in the process. People screamed as we drove through a narrow road at full speed. "Move people!" I yelled. I felt kind of bad for almost running over them. They looked terrified. I was right behind Natasha as we finally saw the truck where the cradle was situated. She went around the truck and threw the shield to Steve. He caught it in one fluid movement and slammed it against Ultron. He stumbled a few feet back towards the front of the truck. He cursed at us and shot a laser at the road in front of Natasha effectively cutting her off.

I continued driving behind the truck. There were two of his minions in there guarding the cradle. As soon as they saw me they started aiming lasers at me. I swerved back and forth avoiding them. One nearly burned the top of my head. "Oh no you don't!" I yelled as I took out a gun and started firing at them. Exactly at that moment Barton started firing at Ultron using the quinjet. This caused Ultron to pick up Steve and they went crashing into a train. The two Ultron minions that were previously trying to kill me went flying after Clint. I was kind of offended that they thought Clint was a better opponent than me.

"Adrianna help Steve! I'll get the cradle!" Natasha told me through the intercom. I smirked at the thought of having the chance to beat up Ultron. I created a portal in front of me and ended up inside the train a second later with the bike. "Oops" I commented with a shrug. I quickly got off and assessed the situation. Steve threw his shield at Ultron who went flying towards the back of the train. He immediately retaliated by shooting a laser at Steve. "Drea! Portal now!" Steve shouted. I made another portal in front of Steve and he jumped through it leading him right in front of Ultron. They started fighting close range. Steve went flying backwards after a few minutes.

That was when I stepped in and started shooting at him. I jumped forwards and took out my polearm. He started throwing punches at me while I defended myself with my polearm and got in a few hits. Ultron then shot lasers at me continuously. I ducked and took cover behind one of the seats in the train. The guy sitting there looked like he was going to die from a heart attack. His eyes were wide open in fear and his mouth was parted in the shape of an O. "Cap' distract him! I got a clear passage to the truck." Natasha commanded. Steve voiced my thoughts by exclaiming "What do you think I've been doing?" in an incredulous tone. Right as Ultron was about to fire another laser at Steve, a blue and silver blur passed by knocking him down.

I came out of my little hiding spot to take a look at what exactly happened. I turned just in time to see the seats deform to block Ultron from coming near us. I looked back and saw Wanda and her brother Pietro standing there. The blur I saw earlier was apparently Pietro. At this point I should probably get used to his grand entrances. "Please. Don't do this." Ultron stated while staring at Wanda. I was too shocked to even pay attention to the rest of their conversation. The twins just helped us! I think that means they finally realized the threat Ultron posed. It looks like we have an ally. This makes fighting just a little easier. We don't have the fear of being shown our worst fears on our conscience anymore. It was a pretty nice feeling if you asked me.

I got jarred out of my happy thoughts by Ultron firing a laser at the back of the train and flying out. "He's headed your way!" I yelled into the intercom.

Just then the train went off the tracks and speeded through a narrow road. "Crap!" I cursed. This was not good at all. There were at least a hundred people in this train. We had to stop it. "Civilians in our path." Steve said as he looked pointedly at Pietro. He was gone in the blink of an eye carrying strangers out of the path of the train. "Can you stop this thing?" Steve asked Wanda. She looked like she was contemplating whether it was within her abilities. Meanwhile I tried to get all the passengers away from the windows of the train so the shrapnel wouldn't hit them.

"Watch out!" I yelled when I saw that we were about to crash through a wall.

Steve ran towards the front of the train where there was a huge gaping hole. He put his shield in front of him just as we crashed through. He got knocked back by a large chunk of cement. I closed my eyes and hid behind a seat along with everyone else as the rest of the shrapnel came through. Wanda stood up and released a large amount of energy directed towards the wheels of the train. The wheels started to screech under the pressure and we slowly came to a stop. I let out a huge breath of relief as I got everyone out of that train.

Out of the corner of my eye I saw Pietro breathing hard with his sister worriedly standing over him. Steve walked over there with an unamused expression on his face and said something to them. That's when I decided to stroll up to them so I could figure out what was going on. "Did you get the cradle?" Wanda asked. Pietro was still breathing hard when I got there.

"Stark will take care of it." Steve informed them.

"No he won't." Wanda replied with a worried expression on her face.

"You don't know what you're talking about. Stark's not crazy."

"He will do anything to make things right."

That's when Steve walked a few steps away and started to call for Stark through the intercom over and over again. Stark wasn't responding. I was pretty worried now. My eyebrows furrowed as I tried to figure out what Wanda was implying. "Ultron can't tell the difference between saving the world and destroying it. Where do you think he gets that from?" Wanda questioned. I exchanged a nervous look with Pietro when she said that. Steve had a steely expression on his face as he thought about what Wanda was saying.

"We have to get there. Now." I stated. I did not need this whole situation turning even uglier than it already is.
