Bruce's P.O.V:

After I leave Tony recovering from the beatdown he had; I got to Emily's room to see how she was doing. I accidentally heard part of the conversation she had with agent Terrell. It was heartbreaking to hear he lost his whole family in such a horrible way. "Ems, I think Bruce want to talk to you," The agent said. He left the room after saying goodbye to Emily.

"I didn't mean to intrude, I just wanted to check up on you that's all," I said.

"Bruce, it's okay," She smiled. "How is Tony doing?"

I took a deep breath. "Good considering what happened. How are you doing?"

"I, um, I'm okay... I mean, yes, I am, but at the same time, I'm not. It's just so much information in less than an hour." She was rambling. "Losing my little boy, now Billy turning out to be my uncle, and I am expected to take over my family's duties accepting all their power. It's too much." Tears began to fall without her even noticing.

I rush to her side and try to calm her down. "Ems, you are not alone in this. We will help you with all we can. Just take it easy, you'll see everything will work out."

She nodded. "Bruce, what should I do? Should I even embrace my family's power?"

"Emi if it were me, I would choose a life free of danger and secret agents, but you have to embrace whatever your family left you. If they thought it was for the best, you should honor their memory accepting those powers."

Emily faintly chuckled. "Can you please check on Tony, and when you do, there are some things we need to talk about."

"Yes, because I need to get a break from your egotistic boyfriend." I joked. She laughed a little more when I left. I go to the room next to hers, and see Tony working. "Aren't you supposed to be resting for a while?"

He looked up. "I was, Banner, but I couldn't shake this idea off of my head," He said. "I've been looking at your research, and I think, we can make a machine help us keep the peace on Earth. That way we don't have to risk our lives in battle."

"Tony, where did this idea come from?"

He hesitated to tell me. "Look, don't you want to stop fighting all the bad guys in this world?" He held tight the tablet on hand. "This can help us."

I examine the work he had done in the little time he had. It was not a bad idea; this could help us in the future. I agree on helping Tony, and we started building Ultron.

Two months passed and we've made progress with Ultron. The others were looking for HYDRA facilities but had no luck. Billy was helping Steve and Natasha with all he could, but there was still a dead end. Also, Fury was informed about Billy's niece and what she could do. Once Fury heard, he almost killed Billy for lying to him for 28 years. Not even Samantha could save Billy from Fury.

Today, Tony and I were trying to wake Ultron, but we were still missing one piece to make it complete. We worked on it for a whole day without any lunch breaks. When it was dinner time, Emily came down interrupting us. "Guys, can you stop working for a bit?" Emily said. "Tony, you said we were going out today?"

Tony looked up, and his face was completely pale. "Shit, I forgot," He said. "Babe, can we reschedule?"

My eyes widen. I look over at Emily, her hair was turning blood orange. "You've said that for the past month. You either get ready, or you won't see me for the rest of the year." She crossed her arms.

I pushed Tony to Emily's side. "You'll thank me later Tony."

"Before I leave, Billy told Fury about HYDRA'S location. You'll be going there, first thing in the morning."

I nodded and continued working with Ultron.

Emily's P.O.V:

I never noticed if I was stomping on my way to our floor or if there was smoke coming from my ears. It was going to be our first date in three months. I look at Tony, and he was still working on his tablet. "Anthony Edward Stark, stop working already!" I yelled.

"Bruce and I are near a breakthrough," He said.

"What's so important about this experiment?" I said.

"If we are successful, it will bring peace to all the chaos in our world," He said. "Then we don't have to worry about any danger."

"The idea sounds great, but I don't think a machine should bring peace."

"Babe, this is not a bad idea, and it would mean we can spend more time together."

I cross my arms, again. I glare at him. "I don't want you working tonight. Tomorrow you have to go to Sokovia, and I'll be stuck here under the excruciating watch of Fury and Hill."

He sighed and scratched the back of his head.

"You're right, I did promise we would go out. And, I think I know the perfect place; let me change." He went to his room.

When he got out, he was wearing the same AC/DC shirt with a leather jacket and some jeans. I smiled at the memory. "Where are we going?" I said.

"If I remember correctly, I left the tower ten months ago," He said looking at his watch. "It was a quarter till eleven when I got into my car and drove to a diner." He grabbed my hand and playfully dragged me to where his car was. I got in and told me all the things he had done on our fateful meeting until we arrived at the dinner.

"Bruce told you what happened three months ago, didn't he?" He nodded.

"Yeah, he did. But, my story doesn't end there," He said. "I sat on one of the booths to the nearest window; then a girl with beautiful icy blue eyes and purple hair asked for my order."

The diner was almost empty. I saw my old coworkers, who seemed afraid that I returned. We sat down in a booth near to the window just like he did before. "All I remember was a guy full of himself." I joked.

"You hurt me Bright Eyes," He laughed. "I'm just glad I met you."

I smile. "I'm glad too. You've changed me for the better, even though, I still don't trust the others." We grab each other's hand and kissed. "We should order something."

Tony called for a waiter and ordered. I look over at Tony with a devilish smile. He knew I wanted to mess with the waitresses. When the waitress brought our drinks, I told her she brought the wrong drink. I kept saying that until the food was ready when she gave me the first soda. Tony was trying not to laugh in front of the waitress. Tony paid after we finished eating. We left to the Tower and kept watching movies until we fell asleep.
