Tony's P.O.V:

These past three weeks have been heaven and hell for me. Ems and I are building our relationship slowly. With her helping me dealing with my emotions, in return, I am helping her with her powers. Dealing with my emotions was hard, she wanted me to tell her how I felt every second of the day. It was annoying as fuck, but I had to deal with it. To make matters worse, Steve was up in my case because of Ultron. Can't he understand I was messed up mentally? The other thing that was bothering me was that Emily enjoyed me being her magical Guinea pig. I would often black out and wake up the next morning. I'm still wondering how I keep letting her test spells and rituals on me, although, I don't feel any side effects, having blackouts with no recollection of the day before was not the plan.

In these weeks, Clint's wife has been dealing with all the grocery shopping. It was amazing how she managed to do so much being so huge; I would say the groceries we at least 15 pounds she had to carry extras in the time we've been here. So, today, Emily ordered her to stay put and take care of the kids while she did the groceries with Clint and the others did their regular chores. At first, I argued with Emily but the minute I did, she magically glued my lips shut. We stared at each other, but all she said was she would be back. All that was left to do was cross my arms against my chest. After she left the spell broke, leaving me to wait for her.

Clint and Emily left this morning, and I am getting anxious. I don't understand what was taking so long; they have been gone the whole day and with no contact whatsoever. I am regretting letting her go now, something is wrong, I know it. This gut feeling that I have won't go away.

Now eight o'clock, I hear the door open and Clint yelling. I rushed to see Emily, but she was nowhere to be found. I go to the car, and she still wasn't there. "Where the hell is she, Barton?"

"Tony, go inside. I'll go explain everything when we are all together." He sighed, "It's a long story."

Once the team helped Clint with the groceries, he told us what happened with excruciating detail. Clint said how their plan of confusing Ultron had partly failed when Wanda used the scepter on my girlfriend. When he got to what were the Infinity Stones and the power they had on Emily, everything got messed up. The worst part was if she absorbed each power completely, she could wipe out the whole planet with just a blink of an eye, literally.

"Now she's helping Thor try to figure out what to do next," He suggested. "All we have to do is wait for her call. My guess is she's trying to figure out ways to defeat Ultron without the use of that blasted scepter."

"Sorry, to not care about the Ultron plan, but I can't wrap my mind with how Ultron fucking found her! You said this was a safe place." I yelled.

"The only thing I could explain Ultron finding us was the blasted people, who still hate Emily for the arrests SHIELD did after the Witch Trial six years ago." Clint barked.

"Guys, fighting won't help us solve anything," Steve interrupted. "Our first priority is defeating Ultron, and if waiting for Emily's order is the way then so be it."

"Steve is right, this fight has gone long enough, Tony," Natasha said.

"Well, I'm sorry for being concerned for my girlfriend's safety after all the shit that has happened? "

"Tony, she's not the defenseless girl you met a year ago. She can fight her battles, she has grown stronger than you believe; than we all believe." She continued.

"Tony, when was the last time Emily asked you for help," Bruce asked.

I look away knowing full well that Bruce was right. Ems never asked for help even if it was for the tiniest of things, but it never stopped me from worrying. She was too precious for me to lose, just the fact that she's not here... "Yes, I know she can fight her battles but-"

"Tony, the Emily in her 'maniacal' state, although, I don't think we should call it that; she said that you were only going to hold her back from her true purpose and that she wouldn't allow her to be anywhere near you." Clint clarified. "If you don't stop the way you're acting towards her, you will lose her completely. We all will."

I lean all my head's weight on my hands giving up at the situation. Leaving her finish her task was the right thing to do; I knew that. It, still, hurt knowing she could get hurt, and I couldn't protect her... I leave the house and distract myself with the broken tractor Clint had. It seemed extremely worn out but fixable. Circling around it I start talking. "Tell me everything. What ails you?"

"Do me a favor, try not to bring it to life." A familiar voice said. Turning around, I see Fury. Probably, Ms. Clint or Maria told him about the situation and where we are. He tells me about how I never hesitated to build Ultron. He sounded like a disappointed father to top it all off.

At first, all I wanted to do was trying to avoid the topic of artificial intelligence. Then he asks if I wanted to shut him down, which I did but not at the cost of anyone's life. "I'm just an old man who cares very much about you."

"And I'm the man who killed the Avengers. I saw it. I didn't tell the team or, worse, my psychic girlfriend. How could I? I saw them all dead, Nick. I felt it. The whole world, too. Because of me. I wasn't ready; I didn't do all I could."

"Maximoff girl, she's working you, Stark," He replied. "Playing on your fear."

" I wasn't tricked, I was shown. It wasn't a nightmare, it was my legacy. The end of the path I started us on."

It didn't matter how Fury seemed to try and convince me to fight this."I watched my friends die. I watched Emily die too. You'd think that'd be as bad as it gets, right? Nope," I sighed. " It wasn't the worst part."

"The worst part... is that you didn't." Fury left the barn to the house with me following his trail. Everyone said hi and settled down for Fury to give out the information he had on Ultron. He told us Ultron's failed attempts to get the nuclear codes now that they are changing every time, thanks to a possible ally. Everything was followed by an inspirational speech of us being able to destroy Ultron without the need of the internet, and as inspiring as it was it still didn't help us know his plans.

All we knew of Ultron was that he wanted to destroy the world, stop us from stopping him and that he kept building bodies. "Biologically speaking, we're outmoded, but he keeps coming back to it," I said.

"When you two programmed him to protect the human race, you amazingly failed." Natasha carefully gloated.

"They don't need to be protected. They need to evolve." Bruce explained. "Ultron's going to evolve."

"How," Fury asked.

"Has anyone been in contact with Helen Cho?" Bruce added.

"AGH!" Clint crouched in pain holding his head. His screams were the loudest ones I've heard in my entire life. He looked horrible and the pain he was experiencing lasted at least five minutes. Once it stopped, he started panting searching for air. "Barton, what happened?" Captain Spangles asked.

He turned his gaze at me and narrowed his look. "When I see your girlfriend, I'm going to kill her." He said.

"Emily did that?"

"Yes, apparently sending telepathic messages from a long distance can hurt the receiver." Clint huffed. "But, she knows what's going to happen and she has a plan. She wants Tony to go over Nexus. She said, 'He'll like what he's going to find.' Now the rest of us are going South Korea stop Ultron from making an indestructible body."

"I guess we should get moving," I grinned.

Emily's P.O.V:

I was hunched in a corner, trying to catch my breath, I never predicted watching Thor's visions was painful. Everything was horrible, never thought his thunder would protect him from my "invasion".

"Lady Emily, please let's not continue."

"No Thor, I need to see everything," I replied. "There is something horrible will happen in the future and I need to know what it is."

He sighed and held my hands. I, once again, try to see his vision for about an hour, but end up with no luck. this time, Thor's thunder pushed me to the other side of the cave. "Lady Emily-"

"Again." We made the connection again, and, again, the thunder kept me out. The process repeated itself until nightfall. I saw the stone, the giant named Thanos, I saw the mind stone and what Tony was going to do with it. I pant, catching my breath. Thor looks at me with a great pain in his eyes when I see all the injuries his power left me. "It's okay, I'm fine. We have to go back to the tower, we have to stop the team killing the only chance we have to defeat Ultron."


Author's Note:

Hi guys, I finally posted the chapter. I am sorry it took so long to post this, I'm not quite close to my finals and college has been stressing me out leaving my ideas in the gutter. I really hope you like this and don't forget to review.

For now, I'm not going to say what will happen in the next chapter since it will follow the movie. Following the story I won't go directly to Civil War (i still haven't seen the movie) I will only focus on Emily and Tony working a few things that will leave you shocked.

Until Next Time ;)
