CLINT POV:
"Where are we?" I asked.
"We are at the entrance of the base of Fantastic 4." He replied bitterly. "Just wait for me here. I'll infiltrate the facilities." He added.
"Ok. Just be careful and return safely ok?" I said.
He just nodded and became invisible. What the hell is wrong with that kid? And why am I so protective over him? Will he be alright going inside that facility alone? And what's with the bitter tone a while ago? Why am i like this? Why am i worrying about him this much? I'll just wait for him for an hour and if he's not back by then, I'll enter the lab.
DAISUKE POV:
I entered the facilities without being noticed by their cameras. Well what do I expect? I'm invisible so the cameras won't sense me. But why would they not create or develop a camera that can locate an invisible human? Besides they have Invisible Woman. Anyways, I hate to admit but I miss this facilities. I miss playing around here with Kitty and Dale. I miss running around here and breaking his stuff and he'll start scolding at me and she'll start saying that I am just a kid. I miss her laugh and i miss his hug. i admit it! I miss them, but this feeling is hidden under may hatred of them. Hatred because they just easily gave us away to the Prydes without explaining what's going on. Hatred because all I want is to be with them what ever the hell would happen and I know Dale wants to see them again after a decade or so. That is why I've decided to talk to them and ask for their help.
I entered the lab where he usually works, but no one is in there so I moved to the other room where his brother-in-law always train but still nobody's in there. Next I went to the room where Dale and I used to be playing together with his best friend but nobody is there. Lastly I went to the room where she usually takes us when we were upset but sadly, there are no people around. I wandered around the facility and overheard his laugh. I know that laugh, which is his laugh. I know that voice; I've heard her speak again. My heart raced and I rushed towards the dining room not noticing that i lost control and I'm now very well visible. I opened the door and the four people there stood and stared at me with piercing eyes.
"Who the hell are you and how did you escaped from our surveillance?" He asked. He didn't change a bit.
"Hey, don't scare the young boy." She said with her gentle voice taming her husband. Just like him, she did not change for a bit.
"Hey Reed, calm down. I think I recognize him." His brother-in-law said.
"Come to think of it Reed, he's like a younger version of you. Just a little bit thin and more handsome but yeah, he's just like you." His best friend added.
"What is the matter young boy? Why did you enter our lab?" She asked while she approaches me. "Welcome home my child." She continued.
Everybody was stunned by her words. Even I was stunned because she still recognizes me.
"Where is your brother? Why did you not bring him with you here?" She asked.
I just don't know how to react with this situation. Tears welled down my eyes and she just hugged me tightly.
"Now, now my child. Don't cry. Everything would be ok now. Mama is here." She said.
I can't stop my tears and I can't stop myself to hug her. I felt her tears on my shoulders. Once again, I felt her warm hug that I've been longing for, for years now. I cannot say a word. I was so shocked about the sudden turn of events until all of us were brought back to reality when the alarm sounded. Her brother surrounded himself with flames and flew to where the intruder is. Every one of us waits for his return and finally he captured the intruder.
"Who are you?" The flaming ma asked.
"Please Johnny. Do not hurt him. He's with me." I begged him.
"You heard my boy. Release him now Johnny." Reed said.
"Y-your boy?" Clint asked.
"You mean, you didn't tell him?" The boulder man asked.
"Let me introduce you to my family." I said sarcastically.
"Family? I thought you were the brother of Kitty Pryde, one of the X-men?" Clint asked.
"Susan Storm-Richards also known as Invisible Woman. She is my biological mother." I said. "The man that is holding you is her brother, my uncle, Johnny Storm also known as Human Torch. Over there is our godfather, Ben Grimm also known as The Thing. And that man over there is my father, Reed Richards or should I say, Mr. Fantastic." I continued. "Everyone, he is Clint Barton or should I say he is Hawkeye. One of the Avengers." I said.
"What brought you here?" Reed asked.
"We are here to request some help in defeating Ultron." Clint started.
"As of now, the other Avengers together with Dale are surrounded by Ultron's bots plus sentinels that exterminates mutants." I added.
"No. We cannot engage ourselves in that battle." Reed stated.
"But Reed. I mean dad, many people would be endangered and many mutants would be killed if we could not stop Ultron and his minions." I said.
"No means no. No ifs no buts." Reed said sharply.
"But if you need additional forces, where are the other mutants?" Ben asked.
"They are currently attacked by those pesky sentinels and we cannot afford to lose the defense against them. If we get some of the mutants, there would not be enough people to aid our injured and there are less people that could help in evacuation." I said.
"My decision is final. Fantastic Four would not participate in this battle." Reed stated.
"I thought that if it would be me speaking and asking you for help it would be easier. But I was wrong. I thought you would help us." I said.
"We would not endanger ourselves for people we don't know." Reed replied.
"People you don't know? Well just who the hell am I to ask you a favor? Who the hell am I?" I started while holding my tears back. "Well who am I to ask a favor to the family who just gave their twin sons like that easily? Why would I expect that by talking to the parents that should have taken care of us to help us if they in the first place gave us away?!" I continued and tears flowed down my cheeks. "Why would I expect that you would care for your children when you gave us to somebody else? Why did I think that you cared much about us, that you loved us?" I said while sobbing.
Clint approached me and hugged me tight.
"Let us head back. They need us now." He said and wiped my tears away.
"Yeah they need us. And we can handle it by ourselves. We don't need the help of these …" I stopped and opened a portal.
"I'm coming with you." Johnny said while walking towards the portal.
"But Johnny, we can't just decide right away." Sue said.
"I won't leave my nephews alone fighting. Sue they are your children, you should know no better than to protect them." Johnny said. "I'm coming with them, and my decision is final. No one could change it even if the consequence is to out of the Fantastic Four." He stated as he enters the portal.
After Johnny entered the portal, Clint and I followed him and the portal closed.
"I sense someone besides the three of us here in the base." I said to them.
"Just as I suspected. You can never leave your children in danger." Johnny said.
"You followed us using my portal. Now you can show yourselves." I ordered.
"Huh? Who are you talking with?" The puzzled Clint asked.
"He is talking to us." Sue said while removing the force field she made.
"So are you gonna help us?" Clint asked.
"If my children need my help, I'm more than willing to give my assistance." Sue replied.
"The same with me." Reed said.
"So shall we go now?" I asked.
"Certainly." They replied.
I opened four portals; Mom and Dad entered the portal that summons them in the north part of Ultron's base, Uncle Johnny entered the south portal, Uncle Ben entered the east, and finally, Clint and I entered the west portal. The moment we were on our posts, we carefully infiltrate the base to where Dale and the others were gathered. We saw that Dale is having a hard time in maintaining his force field because he is too worn out.
I summoned lightning and hit half of the group that surrounds the Avengers. Then Invisible Woman created a force field that protected the Avengers so that Azure could res for a while. Hawkeye continued to shoot arrows to the robots, while Human Torch throws flames on every boulder that The Thing throws. Scarlet Witch started to attack again since she is one of the casters in the group together with Vision. Thor summoned lightning and I ate all of it.
I've gathered all the lightning I ate ad concentrated it into my mouth. "Thunder Dragon's Roar!" And released the lightning from my mouth.
We've defeated the robots but we knew that it is not the end because Ultron is still alive. We searched for Ultron but we did not find any trace of him when Azure decided to hold on one of Ultron's robots that are still functioning.
"What are you planning to do with that?" Mr. Fantastic asked.
"I'll just use some of my magic to learn the whereabouts of Ultron." He replied. "Machina Soul: Full Body Take Over." And he took over the body of that robot. "Follow me." He ordered.
He flew and Invisible Woman and I created a force field that could lift us all to where Azure would take us, but we managed to be invisible. After a long flight, we reached the main base of Ultron. Here is where he creates his robots and reprograms the sentinels. He is supported by Bolivar Trask who created the sentinels.
Scarlet Witch had an idea so she asked me if I could bring him closer to Trask, so I've decided to separate my force field from Invisible Woman to accompany Scarlet Witch. The moment we're near Trask, Scarlet altered his memories that made him to turn against Ultron. He sabotages the machines that was building the robots and destroyed the program by using a virus. Ultron killed Trask and we then exterminated the last colony of his robots. After defeating the robots, we chased Ultron and destroyed him.
After destroying all the robots, we've decided to head back to the Avengers headquarters and explain everything that is needed to be explained. First, Erik explained that he is the father of the Maximoff twins. Then Reed explained about our relation to the Richards.
"These two boys are our twin sons." Reed started.
"But why are they carrying a different surname?" Tony asked.
"That's because Daphne and Darwin Pryde used to work in our lab." Sue replied.
"You mean the parents of Kitty Pryde?" Natasha asked.
"Yes. Kitty Pryde is there playmate back then until the dark days of the lab came." Sue continued.
-FLASH BACK –
SUE POV:
"We need to protect our children." I said.
"But how? We need to fight Victor or else the world is finished." Reed replied.
"Sue can you just cast a field on them and make them invisible until we finish Victor off?" Johnny asked.
I saw the Prydes running to a safe place so I called the attention of the father.
"Darwin, could I ask you a favor?" I asked.
"Anything Sue." He replied.
"Can you take care of the boys while we are fighting Victor?" I asked.
He just nodded and carried both Daisuke and Dale while they were asleep. We continued battling Victor thinking that our precious twins are safe from harm. After the battle, we saw Darwin half dead.
"Darwin, what happened to you?" Johnny asked.
"I ended up fighting one of Victor's pones." He replied.
"Where are my twins?" I asked him crying.
"Don't worry Sue, they're in a safe pl-" And before he finished, he breathed his last.
We've searched and searched but we did not find Daphne and the kids. Until one day, someone reported to us that Daphne Pryde died from an illness and her kids where sent to Doctor Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters. We've tried contacting the said institution only to find out that Daisuke and Dale sneaked out of Xavier's facilities and is nowhere to be found.
We've conducted a search in partnership with the Xavier School for Gifted Youngsters but we did not find them. I blamed myself for losing my precious twins and dedicated my life to find them, but I couldn't.
-END FLASHBACK –
DAISUKE POV:
"We know the whole story. When we were kids, we could read minds. We read the story in the mind of Daphne and understood the situation. That is why we escaped the Xavier School for Gifted Youngsters because we wanted to return home but when we returned home, we saw the lab all thorn down into ashes." Dale said.
"We searched far and wide but did not able to locate your whereabouts. We hid ourselves and worked for a living. Then one day before we were about to be killed by a sentinel, a ray of light hit us and the moment we opened our eyes, we were back at Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters." I added.
After the talk, we headed back to Xavier's School of Gifted Youngsters and told what happened. Everybody was invited to the Fantastic Four Lab and celebrated our victory and the reuniting of our family and Erik's family. During the party, the anima took us away again and returned us to the world we really belong.
