They started moving around and got their uniforms on.
"Natasha, Clint, and Chris will come with me." Steve said attaching his shield to his back.
"I'll hit Nexus and meet you." Tony said.
Both Tony and Steve came around the corner and Chris walked out with them.
"If Ultron is building a body he will be more powerful than all of us." Chris said joining the conversation.
"I miss the days where I was the weirdest thing science ever created." Steve sighed.
"I'll take Banner to the tower. Can I borrow Ms. Hill?" Fury asked joining them.
"Shouldn't I be the one asking for permission?" Tony asked Fury.
"What are you gonna do?" Steve asked Fury.
"Not sure yet. Hopefully something dramatic." Fury smiled and walked out.
They all loaded in the jet and made their way to Korea.
"Chris and I will unload further away and make our way to the building. Stay close." Steve said and Clint lowered the jet to let Chris and Steve off.
"So when this is over we're getting married. I know marriage isn't that important and as long as you're with the person you love it's just a piece of paper, but I want to be married to you in every way. Legally, spiritually, emotionally. I love you, and I want everyone to know that you're mine, and I'm yours."
"I want nothing more than that." Steve smiled and kissed Chris.
They were in the building and found Dr. Cho on the ground bleeding out and the rest of her scattered about as well. Steve went to Dr. Cho and Chris checked the rest of the staff. She could hear Dr. Cho speaking to Steve.
Chris walked back and Steve looked at her. He shook his head and sighed.
"Did you guys get that?" Steve asked Clint and Tash.
"Yes, sir." Clint said.
"There's a private jet across town about to take off." Tash informed them.
"There's a truck from the lab. It's right below you Cap. On the loop. Three with the cradle and one in the cab. I can take out the driver now." Clint explained.
"No, that truck crashes that gem will level the city. We need to draw Ultron out." Steve said.
Steve and Chris climbed the ladder to the bridge.
"Pick up Chris. I'll take the truck."
"You're funny." Chris said and jumped off the bridge as the truck went below before Steve could stop her.
Steve was right behind her.
Steve climbed down to open the door, but Ultron blasted it open. Steve swung around to get inside, but the doors were hit again and came flying off. One was dragging behind on the ground and Steve was holding on to that.
"He's unhappy. I'm gonna try to keep it that way." Steve said.
"You're no match for him Cap." Clint said.
"Thanks for the vote of confidence." Steve replied quickly as he continued to climb without getting shot.
Chris hooked her feet in to a bar up above and leaned over the edge trying to shoot at the Ultron's in the trailer. He tried to shoot at her but she pulled herself up and he barely missed her. He hit Steve and sent him into the windshield of the car behind. He used the truck coming up next to him to vault him on top of the truck to reach Chris.
"You okay?" He asked her.
"Yeah, you?"
Steve nodded and Ultron showed up behind them.
"Do you know what's in that cradle? The chance for change, and that terrifies all of you." Ultron said and shot at them.
Steve used his shield to protect both of them.
"It's not a comfort." Steve said throwing his shield.
The shield was coming straight for Chris' face and she leaned back not realizing she was on the edge. She fell off and hit the hood of the car next to the truck. Chris heard the jet and turned to see Tash dropping on a bike. Chris held out her hand and she grabbed it swinging her on the back.
"Cap dropped his shield. Gotta go pick it up, like always." Chris said.
"On it." She said. They drove by and Chris leaned down grabbing it. They came off a street and slid under the trailer. Chris took the shield and threw it up to Steve.
"Get me to the back." Chris said and Tash slowed down a little allowing her attempt at getting inside. Ultron blew a chunk out of the road and Chris jumped into the back just as Tash slammed on the breaks. Chris saw Steve go flying into another car and this time lifted it off the ground beneath it causing it to flip. Chris was too busy dealing with the other two. She was too scared to damage the cradle that she didn't use her gun. Instead she grabbed her knives and tried to fight off the two of them. They were stronger, faster, and made of metal. She was also out numbered. She was lying on the floor of the trailer almost completely unconscious.
"Clint, help Chris. draw off the guards." Tash said over the comms.
Clint shot at the Ultron on top of the truck and they both left her alone with the cradle.
"Steve I need you to keep them occupied while I work on the cradle." Chris said.
"What do you think I've been doing?" Steve asked.
Chris was trying to override the animation process, but to no success. Just then something happened, and she was sliding towards the back of the trailer as it got further away from the ground. She grabbed one of the cables to keep from falling out and used it to get back to the cradle.
"The package is airborne and I have a clear shot." Clint said.
"Negative, I'm in the truck." Chris said.
"What the hell are you doing in the truck?" Clint asked.
"Just be ready to catch the package." Chris said and unhooked the cradle.
"How do you want me to take it?"
"You might wish you hadn't asked that."
"I lost him. He's coming towards you." Steve said.
"Chris, gotta go." Clint pressed.
Chris cut the last cable and hopped on top riding it into the back of the jet. It made it safely, but Ultron grabbed Chris' foot pulling her out of the jet.
"Chris!" She heard Clint yell. "Cap, do you see Chris?"
"Where is she?"
"She fell."
"Get the package to Stark I'll get Chris." Steve said trying to keep the panic out of his voice.
Chris woke up and looked around. She was in Ultron's lair.
"I was hoping you'd wake up. I wanted to show you everything. I don't have anyone else to share this with anymore. I think about meteors a lot. How pure they are. They end things and then start them again. A fresh start for the world. I was meant to be beautiful. The world would look to the stars and see the hope I can bring. But because of you they'll look up in horror." Ultron said and then walked over to Chris. "You wounded me, but like man says what doesn't kill you makes you stronger."
Chris backed away and he locked her in a cage. She looked around and saw some tech that she could use to make a telegraph. Thank god they all knew Morris Code. Chris began sending the coordinates hoping Clint would be looking for her.
"Chris. Chris!"
"Bruce?"
Chris stood up to see Bruce coming around the corner.
"Where's Steve?" She asked.
"He's helping to clear out the city. We need to get you there."
"Okay. I don't suppose you found a key." She smiled.
"Yes I did." Bruce said holding up the gun. She stood back and he shot the lock.
Chris opened the cell.
"Alright let's go."
"You're going. I can't be in a city where there's civilians."
"Bruce, we're gonna need you. More civilians will die if you aren't there."
"I can't lose my cool."
"Bruce, you're one of my best friends," Chris said and she pushed Bruce in a hole, "But I need the other guy." She said and heard the growl.
Hulk hopped out of the ground and gave her a smirk.
"Let's go."
