2 Months Later,

I was driving behind Clint and Natasha, the honeymoon was well spent and I wish it would never end. But we had to get back to work. After tracking down Loki's scepter we discovered a Hydra base in Sokovia. My dad and Thor were flying ahead of us, Bruce was rampaging through the woods, Steve was dragging agents behind his motorcycle, and I was driving a Hydra jeep behind Clint and Natasha.

"Shit!" My dad yelled over the earpiece

"Language!" Steve scolded "Jarvis what's the view from upstairs?"

"The central building is protected by some kind of energy shield, Strucker's technology is well beyond any Hydra base we've taken."

"Loki's scepter must be here, Strucker couldn't have built this defense without it."

"Dad can you get in?" I asked

"Are you questioning my abilities kiddo?"

I stopped the jeep and stood up to fire the massive gun on top, I shot down nearby Hydra agents until Bruce threw them away. As I got back in the car a sudden and uncontrollable sickness came over me. I stepped out of the car, one hand on my stomach and the other kept me up. My head hung low after I puked up my last meal.

"Kida are you alright?" Steve asked

"Are you ill?" Thor asked

"I'm fine let's just finish the mission."

I climbed back in the car and drove closer to the base, the shield went down and I ran to the bridge.

"We have an advanced player on the field." Steve said

"Clint's been hit" Natasha said

"Where are you?"

"A few klicks south of you." Nat replied "We're going to need evac."

"I'll take Clint to the jet."

I ran south until I found Natasha next to Clint, when I got there she took off to find Bruce. I gently pulled the tape off and started to heal him. I carried him to a Hydra jeep and drove back to the jet. There I stayed and healed him until the other's got back with Loki's scepter.

"We finally found it." I said

"Yeah are you feeling alright?" Steve asked

"I'm fine just a little sick, nothing major."

He kissed me and walked back inside, I noticed my dad had a weird look in his eyes. Like he had seen a really scary movie but he was silent. I gave Bruce a blanket and headphones to help calm him down.

"Thor report on the hulk." Natasha said as my dad flew us over the Atlantic.

"The gates of Hell are filled with the screams of his victims." Natasha gave him a death glare and I punched him in the arm. "But not the screams of the dead of course, wounded screams mainly whimpering, great deal of complaining of sprained deltoids and gout."

I looked over to Steve and I saw him trying not to laugh, I stood next to Thor and looked at the scepter. The team agreed with me and Thor that the scepter had to be returned to Asgard as soon as possible.

"Feels good yeah, we've been after this thing since SHIELD collapsed." My dad said "Not that I've enjoyed our little raiding parties and such."

While the guys talked I felt a massive headache start to grow, it felt like someone was squeezing my brain. I walked to the other side of the jet and sat down, I started to back track myself. But I couldn't find anything that would make me sick. I had a small breakfast, I didn't drink, I didn't have raw food, and no one else around me was sick. I haven't felt this before and I decided to brush it off.

Four hours later,

When we arrived Maria and Dr. Cho were waiting for us, Clint was carried in on a gurney and Thor carried the scepter inside.

"Lab's all set up boss." Maria said

"Oh actually he's the boss I just pay for everything, design everything, and make everyone look cooler."

"Do you have any information about the enhanced person I heard of?" I asked

"And the word on Strucker." Steve added

"NATO's got him, the enhancements are Wanda and Pietro Maximoff, twins." She showed a picture of them to me and Steve, she followed us as we walked out. "Orphaned at 10 when a shell collapsed their apartment building."

"What are their abilities?" I asked

"He's got increased metabolism and improved homeostasis. Her thing is neurolectric interfacing, telekinesis, mental manipulation." Steve just look up to her to sum it up. "He's fast and she's weird."

"Well they're going to show up again." Steve said

"Agreed, file says they volunteer for Strucker's experiments."

"Of course, what kind of monster would let a German scientist experiment on them to protect their country."

"We're not at war."

"They are."

When the doors finally closed I leaned back and gently rubbed my forehead.

"Are you sure you're alright?" Steve asked

"I'm fine just a headache"

"Maybe if you talk to Dr. Cho she can help you."

"I'm just going to rest until the party starts."

I kissed his cheek and when the elevator opened I walked inside my old room, I was tempted to call Pepper but I knew she was busy working on the West Coast. I closed my eyes to meditate but ended up falling asleep.

Night

I decided to listen to Steve's advice and checked in with Doctor Cho, she took a few samples and sent them to the lab for testing. While JARVIS ran through the samples I changed into a knee length blue dress with a white belt around the waist. When the party started Rhodey, Sam, and I started a game of pool. Steve sat in the corner of the room with some World War II veterans. My dad and Thor where talking to Maria and trying to prove that their girlfriend was the best.

"So how's the missing person case going?" I asked

"I got nothing but cold leads and ghost stories." He replied

"I'll check with Heimdal, he sees everything, maybe he can help find Bucky."

"Kida," I turned around and saw Thor walk up to me "good thing I found you I brought some wine from the palace."

"Oh no thanks Thor."

"Really? Are you ill?" He asked

"No I'm fine I just don't feel like drinking tonight."

"I'll try some" Sam said, Thor and I looked to him and back at each other before we laughed.

"Seriously Sam? This stuff has been crafted for centuries it's practically the strongest alcohol in the universe."

"This is not fit for mortal consumption."

"What can happen?" Sam asked

Two hours later,

Once the last of the guests left, and I called a taxi for Sam, the team sat on the white couches with Maria and Helen Cho. Thor set Mjolnir on the glass table

"It's a trick" Clint said "Whoever be worthy will have the power, whatever man it's a trick."

"Well please be my guest."

"Really?" Clint said and I waved my hand

"Clint you've had a tough week we won't hold it against you if you can't get it up."

"You know I've seen this before." Clint grabbed the hammer with one hand and pulled with no luck. "Hehe I just don't know how you do it."

"Silent judgement"

"Stark by all means" Clint said and my dad stood up and unbuttoned his jacket.

"Never one to shrink from an honest challenge."

"Oh dad no you're going to pull something." I said "Don't do anything stupid."

"Sshh Kida, so if I lift it I get to rule Asgard?"

"Yes of course" Thor replied

"Oh boy" I mumbled under my breath, once he grabbed the hammer it didn't budge again.

"Be right back." He left for a moment and returned with his armored gauntlet on.

"Come on dad, you're just going to make a fool of yourself."

"Too late." Clint whispered to me.

Rhodes got up and put on his War Machine gauntlet to help my dad, Natasha didn't want to try, then Bruce tried to lift it and they both failed. When it was Steve's turn I could tell he was having some trouble with it, but when the metal scraped against the glass I turned to Thor with wide eyes and I saw his smug grin drop. But when Steve gave up Thor laughed it off.

"One more person left." Hawkeye said and pointed to me with his drumsticks

"Oh no thanks."

"Come on Kida are you too scared?" Thor said

"No I just don't want to answer that question."

"Then there's one simple answer, you're all not worthy."

Before we could all reply a high pitched screech ran through the room and we covered our ears. When it was over I heard footsteps, I slowly turned to them and saw one of my dad's robots slowly limp towards us.

"What the hell is that?" I asked

"No…how could you be worthy? You're all killers." It said

"Stark" Steve said

"Jarvis"

"I'm sorry I was asleep, or was I a dream?" I could feel it staring at me with those bright lights for eyes. "There was this terrible noise, I was tangled in…in strings. Had to kill the other guy he was a good guy."

"You killed someone?" Steve asked

"Who did you kill?" I asked

"Wouldn't have been my first call, but down in the real world were faced with ugly choices."

"Who sent you?" Thor asked

"I see a suit of armor around the world." My dad's voice ran out of the robot's speaker, I turned to him and saw that he was just as shocked as I was.

"Dad you made this?"

"Ultron" Bruce said

"In the flesh" It replied "Or no not yet not this Christmas, I'm on a mission."

"What mission?" Natasha asked

"Peace in our time."

Two Ironman robots flew out of the walls and headed straight towards us. We ducked down when they flew above us, I created a shield around the team as glass and debris fell from the ceiling. I stood up and shot golden blasts of light at them. One landed behind me and I turned with bright golden eyes, my hand grabbed the robot's neck and I crushed it like a ball of paper.

"That was dramatic." Ultron said "I'm sorry I know you mean well you just didn't think it through. You want to protect the world but you don't want it to change, how is humanity saved if it's not allowed to evolve? These…these puppets there's only one path to piece the Avenger's extinction."

In anger Thor threw his hammer towards it and the robot was smashed into pieces as the light behind the mask slowly faded I could hear it sing a song.

"I had strings but now I'm free."

Chapter Song

We live in cities you'll never see on screen

Not very pretty, but we sure know how to run things

Living in ruins of a palace within my dreams

And you know, we're on each other's team
