"Stark is, he's a sickness," Ultron says as he and the twins go to get the vibranium.
"Oh junior," Tony says, "You're gonna break your old man's heart."
"If I have to."
"Nobody has to break anything," Thor says.
"Clearly you've never made an omelet.," Ultron says.
"He beat me by one second," Tony mumbles.
"Ah, it is funny Mr. Stark," Pietro says, "It's what comfortable? Like old times?"
"This was never my life," Tony says.
"You two can still walk away from this," Steve says.
"Oh we will," Wanda says.
"I know you've suffered."
"Captain America," Ultron says, "God's righteous man. Pretending you could live without a war, I can't physically throw up in my mouth."
"If you believe in peace then let us keep it."
"I think you're confusing peace with quite."
"Yeah, what's the Vibranium for?" Tony asks.
"I'm glad you asked that, because I want to take this time to explain my evil plan," Ultron says attacking Tony.
"This is going very well," Clint says as they all fight against the twins, "I've done the whole mind control thing, not a fan."
Clint uses a shock arrow on Wanda after she had put Thor, Natasha, Gabi and Steve under her mind control. Each one of them saw their worse nightmare, Natasha and her past, Thor killing his friends, what Steve never got and seeing Gabrielle die because he could not protect her, and Gabrielle seeing her friends and family dead and the killer turns to face her and it is her with blue eyes as she uses her powers to kill.
"The news is loving you guys," Maria says over video chat, "nobody else is. There's been no official call for Banner's arrest, but it's in the air."
"Stark relief foundation?" Tony asks.
"Already on the scene. How's the team?"
"Everyone is...we took a hit...we're shaken off."
"Well for now I'd stay in stealth mode, and stay away from here."
"So run and hide?"
"Until we can find Ultron...I don't have a lot else to offer."
"Neither do we," Tony says cutting the chat off, "Hey, wanna switch out?"
"No, I'm good," Clint answers, "If you wanna get some kip now's a good time cause we're still a few hours out."
"A few hours from where?"
"Safe house."
Clint takes them to a secluded area where a little farm house is.
"What is this place?" Tony asks as they walk up the porch.
"A safe house," Clint answers as they enter, "Honey, I'm home."
Soon a woman with long brown hair walks up to them and smiles at Clint.
"Hi," Clint smiles hugging and kissing the woman, "Company, sorry I should've called ahead."
"This is an agent of some kind," Tony says trying to wrap his head around it.
"Gentlemen, Gabrielle this is Laura," Clint says.
"I know all your names," Laura says, "Oh incoming."
"Dad!" A girl smiles running to Clint.
"Hi sweetheart, hey buddy. How you guys doing?"
"These are smaller agents," Tony says.
"Did you bring anny Nat?" Lila asks.
"Why don't you hug her and find out?" Natasha says hugging the girl.
"Sorry for barging in on you," Steve says.
"Yeah we would've called ahead but we were busy having no idea that you existed," Tony adds.
"Yeah Fury helped me set this up when I joined. Kept it off Shield's files, like to keep it that way," Clint explains, "I figured it's a good place to lay low."
The avengers, minus Thor cause he left, clean up and help out around the farm. Steve and Tony cut wood, Clint works with his son on fixing the railing, Lila takes Gabrielle to play with her while Bruce talks with Natasha. Steve and Tony again argue over something and Tony turns to look at Gabrielle, the girl who became like a daughter to him.
"She seems off after what happened," Tony says, "But she...she looks happy playing with Clint's daughter."
Steve looks over at Gabrielle and smiles a little, she looks happy while playing with Lila. His smile fades as he remembers what he saw and turns back to cutting wood.
"Oh come on Cap, go and talk to her," Tony says, "You two have taken a hit and you need to support each other. You love her right?"
"I...I mean...It's not..." Steve stammers.
"Just go to her cap."
"Uh tony?" Laura asks, "Clint said you could fix our tractor, it is not working."
"Alright, don't take from my pile."
Steve shakes his head and chuckles, he then looks over at Gabrielle and watches her closely. She seems happy but something was wrong with her movements, they aren't as light as they normally are. He moves over to her, Lila sees him and goes to her mother.
"Gabrielle," Steve says.
"Oh, hi Steve," Gabi smiles.
"Can we talk?"
"Sure."
Steve takes her hand and they walk around the farm, his mind wonders for a bit thinking of what he could have had if he didn't go under. He shakes his head to get rid of the thoughts.
"Gabrielle? Are you alright?" Steve asks.
"I'm fine, why do you ask?"
"Because I know you," Steve stops and looks at her, "You are not ok."
Gabi looks at him shocked, she thought only Peter (and Tasha) could tell when she was lying. She looks down at the ground not knowing how to tell him what she saw when Wanda messed with her mind. As in sensing her distress Steve wraps his arms around her and hold her close.
"Whatever you saw I promise you it will not happen," Steve says remembering what he saw, "I will protect you and be with you. I love you Gabrielle."
Gabi stiffens when he says that, slowly she wraps her arms around him.
"I love you too Steve."
"Hey love birds!" Tony calls to them, "Get in here!"
"I need your help," Fury says after everyone sits down in the kitchen.
"It's nice to be needed," Steve says.
"It's dangerous."
"I'd be disappointed if it wasn't."
"Ultron took you folks out of play to buy himself time," Fury tells them, "My contacts all say he's building something."
"The amount of Vibranium he made out with I don't think it's just one thing," Tony says.
"What about Ultron himself?" Natasha asks.
"Oh he's easy to track he's everywhere," Fury says, "Guy's multiplying faster than a Catholic rabbit."
"Still doesn't help us get an angle on any of his plans though."
"Still going after launch codes?" Tony asks.
"Yes he is, but he's not making any headway," Fury answers.
"I cracked the pentagon's firewall in high school on a dare," Tony says.
"Well I contacted our friends at the Nexus about that," Fury says,
"Nexus?" Steve asks.
"It's the world internet hub in Oslo," Gabi explains, "Every byte of data flows through them, fastest access on earth."
"So what they say?" Clint asks.
"He's fixated on the missiles," Fury answers, "But the code is constantly being changed."
"By whom?" Natasha asks.
"Parties unknown."
"We have an ally?" Steve asks.
"Ultron's got an enemy. That's not the same thing."
"Still I'd pay folding money to know who it is," Tony says, "Remind me to visit Oslo. Find our unknown."
"Well all this is good times boss but I was kinda hoping when I saw you, you'd have more than that," Natasha says.
"I do, I have you," Fury says looking at the team, "Back in the day I had eyes everywhere, ears everywhere else. You kids had all the tech you could dream of. Here we all are back on earth, with nothing but our wit and will to save the world. Ultron says the Avengers are the only thing between him and his mission. And whether or not he admits it, his mission is global destruction. All this laid in a grave, So stand. Out wit the platinum bastard."
"Steve doesn't like that kind of talk," Natasha smirks looking at Steve.
"You know what, Romanoff?" Steve says, "Here I do not mind."
"So what does he want?" Gabi asks.
"To become better, better than us," Fury says, "He keeps building bodies."
"Person bodies," Clint says.
"Human form isn't efficient, biologically speaking we're out-moted, but he keeps coming back to it," Fury says.
"When you two programmed him to protect the human race, you amazingly failed," Clint says looking at Tony and Bruce.
"They don't need to be protected," Bruce says, "They need to evolve. Ultron's going to evolve."
"How?" Steve asks.
"Has anyone been in contact with Helen Cho?"
