The Avengers make their way to Helen Cho's office to help her knowing Ultron is there. Steve and Gabrielle ran towards the building stopping on a overpass near the highways.
"Gabrielle, like Wanda you can connect to minds," Steve says, "Try connecting to Helen's."
"On it," Gabi says focusing, "I got her, she's under the scepter's control...Ah!"
Gabi's eyes flash as she sees what the android is thinking, she stumbles back breathing heavily.
"Gabrielle!" Steve yells trying to break her out of her trance, "Something is going on in there and we lost Gabrielle."
"Go Steve, let Gabrielle focus. Maybe she can find something else," Clint says.
"On it."
Steve heads off leaving Gabrielle behind, after recomposing herself Gabrielle follows the trail left by Pietro and Wanda. She slips in and out of the shadows looking for them when she finally finds them.
"You can stop him ya know," Gabi says walking up.
"How do you know?" Pietro asks.
"Because you have the powers to."
"How do you know we can help?"
"You wouldn't be here still if you know you couldn't help stop Ultron."
"Why do you try and convince us of that?" Wanda asks.
"Because I was like you once, the Red Skull messed with my head and I willing worked for him to destroy my brother and the Avengers. But then they saved me and now I am a hero because of them."
"Gabrielle, I need your help," Natasha says over the com.
"On my way," Gabi says leaving the two, "Just so you know you do have the choice of either being a hero or wait to die at that maniacs hands."
Gabi runs off using the shadows to get to Natasha faster, once she gets there she hops onto her bike.
"Here, your man dropped this," Nat says handing Gabi Steve's shield.
"Of course he did," Gabi says.
"Get ready."
Gabi nods, soon they get close to the truck that Ultron and Steve are fighting on. Gabi jumps up and attacks Ultron with her powers knocking him back a little. Her and Steve fight him the best they can and thankfully Pietro and Wanda join in the battle on their side. That night at the tower Tony and Bruce start to bring the android online despite Steve and Gabrielle's warnings. The one who does is Thor.
"You helped create this?" Steve asks walking in the living room with the others.
"I've had a vision," Thor explains, "A whirlpool that sucks in all hope of life and at it's center is that."
"What, the gem?" Tony asks.
"It's the Mind Stone. It's one of the six Infinity Stones, the greatest power in the universe, unparalleled in its destructive capabilities."
"Then why would you bring it to..." Steve starts.
"Because Stark is right."
"Oh, it's definitely the end times," Bruce says.
"The Avengers cannot defeat Ultron," Vision says, "Not alone."
"Why does your "vision" sound like Jarvis?" Clint asks.
"We reconfigured Jarvis' matrix to create something new," Bruce answers.
"I think I've had my fill of new."
"You think I'm a child of Ultron?" Vision asks.
"You're not?" Steve asks.
"I'm not Ultron. I'm not Jarvis. I am...I am."
"I looked in your head and saw annihilation," Wanda says.
"I saw it as well," Gabi adds.
"Look again."
"Yeah. Her seal of approval means jack to me," Clint says.
"Their powers. The horrors in our heads. Ultron himself. They all came from the Mind Stone, and they're nothing compared to what it can unleash," Vision says.
"But with it on our side..." Gabi mumbles.
"Is it? Are you?" Steve asks, "On our side?"
"I don't think it's that simple," Vision says.
"Well it better get real simple real soon," Clint says.
"I'm on the side of life. Ultron isn't. He will end it all."
"What's he waiting for?"
"You."
"Where?" Tony asks.
"Sokovia."
"He's got Nat there too," Clint adds.
"If we're wrong about you," Thor says, "if you're the monster that Ultron made you to be."
"What will you do?" Vision asks, "I don't want to kill Ultron. He's unique. And he's in pain. But that pain will roll over the earth, so he must be destroyed. Every form he's built, every trace of his presence on the 'net, we have to act now. And not one of us can do it without the others. Maybe I am a monster. I don't think I'd know if I were one. I'm not what you are. And not what you intended. So there may be no way to make you trust me. But we need to go."
He lifts and holds out Thor's hammer making the Avengers look in utter shock. All of them have tried and failed to lift the hammer yet this android was able to.
"And I am not the only one here who is worthy of the hammer," Vision says.
"Who else is?" Thor asks.
Vision smirks and tosses the hammer at Gabrielle, she lets out a squeak as she grabs the hammer. Everyone looks at her expecting her to fall to the floor but she holds the hammer easily in her hands. she looks at the hammer in shock, she can also lift it...how the hell can she also lift the hammer? She looks at everyone to see their looks of even more shock and disbelief especially Tony and Steve. She quickly throws Thor his hammer and tries to become small.
"Well then, lets us be off," Thor says as everyone goes and gets ready for the battle.
"Good evening, boss," Tony says to Steve.
"No way we all get through this. If even one tin soldier is left standing, we've lost," Steve says.
"It's gonna be blood on the floor."
"I got no plans tomorrow night."
"I get first crack at the big guy. Iron Man's the one he's waiting for."
"That's true, he hates you the most," Vision says walking by.
"Ultron knows we're coming. Odds are we'll be riding into heavy fire," Gabi says.
"And that's what we signed up for. But the people of Sokovia, they didn't," Steve says, "So our priority is getting them out."
They all head off and go to Sokovia, Wanda Pietro and Gabrielle use their powers to get the people to leave the city before the battle breaks out. Unfortunately many people were not able to get out in time and the city was lifted into the air surrounded by Ultron robots. The Avengers fight against them as well as protect the people left in the city, they try to think of ways to save the people but there are not many options. Steve, Pietro, Natasha and Gabrielle all stand together watching the cloads as they raise higher and higher.
"The anti-gravs are rigged to flip. Touch 'em, they'll go full reverse thrust. The city's not coming down slow," Tony says into the coms, "The spire's Vibranium. If I get Thor to hit it..."
"It'll crack, but that's not enough, the impact would still be devastating," FRIDAY says.
"Maybe if we could cap the other end, keep the atomic action doubling back."
"That could vaporize the city. And everyone on it."
"The next wave's gonna hit any minute," Steve says, "What have you got, Stark?"
"Well, nothing great," Tony says, "Maybe a way to blow up the 'll keep it from impacting the surface if you guys can get clear."
"I asked for a solution, not an escape plan."
"Impact radius is getting bigger every second," Gabi says, "We're going to have to make a choice."
"Cap, these people are going nowhere. If Stark finds a way to blow this rock..." Natasha says.
"Not 'til everyone's safe," Steve says, "Gabrielle, can you teleport the people to safety?"
"I could have been able to hours ago, but not now. We are too high up, if I tried they would all die," Gabi answers.
"Everyone up here versus everyone down there? There's no math there," Natasha adds.
"I'm not leaving this rock with one civilian on it," Steve says.
"I didn't say we should leave," Natasha says, "There's worse ways to go."
"Well then I should get one thing before it all ends," Steve says.
"And what is that?"
Steve looks at Gabi and she gives him a confused look, he smiles and pulls her close for a deep kiss utterly shocking her. She soon gives in and kisses him back.
"What, what is Steve doing?" Tony asks over the com.
"He is kissing Gabrielle," Natasha answers.
"WHAT!?" Tony yells.
"Hurt her I hurt you, she is my sister ya know," Pietro growls.
Gabi laughs and Steve looks confused.
"Pietro, Wanda and I just mutually agree that we are now siblings since we are all enhanced and were born on the same day at the same time," Gabi says.
"Well that was something," Natasha says, "Also where else am I gonna get a view like this?"
"Glad you like the view, Romanoff. It's about to get better," Fury says as the helicarrier comes into sight, "Nice, right? I pulled her out of mothballs with a couple of old friends. She's dusty, but she'll do."
"Fury, you son of a bitch," Steve says.
"Oooh! You kiss your mother with that mouth?"
"Altitude is 18,000 and climbing," Hill says, "Lifeboats secure to deploy. Disengage in 3, 2...take 'em out."
"This is SHIELD?" Pietro asks.
"This is what SHIELD's supposed to be," Steve answers.
"This is not so bad."
"Let's load 'em up," Fury says.
"Sir, we have multiple bogies converging on our starboard flank," An agent says looking at the computer screen.
"Show 'em what we got. You're up."
"Yes! Now this is gonna be a good story," Rhodey says taking out the robots.
"Yup. If you live to tell it," Tony says coming up to help his friend.
"You think I can't hold my own?"
"We get through this, I'll hold your own."
"You had to make it weird."
