This chapter is shorter, but a lot of things happen. It took awhile to figure out how I was going to end this chapter. But I liked the way it came out. And it didn't help that I kept getting distracted while writing this chapter. I hope you enjoy and everyone had a fun St. Patty's Day!

Chapter 23-

When we see Ultron again he was joined with two young people. One a boy who was platinum blonde hair, the other a girl who had brown, red hair. They were found in the church that was centered in the streets of Sokovia.

After talking to the twins, Ultron decided that his choice was the correct one. "I wondered why only you two survived Strucker's experiments. Now I don't. We will make it right. You and I can hurt them." Turning towards the girl in the room. "But you will tear them apart, from the inside."

Back at The Avengers Tower, Steve was railing up the team. He just left Emerson at her bakery, and Liam was with her waiting for his grandparents back in Long Island. Emerson refused to hide away while everything was happening. Claiming she wasn't afraid of the stupid looking robot, who doesn't know how to robot right. Decided that it wasn't worth the fight, Steve made sure she was protected, if anything would happen. Liam was taken care of and that's all that matters. Stark put new security camera's in the bakery and the apartment, that would go straight to the Avengers Tower. For Steve to keep his eyes on things when he wasn't around.

Steve was pulled out of his thoughts when Stark took a photo out of Bruce's hand. The group was going threw all the files that they had on Strucker, after Ultron sent them a message with Strucker's dead body.

"From back in the day. He operates off the African coast, black market arms." Seeing the accusing look on Steve's look. Tony Shook his head. "There are convention, alright? You meet people, I didn't sell him anything. He was talking about finding something new, a game changer, it was all very 'Ahab'. His name is Ulysses Klaue."

"This." Thor said pointing to a scar on the tattoo back of Klaue's neck. "This is a brand."

Turning towards the computer, Bruce identified the brand on his neck. "It's a word in an Africa dialect meaning thief, in a much less friendly way."

"What dialect?" Steve asked turning towards the scientist.

"Wakanada..?" Putting his glasses on. "Wa..Wakanda."

"If this guy got out of Wakanda with some of their trade goods…" Tony said turning towards Steve.

Looking over at Tony confused, Steve said. "I thought your father said he go the last of it?"

"I don't follow. What comes out of Wakanda?" Bruce asked the two.

Looking over at Steve's shield. "The strongest metal on earth."

"Ahh, Junior." Tony said standing before Ultron in his Iron Man suit, Steve and Thor behind him. "You're gonna break your old man's heart.

"If I have to." Ultron said sizing up the three Avengers.

"We don't have to break anything." Thor said making sure he had a good grip on his hammer.

"Clearly you've never made an omelet." Ultron said walking closer.

Looking towards Steve and Thor. "He beat me by one second."

"Ah, this is funny, Mr. Stark. It's what, comfortable? Like old times?" Pietro Maximoff asked crossing his arms.

"This was never my life." Tony said shaking his head.

Steve looked past Ultron to the twins. "You two can still walk away from this."

"Oh, we will." Wanda said wiggling her fingers.

"I know you've suffered." Steve said looking concerned at the twins.

"Uuughh! Captain America. God's righteous man, pretending you could live without a war! Even that blonde women your with knows you can't live without war. I can't physically throw up in my mouth, but…" Ultron exclaimed before Thor cut him off seeing the look on Steve's face, turn from concerned to anger.

"If you believe in peace, then let us keep it." Thor said putting his arm in front of Steve.

"I think you're confusing peace with quiet." Ultron said looking over at the Demi God.

"Uh-huh. What's the Vibranium for?" Tony asked not believing a word Ultron was saying.

"I'm glad you asked that, because I wanted to take this time to explain my evil plan!" Ultron said as the Iron Legions attack Stark, Thor and Steve. After Stark finishes off one of the Iron Legions, he goes after Ultron with a blast.

Knocking down Pietro, Steve looked at the younger man. "Stay down, kid!"

Remembering the reaction Captain had with him mentioning the blond, Ultron turned toward Wanda. "It's time for some mind games."

Steve was back in his and Emerson's apartment, watching himself sitting on the floor with Liam and two little kids he didn't recognize. But he could tell that they were his children. The girl had her mom's green eyes, while the younger boy had his blue eyes. Both had the perfect combination of their parents, never looking like a carbon copy. Liam was older now, almost 14, his shaggy brown hair was cut shorter.

"I got cupcakes!" Emerson sang as she sat them down on the coffee table, her pregnant belly in clear view. As the family enjoyed the cupcakes, Steve watched Emerson put a hand on her stomach and on her chest. "Steve I need help. I, I think I'm dying."

Suddenly Liam and the two younger children grab on to their on chests, blood showing through their clothes. "Daddy save us!"

Steve leaped for Emerson, holding her close. "I can save you."

Shaking his head, Liam said. "No you can't, you choose the world instead of us. I thought you loved us."

"You should have picked us, instead, instead of the world." Emerson said before Steve was pulled out of the hallucination.

After the team found out that Barton had a family none of them but Natasha knew about, Steve sat on the guest bed and called Emerson.

"Hey babe." Steve heard Emerson's groggy voice, brightening his spirits.

"Hey doll. Did I wake you?" Steve asked laying on the bed.

Emerson sat up, carefully trying not to wake up the sleeping seven year old. "Yeah but its fine. I was just taking a nap before going back down to the bakery."

"Is Liam at your parents?" Steve asked. "I think this is going to take a lot longer then excepted."

"No not yet. We were taking a nap before heading back to the bakery. What happened?" Steve's mind went back to the vision, replaying Steve watching Emerson bleed out in his arms. "Steve, baby whats wrong?"

"Uh you remember the twins, right? Well the girl can give you hallucinations, she managed to get into Thor, Natasha, Bruce and my own mind. Bring up bad things that had happened or things that you just don't want to happen."

"What did you see?" Emerson asked softly, knowing that it wouldn't be good. She saw the news where the Hulk almost completely destroyed a city. If that could happen, she knew nothing good could come of it.

Sighing softly, Steve covered his face. "It started out good actually, it was a few years into the future. We had a son and daughter and you were pregnant. Liam was playing with his little sister with barbies. But then all over a sudden you and our kids started bleeding. I watched you bleed out in my arms. I couldn't save you, there was nothing I could do. Because I choose the world instead of my family."

"Oh Steve, hun you know that will never ever happen." Emerson said wanting to reach out to him. "God I wish you were here, so I could comfort you."

"I wish I was there too." Hearing Liam say mommy. "Is Liam up?"

"He is. Do you want to talk to him? He misses you." Emerson asked looking down at her yawning son.

"Yeah I do." Steve said smiling softly once he heard ruffling, before hearing Liam's voice on the other line. "Hey Liam."

"Hi daddy. Did you catch the bad guy yet?" Liam asked excitedly.

"No not yet. But we are really close." Steve said his smile growing. Liam always wanted to hear about the missions he would go on. Sure he wouldn't give him all the gory details. But Liam was excited when Steve told him that threw his motorcycle at a bunch of bad guys.

"I want to be a superhero like you when I grow up." Liam said as he followed Emerson down to the bakery. "I want to beat up bad guys and throw bikes at bag guys. And be super strong. You are super strong. You moved the whole couch by yourself! I was still sitting on the couch! Do you remember that daddy?"

Laughing softly. "Yeah Liam, I do. Your mom wanted to clean under the couch because somebody kept throwing their toys under it."

"Its the perfect hiding spot!" Liam exclaimed. "Duh daddy."

"I understand that, but you are going to have to find a different hiding spot." Steve said nodding his head at Tony. "Liam I have to go chop some wood. Be good for your mom until your grandparents get there."

"I will. Bye daddy."

"Bye Liam. Love you."

"Love you too." Liam said before hanging up the phone.

Grabbing an axe, Steve began chopping the wood pile Laura, Barton's wife, gave him. Tony was talking about how he could adjust something in his suit and everything was going over Steve's head. He was finally getting used to having a phone on him all the time and being able to take a computer into any room you wanted as long as there was wifi available. But Tony's suits were a completely different story.

"So how the family life going?" Tony asked, a question Steve could actually answer.

Smiling softly as he chopped one of the pieces of wood. "Good, really good. We get to find out the sex of the baby in a couple of weeks. As long as the baby is sitting in the right position."

"That's good." Tony said nodding. "Emerson is a great women. And the kid, he is a chatter box."

"Yes, yes he is." Steve chuckled. "He is a handful. I don't know how Emerson did it all by herself for 6 years. I love the kid, but I feel like I have to take a nap after I watch him for 6 minutes."

Turning towards the super soldier, Tony smirked. "Well that's because she is a 25 year old. You are 95 years old, you should be in a nursing home."

"Well it took 95 years and 70 of them I was frozen in ice, but I'm finally getting the life I always wanted." Steve said nodding his head as he swung the axe.

Agreeing with Steve. "Exactly! It was why Banner and I were doing research."

"That would affect the team." Steve said turning towards the billionaire.

Shaking his head, he set his axe down. "That would end the team. Isn't that the mission? Isn't that the 'why' we fight, so we can end the fight, so we get to go home? Be with our families, not have to hide them in the middle of no where." Throwing his arms around him, looking at farm. "Isn't that what Emerson wants? You not to be out saving the world? But staying home with her and your children?"

Before Steve could respond, Steve phone started ringing. Looking down at the caller id he saw that Emerson was calling him. "Hey Em."

"Daddy, mommy got taken by a super fast guy." Liam said his voice crackling. "I don't know where she went."
