"Nico, why are there cosplay Avengers in our lair?" Karolina asked.

"I don't know, Karolina, but if they don't put Molly down and leave, they're gonna get disassembled!" Nico pointed.

Old Lace growled. "My thoughts exactly." Chase agreed.

"Wait, she's fine, really-." Patriot started.

"She attacked us!" Hawkeye lifted her glasses from her eyes.

"And then just went to sleep!" Wiccan added.

"Guys! A little help here!" Trini cried as she reached out to grab Victor's arm; only to get electrocuted as well. "Ah!"

"Vision, what are you doing!" Stature ran towards Vision and Victor.

"You use a robot to ambush us!" Xavin taunted as she stepped forward. "That is the ultimate cowardice!"

"Just let her through! She can talk to him!" Wiccan insisted.

Trini tried again, this time, her hand was coated in a white glow as she grabbed his arm. It didn't hurt this time. She tugged at him; hearing a fight break out between the two teams. "Great, just what we needed…more enemies!"

"Vision, stop!" Stature yanked Vision from Victor. Trini gripped Victor from collapsing to the floor.

"Victor!" His eyes were glowing; he was stumbling against Trini. "Oh, god. What the hell did he do to you?" He coughed up oil onto her cheek. It was like acid; sizzling and burning. "OW!"

"Oh, god, are you guys-."

"Everyone…Chill Out." Nico's voice rang over all the yelling and screaming; snow exploded from her Staff; swarming over the underground lair.

Getting Outside

Stature carried Trini and Victor out of the freezing cavern. "J-Jesus, Nico…'c-chill out'? Really?" Trini mumbled as she was set down next to Victor.

"Yeah! You turned our secret underground lair into Planet Hoth!" Chase shouted as he rubbed Old Lace's head. " I was eyeing Old Lace like she was a taun taun for a minute there."

"D-dinosaurs are cold-blooded. H-he couldn't have kept you warm." Wiccan started.

"It was a joke, professor." Chase added.

"And O-Old Lace is a girl…" Trini added.

"I appreciate you putting a stop to this. But we don't have much time to get you guys out of-." Patriot started.

"Slow down." Nico looked back at him. "What makes you think my stopping the fight means we want your help? We don't even know who you guys are…"

"We're the Young Avengers." Hawkeye answered.

"So what?" Trini choked out; her whole face felt as if it was on fire. "You guys are like, Avengers in training or some shit? And aren't The Avengers the reason we got hunted down in the first place." She gripped her head.

"Some of them are," Hawkeye explained, "But we're just trying to help your friend…the one that got blown apart."

"And it appears to be more complicated than it seems…" Vision stated as he sauntered forward.

"Well if it isn't the Not-So-Friendly-Ghost." Nico commented.

"I-I am sorry for my behavior today," Vision apologized, "Your Cybernetic friend and I appear to share many of the same programming codes electromagnetic signatures. This is why I felt pain when I saw him damaged at your local news."

"H-his signatures surged through the television signals." Trini stated as she tried to get up.

"But how's that possible, Vision?" Hawkeye pulled her hoddie down. "Your body is telekinetic armor from the 60th Century…how is that compatible with 21st century tech?"

"My programming is nothing more than the original vision software, developed by Ultron in the late 20th century. It's not-."

"Whoa, back up. Did you say Ultron?" Chase questioned.

"That explains it." Trini tilted her head to the side.

"Victor is Ultron's son!" Chase explained. "A version of Ultron at least. He invented Victor to kill every superhero on Earth and take over the world eventually."

"Wait, you guys have a future murderous despot on your team, too?" Wiccan turned to Karolina.

"What, you guys have one?" Karolina turned back to Wiccan.

"We did. Iron Lad is the Future Kang the Conqueror. It was pretty hard to deal with." Wiccan answered.

"Yeah, it does raise a lot of questions of moral, doesn't it?"

"Our Code must be so similar that we create confusing feedback." Vision compromised. "I may be able to help your friend. But not here. Perhaps at the secret Avengers headquarters I can use the maintenance to work on him remotely."

"Then it's settled," Patriot decided, "we're taking you to Captain America."

"Captain America!" Trini trembled. The blackness spread throughout her veins; downwards her legs. She wasn't able to hold herself up anymore. "Fuck no!"

"Exactly!" Nico agreed. "Last time we saw him, he put us in foster homes!"

"Besides, how do we know Vision isn't making Vic worse!" That's it; she lost it and collapsed to the ground. Chase bent over and pulled one arm around his shoulder.

"Easy, Trinket." He soothed.

"What's wrong with her?" Hawkeye pointed.

"Oil screws me up apparently." Trini answered with deep breaths.

"Either way, it's a chance worth willing to take." Patriot began. "His side is the only one that will help people like you."

"And what kind of people is that?" Chase cocked a brow.

"Unregistered heroes." Patriot crossed his arms.

"Don't you guys watch the news? A war is going on!" Hawkeye snapped.

"A war between adults! If we just jump and pick a side, we're no better than they are!" Nico spat back.

Chase gripped Trini to his side in anger. "You think we're wannabes like you guys! You think we want-."

KABOOM!

The group of arguing teens stopped to see Speed with a sheepish expression. "Uh…she made me." He pointed at Molly.

She was jumping up in down in excitement. "Guys! Tommy can make rocks blow up!"

Trini sat next to Victor as Cassie wiped the oil from his mouth. "My name's Cassie." Stature introduced.

"Trini," The angel nodded, "Sorry about my team. They tend to have a distinct distrust for adults…and people who work with them." She glanced down at Victor with a sigh.

"He's gonna be okay." Cassie assured with a smile.

"I hope." Trini patted his shoulder.

Patriot strolled up to the three. Cassie panned upward. "This really is war, isn't it? We have to help them, Eli."

Patriot glanced at Trini, then faced Cassie once more.

"We can only help the is they let us."
