"I made Ultron to be a source for peace." Tony explained.
They were in an old theater, sitting on the stage around a fire. "For law and order. But its programming evolved. It began to believe that the only way to truly bring order to the world was to control it. That's when it turned on us." "That's why Ultron didn't kill you?" Hawkeye asking, pointing his arrow towards Tony. "Because you're his daddy?" "Shh, don't say daddy around Torunn." Aisha teased, though Torunn didn't seem to care right now. "My armor was damaged in the attack. Cap told me to get the kids to safety." Tony explained. "I couldn't get to you in time, Francis." Hawkeye glared at him. "Hawkeye's name is Francis?" Pym asked, smiling. "Ow!" he said after Hawkeye hit him in the head with his arrow. "Oh…" Aisha muttered. "Barton Francis Barton…this is confusing." "I thought Ultron had already gotten to you." Tony continued. "Otherwise you would have come with the others." Hawkeye just went back to making his arrow. Tony looked around at the kids. "I raised you all…hopefully as your parents would have wanted. I owed it to them." Tony looked down. "Ultron was my fault." "Why didn't my father help?" Torunn asked a trace of sadness in her voice. "Thor left the Avengers when his father, Odin, died. His said Asguard was his responsibility from then on, not Earth." Tony explained, and Torunn looked down sadly. "A few months after we crashed, the Vision found us." Tony clarified, and Pym looked at the Vision's head that he was leaning on. "He survived by staying intangible. He became my eyes and ears in the real world. We kept track of Ultron's capabilities and movements, trying to find a way to defeat him. But I couldn't bear the thought of losing you, so I kept you hidden, and I kept the truth from you."
Hawkeye was still glaring at Tony. "Until Vision told me you were alive, I thought we were the only ones to survive Ultron's attack. I didn't know your father escaped." "You weren't the only ones, Tony." A voice behind him said. "Betty!" Tony said in surprise. It was the same old woman that had told the kids that Tony was still alive. "The Hulk survived too." She told him as he stood up. "What's a…Hulk?" Pym asked. "The Hulk is a monster, that's what my dad said. He used to tell me stories." Hawkeye said. "He said the Hulk was the strongest one there was." "What like a monster monster?" Azari asked. "With fangs and stuff?" "Francis is right." Tony agreed. "The Hulk was a monster. A creature of pure rage." "Is the Hulk strong enough to defeat Ultron?" James asked, walking over to Tony. "He won't help you James." Betty said. "He's too scared."
James looked to the side in disappointment. "He's hidden from Ultron all these years too." Tony said in amazement. "Where?" "Where he always goes." Betty replied. "The desert." Tony went up to Hawkeye. "Can you help us get out of the city?" he asked. "Yeah right, help the guy who created Ultron?" Hawkeye asked, jumping up. "Who got my dad killed? What do you think my father would've done, Stark?" "Clint?" Tony asked. "He would have punched me in the face. Then he would've helped me." "Wow." Hawkeye said, surprised. "You really knew my dad." "Huh." Aisha said. "You're just like him."
The group was looking at an old robot that was powered down, but in perfectly good condition. "We've had it for a couple of years." Hawkeye explained. "But the minute you power it up, Ultron will know. He's-" "He's wired in, I know." Tony broke in, smirking. "But I know how to wire him out."
As the kids were loading things into the ship, Hawkeye shook hands with one of the Scavengers. "We'll buy you all the time we can." They said. Hawkeye nodded. Minutes later, there were explosions all around the city, while the group zoomed out of Ultra City in the ship.
Pym slept with his head on the Vision, drooling on him. Azari laid out on that same seat, every time he inhaled his tattoos lit up. Aisha sat curled up on the ground, sucking her thumb. Tony was messing with some type of machinery. "You did a good job with them, Tony." Betty said. "I should have done better." Tony replied. "Oh." Betty sighed. "Your being too hard on yourself."
Torunn sat curled up on another seat, looking longingly out the window and out into the destroyed world they were passing. Hawkeye was looking out a circular window in the back. James walked up to him. "Everything okay?" James asked. "Yeah it's just…yeah. I've never been outside the city." Hawkeye admitted, smiling. "It's really big out here." "That's how we felt when we went inside the city." James said, and then looked out the window for a second. He then looked back at Hawkeye. "Why'd you come back for us at the Citadel? After everything you said?" James asked. "The Scavengers look up to me. They rely on me. And it's only a matter of time until Ultron wipes out every single one of them." Hawkeye said, leaning on the ledge behind him. "So if you guys have even the slightest shot at taking down Ultron, I gotta try. Otherwise, what's the point?" he paused. "Besides, anything to impress a girl, right?" he said, nudging James. "Girl?" James asked. "Wait, you mean Torunn? Dude, she's like my sister!" "Torunn? No, I was talking about Aisha." Hawkeye said. "Aisha?" James asked, and then smiled. "Yeah, 'no stuff', you've got a biiiiiggg shot with her."
