I don't own The Avengers. Marvel Does. I only own my OCs.
Carol double checked her calendar on her smart phone, confirming that today was her birthday. Officially, more than a month passed since Ultron came to life and she was hoping he would remember their promise. Once she stepped out of the shower, she made a beeline towards her bedroom, where she brushed her hair. After she slipped on her bikini, Carol searched her closet for a suitable dress. She may have overheard her parents discussing with Janette on the birthday cake, but she figured she could wait until she and Ultron came back from their first date. Once she found a cute dress, she slipped it on and searched the room for her sandals. After she slipped on her sandals, she picked up her smart phone from her nightstand and scrolled through her calendar, glossing over the date Pastor Milford was supposed to have his trial. She closed out the calendar and began scanning the assorted jewelry on top of the dresser, wondering which set she should wear for her first date. She figured that she could brush it off until later, so she set off to check her inventory for her handbag. She stashed her towel, her wallet, her keys and her mp3 player into her handbag. She returned her focus to the top of the dresser and found a cute set of jewelry that she felt would look great on her. Carol started by putting on her necklace and then she put on her earrings.
Satisfied with her look, Carol stashed her smart phone into her handbag and emerged from her bedroom before meandering into the living room, which caught Andrew, Lacy and Janette's attention.
"Wow, Carol," chirped Janette, "you look great!"
"Thanks," smiled Carol.
"You look positively amazing, sweetie. But before you go out, could I…could I talk to you privately?" her father asked.
Andrew looked concerned as Carol nodded, the others giving them space as they headed for the kitchen, Andrew clearing his throat.
"I just want you to know that…as your father, of course I'm always concerned about, well…who you take home," he said bluntly.
"I know, I know," Carol admitted.
"And finding out your boyfriend was a robot was something of a surprise to me. Quite the shock. But…so far," Andrew nodded his head slightly, "I've had time to talk to him and I've really, really been surprised at how polite, and civil and gentlemanly he is with you."
He put a hand on her shoulder.
"So I want you to know that I'm happy for you," Andrew said with a smile.
"Thanks, dad," chirped Carol.
"You're welcome," replied Andrew, "Mr. Stark called this morning and said that the Avengers would like to wish you a happy birthday."
Carol couldn't help but smile. Just then, Ultron landed on the balcony and opened the sliding door.
"Ah, Ultron! Good morning," Andrew blurted as he smiled over at Carol, "I'll, ah…leave you two alone."
Andrew chuckled, waving goodbye as he exited the room, leaving Ultron with Carol. The sentient robot stepped into the apartment and knelt down, allowing Carol to sprint towards him and give him a warm embrace.
"Happy birthday," Ultron murmured.
Carol didn't respond, but she nuzzled her face against Ultron's.
"I've picked out a traditional birthday date location that I believed you'd enjoy. Of course, if you don't want to go, that's perfectly fine, but…" Ultron continued.
Ultron reached into a chest compartment, and pulled out a small brochure for 'Six Flags: Hurricane Harbor' in New Jersey.
"What do you think?" he asked.
Carol's face lit up as she examined the brochure.
"Hey, you remembered!" chirped Carol.
Ultron smiled warmly at this.
"Well…I do have quite the photographic memory. Literally," he said, tapping the side of his head with a cheeky little grin.
"Then let's get going!" chirped Carol.
Once she stashed the brochure into her handbag, Ultron led Carol out into the balcony, where he lifted her into his arms and she wrapped her arms around him, holding onto him tightly.
"Mr. Harvey…" Ultron said with a nod at Carol's father before he winked at Carol, "now hold on tight."
Ultron whisked Carol away, off into the wild blue yonder. She turned her head, staring at the ground below in amazement as the sentient robot flew in the air.
"Do you have a preferred song appropriate for this?" Ultron inquired with a wry smile.
They soared over hill and plains, the clouds passing by around them as he spun slightly before sweeping low, over the tops of trees as leaves fluttered around them.
"How about something from How to Train Your Dragon?" suggested Carol.
"You'd like, perhaps, to take me for a…test drive?" Ultron asked.
His cheek compartments opened up, and little stereos manifested.
"A bit of a last-minute addition that Stark suggested I make," he admitted, "said you would 'go nuts for it'."
"That's great!" Carol chirped.
Carol held onto Ultron as they continued their flight. They continued to soar, making their way over wide stretches of New England before, at last, they passed over the New Jersey lines, touching down at Six Flags. Naturally, people stared at the robot who was holding hands with a woman, whispering quietly, people deciding to take a few steps far away from the two as they approached the ticket booth.
"Hello. I pre-purchased tickets?" said Ultron.
"Um…y-yeah, j-just…lemme…scan 'em," The ticket master muttered.
Ultron pulled the tickets out of his chest compartment and handed them to the ticket master, the blonde-haired man looking them over. Once the ticket master finished scanning the tickets, he handed them to Ultron and Carol.
"Er…one little thing, though…how, um…how much do you weigh?" The ticket master asked.
Ultron folded his arms.
"Shameful. You don't ask a woman her weight," Ultron remarked with a frown.
"No, not her, I mean you," the ticket master corrected.
Ultron realized what he was implying.
"Ohhh. Am I…too heavy for the rides?" Ultron sheepishly inquired.
"You might be, yeaaaah," stammered the ticket master.
Ultron and Carol carefully read the brochure.
"You know," offered Ultron, "maybe I'll refrain from using the tubes you provide here."
"Good idea," agreed the ticket master, "we offer Play Money so you wouldn't have to worry about wet cash. Would you like to give it a try?"
"That would be great!" nodded Carol.
After taking in the play money wristbands, Ultron and Carol headed over to the lockers, where she stored her handbag after she slipped off her dress and sandals. He led her to the shower stalls where they sprayed themselves with water. They decided to head to the wave pool, where they knew they could enjoy the water together as Ultron and her waded in with the rest of 'Hurricane Harbor's' inhabitants.
"Good thing I'm waterproof," Ultron chuckled.
"Mommy," chirped a kid, gesturing to Ultron, "do you think she built that robot?"
"I don't think so," answered the kid's mother.
"Wow!" clamored another kid, "I want one, dad!"
The waves splashed over them with mighty KER-SPLOOOSHES, Ultron smiling warmly at Carol as he held her hand.
"You know, it's hard for me to feel, almost. Even with the greatest advances in technology, it's hard to feel wet, even here in the ocean. But there is one thing I do feel," Ultron admitted softly, lovingly staring deep into her eyes.
"Aww, it's ok!" chirped Carol.
Carol hugged Ultron's leg. He slightly chuckled at this before another wave swept into them with a KER-SPLOOOSH, and he grinned.
"I do so hope you're having a good time. After this, would you wish to try the tubes?" proposed Ultron, "I can wait for you."
"Maybe in fifteen minutes or so," answered Carol.
Ultron nodded, the two enjoying some more nice waves as he placed a hand on her hip, the other holding her hand as the two then began a little dance, sweeping back and forth in the harbor. In those minutes together, there existed nothing else, but the waves…and the waltz. Ultron lifted Carol into his arms when he noticed that the waves started to dissipate.
"Oh," paused Carol, "I guess this pool's taking a break from wave making."
"Shall I take you to the tube ride? It's your special day, after all," Ultron offered.
"Sure!" Carol nodded, "let's get going!"
Ultron carried Carol out of the Blue Lagoon and wandered around the park until they reached the Four Winds, consisting of Boreas, Eurus, Zephyrus and Nortus.
"Ahhh, if only I wasn't too heavy to ride," Ultron confessed wistfully.
Sympathy glistening in her eyes, Carol gave Ultron a kiss.
"You could always wait for me at the bottom, right?" Carol cooed.
Ultron smiled and nodded, giving her another kiss himself.
"Have fun," Ultron offered to her.
Ultron set Carol down, allowing her to step into the line heading through the stairs to the top of the ride. Soon, Carol was heading up the line and to the top of the line, Ultron watching on as the light caught her, her face almost beautifully illuminated by the rays of the morning sun. At the same time, Carol watched as other guests slid down the water slides on tubes. Minutes later, Ultron eagerly watched as Carol slid on down the water slides, happily squealing as she went on down, smiling at the sight. It looked like she was truly enjoying herself immensely! She reached the bottom of the slide with a splash into the small pool. Not caring that she was wet, she hopped out of the tube and swam out of the pool.
"That does look enjoyable!" Ultron complimented as she approached him, "hmm. If I had a less heavy body it'd be far easier to enjoy more with you…"
"Maybe we could talk to Mr. Stark about finding a water slide suitable for robots and humans alike," suggested Carol.
"Or perhaps a lighter material to build me out of," Ultron admitted, looking himself over, "perhaps Thor could be of use. Their technology is fascinating."
"Why don't we go see what other rides I can try out for now?" Carol offered.
"Do you have any ideas?" Ultron asked.
"Actually, I was thinking Hurricane Mountain," Carol offered.
She led him towards the enormous sets of slides as Ultron wistfully sighed.
"Oh, those do look fun," he admitted sadly.
Ultron approached the entrance and set Carol down to the ground. Sighing, she approached one of the lifeguards.
"Do you think my boyfriend here is too heavy for this ride?" asked Carol.
The lifeguard carefully examined Ultron.
"He can opt out of using the tubes or toboggans," the lifeguard suggested.
"Thanks!" chirped Carol.
"You're…sure I could give it a try?" Ultron nervously asked, looking the first tube over, rubbing his chin.
"C'mon. Live a little," Carol said with a wink as she then gave Ultron a sly kiss on the cheek.
Smiling, Ultron followed Carol up the stairs, though they had to wait in line. Once they reached the top, they approached the entrance of two different slides while Carol grabbed a tube and hopped on.
"You ready?" she asked as they finally approached the opening to the tube, Ultron nodding firmly.
"I think I can do this," he nodded, "oh, I just hope I do not break it."
Carol and Ultron waited for the previous guests to reach the bottom of the slides, sitting at the top of their slides while holding onto nearby bars. Once the lifeguard nodded in approval, they both let go of the bars. The two of them slid down, dooooown into the tube below, Ultron almost holding his breath before realizing something. The tube…it wasn't breaking at all. It wasn't buckling, it wasn't bending, it was…fine and fun! Ultron felt like he enjoyed himself as he slid down the tube. Once they reached the bottom of the slide, Carol and Ultron splashed into the pool.
"I…I didn't break it!" Ultron gasped, feeling over his body, eyes wide in surprise, "I'm…not heavy enough! Well that's good!"
Carol giggled and hugged Ultron's leg.
"I had a blast, too!" chirped Carol, "can we go again?"
"Of course, we can," Ultron chuckled.
Over the course of the late morning, Ultron and Carol slid down the tube slides of Hurricane Mountain a few times. After that, the sentient robot noticed that it was half past twelve, so he and Carol headed over to Paradise Pizza and Grill for lunch. After that, they relaxed on beach chairs at Discovery Bay, not minding the sound of children playing while a few bystanders made a brief glance at the silver robot. Half an hour later, Carol and Ultron set off to ride in the Big Wave Racer, Carol set off to ride the Tornado while Ultron waited at the small pool, they both went on the Big Bambu and Reef Runner before they finally went on the Bada Bing, Bada Bang, Bada Boom slide a couple times. By now, Ultron and Carol emerged from the small pool.
"Say, what time is it?" asked Carol.
"I'd say around three thirty," answered Ultron.
Carol couldn't help but giggle.
"I think I've had enough fun here for today," requested Carol, "can we go now? I was thinking of going to Coney Island Beach and watch the sunset."
"We can do that," Ultron nodded as he smiled.
Ultron led Carol through the park until they reached the lockers, where Ultron unlocked one of the locker closets, allowing Carol to pull out her handbag, her dress and her sandals. She pulled out her towels and dried herself and Ultron. They both scurried into one of the changing rooms, where Carol slipped out of her swimsuit, put on some clean underwear and slipped on her dress and sandals. They walked over to the ticket booth, where they exchanged the wristbands for leftover money. After that, they exited the park.
"I have to say," Ultron confessed, "I've been a bit worried about whether or not I could enjoy all that with you, but knowing I would be able to share it, it…it made me really, truly happy. I wanted this day to be what you wanted, but I was hoping that I could truly enjoy it with you, and now that I did, I…I almost wish every day could be like this."
Ultron gently caressed her cheek.
"Do you think this is what normal couples feel like?" asked Ultron.
"I guess so," nodded Carol.
Ultron lifted her up, and they soared off towards Coney Island Beach. It was only a while before they arrived at the beach, so he descended until he landed on the sand. The setting rays of the sun made the horizon look as though it was a fire that was slowly being extinguished, deep reds and orange blending together, soon giving away to faint purple and black of night as they arrived at the beach and began to stroll across it. A gentle wind blew against Carol's skin as the setting sun began to sink beyond the horizon, a deep red gem being swallowed up by endless ocean as the faintest glimmer of starlight began to poke its head over the soon-to-arrive night sky. Carol smiled as she nuzzled her face against Ultron's.
"Ultron," requested Carol, "can we take a picture here?"
Ultron gave Carol a blank stare for a few seconds.
"Why do you ask?" Ultron paused.
"I thought I'd send a selfie to our Avenger buddies," explained Carol.
Ultron set Carol onto the ground.
"That sounds like a fine idea," Ultron nodded, opening up a chest compartment.
"Let's make it high-definition," he chuckled.
Ultron pulled out an advanced-looking 'Nikon' camera and chuckling as he set it up on the beach before going back over to Carol.
"It'll go off in thirty seconds," announced Ultron.
Ultron lifted Carol into his arms and they smiled while facing the camera. The camera ticked down, more and more, five…four…three…two…one…
SNAP!
Ultron approached the camera and examined the photo it took.
"Tell me…what do you think?" he asked, showing off the photograph to Carol, "I haven't done a 'selfie' before."
"It looks great!" chirped Carol, "I could post it on Twitter through my phone."
Ultron chuckled, pressing a few buttons on the camera, and with a PING, she now saw it sent to her via IM.
"I imagine the Avengers might get quite the surprise seeing this," he confessed.
"Yeah," agreed Carol.
Carol uploaded the photo to her Twitter and wrote down a caption:
{Ultron and I are now in a relationship.}
Meanwhile, at the new Avengers facility, the Avengers happened to see the Twitter update. Steve blinked as he looked down at his own phone at the gym, having finished up some rounds with a punching bag. Seeing the notification, his eyes widened.
"Oh!" he remarked aloud.
"Should have seen this coming," Tony commented, looking his own phone over.
"Aw, they're cute together," Natasha informed Clint whilst Bruce Banner meanwhile, still in his Hulk form, grunted. He'd kept his phone and was trying in vain to check it out…but his fingers were just too darn big.
"GRRRR!"
Pietro happened to notice Bruce's frustration.
"Need some help, big guy?" asked Pietro.
"HULK HATE APPLE," Hulk grunted as he handed Pietro the cellphone, Pietro swiping it and bringing up Twitter.
"Awwww, look at them!" Pietro chirped.
Pietro carefully handed the iPhone back to the Hulk as Hulk chuckled a bit, smiling warmly as the anger began to fade and he began to change back into Banner.
"The two are adorable," Bruce admitted.
"Is that what Viszh meant about Ultron finding someone who loved him?" asked Wanda.
"You mean Vision?" Pietro asked.
Bruce tried to put on a t-shirt, Pietro chuckling as Bruce looked over his shirt.
"One day I'll find a shirt that can stretch just as much as me," he sighed, looking down at his purple briefs.
Meanwhile, Ultron and Carol were sitting at the beach with Carol in the silver robot's lap as they watched the sunset. He would occasionally brush a few stray hairs from her face while she nestled into his embrace.
"So, what do you think we should do for dinner?" asked Carol, "do you have any ideas?"
Ultron smiled tenderly at her.
"It's your special day. Whatever you'd enjoy, I will provide," he promised.
Carol nodded in agreement and pulled out her smart phone. She began searching the Internet for any possible restaurants that might be suitable for their date.
"Maybe Il Bambino?" suggested Carol.
"Ahh, Italian. Classy. Anything but shawarma," Ultron confessed, "I don't know why, but I simply despise the mere concept of it…for some reason I feel very awkward picturing it."
"That's ok," replied Carol, "I just felt like Italian tonight."
Ultron stood to his full height with Carol in his arms and took off into the sky. Once he flew deep enough into the city, he descended until he landed in front of the restaurant, where he set Carol to the ground and led her inside. Once they sat down a table, Carol received her order of water and began reading the menu, anticipating to try out whatever dish would be great for her dinner.
I'm still open to suggestions on how to continue the fanfic.
Please leave a review, so Ultron and Loki would be happy.
