SO please don't shoot me for how long I have been away. I shouldn't really be updating at the moment, I have so many assignments due it's not funny. I can't update Verity Quinn, at least not for a couple of weeks and I really want to apologize for that.

I have a small surprise for Fraylee shippers at the end of this chapter as a small I'm sorry.

I don't own anything except for Shaylee, Katy and Noah.

Enjoy.

"No way" Shaylee breathed before fluttering her wings attentively. Her feet rose several feet off the ground before the seventeen year old yet out a delighted squeal and few circles around the group. Katy let out a small laugh at the excitement of the seventeen year old, her grip accidentally tightening on Azari's hand. Katy's face flushed, Azari just laughed lightly before squeezing her hand in response. Shaylee landed not long after, she sat down next to Francis in the small circle that the children had formed.

"I created Ultron to be a force for piece, for law and order, but its programming evolved and 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." Tony informed the group once Shaylee had landed.

That's why Ultron turned on you, because you're his Daddy?

My armour was damaged in the attack; Cap told me to get the kids to safety… I couldn't get to you in time Francis" Tony said, his eyes were downcast, refusing to meet the eyes of the children

Hawkeye's name is Francis… ouch" Pym cried flinching away from Francis after the older boy had hit him in the back of the head with the feathered end of an arrow.

"I thought Ultron had already gotten to you, otherwise you would have come with the others." Tony continues not bothering with the small outburst that came from Pym.

"Shaylee you were also supposed to come with me to safety, but I don't really know what happened" Tony sighed running his hand through his hair.

"Uh… yeah... I kind of ran away. I remember Mom, strapping me into some weird ship. She told me to stay put… I didn't want to, so when she left I undid my seat belt and wandered out into the fighting. I went to find her" Shaylee informed the group quietly. Francis gave Shaylee a small smile and grabbed her hand in an attempt to comfort her.

"I raised you all, hopefully as your parents would have wanted. I owed it to them; Ultron was my fault" Tony stated, his eyes sweeping over the children.

"Why didn't my father help" Torunn asked, her voice was full of curiosity and confusion

Thor left the avengers, when his father Odin died. He said Asgard was his responsibility from then on not earth." Tony informed the young blonde. Torunn frowned and looked down, obviously upset but the information. James placed a comforting hand on her shoulder; she gave him a small smile.

"A few months after we crashed the vision found us, he survived by staying intangible, he became my eyes and ears in the real world. We kept track of Ultron capability's 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." Tony continued allthe while making sure he made eye contact with everyone at least once.

"Until vision told me that you were alive, I thought that we were the only ones to survive Ultron's attack; I didn't know that your parents escaped" He continue, looking at Noah, Katy, Shaylee and Francis in the process.

"You weren't the only ones Tony." A frail voice said from behind the older man.

Betty?" Tony asked in utter happiness. The older woman know as Betty; smiled and nodded.

"The hulk survived as well" She informed him.

"What's a hulk?" Pym asked, his face etched with confusion.

"The Hulk is a monster. That's what my dad said, he used to tell me stores; he said that the Hulk was the strongest one there was" Francis said interrupting Tony before the older man could answer.

"What like a monster, monster? With fangs and stuff?" Azari asked with was small scoff not believing what Francis had said.

"Francis is fright the hulk was a monster, a creature of pure rage" Tony informed the children with a solemn face.

"Is the hulk strong enough to defeat Ultron?" James asked hopefully, looking up at Tony.

Tony shook his head before saying "He won't help you James, he's too scared" Tony then looked over to Betty.

"He's hidden from Ultron all these years too, where?"

"Where he always goes, the desert" Betty said in a soft voice. Tony sat in silence for several moments before his eyes shinned with a newly found idea.

"Can you help us get out of the city?" Tony asked looking over to Francis, Shaylee, Katy and Noah. Francis' face contorted into anger before he stood up and march towards Tony.

"Yeah right, help the guy who created Ultron, helped get my dad killed, what do you think my father would have done stark" Francis spat. Shaylee jumped up and walked over to him; she placed a hand on his shoulder and whispered his name. Francis looked at her for a millisecond before turning back to Tony whom was now smirking.

"Clint? He would have punched me in the face, then he would have helped me" Tony said with a small laugh.

"You really knew my dad." Francis said in awe. Katy giggled at Francis' sudden realisation. Noah led Tony and the others through a series of small tunnels until they came to an old abandoned airship.

"This should work but once you power it up Ultron will know he's" Francis said placing a hand on the ship.

"He's wired in I know, but I also know how to wire him out" Tony said with a smirk, interrupting Francis before he could finish.

-
"Shay" Francis called pulling the seventeen year old away from the others. They had just finished loading the ship with supply's and were planning on leaving in the next half an hour.

"There is a strong chance that we are not coming back from this" Francis breathed, his face only centimetres away from hers. His hand was firmly on her cheek forcing her light blue eyes to look into his onyx ones.

"It comes with the job" Shaylee laughed softly.

"This is in no way funny Shay" Francis growled, Shaylee flinched causing his face to soften slightly.

"Sorry" He mumbled. She gave it a small smile and a shrug.

"My point is, I don't want to die before I do this" Francis said his face set with determination.

"Do wha-" Shaylee was cut off abruptly when Francis pulled her face closer to his, into a kiss. Shaylee's eyes widened before shutting quickly , he hands tangled in his hair while he used his free hand to pull her closer so they were flush against each other. They only broke apart when the presence of another person became apparent. James stood at the end of the hallway with a small smirk on his face, Shaylee quickly excused herself and running out of the room, leaving the two boys alone.

"At least I don't have to worry about you taking Torunn from me" James laughed.

"From you? I didn't know she was yours" Francis smirked, raising an eyebrow.

"U-uh SHE'S NOT! B-bu-" James stutterd. His face now bright red.

"Don't worry about it. I actually care about Shaylee, I don't think I would want to hurt her by 'taking Torunn' from you" Francis said before exiting the area leaving James to stand there by himself and think about what just transpired.

Don't forget to leave a Review.
