Why hello there it's been a while. Sorry about that. I don't really have an excuse other than University and even then that's not an excuse and honestly I think it's an excuse I've made once already but anyways. I hope you guys enjoy this chapter. Also I've completed the first chapter of the Francis and Shaylee drabble series which which is on my profile and its called When We Fall and the first chapter is called Nightmares.

Please go and have a look at that (:

As always I don't own the characters from The Next Avengers I only own Shaylee, Noah and Katy.

I really really hope you guys enjoy this chapter.

James Barton stood on top of the small hill looking out at his friends, Torunn was sitting by herself with her legs dangling off the edge, her head was turned away from everyone. Francis was leaning on a rather large rock, his arm was around Shaylee's shoulder and his other hand was playing with one of his arrows, Pym was sitting on top of said rock and Katie was sitting cross legged on the floor in front of Shaylee leaning on her legs.

Bright blue sparks were emitting form the cave entrance and Katy couldn't take her eyes off of it, it was Azari causing the sparks and she knew that. He completely and utterly intrigued her, she'd known him a day or so but she felt so drawn to him.

So where do you think we'll go now?" Azari questioned as he made his way out of the cave, everyone aside from Torunn were now facing him.

"Tony wants us to hide but-"Azari was swiftly cut off by Tournn "-He's right, we have to run, we have to hide, we can't beat Ultron" She said solemnly lowing her head even more that it already was. James gave a small sad smile to Tournn that she could not see before walking to the overhang the was atop of the cave entrance.

"We can and we have to, we can't hide anymore Tournn. If we don't stand up to Ultron who will? If we don't protect people like the scavengers who will? We have to make a stand" James said bringing his arm up to his chest "The longer we wait the more powerful Ultron will become, he'll never stop hunting us, he'll never stop coming after Tony we have to stop him" The red head continued confidently before sliding down the small hill and stopping in front of the cave entrance.

"We owe it to our parents, we're all that's left of their legacy, the Hulk is the strongest one it is right? If we can't take the Hulk to Ultron then we need to bring Ultron to the Hulk" James said with a large smirk.

"okay, Hawkeye said that Ultron is wired into everyone of those machines, if we power the ship so that Ultron can sense it, he'll come running" James continued not taking his eyes off of Francis.

"I think that's the most words you've ever said in a row" Pym said with concern, his head was slightly tilted and he was staring at the boy he considered a brother, after a could of seconds his face broke into a smile.

"Okay, remember when I called Bruce nuts? Well you've got him beat" Francis quipped, his face was unreadable.

"Francis" Shaylee hissed hitting the slightly older boys side with her elbow.

"I know we can do this, we can do it together" James said, his smirk widening, that is until Torunn flew up to him.

"No, I can't" the blonde Asgardian shouted before zooming off into the cave.

"She'll be okay she just needs time" James said softly, his face fell slightly before he turned to the teens next to him.

"You in?" he asked looking at the five of them, Pym and Katy nodded while the others just looked at him. Shaylee untangled herself from Francis and walked over to James.

"Let me go get Noah before we start" the young brunette said placing a hand on his shoulder. James nodded at her, she smiled at him and began to make her way inside.

"we'll meet you up in the ship" James called after her before beginning to climb up to the ship. Francis stared at the retreating girl trying to make a decision. He let out a breath and ran after Shaylee.

"Shay" Francis shouted, causing the younger girl to stop and face him, she was smiling but her eyes didn't show it. The brunette walked up to Francis, so close that they could feel the heat radiating off of each other.

"Let me go talk to him by myself, he won't want to see you" She said softly, Francis nodded looking a little hurt but he understood. Noah was mad at the both of them or at least upset so she needed to speak to him about everything.

"I'll see you up there" Francis said with a small smirk, he leaned forward and placed his lips onto her forehead before walking out of the cave. Shaylee turned around and walked deeper into the cave. It didn't take long for Shaylee to find Noah, he was sitting in a corner of the cave that was away from everyone else, her was curled into said corner with his knees against his chest.

"Noah" Shaylee called, he didn't respond, he didn't even look at her. To say that Shaylee was hurt by his lack of a response was an understatement but she didn't give up; she walked up to him and sat down next to him so close that their knees were touching.

"Noah we… or well James I guess has come up with a plan. It's pretty stupid and it'll probably get us killed. But we could stop Ultron, we could finally get rid of him, we have to do this, we have to do this for our parents. But I can't do this without you Noah, you're my brother and I need you." Shaylee said softly her voice breaking at the end. By this point Noah was looking at her, he was upset there was no doubt about that but he knew he couldn't force her to be with him so instead he needed to be her friend and she was right, they needed to do this, he needed to do this.

"Alright" He said standing up and turning to Shaylee "What are we doing?" he asked with a wide grin on his face. Shaylee smirked at him and jumped up from her sitting position, she grabbed the elastic boys hand and dragged him out of the cave.

The two teens quickly made their way onto the ship and stood with the rest of the group. Most of them were sceptical of what they were about to do but Shaylee had never seen James look so sure of something; it scared her just a little bit.

"I hope you're right about this" Azari said with a level of uncertainty that did not go unnoticed by everyone else. James nodded and Azari sighed before picking up two large cables. The sixteen year olds body began to glow blue with electricity that he used to ignite the cables and start the ship.

As the ships engine whirred to life Shaylee's stomach sank, she knew they had made a mistake.

I hope you guys enjoy the chapter.
