Part III

Chapter 5:

The true resolve

"I'll go with Cap to Seoul and find the Maximoff twins." Evyn stated pulling her trench coat on.

"Why?" Tony frowned looking at Evyn.

"Think about it." Evyn stated looking at the billionaire. "They only wanted revenge against you right?" When Tony nodded she continued. "I'm betting that Ultron never told them about his real plan. And if the girl can read minds…"

"They'll be divided." Steve realized looking at Evyn. "We can use them against them."

"And we'll know where he plans on pulling his plan." Evyn smirked walking off.

Tony blinked and look at Steve. "I swear, her smirk looks like that Maximoff girl's. I'm not the only one who thinks that."

Steve raised his eyebrow. "Apparently, we all have secrets."

"Never been to Seoul. Where you think I'll find them if they ran off." Evyn hummed.

"Try the markets. They're a good place to hide in." Natasha said.

"We'll let you know if they're in the lab." Steve stated.

Evyn nodded and jumped out.

The half-breed walked through the market listening to the whole thing through her coms.

"Did you guys copy that?"

"Sure did." Evyn muttered looking around.

"They're not here, according to Dr. Cho they ran off."

"My show then." Evyn smiled. She made her way through the crowd looking around for twins that stood out. "Status?"

"Cap's playing around with Ultron." Clint stated.

"Lucky bastard." Evyn huffed.

She continued to walk, but stopped when she noticed the twins. She smirked. "Found them."

"Great….help would be great." Clint huffed.

Evyn walked up to them and stopped just as Pietro turned to her. She smirked watching him jump back in shock. "Hey there kids."

"What do you want?" Pietro hissed griping Wanda's hand tightly.

"A truce." Evyn stated, looking at them. "I'm sure you found out about Ultron's true resolve?"

"What of it?" Wanda asked.

"Then you know he lied to you." Evyn said. "We want to protect everyone here on earth. Yes, sometimes…there are casualties, but we try not to."

"Why should we trust you?" Pietro questioned.

Evyn sighed and reached down to her pockets and pulled out a photo. "Take it from someone who lost their chance at happiness but is willing to try again." She then turned the photo around looking at the twins' facial reaction.

Wanda widen her eyes and look up at Pietro who mirrored her reaction. Slowly he reached down and took out his own photo and looked at it.

It's an exact match.

Wanda look at her mother in the picture then up at Evyn seeing the similarities. "You…."

"I'm sorry." Evyn sighed putting the photo away. "This…this is my fault."

The twins look at each other then at her. "Prove it." Pietro stated.

Evyn sighed and rolled her shoulders and started with the eldest. "Your name is Pietro Nikolas Maximoff born December 6 weighing 6.7 lbs and 19 inches." She looked over at Wanda. "Your name is Wanda Eva Maximoff born Decemer 6 weighing 6.6 lbs and 18 inches." She stated looking at the two a small smile forming on her lips. "Pietro's middle name is of his grandfather Nikolas Maximoff and Wanda's middle name is of her grandmother Eva Sparda. My mother." She look at Wanda who has tears rolling down her face. "But you saw that, right?"

Wanda bit her lip blinking back the tears and wrapped her arms around her mother tightly. "Mami…." She whimpered gripping tightly on Evyn.

Pietro scratched his nose and wrapped his arms around Evyn burring his head into her neck. "I…I can't believe it…"

"Yeah, well. I love to keep on cuddling you but, we have to stop Ultron come on." Evyn sighed wiping their tears away. "Barton, status?"

"Cap and Ultron are on a train. You found them?"

"Yup." Evyn stated looking at her kids. "Come on, and make your mother proud."

The twins look at each other and nodded.

Evyn took her guns out and waited for Pietro to run and knock Ultron down. She watched as Ultron slowly got up but got blocked by two metal blockades pulled down by Wanda. When Ultron turned around, Evyn gave a smile.

"Please, don't do this." Ultron pleaded with Wanda.

"What choice do we have?" Wanda asked.

"Pietro move!" Evyn shouted shooting at Ultron.

Pietro widen his eyes and quickly moved dodging a blast from Ultron. Evyn swore when Ultron flew off. She ran towards the driver of the train with Steve right behind her.

"This isn't good." Evyn hissed looking up. "Fuck." She turned her head over to the twins and walked over to them.

"Cap, Sparda, you have eyes on Nat?" Clint asked.

"If you have the package, get it to Stark! Go!" Steve shouted.

"Do you have eyes on Nat?"

"Go!"

Evyn cursed seeing civilians in front of the train. "Damn it."

Steve leaned out and turned around to look at the twins. "Civilians in out path."

Pietro nodded and took off running.

"Can you stop this thing?" Steve asked Wanda.

"I-I…" Wanda stuttered looking at Steve then at Evyn.

The half-devil nodded her head placing a hand on her shoulder, just as the train jerked going through a building. Wanda nodded her head slowly and took a deep breath in. She aimed her powers down towards the wheels on the train, trying to stop them. Evyn nodded her head and look out the window watching Pietro moving civilians out of the way, just as the train came to a slow stop. Wanda let out a sigh and ran out to catch up with her brother.

"They're good." Evyn stated walking up to Steve.

"Yeah…" Steve asked looking at Evyn in confusion.

Evyn hummed in thought. "But they're still little shits." She smirked looking at Steve. "Gonna scold me?"

Steve let out a groan and turned around. "Will you just let it go."

"Nope." Evyn smiled patting his back and walking out of the train, towards her kids.

"I'm fine." Pietro breathed out leaning against a wall. "I just need to take a minute."

Evyn opened her mouth to congratulate Pietro when Steve came up behind her.

"I'm very tempted not to give you one." Steve walking over to them.

"The Cradle. Did you get it?" Wanda asked Steve.

"Stark will take care of it." Steve said.

"No he won't." Wanda muttered.

"You don't know what you're talking about. Stark's not crazy." Steve stated.

"He's….something." Evyn stated with a shrug. "He's better than before."

"He will do anything to make things right." Wanda said looking at Steve then at her mother, and back to Steve.

"She's got a point." Evyn mused looking up at Steve.

Steve licked his lips and turned his head. "Stark, come in." A pause. "Stark." Another pause. "Anyone on coms."

Evyn look at her two kids, then back at Steve.

Wanda licked her lips and spoke up. "Ultron can't tell the difference between saving the world and destroying it. Where do you think he gets that?"

"How are we gonna get back then?" Evyn asked crossing her arms.

Evyn leaned back against the wall watching the wo scientist working on the Cradle, just as Steve walked in with her two kids behind him.

"I'm gonna say this once." Steve started.

"How about 'non-ce'?" Tony asked.

Evyn bit her lip to keep her laughter to herself. She raised an eyebrow at her son who gave her a confused look.

"Shut it down!" Steve growled.

"Nope! Not gonna happen." Tony argued.

"You don't know what you're doing." Steve argued back.

"And you do?" Bruce countered. "She's not in your head."

"I know you're angry." Wanda said walking up slowly.

"Oh, we're way past that." Bruce stated. "I could choke the life out of you and never change a shade."

Evyn looked at them and bit her lip, reaching down for her gun slowly.

"Banner, after everything that's happened." Steve started.

"It's nothing compared to what's coming!" Tony interrupted.

"You don't know what's in there!" Wanda shouted.

"This isn't a game!" Steve added.

Pietro rolled his eyes and looked at his mother, he gestured to the room with raised eyebrows. Evyn looked down at her guns then at her son. She shrugged and nodded her head a smirk playing on her lips. Pietro just smiled and ran unhooking all the wires to the Cradle.

"No, no. Go on. You were saying?" Pietro asked.

A loud gunshot rang out and the glass under Pietro shattered dropping the boy.

"Pietro!" Wanda shouted.

"I'm rerouting the upload." Tony said turning to the computer behind him.

Steve narrowed his eyes and threw his shield against the power source near the Cradle. Tony called out to his armor and blasted Steve away. Wanda got ready to use her powers when Bruce went up and wrapped his arm across her neck and holding her arms down.

"Go ahead, piss me off." Bruce hissed.

Evyn took her sword out and held it against the back of Bruce's neck feeling him tense up. She took out her gun with her other hand held it up at Clint. "Don't you dare." She hissed.

"Evyn…" Bruce hissed.

"Mami…move." Wanda gasped out.

Evyn nodded and drew her blade back, making a small nick in Bruce's skin, before putting it back and took her second gun aiming it at Clint. "Hey there."

"Evyn…did she just…" Clint trailed off.

"She did." Evyn shrugged. She put her guns down just as Thor made his appearance. She watch him jump on the Cradle and raise his hammer up. "Okay then."

"You're not gonna stop him?" Wanda asked looking at her mother.

"I trust him more than I trust these people." Evyn huffed.

Suddenly the Cradle burst open knocking the god of thunder down, out came a humanoid of red skin and green accents on his body. With a yellow stone on his forehead, which caught Evyn's attention. The humanoid stared at Thor and tackled him, Thor easily caught him and flipped him over through the glass. Evyn walked up to Thor looking at the humanoid who is now floating looking out at New York. It's body slowly was clothed in green as it floated down to the group.

"I am sorry. That was….odd." It said. It turned to Thor and added in. "Thank you."

"Thor." Steve called out looking at the god of thunder. "You helped create this?"

"I've had a vision." Thor supplied. "A whirlpool that sucks in all hope of life, and at its center is that." He pointed at the golden stone on the humanoid's head.

"What, the gem?" Bruce asked.

"The mind stone." Evyn gasped in realization, walking up to the humanoid. She grabbed its head and pulled it down to get a better look. She then turned to Thor. "They really exist?"

Thor nodded his head. "Yes."

"The…mind stone?" Bruce frowned.

"It's one of the six Infinity Stones. The greatest power in the universe, unparalleled in its destructive capabilities." Thor supplied.

Evyn turned to look at the group. "They can affect anything, a god, one of the big guns down in hell, and a being of no end."

"They why would you bring." Steve started.

"Because Stark is right." Thor interrupted.

"Oh…it's definitely the end times." Bruce muttered.

"Believe me. You'll know first." Evyn added in with a hint of venom in her voice.

"The Avengers cannot defeat Ultron." Thor stated.

"Not alone." The humanoid stated gently pushing Evyn to the side and taking a step forward.

"Why does your Vision sound like Jarvis?" Steve asked.

"W-We reconfigured Jarvis' matrix to create something new." Tony said looking at the humanoid.

"I think I've had my fill of new." Steve grumbled.

"You think I'm a child of Ultron." It said.

"You're not?" Steve asked.

"I'm not Ultron." It stated. "I am not Jarvis. I am…I am…"

"I looked into your head." Wanda spoke up looking at it. "And saw annihilation."

"Look again."

"Her seal of approval means jack to me." Clint grumbled.

Evyn went for her sword when Thor placed a hand on her shoulder. Thor looks up at everyone and spoke. "Their powers, the horrors in our heads, Ultron himself, they all came from the Mind Stone. And they're noting compared to what it can unleash. But with it on our side…"

"Is it?" Steve asked looking at Thor then at the humanoid. "Are you? On our side?"

"I don't think it's that simple." It said.

"Well it better get that simple real soon." Clint muttered.

"I am on the side of life." It stated looking over everyone. "Ultron isn't. He will end it all."

"What's he waiting for?" Tony asked.

"You." It stated.

"Where?" Bruce asked.

"Sokovia." Clint stated. "He's got Nat there, too."

"If we're wrong about you…if you're the monster that Ultron made you to be. What will you do?" Bruce asked.

"I don't want to kill Ultron." It said. "He's unique and he's in pain. But that pain will roll over the Earth. So. He must be destroyed. Every form he's built, every trace of his presence on the net. We have to act now. And not one of us can do it without the others." He looks down at his hands in thought before continuing. "Maybe I am a monster. I don't think I'd know if I were one. I'm not what you are, and not what you intended. So, there may be no way to make you trust me. But we need to go." With that he picked up Mjolnir with ease holding it out to Thor.

Evyn widen her eyes at that and bit her lip hard trying not to laugh. She turned around to look at everyone. "Well…looks like he's worthier than you all. You all must be little shits." With that she walked off nudging her kids to walk.

"Right…" Thor hummed and followed after them patting Tony's shoulder. "Well done."

"Do you have something for magical stuff?" Pietro sked his mother, while he got changed.

"Yeah, I do." Evyn nodded opening up a locker. "In fact an old friend, had all these demonic books with him. I would read then none stop."

"Was that before or after father?" Wanda asked.

"Both." Evyn said looking through the trench coats. "They guy I traveled with had connections. When I wasn't doing his trash, I would read or hang out with your father." She pulled out a scarlet colored trench coat and tossed it to her daughter. "He actually hated when I would read on our dates."

Pietro chuckled at that. "What…happens after this?"

Evyn hummed running her fingers through her silver locks. "That's up to you. The choices are, either stay with the Avengers, learn the family business, or well, find what makes you happy."

"What about you?" Wanda asked putting the trench coat on. "What will you do?"

"I usually stay low." Evyn said. "Do work, but now that infinity stones are in play, I'll have to make up for lost times. Maybe check out the good old demon library."

"There's a demon library?" Clint asked from the door way looking at Evyn.

Evyn turned to look at him with a raised eyebrow. "Yeah. Believe it or not, but there are."

Clint hums and looks at the kids. "Just because they came from you, doesn't mean I'll trust them. Much."

"As long as you don't go out and try to kill them. I'm fine." Evyn smiled, but frowned and look at her kids. "Shit…can…either of you…heal?"

The twins look at each other then at her, confused.

Ta-da!

This happened.

Let me know what you think!

See you next time!
