Ever After
Age Of Ultron
"Look out!" Vision warned.
"Damn," Hazuki yelled as a fighter strafed the field, then began to slap bullets out of the air with her sword.
"Come on," Quicksilver bodily picked her up, the two stopping an attempt to gun down Hawkeye and a group of refugees.
"Okay, that was cool," Hawkeye acknowledged.
"Spoiling my fun?" Ultron's voice boomed.
(Unknowingly, Hazuki had just changed history and prevented Quicksilver's death. No one there was aware of it though.)
"YOU NEARLY SHOT HAZUKI," Lilith growled, and suddenly Ultron felt a stab of fear.
"Now you are in trouble," Thor grinned, well aware of Lilith's temper.
"Er..," Captain America blinked.
"That looks BAD," Black Widow noted.
"Okay, the energy readings I just got are frightening," Iron Man noted as Lilith CASUALLY blasted the Ultron controlled fighter jet out of the sky.
Ultron jerked as his drone was annihilated. He tilted his head to the side, "THAT was interesting."
Scarlet Witch looked visibly spooked by what Lilith had done.
"What?" Quicksilver asked her.
"That felt COMPLETELY different than what I do," she admitted.
Captain America shook himself, deciding it was a problem for later. "We need to get to Ultron's main body and stop him!"
"Let's go," Hazuki agreed as Iron Man blasted more drones.
Thor, Cap, Hazuki, Hulk and Iron Man led the charge, while Quill, Black Widow, Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch followed. And Lilith tagged along. The battle was crazed and violent, but the group did their best to stop Ultron drones from killing more innocents.
"Ah, fathers, you've come," Ultron noted. Coldly he added, "Vision, my brother."
"Stand down!" Cap ordered.
"Do you REALLY think I will...?" Ultron paused. "You three, you aren't from around here," he mused, looking at Quill, Lilith and Hazuki.
"No, but we stand with the Avengers and humanity," Hazuki replied, sword glowing green.
"Maybe when I've killed you all I'll study your remains," Ultron noted mildly.
"NOW, Quill!" Hazuki barked.
Quill gestured with her staff, and Ultron glowed suddently.
"What?" Ultron started, then frowned. "No!"
"What?" Caprain America asked.
"I saw he was body jumping," Hazuki explained, "so I asked Quill if she could lock him into one body."
"This won't stop me," Ultron declared.
"Ultron," Thor raised his hammer, "now there shall be a reckoning!"
Then everyone pretty much dogpiled on him.
"No Hatsumi?" Quill asked later.
"She left just before Ultron levetated the island," Scarlet Witch confirmed, "I saw her vanish in a flash of green."
Lilith waved a hand over her, "Hmm. You retained some of her energy, it's why we thought she was here."
"Uhm,. Sorry?" Scarlet Witch offered.
"Not your fault," Hazuki patted her arm.
"Thank you for your help," Cap said, shaking their hands. "Do you need to go?"
"I would LOVE to study your Device, Miss Quill," Iron Man noted, while also visibly checking her out.
"We need to move on," Hazuki said as four of them vanished.
"Wait, where did Black Widow do?" Hawkeye blinked.
Thor laughed, "Lilith will return her."
"This has happened before?" Cap asked.
"My comrade Sif had a adventure with her," Thor confirmed.
Arisugawa's Locket
"Can we PLEASE not fight robots again?" Hazuki complained as the group collapsed at a table.
"Hard day?" Alpha asked, the green haired android smiling gently.
"Very," Quill agreed.
"What can I get you?" Alpha asked.
"Vodka," Black Widow requested tiredly.
"I was surprised you appeared here with us," Lilith noted.
"I'm bisexual,." Black Widow admitted.
Up on the kareoke stage, Magia Baiser was singing with her girlfriend...
"I have learned the lesson
Of all that's foul and fair
Our love was forged in fire
Water, earth, and air
The spell is cast, how long it lasts
I cannot divine
The road is there
And so I dare
To risk this heart of mine"
"Witches Road," Lilith scowled, "damn it."
"Huh?" Hazuki looked curious.
"It's actually part of a spell created by Agatha Harkness, that got out of control," Lilith explpained. "Awful woman, and a awful witch too. If you meet her, don't trust her as far as you can throw her."
"I sense a grudge," Quill teased.
"I DID NOT LOSE A POKER GAME TO HER," Lilith growled.
"Yup, grudge," Black Widow agreed.
Hazuki shook her head. "And why do I have to be the only one drinking soda?" she complained mildly.
"You ARE underage," Lilith teased.
"If you count in dimension travel, she should be a few years older," Quill noted.
"Too bad travelling between universes seems to halt aging," Hazuki pouted.
Alpha returned, "Did you want to order food?"
"Well..."
"NATASHA?!" a voice yelped.
Black Widow looked up, "Yelena?"
The attractive blonde swept up Black Widow in a hug, "What are you DOPING here?! I thought you died?"
Natasha paused, "I suspect I'm from your past."
Yelena paled, "Oh dear..."
"Okay, what's going on here?" the brown haired, slightly younger woman asked, dressed n a purple outfit kind of like Hawkeye's.
"Kate Bishop, meet Natasha Romanov," Yelena introduced them. She added, "Kate's my girlfriend."
"Congratulations," Natasha smiled at Kate, "Yelena is a handful."
"Hey!" Yelena protested.
"I'm a BIG fan," Kate added to Natasha.
Hazuki chuckled as she finished her soda.
A different song came on and Lilith smiled at Hazuki, "Ooh, I like this song. Come dance with me?"
"Er..," Hazuki hesitated.
"Please?" Lilith battered her eyes.
Hazuki sighed but got up, "Okay, but just one dance."
"They're cute together," Natasha noted.
"If only Hazuki wasn't carrying a torch for Eve," Quill noted, "and if Lilith wasn't pushing so hard."
"There's a old Russian saying," Yelena offered, "A hunter catches more by not chasing so hard."
"You made that up," Kate teased.
To be continued...
Notes: the Age of Ultron bit is seperate from the main timeline. Yelena is from the Black Widow movie and will soon be in Thunderbolts, and Kate Bishop is from the Hawkeye TV series.
