Chapter 12: Welcome to Wakanda

The plane ride was filled with silence, mostly because no one wanted to discuss Tony, Bruce and I's little science experiment. I sat next to Steve who fiddled with his shield, Nat sat across from me and just stared. Bruce was listening to music, Thor was visibly trying not to strangle Tony who was sitting next to him and I. Clint was driving the jet, cool as a cucumber. Stuff like this doesn't seem to bother him. I sighed and rested my head against my chair. Steve was still fiddling, Nat still staring, Bruce still listening, Thor still seething and Clint still flying.

It all just irked me.

I clear my throat with a loud cough, "May I address the metal elephant in the room?" I say with a hint of tone.

"Be my guest" Tony responds glancing at Thor.

"Great because I think an address is much needed in this situation. I get most of you are mad, correction pissed about what Tony, Bruce and I did. But it shouldn't mess up our team dynamic. We still need to stick together and be able to work together without secretly hating each other. If we can't fight Ultron together, we won't be able to fight him at all." I say from my seat. I really hope that my little pep talk changed some minds, or at least made some minds more tolerable to others.

Nat stops staring, Steve stops fiddling, Bruce stops listening and Thor is slightly less seething.

"Steve is really beginning to rub off on you Dal. For the better too" Natasha chuckled.

I could see the others smile around me and I feel my heart swell with joy, knowing that I did my part.

There is then a call from the cockpit, "Get your game faces on people, we are coming in to land" Clint says.

Once we touch down, we're all heading out towards the boat where Tony's black market 'acquaintance' is stationed. Well all of us, except Bruce.

We move in a jog towards the closest boat and quickly climb aboard and start making our way to the main area of the vessel. We all split up in twos, covering more ground and not drawing so much of a crowd. That's when the lights go out and we hear shouting and crashing in the distance. Thor and I quickly jog towards the sounds, soon Tony and Steve come into view. I then spot Nat and Clint above us on opposite sides. That's when I hear the undeniable voice of Ultron.

"Stark is...he's a sickness!" He shouts.

"Aw Junior. You're gonna break your old man's heart." Tony responds.

Ultron spins around at the sound of Tony's voice, "If I have to" he sneers.

"Nobody has to break anything" Thor adds.

Ultron laughs, "Clearly you've never made an omelet"

I roll my eyes, of course he inherited Tony's sarcasm.

"He beat me by one second" Tony says, trying to defend his wit.

Then the white haired man comes into view as he speaks, "Yes. He's Funny. Mr Stark is this what? Comfortable? Like old times?" He says glancing at the missiles and rocket launchers below us.

Tony's head says in response and guilt fills his voice, "This was never my life"

Steve than steps forward, "You two can still walk away from this" he says, speaking to the Maximoff's.

"Oh we will" Wanda Maximoff responds sarcastically.

"I know you've suffered" Steve adds, trying to comfort them.

Ultron makes a scoffing sound, "Captain America. God's righteous man. Pretending you could live without a war. I can't physically throw up in my mouth, but..."

I cut him off, protecting Steve from further insult, "You could learn something from him. God knows you need some positive virtues" I spit.

Ultron's red eyes widen at my response and his voice becomes softer, "I thought you would have been proud of what I'm doing here, I'm fulfilling your dream. Keeping the peace" he says, taking a step closer towards me.

Thor pipes up, "If you believe in peace, let us keep it"

Almost ignoring Thor, Ultron continues talking to me, "I thought that you'd be proud of me. I was your one dream Dahlia."

I shake my head and frown, he's insane and delusional. I can't help him even if I wanted to, "No Ultron, you're a nightmare, a nightmare that needs to end. We're here to do that before you spread your nightmare to the world" I say, anger and hate filling my voice.

Ultron looks shocked by my response, but before he can answer, Tony speaks, "What's the vibranium for?"

Ultron tilts his head in Tony's direction, "I'm glad you asked, because I wanted to take this time to explain my evil plan to you."

In the next moment, the battle had begun. Ultron pulled Tony towards him with some kind of ray coming from his hands then blasted Tony. The two then started their fight as they flew around. When I turned away from their fight, I was met with a shield coming at my face. I ducked in enough time and heard a crashing sound and saw a mini Ultron bot destroyed by the shield. Steve ran to me and grabbed his shield.

"You alright?" He asked.

"Yup, good, just not paying attention. Going to be a superhero now. Bye!" I say, rushing through my words and running towards another robot.

I create a rope around its body to hold it still, then as I run past I create an axe and knock its head clean off.

I glance briefly around me at the others fighting and spot Steve going after Wanda, only to be flung back by her powers. This girl's got some serious skills. I then spot Thor being knocked down by an invisible force, known as Pietro, the white haired wonder.

There's another robot that comes at me. He's flying at warp speed, I create a net to catch him, then I blast him to pieces when he hits the ground. I glance around once again, I'm not sure why, maybe I just want to see if my friends are in need of help, or if Speedy Gonzalez is running around. Then I spot him, or at least a blur of him. Then I hear a crashing and spot him a level below, I guess he's not worthy.

As quickly as I can, I hop on my board and zoom towards him. I step off just as he lifts his head.

"Hey there English" he jokes.

"Sonic" I respond.

I take two step towards him and punch him square in the jaw.

"Lights out Flash" I say and chuckle as I walk off.
