Next stop: Ultra-City

Pym: We are closing in on Ultra City you guys.

Zachary: The answers we're looking for are close.

The team was getting closer and closer to Ultra City, but they all needed to think of a plan on how to get in.

Zachary: Any Ideas on how to get into this Ultra city?

Torunn and James raised their hands as Zachary looked at them with a deadpan look.

Zachary: That does not involve violence

The two slowly put their hands down as Zachary looks at Azari, Thomas, and Pym

Azari: Maybe they'll let us, you know pass.

Thomas: I highly doubt that they would.

Azari: Relax, Tommy. They won't even attack us.

The airship headed towards a glittering city shining in the distance.

But inside the ship, none noticed the large rock within the ocean opens up to reveal cameras.

Suddenly, the walls of the city opened a few panels to allow large cannon-like guns to extend out. When the airship was in range, the weapons began firing, hitting the ship and blasting it to smithereens, the pieces falling into the ocean.

Thankfully though the kids and the head of Vision were unharmed. Torunn had James and Azari holding her hand while Pym was holding the head of vision. Thomas was seen on Zachary's back, who was in his Mark 50 suit.

Zachary looks around as his P.O.V shows the area while scanning

Thomas: [to Azari] You were saying?

Azari: "Okay, fine," the African male conceded, "Maybe they would attack us."

The quartet walked along the more narrow and shadowed passages to avoid being seen. When they came to an end, they looked out to see an entire city made completely up of technology and metal.

Wasp-like androids zoomed around as though on patrol while panels and pieces of the city shifted now and then.

The six could only stare at the scene with shock.

Pym: "Big."

Pym whispered voicing their thoughts.

Torunn: Hereth be the plan-

Pym: I don't think Hereth is right.

Torunn: Shut up Pym, here's the plan. We fight our way through this city, get to Ultron, smite him, and free Tony.

James: That plan is insane on several levels. We can't beat Ultron.

Torunn: I am Immortal and Invulnerable. Ultron holds no fear for me. Besides my father watches over me.

James: You don't know you're Invulnerable.

Before Torunn could leap into battle Thomas walked in front of her to stop her.

Thomas: Torunn, wait! This is a terrible idea. We need to continue staying in the shadows-

Torunn interruptedly pushed past Thomas and grabbed her sword lifting it into the air

Torunn: For Asgard!

She jumps out of hiding and slashes at the drones from across the side.

James: Tell me she didn't just do that?

Zachary: She did.

Thomas: Come on, let's move!

They nod as they run while Torunn slashes a few drones.

Thomas: Torunn!

Torunn sees them as she runs to them. A drone with four robotic arms attacked her, she jumped back grunting and then she sliced the arm clean off and grabbed the hand.

Torunn: Have at Thee

Torunn threw the arm at the drone destroying it. More drones surrounded Torunn.

Thomas: We need to help her!

Zachary: She's an Asgardian, she'll make it!

Thomas: Whoa!

Thomas dodges an incoming fire from the drone, as he quickly shoots webs at it and swings it to the wall.

Zachary holds his hands out as the Nanites form into crescent-shaped gauntlets as they catch the missiles in the gravitational beam.

Zachary: Return to sender!

He rears his arms back, throws the missiles at the drones, and explodes.

Thomas looked at the drones lifting his hands in the air and his stingers came out, Then the blades were covered in orange-yellowish bioelectricity.

Thomas: Gotcha!

Thomas slices one of the drones and shoots webs at the drone as he pulls it down.

Thomas activated his gadgets in his web shooters[First, Impact Webs, Next, Ricochet Web, then, Concussive Blast].

He shoots a stream of the web as it collides with a few drones as they crash. A few drones appear as he shoots webs as they bounce off and hit the drones down.

The camera goes back to Torunn who was being shot at by multiple drones. She looked at her arm with disbelief.

Torunn: [confused] Ow.

Then one of the bigger bots shot at her making her scream.

Pym: No!

Pym shot a blast at the drone breaking its blaster.

Pym (High-pitched voice): And there's more where that came from (Dodges laser) Ha missed.

Pym was able to get the drone to follow him and lead him to Azari who used his lighting to make a beam that destroyed the drone.

Zachary activated the flight mode as he flew to avoid the blades from cutting, his shoulder pads and forearm gauntlets fired multiple missiles at the drones as they exploded.

Torunn noticed a shadow over her. She looked and saw Iron Giant come down and step on her. She survived but she was laid out on the ground. Iron Thor came down and picked her up and threw her to the ground making her lose her grip on her sword.

Thomas sliced a drone in half as parts of the drone were scattered around him. Thomas saw Torunn in trouble.

Thomas: [worried] Torunn! Hang on!

Thomas quickly shoots webs and goes to her. but in front of him was the Iron Spider-Man who stopped him. Iron Spider-Man stretched its four arms and blades were produced from them.

Thomas: Uh-oh.

Iron Spider-Man attacked Thomas who had to resort to defense and block with his stingers.

Iron Spider uses its robot limbs to try to stab Thomas as he dodges.

Azari: We have to help them! We have to-

Azari was interrupted as the four boys were attacked by the remaining Iron Avengers. Forcing them to split apart. Azari and Zachary hit a wall and out of that wall, an arm came out and pulled them away from the fight.

James: Azari?! Zach?!

Then Pym and James both got pulled back from the arm leaving Thomas and Torunn alone.

Thomas and Torunn are alone, trying to survive the Iron Avengers.

Thomas was seen getting kicked in the stomach. He grunted as he landed on the ground. He looked up and Iron Spider-Man was right in front of him and with his 3rd arm managed to stab Thomas in the middle of his stomach.

Thomas let out a painful grunt as he charged a venom punch and punched Iron Spider-Man twelve feet away.

The Iron Spider-Man gets punched hard before stopping in mid-air.

Thomas quickly web swings to Torunn. He managed to grab Torunn and pull her close to him as he used one hand to hold her and the other to web swing.

Torunn: T- Thomas?

Thomas: Time to go! Hold on to me!

Torunn holds onto Thomas as he swings across the area.

She looked back noticing her sword was left behind.

Torunn: Thomas wait, my sword!

Thomas: We have no time for it. We must regroup with the ot-

Before Thomas could finish his sentence from behind Iron Thor lifted his hammer ready to strike. Thomas noticed him and turned around and shot a web to blind the robot though Thor was not alone because right when Thomas was about to continue swinging.

The Iron Spider-Man came from above retracted his blades and performed a haymaker slamming both Thomas and Torunn back to the ground.

He and Torunn both got back up until Thomas felt a sharp pain, forcing him on his knees. This worried Torunn.

Torunn: Spider!

Torunn goes to Thomas and notices his wound. The two teens noticed the drones and Iron Avengers closing in on them, until... A fast blur hits each of them down.

???: [to the drones] You didn't see that coming?

The blur appears to be a boy who's around Thomas and Torunn's age. The boy was around their age, as he had silver hair and blue eyes, and was currently wearing a black shirt with a silver lightning-looking shape, a silver coat with blue lines, fingerless gloves, and shoes that had silver streaks from the front tip that reached the back. Has goggles on.

Thomas: What the?

Torunn: Who are you?

???: Just your savior in the shoes of Hermes and Mercury.

??? Marvel...Pistol!

A long arm with a fist came out of nowhere as it hit one of the ambushing drones.

???: Awesome!

The second child is a girl, who's a Pakistani-American Muslim. Has shoulder-length hair, currently wearing a black shirt with grey rolled-up sleeves, has a thunderbolt in the center, pants that reach the knees, and is currently wearing golden bracelets.

???: Heads up, rubber necks!

They quickly dodge as a few blasts hit the drones as they explode.

???: Watch out, bucket head!

A glowing blur appears before stopping. It's a boy who's a Hispanic teenage male with a slender build and average height, equal to that of Thomas. He has black hair, tanned skin, and blue eyes. He wears a black uniform with several golden metal plates and a metallic black with T-shaped red horns adorning the front.

More drones coming. The armored boy turns as he fires at the drones as few explode. Then, red auras surrounded the drones and they were torn apart.

The girl was around their age, currently wearing a red coat with short sleeves and a grey shirt underneath, dark grey pants and boots, and wearing long fingerless gloves.

Then multiple arrows with explosives attached to them were shot at both androids, stopping them for now.

A boy leaped down from heaven knows where and ran up to Torunn and Thomas.

The boy looked to be around James and Zachary's age, maybe even older. He had short and messy platinum-blonde hair that looked almost white with his bangs shoved over the left side of his face, though not covering his eyes. He had slightly narrowed, dark eyes and slightly tanned skin.

He wore a pair of black cargo pants tucked into black mid-calf-length combat boots and a white short-sleeved shirt. Over the shirt, he wore a long-sleeved black collared jacket with white accents that stopped an inch or two below his chest. He also wore a pair of black fingerless gloves and a quiver of arrows was strapped on his back.

???: "You ready to get out of here, beautiful?"

The boy asked, holding his hand out to the surprised girl. Torunn looks at it with a slight blush, which causes Thomas to see it with his eyebrow twitching.

Torunn: "I-I, I mean, yes."

Torunn stuttered, not expecting to see another person, let alone someone around her age.

???: "Then you'd better hold on,"

The boy smiled slightly as he shot an arrow off somewhere that had a line attached to it and grabbed Torunn by the waist as he kicked off the ground.

???: [looks at Thomas] He's wounded. Grab him and let's go!

???: Right. [He floats down and picks him up]

Everyone escapes.

It wasn't until after they were sailing through the air that she noticed that in their haste, she'd left her sword embedded in the wall.

Clenching her eyes shut to prevent her tears from falling, she whispered.

Torunn: "I'm so sorry, Father."

While Thomas was being held in the armored boy, the girl in red looked at him.

Girl in red: He's exactly what she said he would be.

[Elsewhere]

A large platform stood in the middle of a place of silver with red accents. A panel in the floor opened up to let Tony Stark inside a large tube-like container, his hands, and feet bound with metal cords.

"It seems your mere existence causes chaos, Avenger," Ultron spoke. Tony looked up to see blocks moving aside to reveal Ultron. "But soon, there will be order."

Tony could only cough from exhaustion.

"These children you have kept hidden," the robot told the trapped man, "they will be found."

Tony: "The kids are gone, Machine," Tony spoke with conviction. "Far away from you."

Ultron came to stand before the elder man and leaned forward, almost touching the glass. "False. Like all humans, they are inherently illogical."

Tony: "What are you talking about?

The brown-eyed man asked hesitantly, fearing the worst.

"Observe," the large robot said, his arms out wide as holographic screens appeared, showing each of the Avengers' children fighting within Ultra City.

Tony: "No..."

The breathed the white-haired man in horror as he watched his son and the children fight or run for their lives.

"You will tell me everything you know about them," Ultron spoke forcefully, "or you will learn the upper human limits of capacity for pain."

Tony only glared at the android as its hand began sparking with violet-colored electricity.

Tony: [mentally] Zachary... Be careful... All of you.

[Ultra City]

Pym: "James! James, wake up!"

Groaning, the reddish-brown-haired boy opened his eyes to see Zachary, Pym, and Azari looking at him worriedly.

James: "W-What happened?" James asked, sitting up. "Where's Torunn and Tommy?"

He took a look around where they all were.

James: "Actually, where are we?"

Where they looked like an old run-down building most likely abandoned years ago. Rubble and broken pieces of wood showered every inch of the ground and above was what looked like a caved-in roof.

Azari: "I don't know, but it's filthy."

Azari said, he and Pym helping James up.

Zachary: F.R.I.D.A.Y, where are we?

F.R.I.D.A.Y: Scanning... location unknown.

Zachary: [sarcastic] Great.

Just then, Pym heard a sound. Turning around, he shouted as he found himself looking at what looked like a robot.

The four children of the Avengers backed up until they stood with their backs to each other, James activating his holo-shield.

The figures came out of the shadows to show people in all sorts of armor.

Azari: "Robot people! This is bad. This is bad..."

Pym: "Mr. Vision, wake up!"

Pym said, shaking Vision's head, hoping to wake the dormant cranium.

Pym: "We need help here! Do you shoot lasers out of your eyes or anything?"

"Hey!" a voice shouted. The three looked up to see a slightly injured Torunn standing with someone they didn't know. "Quit messing around. We gotta keep moving."

James: "Torunn!"

James shouted in relief. Giving a small smile in return, Torunn leaped down to meet her 'siblings'.

Pym: "You're alive!"

Pym cried out happily as he hugged her around the waist.

Torunn: "What? You honestly didn't think I'd leave, did you? Besides, who'd help James when he's having a panic?

James rolled his eyes as the guys laughed a little bit.

James: What happened?

Torunn: I wasn't strong enough. I lost my sword, my father didn't come for me and because of me, Thomas was injured.

Zachary: Where's Tommy?

Thomas: [weakly] Here...

Thomas was in bandages and the young heroes looked at Thomas and noticed his stab wounds, not only that his suit was damaged. Mostly just scratches near the stomach area and one mark on his chest.

Thomas: [weakly] I'm... fine... I... Agh!

Before he could finish, Thomas felt another spike in pain with more blood leaking out from his sides. He gets on his knees.

Torunn: [worried] Thomas!

???: He needs medical attention.

The silver-haired boy picks him up.

???: We'll get him there.

"Look," the white-haired boy interrupted, "Ultron is wired into every one of his machines. We get spotted, we're toast."

Torunn: "It's okay," Torunn assured her family, "He's no harm to us. We can trust him."

She flew off to follow the boy with James and the rest of their little family following behind.

The children of the Avengers followed the pale-haired male in single file as they walked across what seemed to be a sewage pipe.

Pym: "So," Pym began, "quick question: Who're you?"

Hawkeye: "The name's Barton," the boy replied, "But everyone calls me Hawkeye. These are my team who accompanied me throughout this.

Quicksilver: The name's Quicksilver, I'm so fast you barely have time to react. [Went like a fast blur before coming back]

Hawkeye: [rubs the bridge between the nose] And he's also annoying.

???: And I, am, the amazing Ms. Marvel! [Stretches her arms as they get big, and flexes them]

Hawkeye: [sighs]

Nova: And she likes to show off, and copy moves and characteristics from the One Piece character, Luffy. Also hey I'm Nova, recruit of the NOVA Corp.

The girl in the red waves shyly

Scarlet Witch: H- Hello everyone, I am Scarlet Witch, and I am the sister of Quicksilver.

F.R.I.D.A.Y: Scanning... detected mutant and inhuman DNA.

Zachary: So two are mutants and she's inhuman.

Quicksilver: How'd you know?

Zachary: My dad told us tales about mutants and Inhumans living on Earth.

Pym: "Hawkeye? The Archer?" Pym asked in surprise.

Azari: "Wait a minute," Azari spoke up. "Barton? Do you know a guy named Clint Barton?"

Hawkeye turned around and walked up to the African male.

Hawkeye: "Okay, kid, how do you know my dad?"

Azari: 'Kid'? You're like a day older than us."

Zachary: And around my age, how long did you and the others live here for?

Hawkeye: 12 years.

Pym stepped up to the pale-haired boy. "We think your dad was an Avenger, like our parents."

Hawkeye: "Like your parents?" Hawkeye repeated. "Your parents were Avengers? My dad said...he said I was the last! He told me I'd be the last Avenger!"

His eyes filled with anger as he picked up Pym by the shoulders and began shaking him lightly.

Hawkeye: "I've been here fighting all this time. Where have you been?"

James: "Let him go!"

James said, walking up to Hawkeye and placing a hand on his arm, telling him to let the younger boy down.

James: "We didn't know."

The pale-haired boy's eyes roamed over each of the five's faces, lingering on Torunn's for a little longer than necessary.

Hawkeye: "I thought I was the last one."

He said, at last, beginning to walk once again, the others following close behind.

Zachary: What did Clint tell him over the years?

They arrived at what looked like an old subway station. Except for the debris, trashed missiles, and the ruined American flag, the entire place looked fine.

Hawk"My father brought people to the underground after Ultron took over," Hawkeye explained,

Hawkeye: "He taught them how to survive. We live out of Ultron's rule, keeping out of sight, hiding in the cracks. But the machines finally caught my dad. Now I lead the scavengers; I keep them moving. I keep them safe."

He took off his bow and quiver and set them to the side as he took a seat on a small crate.

Hawkeye: [to Quicksilver] Quicksilver. Get Parker to the Medical Lab.

Quicksilver: Already ahead of you.

Nova: Think we should tell her that he's here?

Hawkeye: We might.

Quicksilver picks him up and runs fast he arrives at a tube-shaped bed, and places Thomas inside as it slowly fills up with liquids filled with healing properties.

Quicksilver: Take care now, you'll be back in tiptop shape in no time. [He leaves]

With the others

Pym: "Awesome!"

Pym exclaimed after they all took a seat, Vision's head in his lap.

Pym: "You can help us rescue Tony!"

Hawkeye: "Who's 'Tony'?"

The pale-haired boy asked as he started to make new arrows.

Zachary: My father.

Azari: "Your dad wasn't the last Avenger, Tony was. You know, the Knight? Iron Man? He got captured by Ultron and we're going to go rescue him."

Unfortunately, the reaction they received from Hawkeye was less than expected. He laughed.

Hawkeye: "Yeah right, I'm sorry kid," the pale-haired boy said, calming down, "But Ultron doesn't keep prisoners. Iron Man or not, this guy, Tony, is dust."

???: "No," a calm voice objected, "he's alive."

They all looked towards the person to see an elderly woman with white hair down to mid-back and light-brown eyes.

She wore a grey long-sleeved shirt with a long red skirt and a lime-green sweatshirt tied loosely around her neck. She wore a pair of loafers on her feet.

???: "If Tony was captured," the woman said, walking up to the group, "Ultron has him in the Citadel."

James: "Tony's alive? Really?"

James asked hopefully with a determined face as he and his 'siblings' walked up to the woman.

Hawkeye: "Don't even listen to her," Hawkeye told the group, "she's crazy."

James: "No!" James protested. "If there's a chance he's alive, we're going after him. We're going to this Citadel."

He walked up to Hawkeye and held his hand out.

James: "We could use a hand."

The pale-haired boy looked at the offered hand for a minute before turning back to his arrows.

Hawkeye: "I've got better things to do than get disintegrated."

Zachary: "Did your father give up this easily?"

Zachary asked without thinking. Hawkeye gritted his teeth as he walked toward the black-haired boy.

Hawkeye: "If you bring up my father one more time, I will punch you in the face."

His eyes strayed over to Torunn once again.

Hawkeye: "Fine! Your funeral. I'll show you how to get there. After that, you're on your own. Let's just wait for Parker.

Zachary: OK, how do you know about Tommy?

Hawkeye gives him a hint.

Hawkeye: Well, remember the part about the cat being caught in the web.

Zachary: [realized] It can't be...

At the Medical Lab.

As Thomas was being slowly healed, a hand slowly touched the glass of the tank.

Thomas barely opened his eyes and his vision started blurring.

???: You've grown so much... my little spider.

The person appears to be an adult female. She has white hair, still maintaining her curvy hourglass figure, currently wearing a black jacket and pants.

???: [shed a small tear] I've missed you so much.

She slowly hugs the tube as she sheds tears after that, she disappears without a trace.

Thomas: [mentally] Mom...

Thomas slowly closes his eyes. A few minutes later, he's now fully healed. The tube opens as it releases hissing sounds. Quicksilver is here waiting for him.

Quicksilver: Hey, you're healed.

Thomas slowly touches his head as he almost remembers his mother's look.

Quicksilver: Here, I brought you some lunch.

Quicksilver handed the tray of food to Thomas

Quicksilver: Sometimes the side effects of the healing tube can cause you hunger.

Thomas: Thanks.[eating his food]

Quicksilver: So, you're like, you know Spider-Man's son right?

Thomas nodded

Quicksilver: Cool. My friends and I heard stories about him and the Avengers.

Thomas: You... You have?

Quicksilver: Yeah. And you would be surprised by the person looking after us. Anyway, let's go catch up with the others.

Thomas finished his lunch and followed Quicksilver.

Thomas: [finished eating as he set the tray aside] Okay.

Quicksilver: Oh, almost forgot.[gave him a note] Someone wants me to give you this.

Thomas: Really? [He grabs the note as he looks at it]

"Hello, sweetie

If you managed to find the letter as I want to say I can bring myself to say how much I miss you over the years.

You've grown so much that you are almost like your father, I'm sorry that neither of us was ever there for you when you got older... We wanted you safe and alive as we hope to see you again...

Your father was an amazing Spiderman as he went through hardships throughout his life... And so do you...

I'm proud of you, my beautiful boy... my little spider.

Love mom..."

Thomas shed tears as some of it hit the paper.

Thomas: Mom...

Quicksilver: You ok?

Thomas: I'm okay...

Quicksilver and Thomas headed to the group.

[Elsewhere]

Ultron had just finished torturing Tony and still got no info from him. He heard movement and some sparks. He turned and saw the robotic Iron Spider-Man whose arms were destroyed.

Ultron: Perhaps an upgrade is in order.

Ultron put his hand on a pad and a door opened. He walked through the door with Iron Spider-Man following him. He entered the room with Iron Spider-Man present, he reached to the door as he opened it, revealing a tube containing a moving slime inside.

Ultron: It's time for the world to remember that you still exist.

He walks towards Iron Spider-Man and opens the tube as the slime slowly covers Iron Spider-Man. The iron spider twitches falls, and makes weird movements as the slime slowly completely covers its body

Ultron: Are you prepared to finish the job?

Iron Spider?: *We... Are...*

The voice box starts glitching as it slowly becomes dangerously familiar.

???: Yesssss... we are...

The slime finished covering its face, and the eye areas slowly grow pure white eyes as its mouth area slowly gets unhinged showing sharp teeth.

End of Chapter 4
