Tony: "Vision!"

Tony exclaimed as he threw the door to James' bungalow open before running to the fallen android.

Vision: "My apologies," Vision said, "The drones in Ultra-City have been upgraded. One was able to damage my immaterial form as I left."

Tony: "Were you followed?"

Vision: "Negative," the android responded. "Did I set off the alarms? Perhaps my electronic access keys were damaged? And how odd...this doesn't look like the control center."

Tony: "Everything's going to be alright."

Tony said, taking one of Vison's arms around his shoulders as he began to haul him out of the bungalow.

Tony: "C'mon, let's get you to the workshop." He turned to the confused children behind him. "Stay here," Tony ordered.

Pym: "AH!"

Pym shouted as he finally processed just what had happened.

The six broke out of their stupor and rushed out of the bungalow, watching as Tony carried the android away.

James: "Tony?"

James asked, not understanding what was going on. Tony sighed, as he continued walking away.

Tony: "Look, I know you have questions. I promise I will explain everything, but later. Right now I have to take care of my friend. Please, stay in your rooms.[to Zachary] Zach, come with me."

Zachary nodded and followed his father. children of the Avengers could only watch as the closest thing they had to a father figure moved farther and farther away. Leaving their heads filled with questions they needed answers to.

Tony and Zachary walked slowly into the same courtyard Torunn had been in just a few moments before. He carried the android over a pillar and placed his hand on the small image of Iron Man's head. Upon placing his palm on the icon, a bright blue light erupted from underneath the man's hand.

Behind the two figures, the center of the courtyard opened up to reveal a wide set of stairs leading into an area underground. As Tony and the weak robot stepped into the passage, they never noticed the five sets of eyes watching after them.

Pym: "We're going to follow him, right?"

James: "Yeah."

Torunn: "Aye."

Azari: "No, no."

Azari said, walking out of the forest area into the clearing, standing in the others' way.

Azari: "Absolutely not! Tony said wait, so we'll wait. He'll explain everything; we need to respect his wishes."

Azari's eyes glowed gold as his tattoos lit up; his body crackled with electricity, creating a very intimidating image.

Torunn whipped out her sword and smirked as it absorbed the power the African boy emitted.

Said the boy watched, stunned, and groaned in defeat when his power no longer surrounded him.

James: You coming, Tommy?

Thomas: No thanks. I choose life.

As Thomas was about to head back to his bungalow, Torunn appeared right in front of him.

Torunn: [threatening] And I said we go follow them.

Thomas: Are you threatening me?

Torunn: [menacingly] MOVE, SPIDER!!!

The area shakes a bit as Thomas holds his ground, hiding the visible fear he's feeling

Thomas: Y- Yes sir. I mean boss, I mean ma'am, I mean m'lady.

Torunn: NOW!!!

Thomas: I'm going, I'm going!

Thomas runs back with fear.

James: Pym, Thomas you guys are the tech heads, open it up.

Thomas and Pym both nod at him and with their combined smarts both can open the secret entrance as Thomas and Pym perform a fist bump smirking.

Pym: Did you guys know the entrance was a secret door? I didn't and I'm way smarter than all of you. Maybe besides Tommy and Zach.

The four chose to ignore Pym each doing down one by one leaving Pym alone. He shrinks down and follows the others. Everyone was surprised having lived here their whole lives and never known about this place.

Torunn: How could we have lived here all this time and not known about this?

The five continued walking, going through the door that opened automatically.

Azari (Worried): Guy we're going to get in so much trouble.

Thomas: Oh, don't be such a worry wort Azari. Tony won't even know we're here. We are like ninjas or something.

While walking James started to feel déjà vu. He felt like he had been here before as he stopped walking.

James: I think I've been here before when I was a kid. I remember holding on to this rail. I was falling on it, I remember being scared.

Pym (Amused): That sounds like you, big old scar-

The pixie boy spun around to see what he'd bumped into, only to find himself looking at a robot that looked like Captain America.

Several spotlights activated, each ray of light falling upon other robots, similar to the one Pym bumped into, in design; but completely different in looks.

Pym cried out in shock as the other four gasped in shock.

Azari: "What is this?"

Azari asked, finally regaining his ability to speak.

Thomas: "These are our parents."

Pym: "He's right, It's just like the story. That's my dad, Giant-Man."

The pixie boy said pointing to the enormous red-suited robot.

Pym: "That's James' Dad, the Soldier."

He motioned to the robot he bumped into a robot version of Black Widow.

Pym: "And his mom, the Black Widow!"

He pointed to the robot that looked somewhat like a female.

Pym: "And Azari's Cat-Dad, the King!

Pym pointed to the android dressed like the Panther.

Pym: And Thomas' dad, the Spider, and there's Torunn's dad.

Pym said, flying over to the robots that looked like Thor and Spider-Man.

Pym: "...or wait, maybe that's her mom; look at all that hair."

Torunn looked at Pym and threatened him by grabbing her sword. Pym flew away in fear as Torunn looked at the robotic version of her dad. Thomas looks at the Spider-Man robot. He knew deep down this was not his real father, but it was still amazing to look at.

Azari: "Who's that?"

Azari asked, walking over to a robot they didn't recognize.

Torunn: "It could be the Archer," the blonde-haired girl suggested. "But the Pixie is missing; and the Knight."

Pym: "Guys!" Pym exclaimed. "Tony called that robot 'the Vision', right? The Vision is the Ghost!"

The four looked over at James, who stood in front of the Captain America android.

Torunn: "Why would Tony keep this from us?

Azari: You know, we shouldn't be in here, if he wanted us to know about these things, he would tell us. Now we should keep going if we're going to spy on him. Find him I mean.

Azari walked away from Torunn with Pym following him. Both Thomas and Torunn were going to follow him, but James continued staring at the Iron Captain America.

Torunn: James, come on!

James just stood there still staring.

Thomas: [concerned/to Torunn] Look after James. Make sure he does not do anything dangerous or stupid, okay?

Torunn nodded at him as Thomas went and followed after Pym and Azari. The three boys continued down the path.

A pair of doors opened as Thomas, a normal-sized Pym, and Azari stepped through onto a raised walkway.

"Just relax, old friend," came Tony's voice, "I need to see how extensive the damage is. How did they find you?"

Thomas, Pym, and Azari walked over to look over the side of the walkway to see Tony and Zachary scanning the Vision while the android lay on what looked like a table of sorts.

A small panel on the robot's abdomen opened up.

"I was accessing the mainframe," the Vision explained.

Pym: "Eww! Robot guts!"

"All of Europe has been subjugated to the machine forces since my last report," Vision informed, "Drones are gathering along the Pacific rim and Eastern Europe. The invasion of Asia will soon commence."

Tony: In 13 years, he's conquered half the planet.

Tony and his son begin to repair him

Zachary: We'll have to ensure that there's a chance his reign ends this year.

Vision: Also, Clint Barton's son is alive

Tony (Shocked): What?

Zachary: Who?

Azari: Hey, who's Clint Barton?

Pym: Maybe he was the knight Or the pixie.

Thomas: Pym, the Pixie was your mom, idiot.

Vision: That is not all Tony. Barton is working with children of other superpowered people. Nova, Ms. Marvel, Scarlet Witch, and Quicksilver have all been aiding him. Keeping him safe.

Zachary: Where are they?

Meanwhile, James and Torunn are still in the Iron Avengers area.

Torunn: James, we should go.

James: "What if it has my dad's voice?" James asked suddenly. "O-Or if it's programmed to be like him? Or has his memories? D'you think he can hear me?"

Torunn's eyes softened, but could only look away as she had no answer.

James: "Umm, Dad," James spoke to the android. "Can you hear me? Hello? Are you awake?"

Torunn placed a hand on the boy's shoulder.

Torunn: "James it's not your dad; it's a robot. No matter what you do, he won't respond the way you want him to."

Shrugging off her hand, James took a step forward, not noticing that half his foot was in the spotlight focused on the Captain America android.

James: "Sir? Captain America? Are, uh, are you, um, online?"

Somehow the words triggered something because the moment that last word left James' lips, the Captain America android's eyes began glowing a vibrant yellow.

Gasping, the boy jumped back in shock, Torunn looking just as surprised at this development as he was.

"Iron Avenger, Designation: Captain America. Now online," the robot said, walking forward out from where it once stood. "Accessing mission data banks; Mission Acquired: Destruction of AI-3, Designation: Ultron Commence."

Torunn: "Ultron?"

Torunn commented, looking at James before they both watched the robot walk past them.

"Avengers Assemble," Iron America said, turning around to address the rest of the Iron Avengers, his shield raised as a signal.

As though Iron America's words were the activation keys, each Iron Avenger 'woke up' and began following after Iron America.

James: "Whoa, wait!"

James cried out, the results of his curiosity finally dawning on him. The ground shook as the Iron Giant-Man awoke and walked after the rest of its Iron comrades.

James: "Stop!"

James shouted, running after the group of robot heroes.

James: "Uhh, stand down! Stop! Dad!"

James tried pulling on Iron America's arm but to no avail. And so the two children of the Avengers could only watch as the Iron Avengers made their way out of the room they were in before the roof opened in what looked like a launching platform.

Back with Tony, Vision, Zachary, Pym, Azari, and Thomas. The three boys continued watching Tony and Vision, that is until Pym started slipping and almost fell but Thomas grabbed him stopping him from falling further. Tony heard a noise and looked up seeing the three. Thomas pulled Pym back up as Azari patted his head.

Tony: Pym, Thomas, Azari. What are you three doing down here?

Thomas: Uh, we can explain.

Back with James and Torunn. They both watched as one by one the Iron Avengers left the base going out to fight Ultron. With Tony, he notices his tools shaking, and on the screen is a warning that the Iron Avengers has been launched.

Zachary: There's some kind of interference in the technology.

A small alarm went off as JACOSTA's voice was heard, "Iron Avengers Launch Sequence Initiated." The words 'Irons Avengers Launch' flashed on a screen with some sort of radar.

Tony: "Oh no."

Tony breathed, face paling, as he whipped off his goggles.

James: Oops.

Torunn: Verly.

In a large room filled with moving screens of live footage, stood a silver robot with red accents atop a tall silver pillar with red accents.

"Energy source detection," a deep, computerized voice spoke, images of the Earth from space shown on the rotating screens. "Location: Arctic Circle. Energy analysis matched with fugitive designation: Iron Man." Multiple images of sorts of Iron Man appeared on the screens.

"Finally," the robot spoke.

Back at the island, The two teens looked at each other before running off to find Tony and the others.

Tony typed as fast as he could on the keyboard, all the while, keeping his eyes on the radar that had announced the launch of the Iron Avengers. Zachary looks at his father worried.

Tony: JACOSTA, send reserve power to long-range radar.

Pym, Azari, and Thomas all jumped down on Tony's level.

Azari (Worried): Tony, this was not my idea it was-

Tony: Boys grab Vision's head.

The three boys looked at each other and then turned to Vision, who looked at them with a small smile.

"Hello, Henry. Hello, Azari. Hello Thomas," Vision greeted.

Thomas: Won't that like kill it?

Tony: Boys now!

Thomas shrugged as the three went near Vision's head, and Pym gently took off visions head leaving them mostly shocked

Pym: Awesome!

Thomas: I wouldn't describe awesome into this.

"Multiple radar contacts," came JACOSTA's voice. "Designation: Iron Avengers."

Pym: What's going on?

Before Tony could respond on the radar screen. While it showed the Iron Avengers on the screen it then showed one red dot that seemed to be alone. That one Red Dot was Ultron.

Torunn: Tony

Tony turned around and saw Torunn and James who had a look of fear on their faces.

James: I'm sorry, there were these robots that looked like our parents, and then-

Tony looked at them before looking back at the screen

Torunn: I think he knows.

The Iron Avengers flew off in no particular formation to fulfill the duty they were programmed to do.

However, when a streak of red suddenly flew up in the distance, Iron Captain America's eyes zoomed in on the target, coming to a stop, with the other Iron Avengers halting behind him.

Iron Giant-Man flew up over the halted Iron Avengers but was too slow to stop the sudden flash of silver and red from piercing its head.

Tony: We're leaving!"

Tony stated, pressing a few buttons as he watched the radar.

Azari: "What you mean 'leaving'?"

Pym: "Leaving? Leaving as in we're leaving here? But, but, we've never left here!"

Each of the Iron Avengers readied their weapons but had no chance as the mysterious figure plunged his fingers into Iron Widow's back.

Red lines appeared on the android's body from the fingers placed on the android's back, causing her once-yellow eyes to turn red.

Tony: "Get to the Control Center," Tony ordered, "We don't have much time. Vision will explain."

James: "Vision? What about you?"

James echoed, watching Tony move to another screen that displayed images of their home.

"Alert," came JACOSTA's voice, "Iron Widow: Offline."

Tony's face showed nothing but shock and slight fear at those words.

Tony: "You have to get to the Control Center!"

The entrance closed as the six children of the Avengers ran out to where they were told to go, Pym carrying Vision's head with them, the alarm still sounding loudly.

"Iron Thor: Offline," JACOSTA's voice informed.

Torunn: "We shouldn't have left him!"

Torunn said as they continued running.

Azari: "He told us to!" Azari reminded the blonde-haired girl. "We have to get to the Control Center! That's what he said!"

"Iron Black Panther: Offline," JACOSTA notified.

"Those robots, the Iron Avengers?" James asked, "Why are they going Offline?"

"Iron Spider-Man: Offline," JACOSTA notified.

Thomas; Anything else online?

"Iron Captain America: Offline," DRAKOSTA reported.

The group of six as that piece of news was delivered.

Vision: The Enemy has developed the ability to infect machinery corrupting and overriding with its own. There is a high probability that the Iron Avengers have been compromised.

Thomas: So you're telling me that Tony built robot versions of our parents and made them fight a robot who can corrupt him? Am I the only one who sees a major problem with that?

Zachary: Nope.

Vision: He was the last of them. Ultron will be coming for us now.

Pym: Wait, wait, wait Ultron? Really? Ultron is coming here?

But no sooner did the young boy say that did the group feel a tremor run through the place they knew to be home. Something blasted through what they knew to be the sky, revealing a ceiling made up of hundreds of thousands of hexagonal panels that turned grey. The clear blue and fluffy clouds dissipated as each tile went blank.

Torunn and Zachary grabbed Azari, James, Thomas, and Pym, who held onto Vision's head, and flew out of the way before any of the heavy tilings that were blasted apart could crush them.

James felt something cold on his cheek and looked up to find snow falling into their home from the outside.

The group could only shield their eyes as a red orb came into view and started floating down into their home.

The children lowered their arms to see who it was, only to come face-to-face with a large whitish-silver robot with red accents.

There was no doubt about it: Ultron was here and he was after them.

"Children: Unexpected," the robot spoke, "Assessment: Potential Threats. Commencing Termination." And with that, the android began powering up an energy beam that shot out of its palm.

But before it could unleash its attack, metallic red and gold arms flung the large robot away from the children.

Iron Man shot his uni-beam from the circular jewel on his chest plate, pushing the large android back a couple of hundred yards.

Pym: "The Knight," Pym said softly, as the group ran up to the large suit of armor. "Iron Man."

Iron Man's face mask opened up to reveal the face of the guardian and father figure, Tony Stark.

Tony: "Get to the Control Center," he ordered the group once again. "I'll hold it off."

Zachary: "Dad?"

Zachary asked, hesitantly. The sound of rockets reached the group's ears. They looked up to find Ultron shooting up into the air.

Tony: "I'll be right behind you," Tony reassured them. "Go!"

His face mask was back in place as he flew up to join Ultron in the air.

Torunn: "This is wrong! We have to help him!"

Torunn said worriedly, grasping the hilt of her sword, which was strapped to her back.

"Children!" Vision said urgently. "Do as Iron Man says. You must protect the others, Torunn. Your safety is of the utmost importance. Iron Man will join you shortly."

Zachary; [looks at his father worried] Dad....

Everyone then walked away. Thomas noticed the angered look on Torunn's face

Thomas: Look, Tony is giving us a chance to escape, I know you want to help him trust me, I know but the best course of action is to get to the controls. Okay?

Torunn thought for a moment but nodded at Thomas who smiled and then shot a web to catch up with the others while Torunn followed.

Iron Man and Ultron threw energy blasts at each other as they zipped through the air, throwing in a few kicks and punches occasionally.

They flew through the semi-artificial forestry, Iron Man activating the two rocket boosters on his back to give him a little more speed. Unfortunately, Ultron was more than capable of catching up to the armored man.

The children ran into a large ship as Torunn held onto her sword in case it was needed.

Pym places Vision's head onto a small platform with controls.

Pym: "Stay, robot-head," the young boys ordered, "We'll be right back."

And with that, the children started for the entrance to go back and help Tony. None noticed the android's head as its eyes glowed red. They did, however, hear when Vision spoke.

Vision: Vision override, command code, Quinjet.

Pym: What's a Quintet?

The exit behind them closed, shocking them all as six chairs appeared. The jet rose from its resting spot and left the dome. Everyone looked outside and saw their home.

Please take a seat," Vision told the six, "We are launching."

Azari: "Launching?"

The ship's thrusters fired up, shooting the ship up into the sky and knocking each of the children into a seat as they tried to hold on.

James: "No! NO! STOP! Go back!"

James shouted as he realized what was happening. But the reddish-haired boy's cries were unheard as the ship flew out of the hole Ultron had created in the ceiling.

But once they were out into the sky Pym looked up the window. "Whoa," he breathed as all the children looked wide-eyed at the sight of a crashed airship near the dome they knew to be their home.

Ultron threw a few punches with the occasional kick at the man in red and gold armor, sending him briefly to the ground.

However just as Iron Man got back up into the air, Ultron grabbed the armored hero by the shoulder plates. The same red lines that had appeared all over the Iron Widow's body began sprouting from Ultron's fingertips into Iron Man's shoulder plates, attempting to gain control of the armor.

Tony, however, had other ideas. He ripped off his shoulder plates when he noticed traces of Ultron's programming trying to override his own. The armored man began firing energy beams from his palms at the larger android, Ultron retaliating using the same attack as they whizzed in and out of the trees.

However, when Ultron let loose a giant beam of energy at Iron Man, Tony was knocked across the ground, his armor only remaining on some parts of his torso and legs. His face mask had been blasted clean off along with some other pieces of his armour.

"Struggling till the end: Illogical," Ultron said, tossing Iron Man's face mask at the man. "You must realize: the end is here."

Tony: "No!" Tony choked out. "Still...hope."

"False," the large android said immediately. "Hope is a human delusion."

Tony could only watch in alarm as each of his Iron Avengers, now under Ultron's complete control touched down behind the silver and red robot.

"Your Iron Avengers are now under my control, Iron Man," Ultron said, lifting the man by his collar. "And you belong to me."

None noticed the security camera capturing all the footage.

Pym: It's got Tony! Look! They're taking him!

Pym exclaimed as they all watched Ultron grab their father figure before the screen faded to black.

Torunn: Stupid robot! Do as we say! Turn this ship around now!

Torunn shouted at Vision's head, James looking on helplessly.

"I will not," Vision stated. "Iron Man sacrificed himself to keep you safe and that is what we will do. Stay safe. Stay hidden. There are parts of the world where Ultron has not breached. Far away from Ultra City. I have set a course for the Savage Land."

Azari: "The 'Savage Land'?"

Pym: "That sounds horrible!"

"Parts of it...are quite...nice...and...you'll..." Vision said, his voice fading. "Alert: Reserve Power Depleting. Recharge Re-"

Azari: "Sir?"

Azari asked when noticed the current guardian's voice stop.

Zachary: No, No, don't shut down on us!

Pym stood up to investigate what had happened to Vision's head.

Pym: "He's out of juice!"

The dark-brown-haired boy exclaimed to his makeshift family.

Azari: "Well that's just great!" Azari said sarcastically. "What now?"

Pym: "I think I can get him up and running, I'll need to reconfigure his power matrix-"

Torunn: I say thee nay. I will not run, and I will not hide I am the daughter of Thor and Ultron will pay for what he's done.

Azari: But Tony wanted us to be safe going after Ultron is the exact opposite. James, back me up."

His amber eyes shifted to the silent boy looking out the window.

Azari: "James?"

Torunn: "James?"

James: "I led Ultron to our home," the reddish-haired boy sighed guiltily. "Tony's gone because of me."

Torunn: "No!" Torunn shouted. "We're going after Ultron! Pym, take the controls
and head for this Ultra City.

The younger boy grinned as he took a seat at the controls.

Pym: I'm on it, Torunn! Uh, two questions: How do you fly this thing and where is Ultra City?

Thomas: Here let me help you out, little man.

Thomas and Pym worked together combining their big brains and with a few minutes passing the two managed to set the coordinates for Ultra City. The two boys once again fist bump both smirking.

Zachary: Nice job, you two. Alright, we set the coordinates and It's going to be a while before we get there. So, let's all try to get some rest. We all need it.

The five nodded at Zachary and everyone went to a chair and sat down to get some rest.

Thomas tossed his face mask and goggles into the air and shot a web for it to hang off of and sat down in his chair and lay on it before closing his eyes and falling asleep.

Felt like hours passed and Thomas was seen softly snoring in his chair. Only he hears laughter, he chooses to ignore it and tries to continue sleeping only for the laughing to continue as he opens his eyes to see James, Zachary, and Azari all giving him a smug look while Pym stuffs his laughter in.

Thomas: [sleepy] W-what's so funny?

James: [smirks/teasing] Why don't you turn around and look, Romeo?

Thomas yawns as he turns his head... Only to see Torunn sleeping beside him with her right arm wrapped around his body and her left hand on her head.

Thomas: [blushes] [internally screaming]:

Torunn slowly yawns as she rubs her eyes slowly opens her eyes and hearing her brothers' stuffed laughter, she looks up and sees Thomas's blushing face.

Thomas (blushes): H-Hey.

Torunn (blushes): G-greetings.

Torunn took her arms off of him and moved around him both blushing from the experience.

Thomas: [grabs his mask and goggles] I hate you guys.

End of Chapter 3
