LANA GROANED as she sat up, on the cold floor. She looked around and then at her arms and legs. They were bound by heavy metal chains. She tugged at them. "Don't try it's useless. You're too weak," Ultron's metallic voice called.

She looked up at him, "What do you want with me?"

"Well I have a theory," Ulton said. He walked around the table he was standing behind and undid the power dampening cuffs. He injected her with a substance and she hissed.

"What are you doing?"

"Testing that theory."

A wave of dizziness overtook her and her vision blurred. Her throat constricted and she gagged.

"Well I was right," Ultron chuckled before he turned to where the other Romanoff was now waking up, "I didn't think you'd wake up. I hoped you would. I wanted to show you."

"What are you doing to her?"

"Her DNA's different to yours otherwise you would have gone through it too. I mean your all sisters, but you don't have the same trauma," Ultron shrugged.

"Well stop it."

"I can't. I have been burdened by knowledge. This is how it's supposed to be, this is her destiny," Natasha glanced at her sister just as she passed out. Small cracks with light peaking from underneath littered her face before fading into her skin.

"I think a lot about meteors. The purity in them. Boom! The end. Start again. The world made clean, for the new man to rebuild. I was meant to be new. I was meant to be beautiful. The world would have looked to the sky and seen hope, seen mercy.

"Instead they'll look up in horror because of you. You've wounded me. I give you full marks for that. But like the man said, what doesn't kill me..." A metal hand shot through his face and he emerged from behind it, "...just makes me stronger."

He closed the cell-like door in front of Natasha and left. The woman quickly got to work and waited for her sister to wake.

Sometime later, Lana gasped awake.

"Finally. How are you feeling?"

"I feel great. I'm fine," Lana said.

"Natasha!" The two looked up as Banner entered.

"Bruce?" Natasha sat up.

"You all right?" He asked.

"Yeah."

"I fine, thanks for asking," Lana mumbled.

"The team is in the city. It's about to light up."

"I don't suppose you found a key lying around here somewhere," Natasha suggested.

"Yeah I did," he pulled out a gun and the two shifted. After he had shot the lock Lana pulled the gate open.

"So what's our play?" she asked.

"I'm here to get you to safety."

"Job's not finished," Natasha said.

"We could help with the evacuation, but I can't be in a fight near civilians," Banner replied, "And you've done plenty. Our fight is over."

"So we just disappear?" Natasha asked.

"Alright, you two do what you want but I'm helping," Lana told them.

"Ok," Bruce explained the situation as he led them out and they came upon the street. Chaos had started and Lana felt her blood pump. She left the two and directed the civilians elsewhere.

She saw Wanda get blasted and ran over to her, "Are you alright?"

"I should be asking you," Wanda replied.

Lana panted as she stood, "Ultron did something to me. I don't know what. But I feel great."

"You're eyes..."

"What?"

"They're orange."

"We'll deal with it later." Clint came over and handed her an earpiece, "Thanks."

The ground rumbled and they halted.

"What was that?"

"Do you see the beauty of it?" Ultron's voice boomed, "The inevitability. You rise, only to fall. You, Avengers, you are my meteor. My swift and terrible sword. And the earth will crack with the weight of your failure. Purge me from your computers, turn my own flesh against me. It means nothing. "

A robot approached it and a thrumming vibrated from Lana's body and a beam of light shot out and hit it.

Clint and Wanda looked at her causing her to shrug.

"When the dust settles, the only thing living in this world will be metal."
