Katriana's POV

U-Gin Genetic Research Lab, Seoul, Korea

"Cellular cohesion will take a few hours, but we can initiate the consciousness stream. We're uploading your cerebral matrix...now." Dr. Cho works on transferring Ultron to a better body as we walk in slowly, Wanda at the front.

"I can read him. He is dreaming." Wanda stares at Ultron's new body.

"I wouldn't call it dreams. It's Ultron's base consciousness, informational noise. Soon..." Dr. Cho says.

"How soon? I'm not being pushy." Ultron looks at her, and I realize she is being mind-controlled, but why?

"We're imprinting a physical brain. There are no shortcuts. Even if your magic gem is..." Dr. Cho starts, and Wanda, was reading Ultron's mind, and she screams. Pietro and I rush to her side, worried.

"How could you?" Wanda spat.

"How could I what?" Ultron didn't understand. We didn't either.

"You said we would destroy the Avengers, make a better world." She accuses.

"It will be better," Ultron assures.

"When everyone is dead." I gasp and hide behind Pietro.

"That is not...! The human race will have every opportunity to improve." Ultron reasons.

"And if they don't?" Pietro asks.

"Ask Noah," Ultron smirks.

"You're a madman." I snap.

"There were more than a dozen extinction-level events before even the dinosaurs got theirs. When the Earth starts to settle, God throws a stone at it, and believe me, he's winding up. We have to evolve. There's no room for the weak." Ultron says.

"And who decides who's weak?" Pietro asks as Wanda breaks the scepter's hold off of Cho

"Life. Life always decides. There's incoming. The Quinjet. We have to move." Ultron commands. Dr. Cho cancels the upload to Ultron's consciousness.

"That's not a problem." Ultron blasts Cho, and we runoff.

"He killed her! It's our fault!" I sob.

"It's not Kitty, don't worry." Wanda soothes as Pietro looks at the TV above us.

"Come on, The Avengers need our help," Pietro says, and we go to help them.

"Ultron's over there!" I yell, dropping into the train, along with Wanda.

"Please. Don't do this." He pleads as Wanda uses the train racks above us to stop the bullets.

"What choice do we have?" She asks, and I blast him, but he flies off and the blast just singes the train slightly.

"Civilians in our path." The American Man says as Pietro speeds off. "Can you stop this thing?" He asks as we use our powers to stop the train. Once we were done, we rush out to Pietro.

"I'm fine. I just need to take a minute." Pietro sighs, panting. I stare at the man, who had come up to us.

"I'm very tempted not to give you one." He snaps.

"The Cradle, did you get it?" Wanda asks.

"Stark will take care of it." He assures.

"No, he won't." I cock my head to one side.

"You don't know what you're talking about, Stark's not crazy." He reasons.

"He will do anything to make things right," Wanda says.

"Stark, come in. Stark. Anyone on comms?" He presses something in his ear.

"Ultron can't tell the difference between saving the world and destroying it. Where do you think he gets that?" Wanda points out.

~Time Skip~

We storm into the room, Steve leading us. "I'm gonna say this once." He commands.

"How about 'nonce'?" Stark snaps.

"Shut it down!" Steve bellows.

"Nope, not gonna happen." Stark retorts.

"You don't know what you're doing," Steve says.

"And you do? She's not in your head?" Banner gestures to Wanda.

"I know you're angry." Wanda reasons.

"Oh, we're way past that. I could choke the life out of you and never change a shade." He snarls, and I stand in front of Wanda protectively, staring him down.

"Banner, after everything that's happened..." Steve huffs.

"That's nothing compared to what's coming!" Stark snaps.

"You don't know what's in there!" I retort.

"This isn't a game..." Steve tries.

"The creature...!" Wanda yells and Pietro uses his speed to destroy the lab equipment.

"No, no. Go on. You were saying?" Pietro smirks as suddenly the glass under him breaks, sending him falling to the ground.

"Pietro!" We both yell.

"Go ahead, piss me off." Banner brings Wanda into a chokehold and she pushes him back, pushing him behind her, letting her go as Thor enters and pounds the cradle with his hammer, sending a powerful bolt of lightning that brings the body to life and we all look in shock.

"I'm sorry, that was...odd. Thank you." The android says.

"Thor, you helped create this?" Steve asks.

"I've had a vision. A whirlpool that sucks in all hope of life and at its center is that." Thor points to the gem inside Vision's head.

"What, the gem?" Banner asks.

"It's the Mind Stone. It's one of the six Infinity Stones, the greatest power in the universe, unparalleled in its destructive capabilities." Thor explains.

"Then why would you bring it to..." Steve asks.

"Because Stark is right," Thor replies.

"Oh, it's definitely the end times." Banner sighs.

"The Avengers cannot defeat Ultron." Thor reasons.

"Not alone." The android says.

"Why does your 'vision' sound like JARVIS?" Steve questions.

"We...we reconfigured JARVIS' matrix to create something new." Stark sighs.

"I think I've had my fill of new." Steve retorts.

"You think I'm a child of Ultron?" Vision adds.

"You're not?" Steve stares at Vision intently.

"I'm not Ultron. I'm not JARVIS. I am...I am." He tries.

"I looked in your head and saw annihilation." Wanda snarls.

"Look again." Vision says.

"Yeah. Her seal of approval means jack to me." Clint snaps, as I walk next to Wanda and Pietro.

"Their powers, the horrors in our heads, Ultron himself, they all came from the Mind Stone, and they're nothing compared to what it can unleash. But with it on our side..." Thor points to us, then his head, then Vision.

"Is it? Are you? On our side?" Steve looks at Vision.

"I don't think it's that simple." Vision says.

"Well, it better get real simple real soon." Clint snaps

"I am on the side of life. Ultron isn't, he will end it all." Vision informs.

"What's he waiting for?" Stark asks.

"You." Vision says.

"Where?" Banner asks.

"Sokovia. He's got Nat there too." Clint answers.

"If we're wrong about you if you're the monster that Ultron made you to be..." Bruce starts.

"What will you do?" Vision asks. "I don't want to kill Ultron. He's unique, and he's in pain. But that pain will roll over the earth, so he must be destroyed. Every form he's built, every trace of his presence on the net, we have to act now. And not one of us can do it without the others. Maybe I am a monster. I don't think I'd know if I were one. I'm not what you are, and not what you intended. So there may be no way to make you trust me. But we need to go." Vision holds up Thor's hammer and hands it to him. He then walks off, us all staring at him.

"Right. Well done." Thor pats Stark on the shoulder.

"Three minutes. Get what you need." Steve commands and we follow them into a room where Pietro fits into a new shirt, and new shoes. He throws Wanda a scarlet jacket.

"Hey kid, over here," Stark says, and we all look at him. "The youngest?" He tries.

"What do you want with Kat?" Wanda asks.

"Oh, okay. Um, I decided to get her this hoodie, so people won't recognize her, and after this, she might live a normal life?" Stark holds out a hoodie. I take it nervously and pull it on, finding it surprisingly comfortable.

"Thank you... Tony." I smile.

"Yeah, come on. Capiscle's waiting." We follow him into the Quinjet.

"You look wonderful." Wanda smiles.

"You might be able to go to school huh?" Pietro smirks, pulling down my hoodie and ruffling my hair.

"I don't wanna though." I pout.

"Ultron knows we're coming. Odds are we'll be riding into heavy fire, and that's what we signed up for. But the people of Sokovia, they didn't. So our priority is getting them out. All they want is to live their lives in peace, and that's not going to happen today. But we can do our best to protect them. And we can get the job done, and find out what Ultron's been building. We find Romanoff, and we clear the field. Keep the fight between us. Ultron thinks we're monsters and we're what's wrong with the world. This isn't just about beating him. It's about whether he's right." Steve commands. Once we get there, I fix my hair and pull on the hoodie as Pietro speeds into the Sokovian police station. I and Wanda use our powers to get the civilians out.

"Go!" Steve yells.

"Get off the bridge! Run!" Wanda says as robots begin attacking us. I quickly take them down as one of the shoots at Wanda, and she falls. I destroy all of them, then run to Wanda.

"You okay?" I ask.

"Yeah. Don't worry about me." She replies.

"Okay." We separate, and we go find other people, but the ground between us shifts and breaks, as my home goes up into the air. I quickly start helping people off before the city could rise higher.

"We are not clear! We are very not clear!" Steve yells, fighting the robots. I quickly use my powers to blast them away.

"Throw your shield in their chests. That's where the power source is." I say, before destroying more robots.

"The next wave's gonna hit any minute. What have you got, Stark?" Steve asks.

"Well, nothing great. Maybe a way to blow up the city. That'll keep it from impacting the surface if you guys can get clear." Tony replies though the earpiece. I gasp. Why are they going to blow up Sokovia?

"I asked for a solution, not an escape plan." Steve snaps.

"Impact radius is getting bigger every second. We're going to have to make a choice." Tony replies. So that's why. If the city falls... that's what Wanda saw!

"Cap, these people are going nowhere. If Stark finds a way to blow this rock..." Natasha reasons.

"Not 'til everyone's safe." Steve stubbornly says.

"Everyone up here versus everyone down there? There's no math there." Natasha says.

"I'd hate to admit it, but it's true. I don't want to blow up my home, but if that's what it takes to save the world then fine." I intervene.

"I'm not leaving this rock with one civilian on it." Steve decides.

"I didn't say we should leave. There's worse ways to go. Where else am I gonna get a view like this?" Natasha says, looking at the view. I had to admit, it was quite nice.

"Glad you like the view, Romanoff. It's about to get better." A voice I did not recognize appears on the earpiece as a Helicarrier appears. It's called a Helicarrier, right? "Nice, right? I pulled her out of mothballs with a couple of old friends. She's dusty, but she'll do."

"Fury, you son of a bitch." Steve smiles.

"Oooh! You kiss your mother with that mouth?" Fury replies.

"This is SHIELD?" Pietro asks, speeding over to us.

"This is what SHIELD's supposed to be," Steve says.

"This is not so bad," I admit.

"Let's load 'em up," Steve commands, and we all help people on the lifeboats that pop off from the Helicarrier. A black and white version of the Iron Man suit flies out, destroying the robots that tried to hit the lifeboats.

"Avengers, time to work for a living," Tony says as we meet up in the middle of Sokovia, in the church.

"You good?" Pietro asks.

"Yeah." Wanda breathes. They then both look at me.

"I'm fine. It's a little hot under the hoodie, but it's fine." I reply.

"Romanoff? You and Banner better not be playing hide the zucchini." Tony accuses.

Relax, Shell-head. Not all of us can fly. What's the drill?" Natasha asks.

"This is the drill. If Ultron gets a hand on the core, we lose." He points at the spire in the middle and we circle around it, protecting it.

"Is that the best you can do?" Thor bellows as Ultron appears, and raises his hand to summon his army of robots.

"You had to ask." Steve sighs.

"This is the best I can do. This is exactly what I wanted. All of you, against all of me. How could you possibly hope to stop me?" Ultron asks.

"Well, like the old man said. Together." We start fighting off the robots but then some robots start leaving.

"They'll try to leave the city," Thor says.

"We can't let 'em, not even one. Rhodey!" Tony commands.

"I'm on it," Rhodey replies.

"We gotta move out. Even I can tell the air is getting thin. You guys get to the boats, I'll sweep for stragglers, be right behind you." Steve commands.

"What about the core?" Clint asks.

"I'll protect it. It's my job." Wanda pipes up. Steve, Clint, and Natasha leave, but I and Pietro stay behind.

"Get the people on the boats," Wanda tells us.

"We're not going to leave you here." I retorted, crossing my arms.

"I can handle this." Wanda blasts off an approaching robot. "Come back for me when everyone else is off, not before." She commands, looking at Pietro.

"Hmm." Pietro stares at her, not moving.

"You understand?" Wanda asks.

"You know, I'm twelve minutes older than you," Pietro says, and Wanda chuckles.

"Go," Wanda says, and we leave.

"Be safe Wands," I say. I go to the Helicarrier, but I don't notice Pietro until a stabbing pain in my heart makes me turn around, and there he was, dead on the ground. I start crying, as Tony walks up to me.

"Wanda? Is she?" I sob.

"Don't worry, she's okay. Vision just put her in another boat." He replies.

"Okay, then. Thank you." I reply, wiping away tears from my face.

"Hey, I know that your brother just died, so you need to let those tears fall. "You know kid when I first heard your name, Kat-"

"It's Katriana, but yeah, Kat." I cut him off, heeding his advice and letting the tears roll down.

"Yeah, well I thought of this candy that you had to try." He hands me a red packet that says Kit-Kat, and I look at it curiously.

"Don't worry. It's not poisoned. Here, I have one." He takes out another packet, rips it open, and breaks the two wafers apart, eating one at a time. I do the same thing, and chocolatey goodness fills me up, cheering me up instantly.

"Thank you." I give him a watery smile, as we arrive at the Helicarrier, I rush to Wanda.

"Kitty! You're safe!" Wanda hugs me tightly.

"Yeah. I am." I reply sadly.

"Pietro's..." She starts sadly.

"Yeah. I know." We both find a bench to sit on and start crying softly together, mourning the loss of our brother.

~Time Skip~

We were finally being trained to become Avengers. After a week after Pietro's death, and a day after my 14th birthday. Wanda, and I walk into the room, as Sam, Rhodey, and Vision walk in with us too.

"Avengers!" Steve calls, framed by the sunshine outside and we snap to attention.

I had to okay? It felt really important to make Pietro die. Don't worry, I'll be adding him back in Endgame. Next are some random chapters, before we start Civil War and mess some lives up >:)/>:(
