The references begin with the title. If you know, you know.

I've had MAJOR writer's block and was trying to figure out certain ideas and I've had a lot of self doubt in my actual writing abilities.

So I apologise for the delay but this is a very very VERY long chapter so hopefully it somewhat makes up for the wait.

Also when I last updated, nine weeks ago, I was on 67K and now it's on 110K! I'm both amazed and surprised to see that you're interested in this book at all so Thank You Very Very Much!

QUESTION: If you've seen the trailer for Venom: Let There Be Carnage. What do you think of it?

I honestly think it looks great, Carnage looks SO good but I really hope that the movie is R-Rated.

Anyways onto the long awaited Chapter.

----------------------------------------------------------

In the Sokovian base which Ultron was using as his lair, Natasha had awoken in the dark and gloomy area with a large headache, feeling slightly disorientated. She responded by putting her hand to her forehead just to give her a few seconds to acclimatise to her surroundings.

She then heard a familiar voice say to her "I didn't think you'd wake up. I hoped you would. I wanted to show you......... I don't have anyone else." Ultron admitted almost sounding sad and a little pitiful?

Natasha looked around to see Ultron's bots working and crafting on something, what exactly it was? She didn't know as she began crawling back slowly.

"I think a lot about meteors, the purity of them. Boom! The end, start again." He then looks at Natasha with fury in his red eyes "Unfortunately, your boyfriend really hampers that theory. With him being immortal and all."

Romanoff furrowed her eyebrows as she knew exactly who Ultron was talking about "Y/N's not my..."

Ultron cut her off harshly "Yet you wish differently!" Ultron then decided to get under Black Widow's skin "I know about how he left you...... ALONE..... in that cemetery just before his disappearance." He then chuckles to himself "Just like he did to the Maximoffs' mother."

Natasha was really wounded by Ultron's words but she felt the want, no the NEED to defend her....... friend "You don't know anything about him. He's a good man."

Ultron lets out a strong 'HA' "Nick Fury might have wiped everything 'Official' about Y/N but Hydra had A LOT of classified information hidden, even from when you outed them last year......... It's you that doesn't know anything about him."

Ultron then proceeded to continue "As for 'the good man'. When humanity looks to a Mass Murderer who has commited countless crimes violating their own rights. They look to HIM for protection......... Then the world is a very broken place and I shall be the one to fix it." Natasha didn't agree with Ultron's philosophy in the slightest.

"The world needs to be made clean for the new man to rebuild and rise. I was meant to be new. I was meant to be beautiful. The world would've looked to the sky and seen hope, seen mercy. Instead they'll look up in horror because of you."

Heavy echoes were created by Ultron's metal feet as he stomped towards Natasha with the Black Widow scampering backwards in a panicked manner "You've wounded me. I give you full marks for that."

"But, like the man said, 'What doesn't kill me...' A figure from behind then violently smash through Ultron's skull and rips him apart like wet tissue paper only to reveal a new bigger, more menacing Ultron manufactured out of Vibranium.

"...Just makes me stronger." He then locked Natasha in a cell by pulling a big heavy door shut. He then towered over the Black Widow as he fixated his eyes on her through the bars of the door.

"When the time comes you, Wanda, Pietro and the rest of the Avengers will all die with Venompool left isolated and defeated wondering............ 'What a failure I truly am'"

Ultron then went back to his work area to continue creating the centerpiece to his grand scheme.

Natasha on the other hand was left by herself which was a big mistake on Ultron's part as she now had time to plan a way to give the Avengers her location.

----

Meanwhile, Y/N, Wanda and Pietro were currently on board of a jet that Y/N had 'commandeered' with the coordinates set for New York to regroup with the rest of the Avengers at the Tower.

Y/N was definitely caught in two minds at the moment, a small amount of him was cast towards Natasha who he was hoping was safe and sound despite being stuck with Ultron because if she wasn't then there was going to be a large metal head stuck upon his wall like a Hunter's trophy.

However where his mind was leaning more towards was the two teenagers that were loitering about the seating area of the plane.

There were very few words spoken during the time between when Pietro and Wanda agreed to go with Y/N after stopping the train in Seoul and right now flying high in the sky.

The Merc had set the aircraft to Auto Pilot so that he could talk to the twins who were currently thinking about the same think as Y/N was.

'What the fuck am I going to say?'

Wanda and Pietro had been waiting for this moment their entire lives to talk to their dad whilst Y/N in contrast had comparatively little time to think about the whole ordeal.

However it was one of those situations that no amount of time could ever properly prepare you for.

Before Y/N could open the door to go into the main area of the plane, Venom stuck his tendril across to stop him.

"What is it?" Y/N asked his Symbiote, who could tell that Y/N was shitting bricks and there was a point where Venom thought that could become a literal possiblity.

"I just wanted to wish you Good luck out there." Venom wished his host, thinking it best to keep quiet "I genuinely mean that."

Y/N felt a small bit of rubble of the metaphorical boulder that was weighing down upon him fall off at the Symbiote honesty.

"Thanks V."

The Symbiote grew an arm out of Y/N's side and patted him on the back "Go and knock it outta the park." Venom encouraged before making himself scarce.

Y/N opened the door and left the cockpit to head into the main seating area of the aircraft, every step he took felt as if he was stepping on broken glass or scorching hot coals.

As soon as he entered the Maximoffs immediately turned their attention to him, there was a little sweat running down the sides of their faces whilst nervously tapping their fingers on their knees.

Holy shit, was this nerve-wracking.

Y/N stopped by the stocked fridge and grabbed some snacks "The benefits of travelling First Class eh?" He joke but unfortunately got nothing much more than some silenced shrugs.

Y/N sat down opposite them slowly and adjusting himself, trying to get himself as comfortable as he could in what was honestly an uncomfortable environment.

"At the speed we're going, we should be there in about twelve-ish hours so it's up to you if you wanna sleep first and talk later or vice versa." Y/N informed them, it was fair in his mind that this was on their terms rather than his.

"I don't think putting it off any longer is going to do much good." Wanda replied, giving Y/N his answer.

Y/N nodded his head once, allowing silence fill the void of discomfort once again for the time being. It was probably about 30-45 seconds of pure awkwardness before anyone decided to say anything and of course it was big mouth himself who tried to instigate the conversation.

"Soooooooo" Y/N sheepishly dragged out for longer than necessary "What was your childhood like?" That seemed like an appropriate question to get the ball rolling.

"Hard." Pietro bluntly responded with slight toxicity in his words.

The Merc was caught off guard 'Yeahhhhh, a terrible place to start.' Y/N thought to himself.

Y/N looked to Wanda for a more elaborate explanation to what her brother said "He's not wrong it was hard but we had each other........ And mother."

----

*Flashback - Sokovia 2006*

An eight year old Wanda and Pietro were seen walking back from school after another long and difficult day. Wanda had particularly difficult hardships at school because she was a very quiet and reserved character who was an easy target for her classmates.

The only person who she could really rely on was her brother who was her stark opposite when it came to personality.

Pietro tried to fit in by making himself easy to talk to however his hardships came from him having to constantly defend Wanda from their peers mocking, taunting and outright bullying his sister because she was too shy to say anything back.

He utterly HATED when people would belittle with his sister just for their own amusement because he knew how awesome she was.

Even when he would defend his sister, the twins would often get ridiculed by their classmates because they were the only children in their class that didn't have both parents.

Damn, could kids be cruel when you give them a chance.

Despite them being Chalk and Cheese in personalities, they always blended well together and that was something that neither thought was ever going to change and they loved each other because of that fact alone.

Both siblings had a deep sense of abnormality, fueled mostly down to the powers that they were born with.

Wanda was born with telekinesis which she often found difficult to control as sometimes her emotions got the better of her, it meant certain objects went flying randomly and occasionally........ People.

Pietro on the other hand was born with super speed which, if it wasn't for his mother Diana, he definitely would have shown off because that was sort of what he was about. He would've also tried to convince Wanda to show off, just to highlight that she was WAY cooler than anyone else at school could ever be.

The two twins were walking back home but decided to stop in a local shop to buy their mother a bag of Malteasers with remaining money they had from their school lunch fund which Pietro put in his backpack to save as a surprise for later.

They knew Diana worked hard in her minimal paying job to provide for them so they wanted to show their appreciation. Despite their struggles, their mother had definitely raised them right when it came to being caring towards others.

"Are we gonna watch The Dick Van Dyke show when we get home?" Pietro asked his sister with little to no enthusiasm, knowing what her answer was going to be.

Wanda had a cheerful grin on her face "I thought you hated it?"

Despite some reluctance, Pietro had to admit defeat "It's not that bad, I just prefer watching sports. You know because it's manly." He said as he started to dramatically flex his fairly small biceps and grunt like a bodybuilder lifting weights.

Wanda shook her head in disapproval "Yes because you are so manly." She mocked him before smirking in his direction "Besides I knew you secretly love these old sitcoms." She poked her brother in the ribs a few times which made him squirm a little.

Pietro gently pushed her off "Love is taking it too far."

"You love it." She pushed.

Pietro didn't want to have a tennis style argument with his sister so instead countered with "I like the Dick Van Dyke show, the same way you like basketball."

"I don't like basketball, I tolerate it." Wanda bluntly responded.

"Exactly!" He proclaimed "I wish I could've watched the Bulls in their Prime. I'm too young to even remember the Lakers with Kobe and Shaq." Pietro began to rant.

"I swear you mention this Every. Single. Day." Wanda groaned, not wanting to hear this from her brother again.

"I was born in the wrong era for basketball." Pietro dreamily sighed completely ignoring his sister's complaining, instead pondering on how he wished he would've been been able to witness the likes of Jordan, Pippen and Rodman.

The pair continued their towards their home and when they got home, the pair walked through the front door and yelled "MOM WE'RE HOME!"

Their mother didn't reply but they shrugged it off as nothing so they turned to head into the living room to watch TV, however they got a proper fright as a man with a skinhead haircut, wearing a monocle over his right eye, stood to greet them.

"Ah Wanda, Pietro. The famous twins, we've been waiting for you." He said in a fairly upbeat manner, his accented voice thick and heavy.

The twins were confused as to what was happening and to who this man was however they looked over his shoulder to see their mother who gave them a fake smile masking her real fear along with three large, threatening looking men.

The twins immediately knew that this was a large pickle that they were caught within. However they sat down on the sofa next to their mother, Wanda in the middle and Pietro on the left side of his sister.

Strucker was in awe of the twins, it was borderline creepy "Oh what a day! What a lovely day!" The excitement was exuding off of the man and it really wasn't a good look.

The man's obsession with them was evident almost immediately and to the twins it felt very disconcerting as they subtly shuffled closer to their mother.

Strucker took a seat in the chair opposite the family and introduced himself "I'm Baron Wolfgang Von Strucker and I must say it is very exciting to finally meet you."

"Why?" Pietro questioned, however Diana put her hand on his arm and squeezed, silently telling him not to say anything.

"I'm glad you asked." Strucker smiled as he pulled out a tablet from his briefcase "We've been watching you both for a while."

Diana's expression changed from slightly worried to angry ",You've been watching MY children!?" Her protective mother mode kicking in. Despite the venomous tone that she had, Strucker couldn't have cared less about it.

Strucker pulled up a set of videos on his tablet all whilst the four henchman stared down the family of tree, their looks filled with intimidation and it was certainly working on the twins.

"I must say you two are remarkable." He complimented as he held the tablet in the direction of the family which showed a colour video of a small boy very much matching Pietro's description, zooming through an empty street whilst he thought no one was looking.

"Pietro, you're faster than any man let alone any boy your age." Strucker stated as he admired the ability of Pietro's pace.

"That doesn't look anything like Pietro." Diana lied, but it seemed truthful and convincing to the twins however not so much to the monocle wearing man.

"Hmmm." Strucker narrowed his eyes in the direction of Diana who returned the look.

Strucker then pulled up another video, this time of a young girl with brunette hair surrounded by a group of six girls who were tormenting her. Wanda remembered it well, it was one of the times she had walked back home alone because Pietro had basketball club at school.

The video went on to show the girls pushing Wanda about until she finally had enough. The brunette Sokovian girl screamed and thrusted her arms out which sent all the bullies off of their feet, flying several feet backwards.

Wanda stood as still as statue before she realised what she had done the ran off which is where the video had ended.

",This is very impressive Wanda, sending six girls flying without touching them is some great power." Strucker commended Wanda however she didn't feel particularly proud.

"Well Mr Strucker, like you said Wanda didn't touch them so perhaps they all threw themselves to the ground just to make my daughter look bad to anybody around." Diana defended her daughter which immediately raised Wanda's mood.

Both twins were really beginning to see why their mother had been so adamant that they never show off their abilities except in the house because things like this would occur.

"An interesting theory." Strucker said however yet again could tell that Diana was protecting them "However a wrong one." He glared at her.

His glare towards Diana was then changed to admiration for the twins, it was scary how quickly Strucker could change his emotions, like they were being controlled by the flick of a switch.

"So children, I would like to offer you the chance to join me at Hydra. We believe you have bright futures and want to get the best out of your abilities so they can benefit a large number of people now and in the future." Strucker propositioned, sounding like a teacher wanting to recruit students for a school in the way he was speaking.

Wanda and Pietro didn't trust Strucker or these men at all. In their minds, no place that needed men to look at them in a threatening manner was a good place to be.

Thankfully for the twins, their mother was quick to defend them and shut down that possibility before it could even come to light.

Diana then stood to her feet with conviction "Absolutely not! They're happy and better off with me in my care. I DON'T appreciate that you've been watching MY children and I think that you and your friends should leave my house NOW!" She ordered, Wanda and Pietro knew their mother could be scary when angry but it worried them deeply when the men didn't even flinch, not even a bit.

Strucker wasn't prepared to leave without something so instead posed a question that would get under the Sokovian single mother's skin "Perhaps I could talk to their father, maybe he'll be more considerate for their futures."

Diana looked sad at the mention of Y/N "Do not mention him." She warned, Diana definitely had a tenacious side to her which she was not afraid to show to Strucker at the moment.

Strucker instead directed the question to the children "Wanda? Pietro? Where is your father?" He really gave them a properly scary look which struck fear into the eight year olds.

Diana desperately didn't want them to bring him up but the thing about fear is that it can sometimes overwhelm you and do things that you may regret.

Wanda then suddenly answered yet with a sad tone "He went away for work before we were born......... And he didn't come back."

(A/N - R.I.P Helen McCrory, if you know Harry Potter or Peaky Blinders, you know who she is.)

"Ah" Strucker responded with a small laugh, figuring that was the case "That is a shame, kids without parents don't tend to do so well."

"They still have ME." Diana said determinedly, in the back of her mind she always wanted to live up to the 'Wonder Woman' nickname that Y/N had given her in the past and did her absolute best for the two best things in her life.

Strucker sighed loudly "That's the problem." Strucker said in a cryptic way which confused the mother and the twins greatly.

Strucker then subtly nodded to one of the henchman who then aggressively grabbed Diana by her long brown hair before throwing her to the ground harshly.

"MUM!!!!" Both twins yelled at the same time however they were met with pistols being aimed at them from men behind Strucker stopping them from doing anything.

The henchman then started punching Diana in the face with harsh power, bloodying her up as he nose and lip busted open. All while Strucker looked on with a sick smile on his face at the feisty woman's fate.

Strucker knew this was probably the likelihood of how this was going to go and in a way it was better because this woman was really becoming a bit of a thorn in his side and what would be in Hydra's mind the greater good.

Pietro felt a deep pit of anger build up within him after seeing his beloved mother being hurt, so he ran towards the man using his super speed.

Strucker's men were about to fire at Pietro but Strucker ordered them to hold off, instead from a scientific perspective wanted to see what was going to happen.

Pietro kicked the man's knee, which dropped him down more to Pietro's small height. He then got his small fists and began peppering the man with punches directly to the face with ferocious speed.

"LEAVE MY MOTHER ALONE!" He bellowed.

Unfortunately for the brave silver haired boy, despite the rapid succession of punches they had very little effect on the attacker who responded by driving his adult sized fist straight into Pietro's jaw and knocking backwards to the floor.

"PIETRO!!" Wanda cried out, horrified by seeing her twin getting hurt and it seemed to activate something within of her.

Despite what she had been told by her mother about hiding their powers, now seemed like an absolutely wonderful time to break some rules.

She lifted her hand and swiped the air sending all of the men into the walls of the living room, the plaster became indented as well as having huge cracks which travelled all the way up to the ceiling.

Diana who was beginning to come around again, used this temporary setback for the men, to run towards the twins and grab both of their hands. She literally yanked them along, almost pulling their shoulders out of their sockets.

"Where are we going!?" Wanda panickedly asked her mother, she was hyperventilating at this point as they exited their house with little to no items.

"Away." Diana told them in a very no nonsense tone as she hastily unlocked her car before forcing her children inside the back of the car.

"But, this is home." Pietro pleaded as the pair reluctantly put on their seatbelts whilst Diana got into the driver's seat.

"I'm sorry baby." Diana looked at him sadly through the rearview mirror, clear pentinece buried deep within her eyes "But we have to go for your safety."

Diana shoved the key into the ignition before putting her foot down on the pedal to drive away from their family home which Wanda and Pietro looked back at sadly knowing they were unlikely to see it again.

Strucker and his henchmen came out of the front door as they saw the car departing quickly, definitely breaking the legal speed limit.

The henchman brought up guns to shoot at the car however Strucker who had his eyes fixated on the car ordered "Hold your fire!"

The henchman subsequently put down their firearms as one of them said "But they are getting away?" He questioned why their boss decided to pull the plug on the retrieval now.

Strucker looked at the fellow Hydra man and explained "I don't want them harmed."

In Strucker's mind, it had been a successful mission. Yes, they didn't get the twins but his suspicions of their identities were confirmed AND he got to see a demonstration of what they could do.

He then shot a hopeful smile out into the open "We'll get them........ One way or another."

*Flashback Over*

----

"We were always moving, rarely settling anywhere. Mother kept us safe for two years, until the Novi Grad bombings." Pietro explained, the memories scarred the silver haired teen and his sister deeply.

Y/N remembered hearing about the Novi Grad bombings of 2008, which literally occurred only a few months prior to when Tony called for Stark Industries to stop making weapons and revealing himself to the world as Iron Man.

The H/C mercenary put his hand over his mouth, utterly horrified that this was the kind of childhood that they had endured. Even Venom was disgusted at the thought of Hydra desperately trying to recruit children.

However there was something that Y/N couldn't quite wrap his head around after hearing their story "I don't understand though...... If you spent so long trying to avoid Hydra, why would you join them willingly? AND undergo experiments from Yves Saint La-Nonce?" The last word of that question was the key part.

Pietro took in a big breath of air before exhaling slowly looking at his sister before back at Y/N "I'm really fast but when you're ten and have no parents or anyone else to look after you......... Running seems pointless."

'Jesus fuckin' Christ.' Y/N thought to himself.

"We gave ourselves up to them......... Looking back on it, I think our own grief manipulated us." Wanda added on, her brother completely and utterly agreeing with every word that came out of his sister's mouth.

It practically confirmed what Y/N had thought about the Maximoffs. They were in no way bad kids or evil or anything of the sort. Just caught up in a bad situation which in his own mind could've been avoided.

"When we were with Hydra that's when we started to hate you." Wanda admitted.

"Because I wasn't there to help you." Y/N made a quick assumption.

"Because we thought you were dead the whole time." Pietro quickly responded which caused Y/N's eyes to go wide.

Wanda could see Y/N's visible confusion "Mother told us, you were some kind of soldier and that you were doing 'important work'...... But we're not stupid, we've watched the news, soldiers die everyday."

Pietro then stepped in "But when we found out you were ALIVE and not only that but what you were actually like and what you did. That's when it all changed for us."

"Well I've gained a real reputation over the years for being very brutal....... The kinda guy who if Goldilocks ate my porridge, sat on my chair and slept in my bed, I'd rip the little blonde bitch to fucking pieces and not feel any remorse about........ And the bears too just because they're in the way." Y/N really emphasised about how he went about his Mercenary work.

"That's a very dark outlook on children's fairy tale."

"I'm a very dark person." He replied, but wanted to pry further "So what else did you hear about me?" He knew that it was almost a guarantee that whatever it was, wasn't going to make him look like Gandhi.

"That you're a massive 'player' and are always sleeping around." Wanda replied with disgust, not a fan AT ALL of the whole 'Player' lifestyle.

Admittedly Y/N had hooked up with plenty of women over the years usually because of his charm and jokes, it also helped that he was very much easy on the eyes. Most of them usually on nights out and never usually being more than one night of fun or maybe the odd couple of times with the same person.

Y/N laughed a little out of irony, usually that was something he would brag about being a big hit with women but now definitely seemed like the time.

"I used to have sex with a lot of women, like A LOT. I would definitely be Jason Voorhees' number one target, I swear sex is like that dude's alarm clock." Y/N attempted to joke but it didn't really work.

Wanda scoffed in annoyance at Y/N's behaviour "Is everything just a big joke to you?"

Y/N did realise his error and tried to get back into serious mode "Sorry........ jokes are normally what I resort to in uncomfortable situations.......... And most other situations." He meaningfully explained to the two before he let out a long sigh.

"I suppose if I didn't have humour, I don't really know what I'd be left with." He confessed which practically blueprinted Y/N's life up until this point.

Now the tables had turned, it was Wanda and Pietro's turn to feel bad for Y/N. They were starting to understand themselves that Y/N like them had different sides to him.

The Sokovian brunette noticed this when she picked up on a key word he used not long ago.

"What do you mean 'used to'?"

"Sorry?" Y/N replied wondering what she meant.

"You said you used to...." She shuddered at the thought of it "Have sex with a lot of women. What changed?"

It was a fair question from the brunette Sokovian and Y/N felt obligated to answer it "Just before I met your mother, I was very interested in this one woman called Carol but she and I wouldn't have worked out as she had other 'priorities'." That was probably the best way to word that Danvers was a cosmic superheroine without actually saying it.

"Then I met your mother and I knew her for about six months before I left for work and your mum was awesome, she was funny, cool, smart. That's why I called her Wonder Woman." Y/N explained, the memories with Diana bringing a big smile to his face.

"Yeah, she was great. So why didn't you come back to her?" Pietro queried in his mind he had no idea why anyone would leave someone as wonderful as his mother.

Y/N chuckled, entirely out of irony than it being actually amusing "Try telling someone that you're a natural born murderer who never ages or dies...... It doesn't exactly make for Dinner Conversation."

"It's also the reason I had to stop anything before it even got started with another woman."

Pietro made an assumption "This Nat woman? The one you looked worried for earlier."

"Uh yeah." Y/N strained out a smile as he scratched the hairs that were standing up on the back of his neck.

The Maximoffs were keen to understand more "What happened?" Wanda queried.

Y/N chuckled out of irony "After a few of us took down S.H.I.E.L.D and a lot of Hydra, she admitted she had feelings for me which was fucking awesome." The twins nodded along, following with what he was saying so far.

"I obviously returned them but I couldn't go through with it because of the stupid healing factor........... it's funny really because we're very similar yet very different." Y/N reminisced on why he liked Natasha so much.

"How so?"

"Best way to describe it, I'm the Friday nights and she's the Monday mornings......" Y/N felt as if his head was spinning because of the terrible memory "Ever since I broke her heart, I haven't slept with anyone. I mean I've kissed a girl but not slept with anyone for around a year."

Y/n then began to let his emotions flow out much like a waterfall "But it's just not in the cards for me to have a 'relationship'." Y/N then laughed in pure irony "Fuck, I didn't even think this..." He was pointing between himself and the twins " ... Was in the cards for me."

"Having children wasn't in the cards for you?" Wanda stated looking slightly frustrated.

"Not after last time."

Y/N went on to explain to them about the incident when he was a teenager and how he had lost a child once already because his own father had so much hate for Y/N that the prospect was disgusting in his eyes.

This really gave the Maximoffs a whole new dynamic on Y/N because they felt a deep sense of sympathy because no one deserved to lose a child.

"Wow......... I-I don't really know what to say." Pietro was at a loss for words at Y/N's teenage story.

"You don't have to say anything" Y/N sighed and eyeballed the floor "Besides it's in the past now, it's not gonna fuckin' change anything now." Y/N tried to pan it off as nothing but it still really heavily affected him because he wiped a year out of his eye.

"I'm so sorry......... I can't even begin to imagine what that's like." Wanda tried her best to empathise but ultimately couldn't because there really is nothing comparable to losing a child.

"Horrific, carrying my own friend's body trying to save her and our kid." As he once again reminisced on what happened when he was sprite, young 16 year old however the regenerating ex-soldier confessed something astonishing.

"Perhaps it happened for the best though." This completely took the twins off their guard.

"W-what? W-why would you think that's a good thing?" Wanda asked, not able to comprehend how anyone could find the positives from that.

Y/N put his index finger out to the twins "Ah, ah I never said it was a good thing but perhaps it happened for the best."

"W-why though?" Pieteo queried further.

"Well if I'd have had my first kid then you two would never have been born because I would never have joined the army so would probably have never become a mutant."

Wanda and Pietro glanced to each other, there was nothing they could say to refute that statement.

Y/N really wanted to move on from this topic because it was still sensitive and the mental wounds still stung even after all these years.

He clapped his hands and rubbed them together "Enough about that though, tell me about what happened at Hydra?"

"After we went with Hydra, they kept us locked up in tiny little cells next to each other." Pietro explained "They were really crappy living conditions, as soon as we got there we regretted it."

Wanda remembered when they first got to Hydra as well "Even though we were in close proximity to each other, the fact we were in sperate cells made it feel like we were so much further away.

The twins reminisced on their living conditions that they were in from the age of ten. Claustrophobia inducing cells with floors that looked like they'd never been clean, a worn out mattress where you could barely get any sleep on and the dead and dull aesthetic meant they had physically nothing to do but talk to each other which was just about the only thing that kept them going.

"So what happened with the experiments?" Y/N asked cautiously.

"Hydra used to use that stupid magical stick on us, trying to see if it would unlock something else within us. It was horrible." Pietro explained.

"The pain that we experienced just for the sake of trying to make us into weapons." Wanda sighed "It's still hard to think about."

Y/N huffed a little "I can sort of understand that."

"How?"

"It's how I got my abilities and my healing factor, I was supposed to become the first 'Super Slave' during World' War One." Y/N hummed remembering the day as if it had happened yesterday "Fuckin' painful procedure."

"So is there anything else that you can do?" Wanda asked.

Y/N chuckled nervously, it was nice to see that they were interested in him "Well, as shocking as it may seem but I'm also part vampire."

Wanda and Pietro both had completely deadpan expressions. Y/N had sort of forgotten how ridiculous it actually sounded to an outsider's perspective.

"Really? You expect us to believe that." Wanda scoffed.

"I didn't think you were a liar." Pietro added.

Y/N shook his head rapidly from side to side "No, no, no honestly it's true." Y/N then took his dominant hand and lifted his lip to show off his teeth "Watch." He instructed in a muffled voice.

Wanda rolled her eyes and Pietro snorted a little in disbelief but both twins still looked anyways and to their amazement saw Y/N's incisors transform into almost viper like incisors given how sharp they were.

"Woah." They simultaneously said.

Y/N shrunk his incisors back to their normal size and put his lip down "Yeah, it's pretty weird but it definitely has its benefits."

"So he do you survive in the daylight? I thought vampires were night creatures, at least that's what all the TV shows said." Pietro questioned.

"Healing factor means it's a mutated form, all the benefits, none of the weaknesses." Y/N answered his question.

"Like a Dhampir." Wanda stated.

"How do you know about that?" Y/N asked the girl, a little shocked.

"I liked to read when I was younger because I didn't have any friends, books were a good alternative." She admitted.

Y/N felt sad for Wanda but nodded in appreciation for the Sokovian girl's knowledge "Very impressive." Which earned a small timid smile from Wanda.

"Wait, wait, wait. Follow up question." Pietro said "Does that mean we're vampires too?" The silver haired teen questioned almost with excitement.

Y/N shook his head which unfortunately disappointed the speedster "I was only recently turned a few months back. My healing factor combats the weaknesses but keeps the strengths........ So fortunately, unfortunately you two are a couple of muggles." The Merc explained.

Both Wanda and Pietro were visibly puzzled by the terminology that Y/N had just used.

Y/N was hoping they'd catch on given their age "Muggles. You know, Harry Potter?." He tried to clarify but it didn't work because the twins shook their heads still not knowing what it was "Wow."

Y/N then looked to them and wondered about the most obvious enhancement that he had as Venompool, the creature that made up part of their alias.

"Mind if you make a little appearance?" Y/N mentally asked Venom.

"Sure, if you think it'll help." Venom agreed, eager to help out if he could.

Y/N reverted his attention back to the Maximoffs who he could see, thanks to his strong eyesight, that Pietro had several droplets of sweat running down the side of his face and Wanda's breathing was heavy, probably still out of nervousness.

A common trait that both twins held was that their heartbeats were way faster than the average speed which Y/N could detect thanks to his enhanced hearing. Clearly the whole ordeal was really getting to everyone including himself as Y/N shared a few of these ticks with them

"I'm sure with your time at Hydra you know about my friend, Venom." Y/N made an assumption of their knowledge with both twins nodding in response before he asked "You wanna meet him?"

Wanda was dubious about meeting an alien whereas Pietro was much more fascinated in interacting with one "Uh yes." Pietro said as if it was obvious.

Y/N made a cringed expression "I must warn you, he's not exactly as easy on the eyes as me." Y/N warned, unable to resist poking fun at Venom's expense.

"Fuck. You."

Pietro scoffed whilst Wanda remained silent "How bad could it be?" Pietro queried as he made some ghoulish noises and fingers much like a child about to hear a ghost story who was trying to pretend he wasn't scared.

"Alright but don't say I didn't warn you." Y/N then put his right hand near his shoulder "Venom, come on out, don't be shy." Y/N attempted to introduce.

A few seconds later, slowly out of Y/N's back came the long, wet black head of the famous Symbiote and as per usual when people first met Venom, the Maximoffs shuddered and tried to move backwards but their backs hut against the seats.

Venom looked to Y/N "Every. Single. Time." The Klyntar said in reference to him inducing fear into people everytime he met them and Y/N couldn't help but agree.

Venom then grew an arm out of Y/N's torso and extended his slimy, razor sharp clawed hand to the twins "I'm Venom nice to meet you." The Symbiote tried to polite which was difficult as he didn't get to exude social skills very often.

The Maximoffs were very hesitant to shake the symbiote's hand because they were still quite scared of the creature however Y/N smiled at them reassuringly as he put a hand on Venom's head and patted him before running it down his trail.

"Come on guys, he doesn't bite and he's really friendly." Y/N set out to ensure that Venom meant no harm.

Unfortunately being bonded to Venom for so long had made him forget how terrifying it was for other people to meet an alien lifeform for the first time and especially one that looked like...........well Venom.

The Symbiote was not a fan of being touched by Y/N as he wriggled free from Y/N's touch "First off, I do bite and second off stop stroking me! I'm not a dog!"

The Symbiote turned his attention back to the Maximoffs "Sorry about him."

Pietro decided to make the first move as he tentatively extended his hand towards Venom's and shook it nervously, cringing at the touch of the slimy creature "Ewww that's super gross." Pietro thought out loud.

Venom laughed "Thank you that does so much for my self confidence." He sarcastically remarked.

"Sorry." Pietro apologised sincerely.

Venom waved it off as nothing before he held his hand out to Wanda who after seeing her brother do take that step, felt a lot more confident so followed the same path.

"N-nice to meet you." She apprehensively stuttered out, still not fully comfortable.

"Likewise."

Venom then smiled at them with his pointy white teeth, before wanting to fight for Y/N's corner "Listen kids." Venom used his arm to lightly slap Y/N in the face a few times "Your dad is not a bad guy, sure he's definitely NOT your traditional human but that's what makes him great."

Generally Y/N would make fun of Venom for speaking nicely about him because they had that sort of love-hate friendship over the years but to see the Symbiote come through for him as he was doing, signified how strong their friendship was.

"He's funny and there's rarely a dull moment with him, yeah he's not always serious but when it matters he really does care." 

The two Maximoffs were in awe of what they had heard and couldn't quite muster up anything to say and to his surprise neither could Y/N.

Venom read the room and figured it was time to make himself scarce again "I'm going to leave now because I think I've overstayed my welcome." Venom waved to the Maximoffs "It was nice to meet you."

"You too." Pietro said as Venom nodded to them both before taking his leave back inside Y/N's body.

"Thanks bud." Y/N graciously said to Venom mentally.

"Anytime."

It was a very weird exchange for the Maximoffs, they had just been told good things about their father by a talking alien head who lived inside of their father's body. What a strange world.

After a few seconds of silence, Y/N realised how selfish he was being as for the second time now he had constantly been telling them about his experiences and not listening to theirs.

"Sorry, sorry, sorry. Shit!" He repeated in quick succession "I keep talking about myself. I'll try to keep my big fat trap shut. Please continue."

Pietro and Wanda were appreciative that Y/N was trying to consider them. The twins looked at each other because they both knew how difficult it was to talk about their horrific experiences at Hydra.

"We were the youngest people at Hydra, only being ten." Pietro explained before taking a huge inhale of air, the memories extremely painful to revisit "For seven years, we and so many others were experimented on."

Wanda then took over from her brother "We'd hear and see the screams and cries of countless people being experimented on, it was absolutely nightmarish what they used to do to children."

The pair remembered seeing other children, probably captured from all corners of the planet being forced into these experiments with Loki's sceptre.

"We heard and watched most of it from our cells where we 'learned' how to control our powers." Wanda explained further.

"We didn't get any chance to make friends at Hydra, we only ever saw the same kids twice and never got to interact." Pietro elaborated on their Hydra nightmare.

Y/N was a little confused "You saw them twice? What do you mean?"

"Once when they went in for their experiments and once when came out...... Dead." Pietro answered, closing his eyes as he did.

"Oh my fucking God." Y/N and Venom said together at the same time, both utter shock at what these poor teens had been forced to experience.

"Kids would be yelling and screaming calling out so desperately for their parents to come and save them but it was no use, none of them ever came out alive." Wanda said in a very emotional manner, she couldn't help but feel horrible for those kids who only wanted to see their families again.

The parents could empathise with those children because even though they had built up hatred for their father over their years at Hydra, a small part of them still wanted him to come and find them.

Pietro and Wanda could still picture vividly the large number of kids that would come and go. It was like the worst horror movie that you could imagine, playing on repeat for years on end never stopping, never ending.

"Strucker's frustration at not being able to make anymore like us was taken out on us being out through more experiments to try and enhance us further." Wanda stated, coughing a little because her chest was hurting from having to relive it again.

Y/N's head began to ache from what he was hearing. It really reminded him of his experiences as a child/teenager mostly that his adult father taking his abuse out on him. It was almost like a carbon copy.

Y/N couldn't be more angry now that Ultron was the one to kill Strucker instead of him because in his eyes, Strucker was up there with the worse of them. However Y/N really tried his best to find the positives from it.

"Did it work?" Y/N questioned "I'd hate for you to have gone through all that for nothing."

Pietro chuckled "Wands got lucky in that department, she got a few more abilities. I, on the other hand, just got a bit faster than I was before." He thought back thinking how all the experiments over the years almost amounted to nothing for him really.

Wanda have her brother a side hug and squeezed him tightly. Y/N thought it was beautiful to see how strong their sibling bond was and how much they cared for each other.

"I got an upgrade on my mind powers." She then raised her left arm, with a little bit of red magic shrouding her hand "This red stuff, my ability to read minds but none of it was worth it, mother spending all that time and effort to keep us safe and hidden......... All for us to give up immediately just for the sake of a few more powers."

Y/N sat in silence, hand covering his mouth. Cowering in horror at what he had just heard from his two children and how they really did have a difficult life for the entire time they'd been on the planet.

Y/N had delivered a lot of punishment and taken a lot of it over the 100 years since he'd acquired his powers but hearing the struggles and hardships that his own flesh and blood had endured was a new kind of pain even for him.

After about a minute or so, he finally spoke "I'm so sorry... It sounds like it was... Tough." Y/N felt a bit stupid for well, saying the blindingly obvious however his choice of words were certainly an understatement.

Pietro snapped his head up at Y/N and shot him a deathly glare "Tough! Tough doesn't even begin to describe it!" He lashed out which surprised his sister.

There was nothing malicious or mean in what Y/N had said but the underwhelming outlook on it had just triggered about 17 years of built up frustration and anger in the male Sokovian teen.

Wanda tried to put a reassuring hand on her brother's forearm giving it a tight squeeze "Pietro stop it." She soothingly requested, trying to calm her brother down.

Pietro wrestled his arm away roughly from his sister's grip "No! He doesn't understand how hard it was for us! For mother!"

Y/N stood up from his seat to try and comfort Pietro. He wasn't sure that it was the right move but instinct and his gut told him that it was what he should do.

Pietro then used his super speed to grab Y/N by the collar and shake him a little violently. Y/N didn't fight back when he normally would've but Pietro really needed to let out some frustration that had built up over his life.

"WE NEEDED YOU AND YOU WEREN'T THERE!!? WHY COULDN'T YOU BE THERE!!?" Pietro then began to sob with his face turning red and subconsciously rested his forehead on Y/N's shoulder.

Y/N tentatively and carefully wrapped his arms around Pietro not wanting to make a wrong move, he felt as if he was navigating through an emotional minefield. Thankfully for him, the speedster seemed to be accepting of the embrace as Y/N patted him on the back slowly with Pietro wrapping his arms around Y/N's back.

(A/N - Why Sony cut this scene out of The Amazing Spiderman 2 baffles me.)

"I'm sorry." He whispered to Pietro, barely audible so much so that Wanda could hardly hear it.

"You were our hero growing up." Wanda said tearing up also as she sniffled and wiped away the stray tears with her forearm "Mother never ever spoke badly about you, even when she was upset that you never came back or called or anything."

The way that Wanda was describing Diana to Y/N, in his own mind he couldn't really imagine it properly. The only thing that sounded remotely comparable to it was that Futurama episode 'Jurassic Bark' where Seymour waited years for Fry to return but never did.

"I wish I wasn't your hero. I was always going to be a disappointment." He sadly admitted to the teenagers, feeling a deep pit of shame that HE was at one point a child's hero.

"Do you think we would have cared!?" Wanda yelled, her voice breaking at the outburst. She got up from her seat and walked up to Y/N and hugged Y/N as well before softly saying

"We just wanted our dad to come back."

It was a statement perhaps every child could relate to, because if someone was to dig right down to the bare bones of it. All any child really wants is the love and affection from their parents.

The three shared a silent hug for a few minutes with the twins sobbing into Y/N's Venompool suit but this was a tender moment for the three.

Sure it was just a hug, but it's incredible how many people take the simple things like a hug for granted and not properly appreciate them. 

It was something the twins had been wanting their whole lives............. A loving embrace with their dad...... and they held on like their lives depended on it.

Y/N on the other hand squeezed tightly on the two. It had been a rollercoaster ride for him over the last couple of days but being able to hug his own children, an experience he never thought he'd find was truly brilliant.

Like all good things, it eventually came to an end with the twins wiping their eyes dry and Y/N thinking that in his long life, this moment was without a shadow of a doubt the most loving moment of his life.

Y/N took both of their hands within his own which caused them to look at him, seeing the hopeful sparkle within his E/C orbs. Y/N made absolutely certain that he was looking at them dead in the eyes so they really could understand.

"I am so, so, SO fucking sorry that I wasn't there for you but I really want to make an effort if you'll give me a chance." He practically pleaded with them, he didn't think that he had ever sounded more desperate in his entire life than he did at this current moment in time.

Wanda and Pietro looked at each other contemplating what Y/N was asking of them. Not a murmur of dialogue was shared between the twins but they could both understand what they wanted just by the look in their eyes.

"Do you mind if we talk alone for a bit?" Wanda requested politely after roughly eight seconds.

Y/N took a step back, it was timid and somewhat reluctant but necessary "Of course!"

He then strolled over to the fridge and got a can of Fanta Orange and a packet of Walker's Ready Salted crisps "I'll just watch the in flight entertainment or something?" He said as he entered the cockpit before shutting the door closed.

The Maximoffs had much to discuss between themselves however before they could start conversing, Y/N flung the cockpit door open again, startling them both "Sorry! Forgot to say, take as much time as you need. Ok bye." He said in a very fast talking manner, kind of like a late night infomercial, before slamming the door shut again.

The two Maximoffs were left to themselves once more and they chuckled a little at Y/N's behaviour before getting into a discussion about a decision which would have a massive impact on their lives now and in the future.

----

Y/N was sitting in the pilot's chair with his feet up on the dash, looking at his watch for two reasons. A - To try and figure out how long before they got to New York and B - Trying, no matter how impossible, to speed up time so he could know their decision.

"How do you think it went?" Y/N asked aloud, his voice was slightly muffled as he was munching on his Ready Salted crisps.

Venom's head was lurking outside of Y/N's body "I mean it seemed like it went well but I guess time will tell. Chuck us a crisp."

Y/N obliged and threw a roundish potato crisp into the air which the Symbiote caught in his mouth before be munched on it "I gotta admit I'm pretty impressed with how you handled yourself out there. You didn't seem to fuck up really."

Y/N laughed a little "I guess all those TV shows and movies actually came in handy for once, other than just to irritate people."

"Who'd have thought it!?"

About forty minutes had passed since Y/N had left Wanda and Pietro to discuss their current situation with each other and it was a reasonable to say that the waiting game was possibly the least fun games to ever play.

The Merc was looking for anything that would help pass the time. I Spy, trying to make a song out of clicking all the buttons on the control panel, arm wrestling and even playing a SAVAGE version of Rock, Paper, Scissors with the Symbiote residing inside of him.

Y/N then felt his heart drop as he heard three knocks on the cockpit. Y/N was so nervous that he was practically glued to his chair, so much so that Venom had to take control in order to get him to his feet and walk him to the door.

Y/N let out a huge exhale of air "Moment of Truth." Y/N said to himself and Venom.

"Understatement."

Y/N composed himself and then slowly edged the cockpit door open before stepping out to greet the twins.

Pietro and Wanda stood shoulder to shoulder with each other as if they were one person rather than two and held each other's hand because they really needed each other right now.

Y/N could physically feel the sweat trailing down his back, feeling as if the anticipation and fear was trying it's best to escape his body.

This was without a doubt the biggest moment of his life.

"So uhhh, did you have a good talk?" Y/N queried anxiously, bouncing on the balls of his feet.

"Yeah, it was really good............ and we think that maybe we've misjudged you." Wanda revealed feeling a little guilty as did Pietro because their mother had raised them to be more considerate of other's feelings.

"It sounds like we've both had it hard and I  guess it's easy to hate someone when you don't know their side." Pietro admitted softly.

"You guys had every right to feel that way." Y/N said with shame in himself, looking down at the ground.

Pietro shrugged his shoulders "Maybe but it's something we want to work on...... With you." He said with a slight smile knowing it was good news for Y/N.

Y/N blinked the disbelief out of his eyes as his eyelids rapidly blinked many times. Y/N almost fainted on the spot but managed to regain himself "You want to stick around with me?"

"Well as long as we're there for each other. Then I don't see why we can't try." Wanda said with deep element of optimism fueling those words.

Pietro nodded along slowly, he agreed with his sister's every word "I reckon mother would want us to try as well."

Y/N had a huge smile on his face as he then in more of an instinctive act than anything else pulled both of them into an unsuspecting hug which surprised them and it was nice second time around for them all.

"Thank you." Y/N said barely above a whisper before he let them go and looked at them deadly serious "I can't promise that I won't hurt you or fuck up or do some really stupid shit every now and always BUT I just wanna try for you two and your mum."

Wanda then had a small smile on her features "That's all we ask."

Y/N nodded in understanding "Alright!" He said in a VERY over the top and cheerful way but he didn't care whatsoever.

(A/N - I'll take Freddie and Queen over any mumble rappers every day of the week.)

You could sense the familial connection as all three members, at the same time, subliminally wiped their cheeks of stray tears that had let themselves escape during this whole ordeal.

Y/N then gave each of them a squeeze on the shoulder and smiled "I'll give you some time to yourselves, I'm actually surprised you've managed to put up with me for as long as you did." The twins both chuckled a little "If I had a medal I'd give you one."

"Holding you to that." Pietro remarked.

Wanda then had something she wanted to get off of her chest "Can I tell you something?"

"Course."

Wanda looked down at the floor and let the most minimalistic of smirks drape on her face "You should really tell this Natasha woman that you love her." Wanda made a confident assumption.

Y/N's headed cocked back and he suddenly felt a huge barrier in his throat with his brain failing to come up with words for a response after hearing that certain four letter word "W-What?"

"Your hearing still works right old man?" Pietro teased Y/N as he agreed with Wanda "She said you should tell her you love her."

Y/N scoffed and shook his head "Love is a very strong word. Like and care for a great deal is definitely more accurate." Y/N immediately defended and tried to deny that he 'loved' Natasha.

"Bullshit."

"You looooove her." Pietro teased Y/N which relieved some of the surrounding tension encapsulating them all.

"No I don't." Y/N stood his ground against the Maximoffs.

"Y/N we've seen enough Sitcoms to know when someone loves another person." Wanda commented.

Y/N laughed a slight amount "You take after me in that department, I'm like Mr Pop Culture."

"Then you can take plenty of inspiration in how you tell her." Pietro tried to push Y/N further.

Y/N rolled his eyes "Is this going to be my life now? Getting teased and ganged up on by you two little Rugrats. Another great TV show by the way."

"Possibly."

"It's too easy."

Y/N laughed it off but it was fair to say that the Maximoffs had given him plenty to think of when it came to him and Natasha.

The regenerating Merc was then about to head back into the cockpit of the plane to give the Maximoffs some time to themselves and also to fly them back a bit quicker before he stopped in his tracks to ask the twins a question.

"One last thing........ You guys don't sing Disney songs at random points of the day? Not that there's anything wrong with that...... It's just I've heard the Frozen soundtrack enough to last a lifetime and for me that lasts pretty long."

Wanda shook her head to the side with a slight smile "How old do you think we are?"

Pietro on the other hand had a smile that spelled out bad intentions "But thanks for the tip on how to get on your nerves."

Y/N laughed a little before heading into the cockpit. The second the door shut and he was alone, the extremely giddy Y/N felt as if he was transported to the scene in Grease when Danny and the rest of the T-Birds were performing 'Greased Lightning'.

Venom shared his host's happiness and laughed loudly at Y/N's dancing, the Symbiote wasn't about to pass up an opportunity to make fun of Y/N "You look slightly ridiculous."

"Sheesh!!" Y/N exclaimed proudly "I could be dancing like this in front of the Queen of England and not feel an ounce of shame."

Venom did have a question that he was keen to know the answer of "You're still gonna be moronic and ridiculous and stupid, right?" The Symbiote almost sounded hopeful in what he was asking.

Y/N pouted "Awwww, does ickle wickle Venom think he'll miss outlandish Y/N?" The Merc mocked him using a babying earning a snort of disapproval from the Klyntar.

"Pffffffft, No! I might finally get some peace after all these years." Venom tried to convince himself but he knew deep down he wouldn't know who he would be without his wacky host.

"Well I don't think I'll ever be 'serious' but maybe a very teenie, weenie, incy, wincy, little bit more serious than I have been." Y/N's tone was pretty high pitched as he spoke.

"That wouldn't be difficult."

Venom and Y/N were laughing loudly with each other as they took their seat back in the pilot's chair with all their noise audible to the ears of the Maximoff twins.

"He seems happy." Pietro said to his sister who definitely shared her brother's claim.

"Yes, he does." Wanda said, unable to contain the smile that creeped onto her face "And I can't help but share it."

Pietro sat next to sister, pulling her into a tight and loving side hug allowing Wanda's head to rest on his shoulder becoming a makeshift pillow "Me too sister. Me too."

Pietro gave his sister a kiss on the head as Wanda admitted to the silver haired speedster "I just hope it works out for the best." They genuinely were hoping for the best but had grown up learning to throw caution into the wind.

"I do too................ but even if it doesn't we'll always have each other." Pietro reassured his sister which is something they had always promised each other ever since they were young.

Wanda smiled at his words, both Maximoff twins thankful that they had such a loving sibling by their side. As the pair began to drift off to sleep, they desperately hoped not to be disappointed by Y/N and that he could perhaps work his way up to being apart of their inner circle.

----

Back at the Avengers Tower, Bruce and Tony were working on getting the rediscovered J.A.R.V.I.S uploaded into the body that Ultron was intending to create whilst Steve and Clint were trying to find clues as to where Natasha was.

Tony was tapping away on a keyboard trying to figure out how to get the job done "His framework's not compatible." He informed Bruce.

"The genetic coding tower's at ninety-seven percent. You have got to upload that schematic in the next three minutes" Bruce replied, trying to give Tony some extra motivation to get it done.

Heavy footsteps were heard as Steve and Clint then made their way into the lab and saw what the scientists were up to with Steve literally putting his foot down on what they were doing.

Rogers was immediately unimpressed by what he saw. He wasn't surprised to see Tony doing his own thing but was surprised to see Bruce helping "I'm gonna say this once."

"How about none-ce?" Tony replied in an lenient fashion.

"Shut it down!" Steve demanded of both Bruce and Tony.

"Nope. Not gonna happen." Tony said, not really taking notice of Steve and continuing to type away on his keyboard.

"You two don't know what you're doing." Barton responded, siding with Steve against activating what was inside that cradle especially given that it was created by Ultron.

"Good thing I'm here then." A familiar voice to the quartet heard as Y/N came into the laboratory of The Avengers Tower.

The four guys were relieved to see the team's resident wisecracking, purveyor of violence no worse for wear.

"Y/N" Steve exhaled, smiling at his friend's presence "I'm glad you're here, we need to shut this down." The super soldier gestured towards the regeneration cradle.

"OR we could not listen to Captain Rulebook and you could help the actual GENIUSES figure this out." Tony countered raising his voice slightly causing Steve to glare at him and Iron Man to return the look.

Y/N flailed his arms about to attract everyone's attention "Alright Shut the fuck up, this shit is not important to me right now."

"What could possibly be more important to you at this moment in time?" Clint queried, not in the mood for Y/N's antics especially given that his best friend was stuck with Ultron.

"This......." Y/N then had inviting arms to what was behind him, revealing nothing.

"Remember the signal."

Y/N then cupped one of his hands over his mouth "CACAW!" He called out and in walked Wanda and Pietro nervously. They certainly felt anxious walking around in a building that they did not feel welcome in. At all.

Their anxiousness was only heightened when the four Avengers made eye contact with them.

As soon as they quartet saw the Maximoffs with Y/N, they group threw their previous argument out of the window and got ready to fight.

Steve readied his shield, Clint had an arrow prepared to fire, Tony got a gauntlet around his hand whereas Bruce, well, he just stepped backwards. He definitely wanted revenge on them but he didn't want a Code Green.

"Wow, you two have got the same reaction than if Hans Landa himself walked in here." Y/N joked towards the teens who seemed less than in the mood for it.

When the loudmouth saw his teammates ready to attack, he pulled out the pistols from out of his thigh holsters and hastily pointed them at his Avenger friends.

"Y/N what are you doing!? Why are they with you!?" Tony yelled at the Merc, irritated that he didn't notify them of their unexpected guests beforehand.

"Alright guys I'm having a REALLY good day and I don't want you lot ruining it so let's put our weapons down and I can explain, I know what I'm doing." Y/N tired to bargain with his Avenger friends but it didn't seem to work.

"Do you?" Bruce asked his friend, showing genuine concern "She's not inside your head."

"I know you're angry." Wanda tried to empathise with Bruce but he was too far gone.

"Oh we're way past that. I could choke the life out of you and never change a shade." Bruce threatened Wanda who then backed away, fearful that he might deliver on that.

"Bruce!" Y/N yelled which turned the eyes of everyone back onto him. Y/N regained a sense of calmness before stating back to the scientist.

"Banner, you're one of my closest friends and I really like you BUT if you or anyone else lays a finger on them then the next wings you see will be the flies buzzing over your rotting corpse."

Now all four men knew exactly what Y/N was like and that he really didn't need much of a reason to start stringing up bodies but they were supposed to be his friends.

Wanda looked to Pietro, surprised that Y/N was fully on their side against people he had known and had been friends with for years.

"Why are you defending them? After all the trouble they've given us." Clint addressed the elephant in the room.

Y/N glanced over his shoulder at either Maximoff who gave him subtle nods of approval. He put down his guns back into their holsters and replied

"Because they're my children."

Silence. Dead Silence.

Everyone's weapons lowered as the shock began to set in at what they'd just heard and you could almost definitely hear a rat piss on cotton.

Steve and Bruce looked at Y/N with wide eyes and their mouths were fully agape. They were frozen in shock as if they'd just stared into the eyes of Medusa with the only thing moving being their eyelids to blink out the disbelief.

Rogers and Banner had known L/N for the longest time so hearing that Y/N was a father was a real shock to the system. However thanks to them knowing him pretty well, they could tell that this was in no way a joke.

Meanwhile, Tony and Clint's minds were really struggling to comprehend what they had just heard, it seemed like everything in their brains short circuiting and if you concentrated hard enough, you would hear the crackling of electricity and you'd see a big 'Error' notification come up.

"Y-you're not joking." Barton stammered, he studied Y/N and the Maximoff's faces to try and pinpoint any sign of untruth however he came up short.

"No, I'm not."

Tony was thinking far less rationally "And you didn't think that it would've been a good idea to mention that." The others sort of had to side with Stark on this one.

"In my defense, I only found out about it like..." He looked at his son and daughter for some aid "Two days ago."

"Yep." Pietro confirmed what Y/N was saying.

"How the hell did this happen?" Steve was thinking out loud. He was well aware of Y/N's playboy kind of lifestyle but still couldn't quite wrap his head around his best friend being a father.

Y/N chuckled softly "Well Stevie, it happens when a man and a woman....." He began to explain however was immediately cut off by Wanda.

"Gross!" Wanda complained in a disgusted manner.

"What!?" Y/N exasperated "You know what sex is right?"

"Yeah but we really DON'T need to know about our conception." Pietro wanted to set that dead straight.

"Oh well at least I know you guys don't have to take any biology classes." Y/N quipped.

"Yeah I know how children our formed Y/N, I meant how did they come about?" Steve tried to clarify to Y/N.

Y/N really didn't know how or why it was relevant "I was friends with their mum back in the nineties, we fucked and BOOM! Twins were created." He gestured to the twins, very much like he was a Price Is Right models showing off prizes.

"But they were with Hydra AND Ultron! How can we trust them?" Stark tried to push, not convinced they were on their side.

"You trust me right?" Y/N asked which seemed to be a pretty critical question given the current circumstances.

Bruce spoke up after a few seconds, feeling he spoke on behalf of everyone "Yeah, we trust you." He was actually really proud of Y/N seeing him step up in this way.

Tony pointed his finger between each Maximoff twin and was teetering between a warning and threatening tone "Alright Y/N we're with you, but if they cause ANY trouble or turn on us then...."

Y/N groaned loudly and held his head in his hands, extremely frustrated that his friends weren't on his side.

"Listen fuckers! They are NOT, I repeat NOT bad kids. Just caught up in a bad situation." Y/N wanted to make as clear as day what the deal with the Maximoffs was.

Pietro furrowed his eyebrows "You know that we're nearly 18." The speedster clearly wasn't too fond of being referred to as a kid but wanted to be seen as an adult.

A Classic kid move really.

Y/N turned to Pietro and gave him a dumbfounded expression "Operative word being 'nearly'." He mocked with a snarky tone before offering up some sound advice "And trust me the second you become an adult, you miss being a kid."

"Now Silencio" Y/N told his son as he waved an imaginary wand in his direction however they did the opposite of what Y/N asked.

The four men looked at each other and seemed to agree silently to trust the Maximoffs......... At least for the time being.

Steve held his hands up in surrender "Sorry Y/N." He then turned his attention to the Maximoffs and looked from one to the other "Apologies Ma'am, Sir."

"Why don't you introduce us?" Steve offered, being the gentleman he was and decided to be old school and formal.

Y/N grinned widely then stepped back and rested an arm on his children's shoulders "Wanda, Pietro. These fucking morons are Steve, Bruce, Clint, Tony and Thor." Y/N introduced them before he realised something.

"Wait, Thor?"

Everyone turned to see Thor had appeared out of nowhere which was an achievement given the man's size and appearance however he had jumped on top of the cradle with Mjolnir in his grasp.

Thor held the Asgardian hammer above his head, conjuring large bolts of blue lightning before slamming it down onto the regeneration cradle to power it up.

"WAIT!!!" Bruce pleaded loudly but it was too late as Thor charged up the cradle with electrical energy to give the final boost to what was inside of it.

There was a brief silence after Thor had
completed his mission which was soon broken by Y/N uttering "Shit on it."

(A/N - I love Friday Night Dinner, British Humour at it's finest. R.I.P Paul Ritter.)

Barely even a second after Y/N had spoken, the lid of the regeneration cradle smashed open which sent Thor off balance and stumbling backwards to the floor along with large shards of broken glass flung about the place erratically.

Everyone fixated their eyes back on the cradle to see a red humanoid like creature with white smoke gliding over it's body, kneeling down on one knee with his right fist touching the end of the cradle.

The group all looked on in wonderment as to what they had just created with Y/N commenting "Well at least they've got the superhero pose locked down." The Merc then helped Thor to back onto his feet.

The red being then shot his head up and began looking around the lab, taking in every detail. They were in their own astonishment as to seeing the world for the first time and it scared the humanoid.

The being locked eyes with Thor then launched itself through the air towards the Asgardian however being the God of Thunder and facing many battles before managed to react quickly and throw the attacker into a window into the next room.

The being then stopped itself mid-flight as it caught a reflection of themselves in the glass of the window which looked out over Manhattan.

Y/N looked over to Wanda and Pietro "You guys alright? You're not hurt or anything?" They gave themselves the once over for any injuries but we're thankfully alright and confirmed this with Y/N.

A few seconds later, Y/N and Steve jumped down first to confront the figure with everyone else following soon after. Y/N landed on the broken glass with crunching sounds being made then turned to Steve "Tony's window repairman must love his job."

"The benefits of being a billionaire." Steve somewhat joked back.

The red humanoid continued to examine itself in the mirror of the glass, just taking everything in. After all, they were really being thrust right into the deep end.

Y/N recognised their lack of clothing and yelled "Hey buddy! Unless you wanna get arrested for indecent exposure you might wanna get away from the window."

The being then looked back at Y/N and also the rest of the Avengers with the figure then phasing into a skintight green suit that covered their whole body accompanied by a yellow or golden cape as he hovered down to the ground to join everyone.

Y/N was standing in front of Wanda and Pietro just in case things went South. He internally cringed and held the bridge of his nose in disapproval with Venom feeling much the same way "For fuck's sake, they've got a cape."

"Sorry that was........ Odd." The male voice began speaking as he looked at Thor "Thank you."

"Thor you helped create this?" Steve asked the Thunder God whilst tentatively approaching the red humanoid, prepared to get his hands dirty if needs be.

"I've had a vision." Thor responds "A whirlpool that sucks in all hope of life and it's centre is that." Thor then pointed directly to the yellow stone in the middle of the red being's forehead.

"What? The gem?" Bruce asks, wanting more clarification.

"It's the-" Thor started but was interrupted by Y/N.

"It's the Mind Stone, one of the six infinity stones." He answered Bruce's question with everyone particularly Thor being a mixture of impressed and surprised of Y/N's knowledge.

"You know what this is?" Thor asks as he continued to point to the Mind Stone.

Y/N nodded as he approached the humanoid to look more carefully at the gem "Yeah, when I was in space I came across one."

Pietro then chipped in with "Hang on, you've been to space?" Sounding excited and interested.

"Yeah, super cool place, I'll tell you about it later." Y/N then returned his attention back to Thor "Me and this guy held the Power Stone in our hands to kill the tyrant wanting to kill everyone. Very Avant-garde if I do say so myself."

Thor's eyes widened to their maximum size as to what he was hearing "You held the Power Stone in your hand!? That should've ripped you apart even with Venom and your healing."

Y/N merely responded by holding his arms out wide, exuding Pride? Arrogance? A little of both? No one could really tell.

"Come Onnnnn Sparkles! I'm Y/N for fuck's sake! I'm like the king of defying the impossible!"

Thor then looked at Y/N and huffed in admiration for his Midgardian friend despite his heightened sense of importance.

Bruce then asked "What exactly are Infinity Stones?" Y/N and Thor's conversation had clearly gone over everyone's heads.

Thor looked to Banner "The greatest power in the universe. Unparalleled in their destructive capabilities."

"Then why would you-" Steve interjected before Thor answered before Cap could finish asking.

"Because Stark is right."

Bruce looked shellshocked "Oh it's definitely the end times."

"The Avengers cannot defeat Ultron."

"I can really feel the team Morale going up." Venom commented making Y/N snicker a bit.

"Not alone." Vision speaks as he began to tread carefully around the group who he could tell were still skeptical of his existence.

"Why does your Vision sound like J.A.R.V.I.S?" Rogers asked out loud, not to anyone in particular.

"We... reconfigured J.A.R.V.I.S' matrix to create something new." Tony answered as he gazed upon what was another of his creations, hoping this turned out better than the last.

"I think i've had my fill of new."

"You think i'm a child of Ultron?"

"You're not?"

Vision shakes his head slightly "I'm not Ultron. I'm not J.A.R.V.I.S. I am........... I am."

"Well thanks for that Darth Maul." Y/N sarcastically told the red being with double thumbs up.

"I looked in your head and saw annihilation." Wanda stated as she stepped towards Vision, still a little traumatised from the premonition that she foresaw in Seoul.

"Look again." Vision invited.

Clint gave Wanda the look of distrust and opened his mouth, just about to make a smartass remark however he caught the watchful eye of Y/N who gave him a head shake.

Clint stepped back and decided to keep his mouth rather than feel the wrath of Y/N which was a smart decision on his end.

"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 added.

"Is it? Are you? On our side?" Cap addressed the elephant in the room.

Vision knew that it was an important question for the Avengers and they were eager to know his answer "I don't think it's that simple."

"Is anything? Really?" Y/N groaned loudly.

Vision looked towards Y/N and nodded "I agree with Mr L/N but I am on the side of life. Ultron isn't, he will end it all."

"What's he waiting for?" Stark wondered out loud causing Vision to look at him.

"You." Vision says to Tony before he looks over to Y/N "And you."

The regenerating Merc threw his hands up in the air "Ultron's like a psycho-ex at this point, I mean it what have I done to him?"

"In his eyes...... Exist." Vision answered truthfully.

Y/N held his chest in pain "Ouch. Well that's just mean."

"Where is Ultron?" Pietro asked.

"Sokovia." Clint informed the group before adding "He's got Nat there too."

"Oh thank god." Y/N proclaimed, breathing out a large puff of air with that particular piece of information bringing a smile to his face which was noted by Bruce along with the twins.

Banner then reverted the attention back to Vision and began to threaten "If we're wrong about you, if you're the monster that Ultron made you to be..."

"What will you do?" He looked around at them all as Venom came out of Y/N's back which even seemed to surprise the red android.

"Then WE will be making a full three course meal out of you." Venom warned Vision of a possible fate that may await him.

Vision could see that Venom was serious about his food and nodded "Understood." the Symbiote made it's way back into Y/N's body with Vision addressing everyone once again "I don't want to kill Ultron. he's unique, and he's in pain. but that pain will roll over the Earth."

Vision then sighed almost in sadness for what had to be done and looked down to the floor as he ambly strolled about "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."

To absolutely everyone's shock and astoundment Vision lifted Mjolnir off of the table with him holding the Asgardian hammer with complete ease just like it was any other regular object.

"What. The. Fuck?" Y/N said with wide eyes and a gaped jaw.

"Language." Steve warned despite in his own head thinking the EXACT same thing but he would never ever admit it.

Thor took the hammer from Vision who then walked off as he waited for everyone else to get themselves prepared for Sokovia.

There was eerie silence as to what everyone has just witnessed which was soon quelled by the familiar chuckling of a certain mercenary.

Y/N pointed in the direction of Vision "I like him! Plus it was about time we had someone on this team who wasn't white."

"You mean 'Who isn't white'?" Tony corrected Y/N's grammar.

"Ooooooooh." Y/N taunt the billionaire in a high pitched tone "Look at you and your white privilege education."

----

As everyone got themselves prepared, Y/N was with his two children and realised that Thor wasn't around when he told everyone the news about his links to the Maximoffs and felt it unfair that he be left out "Sparkles!"

Thor approached Y/N and the Maximoffs "You requested my presence."

Y/N put his hands on both Pietro and Wanda's shoulders "Well there's no easy way to say this but these two."

"Y/N's our father." Wanda hastily answered, wanting to rip the metaphorical bandage off quickly and avoid the big hassle from before.

Thor made an 'O' shape with his mouth as he examined the expressions of the trio but could find no signs of untruthfulness ingrained within them.

"You are Y/N's progeny!?" Thor said in utter shock, using his fancy vocabulary much to the twins' confusion.

Y/N chuckled at the Asgardian's more traditional way of looking at things but told the twins "Ignore him, he's much more sophisticated than me." He then turned his attention to blonde man "You know you could just say children." Y/N tried to correct the God of Thunder.

Thor then eyed the Maximoffs up and down narrowing his eyes as he did it making them feel very uncomfortable. Thor was still agitated about Wanda messing with his mind but he also liked Y/N so figured they couldn't be all bad.

Thor laughed heartily and grabbed Y/N in a powerful yet friendly headlock "It makes sense, troublemakers like this one." His voice boomed at his own declaration.

Wanda scratched her head nervously whilst Pietro twiddled his fingers, both still feeling the guilt of being part of Ultron's plans "Uhh.... I guess." The brunette girl replied.

Thor could see their awkwardness and released his grip on Y/N's head with the Merc gasping for air "Jesus Christ Thor...... you're like if a noose took the form of a man."

Thor ignored Y/N's passing comment and told the Maximoff twins "Lord Y/N has taught me many things of Earthly culture." Praising the Merc for his help in the time that he had known him.

"Lord?" The brother and sister said together.

"Lord Y/N is the superior combatant on this team, just below myself." Thor clarified to the Maximoffs who replied with an 'Ah' of understanding meanwhile Y/N gave Thor a 'Bitch Please' look after the backhanded compliment.

"What are you talking about? I would definitely make you my bitch in a fight." Y/N confidently affirmed.

Thor shook his head profusely "Impossible, you're a worthy combatant Y/N but I am The Mighty Thor!" He said raising Mjolnir in the air above his head.

Y/N and Thor had a silent mini stare down for a few seconds as both thought they were superior than the other in combat.

The two broke their stare down as Wanda and Pietro stood by idly thinking 'What the hell is going on?'.

Despite their slight stare down a few seconds prior, a switch flicked on in the blonde god's head and he wanted to help the Maximoffs understand what Y/N had done for him as far as the integration into Earth culture.

He decided to do a demonstration of one of his favourite things he'd learnt from Y/N and held out his closed hands to the pair.

"I believe we should celebrate this newfound alliance by fisting each other!" He declared cheerfully.

There was a small silent delay after Thor had spoken before Y/N burst into hysteria almost laughing his socks off. Pietro was unable to contain the sniggers that escaped his lips whilst Wanda covered her face, almost dying from second hand embarrassment.

Thor looked at the trio with utter bewilderment unsure of the joke. "I do not understand" He stated out loud, he turned to Y/N "Do your progeny not know of the fisting tradition?"

"Please don't say it again." Wanda muttered into her hands.

Y/N wrapped his arm around the God of Thunder's shoulders and shook him slightly "Ahhh Pikachu, that was a very poor choice of words." Y/N then leaned into Thor's ear and explained what his request actually meant.

The Asgardian's face went to one of horror and disgust "By Odin's beard! Please forgive me for my poor wording."

Pietro pointed at Thor whilst looking at Y/N "You clearly haven't taught him everything."

"I'm not exactly Steven Hawking or Albert Einstein." Y/N quipped back.

Thor stood silent for a few seconds before he offered up his thoughts on the Maximoffs "Well if you two are anything like Y/N then I'm certain you shall make keen allies against Ultron and his forces." The Thunder God then tapped them both on the shoulder before excusing himself to prepare for battle.

Y/N looked at the two Sokovians as Thor brought up something which did ponder on Y/N's mind "That does remind me, have you guys ever been in a like a proper full on physical fight before? A brawl or anything along those lines." Y/N asked his two children.

Wanda and Pietro looked at each other, they were definitely both scared about what was going to go down in their home country as they had never been prepared for anything of this magnitude before.

"Only the ones against you and the rest of the Avengers." Pietro replied.

Y/N thought as much really and nodded his head slightly in understanding, unfortunately it had been a bloody long time since his first fight and he'd had countless since "Well getting hit, it fuckin' hurts."

"That's not very reassuring." Wanda stated with her hands on her hips.

"I never said it would be."

"You know we were tortured by Hydra right?" Pietro reminded Y/N who was all too aware.

"I know but this time you have the chance to avoid the pain." Y/N tried to make the twins aware who realised he had a point.

Y/N then put his index finger in the air "But I'll give you some advice when being in a fight....... just follow the 5 D's."

Pietro scratched his head in confusion "5 D's?"

"Dodge, Duck, Dip, Dive and........... Dodge."

"You said dodge twice." Wanda told Y/N as furrowed her eyebrows, not quite understanding where Y/N was coming from.

Y/N realised that Wanda did have a point but came up with a believable reason to back up his advice "Because you should do twice as much dodging than any of the others."

Neither Wanda or Pietro really had a response to that however Y/N then had a follow up question.

"What about punching? Thrown any punches?" Y/N queried them however he kinda had an idea of the answer "I'm guessing not."

"I mean not to toot my horn" Pietro smirked, letting out small chuckles and holding his hands up "But I have thrown many punches in my life, pretty good ones too." Pietro slightly arrogantly stated.

Wanda scoffed "Please! You used to be terrible on that Boxing Punch Machine game at the arcade, they were in the low hundreds."

"That was when we were kids!" Pietro defended himself against his sister.

"That was the other day."

Y/N snickered at their bickering. Even though it was something he had seen countless times in Movies and TV before, seeing it up close between his own two children was a whole different sensation.

Pietro scoffed at Wanda's behaviour "Well my punches are stronger when I run really, really, really fast."

"Alright Floyd Mayweather, I've got the gist."Y/N decided to step in before it got out of hand, he then reverted his attention to his daughter "What about you Wanda? Ever thrown a punch?"

Wanda looked like a deer in headlights at the question, finding the ground very interesting all of a sudden "Oh.... Uh.... Not really, I've never had to.... Because of my powers " She almost said timidly but she almost seemed embarrassed.

Y/N didn't seem bothered by her admission though as he loudly clapped his hands together "Well, there's always time to learn."

"I don't think that's necessary, I've got my powers."

"Come on!" Y/N tried to encourage her whilst pouting slightly.

Wanda rolled her eyes and finally submitted "Fiiine."

Y/N smiled greatly "Excellent!" He also glanced over to Pietro "What about you Pack-A-Punch?" He teased the silver haired boy.

"I'm very okay with doing nothing at the moment." Pietro quipped as he stood to the side and leaned against the wall "Besides they call me Kick Ass." He then added some random arm movements to try and show off he knew what he was doing which he really didn't.

Y/N and Wanda shook their heads at Pietro's behaviour with Venompool thinking 'The kid definitely takes after me.'

However he was dragged out of his thoughts by Wanda pulling on his forearm causing him to look down at the shorter Sokovian girl "Shall we start?" She asked, she really wanted to get this over and done with.

"Yeah for sure." Y/N assured before he glanced over at Pietro "And YOU, come up with a better superhero name because Kick Ass is very ehhhhhh."

Pietro stopped what he was doing and then started muttering to himself, thinking of a different name to go by. Meanwhile Wanda was getting lessons from Y/N.

Wanda stood about six feet or roughly two meters in front of Y/N "Alright Wanda, now I believe in a physical way of learning. It's how I taught Thor and Steve about the modern world."

"Ok."

"Alright put your fists up, your dominant hand back and your non-dominant hand in front." Y/N advised with the brunette following the instructions with ease.

"Now what?" Wanda asked.

"Hit me."

Wanda looked as if she'd just been asked to commit a crime "I'm sorry?"

"Apology accepted, now hit me." Y/N stepped towards Wanda and awaited the hit from her.

"I see the dad jokes have already begun for you." Venom remarked.

"I'm not going to hit you!" Wanda exasperated, not being a huge fan of violence.

"That's the literally point of learning to punch, so you can hit someone." Pietro tried to make his sister see sense.

Wanda was clearly sceptical about the idea of hitting someone but Y/N was clearly determined "You just want me to hit you?" She stammered. .

Y/N pointed at her "That's right."

"W-well where? In the face? In the arm?"

Y/N gave it an exact second of thinking before giving Wanda a hopeful smile "Surprise me."

Wanda looked over to her brother for his thoughts. The silver haired teen replied "It's not a bad thing knowing how to punch."

With her brother's backing, Wanda began to hype herself up for it internally, she shook out her limbs to loosen up a bit however she muttered under her breath "This is so stupid."

After about 30-45 seconds of quick thinking about what to do, she still looked a little timid about punching someone "Are you sure about this?" Wanda asked one last time for 100% confirmation.

Y/N nodded like a bobblehead "Yes, I'm sure. I've taken it all before so a punch is really nothing."

"Ooooookay." Wanda strained as Y/N offered one last piece of advice.

"Don't think too much about it." He then looked at Pietro as well "Goes for both of you. Don't think. Just do........ That's not a tip, that's a fuckin' prescription."

Wanda and Pietro listened to what Y/N was saying and took it on board for the future. With all that in place Wanda then stepped to Y/N, not thinking but instead acting and with a surprising amount of power punched him in the side of the head.

Y/N held his ear in pain as he waddled backwards "Motherfucker!" He complained then looked to Wanda who had a little bit of pride painted on her face "You hit me in the ear!"

Pietro was clapping his sister to the side, whilst laughing "WHOO! Good job Wands. Nice hit." He praised his younger twin before cupping his hands over his mouth to whoop a few more times.

"You told me to hit you!" She fired back.

Y/N nodded as he rubbed his ear to numb the pain "Yeah, I did say that." In an act of surprise and testing, Y/N then threw a quick jab towards Wanda's face.

However the Sokovian brunette heeded one of Y/N's previous pieces of advice and ducked underneath the incoming fist letting out a small squeal in the process.

Y/N had a proud smile on his face that Wanda had listened to what he had told her and her brother before so held out a hand to her "Not too shabby little witch." Y/N said as he got Wanda to stand up straight.

"T-thanks, I think." Wanda stuttered slightly questioning the compliment but taking reprieve in the nice nickname.

----

For a short period of time, everyone got all the equipment and apparatus they needed for the fight in Sokovia.

Y/N had eaten some raw and bloody food that Stark had in his gigantic fridge to make sure that himself and Venom were well fed which really satisfied the vampirism that was coursing through Y/N veins.

"This vampirism is bloody good for the ol' appetite." Venom said as he filled himself up on some red steak.

"Ha Puns! And you said I'm the one whose picking up dad jokes."

"Me and my mouth." Venom muffled with cheeks very much resembling that of a hamster.

Tony loaded up a new Artificial Intelligence which was coined 'F.R.I.D.A.Y' who had a strong Irish female voice, once she was operating she said her first words "Good Evening boss."

Thor and Vision were chatting amongst themselves on the balcony looking out over Manhattan as the soft, gentle breeze let their capes ripple slightly.

Clint was busy placing as many regular and specialised arrows as he could into his quiver before smiling lovingly at a picture of his pregnant wife and his two children which he placed into his breast pocket.

Steve was admiring his shield thinking deeply about what it represented, how it was a symbol of protection rather than punishment and how that was really going to be put to the test.

Pietro had changed from his casual clothes and instead out on a tight fitting blue and grey nylon shirt whilst also donning some new Adidas trainers whilst Wanda had found a stylish, scarlet coloured leather jacket which fit over her slim figure like a glove.

Not long after, everyone had got onto the Quinjet with Y/N sitting in the middle of Wanda and Pietro. Soon the Avengers new and old began the flight to Sokovia when Cap stood up in front everyone.

Y/N leaned over and whispered to the twins "It's kinda Cap's calling card to make a big, dramatic pre-battle speech."

"I thought you were the talker." The speedster whispered back.

"About 95% of the time."

A few seconds later, Cap began his usual speech "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."

"Kinda obvious really." Venom said as everyone else listened intently to Steve.

"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." He glanced down at his shield before continuing "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."

Y/N made a cringed expression and tilted his head to the side "Ehhhhhh, I mean it's kinda about beating Ultron as well."

Steve gave Y/N an annoyed and shook his head to the side "L/N, you're a man of many words. Would you like to add anything?" He questioned before sitting back in his seat.

Y/N stood up from his seat and walked to the front of the Quinjet and stood in front of everyone.

"Tupac's 'All Eyez On Me' seems pretty relevant right now." Venom commented which made Y/N snicker.

"I dunno what you really want from me, some Lord Farquaad type inspiration perhaps." Y/N then channeled his inner King of Duloc "The whole, 'Some of you may die but that's a sacrifice I'm willing to make'."

There was some silence for a few seconds as Wanda and Pietro were really experiencing the whole legend of Venompool for the first time and it certainly didn't disappoint.

"Yeahhhhhhh, maybe something a bit more uplifting." Bruce suggested.

"I actually like Shrek so I feel pretty uplifted." Tony argued back and grinned widely as he relaxed, feeling pretty motivated for what was to come. "Mike Myers finest work."

Y/N scoffed at Tony's declaration "What about Austin Powers or Wayne's World or even......... The Cat In The Hat." Y/N sarcastically said the last one, because anyone who'd seen the live action version of the Dr Seuss book knew how utterly horrible it was.

Tony's facial went to one of complete deadpan "I know you're joking but the fact that those words have come out of your mouth makes me question our friendship."

Clint did a full body shudder "Jeez Laura and I watched that film and we made a vow never to let the kids watch it. That film gave me more nightmares than any horror film I've ever seen."

Y/N and Tony snorted at Clint's expense with the former taunting the archer "You pussy."

Whilst Y/N, Tony and Clint discussed the horrific film with Thor and Vision wondering what the purpose was for cats wearing hats.

Steve leaned towards the twins and whispered "As idiotic as Y/N can be at some times, he's got a real knack for the casual conversation to take your mind off things."

"Sounds like any drug ever created." Pietro quipped before snickering, earning a hard smack in the arm from Wanda.

"OW!" Pietro exclaimed.

Wanda shook her head in disapproval "You deserved it."

"Lord Y/N please offer more words of wisdom for the great battle that awaits us." Thor thrusted his fist into the air, eager for more inspiration.

Y/N tapped his foot on the floor in a rhythmic 1-2 beat and put his fingers under his chin and hummed loudly. Trying to think of something that may be helpful which then came to him.

"EUREKA!!" Y/N's face lit up like a Christmas tree as he was going to put his own unique spin on the 'classic' pre-battle speech.

"Ultron is a right hostile fucker and we don't know exactly what we're up against. SO if Little Red Riding Hood comes out with a bazooka and a bad attitude, you and I are gonna chin the bitch." Y/N determinedly stated as he thought about the utter ass whooping he was gonna deliver Ultron's way.

"Do you make a habit of besmirching children's fairy tales?" Wanda asked with a curious expression.

"I 'besmirch' most things with my filth so short answer...... Yes." Y/N replied, looking really proud of himself.

"He really does."

"You get used to it."

"Lord Y/N has a unique outlook on terrible situations."

"It's basically one of his powers."

After Wanda's question had been answered by Y/N and confirmed by all of the Avengers themselves, she just raised her eyebrows once. However, it was interesting for both her and Pietro to see the weird side that Y/N had to him.

Y/N then pulled out his phone then went onto Spotify to pick some music "I'm gonna put on my Kick So Much Ass That There's None Left Playlist for a bit of a pick-me-up. I'll let the music do the inspiring."

"That's your playlist?" Pietro asked Y/N huffing slightly in amusement at the name. Venompool didn't respond and instead showed Pietro his phone screen.

"Oh it really is called that." Pietro confirmed which earned a shrug of the shoulders from Bruce.

"Old habits die hard." Bruce told the silver haired teen. Y/N then began put the playlist on with the first song really getting Y/N in particular in the mood for an ass whooping.

(A/N - This man has made so many certified bangers and his death genuinely upsets me. R.I.P DMX.)

Steve was not a huge fan of the song mainly because of the several racial terms and large amount of profanity "Y/N can't we put on something a bit more relaxing or mellow."

Y/N narrowed his eyes at Steve "Is there something wrong with your tongue?" He queried his former roommate.

Cap was befuddled by the question "What?"

"Well CLEARLY you have no taste." Y/N overdramatically stated earning a few chuckles from the people on the plane.

Steve looked unimpressed by the claim "Hey! I have taste, I'm just saying it's not for me."

Venom came out of Y/N's back to defend the song choice "Come on Mr Red, White and Blue! The song is very inspirational for what we're gonna do to Ultron."

"And what's that?" Steve pried further.

Y/N took over from his symbiote to answer "Well, like the legend DMX himself says....." Y/N then folded his arms into a X shape, taking a little inspiration from his Wakandan friends.

"X Gon' Give it To Ya"

----------------------------------------------------------

The hardest chapter I've had to write. The struggle to get it right was strong and I'm not 100% I did but I hope you enjoyed it anyways.

Next is the Battle Of Sokovia. Y/N's really starting to connect with the Maximoffs. but question is:

Will both of the twins live to connect further with Y/N?
