Victoria helped Pietro up, then pulled herself up the railing with the shadows.

Pietro steadied himself but Steve came up and tapped him with his shield, "Stay down kid."

"Oh no you didn't." Victoria said.

The shadows came from her fingertips, forming into another rope, pulling Steve back.

"Stay down kid." Rose repeated.

Victoria ran back over to where Wanda and Ultron were standing, "It's time for some mind games." He told them.

Wanda and Rose disappeared into the hallway, finding their first victim, Thor Odinson.

Victoria put a shadow on the wall, distracting him while Wanda put his fear in his head.

Wanda and Victoria walked off, over to where Steve and Pietro were.

"Thor, status." Steve checked in.

"The girl tried to warp my mind." He knocks a robot down, "Take special care. I doubt a human could keep her at bay. Fortunately, I am mighty."

Pietro ran into Steve, knocking him down. That gave Wanda a perfect opening to put Steve's fear of his head. Then Victoria put a shadow on the walls.

They then ran off, putting fears in different Avengers' heads.

After Natasha, they went to Clint. He put an arrow on Wanda's forehead.

Victoria pulled Clint with her shadows, and Pietro ran and pushed him through the glass.

Pietro picked his sister up and ran.

Victoria stayed back for a second, "I'm sorry." She told the Avenger.

She ran out to where Pietro and Wanda were sitting.

"What can I do?" Pietro asked his twin.

Wanda groans, "It hurts." She looks up, "Where's Rose?" 

"I'm right here, love." Victoria said, sliding into the mud. "Are you okay?" She cupped her cheek.

She groans again, "I'm going to kill him."

"I'll be right back." Pietro says, trying to get up.

"No. I'm all right." She breaths heavy, "I want.." She looks over at the jet, "..I want to finish the plan. I want the big one."

Wanda messes with Bruce's mind, making him fight Tony—scaring the entire city.

Victoria didn't like this, not one bit..but she loved the twins, they were like her children. And she wanted to see her brother. So she'd do anything to have that privilege.

U-GIN GENETICS RESEARCH LAB

Helen enters her lab, "Scream, and your entire staff dies." Ultron told her. "I could've killed you, Helen, the night we met. I didn't."

"Do you expect a thank you note?" Helen asked sarcastically.

"I expect you to know why." He stepped towards The Cradle.

She looks to where Ultron was looking, "The Cradle." She mutters.

Ultron puts his hand on The Cradle, "This is the next me."

"The Regeneration Cradle prints tissue. It can't build a living body." Her eyes follow him as he steps closer to her.

"It can. You can." He walks closer to her, as she steps back, "You lack the materials. You're a brilliant woman, Helen." Helen turns around, seeing one of Ultron's robots holding Loki's scepter, "But we all have room to improve." The robot taps the scepter against her heart, taking over her body.

The Cradle opens, showing a body being built, "It's beautiful." Helen admires, "The vibranium atoms aren't just compatible with the tissue cells, they're binding them. And SHIELD never thought to.."

"The most versatile substance on the planet, and they used it to make a Frisbee. Typical of humans. They scratch the surface and never think..to look within."

Within another hour, the body begins to form, "Cellular cohesion will take a few hours, but we can initiate the conscious stream. We're uploading your cerebral matrix now."

"I can read him." Wanda mutters.

The twins, plus Victoria, were now it the lab with Dr. Cho and Ultron.

"He's dreaming." Wanda continued.

"I wouldn't call it dreams." Helen told her, "It's Ultron's base consciousness. Informational noise. Soon.."

"How soon?" Ultron cut her off. "I'm not being pushy." He assured her.

"We're imprinting a physical brain. There are no shortcuts. Even if your magic gem.."

Wanda reads the body's mind, seeing the world being destroyed by a comet—or something—flying down onto the world.

Wanda gasps, her hand on her head, "Wanda." Vic whispered, making Pietro come over, they both hold her as she catches her breath.

"How could you?" She asked, shaken up.

"How could I what?" He asked, as if he didn't know what she saw.

"You said we would destroy the Avengers, make a better world." She cried as Victoria rubs her back.

"It will be better." He told them.

"When everyone is dead?" She asked, stepping back slightly.

"That is not..the human race will have every opportunity to improve."

"And if they don't?" Victoria asked, her accent deep.

"Ask Noah."

Wanda shook her head, "You are a madman."

"There were more than a dozen extinction-level events before even the dinosaurs got theirs. When the earth starts to settle, God throws a stone at it. And, believe me, he's winding up. We have to evolve. There's no room for the weak." He tells them, leaning down to touch The Cradle.

"And who decides who's weak?" Pietro asks, distracting Ultron as Wanda sends a source of energy towards Helen, making her remember what's going on.

"Life." Ultron replies, chuckling. "Life always decides." He looks over to a screen, "There's incoming."

The three of them hug, "It's going to be okay." Victoria whispered. "We're gonna get out, I promise."

"The Quinjet. We have to move." Ultron tells them.

"That's not a problem." Helen walks up to The Cradle, pausing the upload.

He sighs, annoyed, and blasts Helen, sending her across the lab.

Pietro grabs Wanda and Victoria, running out of the room—and the building.

"Guys— wait, guys!" Ultron stammers.

Pietro took them somewhere in the town, watching the news. They all look at each other.

"What's the plan?" Rose asked the twins.

"We were going to ask you." Pietro said.

"I thought you guys were in charge, I'm doing this for you." She told them.

"We're going to get you to your brother." Wanda told her as they both hug Victoria.

"I love you guys..no matter what happens." Rose cries. "Remember that. In case something bad happens to me."
