ACT ONE ━━━ CHAPTER TWO,
❝ he's fast, she's weird, and she's violet
from 'the incredibles' ❞

𝓜aria Hill entered the Quinjet where Tony and Steve were still in as they landed a few moments ago and the rest already went out of the jet.

"Lab's all set up, boss." She said Tony who turned around in his seat to face her.

"Oh, actually, he's the boss." Tony pointed at Steve who was seated on the ground, glancing at him when the Stark spoke up. "I just pay for everything and design everything and make everyone look cooler."

Steve stood up from his spot and turned to Maria, "What's the word on Strucker?"

"NATO's got him," Maria replied.

"The three Enhanced?" Steve questioned, still thinking about the brunette beauty who invaded his privacy and looked through his memories.

Maria showed him her tablet that she brought, "Wanda, Lucrecia, and Pietro Maximoff. Triplets."

Maria gave Steve the tablet and turned it horizontally, the screen showed the three of them joining a riot of some sort. "Orphaned at 10 when a shell collapsed their apartment building." Maria swiped the screen and showed Steve the siblings' collapsed apartment building.

The two of them started to leave the jet, "Sokovia's had a rough history." Maria informed him. "It's nowhere special, but it's on the way to everywhere special."

"Their abilities?" Steve asked the agent as they walked through the halls.

"He's got increased metabolism and improved thermal homeostasis. Her thing is neuroelectric interfacing, telekinesis, mental manipulation. The other one's thing is force field generation, invisibility, mind compulsion, and dream manipulation."

By the end, Steve had a confused face, not understanding what the hell the woman infront of him just told him. Maria saw Steve's confused expression and summed it up for him, "He's fast, she's weird, and she's Violet from 'the Incredibles'."

Steve nodded even if he didn't know what she was talking about with the last one, he didn't have much time to watch every movie and show that was newly released.

"Well, they're gonna show up again."

"Agreed. File says they volunteered for Strucker's experiments. It's nuts."

Steve went inside the elevator and pressed a button, "Right. What kind of monster would let a German scientist experiment on them to protect their country?" You, Steve.

Maria tilted her head, "We're not at war, Captain."

Steve raised his eyebrows, "They are." He said as the elevator doors closed.

          𝓛ucrecia Maximoff and her siblings walked up to a Church that they used to attend as children when their parents were still alive. The three of them were exploring the city when a child came up to them and told them that an iron man wanted them to head to the Church, the siblings immediately thought of Tony Stark and began to head to the location.

The trio went inside to see a figure sitting on a chair in the middle of the room. They couldn't see the person since it was dark and it wasn't looking at them.

"Talk, and if you are wasting our time-" Wanda demanded but got cut off by the mystery person.

"Did you know this church is in the exact center of the city? The elders decreed it so that everyone could equally close to God." The person said which made the Maximoff's tilt their heads. Wanda walked towards the figure while Pietro and Lucrecia stood beside eachother, behind Wanda.

"I like that. The geometry of belief. You're wondering why you can't look inside my head." He pointed out. Wanda was, in fact, trying to read his mind and see what he wanted with them.

Her eyes glowed scarlet red, "Sometimes it's hard. But sooner or later, every man shows himself." She responded as Lucrecia started to go beside her. Just as Wanda finished talking, the mystery man stood up and removed the cloth that was covering him.

"Oh, I'm sure they do." It revealed a tall robot man with glowing red eyes, Wanda stepped back in shock and pulled Lucrecia's arm so that she would be behind her and infront of Pietro. "But you needed something more than a man."

The robot started to walk towards them, the siblings all looked at him with their mouths agape.

"That's why you let Stark take the scepter." He said directly to Wanda as he stood infront of the young girl. Lucrecia's hands flexed as she placed an invisible barrier around her sister for safety, the robot guy was atleast twice the size of her.

"I didn't expect, but I saw Stark's fear. I knew it would control him. Make him self-destruct." Wanda looked up at his tall figure. Lucrecia felt what her older sister was feeling, all of them had a magical connection, Wanda seemed fascinated by the robot whose name they don't even know yet.

"Everyone creates the thing they dread. Men of peace create engines of war. Invaders create Avengers. People create . . ." He struggled in finding the correct words. "smaller people? Uh . . ."

Lucrecia chuckled softly, "Children." she said for him as she crossed her arms.

"Yes, children. I lost the word, there. Thank you." He laughed, Lucrecia just nodded curtly in response.

Pietro stepped closer to his sisters, tilting his head at the robot. "Children designed to supplant them, to help them end."

"Is that why you've come, to end the Avengers?" Wanda questioned, taking a step forward. Lucrecia had to refrain from making her sister stay still with her powers, it was very annoying.

The robot man looked back at the three of them sharply, "I've come to save the world. But also... Yeah." He shrugged, walking away.

Lucrecia frowned and looked at her siblings, all of them glanced at eachother, waiting for an order from either one of them. Pietro shook his head lightly, "Do we follow him or . . . ?"

The sisters exchanged looks and looked back at their older brother, both of them shrugged and followed after the robot guy. Pietro stayed there for a while, debating if it was a good idea or not. He realized that he couldn't just leave his sisters with a robot man that was twice their size, the oldest triplet groaned and followed where the robot guy and his sisters went.

"Клянусь, однажды их убьют." He mumbled in Russian. [Translation: They're going to get killed one day, I swear.]

"𝓦e'll move out right away. This is a start, but there's something we need to begin the real work." The robot man said as they entered the room where the triplet's watched Tony Stark get the scepter.

The robot guy — whose name is still unknown to the three of them — brought them back to the HYDRA base in Sokovia, he seemed to be having his lair at this location.

The trio saw a bunch of robots that looked like the original robot guy walking around and doing stuff, "All of these are . . ." Wanda trailed off, waiting for him to answer.

"Me."

Lucrecia narrowed her eyes at the place, he seemed to have got everything all set up already. "I have what the Avengers never will. Harmony." He floated up in the air and pulled on a chain. "They're discordant. Disconnected. Stark's already got them turning on eachother. And when you get inside the rest of their heads-"

He got cut off by Pietro who pulled on the side of his mouth, "Everyone's plan is not to kill them."

"And make them martyrs?" He floated in front of the triplets. "You need patience. Need to see the big picture."

"Patience is bullshit," Lucrecia deadpanned, her accent coming out strong.

The robot man's attention turned to her and his robotic mouth formed into a smirk, "Patience is key. You need it, it's important when creating an army and winning a battle."

Lucrecia didn't answer, she just lifted an eyebrow and titled her head.

Pietro decided to take this time to interject, "I don't see the big picture. I have a little picture." His words caught the attention of the two girls beside him, "I take it out and look at it, every day." He said, referring to a small picture that he kept of their parents.

Lucrecia looked down at the ground, her parents were always a sore topic for her.

"You lost your parents in the bombings. I've seen the records."

"The records are not the picture." Pietro snapped.

"Pietro," Wanda and Lucrecia warned him but the robot guy spoke up before any of the sisters could say more.

"No, please."

Pietro looked at his two sisters and started telling the story of the day their parents died and they survived. "We were 10 years old. Having dinner, the five of us. When the first shell hits, two floors below, it makes a hole in the floor. It's big. Our parents go in and the whole building starts coming apart."

Lucrecia grabbed Pietro's arm, silently telling him to stop but he just ignored her and kept talking. "I grab them, roll under the bed, and the second shell hits. But it doesn't go off. It just sits there in the rubble. Three feet from our faces."

"And on the side of the shell is painted one word." This time it's Lucrecia who adds only for Wanda to answer.

"Stark."

"We were trapped for two days under his bed. Desperately waiting for someone to save us, but no. No one went to look for us until two days after." Lucrecia said, looking at the robot man.

"Every effort to save us, every shift in the bricks, I think, "This will set it off." We wait for two days for Tony Stark to kill us." Wanda adds to her younger sister's comment.

Pietro nods, "I know what they are."

The robot man — God, he really needs to tell them his name — stayed silent for a while, taking in their sob story. "I wondered why only you three survived Stucker's experiments. Now I don't. We will make it right. You and I can hurt them." He went closer to Wanda and placed his iron hand on her face but not actually touching it, about an inch away from her skin, and caressing her cheek.

"But you will tear them apart from the inside."

The robot man backed away and looked at the three of them, none of them saving a word. Lucrecia took this time to ask what his name is since she didn't want to refer to him as "robot man", "You never told us your name, mister robot man."

Her siblings nodded in agreement and looked at the robot. He smiled at her.

"Ultron."
