ACT ONE ━━━ CHAPTER SEVEN,
❝ all thanks to you ❞

          𝓛ucrecia Maximoff and Steve Rogers arrived in the middle of the island, where the core that had a key and everyone else was.

Pietro sped to Wanda when she entered the structure and Lucrecia teleported infront of her and beside the male triplet.

"Are you good?"

"Yeah."

Lucrecia took her siblings' hands and squeezed them. She didn't want to lose one of them, much worse both. She knew that she was nothing without her siblings, a part of her would be missing if one of them were gone. She didn't know how she would act if she was the only one left, she would become deranged.

Pietro hugged both of his sisters tightly, scared that one of them may disappear out of thin air at any moment. "Remember our plan." He whispered quietly so that no one but the three of them could hear.

When the triplets pulled away from the hug, the three of them turned to see Natasha arriving, but no sign of Bruce yet.

"What's the drill?" Nat asked, panting.

Tony pointed to the machine in the middle of the church, "This is the drill. If Ultron gets a hand on the core, we lose." Just as he said that Bruce in Hulk form finally appeared.

All of them faced where Hulk had just entered from as Ultron started to lower down to the ground. "Is that the best you can do?" Thor yelled.

Ultron lifted his hand up just as a shit ton of robot mini-me's of himself emerged from behind him.

Lucrecia's mouth parted slightly at the sight of the hundreds of robots. Steve huffed, "You had to ask."

"This is the best I can do," Ultron answered, extending his arms like an eagle. "This is exactly what I wanted. All of you against all of me. How can you possibly hope to stop me?"

"Well, like the old man said . . ." Tony glanced at Steve, "Together."

Hulk roared and the robots started to charge at them.

All of them immediately started to fight each and every robot, Lucrecia tore and blew up the robots with her powers and sometimes compelled them to fight eachother.

Lucrecia blasted at a robot that was choking Steve, the robot turning into dust. As more and more robots came, Lucrecia grew more stressed.

She has never been in a fight this intense, the most people she's fought at the same time was about 50 and there were more than a hundred robots, possibly even half a thousand.

The fight scene was truly epic, all of them defeating the robots and winning.

Lucrecia glanced at everyone who was too busy fighting the robots that they didn't see a bunch of them heading towards the core. She floated up in the air with her powers, right on top of the core before dropping down to the ground as a large force field came from her and extended about 20 feet from the church.

The force field made the robots either melt or light up on fire, every single one of them dead on the ground. Everyone looked at the girl in shock as the floor was covered in bright violet mists, all coming from her.

"Since when could you be able to do that, Maximoff?"

Lucrecia just looked at Tony and shrugged, a small smirk on her face. Steve looked at her with a proud look, as did her siblings.

Ultron was somehow able to enter without dying because of his vibranium self, he launched himself into Vision and threw him to the wall which caused a crack. Vision struck at him which made Ultron fly out of the building and outside where Tony, Thor, and Vision all blasted him with their lasers/lighting.

After Hulk punched Ultron as he went flying far, far away, all the attention was on Steve. "We gotta move out. Even I can tell the air is getting thin. You guys get to the boats. I'll sweep for stragglers. Be right behind you." The American hero ordered.

"What about the core?"

"I'll protect it," Wanda announced which got a shocked look from Clint and a worried one from her siblings. "It's my job."

Clint nodded and left with Nat, Steve went the other way but not before glancing at Lucrecia who was walking up to her sister.

Pietro sped inside just as Lucrecia opened her mouth to talk, "Wanda, you can't!"

Wanda looked at her sister with determination, "I have to, Lu. I'm sorry but you can't stop me." She told Lucrecia and then looked at Pietro, "Get the people on the boats."

"We're not going to leave you here," Pietro shook his head.

"I can handle this," Wanda denied, blasting a robot that was heading towards the trio.

Pietro and Lucrecia nodded their heads at the robot, impressed. "Come back for me when everyone else is off. Not before. Lucrecia, you go with him."

Wanda's orders made both of them grunt in annoyance, "You understand?"

Pietro turned to face his younger sister with a lopsided smile, "You know, I'm 12 minutes older than you." He pointed out which got a chuckle from both his sisters.

"Go."

Pietro nods and speeds away, leaving Lucrecia with Wanda. "What are you waiting for? Go, now!"

"Promise me that you'll be able to handle this all by yourself."

Wanda turned to her and gave her a loving smile, "I promise."

Those were the only words that Lucrecia wanted to hear.

Those two words; "I promise"

But how can it be a three-way-promise if one of them breaks it?

Wanda sighed when Lucrecia left. Wanda loved her siblings with all of her heart just as they did and if she doubts herself and ends up failing, she wouldn't be able to forgive herself. Ever.

          𝓛ucrecia was with Steve and Thor when she suddenly felt like something wrong was going to happen. Steve saw how her face turned to discomfort and held her hand which made the Maximoff girl look at him.

"Hey. What's wrong?"

Lucrecia shook her head, she didn't actually know why she was feeling like this. "I don't know."

Steve furrowed his eyebrows at her answer. Thor heard their conversation since he was literally right infront of the duo, "Lady Lucrecia, what is the matter?"

Lucrecia glanced at Thor, "I think-"

Her words were cut off when bullets were being fired from a Quinjet. Steve quickly took her and went to use his shield to protect the two of them but Lucrecia was faster and placed a barrier around the two of them and Thor.

Just as the firing stopped, Lucrecia let out a painful cry which caused the barrier to lift.

Steve and Thor looked at her, the two boys glanced at eachother before asking her, "What's wrong? What happened?"

Lucrecia didn't answer, instead she ran away with tears going down her eyes like a waterfall. The two men were quick to follow her, stopping when they saw her on the ground as she shook a bloody Pietro with multiple gun holes on his body.

Lucrecia shook him, desperately trying to "wake him up" but he didn't open his eyes.

"No . . . no, no, no, no. Pietro, wake up! Wake up! Please . . ." She sobbed as she flipped him on his back rather than his front. Wanda, in the church, felt him die as she let out a scream and fell to the ground.

Clint placed the kid he was holding on the ground and kneeled beside Pietro and Lucrecia. Clint went to touch her shoulder but quickly moved his hand away and hissed, his hand burned when he touched her.

Clint and Steve looked back at the siblings only to see a violet force field around the two of them. Lucrecia had tears going down her eyes like a car on a race track, she was sobbing like crazy.

Steve didn't know how to comfort her since he couldn't even touch her.

Suddenly, Lucrecia and Pietro's bodies started to lift into the air, the protective bubble still surrounding them. Steve, Clint, and Thor all watched it with confusion laced on their faces.

"You promised," Lucrecia whispered, her voice cracking.

The three of them only heard her say two words before a bright light blinded them. They covered their faces with their arms, peeking to see Lucrecia with her upper body bent to the back as a bright glow of violet mist came from her chest and to Pietro's.

A straight violet wave surrounded the whole island, Steve could hear Lucrecia's scream from below. By now, all of the attention was on the two figures floating in the sky, everyone watched them with their mouths wide open.

Wanda Maximoff stepped outside the church to see what was happening, the scarlet witch covered her mouth with her hand at the sight.

Lucrecia's energy was dying down more and more as she kept going, she paced her opened palms at her brother's body and more violet blasts of energy came out of it.

It wasn't long until the mist disappeared and was replaced with millions of violet particles falling from the sky. Lucrecia's body went limp as the force field lifted and her and Pietro's body fell to the ground, Steve caught her before she could hit the ground. He looked at where Pietro fell and sighed in relief when a force field was placed under him so he was floating about a foot from the ground.

Clint looked at Lucrecia's unconscious body and then to Pietro, Clint placed his head on top of Pietro's chest as his eyes grew wide. He lifted his head to look at Pietro with a look of disbelief on his face, he couldn't believe what he just heard.

Steve adjusted Lucrecia in his arms in a more comfortable style before he looked at Clint, "What is it, Barton?"

Clint slowly looked up at Steve with his mouth parted in pure shock as he glanced at the woman in Steve's arms. "She . . . She brought him back to life." He finally answered.

Steve frowned and stepped forward to look at Pietro more closely, his eyes narrowed as he studies the boy that was apparently alive. He let out a surprised gasp when Pietro's chest started to move, he was breathing. He was alive.

Pietro Maximoff was alive.

And it was all thanks to his powerful sister.

"Impossible," Steve muttered, looking at the woman in his arms with an astonished look on his face.

Thor stepped closer to the trio, "We should load them up."

Steve nodded as Clint went to pick up Pietro's body, the two of them headed towards the helicarrier. Clint dropped Pietro's unconscious body on the three seats, he then laid down on the three seats across from the male Maximoff. Steve gently placed Lucrecia on the seats beside Pietro and sat beside her with their hands connected.

Steve brought their connected hands near his face and kissed her knuckles before kissing her forehead.

"It's been a long day."

          𝓛ucrecia Maximoff woke up with a groan. Steve, who was seated in a chair beside her hospital bed, lifted his head up when she started to wake up.

"Hey," Steve said softly, Lucrecia slowly opened her eyes and smiled when she saw who it was.

"Hey," She replied groggily, her throat dry. Steve smiled at the sound of her voice.

"How are you feeling?"

Lucrecia glanced around the room, "Where am I? Where are my siblings?" She questioned before her heart dropped. Just like that, everything that happened flashed through her mind.

Steve took a deep breath, "Lu, do you remember anything?"

"Yes. I remember that I was with you and Thor when shots were fired and it felt like someone ripped my heart out . . . Oh my God, Pietro-" She started to panic, she sat up but before she could run out of there, Steve stopped her.

"Calm down, Lu. Yes, Pietro is uh . . ." Steve scratched the back of his head, not knowing how to tell her that her brother died but he came back to life.

Lucrecia narrowed her eyes at him as her eyes glowed violet, "Tell me, Steve."

"Pietro is fine-" Lucrecia sighed in relief, "but there's something you should know."

Lucrecia's head snapped back to him as she tilted her head in confusion. She gestured for him to explain and he sat back down on the chair, she sat on the edge of the hospital bed and faced him.

"You're right, you were with me and Thor when the shots were fired. Pietro . . . he, uh, jumped infront of Clint who was carrying a kid and he got shot multiple times, Pietro died." Lucrecia took a sharp breath, she would've guessed that was the end but it didn't seem like it.

Steve continued, "You . . . How do I say this? Lucrecia, you used your powers to somehow bring him back to life."

By the end, Lucrecia was looking at him with a blank face before she laughed which greatly confused Steve. "Really, Steve? You're telling me that my brother died and I, of all people, brought him back to life?" Steve nodded and she laughed even more. "You seriously expect me to believe that?"

Before Steve could reply, the door opened which made both of their heads snap to the door. Wanda walked inside the room with a dejected look on her face, the poor girl had heavy eye bags under her eyes and her eyes were red; she looked like she had cried for hours and she did.

When her head lifted to look at her sister, a huge smile broke out on her lips. Wanda ran to Lucrecia and hugged her tightly, Lucrecia laughed softly and returned the hug. Steve stepped back, giving them their moment.

Wanda pulled away and cupped her sister's cheeks, tears going down her rosy cheeks. "I can't believe it. You're awake!"

Lucrecia furrowed her eyebrows, "How long have I been out?"

"About two weeks. Pietro would be so hap-"

"Wait, what?" Lucrecia cut her off. "Is- Is Pietro actually alive? Did I actually bring him back to life? Wanda, tell me."

Wanda glanced at Steve before looking back at her sister with a smile, "It's true, Lu. Etro's alive."

Lucrecia stared at her sister for a moment before a big smile formed on her lips. She closed her eyes and a single tear fell down her cheek as someone wiped it off, but it wasn't Wanda nor was it Steve.

She opened her eyes and looked at the person infront of her in disbelief, "Etro . . ."

Pietro nodded and hugged her, "It's me, Lu. I'm alive and it's all thanks to you."

Lucrecia laughed happily as Wanda joined the hug. Steve looked at the siblings with a smile on his face, the scene was truly heartwarming.

Pietro looked at Steve with a playful smirk on his face which made Steve scoff playfully and raised his hands up in defense, backing up as he chuckled. Pietro, Wanda, and Steve had gone pretty close when Lucrecia was in a coma.

Wanda used her telekinesis to drag Steve to the three of them, Pietro took Steve and made him join the hug. Being trapped, Steve did nothing but cooperate. Lucrecia and Wanda giggled which brought a smile to the two boys' faces.

Broken promises can lead to tears but a joyful reunion can result in a happy smile.

          𝓣he triplets were huddled up together as they all looked at the phone screen, the screen showed a baby with a shirt that said 'Nathaniel Pietro Barton'.

They were currently in a call with Clint and his wife had recently given birth. Pietro smiled brightly when he saw that Clint named his son after him as a thank you for sacrificing his life for Clint.

"So . . . what do you think?" Clint's voice asked through the other side of the call.

Before the sisters could reply, Pietro beat them to it. "I love it. Nice choice, especially the second name."

They could hear Clint's laugh at Pietro's comment, "Yeah, well . . . I was inspired by someone who sacrificed something very valuable for me."

Wanda smiled at the camera, "Thank you, Barton. We, especially Pietro, appreciate it." Lucrecia nodded in agreement.

The camera moved from the baby to Clint's face, he held a guilty expression. "Listen, uh . . . I'm sorry for everything I did. You know, shooting you and stuff." He apologized to Lucrecia who just sent him a soft smile.

"All is forgiven, Barton. Don't worry."

Clint smiled awkwardly before waving, "I better get going. Take care, you three!"

The three of them said their goodbyes before ending the call. By the end of it, Pietro had a smug smirk on his face. The two girls rolled their eyes at him and flew away to the main room where three people were already in.

Lucrecia and Wanda Maximoff landed on the ground with their powers while Pietro Maximoff sped in between his sisters as the three of them watched Steve Rogers enter the room with Natasha Romanoff by his side.

Steve looked at Lucrecia who was in her temporary suit, it was similar to Wanda's but violet. He winked at her before looking straight ahead. Lucrecia blushed lightly, shaking her head at him.

Steve glanced at everyone in the room; James Rhodes "Rhodey" AKA War Machine, Vision, Sam Wilson AKA the Falcon, and the Maximoff triplets.

"Avengers . . ."
