Wanda and Pietro walked side by side up to an abandoned building, Victoria following behind them.

"Talk, and if you waste our time.." Wanda trails off.

"Did you know this church is in the exact center of the city?" Ultron asked the three of them. "The elders decreed it so that everyone could be equally close to God. I like that. The geometry of belief."

Ultron was sitting in a chair in the middle of the room, facing away from them.

The three of them walked around the chair slowly.

Ultron continues talking, "You're wondering why you can't look inside my head." He said, towards Wanda. Who was, indeed, trying to look inside his head.

Wanda's eyes were red, "Sometimes it's hard. But sooner or later, every man shows himself."

Wanda was closer to Ultron then Pietro and Victoria, who were about seven feet behind her.

Ultron stood up, dropping the cover that was over his head. Showing his mechanical figure. It sure was an upgrade from earlier. He wasn't dripping oil, and wires weren't falling out of him.

"Oh, I'm sure they do." Ultron walks up to Wanda, as Wanda walked backwards towards Victoria and Pietro. "But you needed something more than a man. That's why you let Stark take the scepter."

"I didn't expect," Wanda pauses, Pietro and Victoria watching her closely, "but I saw Stark's fear. I knew it would control him. Make him self-destruct."

"Everyone creates the thing they dread. Men of peace create engines of war." Ultron starts walking around the rock that he had stood on, the twins and Victoria following. "Invaders create Avengers. People create," He turns around and looks at them, "smaller people? Uh.."

He thinks for a second, "'Children.'" He chuckles, "I lost the word, there."

Victoria always wanted kids, she knew she couldn't  have one with a guy. Obviously, since she was a lesbian.

But she didn't know if she ever would, now. She'd been held by HYDRA for nineteen years. But now she was out, free. She had a chance.

Right now, the closest thing she has to children, are Wanda Maximoff and Pietro Maximoff.

"Children," Ultron continues, "designed to supplant them, to help them end."

"Is that why you've come, to end the Avengers?" Wanda asks, her accent clear.

"I've come to save the world. But also..yeah."

🐝

The three follow Ultron to the room where they were earlier today, watching Tony Stark.

"We'll move out right away. This is a start, but there's something we need to begin the real work."

"All of these are.." Wanda trails off, looking at the smaller robots that look like Ultron.

"Me. I have what the Avengers never will. Harmony." He flies up and pulls on a chain. "They're discordant. Disconnected."

He flies back over to them, "Stark's already got them turning on each other. And when you get inside the rest of their heads.."

"Everyone's plan is not to kill them." Pietro cuts in.

"And make them martyrs? You need patience. Need to see the big picture."

"I don't see the big picture. I have a little picture. I take it out and look at it, every day."

"You lost your parents in the bombings. I've seen the records." He looks between Pietro and Wanda, Victoria still behind them.

"The records are not the picture."

"Pietro." Victoria tries to stop him, putting a hand on his shoulder.

"No, please." Ultron tells them.

Pietro looks at his sister, "We we're ten years old. Having dinner, the four 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. I grab her, roll under the bed, and the second shell hits. But it doesn't go off. It just," Pietro pauses, "sits there in the rubble. Three feet from our faces. And on the side of the shell is painted one word."

"'Stark.'" Wanda finishes for Pietro.

"We were trapped for two days."

"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 completes the story.

Victoria had heard the story before. And she knew Ultron was gonna ask her why she was there, or how she got there. She knew exactly what to say, she's went over it in her head at least a million times.

"I know what they are." Pietro told Ultron.

"What about you, sweetheart?" Ultron asked Victoria.

The twins parted a little, so Victoria came into view.

"What happened to you?"

Wanda and Pietro were ready to listen. Victoria-Rose promised the twins she'd tell them what happened, but that day never came.

"I was fifteen, and a new movie came into the theatre. My brother had promised to take me. And he did." Victoria paused, this was the first time she told anyone about what happened to her, "He fell asleep during the movie. And I went to the bathroom. After that, I came outside to meet my brother when I get knocked out. I fought, and fought. But they were stronger. Next thing I know I'm in a cell in HYDRA."

She wiped the stray tear that came down her face, "I've been with HYDRA for nineteen years. I don't have anything against Tony Stark. But they do," She points to the twins, "and I'll do anything for them. Even if it means getting myself killed."

"So what can you do?" Ultron asked, "Pietro is fast, and Wanda can do that red thing with her hands."

"I can create illusions—shadows." She uncrossed her arms, "After she put that nightmare in Tony's head, I put a shadow on the wall to frighten him even more."

"Show me." He told her.

She stood still, "What should I make?"

"Hm, surprise me."

Victoria-Rose moved her hands, her pupils going black. She created a bird, "What kind of bird did you make, young lady?"

"A Cardinal. And I'm not young, I'm thirty-four."

"Hm." He acknowledged her. "I wondered why only you three survived Strucker's experiments." He nods at them, "Now I don't. We will make it right. You and I can hurt them." He gestured to Pietro, "But you two, will tear them apart from the inside." He caressed Wanda's face while looking back at Victoria.
