3rd Person's POV

Barton gets a Morse code message from Natasha which he's able to detect her location, at the same time Stark and Banner are experimenting on the synthetic body.

Tony frowns, "This framework is not compatible."

"The genetic coding tower's at ninety-seven percent. You have got to upload that schematic in the next three minutes."

Steve and the twins turn up at the lab in an instant.

"I'm gonna say this once."

Tony chuckles, "How about "nonce"?"

Steve stands firmly glaring at Tony, "Shut it down!"

"Nope, not gonna happen."

"You don't know what you're doing."

Bruce scoffs, "And you do? She's not in your head?"

Wanda holds up her hands in surrender, "I know you're angry."

"Oh, we're way past that. I could choke the life out of you and never change a shade."

"Banner, after everything that's happened..."

Tony shakes his head glancing over at Steve, "That's nothing compared to what's coming!"

"You don't know what's in there!" Wanda yells.

"This isn't a game..." Steve adds.

"The creature...!"

Wanda starts as Pietro uses his speed to destroy the lab equipment.

"No, no. Go on. You were saying?"

Suddenly Barton shoots a bullet below caused the glass Pietro is standing to stand to smash and he falls through.

"Pietro!"

Clint chuckles, "What? You didn't see that coming?"

Bruce looks at Wanda, "Go ahead, piss me off."

Just then Thor enters making everyone freeze. He leaps up into the air and pounds the cradle with his hammer, sending a powerful bolt of lightning that brings the body to life.

"Wait!"

They all look in shock at the body who has JARVIS' voice and has become the Vision.

"I'm sorry, that was... odd." He looks over at Thor, "Thank you."

"Thor, you helped create this?" Steve questions.

"I've had a vision. A whirlpool that sucks in all hope of life and at it's center is that." He points to the gem inside Vision's head.

Bruce frowns, "What, the gem?"

"It's the Mind Stone. It's one of the six Infinity Stones, the greatest power in the universe, unparalleled in its destructive capabilities."

Steve rubs his head, "Then why would you bring it to..."

"Because Stark is right."

Bruce gapes, "Oh, it's definitely the end times."

Thor ignores Bruce and continues to speak, "The Avengers cannot defeat Ultron."

Vision nods, "Not alone."

Steve looks at vision confused, "Why does your "vision" sound like JARVIS?"

"We... we reconfigured JARVIS' matrix to create something new."

Steve sighs, "I think I've had my fill of new."

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

"You're not?"

"I'm not Ultron. I'm not JARVIS. I am... I am."

Wanda frowns, "I looked in your head and saw annihilation."

"Look again."

Clint scoffs, "Yeah. Her seal of approval means jack to me."

"Their powers, 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 replies.

"Is it? Are you? On our side?" Steve asks as he stares at Vision.

"I don't think it's that simple."

"Listen here bub, it better get real simple real soon."

Everyone turns to the lab door to see a drenched Sammie limping in.

"Sammie?" Steve makes his way to her as Tony quickly goes to the other side of the lab and grabs a towel. He hands it to Steve who wraps the towel around Sammie's shoulders.

Clint smiles, "You're okay!"

"Yeah thanks to Nat. I'll explain later but uh who is this guy and why does he sound like Jarvis?"

"I am on the side of life. Ultron isn't, he will end it all."

"What's he waiting for?" Tony questions.

"You."

Bruce frowns, "Where?"

Clint chimes in, "Sokovia. He's got Nat there too."

"If we're wrong about you, if you're the monster that Ultron made you to be..."

"What will you do?" He looks at them all realizing they will destroy him, "I don't want to kill Ultron. He's unique, and he's in pain. But that pain will roll over the earth, 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."

He holds up Thor's hammer and hands it to him, Vision walks off and everyone stares in shock.

"Um what?" Sammie says to herself.

Thor chuckles inwardly, "Right." He pats Stark on the shoulder, "Well done."

Steve looks over at the others, "Three minutes. Get what you need."

Everyone hurried out the lab leaving Tony, Sammie, and Steve. Sammie walks over to Tony giving Steve the one second gesture.

"Sorry I wasn't there to save you."

"Tony you can't be there all the time. And neither can he."

They both glance over at Steve who is leaning on the wall with his arms crossed looking at the two.

"Dylann... now or never. You just got taken once. I don't want you to be taken for good and never have the chance to tell him. No matter how much he may get on my nerves, he deserves to know."

Sammie nods and feels Tony kiss her forehead before leaving out the lab. Steve slowly walks over to Sammie as she wrongs her fingers together.

"You okay doll?"

Sammie sighs, "Steve I'm pregnant."

Steve just stares for a moment. Sammie groans and pulls the towel around herself tighter.

"I'm an idiot and I'm sure you hate me now."

Steve chuckles and shrugs pulling her into a hug, "Well I don't hate you, but yes you are an idiot."

Sammie frowns then shrugs and nods, "Wait why don't you hate me?"

Steve pulls away from the hug and pulls Sammie's hand taking her to a set of chairs. Together they sit side by side.

"Well first of all I married you so it's going to be pretty darn hard to get me to hate you. Second of all I already knew."

Sammie's jaw drops as she looks at him with wide eyes. She shakes her head and laughs a little before before looking at him intensely.

"I'm sorry I thought I just heard you say-"

"I already knew you were pregnant... yes."

"What the... how?"

"Sammie I'm not that innocent... also Lila told me."

Sammie chuckles as she watches Steve's cheeks redden, "That little traitor. She pinky swore... Well why didn't you say anything? Why aren't you yelling at me right now? I give you permission."

Steve chuckles as he raises his hand and caresses Sammie's face, "Sam first of all I didn't want to jump to conclusions... I wanted you to tell me when you were ready. And second of all I know you... you're way too stubborn for your own good. You're going to do what you believe is the right things and no one can stop you. Just like me. So I can't be upset with you. I do want to know why you waited so long though."

Sammie sighs, "I-I was scared. I know how stressed out you've been and I didn't want to distract you. I thought if I told you, you would literally drop everything and try to protect me in any way whenever you could and I don't want you to do that. I want you be Captain America and save millions of lives. I can protect myself and even then I have a whole team behind me."

Steve nods, "Yeah I realized that when I took the time to think about it. I can't be there all the time no matter how much I want to. And yes you can protect yourself, I know this. That's why I just waited for you to tell me... when you were ready."

Sammie lets out a huge breath as she unconsciously rubs her belly, "So you're not mad or upset?"

Steve shakes his head and then gets on both knees in front of Sammie. He places his hand on top of Sammie's which rest on her stomach.

"Doll of course not. I love you... I couldn't be happier. You've given me what I've dreamed of my whole life... a family. Maybe not the best timing..."

"Yeah definitely not."

"But... I'm very grateful. And as soon as we stop Ultron... we'll focus on the baby."

Sammie tears up slightly. She had been stressed to the max trying to keep the secret and trying to figure out if she was right or wrong for not telling Steve. It felt so good to finally let him know. And it felt even better to know that he was happy about the baby.

Steve holds Sammie's face and gently pulls her into a kiss. Sammie wraps her arms around Steve's neck before lightly tugging his hair. After a moment the two pull away and Steve rubs his hand across Sammie's belly. His heart warms as he thinks about his first child.

"Hey there princess."

"How do you know it's a girl? It could very well be a boy."

Steve shakes his head with a smile, "She's definitely a girl. I just know it."

Steve looks back at Sammie's belly and smiles again, "Me and mommy are going to keep you safe. That's a promise."

...

Tony loads up FRIDAY into his Iron Man suit now that JARVIS is no longer available.

"Good evening, boss."

"No way we all get through this. If even one tin soldier is left standing, we've lost. It's gonna be blood on the floor."

Tony glances to his right seeing Steve wall in the room. Behind him Sammie follows, dressed in armor  with two swords on her hips.

"I got no plans tomorrow night."

Tony chuckles at his sister, "I get first crack at the big guy. Iron Man's the one he's waiting for."

Vision walks past, "That's true, he hates you the most."

Tony frowns as Sammie laughs following Vision, "I like him."

Steve shakes his head then puts on a serious face as the avengers all stand and wait for his order, "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."

Sammie walks with Clint, Wanda, and Pietro. She glances over at Clint who seems to wear the same face she did. Annoyance.

"Of course we're put with them."

Clint chuckles, "No way we wouldn't be."

"Still upset old man." Pietro laughs.

"He has a right to be. Ugh you're literally a younger more annoying version of Tony."

Pietro frowns, "Am not."

"Yes you are."

"Whatever lady in ice."

"Ohhhh you're so lucky you're on the right team right now."

Wanda chuckles as the two fight like siblings.

"Alright Speedy Gonzales time to alert the authorities."

Pietro nods and zooms away as Clint rolls his eyes, "Show off."

Pietro speeds into the Sokovian police station.

"We're under attack! Clear the city, now!"

No one takes this seriously so Pietro returns, takes a shotgun and starts shooting in the air, "Get off your asses."

Wanda uses her mind powers on the people of Sokovia to get them to evacuate.

Steve speaks through the comms, "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. 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."

"Your man's in the church, boss. I think he's waiting for you."

Stark thanks Friday then flies into the church.

"Come to confess your sins?"

Tony shrugs, "I don't know, how much time you got?"

"More than you." Ultron stands up.

"Uhhh. Have you been juicing? A little Vibranium cocktail? You're looking, I don't wanna say, puffy..."

"You're stalling to protect the people."

"Well, that is the mission. Did you forget?" Tony replies sassily.

"I've moved beyond your mission. I'm free."

Suddenly the Vibranium core he's placed beneath the floor erupts, "What, you think you're the only one stalling?"

"There's the rest of the Vibranium. Function, still unclear." Friday reports.

"This is how you end, Tony. This is peace in my time." Ultron's army of robots start attacking the city as everyone is evacuating.

Vision then finds Ultron as Tony fights bots.

"Ultron."

"My Vision. They really did take everything from me."

"You set the terms, you can change them."

"Alright."

Within seconds they start battling it out.

"FRIDAY! The Vision?"

"Boss, it's working. He's burning Ultron out of the net, he won't escape through there."

Ultron yells at Vision, "You shut me out! You think I care? You take away my world, I take away yours."

He activates the Vibranium core and the earth around Sokovia starts to shake and break.

Tony frowns, "FRIDAY?"

"Sokovia's going for a ride."

As Sokovia is being destroyed, Ultron feels like his plan is coming together.

"Do you see? The beauty of it, the inevitability. You rise, only to fall. You, Avengers, you are my meteor, my swift and terrible sword and the earth will crack with the weight of your failure. Purge me from your computers, turn my own flesh against me. It means nothing. When the dust settles, the only thing living in this world will be metal."

"You can't save them all. You'll never..."

Steve throws off one of the attacking robots off the edge of the bridge, "You'll never what? You didn't finish!"

Thor lands on the bridge on the top of the woman's car he was saving.

"What, were you napping?"

Ultron gets angrier as Thor and Steve are fighting off the robots, "Thor! You're bothering me."

Sammie, Clint, and Wanda all hide in a house as ten bots surround them shooting. Wanda starts to hyperventilate as Clint shoots arrows out the window.

Sammie glances over at Wanda and feels a tug in her heart. She remembered the first time she ever was in a deadly situation. Sammie groans slightly before pulling herself over to sit near Wanda.

"Hey. Hey, you okay?"

Wanda frowns, "This is all our fault."

"Hey, look at me. It's your fault, it's everyone's fault, who cares. Are you up for this? Are you? Look, I just need to know cause the city is flying. Ok, look, the city is flying, we're fighting an army of robots, and I have two freaking swords."

"You think your life is hard. I have a bow and arrow."

Sammie rolls her eyes and sticks her tongue out at Clint's back.

"I saw that."

Sammie chuckles then turns serious looking at Wanda once again, "Look I know. None of this makes sense. But I'm going back out there cause it's my job. Ok, and I can't do my job and babysit. I have my own issues that I'm not even considering at the moment because saving the world means that much to me."

Wanda looks down at her shoes as Sammie sighs. Clint ducks down and crawls over to the two.

"Listen... Doesn't matter what you did, or what you were. If you go out there, you fight and you fight to kill. Stay in here, you're good. I'll send your brother to come find you. But if you step out that door, you are an Avenger..."

Wanda says nothing and doesn't move. Sammie lets out a harsh breath before standing up and pulling her swords out.

"All right, good chat."

Together Clint and Sammie run out the house. Sammie runs up a ramp and flips in the air, slicing a bot's head clean off while Clint fires explosive arrows at a group. The two take a deep breath before taking another step towards the bots but freeze when the house door slams open. Wanda suddenly comes out of the building and starts to use her powers on the robots to destroy all the bots around them.

"Ugh I miss my powers." Sammie pouts as she watches Wanda.

"Alright, we're all clear here." Clint speaks through the comm.

"We are not clear! We are very not clear!"

Sammie frowns as she hears the stress in Steve's voice.

"Alright, coming to you."

Just then Pietro speeds in, picks up Wanda and leaves, "Keep up old man! You too granny!"

"Granny?!" Sammie scoffs as Barton holds his arrow to aim it at Pietro.

"Nobody would know. Nobody. The last I saw him, when Ultron was sitting on him. Uh... yeah, he'll be missed, that quick little bastard. I miss him already."

"Yeah well I don't. Ugh little egotistical shit."

Clint chuckles and pats Sammie on the back before the two of them make their way to everyone else.
