Team POV:
"I'm gonna say this once," said Steve. The twins followed behind him. Tony and Bruce looked shocked to see the twins. "How about 'nonce'?" replied Tony.  "Shut it down!"  "Nope, not gonna happen."  "You don't know what you're doing."  "And you do?" Bruce questioned. "She's not in your head?" He referenced Wanda.  "I know you're angry," said Wanda, stepping out from behind Pietro.  "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—" Steve started.  "It's nothing compared to what's coming!" Tony interrupted.  "Tony!" Steve yelled "You don't even know what's inside the Cradle. If it was made by Ultron, it shouldn't be anything good."  "This isn't a game, Stark," said Nat, raising her voice. 

Out of nowhere, Pietro sped around the room and unplugged the Cradle from every single outlet.  "No, no. Go on," he said, throwing the last plug to the ground. Tony and Bruce looked shocked. "You were saying?" A gunshot sound was heard, which led to Pietro falling through the glass floor.  "Pietro!" Wanda ran towards the newly broken floor, and she looked down where the floor used to be and saw Clint, looking way too proud of himself.  "What?" Clint stepped over Pietro. "You didn't see that coming?"

"I'm rerouting the upload," said Tony. Steve took his shield and chucked it towards the power source of the Cradle. Tony, now with part of his Iron Man suit on only his hand and forearm, fired a repulsor blast at Steve, knocking him to the ground.

Scarlett POV:

I heard a gun and then yelling grumbling I stood out of bed and ran into my dads lab in a skimpy night gown and noticing that Wanda was about to use her energy abilities, but Bruce grabbed around her neck.  "Go ahead, piss me off," he whispered in her ear.   I immediately unholstered my pistol ( what a girl can't have a gun on there thigh while she sleeps?), aiming for the power source. Clint bolted up the stairs, another pistol in hand, and shot mine out from my hands. I narrowed my eyes at him as he mouthed "sorry".

As Tony and Steve continued going ham on each other, Clint ran over to me and grabbed my pistol from the floor, holding me back. I subtly looked around at everyone in the room watching as a civil war going on in the room.  "I'll make this up with a dad joke. Promise," Clint said in my ear.  "Ok bird brain," I muttered.  "Hey!" 

Wanda used her red energy to break out of Bruce's grip. She then turned, firing it at his chest.I throw my head back into Clint and knocked him down " I was trained by you and Nat the two best Shield against and the best assassin do not test me."I said as I was about to  stop my father  I noticed Thor slide into the room. He jumped on top of the Cradle, raising his hammer and conjuring lightning to power it back up again.  "Wait!" Bruce called out.

I watched as Clint grabbed me and put my behind him in dad mode and from behind him and Nats back I was watching Thor continue to channel his lightning into the Cradle. Once he stopped, the Cradle door bursted open, shooting Thor backwards into the glass. A figure emerged from inside. Everything about it looked like a human male, except the fact that he was completely red with some silver markings.I was about to go after him when I realized he was naked ew,ew,ew no gross as soon as I saw that Nat put her hand over my eyes and I said "thanks mama spider in now traumatized" He kneeled on top of the Cradle, glancing upwards. The red figure slowly began to stand, looking around at all of us. He then launched himself towards Thor, who threw him back into the glass window. The figure flew back, gently stopping in front of the window that overlooked the city. Thor and Steve chased after him, carefully stopping at a good distance behind him. The figure, now wearing some type of clothing, flew back towards us and quietly landed.  "I am sorry," he said calmly. "That was .. odd. Thank you." He nodded at Thor. He looked around as a long cape randomly appeared on his shoulders. "Thor, you helped create this?" Steve asked.  "I've had a vision," Thor started. "A whirlpool that sucks in all hope of life, and at its center is that." He pointed at the golden gem in the middle of the figure's forehead.   "What? The gem?" Bruce asked.   "It's the Mind Stone. It's one of the six Infinity Stones."  "Then why would you bring—" Steve started.  "Because Stark is right," interrupted Thor.   "Oh, it's definitely the end times," I groaned, rubbing my temples. "We're all gonna die." Pietro seemed to find my statement funny because he smiled and grabbed me back towards the  elevators. "The Avengers cannot defeat Ultron."  "Not alone," said the figure.  "Why does your vision sound like Jarvis?" asked Steve. "We reconfigured Jarvis's matrix to create something new," Tony said , looking as taken aback as the rest of us.  "I think I've had my fill of new."  "You think I'm a child of Ultron," said the figure.  "Wasn't that your purpose?" I asked.  "I'm not Ultron. I'm not Jarvis. I am.... I am." "I looked in your head and saw annihilation," said Wanda, walking up to him.  "Look again."  "Her seal of approval means jack to me," scoffed Clint, walking up to the group. "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 ..." said Thor.   "Is it?" said Steve, looking over at the figure. "Are you? On our side?"  "I don't think it's that simple," responded the figure.  "Well, it better get real simple real soon," sassed Clint.  "I am on the side of life. Ultron isn't. He will end it all."  "What's he waiting for?" Tony asked.  "You and your daughter ."  "Where?" Bruce asked.  "Sokovia," I said "he wants it to stop were it all began" "He's got Nat there, too."  Bruce slowly approached the figure. "If we're wrong about you, if you're the monster that Ultron made you to be.."  "What will you do?" responded the figure.

"I don't want to kill Ultron. He's unique and he's in pain." He walked past the group, towards the window.

"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."

The figure lifted the Mjölnir with ease and held it out towards Thor "I guess he's, uh, worthy?" I muttered. "Right," he said awkwardly. "Well done." He pat Tony on the shoulder and followed the figure then he looks at me and said "we must talk before the battle" with that he left.  "Three minutes," said Steve, breaking the silence. "Get what you need."we all left our separate ways to get what we need.I just remembered I was in a way too short nightly gown when I was Pietro smirk at me looking me up and down, when a really mad and overprotective Steve his leather jacket over me. "Aw thanks but your never getting this back, dad will buy you another" I said pulling it closer to me. He sighed "I know" me mumbled in defeat with I skipped away to get ready.
