Silver Lining [Age Of Ultron]

Which Side

The three got called back to help Ultron and gave them the meeting place at Dr. Cho's lab.

After one of the robots helped rebuild Tamara metal leg she was able to physically move like she used to.

"Cellular cohesion will take a few hours, but we can initiate the consciousness stream. We're uploading you cerebral matrix...now." Dr. Cho explained as the triplets walked in.

"I can read him." Wanda said curiously walking towards the capsuled body. "He's, dreaming." She said intently.

"I wouldn't call it dreams. It's Ultrons base consciousness. Informational noise. Soon.." she told them.

"How soon? I'm not being pushy." Ultron said trying to cover up his lack of patience. "We're imprinting a physical brain. There are no shortcuts" Dr. Cho reminded him.

Pietro and Tamara stood side by side as Wandas curiosity pulled her to the large capsule. She rested her hands lightly on the metal frame reading his thoughts until one certain thing hit her.

Wandas screams brought both Tamara and Pietro to her aid as she stumbled back. "Wanda" Tamara asked as Pietro made sure she was ok.

The girl panted as she looked at the robot. "How could you." She asked him.

"How could I what?" The robot asked in response. "You said we would destroy the avengers, make a better world" she told him.

"It will be better" he retorted as Tamara looked into her sisters thoughts. "When everyone is dead" Tamara asked looking at Pietro then back to Ultron.

"That is not.....the human race will have every opportunity to improve." Ultron explained. "And if they don't?" Pietro asked, the three had already gotten the same idea.

"Ask Noah" the robot in response. "You're a madman" Tamara scoffed shaking her head.

"There were more than a dozen extinction level events before even the dinosaurs got theirs. When the Earth starts to settle, God throws a stone at it. And, believe me, he's winding up. We have to evolve."

"There's no room, for the weak." Ultron finished. "And who decided who's weak?" Pietro asked as Wanda used her abilities and helped Dr. Cho back to her original state.

The doctor had been hit with the scepter making her follow Ultrons every command. Now that she was back, every part of Tamara was hoping the doctor would do something.

"Life" Ultron chuckled. "Life always decides" the robot then looked around after hearing a rather loud noise.

"There's incoming" he said "the Quinjet. We have to move" he stated sternly. Pietro kissed the top of Wandas head as the three of us decided on a short getaway plan.

"That's not a problem." Dr. Cho said as she paused the upload. Ultron sighed in annoyance before blasting the doctor into the wall. Pietro quickly ran off with Wanda as Tamara began walking back into a wall.

"Wait, guys!" He stammered as the wall engulfed Tamara sending her into the portal realm. She opened the next portal and floated through, landing in the middle of the walkway.

"What took you so long" Pietro joked as Tamara sat beside her siblings. "The portal realm is nice" Tamara shrugged. "But it's literally black" Wanda said confusedly.

"Yeah, it's calming" Tamara defended as Pietro chuckled, all of the sudden there was a lot of banging. Grunts, sounds of dents echoed through the bus.

"I think we should help" Wanda admitted. "I agree" Pietro said looking to Tamara for approval.

A moment of silence passed until Tamara made up her mind. "We should help...but if I see Stark, he's not gonna look too pretty the next day" she said getting up.

The two nodded in agreement as they stood. Tamara was quick to come up with a plan before opening the doors in between the parts of the bus.

Pietro sped inside and rammed right into Ultron, knocking the piece of tin off balance. When he tried to go for Pietro, Wanda quickly cut him off by pulling down the side rails.

"Please don't do this." He asked the three as Tamara scoffed. "What choice do we have?" She asked. Ultron looked back to Pietro and held up his arm wanting another go.

Tamara quickly created a portal for Pietro, he ran in fast as she created another beside her letting him out.

Ultrons blast went straight through to the front, killing the driver. Ultron broke out the side door and flew out before anyone else could do anything.

"I lost him!" Captain America shouted. "He's headed your way!" He yelled into the comms. The train past the end zone and crashed into cargo, not even slowing down.

"Civilians in our path" Captain America told the three. Without hesitation Pietro ran out to get the others out of the way.

"Can you stop this thing?" The man asked Wanda, she looked to Tamara nervously.

"You can do it, Wanda" Tamara nodded, the bus was getting closer and closer to a building.

Without a second thought. Tamara created a portal, right on the building wall before it crashed. The next portal opened on the other side as the bus came out the other end.

Tamara had never created a portal that big, or for that long. It took a lot of energy from her, it was painfully obvious as she panted letting the blood run down from her nose.

Wanda used her abilities to stop the bus as Captain America flew back from being hit by a giant waste container. Pietro continued to get civilians out of the way as Wanda stopped the bus.

It slowed to a final stop as other civilians helped the people out of the bus. Pietro panted as he held himself up, Wanda helped Tamara out of the bus and got to Pietro as the three made sure each other were ok.

"I'm fine. I just need to take a minute" Pietro said trying to calm himself down. "I'm very tempted not to give you one." The flag looking man told the three.

Tamara wiped the blood from her nose as she glared daggers at the man. "The cradle. Did you get it?" Wanda asked

"Stark will take care of it" he said as Tamara scoffed, they really did believe in Tony Stark that much.

"No they won't" Wanda said, Pietro looked between Captain America and Tamara seeing as she shook her head in disappointment.

"You don't know what you're talking about. Starks not crazy" he tried to reason. "He will do anything to make things right" Wanda defended.

"Stark, come in. Stark. Anyone on comms" he asked. "Ultron can't tell the difference between saving the world and destroying it. Where do you think he gets that?" Tamara stated boldly.

She only knew Tony Stark as the man who hurt her. The one that killed her parents, the one that messed up her siblings childhood, the one that made her lose a limb.

To Tamara, Stark deserved to die, until she saw a reason for her not to. Tamara would kill Tony Stark.
