As the dawn approached, the Avengers descended upon Sokovia, their arrival wrapped in the ethereal light of morning. The bewildered Sokovians found themselves confronted by a sudden assembly of superheroes, urging them to leave their homes and flee the city. Wanda's magical abilities made everything easier since she used it to coerce the civilians to leave. The Avengers had slip, each person going to their own section, helping people evacuate, while Tony and Vision braced themselves to confront Ultron.

"Come on. Keep moving, everyone," urged Alice, her voice a beacon of urgency amid the chaos. A small boy fell right in front of her, so she knelt to aid the child. "Are you alright, little one?" The boy nodded with excitement. "Come on, go to your parents. You need to leave as quickly as you can." With a grateful smile, the child ran back to his mother's arms.

Suddenly, tremors wracked the city, panic seizing the population as ominous robots emerged from every direction.

"Oh fucking hell," Alice's heart sank as she saw a robot closing in on the same child she had just helped. She ran towards the robot just in time, ripping it apart before it could hurt the boy. "Keep moving!"

Armed with two knives, she braced herself for the fight, resolved to protect those in need. She destroyed every robot that tried to attack her or civilians near her. She was not gonna let anyone get hurt, not on her watch.

Pietro appeared at her at her side, a blur of motion as he dispatched a swarm of robots. "I came here to see if you needed help but looks like you're good on your own. You good, right?"

"Yeah, I'm good. You?"

Pietro didn't answer her. Instead, he started running towards a dozen of robots that were in front of them, destroying them instantly in the process and then coming back to her side.

"Did you see what I did there?" he asked with a smirk on his face. "Are you impressed?"

"I don't need to see you using your powers to be impressed," she answered with a smile on her face, which made him blush.

"I really want to kiss you," he confessed while getting closer to her.

"Pietro!" she instantly threw him on the ground. There was a robot coming right to his way. Grabbing it by its legs and torso, she broke it in half. "Not the best time for romance, right?"
