As we wait in the plane, my mother checks on me. Since I am growing in my magic sometimes it can be to much for me physically. "How are you feeling sweetie?" I smile seeing her sit down next to me. "Yeah, I feel fine don't worry mom. You're not still mad at Steve, right?" She sighs. "You won't understand." I scoff. "You mean about you and Steve's first love?"

She looked at me surprised. "Yeah, he told me because I asked why he wanted to hurt you." I shake my head can't believing I even know about this between. "I told him no matter what, he shouldn't hold that anger against you." I turned to look back at my mom smiling at me. "Just like your father." She grabbed a piece of my hair and puts it behind my ear. "He always told me that."

Clint interrupted. "There. It's a truck from the lab. Right above you, Cap. On the loop by the bridge. It's them." I walk over to get a closer look at the monitor. "You got three with the cradle, one in the cab. I could take out the driver." Steve responds back, "negative. That truck crashes, the gem could level the city. We need to draw out Ultron."

Within seconds we watch Steve jump off to land on Ultron's truck... Two blast and I see Steve hanging off the door. "Well, he's definitely unhappy. I'm gonna try and keep him that way." Clint shakes his head. "You're not a match for him, Cap." I couldn't help but chuckle. "Thanks, Barton. Is that Ellaria laughing?" I spoke into the intercom, "maybe."

When I come up, I look at my mom seeing her eyeing me. "You are close?" My mom asks raising her eyebrow getting Nat to smirk at me. "No. Just have to give someone crap," I said in a singing voice and feeling Nat pat my back. "Ready?" I nod as we walk to the gate.

Clint looks back at us. "We got a window. Four, three.... Give him hell." Within seconds I hold onto Natasha's waist as we ride her motorcycle to Ultron's truck. As we were driving, we see Steve's shield. "We're always picking up after you boys." Nat says.

"They're heading under the overpass. I've got no shot." "Which way," Nat ask. "Hard right. Now." As we ride through the crowds Nat mutes herself. "Hey how are things between you and Steve?" I look at her confused. "Still tense. Hates my mom. Told me why. Wants to be friends." She chuckles. "Puss." We slid under the truck as she throws Steve his shield, letting him upper chuck Ultron. Ultron sees us and makes the concrete bust up.

"Hold tight!" Nat yells. I held on tight as Nat breaks hard. We drove past people on the stairs say sorry. That is when I see Steve being thrown off. Cars were flying and then see that he did make it through. "Clint, can you draw out the guards?"

"Let's find out?"

As we drive Nat and I tell everyone to watch out. As we get closer to the truck Steve throws Ultron off the truck, but just as quickly Ultron pushes back to Steve making them land in the subway. "They're heading back towards you. So, whatever you are gonna do, do it now," Clint voice some through.

"I'm going in. Cap, can you keep him occupied?" Nat says. Through our earpiece I could hear him catching his breath. "What do you think I've been doing?" As we both jump off her motorcycle we see a body that looks like it's in a coffin. I get into my stance until I feel the truck being lifted. Both Nat and I lose our balance. "Okay, package is airborne. I have a clean shot."

"Negative. Ellaria and I are still in the truck."

"What the hell are you..."

"Just be ready," I say helping Nat unload the package. "I'm sending the package to you," Nat finishes. "How do you want me to take it?" Clint asks. "Uhm, you might wish you hadn't asked that."

"I lost him!" Steve says in our earpiece. "He's headed your way!"

"Nat, Ellaria we gotta go." I hold on to the coffin as Nat cuts off the last rope and puts a bomb on the truck. I quickly grab her arm helping her up as we start sliding out. As the coffin lands in I felt a tug on my leg seeing Ultron pull me. "Ellaria!" I could hear my mother shout after me.

Steve's POV

"Cap, you see Ellaria?" Clint asks me. "If you have the package, get it to Stark! Go!" Then after I said that Nat gets on. "Captain do you have eyes on Ellaria damit." "Go!" I knew I can find her, but this is a priority.

I look at Pietro. "Civilians in our path." As quick as he heard me, he rushed out. I ordered thew sister to try and stop the subway. Within seconds I got pushed back feeling the force knock me off my feet. When I made sure everyone was safe and no one was seriously hurt. As I walk out of the subway going to the twins. "I'm very tempted not to give you one."

"The cradle! Did you get it?" Wanda asks. "Stark will take care of it." The girl shakes her head. "No, he won't."

"You don't know what you're talking about. Stark's not crazy."

"He will do anything to make things right." Wanda speaks up.

"Stark, come in Stark. Anyone on comms." "Ultron can't tell the difference between saving the world and destroying it. Where do you think he gets that?" I turn to look at her think about every word she said.

Ellaria's POV

I was laying on the cold floor holding my abdomen in pain. I open my eyes to see I was with Ultron. "I wasn't sure you would wake up. I hoped you would. I wanted to show you. I don't have anyone else." Slowly I start to get up. "I think a lot about meteors. The purity in them. Boom! The end. Start again. The world made clean for the new man to rebuild."

As I start to scooch away, he looked at me so quickly I felt like I was going to get murdered. "I was meant to be new. I was meant to be beautiful. The world would have looked to the sky and seen hope, seen mercy. Instead, they'll look up in horror because of you." He started to walk up to me. "You've wounded me. I give you full marks for that. But, like the man said, what doesn't kill me..." Within seconds Ultron was ripped apart to show one with claws. I start getting up to run hearing his last words. "...Just makes me stronger." He grabs my arm and throws me into a cell looking at me as if I was a prey.

Hours later I work on signaling the others of where I am. Hopefully someone can find me. Hours felt like days, but soon I heard someone calling my name. "Ellaria!" It was Natasha and my mom. "Ellaria!"

"Mom! Nat!" Natasha smiles seeing me. "You are doing okay El?" I nodded tearing up.

"The team is in the city. It's about to light up." Bruce says walking up to them. "Excuse me ladies." He says holding a blaster to open the gate.

"So, what's the plan." I ask walking out. "We are here to get you to safety."

I turned to look at them. "But what about Ultron?"

"We could help with the evacuation, but I can't be in a fight near civilians. And you've done plenty." Bruce and Nat say. "I agree sweetie. Please take her I have to go help Stark." My mom says levitating away.
