Gauntlet || Maximoff Younger Brother

Chapter 5

NEXUS Internet Hub, Norway

The room they stood in was massive, filled with servers glowing shades of blue and orange. Above them hung catwalks, why do they need catwalks?

"A hacker who's faster than Ultron? He could be anywhere. And as this is the center of everything, I'm just a guy looking for a needle in the world's biggest haystack." Tony said, typing away on the keyboard.

"Then how are you going to find them?" Gabriel asked, standing behind Stark. In the room were a few engineers, presumably to supervise Stark and the seemingly random teenager he had brought with him.

"It's pretty simple, you bring a magnet." Tony answered. Gabriel gave him a confused look, Stark's quip had left him with more questions than answers.

"Oh, I'm decrypting nuclear codes and you don't want me tooo." Stark sang, eliciting an exasperated sigh from Gabriel. Well, can't help it I guess, decrypting nuclear codes must be pretty boring compared to fighting aliens.

"Come and get me."

"They're heading back towards you, so whatever you're going to do, do it now." Barton's voice could be heard over the comms. Cap kicked his shield up from the ground, then threw it at Ultron. The robot swiftly flew towards him in an attempt to ram the super soldier, causing panic to take hold on the passengers of the train. Ultron then summoned a beam from his fingers, sending the Captain onto the ground.

"I'm going in. Cap, can you keep him occupied?" Romanoff asked him.

"What do you think I've been doing?" he answered annoyedly, getting to his feet.

Rogers continued fighting Ultron, the sound of his metal fists clashing against the shield resonating throughout the train. Ultron's fist moved swiftly, earning Steve a hook the hip. Just as the robot raised his fist again to strike, a blur came into his vision and ran into him, sending him into the train's wall a few feet away from Rogers. Before Ultron could even so much as take a step towards Pietro, the handlebars twisted themselves into a barrier, laced with dancing red lights. He turned to Wanda standing behind him.

"Please, don't do this." his synthetic voice rang in their ears.

"What choice do we have?" Wanda answered.

Ultron immediately turned back to Pietro and fired a laser, which he barely dodged. However, the driver hadn't been so lucky. The robot ripped off the door and flew out, the cradle soon to slip through his grasp.

"I lost him! He's headed your way!" Cap yelled into his earpiece, finding the driver's head laying on the dashboard and steadily dripping blood onto the floor. Merely a few moments later, the train smashed through the buffer stop, continuing at full speed off the rails. The captain turned to Pietro and Wanda, who were standing behind him.

"Civilians in our path." he pointed behind him at the drivers cabin. Pietro nodded and dashed out.

"Can you stop this thing?" he then asked Wanda.

Pietro ran as fast as he could, picking up the bystanders and moving them out of the train's way. He stopped as the train neared a warehouse.

"Oh shit." he mumbled.

Captain America moved his shield up as the train smashed through the warehouse's wall, continuing on it's path. Wanda readied herself, then put her hands to the floor, creating waves of red light. Her magic spread throughout the train, finding it's way to the wheels and spinning the other way, slowing the careening vehicle second by second. As the train finally came to a stop, she ran up to Pietro, who was panting and leaning on a nearby building. He dismissed her hands moving to hug him.
