Noel Anderson just turned up one day, no one knows how or why. All they know is she doesn't age and she has powers that rivals those of the Gods.

We rush towards the cathedral, robots swarming all around. My power reserves are up by the time we reach it. "Are you good?" Pietro asks racing for his sister "yeah." She breaths and I clutch Clint's arm "she saved our asses more then once." Wanda blushes slightly and Pietro nods. "Romanoff." Stark calls "you and Banner better not be playing Hide the Zucchini." I snort, shaking my head. Tony always has the worst jokes when in the middle of a fight, it must be a defence mechanism.
"Relax shell head." Natasha's silky voice pierces my ear "not all of us can fly." She arrives a few minutes later, Hulk just behind "what's the drill?" She asks. I shoot a robot behind her "this is the drill." Tony says pointing to the core in the centre of the cathedral "if Ultron gets a hand on the core, we lose." Hulk smashes more robots as Ultron lands behind him.
We all prepare to fight, my heart is racing in my chest and I remember I have done this hundreds, if not thousands of times before. I've fought Deviants, robots should be a walk in the park. "Is that the best you can do?" Thor shouts as robots stop flying at us, Ultron laughs, throwing up a hand. Hundreds of robots come climbing and flying from every direction "you had to ask." Steve says sarcastically and I shake my head "because it wasn't challenging enough before." I say
Ultron's rough, unnatural voice sounds out "this is the best I can do." I click my neck before creating balls of cosmic energy in my hands. "This is exactly what I wanted." He continues "all of you against all of me. How can you possibly hope stop me?" There is a dramatic pause before Tony replies "like the old man said. Together." Hulk roars and the fighting starts again.
I throw blasts of my power at three robots at a time, my breath slightly labouring. "I've got one for you Rogers." I say dropping a bot into a portal and it lands in front of Steve who throws his shield at it. I grit my teeth as one takes a few shots at me, all barely missing, I push my hands out a wave of bright yellow energy launching itself at my opponent making it burst apart.
I continue breaking apart bot after bot but they seem to keep coming like an endless supply, it feels like it's never going to end. We protect the core to the best of our ability, "duck." Wanda commands and I do, she throws Scarlett energy over my head, tearing a robot in two "thanks." I say between panted breathes "anytime." She says and we continue fighting. Hulk manages to punch Ultron so hard he flies away from us, the other robots fleeing as though they are scared.
"They'll try to leave the city." I say as the robots start flying off the edge "we can't let them. Not even one. Rhodey." His friend acknowledges us and flies into view. Shooting the robots one after another like they are easy prey. Vision joins him and he looks a little concerned. I turn back to face our group on the ground "we gotta move out. Even I can tell the air is getting thin. You guys get to boats. I'll sweep for stragglers." Steve orders "be right behind you."
I stand close to Nat, she clenches her hands around her guns protectively "what about the core?" Barton asks. Wanda, who is standing on a ledge a little bit above us says "I'll protect it." I raise my eyes in surprise "I'll help." I say and she nods gratefully. The others fall out, Wanda's brother knocks down a few more robots "get the people on the boats." She orders. He shakes his head stepping forward "I'm not going to leave you here." He says and I flex my fingers "she's not alone." He looks over at me, his blue eyes piercing my soul.
"I can handle these." She insist, throwing her power at a robot racing for her "come back for us when everyone else is off." I say and Pietro scoffs. He starts to move and then stops, looking back at us "you know, I'm 12 minutes older than you." His sister laughs "go." And he is gone. We share a look and I ask "are you ready?" She nods, swallowing hard. I summon more energy "good because I'm not." And we start fighting robots again.
It seems like things are going well, until Wanda suddenly falls to her knees clutching her chest. "Wanda!" I call dodging a gun shot from a robot but all she goes is scream, flinging out masses of her power throwing robots away and I go flying to. I fly into a brick wall and I wince. Ouch. Dust flies everywhere from the impact and I get up, my whole body aches "Wanda we need to go now." I say rushing over to her "he's dead." She cries "my brother is dead." I stop cold.
Giving her a moment before dragging her up "Wanda, let's go." She gets up but shrugs out of my grip "I need to do something." She says coldly and I nod, understanding "I'll see you on the boat." She doesn't say anything but stalks in the other direction. I catch up to the last boat and find Clint lying across several seats "move up." I say and he sits up leaving me room to sit down "is that...?" I ask glancing at Pietro's body on the floor in front of us, Clint nods grimly. I sigh, slumping back and resting my head on his shoulder "I need a vacation."
