Never Saw It Coming [Quicksilver/Pietro Maximoff Love Story]

Chapter 3

Kara's POV
My whole body shakes as we walk back into Strucker's base. I don't want to go back. The only reassurance I had was the fact that we were walking with Ultron, who had already killed Strucker. This only helped so much. Every step closer was harder and harder. Wanda was in front of the three of us, with me in the middle and Pietro right behind me. I really don't want to go back. I blinked back tears. Pietro noticed and rubbed his hand across my back. "You ok?" He asked quietly. I nodded.

"It just hard." I whisper back. I should be happy and thankful that Strucker awoke my powers and but I hated it here. We were locked away and experimented on. The good thing that happened was meeting the twins. Ultron led us down to a place in the base we had never been. The room was lined with robots being built. Ultron's making more of himself.

"We'll move right away." Ultron led us toward the middle of the room. "This is a start but we need something else to being the real work." Wanda and I shared a look of confusion.

"All of this is...?" The twins and I watched the metal man carefully.

"Me." He answered Wanda's question before continuing. "I will have something the Avengers will never have. Harmony. Disconnected." Ultron fiddled with something on the table.

"We know what they are." Pietro said. Ultron turned around to face us.

"We can fight them." He motioned toward Pietro and I. "And you can tear them apart from the inside." He touched Wanda's cheek. I shivered. "But we need one more thing."

Pietro's POV
They traveled to South Africa. To meet some arms dealer Ulysses Klaue. Pietro stood toward the back of the ship. He watched his sister and Kara as they talked quietly to each other. They look happy. Almost like normal teenagers. He smiled to himself. I wish they didn't have to fight this fight.

When they got to the base, they need to sneak in. This job was given to Pietro and Kara. He would use his speed to get her into the building and she would her powers to shut off the power. "You ready to go?" He smiled at her before picking her up in a bridal carry.

"I never said I was ready." Kara stated.

"Oh well." Pietro laughed and took off toward the building. Kara rolled her eyes and he could hear his sister laughing at his comment. Within seconds the two of them were standing in front of the power control. "Do your work. I'll be back with Wanda." He stay only long enough to watch Kara use her powers to engulf the power box before racing back to his sister then heading for the office. Kara was already there and waiting for them. Klaue had his gun in hand ready to attack or be attacked. Pietro was the first one in using his speed once again to take away Klaue's gun and place each bullet in a row on his desk. Once he came to a stop the girls walked in.

"Ahh. Strucker's prized pupils," Klaue sat down. "Want some candy?" Pietro and the girls stared at him. Are you crazy? "I'm sorry to here about Strucker, but then he knew what kind of work he was holding would create, human life on the black market." Pietro and Kara shared a look of confusion. "You didn't know? Is this your first time intimidating someone? I'm afraid that I'm not that afraid."

"Everyone's afraid of something." Wanda stepped out from the shadows.

"Cuttlefish." Klaue pointed at them. "Deep sea fish, they make lights, disco lights." Pietro rolled his eyes. "They hypnotize their prey and then boom. I saw a documentary. It was terrifying." I'm done with this. Pietro used his speed to run and grabbed a few pieces of candy. Klaue watched him in disbelief.

"Really? Are you kidding me?" Kara asked glaring at him. He shrugged.

"I got you a piece too." He tossed a piece at her. She smiled and Klaue continued.

"So if you're going to mess with my brain and make me see a giant cuttlefish, then I know you don't do business. And I know you're not in charge. And I only deal with the man in charge." Pietro smirked. Guess you should look behind you. Pietro pulled Kara out of the way before Ultron busted in through the window.

"There in no man in charge." Ultron's deep voice echoed in the small space. "Let's talk business."

Kara's POV
Klaue led us to a small door which opened to toxic waste. It then moved to show the biggest prize, Vibranium. Klaue handed it to Ultron. "Upon this rock I'll build my church." He tossed the tube of Vibranium at Pietro who lucky caught it.
"You know it came at great personal cost." Klaue rubbed the side of his neck. "It worth billions."

Ultron let out a dry laugh. "And now so are you." Klaue's man pulled out his phone and check it. "It's all under your dummy holdings, finance is so weird. But I always say keep your friends rich and your enemies Rich and find out which is which."

Klaue froze and stared at Ultron. "Stark?" Wanda grabbed my wrist and I grabbed Pietro's. Everyone trying to keep the others calm.

"What?" Ultron asked.

"Tony Stark used to say that to me." Klaue paused for a minute. "You are one of his."

"What? I AM NOT." Ultron was now furious. "I am not one of Stark's puppets" he grabbed Klaue's arm. "This hollow man. Do I look like Iron Man?" He chopped Klaue's hand off. We stood in awe of what just happened. What the hell. Why did he do that? Pietro shifted uncomfortably and in the process moving my hand from his wrist to his hand. He squeezed my hand and I did the same. It was a small comfort gesture.

"Ooh I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sure that's going to be alright. I just don't understand, don't compare me to Stark." Ultron's tone when from sympathetic to angry in a matter of seconds as he kicked Klaue done the stairs. "That is the thing with him. Stark is a menace."

"Ah junior. You're going to break your old mans heart." We turn around to see Tony Stark and the Avengers.

"If I have to." Wanda let go of my wrist and the three of us moved up to stand beside Ultron.

"We don't have to break anything." Thor, the alien avenger, spoke up.

"Clearly you've never made an omelette." Ultron said. I rolled my eyes.

"He beat me by one second." Stark glanced at Thor.

"Ah this is funny, Mr. Stark?" Pietro let go of my hand and walk forward a little bit. "It's what, comfortable? Like old times?" He motioned to the weapons.

"That was never my life." Stark responded. I can't believe him. I felt rage boil in my heart. He's lying right to their faces. My hands are engulfed by my black powers. I relaxed enough that my powers faded.

"You three can still walk away from this." Captain America spoke to the twins and I. Wanda took a step so that she was in line with her brother.

"Oh we will." She smirked.

"And you won't." I added on, also taking a step so that I was right next to Pietro.
