"He's a sickness!"

"Oh, Junior. You're gonna break your old man's heart." Tony said flying down in his Iron Man suit while Steve, Thor, and I walked up behind Ultron and the two siblings.

"If I have to." Ultron responds, turning and facing us.

"Nobody has to break anything." Thor assured.

"Clearly you've never made an omelet." Ultron retorted.

"He beat me by one second." Tony jumped in.

"Stark..." I warned.

"Ah, yes. He's funny." The silver-haired male beside Ultron stated. "Mr. Stark. It's what? Comfortable? Like old times?" He stared below the catwalk we were on to the missiles in the crates below us.

"This was never my life." Tony trailed off.

"You two can still walk away from this." Steve said, taking charge.

"Oh, we will." The woman said.

"I know you've suffered." Steve continued.

Ultron scoffed. "Captain America. God's righteous man. Pretending you could live without a war. I can't physically throw up in my mouth, but..."

Ultron really does sound like Tony.

"If you believe in peace, then let us keep it." Thor interrupted.

"I think you're confusing peace with quiet." Ultron shot back.

"What's the vibranium for then?" I jumped in.

"I'm glad you asked that, because I wanted to take this time to explain my evil plan." Ultron said, before shooting orange rays at Tony. I quickly jumped out of the way to avoid being thrown backwards into the steel wall like he was.

Tony flew forward at Ultron and ended up taking that fight into the air, while I was distracted by one of Ultron's robots attacking me. The robot grabbed at me and pushed me against the catwalk railing. I ducked and threw my shoulder into its chest plate and flipped it over the railing before turning to the siblings.

The silver-haired male speed-ran at Thor, knocking him back, while Steve and I ran at the woman, but were flown back by red mist that she was manipulating.

Gunfire started going off immediately after. My guess was the henchmen for the person supplying Ultron the vibranium. I ducked as much as I could to avoid being hit by a bullet. More robots started swarming us and I was too distracted by them that I didn't notice the blue blur that whizzed past Steve up to me, punching me in the face before I could react.

My head whipped back in pain, and I fell to the floor of the catwalk and clutched my nose. As fast as the blur rushed past me, it was sent the opposite way. The enhanced male grabbed Thor's hammer and was sent flying backwards and over the railing to the level below.

"Stupid kid." I muttered, getting back up.

I leapt over the railing to the level below and grabbed Steve's shield as it came at me through the air and walked up to the kid, who was trying to get back up after crashing into a bunch of crates.

"Stay down, kid." I said as I hit him in the face with Steve's shield. It may have been petty, but I was still a little upset that he went out of his way to punch me in the face. Karma's a bitch. He fell back against the crates, his head bobbing as he looked to be in a daze. If I had cared that much, I would have worried whether I gave him a concussion or not. I threw the shield back at Steve, who caught it just in time.

"Thor, status." Steve asked through our comms.

"The girl tried to warp my mind. Take special care." Thor advised. "I doubt a human could keep her at bay."
