A/N: Avengers: Age of Ultron set (not really sure if it's Avengers 2 or 1) right there on media. 😍😍😍

"There are no strings on me." - Pinocchio (?)

-------------------------

"Please I beg you."

She didn't answer. Instead she stared at Hawkeye. Her eyes full of fear and hatred at the same time.

"Now remember the time I told you that no one's going to hurt you? That thing is still on and for as long as you are here, with them, you'll be safe and it's okay to talk about anything." Hawkeye explained, his voice soft.

She began to get teary-eyed as she heard Hawkeye. As soon as she dropped a tear, she began to open her mouth to speak.

"He... He's a-alive.." She mentioned in shaky words.

"He? Who he?" Hawkeye put his hands on her shoulders and once again, she stared at her in hate.

"I think we all know w-who I'm talking about." Then she nudged away Hawkeye's hands from her shoulders and looked away.

"You mean... Ultron?" Natasha spoke and the next thing, she went flying across the room.

"Hey, hey, hey, hey. Scarlet, calm down. Nat didn't mean that. Calm down. Please." Hawkeye pulled Wanda's arms back down and as soon as she realized her mistake, she quickly regretted it.

"I'm sorry. It's just that... He's not the same."

"Apology accepted. I was kinda expecting it anyways.. Ugh.. Um but what do you mean he's not the same?" Natasha got up and held on the side by Rhodes.

"He's just not. I tried to look inside his mind but... There was nothing. Something's blocking my mind from his and I don't know what it is. I'm not sure of what his intentions are. He's not even the same form as before. He's more human..."

"Okay Wanda, you can go and rest now, thank you for explaining it to us. Although do you have any idea where my sister or Vision might be?" Hawkeye replied and caused Scarlet to crinch at the word 'sister.'

"I'm sorry... I really am... I'm sorry I--"

"Shh, shh. It's okay. It's not your fault they're missing."

She stood up with force and looked at Clint in the eyes, "That's the point, I'm the reason why they're missing!" Everyone stared at her wide-eyed, trying to process what she just said.

"H.. How?" Hawkeye stuttered. He knew he couldn't get mad at her because he knew she had to have a valid reason.

"I didn't have a choice and Ultron was possessing some unknown force. He told me he'll get them, in exchange of letting me go. I... I didn't want that. I said no. I tried everything to stop him, but all I did was useless. When he got Fang after he got Vision, he told me my time was done and threw me out of wherever that was! I was thrown out with my head aching like there was no tomorrow!" She was breathing heavy and she was crying.

"See... I told you, it's not your fault." Hawkeye tried to keep his voice normal and hid his rage under him. He wasn't mad at Scarlet, but instead with Ultron for coming back once again.

"Vision.. He was powerful enough to surpass Ultron's strength. How'd he get him?" Rhodes interrupted the conversation and Wanda turned to face him.

"Oh... No... This Ultron... Is different. Much more than he was before. He got Vision and held him by the neck and Vision had no escape. He was choking, running out of breath just by that. I saw it and... Threw him to some kind of room. The room had the same abilities he had but I couldn't put my head around to whatever it was."

"How about Falcon?" Hawkeye added.

"Same room as Fang...."

"It's okay I promise everything's going to be alright in the end. Now go rest. Rhodes can you escort her back to her room please?" Rhodes nodded and guided Wanda out the room.

Hawkeye stood there, staring out to the open view in front of him. Wondering how was her sister. He clenched his fists. He knew they needed more help to get her back. It's time to put back the old Avengers and help the new ones.
