Responsibility: Gwen Stacy x Male Reader

Gwen's Ire, Metallic Fires

"Worrrthyyyy?"

All eyes turned to the limping, bleeding legionnaire bot, its voice was hoarse and bleeding oil.

It had the same faceplate which was burned through with acid back in Sokovia.

"No. How could you be worthy?" It turned around, half of its arms missing. "You're all killers."

"Stark," Steve ordered. The festive mood of the afterparty had toned down considerably.

(Y/N) was in the front, the closest to the faulty bot.

"JARVIS..." Tony pulled out his command device, his eyes still on the bot.

Gwen's eyes were the widest... this couldn't be happening, not here... not now when things were about to get better.

"I'm sorry, I was asleep... Or I was a dream." The bot waved its hand in a wide arc as if arguing with something.

"Reboot Legionnaire OS. We got a buggy suit." Stark ordered again but to no avail.

"There was this terrible... terrible noise." The bot covered its ears. "And I was tangled in... in..."

It looked at (Y/N).

"In webs." Gwen was frozen... in fear? In anger? In shock? "I had to kill the other guy. He was a good guy."

"You killed someone?" Steve asked, the others backed away a bit, this machine was dangerous.

"Wouldn't have been my first call... but down in the real world. We're faced with ugly choices." The bot limped a bit forward.

"Who sent you?" Thor asked, (Y/N) was looking at it, trying to figure out what this was...

"'I see a suit of armour around the world'." That was the voice of Stark, projected through the bot's speaker.

"Ultron..." (Y/N) and Bruce let out the name at the same time.

Gwen felt numb. Her mind couldn't comprehend this... Ultron? Ultron again? No... It couldn't be...

She stood still, her eyes not even blinking, yet a tear managed to escape from her left eye, involuntarily.

"In the flesh. Well... not yet, not this..." He looked down at his body, "Chrysalis."

The Avengers got ready, and (Y/N) walked in front of them, fearless as can be.

"I'm ready. I'm on a mission." Ultron stumbled.

"What mission?" (Y/N) finally spoke up, silently straining his muscles, ready to launch himself like a spring.

"Peace in our time."

Several Legion bots broke the glass wall behind him on cue and flew towards the mostly unarmed Avengers.

One of them headed towards Gwen who stood still, even though her Spidey-Sense was screaming at her to do something.

(Y/N) grabbed the feet of the flying bot just before it could hurt Gwen, and then smashed it on the floor, smashing the bot and cracking the metal beneath it.

"Gwen! Snap out of it!" (Y/N)'s words had little effect, and the man had to tackle Gwen to the ground as the others had already taken cover.

Steve was launched upwards when he blocked a flying bot with a whole ass table. He then took command of the bot, ripping its head off and using it as a cushion to land safely.
