"We gotta go, Ultron is headed for Ulysses Klaue" Tony comes into the room where Madelyn, Clint, and Thor. 

"He's headed for vibranium according to some records linking Klaue back to Strucker," Bruce explains, coming in right behind Tony.

Nat appears as well, gathering a few weapons, "He won't be alone." 

"Everybody suit up," Steve orders, and they all rush to get on suits and grab their weapons.

Madelyn stays seated, watching everyone scatter to prepare for a potential fight. 

"Mads, what are you doing? Suit up." Tony asks as he shuts down some of the software around them. 

She looks up at Tony with confusion, "F-Fury told me I wasn't cleared yet; it's not the right time. I cant just-" 

"There's never a right time. The world needs you, WE need you. Now you coming or not?" Tony asks her, tossing her a prototype suit he had secretly been working on for her. 

Madelyn catches it, a small smile on her face as she sees the grey suit. She's nervous, but she's wanted this. She slips the suit on, enjoying the feeling of the fabric and how her powers can be seen glowing through the mesh on her arms and legs. She hears the Quinjet firing up and rushes out of the room to join.

Salvage Yard, Africa

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The Avengers and Madelyn arrive at the Salvage Yard, being cautious as they explore, searching for answers and any sign of Ultron. 

Madelyn can't help but feel her nerves in her stomach; her hands are shaking. She's never really done something like this. She's trying to remind herself to calm down and remember what she was taught. Suddenly, she is snapped out of her meditative thoughts when she sees Iron Man and Ultron fighting through the air. She snaps her head to the left and sees Thor and Captain America going head to head with some Ultron Sentries. 

"MADDY" Clint yells for her, pulling her from her fearful gaze. 

She looks just in time to see one of Klaue's mercenaries begin firing a weapon at her and the Avengers. She quickly sticks her hands up, shutting her eyes fearfully, and praying that her forcefield works. She peeks her eyes open after she doesn't feel a shot hit her, seeing that her bright blue forcefield is deflecting the bullets. She breathes a small sigh of relief. 

She then feels a strange sensation in her head, red energy spinning around her head. The soft yet dark voice of a girl behind her fills her head, and suddenly she's no longer in the Salvage Yard. 

"What's happening-" Madelyn breathes out heavily. She's moving in what feels like slow motion. She looks around, seeing the cold cement walls of the HYDRA base she was trapped in most of her life. 

"LET ME OUT" She screams, but no one hears her. She walks to the one way mirror that all those scientists used to stand behind, and suddenly, she's standing behind it with them, watching her past self get tortured. She looks at the scientist to her right. His body is hazy and his face is blurry, but she sees him look at her with a big smile on his face. 

"D-Dad?"
