I'm Grant Ward

Chapter 149: A New Beginning

The year was 2015, and the world was on the brink of collapse. The threat posed by Ultron, an artificial intelligence created by Stark, was becoming increasingly real. Ultron, who was initially supposed to be a guardian of peace, had become a deadly enemy, with a plan that included the destruction of humanity. It was a sunny day in New York, but the tension in the air was palpable as the Avengers prepared for battle.

Ward and Maria Hill were in the Avengers operations center, coordinating strategies. Maria, with her focused gaze, watched the monitors that showed the movements of Ultron and his creations. Ward was at her side, his presence a comfort amidst the chaos.

"We need to act fast. If Ultron manages to activate the Sokovia evacuation plan, we will have a bigger problem on our hands," Maria said, her tone determined.

Ward nodded, sensing the gravity of the situation. He turned to the other members of the team, including Wanda and Pietro Maximoff, who had joined them in the fight.

"Wanda, do you feel his presence? Any idea where he is?" Ward asked.

Wanda closed her eyes for a moment, concentrating.

"He's moving fast. He's creating a body for himself out of vibranium. We need to stop him before he completes it," she replied, opening her eyes, now filled with determination.

Tony Stark, who had lost Jarvis, his friend and virtual assistant, was struggling with his own grief as he tried to fix what he had done.

"I'm starting to think Ultron isn't just a technology problem, but an ethical one," he murmured, looking at the data on his screen. "I did this. I need to fix it."

"What you need is a plan," Maria intervened, her gaze firm. "Let's work together to stop this."

With that, the team organized themselves. As they prepared for the final battle, the sense of urgency was in each of them.

The battle against Ultron was about to begin. Ward, Maria, and the Avengers were in Sokovia, where Ultron had created a battlefield. The clouds were heavy, and the tension in the air was palpable. The streets were deserted, except for Ultron's drones circling, ready to attack.

"Wanda, keep an eye out for the drones. You can disable them before they reach us," Steve Rogers, Captain America, ordered.

Wanda nodded, focusing her energy on one of the approaching drones. Meanwhile, Ward and Maria positioned themselves together, ready to combat any threat that appeared.

"What do you think he's planning?" Ward asked, his expression serious.

"Something terrible," Maria replied, concern visible on her face. "We need to stop him from blowing Sokovia away. If he does, the loss of life will be immense."

The Avengers began to move. The fight intensified as Ultron's drones attacked, firing lasers at the heroes. Ward and Maria teamed up, working in perfect sync to neutralize the drones that were coming towards them.

"Now, it's your turn," Ward said, giving Wanda space.

Wanda raised her hand, using her powers to deflect the lasers and destroy several drones at once. The sound of metal breaking echoed as the drones fell.

"This is just the beginning!" she shouted, with a determined smile.

The battle continued, and the team was approaching the point where Ultron was hiding. With the battlefield intensifying, the Avengers needed to act quickly.

Eventually, the team found themselves facing Ultron, who was in an impressive vibranium body. His voice reverberated in the air, full of contempt.

"Humans! Always so predictable. Do you really think you can stop me?" he laughed, his tone disdainful.
