Finding Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch wasn't difficult; they had just caused chaos within the Avengers, so they were bound to still be in New York.

Flying over the city a few times, Roger quickly locked onto their location. Wanda and Pietro were hiding in an alley near several industrial buildings close to the outskirts of New York City. Another few blocks, and they'd be outside the city, though that would also expose them to satellite surveillance.

It was clear that after realizing Wanda had stirred up significant trouble, Pietro had immediately tried to get her out, only stopping here.

Still shaken, Wanda glanced around nervously and asked Pietro, "They... won't follow us, will they?"

"They shouldn't. You messed with the big guy's head, so they'll be too busy dealing with him to chase us," he replied.

Wanda breathed a small sigh of relief, but then her face clouded. "But... if the big guy went berserk, then the people nearby..."

Pietro fell silent.

Unlike their original comic storyline, where Ultron led them to take revenge, Wanda and Pietro had come to Tony without any plan this time. After escaping Hydra's control and avoiding their pursuit, they saw news related to Stark, got impulsive, and charged into Stark Tower, unprepared to face the Avengers.

Besides Thor, who hadn't returned to Earth yet, the Avengers, including Hawkeye, Banner, and Tony, were all at the Avengers HQ atop Stark Tower.

Captain America and Natasha, who were at S.H.I.E.L.D. for a briefing, rushed to the tower when they heard two superhumans had stormed in, leading to a full-on battle with Wanda and Pietro.

It wasn't a one-sided fight. Without Thor and caught off guard by the twins, the Avengers struggled to keep up with Quicksilver alone. But as battle-hardened veterans, they adapted quickly, and Hawkeye managed to predict Quicksilver's movements, stunning him with an electric arrow.

Seeing things turn dire, Wanda quickly used her powers to influence the Avengers' minds.

Except for Hawkeye, the others were all affected. Banner, the most susceptible, went berserk, leaping from Stark Tower. Tony immediately went after him to minimize the damage, while Wanda took advantage of the distraction to help the newly recovered Pietro escape, disappearing from the Avengers' sight.

What Roger had seen upon arriving was the aftermath.

Hawkeye, along with the dazed Cap and Natasha, returned to S.H.I.E.L.D. for backup. Tony fought the Hulk, struggling to contain the rampage, until Roger intervened.

The twins' reckless actions had nearly toppled the Avengers, and Wanda was now beginning to regret her decision to manipulate the Hulk. With the Hulk on a rampage, he attacked indiscriminately, and no one knew how many people might suffer or die because of this.

Hovering above them, Roger waited until he saw signs of regret in the two before landing in front of them.

His sudden appearance startled the twins, but Wanda soon recognized him and said, "It's you... you saved us that day..."

"That's right, I saved you that day. But now I wish I hadn't heard your call for help."

Roger's expression was blank as he spoke.

"You... already know...?" Wanda stammered, sensing the disappointment in his tone.

Roger sighed, confirming, "I just came back from Stark. What do you think?"
