"Two minutes. Stay close." Steve orders. "Dr. Cho!"

Dani, Natasha and Clint are in the Quinjet in South Korea where Dr Cho's lab is.

"He's uploading himself into the body." Dr Cho states.

"Where?" Steve questions.

"The real power is inside the Cradle. The gem, its power is uncontainable. You can't just blow it up. You have to get the Cradle to Stark." Cho explains.

"First I have to find it." Steve declares.

"Go." Cho says.

"Did you guys copy that?" Steve questions.

"We did." Clint states.

"I got a private jet taking off, across town," Natasha states. "No manifest."

"That could be him." Dani nods in agreement.

Dani then moves beside Clint. "There. It's a truck from the lab. Right above you, Cap. On the loop by the bridge." Clint states.

"It's them. I got three with the Cradle, one in the cab." Dani confirms for Steve, seeing what Clint was talking about.

"Negative! If that truck crashes, the gem could level the city. We need to draw out Ultron." Steve states.

"Well, he's definitely unhappy! I'm gonna try and keep him that way." Steve says.

"Yeah, You're not really much of a match for him, Cap." Dani points out with a slight smile.

"Thanks, Romanoff."

Dani and Natasha walk to where the bike is. The two look at eachother before both running to get to the driver's seat first.

"Ha, I win!" Dani says excitedly with a smile.

Natasha rolls her eyes. "In your dreams, kiddo."

Dani raises an eyebrow at her sister. "I'm what? 22?"

"You'll always be a kid to me and my baby sister." Natasha points out and gets behind Daniella.

"We got a window. Four, three…give 'em hell." Clint says and Dani drives towards the truck. Natasha picks up Steve's shield and Dani could read Natasha's mind so she knows what her sister did. The younger redhead smirks and says "We're always picking up after you boys."

"They're heading under the overpass, I've got no shot." Clint states.

"Which way?" Natasha questions.

"Hard right... Now." Clint says and Dani turns right.

"Out of the way, coming through! Sorry, coming through!" Dani says to the pedestrians in her way.

"Clint, can you draw out the guards?" Natasha questions.

"Let's find out." Clint says.

"Beep beep!" Dani says.

"Heading back towards you. So whatever you’re gonna do, do it now." Clint says.

"I'm go-" Natasha starts to be cut off by Dani.

"I'm going in. Cap, can you keep him occupied?" Dani says. 

"What do you think I've been doing?" Steve asks.

"Dani what are you doing?" Natasha questions.

Dani shrugs and says. "My powers gave me weird feeling about you going in, so I just don't want anything to happen to you."

"Your powers?" Natasha questions.

"Fine, I have a bad feeling and my gut is right most of the time anyway. Just trust me on this." Dani says.

"I don't think I can-" Natasha says to be cut off by Dani entering the truck and keeping the bike steady with her magic long enough for Natasha to take control of it.

"The package is airborne. I have a clean shot." Clint says.

"Negative. I am still in the truck." Dani says.

"What the hell are you?-" Clint questions in confusion.

"Just be ready, I'm sending the package to you." Dani says.

"How do you want me to take it?" Clint asks. 

"Uhh, you might wish you hadn't asked that." Dani says.

"I lost him! He's headed your way!" Steve states.

"Nat, we gotta go." Clint says.

Dani drops the cradle, but at the last moment Ultron grabs her foot and pulls her away.

'I'm sorry' Dani says in Natasha's mind.
