I woke up from a nap and got put of bed carefully due to the pain. I changed into jeans and a sweater and walked out of the room to see if everyone was okay. For all I know someone could be fighting with another due to Tony creating Ultron. I entered the lab earning a small smile from Natasha and Clint.
"He didn't say 'dead' " Steve said, "He said extinct."
"He also said something about having killed someone" Clint said as I stood beside Steve.
"But there wasn't anyone else in the building" Hill said.
"Yes, there was" Tony said showing us the image he was looking at. It was an image of JARVIS ,Tony's A.I system, Jarvis's data matrix had been clearly ripped apart. The whole system was flickering. All do us knew what this meant. Jarvis ,their constant companion, was a fatality of Ultron's attack. There was a moment of grim silence until Bruce broke it.
"This is insane" he said.
"JARVIS was our first line of defense," Steve said thinking tactically, "He would have shut Ultron down. It makes sense."
"No, Ultron could've just assimilated JARVIS into himself," Bruce explained, "this isn't strategy. This is rage."
Just then, Thor rushed into the room wearing his full battle armor. He grabbed Tony Stark by the neck backing him through lab equipment and up against the wall.
"Use your words buddy" said Tony.
"I have more than enough words to describe you, Stark" Thor huffed.
Steve stepped up trying to defuse the situation, "Thor... The Legionnaire?"
"The trail went cold one hundred miles out. He's headed north... and he has the scepter" Thor responded to Steve without putting Tony down.
"This is the magical alien scepter that controls minds, creates enhanced people, and makes angry machines come to life- have I got that right?" asked Rhodey.
"Technically it's the stone inside," Bruce pointed out, "the scepter is just a receptacle."
Rhodey gave Bruce a blank look.
"But uh.... I guess that's not your point" Bruce said.
"We have to retrieve it again" Thor was quick to say.
"Yeah,  but the genie's out of the bottle" Natasha said.
"The clear and present danger is Ultron" I said.
"If we find one, we find the other" Steve said, "which means that Ultron still needs the stone for something. Any ideas Stark?"
Tony looked up and said nothing.
"I don't understand something ,Tony," said Dr Cho, "it's your program. Did you program it to kill us?"
"And if he's so bent on killing us, why didn't he?" I asked.
"He could've blown up the whole building taking most of us out. Instead he attacks us head-on?" Steve asked.
"It wasn't an attack" Thor grimaced.
"It felt very much like an attack" said Rhodey.
"It was an invitation" Thor said putting Tony down.
"Or a distraction" Hill said.
At that moment, Tony laughed out loud earning us to look at him. "You think this is funny?" Thor asked angrily.
"No" said Tony honestly, "it's very terrible."
Thor was back in Tony's face. "And it could have been avoided if you hadn't-"
"No! Wrong!" said Tony, returning Thor's aggression. "There's a million different scenarios that could have played out, but if you think any of them involves us getting out of a fight, then I change my answer to yes, this is funny."
Bruce tried to calm his friend down. "Tony, this might not be the time to-"
"Really? That's it? You just roll over and show your belly every time somebody snarls at what we were doing?" Tony said cutting him off.
"Only when I've just created a murder-bot!" Bruce said.
"We didn't!" Tony shouted, "we weren't even close to an interface."
"Well you did something," Steve observed, "you did it right here, keeping it secret from the rest of us. The Avengers were supposed to be different than SHIELD."
Tony's face flushed with anger. "Does anyone remember when I carried a nuke through a worm hole and saved New York?" Tony asked.
"Wow, no, it's never come up" Rhodey said dryly.
Tony ignored him and continued, "A portal opened to another galaxy, to a hostile alien army, and we were standing 300 feet below it. Whatever happens on Earth, that up there's the endgame. How were you guys planning on beating that?"
"Together" said Steve firmly.
"We'll lose" Tony said with a serious look.
Steve was unfazed. "Then we'll do that together, too."
Tony seemed unconvinced by Steve's words, Steve turned to the rest of us, "Thor's right. Ultron's calling us out. I'd like to find him before he's ready for us."
The others nodded to one another, knowing he was right.
"It's a big world, guys," Steve continued. "Let's start making it smaller."
I exited the room and looked out the window staring at the large buildings of New York City. I felt a presence behind me so I turned to see Steve.
"Sorry if I scared you" he said calmly before joining be at the window.
"It's fine" I said.
"How's your back?" He asked.
"It hurts a little but not as much as I did before" I said wishing I could try and read my sisters thoughts from here.
"You're wondering why you can't look inside my head" Ultron said.
"Sometimes it's hard. But sooner or later every man shows himself" Wanda said.
"Oh, I'm sure they do. But you needed something more than a man. That's why you let Stark take the scepter" Ultron stands up revealing his new body.
"I didn't expect... But I saw Stark's fear. I knew it would control him, make him self-destruct." Wanda said.
"Everyone creates the thing they dread. Men of peace create engines of war, invaders create avengers. People create... smaller people? Uhh... children!" Ultron said as he chuckles, "Lost the word there. Children, designed to supplant them. To help them... end."
"Are you okay?!" Steve asked since I didn't answer his question I didn't remember.
"U-Ultron has a new body. H-he requested Wanda and Pietro for their help" I said shaking after seeing the vision.
"What do you mean?" He asked quickly.
"I saw a vision. They were at a church. I-I don't know where. It l-looked familiar but I couldn't find anything else" I said as another vision flashed in my mind.
"Is that why you've come, to end the Avengers?" Wanda asked.
"I've come to save the world! But, also... yeah" Ultron said.
"He's going to e-end the Avengers" I said holding onto Steve for standing support.
"Come on" Steve said helping me walk. I can't believe my siblings would do that. I tried sending a message to Wanda.

Wanda's P.O.V
After agreeing to Ultron I sat down on the steps of the church with Pietro. "I miss her" Pietro said.
"I do too. The Avengers probably killed her for all we know" I said trying to read my sisters thoughts.
"He's going to e-end the Avengers" She said holding onto Steve for standing support.
"Come on" Steve said helping her walk.
"She's alive" I said quickly, "she knows Ultron is planning to end the Avengers. She saw our conversation."
"She is a sneaky one" Pietro said.
"She's clever" I said as my head started hurting. she was sending a message.
"Please. Wanda don't listen to Ultron. I'm safe" said the message she had sent me. I felt tears in my eyes hearing her sweet voice.
"She's safe" I said then another vision flashed in my head.
A robot charged at her when she was distracted and blasted her making her flying back and hit the wall. Her back hit the wall and a sharp pain shot up her back from the bruise she had gotten from Captain America. There was only one robot left and without hesitation the captain threw his shield strait at its neck decapitating the robot.
"She has a large bruise on her back from The Captain throwing his shield at her. But it started to get bigger when her back hit the wall during a fight against a robot controlled by Ultron" I said staring off into space.
"She's strong" Pietro said.
"Yes she is. We need her back with us" I said.
"We'll have to find a way to get her home" Pietro said with a sad smile. We want our little sister back. We'll do anything to get her home.
