THE THREE HELD each other's hands as they approached the church. A large metal fence surrounded it but they snuck through a large hole in it. Cautiously, they walked inside, seeing a large person with a red cowl on their head sitting on the throne in the center.

Wanda stepped forward. "Talk. And if you are wasting our time -"

"Did you know this church is built in the exact center of the city?" the person said in a smooth tone. But that was an eerie twinge about it, something unnatural. "The elders decreed it so that everyone could be equally close to God. I like that. The geometry of belief." He paused for a second. "You're wondering why you can't look inside my head."

And he was right. Both Wanda and Cara tried to examine his thoughts and shift through his memories but instead found nothing. "Sometimes it's hard," Wanda said. "But sooner or later, every man shows himself."

The man stood up, the cowl falling onto the floor. Instead of seeing a human face, the three saw a metal face with a glowing red eyes. They saw a metal body with metal limbs. Pietro and Cara took a step back but Wanda held her ground, looking at him warily. "Oh, I'm sure they do. But you needed something more than a man. That's why you let Stark take the scepter." The robot took large steps towards them as he spoke.

"I didn't expect. But I saw Stark's fear," the Sokovian girl said in a confident tone, "I knew it would control him, make him self-destruct."

"Everyone creates the thing they dread," Ultron said as he walked away from them. "Men of peace create engines of war, invaders create Avengers, people create...smaller people? Uh, children! Lost the word there. Children, designed to supplant them, to help them end."

"Is that why you've come?" Cara stepped forward, removing herself from Pietro's grasp. "To end the Avengers?"

"I've come to save the world, but also, yeah."

A/N: I do realize that is short but I have updated two other chapters so I think you guys can survive with this. But yay, they met Ultron! I couldn't mix it together with Chapter Nine cause it's pretty long, I think. I'll get back to you guys on Friday. Bye guys!
