We blow up some sailboats.

         What is life? For some it can be having birthdays and an actual family. For me, it was hearing that Tony created a murder bot. My life was just awesome. After Spark and I separated again, I passed out again. The sunlight in my eyes woke me up pretty quick when I realized that when I passed out, it was nighttime. I whirled around and relaxed when I saw that I was in my bed. Only, something didn't feel right. Maybe it was the fact that I kept passing out. Maybe it was because I was still dizzy from those shots I'd had last night. Or maybe it was because there was a certain supersoldier passed out in my bed next to me. I'm going to go ahead and say it was the last one. I smiled and gently shook Steve awake. He bolted upright and calmed down when he saw me. 

          "You OK?" he asked frantically. 

          "I'm fine." I assured him. "Do I want to know how this happened or not?" He blushed and started stammering out 

             "We didn't, you know. I was just worried... I didn't mean to fall asleep-" 

             "Steve," I interrupted with a grin "I'm not mad, I was just making sure that you were OK." He visibly relaxed and slumped back against the pillows. 

             "Five more minutes," he said decisively "than we can go kill Tony for making Ultron." I giggled and cuddled up next to him as he wrapped an arm protectively around me. 

           "I love you." he whispered softly. 

         "Love you too." I said quietly.


          "Where have you two been?" Spark asked with an evil smirk on her face as Steve and I stumbled into the living room. I stuck my tongue out at her and she flipped me off.

           You so did it didn't you? 

          God, NO! We just hugged and made out, you know, what couples normally do.

          He slept with you! AW! My little Thalia's growing up. 

          First off, it wasn't like that. Second, I hate that you can read my mind. 

         This is just adorable. You and Steve are perfect for each other. 

          Since when did my love life become everyone who can read my minds business?

           Repeat what you just said and you'll figure it out. 

          Shut up. 

        "Are you three going to hold the conversation in your heads, or would you care to present to the class?" 

         "Knock it off Tony." Spark snapped. 

          "Do we even have any idea where Ultron is?" I asked, trying to stifle a yawn. 

          "Well we went through Strucker's known contacts. He was one of the guys you and Spark fried." he added upon seeing my confused face. "We found this one guy who has a brand from Wakanda." 

           "Where Vibranium's harvested." I said, instantly sitting upright. Tony nodded grimly and looked around at the rest of the room. 

          "We think we know where to find this guy, so get ready for a fight."


          "I hate your inventions Tony!" Spark and I screamed together as we shocked a robot out of the air. 

            "Can't you do the zap thingy?" Clint called. 

           "Not when the whole ship is metal! Especially since we're on water. Did you forget the sprinkler incident?" 

           "Well what do we do?" 

          "This is about all we ca-" We were cut off as a blissful feeling washed over us. Everything was blue and our master, Ultron was standing in front of us holding the scepter. 

          "I modified the scepter to control anyone." he said to the rest of the people, our enemies. "Go teach the city a lesson." he said. We nodded and sprinted out of the ship and toward the city. Everyone stared at us in fear as we used our powers to cause mayhem. We derailed metro rails, short circuited anything electric, and just basically started destroying the city. The two of us had to please Ultron. 

             "Spark!" a familiar voice cried. 

           "Thalia!" another voice, just as familiar, called. We turned and saw Pietro and Steve. They had betrayed us. Pretending to be there for us and then trying to stop Ultron. Spark and I sent a shock wave that sent the both of them flying through the air and crashing into a wall. We giggled gleefully and continued on our rampage. 

           "Thalia, Spark, I know you're in there!" Great. Spangles was back. We turned impatiently toward him and said 

          "You are standing in the way of progress. Ultron wants to help the world and you're trying to destroy that." Steve gave us one sad glance before slamming his shield against a fire hydrant that burst and sprayed us with water. We were in pain. It felt like everything was slowly being shocked to death. Ultron was going to be pissed.

            "Why? Just why did you have to make a sentient AI that's bent on killing the human race?" It only took a couple minutes to wake Spark and I up. Fortunately, the separating of our powers released the scepter's power over us. Now we were heading to Clint's safe house because quite a few people wanted to kill Spark and I. She was doing better than I was, sitting with Pietro and making out like there was no tomorrow. Being inside really sucked. Every time we separate I have to completely reform my body, and it was no picnic. I was currently pressed into the corner of the jet with Bruce and Steve trying to get me to talk. Wanda had attempted to use her powers but I blocked her out. I was still in my drenched clothes and was shivering like mad, but I didn't want to move. To move would mean that everything was OK, and it wasn't. I felt like I had had been opened up and all my darkest secrets had been exposed. Bruce finally gave up, giving me a kiss on my forehead before going to check on Nat. I so sensed some electricity happening there. Steve stayed next to me, whispering soothing phrases and trying to get me to talk. He finally noticed me shivering and his face grew concerned. He pressed his hand against my forehead and drew it back, looking concerned. 

            "Bruce, she's freezing. What do we do?" 

            "Try and warm her up, I'll be able to help her more when we get to wherever we're going." Steve nodded and adjusted me so that I was sitting in his lap. He stretched out the sweatshirt he was wearing and popped it over my head so that we were both inside it and I could get some body warmth. 

               "Can you just say one thing?" he pleaded. I bit my lip and whispered 

             "I hurt people." 

             "That wasn't you."

           "But I still hurt them." Even if I had been controlled, it didn't make a difference. People were injured because I had let Ultron get the upper hand.
