The huntress

The Simple Life

The jet flew through the sky for a couple more hours, heading towards what Clint says is a safe house. I was awake the entire time, unable and too afraid to go back to sleep, scared another vision will come.

I couldn't stop thinking about the purple being, he wilded a gauntlet that had only one gem on it. A sense of evil radiating off of him, his mind turned and believing what he was doing was right, as if he was trying to save the universe by ending it. A typical villain.

Maybe he is a villain in our story, but a hero in his own. This world is so messed up, one murder makes you a villain, hundreds make you a hero. People idolise the heroes like Captain America and Iron man but fear the Hulk and I, just because they are afraid of what we can do and how we do it.

We make our own villains. We shun them, mock them, humiliate them. We create the very thing we fear. Theres an old saying, 'the child who is not embraced by the village will burn it down to feel its warmth.' Maybe trying to kill everyone in existence is a bit far fetched but its possible that he has a reason for wanting to do so. 

._~_.

The jet landed on an old farm. Green grass could be seen for miles away. The farm wasn't anything special, a small house and a barn, not a lot of animals, really quiet.

The entire team slowly walked out of the jet and towards the house, suspicion growing in all if us as we followed behind Clint. "What is this place?" Thor asked cautiously, "Safe house?" "Lets hope so."

Clint slowly opened the door, letting us all in. "Honey, I'm home." Clint called out through the house as we walked onto the living room. A pregnant woman appears in the room, stopping and gapping as she notices us. 

Barton slowly walks towards the woman, wrapping an arm around her. "Hi. Company. Sorry I didn't call ahead." "Hey." The woman breathed out before kissing Clint.

"This is an agent of some kind." My father stated, not believing what was in front of him. I elbowed him in the side before giving the woman a smile, earning a glare from my father in the process.

"Gentleman, this is Laura." The guys in the room just look at her awkwardly. "I know all your names." Laura said, addressing everyone in the room, only making it more awkward and weird. Two sets of feet were heard patting on the ground making their way towards the living room. 

"Ooh, incoming.""Dad!" A girl and a boy run into the room and towards Clint, him picking up the girl in his arms and rubbing his son's head. "Hey, buddy! How you guys doing?"

"These are...smaller agents." My father stated again, still refusing to believe. "How come we're not like that?" I pointed out, "Because your never excited to see me when I come home." "Your tiering sometimes."

"Did you bring aunty Nat?" The girl asked. Natasha came out of her corner, a smile on her face. "Why don't you hug her and find out." The girl runs into Nat's arms and hugged the red head tightly.

"Sorry for barging in on you."Cap spoke up, finally coming out of his little shock. "We would've called ahead, but we were too busy having no idea you existed." Dad spoke flatly, earning another elbow to the side from me. "Yeah, well Fury helped me set this up when I joined. He kept it off SHIEL's files, i'd like to keep it that way. I figure its a good place to lay low."

Natasha goes up to great Laura, placing her hands on the baby bump. A small crunch behind me stole my attention, Thor kicked away some broken pieces of lego as Steve gave him a questioning look. Without a seconds thought Thor marched out of the house, me following suit with Steve behind me.

"Thor." The god turned around to face us, "I saw something in that dream, I know you did too, Mackenzie. I need answers, I won't find the here." He soon his hammer and lifted himself off the ground, flying away from the farm.

._~_.

I sat on top of the house's roof, looking down at my father and Steve chopping wood. A pain shot up through my entire body, I wanted to scream but I couldn't, not a single sound erupted from my lips.

"They'll always fear you."

My hands covered my ears as more and more pain erupted within me, black veins appearing all over my body, blood pouring out of my mouth.

"Who can love a child that so dangerous?"

I wanted to scream but I couldn't, it felt as if something was gaging me. A females voice was the only thing I could hear, whispering things in my ear.

"You could've saved the world, but instead you just let it happen."

I finally let out a scream as I fell of the roof, Landing hard on the ground beneath. Steve and Clint came rushing to my side as blood kept coming out of my mouth. "Whats happening to her?" Out of the corner of my eye I could see Clint's two kids look at me, fear in their eyes.

The blood soon stopped pouring and the veins disappeared. "What was that?" Steve questioned cautiously as he knelt down to me. "I..I.. I don't know, it was... something." Worried looks were plastered on both of their faces. 

"Miss Stark." I turned my head to see both my father and Fury looking at me, worried and confused expressions on their faces. I closed my eyes and winced, probably going to be getting another lecture or something from Fury.

._~_.

So Fury didn't give me a lecture, or anything for that matter. All I got from the man was a sympathetic look as he walked past me.

The ex director of SHIELD stood in the kitchen, trying to figure out this whole mess and one up with a way to fix it.

"...Back in the day, I had eyes everywhere, ears everywhere else. Here we all are, back on earth, with nothing but our wit and our will to save the world. So stand. Outwit the platinum bastard." Fury exclaimed, trying to motivate us. "Steve doesn't like that kind of talk." "You know what Romanoff?" The red head gave the soldier a cheeky smile before fury spoke up again.

"So what does he want?" "To become better. Better than us. He keeps building bodies." Steve answered. "Person bodies. The human body is inefficient, biologically speaking, we're outmoded. But he keeps coming back to it" My father continued for the soldier.

"When you two programmed him to protect the human race, you amazingly failed." Nat teased. Bruce waled towards the table, eyeing a butterfly drawing. "They don't need to be protected, they need to evolve. Ultrons going to evolve." "How?"

"Has anyone been in contact with Helen Cho?"

._~_.

Steve, Clint, Nat and I all made our way to the jet, me only coming along incase something goes wrong. Something probably will go wrong but hopefully nothing too bad happens.
