Run to You|Pietro Maximoff

Chapter Two

"There's one crucial thing that we need for our plan." Ultron told them. "Vibranium. And there's only one place we can get it. There's a man off the coast of Africa named Ulysses Klaue. He can get it for us, so that's where we're going to go."

They loaded onto the jet, and soon they were flying towards Africa. "Pietro," Ira asked him, "Do you trust Ultron?" She glanced towards him in the pilot's seat.

"It doesn't matter if we trust him, we're working towards the same goal. He's helping us, and we're helping him. Do you trust me?" He asked her.

She nodded. "With my life."

"Than trust that I know what I'm doing."

"Well then, I'm blaming you if this goes poorly." She joked. Pietro rolled his eyes, and smiled.

They spent the rest of the trip in a comfortable silence, Ira's fears briefly eased by Pietro. When they landed, they walked out of the ship. "There," Ira said, and pointed towards a large freight ship. "The Churchill."

"That's where Klaue is." Ultron said. "I'll wait here, and one of my robots can give me the signal to make my... dramatic entrance." They nodded, and then the Enhanced went inside. There were workers everywhere, doing everything from welding to stacking crates. Pipes lay in piles on the ground, and yellow crates lay next to them.

In the corner of the ship was a small glass box, Klaue's office. Wanda used her powers so that none of the soldiers saw them as they made their way to the office. Klaue was yelling on the phone to someone. "-Or the next missile I send you will come very much faster." He ended the call, then called someone else. "Now, Minister, where were we?"

Just then the lights went out, and shouts were heard from outside. Flashlights turned on, and beams swept through the dark. Klaue grabbed a gun, and slowly crept towards the door. Ira pointed it out to Pietro, and he sped over after Klaue fired a shot. He lined the bullets up neatly on Klaue's desk, before coming back to stand by Ira, Emilia, and Wanda.

"Yeah, the Enhanced. Strucker's prized pupils." He sat down, and picked up a dish. "Want a candy?"

"We don't want your candy," Emilia spat.

Klaue ignored her. "Oh, sorry to hear about Strucker. But then, he new what kind of world he was helping create. Human life, not a growth market." Ira looked at the others. Strucker was dead?

"You... you didn't know?" He asked, seeing their confused expressions. "Is this your first time intimidating someone? I'm afraid that I'm not that afraid."

"Everybody's afraid of something," Wanda told him.

"Cuttlefish." Klaue stated. "Deep sea fish. They make lights, disco lights. Whoom, whoom, whoom, to hypnotize their prey, and then whoom!" He snapped his fist closed in a swooping motion. "I saw a documentary, it was terrifying."

Pietro sped forward and grabbed a piece of candy, and Klaue jerked back. Pietro handed a piece of candy to Ira, before unwrapping his and popping it in his mouth. She did the same.

"So if you're going to fiddle with my brain, and make me see a giant cuttlefish, then I know you don't do business, and I know you're not in charge," Klaue continued. "And I only deal with the man in charge." He stood up, and Ira saw Ultron rise up behind him through the glass.

He suddenly burst through the glass, and pushed Klaue to the ground. "There is no 'man' in charge." He leaned low over Klaue. "Let's talk business." Klaue stumbled to his feet. "We need Vibranium, and you have it. Let's make a deal."

Klaue led them to a heavy metal door. His henchman pulled open the door, to reveal barrels of toxic waste. The shelves holding the waste moved down, to reveal glowing blue canisters of Vibranium. Klaue pulled out a canister, and handed it to Ultron.
