The Age of Miracles (Maximoff Twins)

Chapter 14 - Different Motives

Pietro brought his sister back to the weapon dealer's building and they sat down in the office, waiting for Ultron to come back for them. Wanda's head pounded against her skull. She was sitting against the wall with her knees to her chest. She had her head down and her eyes shut tightly. Pietro stood up and started pacing. The Avengers. He scowled. He bet they thought they had won, just because they took out his sister. If anything, that was just another reason that they were going to lose. He stopped in his tracks when he heard Wanda whimper in the corner. She was trying not to. She didn't want to make Pietro think she wasn't okay. She wasn't, but he didn't need to know that. He walked over to her and sat beside her, trying to think of something he could do. He wrapped an arm around her shaking shoulders and she leaned on him. He just sat there, rubbing her arm.

The door was broken down and they jumped up, Pietro standing in front of Wanda. Ultron walked in. They both let out a sigh of relief and Pietro noticed Wanda swaying. He grabbed her arm, trying not to make it look like she was hurt.

"We have what we need."

"For what?" The twins were never really told the whole plan.

"A crucial part in the Avengers demise."

They shared a skeptical look before following him.

---------------------

They entered a lab in Korea. A bunch of doctors were rushing around taking orders from a tall, beautiful woman. She walked into the room they were standing in, and Wanda retreated back into the shadows of the room, making Piero sigh. She was always too careful, afraid of doing something wrong. She did nothing until she was told to do something.

"Scream and your entire staff dies." Ultron threatened.

He hypnotized the doctor, Helen Cho, and she started using the Vibranium they had to make a body using the Regeneration Cradle. Ultron took a gem from the scepter and put it in the head. The twins watched in confusion as they went on with the process. Pietro had pulled Wanda out of the corner to stand beside him.

How are you feeling?

I think it's gone away.

He believed her. She looked better. But he didn't let go of her arm, knowing full well she would go right back to the corner. He never understood how she could just disappear wherever there was a shadow. He guessed it had something to do with her abilities. He thought about it often.

"I can read him," She said softly, stepping forwards "He's...dreaming."

"I wouldn't call it dreams, " Dr. Cho said patiently. "It's Ultron's base consciousness. Informational noise." She explained. Pietro watched as Wanda walked up to the cradle, ignoring the conversation happening in front of her. She reached out and put her hands on the surface of the cradle, closed her eyes and tilted her head. He focused back on Ultron and the doctor.

After a few seconds, Wanda screamed, stepping back from the cradle. Pietro rushed to her. She looked around frantically, breathing heavy. She looked up at her brother, opening her mouth as if she was going to say something. He put his hand up to her face and shook his head. She took a deep breath and turned to Ultron. Pietro kept trying to calm her down, hold her back but she stepped forward confronting the robot.

"How could you?"

"How could I what?"

"You said," She pushed her brother away, but he held onto her hands. "We would destroy the Avengers. Make a better world-"

"It will be better."

"When everyone is dead?" Pietro stood up straight and let go of her, turning to face Ultron.

"That is not...! The human race will have every opportunity to improve." Pietro finally realized what was happening.

"And if they don't?"

"Ask Noah." He said darkly.

"You're a mad man." Wanda stated.

"There were more than a dozen..."

What have I done?

Wanda, you didn't do anything.

We just sealed the world's fate.

Sestra, please listen. This wasn't our fault, we'll fix this.

How?

I don't know. We will figure this out, I promise.

"There's no room for...the weak."

"And who decides who weak?" Pietro asked.

"Life," He laughed maniacally. "Life always decides."

Wanda flicked her wrist, releasing Helen from the trance.

Ultron looked up suddenly. "We have incoming. The Quinjet...We have to move"

Pietro walked over to his sister and kissed her head. "We'll figure this out, okay?" He whispered. She nodded.

"Don't worry, that's not a problem." They watched as Dr. Cho paused the upload. Ultron sighed and shot her. His other robots shot the rest of the staff in the room. Pietro grabbed his sister and ran as quickly as he could.
