Avengers Initiative: Percy Jackson

Mind Tricks (Or The One With Vibranium)

They found them on a cargo ship of the coast of Africa.

Tony flew in ahead of everyone else, landing inside the hull, just as Ultron started his rant. Natasha, Clint came in at opposite end, covering Tony's front, while Thor and Steve flanked him, covering his back. Percy stood a floor up, silently watching from the shadows with Loki and Stiles. Victoria and Enya were back with Bruce on the Quinjet, waiting as backup.

"You're gonna break you're old man's heart." Tony quipped at his creation.

Ultron smirked. "If I have to."

Thor stepped forward. "We don't have to break anything." Ultron scoffed and gestured to him.

"Clearly you've never made an omelet."

"He beat me by one second." Tony muttered, causing Thor to look at him incredulously.

"Ah, this is funny, Mr. Stark." Pietro began, walking out from behind Ultron so the billionaire could see him. His tone was mocking and angry. "It's what, comfortable? Like, old times, yes?" He gestured to the missiles below them. "Merchant of Death." He clicked his tongue.

Tony shook his head. "This was never my life."

"You two can still walk away from this." Steve warned, trying to bring the attention away from Tony. He couldn't afford to have Tony distracted during this.

Ultron groaned. "Captain America, God's righteous man! Pretending you could live with war." Ultron put his hand to his throat and continued. "I can't physically throw up in my mouth, but..." He mimed it, feeling disgusted at the All American hero in front of him. Worms.

"If you believe in peace, then let us keep it." Thor stated, gripping his hammer tightly.

"I think you're confusing peace with quiet." Ultron responded.

"Yuh-huh. What's the Vibranium for?" Tony asked, skeptically.

"I'm glad you asked," Ultron said, pointedly. "Because, I wanted to take this moment to explain my evil plan!" He made a quick gesture with his hand and suddenly the Iron Legion bots were swarming the area.

Tony blasted a couple away from him before taking off after Ultron. Pietro used his powers to strike Steve over and over again, before the Captain hit him with his shield, knocking the wind out of him and making him dizzy.

"Stay down, kid." Steve said, staring down at the silver haired man. Pietro sneered at him, rubbing the back of his head, where it had met the ground.

Ultron tossed Stark off the catwalk and onto the bottom floor. He turned to Wanda, who was in the shadows. "It's time for some mind games." He said, eyes glowing a deeper red. She nodded and back away silently into the shadows.

"I don't like being in here while those mutant children are there. That girl can really fuck with people." Victoria said, chewing on her nails. Her leg was jiggling nervously. The sounds of a fight were coming through over the speaker system and it was making the three of them antsy.

Bruce nodded and pressed the com button. "Guys, is this a Code Green?"

Percy grunted as he slammed back into a metal railing, one of the Legionnaires were pressing him into the railing, trying to flip him over. Loki sent a blade through its head and Percy pushed it off of him, slashing at another one that had took its place. Stiles' hands lit up in his power and he shot off balls of electricity at the bots, frying them as they came after him.
