A/N: Hi, don't feel like you need to be a silent reader. I love hearing from everyone. Comment with kindness.

"What?! I'm not...!" Ultron said.

Ultron grabbed the man called Klaue. Niobe stood against a wall, admiring the robotics that made up Ultron's new body. She could not deny this form was impressive. Anakin's force figure stood beside her.

"You're fighting this?" Anakin asked.

She ignored the concern in his voice, waving at him to be silent

She ignored the concern in his voice, waving at him to be silent.

"I'm not. You think I'm one of Stark's puppets, his hollow men? I mean look at me, do I look like Iron Man? Stark is nothing!"

Niobe jerked back as she watched Ultron cut off Klaue's arm. She turned back to the team waving them into the building.

"I'm sorry. I am sor... Ooh, I'm sure that's going to be okay. I'm sorry, it's just I don't understand. Don't compare me with Stark! he's a sickness!" Ultron said.

"Ahh, Junior," Tony said. "You're gonna break your old man's heart. Good work, Obe."

Ultron & Co. faced the Avengers. The woman in red appeared more enraged than her counterpart.

"If I have to," Ultron said.

"We don't have to break anything," Thor said.

"Clearly you've never made an omelet," Ultron said. "Who's the friend?"

"Don't say a thing. If he knew-," Anakin said.

Anakin's link was fading, but he could still see the potential danger. She scowled at his words. She pulled away.

"Obe!" Anakin said.

Niobe looked over in time to see Anakin disappear. She shook away the slight panic that had settled in her chest. She glanced back to the group across from them.

"He beat me by one second," Tony said.

Niobe was not the only one who noticed Tony's ignoring Ultron's question. Eyes had turned to her now. She reached for her lightsaber.

"Ah, this is funny, Mr. Stark. It's what, comfortable? Like old times?" the man asked.

Niobe took this opportunity to search his mind. The experience was painful. The battles he and his sister had faced left her gasping. Steve grabbed onto Niobe's arm to stabilize her.

"This was never my life," Tony said.

"You two can still walk away from this," Steve said.

"Oh, we will," Wanda said.

"I know you've suffered," Steve said.

"Uuughh! Captain America. God's righteous man, pretending you could live without a war. I can't physically throw up in my mouth, but..." Ultron said. "Is anyone going to tell me who the woman in robes is?"

Niobe glared at the machine. She could feel Wanda attempting to peer into her mind. Wanda let out a frustrated groan.

"If you believe in peace, then let us keep it," Thor said.

"I think you're confusing peace with quiet," Ultron said. "How about you tell me yourself?"

Niobe looked to her team. Tony shrugged, this was her choice.

"I am Jedi Knight Niobe," she said. "I am not of this galaxy."

Ultron fell silent. He seemed to be mulling over this new information.

"What's the Vibranium for?" Tony asked.

"I'm glad you asked that because I wanted to take this time to explain my evil plan!" Ultron said.
