Athena exited her portal to see one of Ultron's iron suits was stood waiting for her "Oh you didn't think I'd actually meet you here did you, Athena? I can deal with the pitiful excuse of a God but you... You could destroy me in the blink of an eye" He opened his arms "I have an offer for you if you're interested"

"What offer?" Athena asked while looking at the suit.

Ultron started to walk towards Athena "You see Athena having you on my side would cause me to win this and spread peace"

"Your peace is mass genocide it's everything I'm against why would I ever help you" Athena spat.

"Because I know you. Your file was very interesting and having to hide everything must be exhausting" It held out its hand for Athena "Help me take out Earth and I will help you rule over the universe. Help me win"

"Here's where you fucked up Ultron. You fucked with Earth. Out of the millions of planets, you could have wanted to destroy you chose this one" Athena spoke in a low threatening voice.

He gave her a chuckle "You really care about the Earth that much?" 

She nodded "Of course"

Steve started to run towards Athena and the Ultron iron suit with the intent to help but as Ultron turned his head to see Steve he pointed towards him "Tell him to stop or he's dead"

Athena's eyes winded and she shouted towards Steve "Stop. Don't take another step please" 

Steve stopped and looked at the two with an uneasy gaze causing Ultron to start laughing "Oh look at him. He's like a little lost puppy not being able to save you" He took his eyes off Steve and looked back at Athena "You know Athena I could just release your file to the entire universe"

"And you think I'd still help you?" Athena asked with furrowed eyebrows.

"I count on it" Ultron responded.

Athena raised her hand and burnt the suit until it was a little pile of gray dust on the soft grass. Steve saw that Ultron was now gone so he ran towards Athena. When he reached her he pulled her close and hugged her tight "Don't you ever do that again. I thought I lost you" He scolded.

Athena pulled back and kissed Steve's forehead "I'm sorry"
