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.

"Upon this rock, I will build my church." Ultron mused. "Vibranium." He flipped it, and threw it to Pietro. Pietro looked at it, before showing it to Ira. She studied the flowing blue cylinder, filled with the world's strongest metal.

"You know, it came at great personal cost. It's worth billions." Klaue told Ultron.

Ultron chuckled. "Now so are you." He closed his eyes briefly, and Ira knew he must've filled Klaue's bank account. "It's all under your dummy holdings? Finance is so weird." Ira watched as Kalue's henchman showed him a phone with his bank account numbers. "But I always say: 'Keep your friends rich, and your enemies rich, and wait to find out which is which.'"

"Stark." Klaue looked up, realization dawning on him. Ira's eyes narrowed at the mention of Stark.

"What?" Ultron asked.

"Tony Stark used to say that to me." Klaue continued. "You're one of his."

"What?! I am not-" Ultron grabbed Klaue's arm, and his henchman pulled out a gun. Wanda used her powers to stop him, and he dropped his gun and clutched his head as Emilia, too used her powers.

"I'm not," Ultron repeated. "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!" He raised his arm and chopped off Klaue's arm at the elbow. Klaue stumbled back, shock etched on his face. Ira was surprised. Ultron was getting extreme.

"I'm sorry. I am so... Ooh, I'm sure that's gonna be okay. I'm sorry, it's just I don't understand. Don't compare me with Stark!" Ultron yelled. He kicked Klaue in the head, and he rolled down the stairs. "It's a thing with me. Stark is... he's a sickness!"

Ira watched as Stark landed in the ship backed by the men she now knew as Thor and Captain America. "Aww, junior. You're gonna break your old man's heart." He said.

"If I have to," Ultron said as he strode out of the room with the Enhanced behind him.

"Nobody has to break anything." Thor said.

"Clearly you've never made an omelet." Ultron replied dryly.

"He beat me by one second," Stark told Thor.

"Ah, this is funny, Mr. Stark." Pietro strode forward. "It's what, comfortable? Like old times?" He looked toward the crates of missiles below them.

"This was never my life," Stark stated.

"You four can still walk away from this," Captain A,Erica told the Enhanced.

"Oh, we will." Wanda assured him.

"Once you're dead." Emilia added.

"I know you've suffered-" He began.

"That's what you think that was?" Ira asked. "Suffering. Suffering was being experimented on. Suffering was being locked in a cage for years. But seeing your family members, your loved ones, killed in front of you? While you're powerless to stop it? That's torture. And you're the cause of it." She spat.

"Ugh," Ultron groaned. "Captain America. God's righteous man. Pretending you could live without a war. I can't physically throw up in my mouth, but..."

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

"I think you're confusing peace with quiet." Ultron stated, becoming agitated.

"Yuh-huh." Stark said. "What's the Vibranium for?"

"I'm glad you asked that, because I wanted to take this time to explain my evil plan." He suddenly drew energy from Stark's suit and blasted it back at him. Two of Ultron's robots fought Captain America and Thor, but they easily fought them off. Pietro ran at Thor, while Wanda blasted Captain America.

Ultron and Stark battled overhead, while Pietro punched Captain America. Ira watched as he was suddenly thrown backward into a pile of crates. He must've tried to grab Thor's hammer. Captain America pushed Pietro down. "Stay down, kid." He ordered.

Ira threw him up in the air, and against the wall, where he landed in a crouch. "It's time for some mind games." A bot told Wanda. Ira followed Wanda to Thor. She blasted him, and he shot a bolt of lightning at her. She contained it within an energy sphere, and, noticing Captain America, blasted it at him.

Wanda used her powers to warp Thor's mind, and then they moved on to Captain America. Pietro pushed him down, and Wanda did the same to him as she did to Thor. She moved on to Black Widow, and then to Hawkeye, who was shooting arrows from a perch on the balcony. Wanda tried to use her powers, but he stuck an electrified arrow onto her forehead. She gasped, and shuddered.

"I've done the whole mind control thing." He told her. "Not a fan." Pietro pushed him over, and then grabbed the arrow on Wanda's head and sped her outside. Ira followed them. She found Wanda crouched in pain with Pietro next to her.

"It hurts," she gasped. Ira rushed over, and placed her hand on Wanda's arm. She let a flow of healing energy battle the pain in Wanda's head, and the pain slowly subsided. "Thanks," Wanda murmured.

"I'm going to kill him," Pietro muttered. "I'll be right back."

"No, I'm alright." Wanda reassured him. "I want to finish the plan. I want the big one." The three of them looked towards the jet, where they knew Bruce Banner was. They slowly walked towards it, and Wanda warped his mind. They stood back as he turned green, his shirt ripping as his muscles expanded.

Pietro sped them back inside, where they found Emilia standing in a circle of men writhing in the floor, victims of her ruthless powers. "The Avengers all left," she told them, stepping out of the circle.

"The plan went beautifully," a robot told them. "My main body has been destroyed, so once we go back to Sokovia get me a new one, we'll go to Seoul for the next crucial part of our plan."
