Choosing to Fight for Peace

The Avengers all sat in the Quinjet as it flew to Sokovia, the twins were glad that the Avengers didn't voice any issues with them coming, it would have made for a rather awkward flight if they had. Everyone had their game face on as they mentally prepared themselves for Ultron.

"Stark," Harry spoke. "how far away are we?" He asked while he petted Padfoot.

"We're approaching Sokovia." Stark said as the twins each put in an ear piece so they could communicate with the other Avengers. "We should be there soon."

"Alright listen up," Cap said to the Avengers.

"What is he doing?" Wanda whispered to Harry.

"He is going to make a speech." Harry whispered back as he gestured to Steve so she would pay attention, what she did not see was Harry quickly wave his wand and create a silencing charm over himself. Harry would be the first to admit that Steve can make great speeches, but with that being said Harry would much more rather relax and think in silence than listen to speeches. Besides, Padfoot would tell him if he had missed anything important.

"Ultron knows we're coming." Cap continued, unaware that he had one less person in attendance. "The odd are that we are going to be riding into heavy fire, that's what we signed up for. The people of Sokovia, they didn't." Wanda and Pietro shifted slightly at those words, but both of them turned to look at Cap, and both were giving him their full attention. "So our priority is to get them out, keep them safe. All they want is to live their lives in peace, but that's not going to happen today. But we can do our best to protect them, and we can get the job done. We'll find out what Ultron is building and clear the field. Keep the fight between us. Ultron thinks that we're monsters, that we are what's wrong with this world, this isn't about beating him, it's about whether he's right." Cap said, he sat down after having finished his talk.

Padfoot tugged on Harry's leg, letting him know that the speech was over. Harry did a mental sigh before he cancelled the silencing spell.

"What did he say?" Harry whispered to Padfoot.

"Woof, woof." Padfoot barked.

"Hmm, fair enough." Harry said as he petted Padfoot's head. "Hey guys, has anyone been in contact with the Sokovian government yet?" Harry asked as he looked around the Quinjet.

"Yes," Bruce nodded. "but I don't know what they plan to do. I tried to make them see how serious it was and I know that Fury's probably contacting them if he hasn't already done it. But I'm not sure if they're doing anything or if they can do anything in time. Fury has likely come up with some way to help, so we will have to wait for a while until he's able to do something."

"Fury?" Wanda spoke in a questioning voice.

"Who is this Fury?" Pietro asked.

"The leader of Shield," Natasha answered. "he's a good man. We can all but guarantee that he is sending some form of help to assist us. "

"Most likely, but you've got to remember that Shield isn't really the same as it was before." Harry pointed out.

"What do you mean?" Wanda asked.

"A while back a secret organization know as 'Hydra' had infiltrated Shield," Harry began explaining. "me and Fury were able to catch most members of Hydra, but there was a lot of them and they were in a lot of different parts of Shield. Thanks to our discovery there is a lot less people working for Shield, I can only hope that Shield has recovered by now."

"This is an interesting conversation, but it is also a conversation for another time." Cap spoke up. "We are nearly there. Stark, you said you wanted first crack at Ultron." Cap said as he glanced at Tony who nodded in confirmation. "You'll get it, take Vision with you, the two of you remember the plan right?"

"Like we had gone over it at least ten times," Tony said in a dry voice. "what about you?" Tony asked Vision.

"I do remember." Vision nodded. "I… I do think it is a shame that we are unable to convince Ultron that he would be better suited to changing his ways.

"If someone doesn't want to change then they won't, and we're not going to risk lives on a lost cause." Harry said as he stared at Vision.

"You still do not trust me?" Vision asked.

"You haven't yet given me a good reason to trust you." Harry reminded him.

"I understand, I only hope that I can prove myself to you."

"The rest of us will be focusing on taking out the Ultron bots and helping the people." Cap continued, bringing the conversation back on topic. "Remember to stay in contact with each other. If any of you see anything you think could be important then don't hesitate to point it out."

"You think we can win so easily?" Pietro asked as he raised an eyebrow.

"It won't be easy." Cap said instantly.

"It's never easy," Harry added in an annoyed voice. "it is irritatingly always the opposite of easy. if it was then everyone would do it. You just have to decide if you think it's worth the effort. Do you?"

"Yes, I do." Pietro said instantly.

"Then you'll be fine." Harry said. "How about you?" Harry asked Wanda.

"I do." She nodded, thought not as fast as Pietro.

"Are you sure?" Harry asked, "because this is your last chance to back out?"

"No," Wanda shook her head. "we're staying." She said, she could not allow Ultron's plan to work, she just couldn't.
