Learning What It Means to Be an Avenger

Eventually the jet landed and the Avenger's walked out, they looked around and didn't see anything wrong, not yet at least. Cap was about to put his helmet on just as Harry was about to put his hood up and mask on but they both paused when they saw several bits of insulting graffiti that were not nice to say the least. The graffiti was of them with several word sprayed over their faces, including 'fascist'. Harry and Cap exchanged looks, that particularly hurt the two seeing as they had both fought for freedom all of their lives.

Both brushed it off though, there was a time and a place to be upset, now was not it. Harry decided to leave the hood and mask while Cap tossed his helmet back into the Jet.

"Alright, time to get these people out of here." Harry said. The others nodded, Stark and Vision flew off into the air along with Thor and Harry, Pietro rushed off while Banner stayed by the jet, waiting for trouble to start before he began hulking out. Padfoot and the others began moving off on foot.

A while later the night began clearing up and the Avenger's were still evacuating civilians even though there was still noticeably less people. They all knew that a fight could break out within moments, and were ready for it to start soon.

"Anyone got eyes on Ultron yet?" Harry asked the group using his communication device.

"Not yet." Pietro replied. "Still evacuating the people."

"No luck so far." Cap's voice responded.

"Not a single peak." Natasha added.

"I can't be the only one who finds the silence to be worrying." Sif commented.

"Enjoy it while you can," Harry replied. "I get the feeling that it will end up being very loud soon."

"Got him, he's in the church, heading there now." Tony replied.

"I am also heading there." Vision replied.

"Good luck with that." Harry said as he continued helping with the evacuation.

A few seconds later the peace was finally broken when an army of Ultron soldiers began flying in from the skies and rising out of the ground. The people of Sokovia began running and fleeing in terror.

.....

"That is one scary dog." Wanda gulped when she saw Padfoot transform into his battle mode and begin attacking Ultron bots, easily ripping them to shreds.

"Yeah, but he is really a big softy." Natasha said as she blasted a few robots using her guns. "Aren't you boy?" She asked Padfoot who paused after ripping apart another Ultron bot to look at her with a smile as he waggled his tail. The sweet moment was interrupted by an Ultron bot that blasted him in his side, unfortunately for the Ultron bot the blast did nothing more than sting Padfoot.

Padfoot growled and charged towards the robot, dodging several blasts as he did so.

"Yeah, a big softy." Clint snorted while Padfoot began attacking the robot. Clint took out three arrows from his quiver, nocked them on his bow and fired them, taking out three Ultron bots.

"As long as you don't take his food." Gwen added as she flipped over an Ultron Bot that tried to attack her, the bot turned around and was taken out by a strong round house kick.

"Oh yeah, don't ever try and take his food." Natasha agreed as she tossed a grenade into the air, it was caught by one Ultron bot, the bot took a moment before it realized what it was holding. It pulled its arm back, ready to throw it away when it suddenly exploded in its face.

"Is this what you all do?!" Wanda asked with disbelief as she created a red energy shield to block several Ultron bot blasts. "Make jokes and talk with each other while fighting armies of robots?!"

"Well… it's not always robots." Clint said in a quiet voice just before slapping one robot across the face with his bow to create some distance so he could nock an arrow and shoot in the head.

"But yeah… pretty much." Natasha nodded.

"They will help keep you sane," Sif said as she removed the heads of two robots with one strong swing of her sword. "it's also a great show of how skilled you are. You should try it."

"Maybe another time." Wanda said as she blasted a few robots apart. "If we even survive this." She could not help but add in a quiet voice. There appeared to be no more Ultron bots in their area so they all began moving forward.

"Hey, I know that this a bit scary but we will get through this." Gwen said to Wanda.

"How do you know?" Wanda asked in a quiet voice.

"Just got to have faith," Gwen shrugged. "sometimes that is all we have."

"This… this is all my fault." Wanda sobbed as she stopped and looked around, taking in all of the destruction around her.

"You do share a part in this, but it is not all your fault." Sif replied. "It was Stark's choice to make Ultron."

"I was the one who pushed him towards it." Wanda reminded them.

"Exactly, you 'pushed' him towards it," Natasha nodded. "you gave him a direction but he didn't have to follow it all the way. And when he made Ultron it was his choice, just like it is Ultron's choice to do what he is doing now. You're a kid, you are not responsible for either of them."

"Look kid," Clint said as he nocked another arrow. "look at me, you're fault, my fault, who cares? Are you up for this? Are you? Look we just need to know because the city is under attack… the people are under attack… and we are fighting an army of robots. We're fighting an army of robots with guns, bows and arrows, a woman who can shoot webs and an alien. None of this makes sense."

"I…" Wanda was about to reply but let out a small scream when an Ultron bot flew towards and fired a blast at them, Sif had quickly blocked the blast using her shield and the robot was then taken out by Hawkeye.

"But we are going out there to fight because that is our job, okay? We may joke around but it is our job to help people, whenever we can. And we can't do our jobs and babysit. It doesn't matter what you did and what you were, if you fight you fight to kill. If you don't want to fight then pick a good hiding spot and then you're good, we'll send your brother to come and find you. Grim can probably teleport you both off of here. But if you walk with us, if you follow after us, then you are an Avenger." Hawkeye paused to see that his words were making an impact. "Okay, good talk." Hawkeye finished with a nod.

He turned and walked away, pulling an arrow out of his quiver as he did so, not even bothering to look back. Natasha and Sif followed after him, followed by Gwen and Padfoot.

"That was a good little impromptu speech." Natasha whispered to Clint.

"Don't sound so surprised." Clint said with an amused snort. "I have my moments." He grinned, a few seconds later the sound of rushing footsteps were head. Without looking back the group knew that Wanda was walking with them.
