The center of the city was very crowded, I'm not used to that. I just kept trying to stay close to Pietro while I hugged Pchela, but he seemed to run off a lot, so I decided to just stick with Wanda.

- You okay? – She asked

- I've never seen this many people in the same place before, it's giving me a headache – I told her. This many people and having to listen to all their thoughts? It's confusing. I don't like it. A little boy suddenly came towards us saying that Iron Man was in the city's church. I don't know what Wanda and Pietro have against him; I just know that they want him dead. The three of us started walking. I didn't want to be part of that. I just hid in the shadows.

There was a man, sitting in a chair in the center, covered in a sort of rug.

- Talk, and if you are wasting our time... -

- Did you know this church is the exact center of the city? The elders decreed it so that everyone could be equally close to God. I like that. The geometry of believe – A voice said, it was robotic. I couldn't identify their thoughts, which made me wonder if they even had.

- You're wondering why you can't look inside my head –

- Sometimes it's hard. But sooner or later, every man shows himself – The man raised from the chair, letting the rug fall and revealing it wasn't man. A robot.

- Oh, I'm sure they do. But you need something more than a man. That's why you let Stark take the scepter – He said, walking towards the twins.

- I didn't expect, but I saw Stark's fear. I knew it would control him. Make him self-destruct –

- Everyone creates the thing they dread. Men of peace create engines of war. Invaders create Avengers. People create... smaller people? Uh... "Children" – He chuckled – I lost the word, there. Children. Designed to supplant them, to help them end –

- Is that why you've come, to end the Avengers? – Wanda asked

- I've come to save the world. But also... Yeah –

He wanted to go back to HYDRA base, which was something I absolutely didn't want to do. I refused to go with them. Wanda looked at me, and I just shacked my head no. She got the message and started leaving with Pietro. Thinking things through, I had nowhere else to go. So I decided to join them, in secret. I hid in the shadows and listened to their conversation.

– We'll move out right away. This is a start, but there's something we need to begin the real work – he said while they saw his work.

– all of this are... - Wanda started saying

– me. I have what the Avengers never will. Harmony. They're discordant. Disconnected. Stark's already got them turning into each other. And when both of you get inside the rest of their heads... - Ultron explained

– Everyone's plan is not to kill them – Pietro said, kind of angry

– and make them martyrs? You need patience. Need to see the big picture – Ultron tried to explain.

– I don't see the big picture; I have a little picture. I take it out and look at it, every day – Pietro tried to explain

– You lost your parents in the bombings. I've seen the records – Ultron confessed.

– The records are not the pictures – He said, Wanda knew where this was going, so she tried to stop him

– Pietro – she said

– No, please – said Ultron, signaling for him to continue

– We were 10 years old. Having dinner, the four of us. When the first shell hits two floors below us, it makes a hole on the floor. It's big. Our parents go in and the whole building starts to coming apart. I grab her, roll under the bed, and the second shell hits. But it doesn't go off. It just sits there in the rubble. Three feet from our faces. And on the side of the shell is painted one word – he said.

– "Stark" – Wanda completes

– We were trapped for two days – continues Pietro

– every effort to save us, every shift in the bricks, I think, "This will set it off" we wait for two days for Tony Stark to kill us –

– I know what they are –

I raised from the shadows hugging Pchela as I do, wanting to ask something.

- Is that why you all hate the Avengers? Because of Stark? –

Ultron looked at me, I knew he had access to everything that was on the internet, but my records were never there.

- Who are you? – He asked

- I'm a shadow –

- Where did you come from? –

- The shadows –

- She was part of Strucker's experiments too, we didn't really knew about her until earlier today – Pietro informed Ultron

- I never saw your records –

- That because they aren't online, they couldn't risk it –

– I wonder why only you two survived Strucker's experiments. Now that I know there is a third one, why did you survive? – Ultron asked me

- I won't share my life story with you, I have no where better to go, so I just want to stick with the twins. If they want me to, where they go I'll go – I explained, I owe nothing to him, I don't have to share my life story.

- Good enough. We'll make it right. You and I can hurt them – Ultron said looking at Pietro.

- And I sense you have great abilities if they kept you in the shadows for that long, you both, will tear them apart from the inside –
