(Warning: Some mentions of not acceptance in families, close mind people, and suicide. Sorry if this brings back some bad memories, there are more people ready to accept you with open arms.) 


It was too simple to be true. 8674 and Ultron were supposed to break some stuff, maybe kidnapped, something, not that elaborate. However, a few minutes outside and they were lacking ideas. Having their disguise back on, they were sitting on a bench in the park.  8674 was more upset because she was the one who suggested to go out and 'exercise'. 

"Well," 8674 glances to Ultron, well Ulisses, as he sinks on the bench, " This was a waste of time. Why did you want to go outside and sit here? Waiting for someone or what?"


"I...I don't know...." 8674 answers and her gaze turns back to the playground. Childhood, something she could never get back. She wondered, did she had parents? Was someone looking for her? or...Was she alone as HYDRA has told her before? 

8674 sighs as she lends back on the bench. Well, this a waste of time. 


"Excuse me, do you mind if you move a little so this old man can sit?" An old voice makes 8674 looks up and sees this old man, wearing a green sweater and some brown pants.  8674 moves closer to Ulisses and the old man sits. 

"Ah...Childhood. I remember when I was their age, all alone, my parents fighting and without friends at all." The old man wisely shares, " But, once you start growing up, you discover that you aren't alone and that you have a real family waiting there. Even when it takes time to find your own family." He turns to look at her and smiles.

8674 just glares at him and leaves. She doesn't need a wise grandfather telling her false hope and something stupid. Family is a weakness, an obstacle to getting what you want, and the worse is that some families may never accept you like you are and what you need. She has seen it before, how rich families would be dragging their children to HYDRA so they can get "fix." She was the one that tried to make them feel accept at least in that hell. However, most of them ended up dead on their bed, blood pouring from either wrist or neck.  It was sad to see, that family didn't love you how you are. 8674 knew from there, the family wasn't special at all and it is a living hell. 

"Ultron..." Walking, she asks, " Have you ever wanted a family?" 

"Well, no or yes, I don't know. When Pietro and Wanda join me,  I started to feel nice around them. I even looked for ways for them to survive after the asteroid, but then, they left. I felt lonely and without feelings." Ultron sigh, " Before dying,  I was alone facing my Vision, I felt scared." 

" Well, it's time for payback."  8674 says as she enters an alley and hers and Ultron's disguise goes now. 8674  looks at her hand and a big cherry materializes. "How about we play something?" She smiles as materialize a Wanda Maximoff and hands the cherry. 

"This is going to be fun..."
