80 I'm a Bank in my Daughter's eyes...

The next day

Viktor groaned and woke up as Lilith shook him, whispering "Daddy~ Daddy~" Viktor shook his head and laid on his back as Lilith rubbed her hands on his face. She sat on his chest and waved a letter in her hand, saying "Daddy, I want to send mail to Ultron. Like Santa."

Viktor yawned and looked at Lilith with squinting eyes, scratching his head as he mumbled "Santa? But it's May…" Lilith sighed and patted Viktor's eye, "It's okay, Daddy. You're really so silly."

Viktor nodded and hugged Lilith, rolling over and yawning as he held her in his arms. Lilith struggled and said "Daddy! I want to send a letter, not sleep!" Viktor groaned and rolled back and forth before sitting up.

He rubbed his eyes and saw Lilith sitting in his lap, looking at him and waving a little letter. Viktor turned his head and saw Emma, laying on her own arm with her hair all over the place as she drooled…

He slowly blinked and picked up Lilith in one hand like a cat as he got out of bed. He brought Lilith to the mailbox and sniffed as he wrote down the address. He looked down at her and asked "Stamp?"

Lilith looked clueless and asked "What's a stamp for?" Viktor looked at her speechlessly before saying "I thought you were smart." Lilith puffed her cheeks and said "I am smart! You're silly!"

Viktor rolled his eyes and said "Yes, yes, how could I forget?" before pausing and muttering "Why does that sound so familiar…" Lilith pulled his hand and said "Come on, Daddy! We're going on an adventuuuuuure~!"

Viktor looked at her and followed her from behind, saying "To the post office? That's not a fun place…" Lilith glared at him before turning her head and snorting cutely. Viktor's heart was filled with happiness and he said flatly "The post office is boring, Captain."

Lilith raised her fist and said "For adventuuuuuuure~!" as he pulled Viktor along. Viktor followed her on the sidewalk with a smile.

It was not that early. It was around 10 o'clock and there were people on the streets. They saw this and smiled in their hearts.

A cute little girl in a dinosaur onesie, pulling a grown man who looked like he just rolled out of bed. Even his hair was a mess.

Not all good things last forever.

A few gangsters jumped out with a knife and said "Hey there little lady… Hehe How about donating to the poor?" Lilith raised her chin and snorted regally "You better leave. My daddy is super strong!"

The gangsters all laughed and waved the knives, saying "We only need money… to eat. Yeah we're starving! Hahhahaah!" The people couldn't bear to see it and turned away.

Viktor straightened out and his smile slowly faded, his face becoming emotionless as he stared at the gangsters, saying "She's right." he moved to the front and the gangster laughed "Then you can die!" as he stabbed forward.

Viktor turned his body and dodged the stab, elbowing the man's forearm and snapping it in half. He thrust his palm forward and smashed the gangster's face before ducking under another swing and shooting his elbow in the guy's stomach.

Viktor twisted his body and smashed the back of his fist on the gangster's jaw before grabbing the last one by the head and firing his knee upwards.

The gangster ate a knee full of haki and dropped to the ground.

Viktor looked at the blood on his clothes and sneered, ripping off one of the gangster's shirts and wiping his hands clean before smiling at Lilith, saying "Good thing you were here, Captain. I almost lost."

Lilith clapped and cheered "Daddy's the best!" Viktor smiled happily and picked Lilith up, putting her on his shoulders as they continued.

The people watching were stunned and some women looked at their husbands before snorting.

The men: ???

Lilith slapped Viktor's head saying "Go beat up more beat guys, Daddy!" Viktor's lips twitched as Lilith covered his eyes, he said speechlessly "Bad guys don't come around all the time…"

On a roof, a man with a target on his forehead stared at the duo, holding a little knife. He sat with one knee bent and the other hanging off the roof. His elbow rested on his bent knee and he muttered "You saved my life once… I'll leave you alone this time…"

He was very lucky because Viktor was ready to kill him instantly, as a gold tendril sank back into the ground behind Bullseye and disappeared…

Viktor and Lilith continued their adventure in Hell's Kitchen…

Finally after some twists and turns and some hard fought battles (Against Pancakes at a restaurant), they arrived at the post office.

Lilith slammed the letter down and said "Mister! This is very important!" The guy at the desk was speechless but said seriously "Oh, yes. I see…" Lilith added seriously "The world is at stake!"

The guy frowned deeply and nodded "Oh, that's terrible! I live in this world!" Lilith nodded and said "Mhm! So be sure to send that letter!" The guy took the letter and nodded seriously "Of course. That'll be 0.60$"

Lilith patted Viktor and said with a sigh, "Your turn." Viktor's lips twitched and he asked "Am I a bank to you?" Lilith looked at him silently for a long time before nodding seriously.

Viktor's eye was twitching constantly as he paid the guy the 60 cents…

A few days later

Ultron was in the New Avengers building and reading the letter. The words were around a drawing of Ultron in crayon.

The drawing was in the middle of the paper and the words were on the sides, if Ultron was dumb it would be hard to even read it!

Fortunately, he wasn't.

Ultron read the letter silently as Vision phased through the wall into his room, asking "A letter? From whom?" Ultron replied "A little girl… an extraordinary little girl." Vision was surprised and asked "Extraordinary?"

Ultron took a pin and pinned the letter above his bed as he replied "25 months old and she can speak full sentences. She understands the meaning of words and can reply to questions with ease as though she was much older…"

Vision smiled and said "You have feelings for this little girl?" Ultron paused before nodding "It's a strange feeling. Happiness, Amusement… I feel a strange uncontrollable rage when I think about something happening to her."

Vision floated around him and said "This is a new feeling, Ultron. Familial love." Ultron was blank as he asked "Familial Love?" Vision replied "You see her as family." Ultron frowned and replied "How can that be?"

Vision smiled mysteriously, saying "You forget you're human now. I can also feel love…" he paused and Ultron turned to him, saying "The Sokovian girl… Interesting. You have no reproductive organs or systems for that matter and yet you feel the need to reproduce."

Vision questioned "I can't love without the need for reproduction?" Ultron replied blankly "If not for reproduction, where does this 'love' come from?" Vision sighed "You still have a lot to learn…"

And slowly 4 months passed.
