Ultron's 'Heart'

Meanwhile in Sokovia~

Viktor was destroying Ultron bots left and right as Sokovia was lifted off the ground.

He hovered in the air and closed his eyes, spreading out his ROOM, teleporting people off the floating island to the ground. He slowly sat in the air, crossing his legs as he teleported Ultron bots to the Avengers individually.

Unfortunately for the people, Viktor couldn't cover the planet, so he did the best he could and saved a ton of people, the rest were still on the floating Island.

Viktor opened his eyes and teleported away.

Clint stood there as a fast guy took a girl and ran away extremely fast, saying "Keep up, old man!" Clint drew his bow at the distance, muttering "Nobody would know. Nobody…" before putting it down and jogging away, talking to himself "Last I saw him, an Ultron was sitting on him. Yeah, he'll be missed, that quick little bastard. I miss him already."

Viktor laughed as he sat on a destroyed building. Clint looked up and said "Don't you have robots to kill?" Viktor replied "I was hoping you would take the shot, how exciting would that be?"

Clint rolled his eyes and muttered "You and me both…" as he left.

Viktor looked at the sky and pursed his lips as a huge helicarrier appeared. Flying life rafts flew off it and onto Sokovia.

Steve and the rest started getting everyone on the ships before converging on the church in the middle.

They were trying to stop the Ultron bots from sending the city hurtling towards the Earth.

Viktor teleported people to the life ships as he stared at a certain kid.

The Avengers stopped the robots in the church before going out to save more people, leaving the woman there alone.

Viktor looked at the woman and narrowed his eyes, muttering "Maybe I should just kill her right now… Wanda Maximoff… Would Erik hate me?" he was really tempted…

He finally snorted and turned to Clint holding a kid and bracing himself for the hail of bullets.

Viktor watched as the fast guy pushed him out of the way and was shot.

He flicked his finger and the guy was teleported to him. Viktor put his hand on his chest and the bullets came out of his body. He stabbed him with an Extremis Shot and his wounds healed instantly.

Viktor looked at him and curled his lips, the other Maximoff…

Erik definitely owed him a favor.

Unfortunately, Wanda thought her brother was dead and went psycho, slaughtering bots with a sad scream.

Pietro woke up and looked at himself hovering in the air, he turned to Viktor, who was looking at him and he said "Uh… Thanks." Viktor said "Magneto's son… Hehe~ For a fast guy, getting hit with bullets is pretty embarrassing."

Pietro asked "Magneto?" Viktor sneered "Your so-called 'parents' in Sokovia… Give me a break. You and your sister are Mutants!" then he touched his chin and muttered "Is there 2 Quicksilvers now? This world is confusing."

Pietro didn't hear that last part but he was already confused.

Viktor waved his hand and Pietro was teleported back to the ground. He fell on his ass and said "Ow!"

Clint looked at him and said "You saved my life. Thanks." Pietro stood up and rubbed his ass, saying "No problem, old man."

Viktor asked "If I save someone who should die, I get a special one… That's how that works?"

[To be more precise, when you save someone that changes the future. Vanko will eventually escape prison and attack Stark again, Nancy will become Ironheart instead of Riri Williams, Pietro was supposed to die, etc.]

Viktor asked curiously "And the other Quicksilver?"

[... Peter Maximoff still exists.]

Viktor clapped his hands in amusement and said "What are the odds two people get the same powers? Haha, that will be fun!"

[To be precise, Peter is faster than Pietro by a large margin.]

Viktor rubbed his chin and chuckled "I see. Well, spin it!"

Bell, Bell, Bell.

[Jackpot- Mind Stone data download]

Viktor looked at the USB in his hands in confusion.

[The complete deconstruction of the Mind Stone. What Tony Stark had only 3 days to decipher, you have everything. Completely safe, will not spawn another Ultron.]

Viktor closed his eyes and threw the USB out, saying "Little Bear, incoming."

Emma looked up and grabbed the air, a USB appearing. She heard Viktor explain what it was and her eyes lit up.

She plugged it in and quickly got to work, saying "Mars, come help. After we digest this, we will upgrade Ultron and prepare for transfer."

Mars replied simply "Yes, Madam."

Emma pursed her lips and giggled "Don't be like that. You're also getting a major upgrade." Mars replied with a hint of emotion "Thank you, Madam!"

Emma giggled and stayed silent, studying the data.

Viktor looked down at Sokovia and rubbed his fingers, muttering "Now is just the finale…" he turned to the various heroes and appeared on a life raft in front of Clint, pressing him to the ground with a hand.

Clint coughed and Viktor stared at him before closing his eyes.

Clint's wounds were healed and Viktor disappeared.

He reappeared in a bus and looked at Ultron on the ground, sitting in a seat and looking at him.

Ultron said weakly "I think… You were right…" Viktor asked "How so?" Ultron turned to the sky, replying "I can dream. My dreams are very beautiful." Viktor stayed silent and Ultron continued with a question "Why can't they become reality?"

Viktor stared at him for a few seconds before replying softly "Because some dreams aren't achievable through violent means. Oftentimes, dreams are what you think about during the day. Other times, they are premonitions… and sometimes they are what we wish in the deepest parts of our hearts."

Ultron turned to him, asking "What is a 'heart'?" Viktor crouched in front of him as Sokovia started falling, touching Ultron's chest as he replied "Not an organ or an energy source, but the soul of a person. An intangible essence that defines what a person is. To be precise, there is no explanation."

Viktor tapped on his chest and head, saying "You also have a 'heart' and it's probably the only part of you that isn't made of metal." Ultron fell silent and a red android floated into the bus, looking at the duo.

Viktor grabbed Ultron and the android grabbed him as he flew out of the bus and into the sky.

Sokovia exploded in the sky before it could smash into the Earth.

Viktor looked at the android and smiled, "Vision. We don't seem to have met." Vision replied "Afraid not. Why are you saving Ultron?"

Viktor, Vision, and Ultron landed in a forest.

Viktor raised his fist and clenched it as a robot on the ground behind him was crushed to slag.

He put Ultron on the ground and looked at him, saying "Do you understand now, Ultron?"

Ultron stared at the sky and asked "Are there any strings left on me?" Viktor shook his head and Ultron fell silent. Vision hovered next to him, saying "I believe you missed the beauty, Ultron. Humanity is beautiful precisely because it is frail."

Viktor patted his hand on Ultron and said "This is your last body. Do you have anything you want to say?" Ultron stared at the sky and turned to Viktor, saying "I hope… I can have freedom."

Viktor stared at him and said "Dream well, Ultron." before looking at Vision and teleporting away.

Vision looked at where Viktor disappeared and said "Perhaps he knows you better than yourself." Ultron replied "Perhaps… The only human who didn't want to kill me." Vision asked "Does that mean anything to you?"

Ultron paused for a moment before replying "Perhaps I was wrong. However, it's too late." Vision looked at him and said "Indeed, goodbye Ultron." as the gem on his forehead lit up.

Ultron stared at the sky and started singing to himself "There are no strings on me…" as an incredibly bright yellow flash flooded his vision…
