"Exactly," Harry nodded. "but I know the problem now, or at least I think I do, and I am hoping to work on it after we all deal with the Ultron shit. Now, I'd like to keep talking but we do have a crazy and genocidal robot to deal with."
"Fine, but we will be talking about this later." Natasha said in a firm voice while Sif nodded in agreement, it was clear that it was not a question or a request.
"Of that, I have no doubt." Harry replied, having already resigned himself to a long conversation with the two.
.....
"Is everyone ready?" Cap asked as he stood in front of the Avengers while wearing his uniform, his shield on his back and his helmet in his hand.
"My suit is ready in the Quinjet." Tony nodded just as everyone else confirmed that they were ready.
"Wait a sec, is that my jacket?" Natasha frowned when she saw Wanda wearing a familiar looking red jacket.
"Oh boy." Gwen said under her breath.
"We're coming with you." Pietro said in a firm voice with Wanda nodding in agreement.
"I think we should take all the help we can get." Harry said, offering his opinion. They were going to fight an army of robots after all, there was no such thing as too much back up in a case like this. Besides, both Maximoff kids seemed to be able to handle themselves pretty well.
"That still doesn't explain the jacket." Natasha pointed out.
"Are we sure that that is a good idea?" Tony asked.
"Are you going to stop us?" Pietro said in a challenging voice.
"Look," Harry sighed before anyone can interrupt. "they are both valuable assets to the team and we are facing an actual army and they're not willing to let it go. They can handle themselves and we need the help, they both understand the risks… you do understand the risks, right?" Harry asked the twins.
"We do." Wanda said in a quiet voice as she nodded to him.
"Great, then let's go." Harry said before he walked to the Quinjet without waiting for a response. Padfoot followed after him, Natasha and Sif exchanged looks before they also followed after him, followed by the twins and then the rest of the Avengers, with the exception of Cap who was still standing in the same spot.
"Guess I have to give my speech in the jet then." Cap sighed before he quickly began moving so he could catch up with the others.
.....
The Avengers all sat in the Quinjet as it flew to Sokovia, the twins were glad that the Avengers didn't voice any issues with them coming, it would have made for a rather awkward flight if they had. Everyone had their game face on as they mentally prepared themselves for Ultron.
"Stark," Harry spoke. "how far away are we?" He asked while he petted Padfoot.
"We're approaching Sokovia." Stark said as the twins each put in an ear piece so they could communicate with the other Avengers. "We should be there soon."
"Alright listen up," Cap said to the Avengers.
"What is he doing?" Wanda whispered to Harry.
"He is going to make a speech." Harry whispered back as he gestured to Steve so she would pay attention, what she did not see was Harry quickly wave his wand and create a silencing charm over himself. Harry would be the first to admit that Steve can make great speeches, but with that being said Harry would much more rather relax and think in silence than listen to speeches. Besides, Padfoot would tell him if he had missed anything important.
"Ultron knows we're coming." Cap continued, unaware that he had one less person in attendance. "The odd are that we are going to be riding into heavy fire, that's what we signed up for. The people of Sokovia, they didn't." Wanda and Pietro shifted slightly at those words, but both of them turned to look at Cap, and both were giving him their full attention. "So our priority is to get them out, keep them safe. All they want is to live their lives in peace, but that's not going to happen today. But we can do our best to protect them, and we can get the job done. We'll find out what Ultron is building and clear the field. Keep the fight between us. Ultron thinks that we're monsters, that we are what's wrong with this world, this isn't about beating him, it's about whether he's right." Cap said, he sat down after having finished his talk.
Padfoot tugged on Harry's leg, letting him know that the speech was over. Harry did a mental sigh before he cancelled the silencing spell.
"What did he say?" Harry whispered to Padfoot.
"Woof, woof." Padfoot barked.
"Hmm, fair enough." Harry said as he petted Padfoot's head. "Hey guys, has anyone been in contact with the Sokovian government yet?" Harry asked as he looked around the Quinjet.
"Yes," Bruce nodded. "but I don't know what they plan to do. I tried to make them see how serious it was and I know that Fury's probably contacting them if he hasn't already done it. But I'm not sure if they're doing anything or if they can do anything in time. Fury has likely come up with some way to help, so we will have to wait for a while until he's able to do something."
"Fury?" Wanda spoke in a questioning voice.
"Who is this Fury?" Pietro asked.
"The leader of Shield," Natasha answered. "he's a good man. We can all but guarantee that he is sending some form of help to assist us. "
"Most likely, but you've got to remember that Shield isn't really the same as it was before." Harry pointed out.
"What do you mean?" Wanda asked.
"A while back a secret organization know as 'Hydra' had infiltrated Shield," Harry began explaining. "me and Fury were able to catch most members of Hydra, but there was a lot of them and they were in a lot of different parts of Shield. Thanks to our discovery there is a lot less people working for Shield, I can only hope that Shield has recovered by now."
"This is an interesting conversation, but it is also a conversation for another time." Cap spoke up. "We are nearly there. Stark, you said you wanted first crack at Ultron." Cap said as he glanced at Tony who nodded in confirmation. "You'll get it, take Vision with you, the two of you remember the plan right?"
"Like we had gone over it at least ten times," Tony said in a dry voice. "what about you?" Tony asked Vision.
"I do remember." Vision nodded. "I… I do think it is a shame that we are unable to convince Ultron that he would be better suited to changing his ways.
"If someone doesn't want to change then they won't, and we're not going to risk lives on a lost cause." Harry said as he stared at Vision.
"You still do not trust me?" Vision asked.
"You haven't yet given me a good reason to trust you." Harry reminded him.
"I understand, I only hope that I can prove myself to you."
"The rest of us will be focusing on taking out the Ultron bots and helping the people." Cap continued, bringing the conversation back on topic. "Remember to stay in contact with each other. If any of you see anything you think could be important then don't hesitate to point it out."
"You think we can win so easily?" Pietro asked as he raised an eyebrow.
"It won't be easy." Cap said instantly.
