"PIETRO! NO!"

Cora immediately ran to the man lying on the ground, multiple bullet holes piercing through his stomach and chest, his breath was hitched and forced

"C-Cora... Please, tell... tell Wanda I love her" He let out his final breath and Cora sensed the burst of griefing energy the younger twin had emitted the second Pietro's heart stopped, killing the remaining of Ultron's army with it

"I'm telling you, guys, Stephen's boyfriend and Mr. Phds are up to something"

"I'm sure it's nothing to worry about, Co-"

"Oh, no, it is, I just checked the timeline and boy are you in for a treat" Interrupted the time stone keeper with a mix of concern and amusement, he loved showing off hence his amusement.

"What do you mean and what did I tell you about snooping around the different future scenarios?" Scolded the woman with a mother-like voice

"Sorry, sorry. They are creating something they think is necessary to get ahead of future enemies"

"Well, that's not so bad is it?" Pondered Cora out loud

"Yeah wait until the thing tries to take over the worl- OUCH! Cora, Wong just hit me!" Strange whined like a kid

"You can't keep telling her the future, it can mess up everything" Said a very serious magic librarian

"Well, Beyonce, it won't mess up anything if she is supposed to know" Retorted the other sorcerer in a mocking tone

"Okay, shut up, don't tell me more, just, should I stop them now or when the thing goes haywire and shit starts going down?"

"I've only seen six million different outcomes, and in the ones you wait, you win. But the odds are endless, if I were you, I'd wait. There are two or three realities in which the invention is actually good, but taking into consideration who we are and our usual luck... I doubt it"

"Norns, geez, yeah, okay, i'll see what i'll do, talk to you later, wizards"

"WE'RE NOT-" And she hung up

"YOU KNOW-"

BANG!

"-I TOTALLY CALLED THIS!!"

"WHAT ARE YOU ON ABOUT NOW, FRANCIS?" Asked a very amused but irritated Stark from the other side of the room

BANG! CRASH!

"YEAH, WE'RE A BIT BUSY, YOU KNOW?" Yelled Clint from the floor he was thrown to by one of Iron Legion

"I MEANT, I KNEW WE WERE GONNA BE ATTACKED BY KILLER ROBOTS SOONER OR LATER!"

BOOM! BANG!

"UGH, I JUST THOUGHT IT WOULD BE LATER" Complained Cora while she stood up from her hiding spot behind the bar and smoothed her long dress

What's going on is pretty self explanatory, but basically, Stark decided it would be great to throw a party. They all danced, drank, talked then danced and drank a bit more.

Now, the previous crowded room was left with only the Avengers, plus some extras, they played the great game of 'Worthy or Not', which Cora refused to be a part of for... reasons, and everyone was having the time of their lives, no deadly missions, no boring paperwork, just team bonding time. At least that was what was happening until some droid called 'Ultron' crashed the fun and started monologuing before attacking the group.
