THE AVENGERS WERE BACK IN SOKOVIA. Pietro and Y/N helped evacuate as many Sokovian citizens as they could along with alerting the authorities. Wanda did most of the heavy lifting, since she mind controlled most of the Sokovians so they could leave.
Bruce snuck into Ultron's hideout to rescue Natasha, while the rest of the Avengers did their part in the evacuation.
Tony met up with Ultron at an abandoned church, where he revealed the machine that would complete his plan...the Doomsday Trigger. Ultron then began summoning robots from the ground.
Y/N was with Clint when they arrived. Hawkeye shot two of them down with his arrows, while Y/N shot at them with armor-piercing rounds from his rifle.
One of Ultron's robots activated a blaster and shot at a group of civilians. Wanda used her powers to create a force field, protecting them.
"Run!" Wanda shouted at the people. The robot kept shooting until it finally knocked Wanda down.
Y/N ran up to the robot and stuck his knife into its neck. He began prying and pulling its head, taking it off of its body.
Y/N ran over to Wanda and helped her up. "More of them might be coming."
Suddenly, the ground began to shake. It got stronger, and the pavement began to crack.
Nearby, Tony asked his new AI, F.R.I.D.A.Y, what was going on.
"Sokovia is going for a ride."
Ultron had activated the machine and was going to make Sokovia float hundreds of thousands of feet in the air.
Ultron began to speak from above, his voice coming through the many robots in the city so the team can hear.
"Do you see the beauty of it? The inevitability. You rise, only to fall."
Buildings stared to collapse, bridges began to break, and roads opened up with deep cracks.
"You, the Avengers, you are my meteor. My swift and terrible sword. And the earth will crack with the weight of your failure."
Y/N and Wanda ran through the streets and avoided collapsing rubble. They take cover behind a van and see Clint nearby. He shot down a robot.
"Purge me from your computers, turn my own flesh against me. It means nothing."
Another robot flew by, replacing the one Clint destroyed.
"When the dust settles, the only thing living in this world will be metal."

PIETRO RAN BY Ultron sentries and took them down using his speed. By the bridge, Steve was fighting off robots too until he was knocked back by one that flew by.
"Cap, you got incoming." Tony radioed Steve.
Steve groanded, "Incoming already came in."
He got up, and began communicating with the rest of the team.
"Stark, you worry about bringing the city back down safely. The rest of us have one job, tear these things apart."
Y/N shot at more robots in front of him while Clint and Wanda handled more from behind.
"You get hurt, hurt them back. You get killed, walk it off."
Pietro caught his breath, then continued on with the fight.
More robots started flying into the area Y/N, Clint, and Wanda were at. Wanda used her powers to push some back while Clint flipped over one robot and shot it in the face. Y/N leaped off a car and shot two of them down before landing back on his feet.
They only took down a few out of the many that were surrounding them. The robots all began shooting from their blasters, and Clint motioned at Wanda and Y/N to run with him.
"Move!"
They followed Hawkeye while one robot was about to kamikaze attack the trio. They crashed through a window into a small house as the robot exploded.
Clint helped the two up before going over to the window to peek out.
"How could I let this happen?" Wanda began to cry. Y/N noticed this.
"Hey, hey, you okay?" He asked the young woman.
"This is all our fault."
"Hey, look at me."
Wanda looked up at Y/N.
"It's your fault, my fault, it's everyone's fault. Who cares? Are you up for this?" He said.
Wanda didn't respond, still trying to catch her breath.
"Are you? Look, I just need to know. Because...well, the city is flying."
Y/N tried to think of more things to say amidst the fight that was going on outside. Clint was behind him shooting from his bow.
"Okay, the city is flying...we're fighting an army of robots...and I'm trying to fight them with bullets and a knife." Y/N began to say.
"And I have a bow and arrow. None of this makes sense." Clint chimed in.
Y/N kept looking at Wanda, "But I'm going back out there because it's my job. It's what I signed up for."
Wanda remembered when she looked inside his head. She understood why he did what he did and why he was an Avenger.
"It doesn't matter what you did or what you were. You go out there, you fight. If you want to stay, that's fine, I will call your brother to come find you."
Blasts from the sentries outside shot into the house. The three duck down but it quickly subsided.
"But I know you have what it takes. If you step out that door, you are an Avenger." Y/N finished.
Wanda took it all in. She blamed herself for what happened, but Y/N didn't care. He believed that she can redeem herself and help win the fight against Ultron.
"Okay. Good chat." Y/N nodded, then took out his pistols. Clint went over with him towards the door.
"The city is flying." Clint tried to process.
Y/N remembered the fight in New York three years ago. "I miss the simple fights we had in Manhattan."
Y/N kicked open the door, and the duo ran out to fight the sentries.
Clint rapidly shot from his bow, and lastly equipped an explosive arrow. He leaped over a car and shot a robot in midair, landing behind the vehicle.
"Ow." Clint breathed out, feeling his age after landing on his knee.
Y/N shot his dual wield pistols and dodged blasts from the robots. He noticed more of them arrive, and quickly slid over behind a barrier.
Suddenly, the door of the house they were just in flew open. Wanda walked out, her eyes glowing red. She used her psionic powers to push back a robot, then got a hold of one and ripped it in half. She used the top half of the robot to destroy the third sentry in front of her.
Clint quickly got out of cover and shot three robots down simultaneously. Wanda channeled an orb of red energy and blasted three more robots into pieces.
Y/N got out of cover and jogged towards Clint and Wanda, the new Avenger. He was impressed, even developing a sort of crush.
He wasn't going to admit it though.
"Wow, now that was amazing." Y/N remarked, mentioning Wanda.
"Yeah, I know. My bow can shoot three at a time." Clint joked.
The three of them chuckle, and Y/N decided to speak into his earpiece. "Alright, we're clear here."
On the other side of the city, Steve continued fighting the robots. "We are very not clear!"
"All right, we're coming to you." Clint replied.
Suddenly, Pietro ran by, grabbing Wanda. "Keep up, old man!"
Pietro sped away, leaving the two of them. Y/N laughed at Pietro's remark.
Clint looked at his friend, "Would you keep it a secret if I shot him down right now?"
