A scream of agony fills the air, and Skyler's head swivels around towards one sentence: "You didn't see that coming?" Pietro Maximoff falls towards the ground, heavily wounded. Panicked, Skyler teleports towards the speedster and Clint Barton, who clenches a little boy in his arms, whilst hiding behind a car.
"I can still save him, Clint." Skyler announces, a green glow coming from her palms. The young princess heals the most critical wounds, before giving Pietro a small shock of lightning with her fingers. The man wakes up but is barely alive.
"Skyler get down!" Clint yells, trying to push her away when a robot is aiming its blasts at her, but he's too late. The blast scratches her stomach, making the witch stumble backwards, eying the wound curiously.
"Ah, it's nothing. I'll live." She mumbles, seeing that it barely bleeds. Meanwhile, Clint has brought the little boy back to his mother and he's now taking Pietro over his shoulder, making him stand.
"Hey, guys... Pietro's down, not dead, but nearly. I can save him... but I'm afraid that Clint and I will have to leave this scene..." Skyler tells the Avengers over coms.
"He's part of the team, right? Do what you need to do, Sky."Natasha says, the other team-members agreeing with her.
"Please, Skyler..." Wanda pleads, "please, safe my brother."
"I will." Skyler states, picking up her bow and walking towards Clint, "Hold on tight, Barton, we're going to Britain!" She smirks, knowing that her unannounced trip of two days will have caused some havoc at her school.
"Yes, you go to Britain, but send Urikson my best, alright?" A robot says, Ultron voicing through it. Skyler's eyes widen, and she grabs Clint and Pietro tightly.
"We might have a problem." She mumbles.

"Where are these things coming from?!" Kingsley Shacklebolt yells, as he creates a shield around Hogwarts once more. An army of robots, lead by an unfamiliar man, is attacking the school at mid-day.
"Better be asking how to destroy them!" Tonks yells back, retrieving for the infirmary with the older Auror, who's hurt badly at his shoulder.
"My Merlin, every year they have another challenge for me, here." Madame Pomfrey sighs, clearing a bed for Kingsley.
"Madame Pomfrey!" Skyler Foster suddenly yells, two wounded man at her sides, "I need your help... please... he's dying." She begs, revealing the wounds at the legs and thighs of the silver-haired boy.
"Glad you finally showed up, Ms. Foster. The castle is under attack. Considering that you're in full armour, could you please do something about it? All fifth to seventh years are trying to blow those things up, but they don't seem to succeed." The nurse explains, as she gives Pietro a place as well. Curiously, Skyler looks out of the window, and immediately, the skies darken with thunder and the ground is concealed in fog.
"Urikson." Skyler growls, her features dark and her entire body radiating lightning. She tells Clint to stay with Pietro and Madame Pomfrey, for she knows that the speedster is going to be confounded once healed.
Skyler runs out of the infirmary and runs up to the Astronomy Tower, her bow and arrow ready to fire. She shoots her entire quiver empty on the robots, which are nineteen arrows and twenty-two robots. Then, she conjures two swords out of black liquid, and jumps right towards Einar Urikson, her sworn enemy. The lightning hits her on her way, strengthening her. Fifteen robots are destroyed once she hits the ground, the fog fading a little, giving certain students a way to see what is going on.
"Ah, there she is. Her Royal Highness, the princess who just doesn't want to die." Urikson snarls, smirking as devilish as Skyler remembers, "Though I am wondering how you'd functionate knowing that I'm truly elsewhere..."
The thirty robots that are left, attack Skyler all at once, giving the poor girl no space to prepare or shield herself against the attack. Hellish pain pierces through her body when one of the robots appears to have a knife. Her side is bleeding, but the adrenaline keeps Skyler going... this time, she'll win.
"Bombarda Maxima!"another voice exclaims, revealing Professor Dumbledore standing there, blowing seven of those metal boxes to oblivion.
"Eat that, scrap metal." Skyler smirks, drawing her own sword and wand, taking eleven other bots, not aware that the last one is at her back, slicing a knife through her right shoulder.
The familiar taste of blood fills Skyler's lips and she's frozen to her place, her only care: removing the knife, or rather said, finger of the robot. She can't move her right arm, she can only use her left hand to create a small shield around her, removing the iron blade carefully.
"Skyler, are you alright?"
