Blue streak
“Is anyone else seeing this shit?” She asked to her teammates trough her earpiece.
The Avengers were trying to get into a Hydra base and Tony had just lowered the barrier around it. He sent his Iron Legion to protect the civilians in the city adjacent.
And she saw it again. The quick blue streak. She tried to hit it with her violet energy blasts but missed it multiple times.
“What did you see Shera?” Romanov was looking all around her until she saw it run right past her. “What the hell was that?”
“I don’t know but it’s probably not on our side so keep your distance” Steve told the other Avengers while knocking down a hydra soldier with his shield.
Sherazaad watched as it made it's way for Barton and before she could say anything he was thrown to the ground. She ran towards him and kneeled next to him as the blue streak stopped to grin at her. Silver hair, deep blue eyes and a cocky look on his face. Her eyes met his as he said, “Didn’t see that coming?” with a strong accent before he zoomed off. A speedster huh? So, Hydra got enhanced soldiers now.
“Barton’s hit, we need a medic.”

“He’s fast and she’s weird. That what Maria told me.”
Everyone was in the lab, watching Helen Cho regrow Clint’s skin with a machine.
“They’re just kids. Punks.” Clint groaned.
“And one of those kids kicked you ass” Sherazaad stated before drinking the boba tea Tony brought.
They all chuckled and Dr. Cho finally spoke.
“Alright Mr. Barton, you’re healed. Your girlfriend won’t be able to make the difference.” She gave him a smile as he stood up and stretched his back. “I don’t do girlfriends.”
“That’s something I can’t fix.” Cho laughed looking at the monitor.
Sherazaad turned to Natasha and she smiled at her. The others didn’t know about Laura and the kids. Sherazaad wasn’t really close to her family outsides her parents and siblings, so Laura was like her aunt and the “little hawkies” were the cousins she dreamed to have when she was a child.
Sherazaad watched her friends trying to convince Dr. Cho to come to the party. She smiled. That was the only family she needed.

Sherazaad walked down the stairs and looked around. Everyone was already here, even Loki. After their attack on New York, Loki was imprisoned on Asgard but Odin freed them after they helped Thor to save their realm and Jane. Loki became the king’s counselor. They were still a mischievous little shit but they surprisingly got along with Sherazaad.
She made her way to the bar where Steve just finished talking to Bruce.
“From up close ? Really Steve ?” She lifted her eyebrow. He smiled and took a sip of his drink.
“I’m just telling him about Nat’s flirtatious side.”
“It sounded more like you were telling him he got competition.” She crossed her arms and smiled at her friend. Ever since she met them, Steve and Natasha always had this tension between them but they were just friends. Nat wasn’t looking for a relationship and Steve dated Sharon Carter a few months ago. They broke up due to Steve finally realizing it was very weird to date the niece of your first love and also because Sharon came out as a lesbian. They were very good friends now.
The guests left one hour ago and only The Avengers remained with other close friends.
“Bullshit! I don’t believe you.” Clint shouted at Thor.
“Be my guest.” Thor invited him to lift the Mjolnir.
Everyone tried in vain, well except Steve who lifted it of a few millimeters. Thor then asked Natasha who declined. Steve whispered something in her ear that made her smile.
“You all aren’t worthy of lifting Mjolnir”
“Well, the first time you came on Earth, you were crying like a baby because you couldn’t lift it either so pipe it down Goldilocks.”
“Good one. Why don’t you give it a try lady Sherazaad?”
“If she lifts it I’ll make sure myself she become the Queen of Asgard.” Loki said, smirking at her.
She stood up. “Bet”. But when she was about to lift it, they heard a loud screeching noise.
“No…How could you be worthy?” they turned to see where this spine-chilling voice came from. It was a damaged Iron legion.
“You’re all killers.”
“Stark” Steve said as he stood up, ready in case anything would go wrong while Tony was trying to connect with Jarvis.
“I’m sorry I was asleep. Um, I was a dream.”
“Reboot legion we got a buggy”
“Terrible. I was tangled in those…strings. I had to kill the other guy. He was a good guy.”
Loki put their hand on Sherazaad’s shoulder to calm her down like they felt her heart starting to race.
“You killed someone?”
“Wouldn’t have been my first call but down in the real world we're faced with ugly choices”
Thor’s hand tightened around the handle of his hammer. “Who sent you?”
And the damaged robot played a record of Tony’s voice “I see a suit of armor around the world.”
There was a second of silence before Bruce turned to Tony. “Ultron.”
What the fuck was Ultron?
“In the flesh…Or no not yet, not this…Chrysalis.”
Sherazaad saw Maria hill grab her gun and Loki’s finger starting to creates green sparkles.
“But I’m ready. I’m on a mission.”
“What mission?” Natasha asked concerned.
“Peace in our time.”
An army of Iron legion broke into the room through the windows. Steve kicked a table which shielded Sherazaad and Maria. Loki started tearing the robots apart with his magic and Maria shot them.
“Tony they got the scepter!” Sherazaad shouted at him but she saw her friend being thrown to the ground by one of the robots. She tried to go help him but three robots came on her way. She blasted one and had to create an energy shield around herself. She made explode the shield which destroyed the robots around. She turned to see a robot about to shoot Helen Cho. She threw a blast at it and helped the doctor up.
“I’m sorry I know you mean well…You want to protect the world but you don’t want it to change. How’s humanity saved if it’s not allowed to…Evolve”
Ultron grabbed a carcass of another robot.
“With these? These puppets?” He said with disdain, throwing it on the floor. “There’s only one pace to peace. The Avengers extinction.”
Thor threw his hammer at Ultron and smashed him in pieces.
“I had strings but now I’m free…”
Sherazaad shivered at his voice. His last words sounded like a warning.
