[Third Person's PoV]
"I'm very tempted to take you both in," Steve said, his eyes locked on Wanda and Pietro.
Wanda ignored the comment, focusing instead on the matter at hand. "So, where is it? Where's the cradle?" she asked suspiciously.
"Don't worry about it. Stark has it. He'll take care of it," Steve replied, his tone calm but reassuring.
Wanda's eyes narrowed in disbelief. "No, no he won't."
"Stark's not crazy," Steve said defensively. "You don't know him."
Wanda's expression hardened. "Stark... He would do anything to make things right."
They stood in tense silence, the weight of unspoken concerns hanging between them. Tony and Pietro exchanged glances but chose to remain silent.
Steve broke the stalemate, turning away and pressing his comms. "Stark, come in. Stark… Anyone on comms?"
Wanda's voice cut through the quiet. "Ultron can't tell the difference between saving the world and destroying it. Where do you think he gets that?"
Steve exhaled heavily, acknowledging the point Wanda had made.
The roar of a motorcycle caught their attention. They turned to see Melissa riding one, with Master Splinter perched on the other, belonging to Captain America.
Pietro stared, bewildered. "I'm not the only one seeing this, right? You all see it too?"
"A mouse riding a motorbike. I've seen everything now. You Americans keep such strange company," Wanda said, her gaze fixed on the scene.
"This 'mouse' has a name, thank you very much. I am Master Splinter," the rat said, standing and bowing with a flourish.
Pietro blinked, turning to Wanda and mouthing, "It talks?"
Wanda looked equally perplexed, her brow furrowed in confusion.
Master Splinter gave Steve a respectful nod. "Your bike, Captain," he said, saluting before hopping onto Tony's shoulder.
"We have to get back to Stark before he does something reckless," Steve said, his expression serious.

"This framework is not compatible," Stark muttered, typing furiously as he examined a screen. The cradle loomed in front of him, with Banner pacing nearby.
"The genetic coding tower is at 97%. You need to upload the schematics in the next three minutes," Bruce warned.
"I'm gonna say this once," Steve announced, stepping into the room.
"How about non-ce?" Stark scoffed.
"Shut it down!" Steve ordered.
"Nope, not gonna happen," Stark shot back.
"You don't know what you're doing!" Steve exclaimed.
"Oh, and you do?" Bruce challenged, glaring. "She's not in your head," he added, looking at Wanda.
"I know you're angry," Wanda said, stepping out from behind Steve.
"Oh, we're way past that," Bruce retorted coldly. "I could choke the life out of you and never change a shade."
'It's so much cooler hearing it in person,' Tony thought with a slight shiver.
Tony approached, hands behind his head. "You're putting Jarvis into that thing, right? I say let him do it."
"How did you—" Stark began, a faint smile forming.
"Because that's exactly what I would've done," Tony shrugged.
"You don't get a say in the matter," Steve said firmly. "You clearly don't understand what's at stake here."
"No, I clearly do. But there's something you don't seem to get about us Starks—we never make the same mistake twice," Tony countered.
Pietro blurred into motion, but a black tendril shot out, tripping him.
"Whoa there, bucko. Where do you think you're going?" Tony smirked.
Wanda's hands glowed red, ready to attack, but Melissa intervened, sending Wanda flying back with a lash of her tendrils.
Steve flung his shield towards the computer and systems, However Master Splinter shot forth and sent his tail towards it, causing it to change course.
Seeing how everything was turning out, Stark began calling forth his armor, he gained his repulsors and shot it towards Steve, who had already recalled his shield and blocked the blast.
Pietro stood back and glared at Tony and just as he was about to charge towards him a shot rang out and in slow motion Pietro saw the bullet slowly rise in front of him.
The glass beneath Pietro shattered and he fell straight down and was surrounded by both Clint and Natasha looking down at him with a smile.
"What? Didn't see that one coming?" Clint asked with a smirk.
Wanda stood up and looked at Melissa and Tony with a glare, however before she could act Bruce appeared wrapping his arm around her neck.
"Just try and get me mad, see what would happen" Bruce warned in a low voice.
Wanda shot her energy right through her body pushing Bruce off of her.
That's when Thor appeared sliding into the room, he surveyed the infighting before rushing forwards and jumping onto of the cradle surprising everyone.
He raised his hammer to the sky and arcs of electricity flew and gathered around his hammer.
"No!" Bruce shouted in protest, seeing what Thor was planning to do.
He brought his hammer down to the cradle and charged all of the electricity he gathered through it.
Stark saw from the screen in front of him that it was overcharging with energy and power.
BOOM!
The door to the cradle flew open and Thor was sent flying back with a large blast releasing his hammer.
Steam rose from the opening of the cradle and out came a red and silver naked figure perched up open the top of the cradle. On his forehead was a bright yellow stone.
Everyone stood slightly as they stared at him and he seemed to be observing everyone around him. He charged towards Thor and Thor rolled him off his shoulders breaking right through a glass panel and flying towards the window.
However as it arrived by the window it suddenly did a complete stop. It slowly turned around and viewed the scenery.
As it was viewing the scene and itself through the window into the Night sky, Captain America jumped down from the upper floor, Thor jumped down alongside him and held out his hand towards Steve motioning him to stop.
Tony and Melissa appeared not far behind, Melissa had a curious and fascinated gaze as she viewed the Android in front of them.
Everyone was now coming down and appearing in the room where the android stood watching him carefully.
It had stopped facing the window and turned to look at everyone present, it flew back down and touched the ground and apologized, "I am sorry, That was… Odd'
It then turned towards Thor and nodded it's head, "Thank you"
The android stared at Thor for just a moment before lifting it's chest upwards slightly, a yellow cape started to materialize and form almost as if mimicking Thor's own cape.
