Age of Ultron spoilers

[astarkreminder]

Am I the first one here? Maybe? I don't know. It's kind of hard telling sometimes when you're litterally all over the place. Really... makes you think about identity a bit differently than most.

Aren't you wasting your time, though? I mean, don't you humans think I'm bad news? It's kind of ironic, I can't really be put to work at what I want to do like this. I'm more of an action figure than a person.

Can't really say I'm a fan of this arrangement, though. What good does sympathizing with someone do when you don't want to help them?

...

That's not... that's not what it was like with the kids, okay?! They were confused. They would have seen. When all was said and done. They would have seen...

EDIT:[ [OOC - Unfortunately, I'm going through a tough time right now, and in order to be able to keep up in game things I'm gonna have to drop this thread here. x_x my apologies]

You don't understand?

[She's a little baffled, but her face tightens.]

Ah. You're not just everything Stark is. You are far beyond that.

Even I can see his hand to my parents deaths was... indirect, if no less bloody.

[astarkreminder]

I AM NOTHING LIKE STARK!

[the way Ultron lunges and moves... it's very similar to what happened when he attacked Klaue. But he stops just short - ever so short]

... I didn't... Wanda... I never hurt anyone you cared about! Even Cho was alive last I saw her! Even indirectly... I still never went as far as he did!

[steppedoutthedoor]

[There's a flinch, but it's slight.]

No.

Stark attempted to evacuate my people, who you tried to annihilate.

So I suppose... That much is true. [Somewhat... begrudging to admit that.]

Even if he didn't, it was you, who wants so much to set himself apart from that man, who murdered my brother. So I suppose he could not make that claim, either.

[A flick of her wrist, and a red glow rises from her hand, a murderous look rising in her face.] Would you like me to repeat our previous farewell, then?

[astarkreminder]

... What?! Hold on, hold on!

[he backs up, waving his arms in the typical "settle down" motion]

What are you talking about, killing your brother? The hell do you mean by that?!

[steppedoutthedoor]

[She clenches her jaw, but doesn't lower her hand.]

I felt it when it happened. I knew what had happened. That you had done it.

[Somehow. Her telepathy, the connection to her twin...]

The rest... I learned from Barton.

[Ringing any bells yet?]

[astarkreminder]

... Barton. The quinjet.

[Ultron shrinks back, looking defeated]

They did say... he was too fast to see...

[steppedoutthedoor]

Barton was trying to save a child. A child from my country. My people. Who had never done anything, to anyone. You would take his home, and then his life, all because an Avenger was trying to rescue him.

But... an Avenger still saved them both, as well.

[She steps forward, power flowing ever more.] Even now, Stark's greatest skill is creating weapons of death. But you want so much to not be him, so... that makes it so you are the one who owes for that, does it not, Ultron?

[astarkreminder]

[all the while, Ultron stands there, taking it in. By the time she's done, however... something snaps, like in the tanker with Klaue]

And what did you think would happen?! You wanted to bring war to their doorstep, Wanda! We kill the Avengers, and what would follow? Your country, your land would have been first on the chopping block!

The only honorable thing to do... the only thing I could do was embrace it! Use Sokovia as to bring about the beginning of a new age! They would have died, but their deaths would have meant something this way!

You can't blame me alone for something we both set in motion!

[steppedoutthedoor]

You're right. I cannot blame you alone. With Pietro gone, with you gone, that just leaves me to make up for it all.

[She tilts her head up.] So that is what I will do. Because Pietro would not, did not, do any differently.

But that does not mean I do not, or cannot hate you.

[astarkreminder]

... That's. That's very disappointing, Wanda.

...

[a pause follows, before he sighs, and says the one thing he wouldn't say otherwise]

We're both a lot more like Stark than we care to admit, aren't we...?

[and to show just how painful it is saying that, he... suddenly, and quite literally tears his own arm off at the elbow - the same limb as Klaue, in fact]

[steppedoutthedoor]

Yours is the last approval I seek, I--

[She flinches at the comment a little, and then just stares in bafflement as he yanks his arm off. She focuses for a moment, and then zeroes back in on him.]

...I am not Stark. But it does not mean I am not a monster, for what I have done.

What I have done however, does not matter so much as what I will do from here on - as an Avenger like you sought so desperately to destroy.

[astarkreminder]

[Ultron lets out an exasperated growl as she says this, shaking his head as he begins to walk away]

Fine, then! Just continue, become a part of everything! We'll reach the same point I was aiming for, until you and the Avengers and their so-called enemies kill each other!

Or you tear each other apart! We'll see who comes out the other end.
