Nathan found himself trapped in a nightmare so familiar. It's one he hadn't stopped having ever since he came to the past. He hadn't told anyone. He couldn't tell anyone. He was their leader. He was supposed to have all the answers. What would it look like if he couldn't stop giving into his fears every single day and night? Wishing and wondering if there was possibly anything he could do to at least check on Davina and his family. He left them when they needed him the most and he didn't even know if they were alive. Did Ultron kill them? Did changing the past erase them? Was an alternate timeline created and if so did they survive in the original timeline? These questions and more ran through his mind on a loop. Missions distracted him a little, but every time he was having fun with this family he felt like he was failing the ones that truly depended on him. It was nearly driving him insane.

This time his nightmare felt more real than before. Like he was actually back in his time. He could smell the sulfur, the smoke and dust mixed together. That poor quality of air. Ultron was meant to save the world. He couldn't believe this was his definition of saving it. Nathan ran to where the X-Bunker was supposed to be, but when he got there all he saw was destruction. The bunker was caved in and there were only a few who could've survived that. Did Ultron kill off the rest? He began to dig through the rubble to see if there was anyone, at least a sign of anyone inside. His hands were starting to get dirty with dirt, rock dust, and his own blood when he heard the sound of metal pressing against the ground behind him.

Nathan turned around to see Ultron himself. In an instant his armor watch activated, surrounding his body. He punched Ultron, but the robot simply caught his fist. [color=silver]"Pathetic. I would've thought the one that bested me to be better than this."[/color]

A compartment opened atop the wrist of Nathan's armor firing a tank missile directly at Ultron's face. Nathan jumped back from the explosion, but knew that wasn't enough to take out his world's greatest villain. When the smoke cleared revealing Ultron to still be there he yelled out, [color=669999]"What have you done to my family!?"[/color]

[color=silver]"I've killed them. Every single last one. The initial blast took out quite a number of the rats. A lot more of you survived than I thought. My army took out the survivors, but I personally killed your family and that Spectacular Spider-Girl of yours. They put up quite the fight, but she had faith that you'd come back and save her. Save all of them. She died being wrong of course."[/color]

If armor could cry this Tin Man would cry himself rusty. The tears poured out on the inside blurring his vision from accurately seeing the HUD display. He would've realized none of this was real otherwise. But that didn't matter now. All he saw was red. [color=669999]"I'll destroy you!!!"[/color] He yelled shooting repulsor beams at the robotic menace. He took everything from him. He lost everything.

Ultron responded with beams of his own creating a clash that erupted into a smokescreen. Nathan charged through the smokescreen to punch Ultron in the face. His punch landed sending the robot flying backwards. Nathan wouldn't let up though. He continued to fly after Ultron stopping behind him to catch him by the back of his neck. He slammed Ultron into the ground and started piling on him with beams of energy making sure he wouldn't be able to get up again.
