08; the guy with that
brand thingy

"All our work is gone." Banner throws down the tablet in his hands, startling Chastity who stands in Natasha's embrace. "Sorry, Chas. Ultron cleared out, used the internet as an escape hatch."

Natasha pipes up from behind Chastity, "He's been in everything. Files, surveilance, probably knows more about us than we know about each other." She rests her chin on the top of Chastity's head.

James Rhodes scoffs. "He's in your files, he's in the internet. What if he decides to acess something a little more exciting?"

"Nuclear codes." Maria finishes, James agrees.

"Look, we need to make some calls. Assuming we still can." The group falls quiet for a moment.

"Nukes?" Nat questions. "He said he wanted us dead." Chastity frowns.

"He didn't say dead, he said extinct." She argues, tilting her head up to see her mom. "He also said he killed somebody."

"But there wasn't anybody else in the building." Maria points out.

Tony walks in, "yes there was." He flicks his phone, sending out a hologram of what used to be JARVIS's matrix.

"This is insane." Bruce comments, mostly to himself.

"JARVIS was the first line of defense. He would have shut Ultron down, it makes sense." Chastity frowns again, what did JARVIS ever do to deserve this.

"No, Ultron could've assimilated JARVIS. This isn't strategy this is... rage."

Suddenly Loki and Thor storm in. Thor advances on Tony but Loki beats him to it. He grabs him by the throat and lifts him into the air.

"Woah, woah, woah! It's going around!" Clint observes.

"Come on." Tony chokes out to Loki, "Use your words, buddy." The two women in Loki's life step forward, ready to pull him off.

"I have more than enough words to describe you, Stark." His voice is eerily calm as he speaks to Tony, still in his grasp.

"Loki, Thor! The legionaire." Steve's call distracts Loki enough to release Tony, who coughs. Loki steps back to his daughter, who wraps her arms around his waist.

"Trail went cold about a hundred miles out, but its headed north, and it has the scepter. Now we have to retrieve it, again." Thor complains, mostly to Loki who fumes silently. He really wanted to keep that scepter away from earth.

"Genie is out of the bottle. Ultron is clear and present." Nat crosses her arms as she speaks.

Helen Cho shakes her head, and Chastity is forced to wonder why she's even still here. "I don't understand. You built this program; why is it trying to kill us?"

Tony begins to laugh; practically shaking with it. Bruce subtly shakes his head at his partner, trying to get him to stop.

"You think this is funny?" Thor demands. The youngest of the group looks around to gauge the temperment of the room.

"No." Tony pauses. "It's probably not, right? Is this very terrible? Is it so... is it so... it is. It's so terrible."

Thor laughs mockingly, "This could have been avoided if you hadn't played with something you don't understand."
