a bit later..

The Avengers had gathered around the dining table, the older Fury had came to talk with them. After him and his daughter said hello and gave each other a quick hug, Kai sat down with the rest of the team.

"Ultron took you folks out of play to buy himself time. My contacts all say he's building something," Fury informs, "The amount of Vibranium he made off with, I don't think it's just one thing."

"What about Ultron himself?" asks Steve.

"Ah. He's easy to track, he's everywhere. Guy's multiplying faster than a Catholic rabbit," he jokes, "Still doesn't help us get an angle on any of his plans though."

"He still going after launch codes?" questions Tony.

"Yes, he is, but he's not making any headway."

"I cracked the Pentagon's firewall in high school on a dare," brags Tony. Like per usual.

"Yeah, well, I contacted our friends at the NEXUS about that." Fury snaps back at him.

Steve furrows his eyebrows, "NEXUS?"

"It's the world internet hub in Oslo," Kai replies, "every byte of data flows through there, fastest access on earth."

"So what'd they say?" asks Clint.

"He's fixated on the missiles," Fury answers once more, "but the codes are constantly being changed."

Tony buts in, "By whom?"

"Parties unknown."

"Do we have an ally?" questions Natasha.

"Ultron's got an enemy, that's not the same thing. Still, I'd pay folding money to know who it is."

Tony nods to himself, "I might need to visit Oslo, find our "unknown.""

"Well, this is good times, boss," Natasha says to Fury, "but I was kind of hoping when I saw you, you'd have more than that."

"I do, I have you," he pauses, "Back in the day, I had eyes everywhere, ears everywhere else. Here we all are, back on earth, with nothing but our wit, and our will to save the world. So stand. Outwit the platinum bastard."

She looks at Steve smirking and hiding her laugh, "Steve doesn't like that kind of talk."

"You know what, Romanoff?" he snaps at her.

Nat's smirk grows. Kai watches the two during their short playful argument with a smile.

"So what does he want?" Fury asks before anything continues causing his daughter to groan quietly to herself. Why do people keep interrupting these amazing moments?

"To become better. Better than us," replies Steve, "He keeps building bodies."

"Person bodies. The human form is inefficient, biologically speaking, we're outmoded," says Tony, "But he keeps coming back to it."

"When you two programmed him to protect the human race," Nat looks at Tony and Bruce, "you amazingly failed."

"They don't need to be protected, they need to evolve," Bruce replies, "Ultron's going to evolve."

"How?" Fury questions.

"Has anyone been in contact with Helen Cho?"

Steve walks up to Tony, "I'll take Natasha, Kai and Clint."

"Alright, strictly recon," he replies, "I'll hit the NEXUS, I'll join you as soon as I can."
