The Avengers stood in the lab, all watching Bruce and Tony look through the mainframe and team files.

"All our work is gone. Ultron cleared out, used the internet as an escape hatch." Bruce said with a sigh, looking at the worn faces of the team. Steve just looked back and wiped his face with his hand, "Ultron" he repeated.

"He's been in everything. Files, surveillance. Probably knows more about us than we know about each other." Natasha said with a shrug. Rhea looked at the woman next to her, eyebrows raised. The red head just sent her a sad smile and Rhea put her face into her hands.

"He's in your files, he's in the internet. What if he decides to access something a little more exciting?" Rhodes added, crossing his arms across his chest and tilt his head. "Nuclear codes." Maria clarified.

Rhea's head rose up, "Nuclear codes? If this thing wants us dead, why go so big? Can't it be a smaller, more peaceful death at least?" She said, moving her head back in annoyance.

"He didn't say dead. He said extinct." Steve said shortly, looking to the girl next to him.

"He also said he killed somebody" Clint said, raising his hand slightly. Rhea gulped and looked at Tony, who was already looking at her. He sent her a nod telling her everything would be okay. She looked down and just listened.

"But there wasn't anyone else in the building." Maria spoke with a questioning tone.

"Yes, there was" Tony said, pulling up a now destroyed 3D image of Jarvis. The orange hologram was shattered and glitching.

"This is insane." Bruce shook his head. Steve looked over to him, "Jarvis was the first line of defense. He would 've shut Ultron down, it makes sense." He shrugged his shoulders and Rhea nodded in response, but Bruce only shook his head again.

"No, Ultron could've assimilated Jarvis. This isn't strategy, this is...rage." He looked towards the screen and sighed. Rhea and Natasha followed his actions, "An insane, killer, angry robot on the loose...great" Rhea laughed with no emotion.

Thor suddenly bolted over to Tony, grabbing his neck and lifting him from the ground. Everyone gasps and Rhea's head pops up, "Thor!" She yells, running up behind him to try and pull him off Tony.

"Come on. Use your words, buddy." Stark says to Thor calmy, holding the god's hand on his neck in the air. Rhea just continues to look between the two with wide eyes.

"I have more than enough words to describe you, Stark." Thor scoffs loudly.

"Thor!" Steve yells. "The legionnaire."
Thor looks over his shoulder to Rhea and behind her Steve, he calms down and lets Tony go roughly.

"Trail went cold about a hundred miles out but its headed north, and it has the scepter. Now we have to retrieve it, again." He said gruffly.

"I don't understand. You built this program. Why is it trying to kill is?" Helen Cho asked.

Tony started laughing and ignored Bruce's attempts to stop him and Rhea's disapproving glare.

Thor looked over at him with fury in his eyes, "You think this is funny?" He asked.

Tony shook his head and laughed even more. "No. It's probably not, right? Is this very terrible? Is it so...is it so...it is so terrible."

"This could've been avoided if you hadn't played with something you don't understand." Thor scoffed.

Tony smiled. "No, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. It is funny. It's a hoot that you don't get why we need this."
Bruce looked over with widened eyes, "Tony, maybe this might not be the time to..."
