Ellaria's POV

As the party ended all of us sat on Tony's couch talking. Clint speaks up, "but it's a trick." Thor chuckles, "No, no, it's much more than that."

Clint narrows his eyes pointing to Thor's hammer, "Ah, whoever be he worth shall haveth the power." Clint stops his personation of Thor. I couldn't help but burst out laughing. "Whatever man. It's a trick"

Thor laughs right after me gesturing to his hammer, "Please, be my guest." Tony looks at Clint, "Come on."

"Really? Clint stands up and Rhode makes his side comment, "oh, this is gonna be beautiful." Tony gets my attention by giving my forearm a light hit. "Clint you've had a tough week. We won't hold it against you if you can't get it up."

I stood up to sit by my mom watching all the boys try to pick up the hammer. When Steve gets up to try, I could hear my mom whisper in my ear.

"Don't even think about." I start to blush and push my mom's arm. I turn to look back at the show to see him pick it up slightly. I held my breath until he gave up and Thor laugh nervously. Everyone looked to Nat to give it a try. But she refused. Thor looks me and my mother to give it a try.

"Sorry Thor, but I'm not in the mood to ruin your masculinity." My mother said. But I jumped off and gave it a try. I grabbed on the hammer and felt myself in a different perspective. I looked at Thor and gave him a sad smile. I didn't want to say anything.

"Are you okay Ellaria?" Thor asked worried.

"Mother is right- "I let go of the hammer – "I shouldn't destroy your masculinity either." I walk up to my mother and sat down next to her.

"It's rigged," Tony says with Clint patting his back, "You bet your ass."

Maria points at Clint joking with Steve, "Steve he said a bad language word."

Steve sighs looking at Steve, "You told them?"

They all were laughing but the thoughts and what I saw were bugging me. All I saw was Thor's brother, Loki, being killed by a big purple guy. "It's Thor fingerprints right." Tony pointed out.

"A simpler one is that you are all not worthy." Thor just pointed it out plainly. I couldn't help but giggle. While everyone else groans. Thor points to my mother. "Expect for you Eleanor." My mother just rolls her eyes scoffing at his comment.

Within seconds a loud high pitch happens making us cover our ears and wince. And out of nowhere, a creepy voice came screeching. "Worthy." I followed everyone's gaze to see a messed-up robot looking disheveled.

It paused for a second- "No." The robot turns around. "How could you be worthy?" It started to walk closer to us. "You're all killers."

Steve kept his eyes on the robot. I could tell he was alert. My mother walks in front of me. I start walking backward. "Stark?" Steve called out.

"Jarvis?" Tony ignored Steve trying to reach Jarvis, but it seems like he couldn't.

I could feel my heart about to jump out of my chest. "I'm sorry, I was asleep. Or I was a- dream." He looked straight at us. Something did not feel right.

"Reboot Legionnaire OS. We got a buggy suit." Tony said urgently trying to get Jarvis. That is when the robot kept talking.

"There was this terrible noise. And I was tangled in... in...strings." He looked up as if he was trying to see our reaction- "I had to kill the other guy. He was a good guy."

"You killed someone?" Steve replied. "Wouldn't have been my first call. But, down in the real world, we're faced with ugly choices."

"Who sent you?" Thor asked. The robot answered playing an audio clip of what sounded like Tony. "I see a suit of armor around the world."

I looked at Tony seeing his realization on what was going on. Banner immediately said the robot's name. "Ultron." "In the flesh." Ultron quickly corrected himself as Banner kept looking at Tony. "Or, no, not yet."

I wanted to run. I felt every part of bones shaking. I need to get a grip I know I can take him on. "Nat this chrysalis. But I'm ready. I'm on a mission."

"What mission?" Nat asked getting armed. My mother started to mumble spells under her breath. "Peace in our time."

Within seconds Tony's other robots sprouted out of the wall. I was pushed down with my mother. Huffing I looked at my mom to see if she was okay. My mother quickly got up and started to fight. I looked around and saw Helen hiding behind the piano. I ran as quickly as I could to her. The one of those robots jumped in front of me. He was about to aim at me until he stopped. "Nothing on record for Ellaria Margot Gorman. Clean." He was then pulled away from me by Steve as he threw him to Thor crushing him with his hammer. I quickly turn around grabbing Helen and running upstairs.

As we were running, I could hear Ultron. "That was dramatic. I'm sorry, I know you mean well. You just didn't think it through."

I told Helen to run to my room and hid in my closet. I look only to see the Avengers. Steve walked up. Tony was catching his breath. Even though they got all of those robots they were catch by surprise. "You want to protect the world, but you don't want it to change. How is humanity saved if it's not allowed to evolve?'

I walked closer to the railing to see Ultron picking up one of the other robots. "Humanity can't be saved by dictation." He turned to look at me. "How would you know? You are not even fully human."

With one flick of my wrist, he was ripped apart. My eyes staring at the lifeless metal laying on the floor. "Ellaria." I knew my eyes were the bright silver hue. I blinked a few times calming down. "Mom?" I look to her seeing her smile. "You are okay."

I gave her a small smile. I looked around my mother to see widened eyes. Instantly my smile vanished. They were staring at me. I looked away again looking at Ultron's body. Well shit.
