Little Avenger

10b

I'm just sitting here at the dinning table, bored and completely zoned out. I keep imagining some strange things, the same things I have for years. Started when I was around five, I always see some big battle happening on a grassy land, weird beasts coming out of some ship. I only get flashes of it, never seeing the people or what really happens, just those and a white flash before it's over and I'm back.

"Lily." Tony calls.

"Hmm?"

"Fury's here."

My head shoots up and I smile excitedly, jumping out of my chair, and forcing Fury into a hug, him and the others chuckling as he hugs back.

I stand behind Tony, leaning against a wall, watching him be bad at darts.

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

"What about Ultron himself?" Steve asks.

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

"He's still going after launch codes?" Tony asks.

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

"I cracked the Pentagons firewall in high school on a dare."

"Yeah, well, I contacted our friends at the NEXUS about that."

"NEXUS?" Steve asks.

"It's the world internet hub." Banner says. "Every bit of data flows through there. Fastest access on Earth."

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

Tony begins taking his darts out of the board.

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

"By whom?" Tony asks.

Clint throws three perfect darts and Tony backs up, giving him a look for almost hitting him in the face and he just shrugs, my body shaking from silent laughter behind my hand.

"Parties unknown."

"Do we have an ally?" Nat asks.

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

"I might need to visit Oslo. Find our 'unknown'." Tony leans against the wall.

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

"I do." Fury nods. "I have you. Back in the day, I had eyes everywhere, ears everywhere else. You kids had all the tech you could dream up. Here we all are oh, back on Earth, with nothing but our wit, and our will to save the world. Ultron says the Avengers are the only thing between him and his mission. And whether or not he admits it, his mission is global destruction. All this, laid in a grave. So stand. Outwit the Platinum bastard."

"Steve doesn't like that kind of talk." Nat teases.

"You know what, Romanoff?" Steve asks with raised brows.

"So, what does he want?" Fury continues.

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

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

"When you two programmed him to protect the human race, you amazingly failed." Nat states.

"They don't need to be protected." Banner states. "They need to evolve. Ultron's going to evolve."

"How?" Fury asks.

"Has anyone been in contact with Helen Cho?"
