Little Avenger

I had made it to the tower before Steve, Wanda, and Pietro and just got to the lab with Bruce and Tony as Clint walks out.

"I can work on tissue degeneration if you could fry whatever system Cho implanted." Banner states and I stop by the wall, peaking into the room, not visible to them.

"Yeah, about that." Tony starts.

"... No."

"You have to trust me."

"Kinda don't."

"Our ally, the guy protecting the military nuclear codes, I found him."

Tony brings up a hologram of a fixed Jarvis and I instantly smile widely.

"Hello, Dr. Banner."

"Ultron didn't go after Jarvis because he was angry." Tony continues. "He attacked him because he was scared of what he can do. So, Jarvis went underground. Scattered, dumped his memory. But, not his protocols. He didn't even know he was in there until I pieced him together."

"So, you want me to help you put Jarvis into this thing?"

"No. Of course not. I wanna help you put Jarvis into this thing. We're out of my field, here. You know bio-organics better than anyone."

"And you just assume that Jarvis' operational matrix can beat Ultrons?"

"Jarvis has been beating him from inside without knowing it. This is the opportunity. We can create Ultrons perfect self without the homicidal glitches he thinks are his winning personality. We have to."

"I believe it's worth a go." Jarvis states.

"I do, too." I step out of the wall and they jump. "It seems like a good idea. And, yeah, I was listening the whole time."

"Good to see you, Lily."

"Dude, you have no idea." I chuckle and Tony smiles.

"I'm in a loop!" Banner freaks. "I'm caught in a time loop. This is exactly where it all went wrong."

"I know." Tony walks to him. "I know. I know what everyone's gonna say. But, they're already saying it. We're mad scientist. She's just mad." He points to me and I smile with a nod. "We're monsters, buddy. We've gotta own it. Make a stand... It's not a loop. It's the end of the line."

Banner continues to hesitate before sighing and nodding along.

"Alright." He sighs. "Fine."

"Jarvis will be a real being? Is one of the things I gathered from that?"

"Yep." Tony nods proudly.

"Cool."
