A few hours later, Bruce and Tony call everyone into the lab. You were in your room in the tower, so your walk was a bit longer than everyone else's.
You get in to a very angry Steve, which nearly stopped you in your tracks at his tone, "You have to be OUT OF YOUR MIND to do this!"
Tony doesn't even look-up at Steve, "We need this for what's coming."
Thor looks from Steve, to Tony, to the machine, to Loki, "Loki. Explain."
Loki has been taking in the work of Tony and Bruce, "The Mind Stone is one of the most powerful objects in the 9 realms. It is one of 6 Infinity Stones."
"So it will be useful against Ultron," Thor half asks and states.
Loki nods, but Steve cuts in, "Yes, seeing as Bruce and Stark's first attempt worked out SO well."
Your eyes widen. You've never seen Steve act this way. In between people speaking, one could probably hear the traffic around 70 floors below them.
"You cannot do this!" Wanda moves off of the wall towards the group.
Right when Wanda finishes her sentence, Pietro, her brother, runs around the lab, unplugging everything from the machine.
"Seriously?" Bruce taps the keyboard on his desk, which has now gone completely black.
Tony finally looks at the group, "We have another chance to make this right!"
"And if it all goes wrong...AGAIN?!" Wanda's voice has now raised as well.
Just as Tony was about to speak, Thor jumps onto the case, Mjolnir held in the air, with lightning suddenly connecting it to all around the room like a tree with branches.
Loki's eyes widen and he scans the room, "Everyone get back!"
Thor then slams Mjolnir onto the case, that same energy now surging through it.
The case starts to glow brighter and brighter, when you suddenly feel someone turn you around, shielding your body with theirs. Less than 2 seconds later, the case explodes, sending glass everywhere.
The room is silent for what feels like a minute, but is really only about 5 more seconds. You slowly turn around, the body just now lightly pressed to your back.
Loki steps back from you, not making any direct eye contact, "You are alright?"
You nod twice, "I'm...y-yea. Good. Th..." you're sentence is cut short when you see the red being now hovering over the shattered case.
Everyone's attention is now brought to the same place as yours. The figure stares back and then flies at Thor, who hits it, almost like a game of baseball. The being breaks through one of the glass walls and into the main room, stopping right in front of the windows of the tower.
"I'm sorry; that was...odd," the figure turns around. "Thank you."
No one says a word, until Thor, "Stark was right; the Avengers cannot defeat Ultron. Not alone." He's ignored the elephant, or rather the thing that came out of the case, in the room, and just offered an explanation for his actions.
"Not alone," your heads turn back from Thor to the figure by the window.
Steve squints, "Why does it sound like JARVIS?"
"I am not Ultron. I am not JARVIS. I am...." the voice trails to a whisper.
Wanda steps forward once again, "I have looked in your head and seen annihilation."
"Look again," it directs.
"We have seen nothing yet as to what Ultron can unleash. But with it....THIS on our side..." Thor motions to the being.
"Is it? Are you?" Steve folds his arms. "On our side?"
"I am on the side of life. Ultron, is not. He will end it all," Steve gets his reply.
"What's he waiting for?" Steve continues.
"You," it nods at the entire group.
"Where?" A usually quiet Pietro speaks up.
"Sakovia."
"Then that's where we go," Tony types the location into a tablet.
"You're going to need me," Bruce looks to Tony, "Well, the big guy I guess, so who will handle controls and tech?"
You stand-up, "I'll pack a bag."
Tony's head turns to yours so fast, you almost think it'll keep turning around, "What? No!"
"That's not what I mean..." Bruce says in unison with Tony.
"We'll all meet back here in 20," Steve walks out of the room.
Everyone follows his lead, leaving Tony shaking his head, "Son of a bitch."
