“What is light? What have we learned so far?” Our science teacher asks the class “Steven”
“Light is an electromagnetic wave which is emitted from a hot body” Steven, a boy in my class, answers
“That’s correct. Emma?” Mrs. Madden speaks, looking at Emma
“Light produces sensation of sight on human eye?” Emma answers but it’s more a question
“Yes, Jason” Mrs. Madden calls out
“All colors depend on light” Jason answers as well
“Correct” She confirms “Does anyone know how we produce lights?” Is the next question of Mrs. Madden
“You turn the lights on” A student jokes and some chuckle
“Very funny, Maven?” Mrs. Madden says as she sees me holding my hand in the air
“Can’t light just generate by changes in movement of electrically charged particles, like parts of 'heated' molecules, or electrons in atoms?” I ask in curiosity
“That’s a good question Maven. And the answer to your question is, yes” Mrs. Madden answers and continues to explain to us how lights work even though I already know everything.
I look at the clock above the door and wait.
Art class, my favorite subject. When the teacher announced that we are going to draw a spider or a wasp today, my head snapped back to Peter Parker- the kid from one of my classes. The one who’s going to be a spider-bitten-muscle-nerd some day. And to get it out of my head, I decided to draw a spider a few seconds ago.
I was on my second leg as two kids approached me.
“Maven right?” The boy asks me
“Yeah?” I say and look up to the two of them
“You know, since you can draw and we can’t, cou-” The other boy with brown curly hair tries to say
“-could I draw it for you? No” I cut him off and turn back to my Parker-Spider
“Bu-” The first guy starts but I put my earbuds in and can’t hear him anymore
I look at my drawing but I see their feet walking away and I roll my eyes. Why do people always want me to draw their assignments for them? It’s annoying, it’s cheating and I hate it. Like, learn to draw instead of playing video games then and leave me be. I continue with the second leg and it looks good so far.

After all the running, Pietro is leaning against a lantern. He’s panting very heavily, trying to catch his breath. Wanda walks up to her brother, steadying him.
“I’m fine” He breathes out and sits down “I just need to take a minute” Pietro assures Wanda
“I’m very tempted not to give you one” Cap says as he walks up to the twins
“The Cradle. Did you get it?” Wanda asks
“Stark will take care of it” Steve assures her
Wanda backs away in disbelief, she shakes her head and tells Captain “No, he won’t”
There’s a long silence “You don’t know what you’re talking about” Cap answers, breaking the silence “Stark’s not crazy”
“He will do anything to make things right” Wanda explains and Cap looks at her, realizing she’s right
He looks to the side, speaking into his earpiece.
“Stark, come in” Steve says and gets no answer “Stark” He again but no response from Iron-Man “Anyone on comms” Steve gets no answer
“ULTRON can’t tell the difference between saving the world and destroying it. Where do you think he gets that?” Wanda asks
Meanwhile, Tony and Bruce are busy trying to open the box with ULTRON's new body. Stark walks into the room with Bruce, Clint and the Cradle.
“Anything on Nat?” Bruce asks
“I haven’t heard” Tony answers “But she’s alive, or ULTRON would be rubbing our faces in it” Tony assures him while Clint jumps of the Cradle
“This is sealed tight” Clint states
“We’re gonna need to access the program, break it down from within” Bruce explains
“Any chance Natashs might leave you a message outside the Internet? Old-school spy stuff?” Tony asks Clint
“There are some nets I can cast. Yeah, I’ll find her” Clint assures himself more than the others and walks off. Tony looks after him with a raised eyebrow.
“I can work on tissue degeneration if you could fry whatever operational system Cho implanted” Bruce says and presses some things on the holo-screen of the cadle
“Yeah, about that” Tony answers, scratching the back of his head and Bruce looks up at him
Bruce realizes what he wants to do “NO” He answers immediately
“You have to trust me” Tony announces, walking up to him
“Kind of don’t” Bruce snaps, backing away from Tony
“Our ally, the guy protecting the military's nuclear codes, I found him” Tony showed Bruce the orange hologram of JARVIS
“Hello, Dr. Banner” JARVIS greets which lets standing at the cadle in Bruce shocked
“ULTRON didn’t go after JARVIS because he was angry. He attacked him because he was scared of what he can do” Tony explains.''So JARVIS went underground. Right? 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?” Bruce asks with a scruff
“No! Of course not. I wanna help you put JARVIS into this thing” Tony mimiks Bruce whereupon Bruce shakes his head in total disbelief
“We’re out of my field, here” Tony says with a smirk planted on his face the whole time “You know bio-organics better than anyone”
“And you just assume that JARVIS’s operational matrix can beat ULTRON’s?” Bruce questions, still not really believing what he just heard
“JARVIS has been beating him from inside without knowing it. This is the opportunity. We can create ULTRON’s perfect self without the homicidal glitches he thinks are his winning personality. We have to” Tony explains
“I believe it’s worth a go” JARVIS exclaimed
“I’m in a loop!” Bruce yells, throwing his hands in the air “I’m caught in a time loop. This is exactly where it all went wrong”
“I know. I know. I know what everyone’s gonna say. But they’re already saying it. We’re mad scientists. We’re monsters, buddy. We’ve gotta own it. Make a stand.” Tony says and puts a hand on Bruce’s shoulder
Bruce shakes his head and turns around.
“It’s not a loop” Tony assures him and let’s go of his shoulder
“It’s the end of the line” Tony mumbles and Bruce sighs
