"Look, we need to make some calls, assuming we still can" Rhodes says, his hand grasping his right shoulder.

"Nukes? He said he wanted us dead" Natasha started before Steve cut her off. "He didn't say dead. He said extinct"

Clint walks down the stairs, his hand on the banister looking amongst us all. "He also said he killed somebody"

"There was t anyone else in the building?" Maria exclaimed, flipping the pen between her fingers.

"Yes there was" Tony retorted before switching something on, a big orange circle pops up in the middle of the room with pieces unconnected from each other as Bruce walks over lifting his arms up.

"This is insane" Bruce stated, mouth gaped open.

"Jarvis" I mumbled, looking at the orange beam.

"Jarvis was the first line of defence. He would have shut Ultron down. It makes sense." Steve said, folding his arms across his chest after setting the shattered pieces in the trash can before standing beside me again.

"No. Ultron could have assimilated Jarvis. This isn't strategy. This is...rage."

In seconds Thor is stomping towards Tony, grasping him around the neck hosteling him up in the air as Steve started stepping forward in shock. I jump off the table, moving forwards myself, my hand touching Thor's arm briefly.

"Rapunzel put the old man down" I called out, stepping forwards like Steve beside me. I narrowed my eyes on the 1000 year old god.

"Very encouraging, thanks sweetie" Tony sarcastically smiled. I bowed my head with a wink.

"It's going around" Clint muttered.

"Come on, use your words, buddy" Tony mumbled, his hand gripping Thor's wrist.

"I have more than enough words to describe you, Stark" Thor glared.

"That's an understatement" I grinned before backing away.

"Thor. The legionnaire" Steve called out, in a split second Thor is dropping Tony like a rag doll as he groans moving away from him. I walk over towards Tony, rubbing his back, as he leans in against me.

"Trail went cold about 100 miles out, but it's headed north. And he has the sceptor."

"What's the sceptor?"

"Your boyfriend hasn't told you?" Tony questioned from beside me.

"What boyfriend?" I furrowed my brows. Everyone just looks at me as I grow frustrated from not knowing who this boyfriend is. "What boyfriend?!" I huffed.

They all just give me knowing looks as I stomp off towards the table again, giving everyone evil eyes as they stared at me. My legs swing back and forth, my hands on my face, elbow on the knee. I pout my lips, furrowing my brows trying to figure out this supposed invisible boyfriend I apparently have.

Seventeen does not do boyfriends. Yuck.

Even though I have two men in my head- heart.

"Now we have to retrieve it, again" Thor continued on like nothing happened making me even more mad.

I guess I'm like a ghost huh.

"Genies out of that bottle" Nat started, my eyes shifting towards her. "Clear and present is Ultron"

"I don't understand. You built this program. Why is it trying to kill us?" Helen Cho, the girl I forgot was with us the whole time says. All of a sudden Tony starts to laugh, Bruce beside him shaking his head in disbelief.

"You think this is funny?" Thor narrowed on Tony.

"No..? Tony sarcastically grinned. "It's probably not, right? This is very terrible. Is it so..." He was cut off from letting out a laugh once again as we all stare at him deadpanned. "Is it so...it is. It's so terrible"

"This could have been avoided if you hadn't played with something you don't understand" Thor proclaimed pointedly.

"No. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. It is funny. It's a hoot that you don't get why we need this" Tony chuckled shaking his head as Bruce started calling his name in a muttered whisper. "Tony, maybe this might not be the time"

"Really?" Tony asked appalled, turning around away from Thor to raise a brow at Bruce. "That's it? You just roll over, show your belly every time somebody snarls?"

Bruce only shrugged, "Only when I've created a murder bot"

"We didn't..." Tony explained, his arms going out. "We weren't even close. We're we close to an interface?"

"We'll, you did something right. And you did it right here" Steve declared, unfolding his arms across his chest. Walking towards the middle. "The avengers were supposed to be different than S.H.I.E.L.D." Steve pointedly said, looking around at us.

I wince internally at this statement, he was right and he knows he is. The avengers weren't supposed to hide high-tech murder robots, we're supposed to save people from that kind of stuff not make it.

"Anybody remember when I carried a nuke through a wormhole?" Tony asked, causing everyone in the room to sigh as I furrow my brows in confusion on what he means.

"No, it's never came up" Rhodes said, shaking his head.

"Saved New York?" Tony continued causing a few people to roll their eyes.

"Never heard that" Rhodes stated again, rolling his arms across his chest.

"Recall that? A hostile alien army came charging through a hole in space. We're standing three hundred feet below it. We're the avengers. We can bust arms dealers all the livelong day but that up there, thats...That's the endgame" Tony explained incredulously.

My brain finally registers what Tony is on about, I remember the brief story Loki had told me a few weeks ago when walking alone through the park in the early morning. He said aliens, space and the avengers saved it, the sceptor did all that?

What else could it do?

"How were you guys planning on beating that?" Tony questioned with a sigh, tilting his head to the side.

"Together" Steve said firmly.

"We'll lose" Tony stated as if it wasn't obvious.

"So this Sceptor that the mangled robot took did the whole damage in New York?" I questioned as eyes turned to me, nodding their heads. "If the Redroom or heck even Hydra, could create this thing inside of me without the sceptor. What the hell can someone make with it?" I asked, tilting my head to the side in thought.

Everyone goes quiet as they thought over my question, some of us don't even meet each other's eyes. We know what could happen and we will still go into war if it means we can save humanity from the thing that Tony and Bruce- the avengers has made. We'll stick together. We'll fight together.

"Ultron's calling us out. And I'd like to find him before he's ready for us. The worlds a big place. Let's start making it smaller" Steve finished before walking out of the room.
