The music thrummed through the walls of the Avengers Tower. Laughter echoed from the main room, where the Avengers, their friends and coworkers mingled, enjoying a moment of peace and festivity. Tony Stark, in his element, was showing off his new suit features to a group of fascinated onlookers, while Thor boasted about his latest exploits in Asgard,clearly drunk surrounded by some old men.

Natasha , casually leaning against the bar, scanned the room whilst talking to Bruce                                     .Steve was engaged in an animated conversation with Sam Wilson. It was a perfect evening filled with triumphant laughter since they found the spear.
I wasn't technically invited but I decided that since I can not leave the tower I can at least join in and have some fun. Especially since my mind goes to dark places when I'm alone and I can't sleep with that much noise.

I've mingled for some time when Steve approached me. "Hey kid, are you sure this is the right place for you?"
"I don't have anywhere else to go" I sighed.
Steve looked at me sternly "Alright, don't do anything I wouldn't do.. and don't drink "

It was very late when almost all of the guest have left. Tony, Natasha,Steve,Bruce,Clint , Thor and Agent Maria Hill were sitting on the sofas talking about something. Some Doctor, I think her name was Cho is sleeping.
I join them. "Hey kiddo" Natasha smiles at me. I return the favor.
"But it's a trick" Clint protestet, continuing in their conversation before.
Thor laughed " No,no it's much more than that"
Clint rose his arms dramatically "ah, whoever be he worthy shall haveth the power"
I chuckle
" whatever man, it a trick!" Tony said
"Please,be my guest" Thor grinned whilst pointing at mijolnir
We all looked at each other.
"Really " Clint asked
"Yeah" stark chuckled
Clint stood up and walked toward the table with mjolnir on it.
"Clint you had a long week, we won't hold it against you if you can't get it up" stark joked.
I laughed. He truly is arrogant but in a funny way.
After Clint failed to lift the hammer Tony tried. After Tony failed Rhodes joined him. After they failed Steve tried to lift it, and I could've sworn the hammer budged a little, but he couldn't lift it either. Natasha declined Thors offer "That's not a question I need answered."
"What about you Y/N" Thor asked me with a grin on his face.
I just shook my head
"Isn't it past your bedtime?" Tony asked jokingly
I looked at him sternly " I don't have a bedtime, but I am tired" I said standing up.
They continued their banter.
"... not worthy" I hear Thor saying as I reached the door
Suddenly all goes quiet.
A figure stepped into the light, revealing a nearly completely destroyed Iron Legion bot
It talked about who's worthy and who isn't and other stuff I didn't fully understand .

The tension in the room was palpable as the Avenger bot, now identifiable as Ultron, continued its monologue about worthiness and humanity's flaws. The Avengers, though tired from the festivities, snapped into battle readiness.

Ultron's eyes glowed menacingly. "Peace in our time"

Thor gripped Mjolnir tightly.

Before anyone could react, Ultron's minions, the remaining Iron Legion bots under his control, burst into the room, attacking the Avengers. Chaos ensued. The team sprang into action.
I was frozen in shock by the doorway

Thor's hammer struck the bots with lightning precision, while Tony's repulsors blasted through their armored shells. Natasha and Clint moved with lethal grace, taking down enemies with a combination of acrobatics.
Amidst the battle, I found myself ducking and weaving, trying to avoid the crossfire. I wasn't an Avenger, at least I didn't feel like I was. But I tried to help, keeping the bots  in place with my powers so the others could attack them.

After all but one bot has been destroyed Ultron went on talking about peace

"There is only one way to achieve world peace...The avengers extinction"

The next thing I saw was Thor's Hammer flying toward Ultron and his "body" shattering.

"Everyone alright?" Steve called out, his voice steady despite the chaos.

"Define 'alright'," Natasha replied, wiping a trickle of blood from her forehead.

Tony's face was grim as he scanned the wreckage. "Jarvis, any survivors among the bots?"

Jarvis didn't answered.

The gravity of the situation sank in. Ultron was loose, and he was more dangerous than any of them had anticipated.

"We need to figure out where he went," Bruce said.
"And what he's planning next," Natasha added.
"I will take care of that" Thor said, taking off to follow Ultron.
Clint sighed. "This party just got a whole lot less fun."
Steve nodded, his expression resolute. "Alright, Avengers. We regroup, we plan, find out what he meant"

The team dispersed to gather the iron legion and prepare for what lay ahead. I found myself standing in the midst of the wreckage, feeling a mix of fear and excitement. I wasn't sure how I could help, but i knew i had to try.

As the Avengers reconvened in the war room, the air was thick with determination. I quietly followed them.

Steve stood at the head of the table, opening his mouth to talk he noticed me and said "Hey, I don't think you're supposed to be a part of this"
I looked at him with disbelief " you do know that I just fought with you, right?" I continued ,speaking fastly
"I thought I was supposed to be part of the team, or does that only apply when I'm proded and poked? When you want to find out why I'm weird?"
They all looked at me in shock.
"So anyway" Tony went on, explaining why ultron was created.
The night was spent arguing about right or wrong in this situation.
We came to the conclusion that we have to track him and stop him.
