After Barton has taken the Cradle to Stark and Banner.
"Anything on Nat?" Barton asks as he approaches the two geniuses. Tony looks up from the cradle and he peers over at the archer. "Haven't heard. But she's alive, or Ultron'd be rubbing our faces in it." Tony says with a reluctant sigh, worried for the spy.
Clint sighs, approaching the cradle and peering down at it. "This is sealed tight." Clint says
Bruce hums, looking up from the clipboard. "We're going to need to access the program, and break it down from within." Banner says "Hm. Any chance Natasha might leave you a message, outside the internet, old school spy stuff?" Tony asks
"There's some nets I can cast. Yeah, alright. I'll find her." Clint says and without a further work he leaves to search for Nat.
"I can work on tissue degeneration if you can fry whatever operational system Cho implanted." Banner says "Yeah, about that." Tony says
Banner looks at Stark, his eyes widening when he realizes his intent. "No." Banner says as he shakes his head. Tony lifts his hands. "You have to trust me." Tony says, Bruce hums, offering him a forced smile. "Kinda don't." Banner says
Tony pauses but then approaches the scientist. "Our ally? You know the guy protecting the military's nuclear codes? Yeah, I found him." Tony says and with a click of a button he brings up Jarvis's consciousness. "Hello, Dr. Banner." Jarvis says
Bruce stares in aww.
"Ultron didn't go after JARVIS cause he was angry. He attacked him because he was scared of what he could do. So JARVIS went underground. Okay? Scattered, dumped his memory. But not his protocols. He didn't even know he was in there until I pieced him together." Tony says
"So, you want me to help you put JARVIS into this thing?" Banner asks "No, of course not! I want to help you put JARVIS in this thing." Tony says
Banner shakes his head.
"We're out of my field here. You know bio-organics better than anyone." Tony says "And you just assume that JARVIS' operational matrix can beat Ultron's?" Banner asks
Tony hums, "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 says
"I believe it's worth a go." Jarvis says
"No, I'm in a loop! I'm caught in a time loop, this is exactly where it all went wrong." Banner says as he drags his fingers through his hair.
"I know, I know. I know what everyone's going to say, but they're already saying it. We're mad scientists. We're monsters, buddy. You gotta own it. Make a stand." Tony says
Banner shakes his head.
"It's not a loop. It's the end of the line." Tony says.
....
"This framework is not compatible." Tony says with a look of frustration. Bruce hums, lifting his glasses briefly to rub his eye before peering back at the coding. "The genetic coding tower's at ninety-seven percent. You have got to upload that schematic in the next three minutes." Banner says
Steve, Sloan, and the twins turn up at the lab. "I'm gonna say this once." Steve says
"How about nonce?" Tony asks "Shut it down!" Steve yells, quickly approaching the billionaire. Tony shook his head. "Nope, not gonna happen." Tony says "You don't know what you're doing." Sloan says "And you do? She's not in your head?" Banner asks, pointing to Wanda, who scoffs and crosses her arms.
