"The SLEEPERs are complete" Arnim exclaimed, he was very excited, but you couldn't tell by his voice. Schmidt came over to his side of the room.

"Bring them online," Johann ordered. Until he saw the finished product, there was no use in congratulating Zola.

"I already was," Arnim explained. The SLEEPERs heads raised, but then they twitched to the side twice.
"Hi" the SLEEPERs both said simultaneously. Although, both Arnim and Johann knew that it wasn't the SLEEPERs speaking.

"Stop it! Shut it down!* Do something!" Schmidt ordered frantically.

"I cannot!" Arnim replied, fidgeting with various switches and dials.

The SLEEPERs continued, "...right now you are probably trying to shut your little toy down. Oops! 'disabled that setting. Plus, I added a few more presents. In 30 seconds, these 'SLEEPERs' will attack you, and even better the Avengers will be watching. Smile at the camera!" this explanation was Tony Stark, again speaking through the SLEEPERs.

As the Avengers watched, there was a lot of laughter. Although, Steve had a bad feeling about it. "Shouldn't we go pick them up?" He asked Tony, who had popcorn in his lap.

"Aren't you enjoying this?" he replied, pointing to his huge television, then eating more popcorn.

"Of course, but it just seems too easy" Steve answered. Tony sighed.

"It's always the old man who ruins my fun" he joked.

"I never said we shouldn't watch it and put the Quin Jet on auto-pilot." Steve smirked.

"Okay Grandpa lead the way." Tony replied. He hated to admit it, but Steve was usually right when it came to these kind of things.

"You know me and your dad were around the same age," Steve corrected.

"Fine then 'Uncle Steve'," Tony answered. Steve started walking towards the Quin Jet, even though he didn't like Tony calling him uncle.
