Everyone stands up and gets ready in fighting position as the chunk of metal looks at us and shivers go down my spine. A robotic voice fills the room as he speaks, and I thank God that I wore pants and a nice t-shirt instead of a dress.
"Worthy... No... How could you be worthy? You're all killers."
Steve doesn't takes his eyes off the robot when he speaks, "Stark."
"JARVIS." Tony taps his tablet and looks back up at the bot.
"I'm sorry, I was asleep. Or...I was a-dream?" The metal man speaks.
Tony starts tapping his device, "Reboot, Legionnaire OS, we got a buggy suit."
"Tony, what's happening?" I ask, my voice going high.
"There was a terrible noise...and I was tangled in... in...strings. I had to kill the other guy. He was a good guy."
"You killed someone?" Steve asks, gripping his shield.
"Wouldn't have been my first call. But, down in the real world we're faced with ugly choices."
"Who sent you?"
A recording of Tony's voice echoes off the walls, "I see a suit of armor around the world".
I narrow my eyes at Tony as Bruce speaks, "Ultron!"
"Ultron?" I ask confusedly.
"In the flesh. Or, no, not yet. Not this...chrysalis. But I'm ready. I'm on a mission." The robot's voice is eerie and cold, like there is no longer hope in the world.
Nat speaks up, "What mission?"
"Peace in our time."
Suddenly a herd of bots smash through the walls and and attack us. I'm tackled by a robot and taken to the ground, I quickly get up and gasp for breath, grabbing a handgun off the coffee table and shooting down the bot. I had practiced with a hand gun before, with Alli, she had one, we went to the fields and shot down discs. I also learned more technique with Nat, so I had gotten quite good. I see Ultron move to grab the scepter and rush up to him, tackling him, he pushes me off him and grabs the thing, I grab onto his ankle and tug him back down. He growls robotically and punches me in the face. I teleport behind him and grab the scepter, tugging on it. He doesn't let go and instead kicks me in the gut, looking at me sceptically.
"You could come in useful." He says in an evil voice and grabs onto me, punching me in the face. Once, twice. I look around and see everyone's too busy fighting to help me. I feel another punch in my skull and I black out just as I see Steve look at me.
~STEVE POV~
I see one of Tony's bot take the scepter and Hazel and begin to fly out.
"Hazel!" I shout and rush over, throwing my shield at their direction. Her limp body hangs from the bot as he takes her out of the window and my shield hits the wall behind them. I growl and run after them, looking out of the window at two very important things fly away.
"Cap!" I tear my eyes away from the night sky and grab my shield, throwing it to dismember the last Iron Legion.
"That was dramatic! I'm sorry, I know you mean well. You just didn't think it through. You want to protect the world, but you don't want it to change. How is humanity saved if it's not allowed to...evolve?" Ultron picks up one of the dismembered Iron Legions, "With these? These puppets? There's only one path to peace: The Avengers' extinction." Thor throws his hammer at Ultron and smashes him to pieces.
Ultron's deformed body starts singing in an eerie robotic voice, "I had strings, but now I'm free. There are no strings on me, no strings on me."
After he stops talking, everyone looks at Tony.
