 "I'll take Natasha, Andie, and Clint." Steve spoke up and he grabbed his shield, clipping it onto the back of his suit.

"All right. Strictly recon. I'll hit the Nexus. I'll join you as soon as I can." Tony spoke up as I walked over to the two men, changed back into my uniform.

"If Ultron is building a body, he's going to make it so he can take us down in a blink of an eye." I spoke up. "An android designed by a robot."

"You know I really miss the days when the weirdest thing science ever created was me." Steve sighed with a small smile.

"I'll drop Banner off at the tower." Fury said as he put on his jacket. "You mind if I borrow Ms Hill?" He asked Tony, making me let out a small chuckle.

"She's all yours. Apparently." Tony stated. "What are you gonna do?"

"I don't know. Something dramatic, I hope."

"Two minutes, stay close." Steve said as him and I hopped onto a building while the quinjet flew away with Clint and Natasha in it.

"Ready?" I asked. Steve nodded at me and we made our way to the building in sight, where Helen Cho's laboratory was.

 Once we arrived, the place seemed oddly quiet. When we managed to locate her lab we ran down the halls to see her on the floor with blood covering her right side. Steve pressed down on her wound, trying to stop the bleeding.

"He's uploading himself into the body." She explained.

"Where did he go?" I wondered, crouching beside her. Steve looked over to a switch but she stopped him.

"The real power is inside the Cradle. The gem, the power is uncontainable. You can't just blow it up." She shook her head as she took deep breaths. "You have to get the Cradle to Stark."

"First we have to find it." Steve mentioned.

"Go." She shook her head.

"You guys, did you copy that?" I asked into my earpiece.

"We did." Clint spoke up.

"I got a private jet taking off across town. No manifest. That could be him."Natasha explained.

"There. It's a truck from the lab. Right above you two. On the loop by the bridge." He paused for a second before speaking up again. "You got three with the Cradle, one in the cab. I could take out the drivers."

"Negative." Steve spoke up.

"Clint, if that truck crashes, the gem will take out the city, maybe even more." I said as Steve and I climbed the ladder to the bridge of the highway.

"We need to draw out Ultron." Steve added. "Ready to jump?"

"I was born ready." Steve held his hand out and I took it in mine and we ran forward before taking a leap down to the roof of the truck.

We made our way down and luckily we were holding onto the bars of the door when a beam shot out. Steve was toward the side of traffic, but in I let go, I'd be done for. 

My feet dangled out as I moved the air to swing me in. When another beam shot out, I shot a blast of fire toward the bots.

"I really don't think he's in the best of moods." I spoke out as I swung it, dodging another blast which almost sent Steve into the car behind us. 

He jumped onto the metal plate that was dangling down to the road which made a god awful screeching noise "I gotta try and keep him that way." I muttered.
