"Anything on Nat?" Bruce asked Tony as Clint and I set up the Cradle in the laboratory, trying to figure it out. My attention looked over, concerned of the safety of our teammate.
"I haven't heard. But she's alive, or Ultron would be rubbing our faces in it." The two walked over to us as Clint and I tried to pry it open.
I mean my nothing of a muscle gave it a good try. But to prove it was really jammed, Clint gave it his best efforts as well. "This thing is sealed tight." Clint spoke.
"We're gonna need to access the program, break it down from within." Bruce explained to us.
"Andie did you try and do any of your bending witch stuff?" He asked.
"Not gonna budge." I shook my head.
"Any chance Natasha might leave you a message outside the Internet, old school spy stuff?" Tony wondered.
"There are some nets I can cast. Yeah, I'll go find her." Clint nodded, making his way down the stairs.
"I can work on tissue degeneration if you could fry whatever operational system Cho implanted." Bruce said as he typed away.
"Yeah, about that." Tony scratched the back of his head.
"What now, Stark?" I asked.
"No." Bruce shook his head at the look Tony was giving him. "You have to trust me."
"I kind of don't."

"Our ally, the guy protecting the military's nuclear codes, I found him." Tony pressed a button and a ball of energy I remembered as JARVIS popped up.
"Hello Doctor Banner and Addison Langdon." It chirped.
"Ultron didn't go after JARVIS because he was angry. He attacked him because he was scared of what he can do. So JARVIS went underground.
Scattered, dumped his memory. But not his protocols. He didn't even know he was in there until I pieced him together."
"So you want our help putting JARVIS into a body with a stone that could possibly tear the world apart?" I asked.
"No! Of course not." Tony shook his head. "I wanna help Banner put JARVIS in this thing. Sorry, Andie, but you are better when it comes to physical stuff. Coding isn't your thing."
"True." I nodded fairly. "But when the others come and think this is a shitty idea, I'll side with them." I said turning on the balls on my feet.
"Fine, but Banner, this is the opportunity." Tony smirked. "We can create Ultron's perfect self without the homicidal glitches he thing are his winning personality. We have to." I sat down in the chair as I leafed through papers.
"I believe it's worth a go."
"I'm in a loop." Bruce spoke out. "I'm caught in a time loop. This is exactly where it all went wrong."
"Amen, Bruce." I added.
"I know. I know. I know what everyone's gonna say. But they're already saying it. We're mad scientists. We're monsters, buddy. We've gotta own it. Make a stand."
"That's not how it works, Tony." I shook my head.
"You are on a time out kid." He pointed over to me.
"Can I go up to my room?"
"No you plop yourself there and watch and learn from the pros." Bruce shook his head. "It's not a loop. It's the end of the line."
