A high pitched ringing was sung through the room. Astra and most others cringed at it while plugging their ears. "Worthy." A terrifying voice dragged the word. The heads of the group of friends turned to the source of their new guest. A broken drone from the Iron Legion lugged in, a trail of oil behind him. "No. How could you be worthy." The bot took three heavy steps and turned towards the group. "You're all killers."

"Stark." The Captain made a silent command, his face like stone.

"Jarvis." Tony tried calling his AI.

"I'm sorry. I was asleep." The bot made strange, broken movements to look up. "Or, I was a-dream."

"Reboot Leigonaire OS." Tony frantically tapped his screen. "We have a buggy suit."

"There was this terrible noise." The disfigured suit stumbled, Athena took careful steps forward. "And I was tangles in... in... strings. I had to kill the other guy. He was a good guy."

"You killed someone?" Cap raised his brow.

"Wouldn't have been my first call." The creepy, robotic voice sounded so real, like the bot was thinking and observing. Making the situation quite alarming. "But, down in the real world, we're faced with ugly choices."

"Who sent you?" Thor demanded for a straight answer.

The bot replayed a recording of the older Stark. "I see a suit of armor around to world." The group looked over to Tony who seems very tense and uneasy.

"Ultron." Bruce realized.

"In the flesh." The bot respond. "Or, no, not yet. Not this chrysalis." Thor clenched his hammer, Hill takes the safety off her gun, the entire team readying for the start of something ugly. "But I'm ready. I'm on a mission."

"What mission?" Natasha questioned with ease, or however at ease one could be.

"Peace in our time." The bot answered, the wall behind him burst as two companions flew towards the group.

Astra jumped flat on the ground to avoid being swept off. Her hair turned white and her marking crawled to appear on her face. She got off the ground and without wasting another second she creates two large swords. She spun them once while looking for an upcoming bot.

She ran up the stairs to get a better view of the place before throwing a sword at one. It goes through it's chest area before the sword itself disappeared. Sparks fling randomly form the area as the bot shut down.

Another bot flew in her direction at top speed. Astra moved to the side at last second, taking the other sword and slicing through it's head. The head rolled a bit and sparks flew from its neck. Astra blew a loose strand of hair out of her face before standing up right.

Gun shots were fired as Natasha and Bruce ran up the stairs. While Natasha fired bullets, the drone fired some as well. The alien girl took a deep breath before running toward it and jumping into the air. While mid-air, she constructed a sword and plunges it into the bot.

It continued to fly in a broken way. Going up, down, side ways, zigzag. Astra clinging on. In her right hand she creates a knife and tried to find the main wire to power it down. The bots constant moving made it near to impossible as she was shoved in wall. The breath knocked out of her but she followed through and found the wire, cutting it in two and causing the bot to fall along with Astra.

The female pushed the limp bot off of her and gasped for breath and attempting to cough simultaneously. She moved to her side and stood up. She began feeling lightheaded and she knew that meant that she was getting a vision. She leaned on the wall and shut her eyes tightly.

Her vision happened in flashes. There was an army. A large one at that, against ten people. Then there was a red colored energy and blue flashes. Lastly, this flash went a little slower. There were meteors crashing down from the sky. She blinked rapidly as she regained consciousness.

"Well that was dramatic." The original bot stated, re-grabbing everyones attention. "I'm sorry, I know you mean well. I 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 grabbed one of his minion's by the head. "With these? These puppets." The drone head was crushed, orange sparks cracked from the center. "There's only one path to peace. The Avengers extinction."

Astra heard enough. It seems on instinct she lifted her delicate hand, throwing five knives at once and into Ultron. His parts then scattered  on the floor. "I had strings, but now I'm free." Ultron sang in a way that sounded as if it came from a horror movie.
