"I'll take Natasha, Clint and Astra." The Captain stated as he grabbed ahold of his shield.

"All right." Tony replied. "Strictly recon. I'll hit the Nexus. I'll join you as soon as I can."

"If Ultron's really building a body-" Steve started to get worried.

"He'll be more powerful than any of us. Maybe all of us," Tony estimated. "an android designed by a robot."

"You know, I really miss the days when the weirdest thing science ever created was me." Steve commented truthfully.

"I'll drop Banner off at the the tower." The man in the eyepatch told the two. "Mind if I borrow Ms. Hill?"

"She's all yours. Apparently." Stark responded. "What are you gonna do."

"I don't know." Fury admitted. "Something dramatic I hope."

"Everything we do it dramatic." The brunette butt in while coming down the stairs, her waist lengthen hair done into a braid.

"Got that right." He brother agreed, then walking out the door with Astra following. The soldier stayed behind for a moment as he watched the female walk beside her brother to the jet.

"Guys you copy that?" Cap referred to what Dr. Cho just said.

"We did." Clint answered for the small team in the jet.

"I got a private jet taking off across town." Astra suggested while looking at a screen. "No manifest. That could be him."

"There. It's a truck from the lab." Barton pointed at a truck. "Right above you, Cap. On the loop by the bridge. It's them. You got three with the Cradle, one in the cab. I could take out the driver."

"Negative." The Captain denied the request, climbing onto of a bridge. "That truck crashes it could level the city. We need to draw out Ultron."

Captain America jumped off the bridge and on top of the truck. "No, no, no, no." Ultron's temper rose at the thud. "Leave me alone!" He shot at the door, the Cap swinging along with it. Then got shot into the sky and landed on the ramp created by the fallen door.

"Well, he's defiantly unhappy." The Captain stated.

"Cap, he's a robot. He's in incapable of feeling any emotions." Astra corrected.

"Either way, I'm gonna try and keep him that way."

Astra rolled her eyes, Barton was the one who said what she was thinking. "You're not a match for him, Cap."

"Thanks, Barton." Cap mumbled sarcastically getting himself to stand.

"Now's my chance to bring her out." Astra announced to her small group, standing up from her seat.

"What name did you give this bike?" Natasha wondered.

"Mensa." Astra answered while climbing on her bike. "A constellation from the Large Magelletic cloud galaxy."

"Of course she would know that." Barton muttered to himself. "Got a window." He gave the female a heads up. "Four, three... Give him hell."

Barton pressed a button releasing Astra from the jet. Her bike landed on the road gracefully and she zoomed past all the cars

"I'm always picking up after you boys." She commented, spotting Cap's discarded shield on the road. She leaned the bike to the side, giving her access to quickly pick up the shield.

"They're heading under the overpass. I've got no shot." Barton informed Astra.

"Which way?" She questioned over the loud noise around her.

"Hard right... Now." He told her. Astra slid into the right, some cars having to skid to a stop. People even stopped what they were doing in that moment to see the unusual sight of a female alien speeding down the road.

She crossed paths with the truck, gracefully sliding underneath it and throwing Cap's shield up to him. Ultron noticed her presence, ripping a hole in the ground into the air, delaying her from the fight. Astra still headed right towards them, bots shooting at her, taking a detour up the stairs.

"Out of my way! Coming though." She yelled at people that were using the stairs. "Sorry. Coming through. Natasha can you draw out the guards?"

"Lets find out." She mumbled, switching a few things.

"Beep beep." She warned the pass-byers while zooming past the outdoor market. While Clint flew the plane Natasha shot Ulton a few good times. Causing the bots to follow the jet.

"They're heading back towards you." Barton warned. "Whatever you're gonna do, do it now."

"I'm going in." Astra confirmed. "Is your back starting to hurt, Cap? Or can you keep him occupied?"

"What do you think I've been doing?" He grumbled.

"Bye, baby." Astra kissed her motorcycle goodbye before she jumped in the truck. Her bike crashing in the truck to the side.

"What?" Cap asked.

"She was talking to her bike, Cap. Not you." Natasha smirked, sharing a side glance with Clint..

Astra walked over to the capsule observing it for a moment. Then walked over to override it. Before having the chance to truly do so the truck took off into the air, knocking her off balance.

"Package is airborne. I have a clean shot." Barton notified.

"Negative." Astra responded quickly, not wanting to get blown to bits. "I'm still in the truck."

"What the hell are you-"

"Just be ready." She told him, cutting through the securers. "Amazon delivering just got a lot faster."

"How do you want me to take it?" He prepared.

"You might wish you hadn't asked that." She responded.

"I lost him!" Cap called. "He's headed your way."

"Astra, we gotta go." Barton got anxious.

Astra cut off the last strap and placed a bomb in the truck. Then she grabbed a hold of the capsule and hung on through the air and into the jet. Natasha stood on the edge of it, awaiting for Astra's pop in. So the moment the capsule and the alien where inside, Natasha got pulled down.

"Nat!" Clint called. "Cap, you see Nat?" Hoping she was safe.

"If you have the package, get it to Stark. Go!" The Captain orders.

"Do you have eyes on Nat." Astra repeated, taking her seat beside Clint.

"Go!" Clint hesitantly obeyed, turning the jet around to get the capsule to Stark.
