Tony called some people to help clean up the mess that was now our living room while I picked up Atlantia who was still unconscious but her eyes were not blue so at least whatever that meant stopped and brought her to Tony's lab. Dr. Cho examined her and thankfully she will be alright just a little weak because of the overuse of her powers early and whatever happened with Ultron. Some men brought in Ultron's body and placed it on a table. Tony walked in and stood over the robot with a sad look on his face. Slowly everyone gathered in Tony's lab.
"All our work is gone." I heard Bruce say in shock, "Ultron cleared out used the internet as an escape hatch."
"Ultron," I mumbled angrily under my breath.
"He's been in everything," Natasha said "files,surveillance... probably knows more about us then we know about each other."
"He's in your files. He is in the internet." Rhodey says walking toward the center of the room, "What happens when he wants something a little more exciting."
"Nuclear codes." Hall says.
"Nuclear codes," agreed Rhodey. "Look we need to make some calls assuming we still can."
"Nukes? He said he wanted us dead." Natasha questioned.
"He didn't say dead. He said extinct." I clarified.
"He also said he killed someone." Clint said.
"Atlantia is alive and there was no one else in the building.""Yes there was." Tony say walking over to the center of the room and tapping his phone on some invisible screen and whats appears is a torn up orange mess that I assume used to be Jarvis. Bruce walks up to Jarvis in shock.
"This is insane." He says.
" Jarvis was the first line of offense." I state. "He would have shut down Ultron. It makes sense.
" No." Bruce responds," Ultron could have assimilated Jarvis. This isn't strategy...this is rage." Just then Thor comes walking in and grabs Tony by the neck and I hear a couple of "whoa whoas"
"Its going around." Clint says talking about the rage coming from Thor.
Tony says still in Thor's grip," Come on use your words buddy."
Thor responds with," I have more than enough words to describe you, Stark."
"Thor," I yell at him, " The legionnaire." Thor releases his grip on Stark and turns to me.
"Trail went cold about a hundred miles out but it is heading North, and it has the scepter. Now we have to retrieve it again. Thor said angrily.
"The genie's out of that bottle. Clear and present is Ultron." Natasha said directly our attention onto the most recent threat.
"I don't understand. You built this program." Dr. Cho said pointing to Tony, " Why is it trying to kill us?" Then Tony begins to laugh and I see Bruce trying to get him to stop by not so subtly shaking his head. Thor turns to him and says:
"You think this is funny?"
"No. Its probably not, right?" Tony asks,"Is this really terrible? Is it so...Is it so...it is. It's so terrible."
"This could have been avoided if you hadn't played with something you don't understand." Thor accuses.
"No. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. It is funny. It's a hoot that you don't get why we need this." Tony argues back.
"Tony,maybe this might not be the time to..." Bruce begins.
"Really," Tony interrupts,"That's its? You just roll over, show your belly every time someone snarls?"
"Only when I've created a murder bot." Bruce retaliates.
"We didn't. We weren't even close. Were we close to an interface?" Tony argues.
"Well you did something right." I tell him, "And you did it right here. The Avengers were supposed to be different from Shield."
"Anyone remember when I carried a nuke through a wormhole?" Tony says randomly.
"No its never come up." Rhodey says sarcastically.
"Saved New York," Tony continues as if he didn't here Rhodey.
"Never heard that." Rhodey responded.
"Recall that? A hostile alien army came charging through a hole in space. We're standing three hundred feet below it. We're the Avengers. We can bust arms dealers all the live long day,but up there? That's...that's the end game. How were you guys planning on beating that?" Tony says.
"Together," I state.
"We'll lose." Tony states sadly.
" Then we will do that together too." I tell him, "Thor's right. Ultron's calling us out. And I'd like to find him before he's ready for us. The world's a big place. Let's start making it smaller." When I finished my little speech I hear a weak voice say," What the hell happened."
