Avengers: New Blood (Peter Parker)/ A.M

15. Pep Talk

After some hours, while dinner was being made and everyone was in the kitchen except for Laura who was with Lila and Cooper, Tony got in along with Nick Fury.

"Hello, Avengers. Old...and new. Miss Hill, I gotta admit avenging looks good on you."
"Yeah...Thanks, Fury," Andria scoffed.
"Now, I know that we're preparing a nice dinner, but we have some important things to discuss. Ultron took you folks out of play to buy himself time. My contacts all say he's building something. The amount of vibranium he made off with...I don't think it's just one thing," Fury said, while making a sandwich.

"What about Ultron himself?" Steve asked.
"Oh, he's easy to track. He's everywhere. The guy is multiplying faster than a Catholic rabbit. It still doesn't help us get an angle on any of his plans, though," Fury answered.

"Is he still going after launch codes?" Tony asked, while playing with darts.
"Yes, he is. But, he's not making any headway."
"I cracked the Pentagon's firewall in high school on a dare," Tony said.
"Well, I contacted our friends at the Nexus about that."
"Nexus?" Steve asked.
"It's the world Internet hub in Oslo. Every byte of data flows through there. Fastest access on earth," Bruce explained.

"So, what did they say?" Clint asked.
"He's fixited on the missiles. But, the codes are constantly being changed," Fury said.
"By whom?" Tony asked, before a dart flew right in front of his face, being sent by Clint who had a playful smirk on his face.

"Parties unknown."
"Do we have an ally?" Natasha asked.
"Ultron's got an enemy. That's not the same thing. Still, I'd pay folding money to know who it is," Fury said.
"I might need to visit Oslo. Find our unknown," Tony said.

"Well, this is good times, boss, but I was kind of hoping when I saw you, you'd have more than that," Andria turned to Fury.
"I do. I have you. Back in the day, I had eyes everywhere. Ears everywhere else. You kids had all the tech you could dream up. Here we all are, back on earth, with nothing but our wit and our will to save the world. Ultron says the Avengers are the only thing between him and his mission. And whether or not he admits it, his mission is global destruction. All this, laid in a grave. So stand. Outwit the platinum bastard," Fury ended his pep talk, sitting down.

"Steve doesn't like this kind of talk," Natasha joked.
"You know what, Romanoff?" Steve looked at her, as both she and Andria smirked.

"So, what does he want?" Fury continued.
"To become better. Better than us. He keeps building bodies," Steve pointed out.
"Person bodies. The human form is inefficient. Biologically speaking, we're outmoded. But, he keeps coming back to it," Tony went on.

"When you two programmed him to protect the human race, you amazingly failed," Andria turned to Tony and Bruce.

"They don't need to be protected. They need to evolve. Ultron's going to evolve," Bruce explained.

"How?" Fury asked.

"Has anyone been in contact with Helen Cho?" Bruce gave him an answer in the form of a question.
