(Natasha's POV)

"All our work is gone. Ultron cleared out. He used the internet as an escape hatch." Bruce said.

"Ultron." Steve said.

"He's been in everything. Files, surveillance. Probably knows more about us then we know about each other." I said.

"He's in our files, he's in the internet. What if he decides to access something a little more exciting?" Rhode asked.

Nuclear codes.

"Nuclear codes." Maria offered.

"Nuclear codes." He confirmed.

"Look, we need to make some calls, assuming we still can." He told us.

"Nukes? He said he wanted us dead." I said.

"He didn't say "dead." He said extinct." Steve piped up.

"He also said he killed somebody." Clint reminded us.

"There wasn't anyone else in the building." Maria said.

"Yes, there was." Tony walked up flipping a device and a orangish mess appeared.

It was Jarvis.

"What? This is insane." Bruce asked as he looked at what was left of Jarvis.

"Jarvis was the first line of defense. He would have shut Ultron down. It make sense." Steve explained looking down.

"No Ultron could have assimilated Jarvis. This isn't strategy. This is rage." Bruce said as Thor walked in towards Tony picking him up by the neck.

"It's going around." Clint said.

"Come on, use your words buddy." Tony choked out.

I would just as gladly have done the same thing.

"I have more then enough words to describe you, Stark." Thor said angrily.

"Thor! Chloe and the legionnaire?" Steve asked.

Thor dropped Tony on the ground hard and turned to face us.

"The trail went cold about a hundred miles out, but it's headed north. And it has the scepter and Chloe. Now we have to retrieve it, again." He told us.

"Genie's out of that bottle. Clear and present is finding Chloe and Ultron." I said.

"I don't understand. You built this program. Why is it trying to kill us?" Helen asked.

Tony started laughing and we all glared at him while Bruce shook his head.

"You think this is funny?" Thor asked.

"No. It's probably not, right? This is very terrible. Is it so... is it so... it is. It's so terrible." Tony said chuckling.

"This could have been avoided if you hadn't played with something you don't understand." Thor said walking towards Tony.

"No. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. It is funny. It's a hoot that you don't get why we need this." Tony said walking closer to Thor.

"Tony, maybe this might not be the time." Bruce warned.

"Really? That's it? You just roll over and show your belly every time somebody snarls?" Tony snapped.

"Only when I've created a murder bot." Bruce retorted.

"We didn't. We weren't even close. Were we close to an interface?" Tony asked his patience wearing thin and Bruce made a face shrugging.

"Well you did something right. And you did it right here." Steve started as he started walking towards Tony. "The Avengers were supposed to be different then S.H.I.E.L.D."
