"Worthy..." The voice growled lowly. Everyone stiffens and Steve rises to his feet defensively as he looks up to a humanoid robot limping into the room attached to wires. "How could you be worthy? You're all killers."

"Stark," Steve grunts, his eyes staring at the rogue ironman suit.

Clint grabs Alyanna's hand and pulls her closer to him while Thor glares confusingly at the robot.

"JARVIS," Tony mutters, his eyes narrowed.

The robot looks around confusingly. "I'm sorry, I was asleep. Or, was I dreaming?"

"Reboot, Legionnaire OS, we got a buggy suit," Tony whispers into his teach watch but received no response from JARVIS.

The robot continues, "There was a terrible noise, and I was tangled in...strings. I had to kill the other guy. He was a good guy."

Steve narrows his eyes, "You killed someone?"

"Wouldn't have been my first call. But down in the real world, we're faced with ugly choices," it continues.

Alyanna, her face scrunched in a confused expression, steps out from behind Thor. "Who sent you?" Her mind flashes to Erik but she pushed it away quickly.

It opens its mouth and a recorded voice of Tony blares out of the speakers. "I see a suit of armor around the world."

Bruce looks up with surprise. "Ultron."

Ultron does a mock bow. "In the flesh, well at least not yet. Hmm, what strange world you have here. Soulmates, an interesting concept. But I see the case is special with the Avengers." Bright glowing red eyes focused in on Alyanna and she clenched her fist as she made eye contact with Ultron. With a robotic finger, he points at her. "You are the glue that holds the team together."

The Avengers stiffen as they became more alarmed. "What's it to you?" Clint barks, while Maria slowly grabs the pistol that was placed under the coffee table.

Ultron's red eyes flicker around as if he was scanning something. But he soon turns back towards Alyanna who didn't show her fear. "Why the mission of course."

"What mission?" Natasha questions tightly.

Ultron suddenly stands up straighter, the wires that attached to him swaying from the movement. "Peace in our time."

Suddenly, the Iron Legion bots break through the wall and heads straight for the Avengers. Steve quickly loves, kicking up the table to smash into a flying robot only to be propelled backward from the force.

An iron legion bot went for Alyanna but met the hammer of Thor, smashing it into ruble bits.

They began firing off their blasters, scattering the Avengers into different directions.

Alyanna quickly moves towards Annie who cowered in fear. "Come on! We need to get you out of here!"

"This was one hell of a party," she comments before ducking out of the way. Clint and Thor cover them as they made their escape.

The Avengers continue to fight the Iron Legion. Natasha and Bruce duck behind the bar, nearly missing a blast. Bruce tries to stay calm while Natasha grabs another hidden pistol and fires round after round into the robots.
