"I'll take Natasha and J.D." Steve speaks.

"Alright, strictly recon. I'll hit the NEXUS, I'll join you as soon as I can." Tony says.

"If Ultron is really building a body-

"He'll be more powerful than any of us. Maybe all of us. An android designed by a robot."

"You know, I really miss the days when the weirdest thing science ever created was Steve and me." I speak up.

"I'll drop Banner off at the tower. Do you mind if I borrow Ms.Hill?" Nick asks Tony.

"She's all yours, apparently. What are you gonna do?" He asks.

"I don't know. Something dramatic, I hope." Nick responds.

Natasha and I are on the Quinjet listening through Steve's comm on what's going on with the cradle.

"Did you guys copy that?" Steve voice comes through.

"We did." I tell him.

"I got a private jet taking off, across town, no manifest. That could be him." Natasha says.

I notice a truck leaving the lab.

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

"Negative! If the truck crashes, the gem could level the city. We need to draw out Ultron." Steve says then jumps onto the roof of the truck.

"Well, he's definitely unhappy! I'm gonna try and keep him that way." He adds.

"You're not a match for him, Cap." I tell him.

"Thanks, J.D." He deadpans as he and Ultron fight.

Natasha then goes to her bike getting ready for deployment.

"We got a window. Four, three...give 'em hell." I tell her over my shoulder.

"I'm always picking up after you guys." I hear Natasha say making me chuckle.

"They're heading under the overpass. I got no shot." I say.

"Which way?" Natasha asks.

"Hard right...Now." I say.

"J.D. can you draw out the guards?" I hear Nat ask.

"Let's find out." I respond hopeful.

I manage to draw them out of the truck.

"Heading back towards you. So whatever you're gonna do, do it now." I speak.

I then see the truck being lift off into the air.

"The package is airborne. I have a clean shot." I say.

"Negative. I am still in the truck." Natasha says and I'm both confused and concerned.

"What the hell are you-

"Just be ready, I'm sending the package to you." She tells me.
