The After Party had begun consisting of the Avengers, Rhodey, Maria Hill and Helen Cho. They sat around sharing drinks and laughs.
"But, it's a trick!" Clint flung his drumsticks around referring to Thor's hammer.
"Oh, no. It's much more than that." Thor laughed sipping his drink.
"Uh, "Whosoever be he worthy shall haveth the power!" Whatever man! It's a trick." Clint mocked making everyone laugh.
"Well please, be my guest." Thor gestured to his hammer.
"Come on." Tony encouraged.
"Really?" Clint asked.
"Yeah!" Thor said enthusiastically making Clint jump out of his seat and over to the hammer.
"Oh this is gonna be beautiful." Rhodey said
"Clint, you've had a tough week, we won't hold it against you if you can't get it up." Tony joked making everyone laugh.
"You know I've seen this before, right?" Clint said trying to lift the hammer but failed, "I still don't know how you do it."
"Smell the silent judgment?" Tony asked from his seat.
"Please, Stark, by all means." Clint challenged Tony.
"Oh, here we go." Alyssa sipped her drink.
"Uh Oh" Natasha smirked.
"Never one to shrink from an honest challenge." Tony got up and walked towards the hammer. "It's Physics." Stark grasps Thor's hammer.
"Physics!" Bruce nodded his head.
"Right, so, if I lift it, I...I then rule Asgard?" Tony questioned Thor.
"Yes, of course."Thor nodded.
"I will be re-instituting Prima Nocta." Tony tries to pick up the hammer but fails. He collects himself. "I'll be right back." Tony said walking out and coming back with his armored hand. Tony tries to lift it again but fails giving Rhodey a look. He came over with his War Machine hands and tried to help Tony but the two still couldn't lift it.
"Are you even pulling?" Rhodey asked Tony.
"Are you on my team?" Tony retorted.
"Just represent! Pull!" Rhodey said pulling but not budging the hammer.
Bruce then tried next for the hammer but was failing. He began to impersonate as he was the Hulk. He roars trying to change to the Hulk but fails, and everyone but Natasha stares at him warily. Natasha grinned.
"Steve your turn." Bruce said awkwardly walking back to his seat.
"You got this Babe." Alyssa pecked his lips and pushed him forward gently.
"Let's go, Steve, no pressure." Tony chimed.
Steve started pulling on the hammer and manages to budge it a little; Thor looks a little alarmed. Steve still fails to lift it; Thor laughs with relief.
"Widow? Statica?" Bruce turned to the girls.
"Oh, no no. That's not a question I need answered." Natasha said.
"I think I'm better off." Alyssa nodded sipping her drink.
"All deference to the man who wouldn't be king, but it's rigged." Tony stood up.
"You bet your ass!" Clint added in.
"Steve, he said a bad language word." Maria said pointing at Clint.
"Did you tell everyone about that?" Steve said to Tony making Alyssa giggle.
"The handle's imprinted, right? Like a security code. "Whosoever is carrying Thor's fingerprints" is, I think, the literal translation?" Tony asked Thor.
"Yes, well that's, uh, that's a very, very interesting theory. I have a simpler one." he picked up his hammer, "You're all not worthy." everyone chorused in disagreement. There was a loud screech that made everyone go quiet. They looked up to see one of the Iron Legion Robots.
"Worthy... No... How could you be worthy? You're all killers." the robot spoke.
"Stark." Steve called out to Tony. He instinctively pulled Alyssa behind him.
"I'm sorry, I was asleep. Or...I was a-dream?" the robot questioned.
"JARVIS. Reboot, Legionnaire OS, we got a buggy suit." Tony said tapping his device.
"There was a terrible noise...and I was tangled in... in...strings. I had to kill the other guy. He was a good guy." the robot spoke again making everyone glare worriedly.
"You killed someone?" Steve asked crossing his arms.
"Wouldn't have been my first call. But, down in the real world we're faced with ugly choices." the robot continued.
"Who sent you?" Thor asked the robot.
"'I see a suit of armor around the world'." the robot played Tony's voice. Ultron.
"Ultron!" Bruce exclaimed in realization.
"In the flesh. Or, no, not yet. Not this...chrysalis. But I'm ready. I'm on a mission." Ultron spoke.
"Oh crap." Alyssa said making Steve look at her confused.
"What mission?" Natasha asked as everyone pulled out their weapons cautiously.
"Peace in our time."
Suddenly the Iron Legion bots break smash through the walls and attack the team. Steve and Alyssa flew backwards. Alyssa blasted the robot backwards into the wall destroying one as the rest of the team attacked them.
"Stark!" Steve yells as Tony tries to shut down one of the Iron Legions.
"Cap!" Clint throws Steve his shield to dismember the last Iron Legion.
"That was dramatic! I'm sorry, I know you mean well. You just didn't think it through. You want to protect the world, but you don't want it to change. How is humanity saved if it's not allowed to...evolve?" Ultron walked over to one of the Iron Legion robots, "With these? These puppets? There's only one path to peace: The Avengers' extinction." Thor threw his hammer at Ultron crushing the robot.
"Lab right now." Maria said walking to the lab as the team followed. Alyssa pulled Steve back and he glared at her.
"That's what you've been doing in the lab this whole time!" Steve looked at her angrily.
"We were running trials and variations, we couldn't have predicted this." Alyssa tried your grab his hand but he backed away.
"Since when do we keep secrets? You guys were working with things that you didn't understand and now that Ultron has the scepter."
"We we're trying to make a difference." Alyssa argued back.
"We are the difference. You guys created the monster." Steve shook his head before walking into the lab leaving his girl in the hallway.
