"Ultron took you folks out of play to buy himself time. My contact all say he's building something. The amount of vibranium he made of with, I don't think its just one thing" Nick explained.

While the avengers listened to Fury Lila walked up to Natasha and Athena to show them a picture she drew. The two women complimented the drawing while the rest of the avengers continued to question Fury about Ultron.

"Do we have an ally?" Steve asked.

"Ultron's got an enemy. That's not the same thing. Still, I'd pay folding money to know who it is" Nick sighed out.

Tony walked away from the dartboard he was once stood at and turned to Nick "I might need to visit Oslo. Find our unknown" 

Natasha spoke "Well, this is good times boss, but I was kind of hoping when I saw you you'd have more than that" 

Athena nodded in agreement.

"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"

Athena smiled then looked over at Steve "Steve doesn't like that kind of talk"

"You know what Athena?" Steve said in a teasing tone.

She gave him a smile. 

"So, what does he want?" Nick asked.

"To become better. Better than us. He keeps building bodies" Steve responded.

Tony interrupted "Person bodies. The human form is inefficient. Biologically speaking we're outmoded. But he keeps coming back to it" 

"When you two programmed him to protect the human race you amazingly failed," Natasha told Tony and Bruce

"They don't need to be protected. They need to evolve. Ultron is going to evolve" Bruce told everyone,

Fury looked over at Bruce "How?" 

"Has anyone been in contact with Helen Cho?"

"I'll take Natasha and Clint," Steve told Tony and Athena

"All right. Strictly recon. Athena and I will hit the Nexus. We'll join you as soon as I can" Tony responded.

We started to walk out of the house "If Ultron's really building a body-" 

Tony cut Steve off "He'll be more powerful than any of us, maybe all of us"

Steve looked towards the two Starks "An android designed by a robot. You know I really miss the days when the weirdest thing science ever created was me"

Nick walked into the hallway "I'll drop Banner off at the tower. You mind if I borrow Ms. Hill?" 

"She's all yours. Apparently" Tony responded.

Athena looked at Nick "What are you going to do" 

"Something dramatic I hope"
