"But it's a trick."
"No no, it's much more than that."
"'Whosoever be he worthy shall haveth the power!' Whatever man, it's a trick!"
"Please, be my guest."
Thor gestures to his hammer and I chuckle to myself, taking a swig of water. These boys and having to prove themselves. When will they learn?
"Really?"
"Yeah."
Clint gets up and walks over the hammer, making eye contact with me. I roll my eyes and smile at him.
"This is gonna be beautiful."
"Clint, you've had a tough week. We won't hold it against you if you can't get it up."
Everyone chuckles and I nudge Tony, staring him down playfully.
"You know I've seen this before right?"
Clint grabs the hammer and grunts loudly. I'm guessing he tried to lift it.
"I still don't know how you do it!"
"Smell the silent judgement?"
I nudged him again. He looked back up at me and shrugged.
"Please, Stark, by all means."
Tony looks back at me and I nod. I can't wait to see this. He smirks, standing, and walking over to the hammer.
"Here we go."
"Okay."
"Uh oh."
A range of emotions as Tony walks over to the hammer, I knew damn well a man like him isn't worthy, but I wanted to see him try nonetheless.
"Never one to shrink from an honest challenge. It's physics."
He positions himself next to it, wringing his hand through the strap, staring down at Thor.
"Right, so, if I lift it, I then rule Asgard?"
"Yes, of course."
"I will be reinstituting prima nocta."
Then he attempted to lift it, it didn't seem like he put much effort into it, but who knows.
"Be right back."
He went and got an Iron Man hand to give him some extra strength. Then Rhodey, with the help of a War Machine arm attempted to lift it. I rolled my eyes, of course, he would try something like this. Bruce tried as well, putting in effort, but clearly not wanting to change into Hulk. Then, Steve tried. I fully expected him to lift it, but even with a great effort, only managed to move it a smidge. Everyone then looked at Natasha, who ever so humbly declined. I shrugged, standing and walking over to the hammer. I knew I wasn't going to be able to lift it, so why not cheat? I put my hands around the handle and shut my eyes, at first trying my telekinesis to no avail. Then, I tried my possession. I felt an almost rejection from the hammer. How strange. Then, I tried to just lift it and obviously failed.
"I mean, I know that very well. Don't need some dumb hammer to tell me that."
Everyone had a good laugh and I sat down.
"All defense to the Man Who Wouldn't Be King, but it's rigged."
"You bet your ass."
"Steve, he said a bad language word."
I chuckled as Steve sighed heavily. "Did you tell everyone about that?"
"The handle's imprinted, right? Like a security code, 'Whosoever is carrying Thor's fingerprints' is, I think, the literal translation."
"Yes, well uh, that's a very, very interesting theory. I have a simpler one," He picked up the hammer with ease and flipped it in his hand, "You're all not worthy."
Everyone spoke up at once and then there was a screeching ringing that sounded throughout the building. I dropped to my knees, gripping my ears as a hand landed itself on my back. Steve's hand no doubt. I looked up at him nodding as he helped me up. I looked over and saw a rather deformed Iron legion suit and gestured at it.
"Come on... worthy? No! How could you be worthy? You're all killers."
"Stark."
"JARVIS."
I looked over at the suit, trying to stand steady. I grabbed Steve's hand and he helped me to stay standing.
"Sorry, I was asleep. Or... I was a dream.
"Reboot... legionnaire OS, we got a buggy suit."
"JARVIS..." I whispered to myself as Tony tried desperately to connect with him. I gripped Steve's hand a little tighter as I got no response.
"There was this... terrible noise. And I was tangled in... In... strings."
"C'mon JARVIS..." Steve looked back at me as I shook my head slowly.
"I had to kill the other guy. He was a good guy."
"You killed someone?"
"Wouldn't have been my first call. But, down in the real world, we're faced with ugly choices."
"Who sent you?"
"I see a suit of armor around the world."
There was a pause and I looked over at Tony with terror in my eyes.
"Ultron..."
"In the flesh. Or no, not yet. Not this... chrysalis. But, I'm ready. I'm on a mission."
"What mission?"
"Peace in our time."
And the room exploded into chaos. I dashed to the side as everyone ducked, the now possessed Iron legion flying at us. Steve kicked up the table and was pushed back. Thor fought a couple off as Tony and Rhodey went to most likely retrieve their suits or a gun. Thor dealt with a majority as Clint and I slid away, hiding under a nearby table.
"Can't you get in its head?"
"I can try."
I sat up, looking over at the deformed suit, trying to connect to no avail. I sat back down, shaking my head at Clint. He ducked as a suit came flying down, my eyes shifted to neon yellow as I flung it away into the path of Thor, who promptly shattered it. Clint and I moved out of the way of direct fire, I continued tossing the suits around as there wasn't much else I could do. I saw Clint falling through the floor and I tried to cushion his fall as a suit threw me across the room. Clint ran off, retrieving Cap's shield. I did my best to rip a couple of the suits apart. As we destroyed the last of the rogue suits, we regrouped a bit.
"That was dramatic."
I took a deep breath and started to feel dizzy, I made eye contact with Steve and he nodded to me. I was passing out.
"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?"
I looked over at Ultron, holding a destroyed suit. I swallowed hard and started to sway, trying to stay up as long as possible, but visibly losing my fight.
"With these? These puppets. There's only one path to peace."
The suit shifted to look at me as it spoke its final words, "The Avengers' extinction."
I swallowed again and stood up a little straighter. Thor threw Mjolnir and completely shattered Ultron's makeshift form. As it came back, I made the quickest eye contact with Steve as I collapsed to the floor.
