Nobodies POV

In the lab.

"All our work is gone. Ultron cleared out, used the internet as an escape hatch." Banner says

"Ultron." Steve says

"He's been in everything. Files, surveillance. Probably knows more about us than we know about each other." Vanya says, cringing as Natasha stitches up the back of her head.

Steve stares at her in sympathy. "Fuck." Vanya cringes, no one says anything. When Nat saw Vanya's still form she had actually cried.

"He's in your files, he's in the internet. What if he decides to access something a little more exciting?" Rhodey ask

"Nuclear codes." Hill says "Nuclear codes. Look, we need to make some calls, assuming we still can." Rhodey says

"He wanted us dead." Natasha says "He didn't say dead. He said extinct." Steve says

"He also said he killed somebody." Clint says "But there wasn't anyone else in the building." Vanya says, her mind trailing off to the twins, based on the blasted door, they escaped.

She couldn't help but feel relieved, that meant they were alive.

"Yes there was." Tony says.

Stark bring up the now destroyed 3D image of JARVIS' consciousness.

"This is insane." Banner says "JARVIS was the first line of defense. He would've shut Ultron down, it makes sense." Steve says

"No, Ultron could've assimilated Jarvis. This isn't strategy, this is...rage." Vanya says, she knows all about rage.

Suddenly, Thor grabs hold of Stark by his throat and holds him up.

"Woah, woah, woah! It's going around." Clint says. To Thor. "Come on. Use your words, buddy." Tony says

"I have more than enough words to describe you, Stark." Thor says "Thor! The Legionnaire." Steve says.

Thor lets go of Stark. "Trail went cold about a hundred miles out but it's headed north, and it has the scepter. Now we have to retrieve it, again." Thor says

"The genie's out of that bottle. Clear and present is Ultron." Natasha says, finishing off on Vanya's stitches.

"I don't understand. You built this program. Why is it trying to kill us?" Helen ask

Stark starts laughing, Banner subtly shakes his head at him to get him to stop. "You think this is funny?" Thor ask

"No. It's probably not, right? Is this very terrible? Is it so...is it so...it is. It's so terrible." Tony says

"This could've been avoided if you hadn't played with something you don't understand." Thor says

"No, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. It is funny. It's a hoot that you don't get why we need this." Tony says

"Tony, maybe this might not be the time to..." Banner says "Really?! That's it? You just roll over, show your belly, every time somebody snarls." Tony says

"Only when I've created a murder bot." Banner says "We didn't. We weren't even close. Were we close to an interface?" Tony ask

"Well, you did something right. And you did it right here. The Avengers were supposed to be different than SHIELD." Steve says

"Anybody remember when I carried a nuke through a wormhole?" Tony ask "No, it's never come up." Rhodey says

"Saved New York?" Tony ask "Never heard that." Vanya says, fixing her hair over her stitches, hiding them.

"Recall that? A hostile alien army came charging through a hole in space. We're standing three hundred feet below it. We're the Avengers. We can bust arms dealers all the live long day, but, that up there? That's...that's the end game. How were you guys planning on beating that?" Tony ask

"Together." Steve says

"We'll lose." Tony says

"Then we'll do that together, too." Steve says

Stark looks at him for a moment before turning away.

"Thor's right. Ultron's calling us out. And I'd like to find him before he's ready for us. The world's a big place. Let's start making it smaller." Steve says
