Diana Rogers was sadly very used to the unexpected. It was as if the simple word of, "Normal" wasn't welcomed into her life. As if the Gods had specifically demanded any chance of being able to experience the mundane was forbidden. Hell, even when she had a quieter life with Tony it still wasn't like other children's. After all, normal ten year-olds don't have paparazzi chasing after them.
So when she saw the old director of her family's ex-company, she didn't question it. She didn't even greet the one-eyed man as she sat down to eat her delicious plate of Mac and Cheese.
"Ultron took you folks out of play to buy himself time," Nick Fury told the remaining members of the Avengers.
After an awkward meal with Clint's family trying to keep the calm vibes alive with small talk, they left to allow the rest to discuss the problem at hand. All that remained gathered around the kitchen as Laura and the kids went into another room. Lila pinning up Diana's long locks with an assortment of butterfly clips before being pulled away.
"My contacts all say he's building something. The amount of Vibranium he made off with, I don't think it's just one thing," Fury explained.
Steve sighed, "What about Ultron himself?"
"Ah. He's easy to track, he's everywhere. Guy's multiplying faster than a Catholic rabbit," their director poured himself a cup of coffee. "Still doesn't help us get an angle on any of his plans though."
Tony Stark hummed as he continued to partly listen, throwing darts at the small board by the fridge, "He still going after launch codes?" He asked as he missed the bull's-eye each time.
"Yes, he is, but he's not making any headway."
Tony scoffed as he retrieved his darts, "I cracked the Pentagon's firewall in high school on a dare."
"Yeah, well, I contacted our friends at the NEXUS about that," Fury explained.
"NEXUS?" Steve raised a brow.
"It's the world internet hub in Oslo, every byte of data flows through there, fastest access on earth," Bruce explained.
"So what'd they say?" Clint began to inspect one of the many dishes he loaded into the washer.
Fury shrugged at the father, "He's fixated on the missiles, but the codes are constantly being changed."
"By whom?" The billionaire let out a small faint gasp when a knife came flying past his nose, courtesy of Clint, hitting the target.
He shrugged, "Parties unknown."
"Do we have an ally?" Nastaha asked.
"Ultron's got an enemy, that's not the same thing," Fury replied.
