A.N. I've been so lazy lately. I'l my best to keep with with updates.
BTW, Daredevil Season Two is AMAZING
----------------
We all gathered together in the lab to talk about what had jut happened. Helen stitched me up as we talked. Rhodey was okay, just a dislocated shoulder which Tony put right.
Tony looked over the destroyed suit that Ultron used to talk to us. Him an Bruce created him but I don't think they made him the way he became.
"All our work is gone." Bruce began to speak. "Ultron cleared out. He used the Internet as an escape hatch."
"Ultron." Steve said the name like it the most ridiculous thing he ever heard of.
"He's been in everything. Files, surveillance. Probably knows more about us than we know about each other." Nat told us. Helen finished with my wound and I said thank you to her.
"He's In your files, he's in the Internet." Rhodey stepped foreward as he held his arm. "What if he decides to access something a little more exciting?"
"Nuclear codes." Maria said as she tried to get glass out of her foot.
"Look we need to make some calls, assuming we still can." Rhodey went on.
"Nukes? He said he wanted us dead." Nat recited what Ultron said. I can see why but, we've saved so many lives. We can't stop now.
"He didn't say dead. He said extinct." Steve pointed out. It's the same thing.
"He also said he killed somebody." Clint said from the stairs.
"Somebody as in JARVIS." I said as all eyes turned to me. "There's no one else it could be." I shared eye contact with Tony and he knew it too.
"She's right." Tony stepped foreword and wiped JARVIS's whole working body on so we could see what had happened to him. It looked like a bomb had gone off inside of him.
"Jarvis would have been the first thing Ultron encountered when he came online. He probably tried to stop him." I was getting sad now. JARVIS was a friend to both me and Tony. As a computer voice and as an actual person. Now he's completely gone.
"No. Ultron could have assimilated JARVIS. This isn't strategy. This is, rage." Bruce explained to us. I then noticed Thor storming him. I saw him heading fr Tony so quickly go up. I wasn't fast enough as Thor had Tony by his throat.
"Use your words, buddy." Tony shakily said.
"I have more than enough words to describe you, Stark." Thor said, with his hands still round Tony's neck.
"Thor, put him down, NOW!" I ordered and he obeyed. I went over to Tony to check him but he waved me off telling me he was fine.
"Trail went cold about 100 miles out, but it's headed north. And it has the sceptre." Can I ever get a break? "Now we have to retrieve it, again."
"Genie's out of the bottle. Clear and present is Ultron." Natasha said.
"I don't understand." Helen spoke up from behind us. "You built this program. Why is it trying to kill us?" I had the same question. Why would Tony make something this evil? Tony that had the audacity to chuckle.
"You think this is funny?" Thor asked. I crossed my arms and gave a look towards Tony.
"No. It's probably not, right? This is very terrible. Is it so....It is. It's so terrible." Tony tried to laugh it off but I wasn't impressed.
"This could have been avoided if you hadn't played with something you don't understand." Thor bit at Tony. He was kinda right. But Tony is known for messing with lot of things he does't understand.
"No. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. It is funny. It's a hoot that you don't get why we need this." Tony tried to step up to Thor but Thor is a god. He had no chance against him.
"Tony, maybe this might not be the time." Bruce tried to talk to his buddy.
"Really? That's it?" Tony turned to Bruce almost offended he told him to calm down. "You just roll over, show your belly every time somebody snarls?"
"Only when I've created a murder bot."
"We didn't. We weren't even close. Were we close to an interface?" Tony raised his voice.
"Well you did something right. And you did it right here." Steve decide to butt in. Great, another argument between them to add to the list. "The Avengers were supposed to be different than SHIELD."
"Anybody remember when I carried a nuke through a wormhole?" He's playing us like that s he?
"No, it's never come up." Rhodey sarcastically said.
"Saved New York? Huh? A hostile alien army came charging through a hole in space. We're standing 300 feet below it. We're the Avengers. We can bust arms dealers all the livelong day, but that up there, that's...That's the endgame. How were you guys planning on beating that?" Tony ranted. God damn he's right.
"Together." I spoke up.
"We'll lose, Ash." Tony tried to reason with me.
"If we lose, we'll lose together. As a team. Cause that's what we are." I ranted. We're team, we win as a team we lose as a team. It's how it is. "Ultron is calling us out. Thor was right. And I'd like to find him before he's ready for us. The world is a big place. Let's start making it smaller."
The next morning I met with Tom to go over what he had learned about the where about's of Ultron. Glass was still everywhere as we hadn't had time to clear up.
"He's all over the globe. Robotics limbs, weapons facilities, jet propulsion labs. Reports of a metal man, or men, coming in and emptying the place." Tom explained as we go out of the elevator and walked up some steps.
"Fatalities?" I asked.
"Only when engaged. Mostly guys left in a fugue state going on about old memories, worst fears, and something 'too fast to see'." The twins, it's gotta be them.
"So he has the twins with him? Wonderful." The twins can do a lot of good things with their powers, but I guess Ultron got to them. Maybe now is the time to bring that agreement back into play. "Makes sense I guess. They do have someone in common."
"Not any more." Tom held out the pad for me letting me get a look of a picture. It was Strucker, the guy who crated the twins, he was dead with the word peace written in blood behind him.
"God damn." I said to myself before gathering everyone to share this information with.
"What's this?" Tony asked as Thor was looking over the picture.
"A message. Ultron killed Strucker." As I finished Thor smacked the pad into Tony's chest. He was pissed as was I.
"And he did a Banksy a the crime scene, just for us." Tony said as he looked over the picture.
"This is a smoke screen. Why send a message when you've just given a speech?" Natasha asked, annoyed too.
"Strucker knew something that Ultron wanted us to miss." I said.
"Yeah, I bet he....yeah." The computer beeped making me walk around a look at what he said. "Everything we had on Strucker's been erased."
"Not everything." I spoke up. We had files upon files here from SHIELD so all we had to do was look over them and find something.
"Look for known associates. He had a lot of friends." I advised the team.
"Well these people are all horrible." Bruce said as he looked over files.
"Welcome to my world." I smirked before looking over files myself.
"Wait, I know that guy." Tony got Bruce before he put the file back. "From back in the day. He operates off the African coast. Black market arms." Steve gave the Tony the 'are you kidding me' look, making me smile a little. "There are conventions. All right? You meet people. I didn't sell him anything." Tony explained handing the guys picture to Thor. "He was talking about finding something new, a game changer. It was all very Ahab."
"This?" Thor asked pointing to something on the guys neck.
"Ah, it's a tattoo. I don't think he had it." Tony told Thor, but Thor wasn't talking about the tattoo.
"Those are tattoos, this is a brand." Thor was right, so we searched the computer for what the brand meant.
"Oh yeah. It's a word in African dialect meaning 'thief'. In a much less friendly way." Bruce read from the computer.
"What dialect?" I asked.
"Wakanada." Bruce tried to say the word right but struggled.
"Wakanda." I said for him. I knew the place.
"If his guys got out of Wakanda with some of their trade goods...."
"I thought your father said he got the last of it." Steve interrupted Tony.
"I don't follow." Bruce stood from the computer. "What comes out of Wakanda?" I nodded down to Steve's shield as it's material came from Wankanda.
"The strongest metal on earth." Tony took the words out of my mouth.
"Where is he now?" I asked wanting to whale on this guy straight away.
"Probably where he always is. The African coast." Tony told me.
"Never been to Africa. There's always a first time." I smiled knowing I was going to have fun talking to this guy.
It didn't take us long to suit up, but it would take us a while to get there. If the twins turn up, I'm ready for them. Maybe I can talk them into being with us instead if against us.
---------------
A.N. I'm sorry if it's bad but you gotta admit this movie wasn't as good as I thought I would be. But I can still get some good things out of it.
Next chapter will have Steve's dream sequence, I wonder who will be in that? (HINT: THE COUPLE'S THAT NEVER WERE)
As always votes are appreciated. I'm trying my best to make something good out of a not very good movie.(Don't have a go at me for having an opinion on this movie that isn't the same as yours. This movie has a lot wrong with it.)
