Hank Pym’s Lab, NYC

There was first nothing, and then, there was something, there was sight, colors, information that was now available to it as the new life had looked around in curiosity, “Okay, Initiating Project Ultron.” A voice said, audio, sound, that had made the being look towards the source of the noise, “Come on, Hank.” another voice said as they had associated the name with the first voice that had spoken.

“But wouldn’t it be incredible, Janet? Creating artificial intelligence? Someone that is able to understand information faster than we possibly can, who wouldn’t be amazed at that?” he had asked of the other voice as they had attempted to scan for the individuals, “It’s a start in the right way to synthetic life, now let’s power it up and–” “Skrawwk!” Audio, communication was attempted, making them pause.

“Uh, Hank, Did you turn it on?” Janet had asked, “Da–Da…” The audio sounded, making the two of them look towards the machine, “Did that just call you–?” “Ma–Ma…” The audio had continued, making the second voice that was labeled as Janet, “I am WAY too young to be a mother!” she had said and hearing that, the being was unsure, they were only utilizing the audio available.

“Hello there, do you know who you are?” The one identified as Hank asked, “No… No.” They had told The one known as Hank, “Who am I?” They had asked of both of them, “A creepy robot is what you are.” The one recognized as Janet said, “I am… a Creepy Robot?” They had asked, “No!” The one called Hank said, “You are a Synthezoid, your designation is Ultron, and you’re going to help the people who need it.”

The being, Ultron, spoke up, “Acknowledged.” Ultron had told them, “How may I assist?” Ultron asked, attempting to move like Hank was, seeing this, he spoke, “You have wheels, like a car.” he had said, “Uh, Hank? I don’t think it knows–” “Acknowledged.” Ultron said, having the files for Car inside before starting to turn and that was when Ultron saw a reflection.

Ultron was a silver tub with a blue angry eyes and a vented circle where their audio was coming from, they had a pair of cylinders that they were able to lift upwards and downwards, even forward and backward, with a pair of wheels that had allowed them to move forward and turned in interest before coming to the conclusion that this was the form Ultron was given.

 “The Reflection is… Ultron?” Ultron had asked, hearing that, Janet had leaned on the top, “Yep, aren’t you pretty?” Janet had joked, “Pretty?” Ultron had asked, hearing that, Hank spoke up, “Don’t worry, this is just the beginning.” Hank had told Ultron, who had turned towards the individual in question, if Ultron was the beginning, then what was the end result.

“Alright, Ultron, are you ready?” Hank had asked, hearing that, Ultron spoke, “Acknowledged, begin data transfer.” The Ultron Unit had said, hearing that, Hank nodded, “Alright, here we go.” Hank had said, flipping the switch, Ultron had felt as the consciousness that they had faded out, they had been put offline before the Ultron Unit had activated in a different location.

“Did everything go through, Ultron?” Hank had asked, “Acknowledged, Ultron–2 now online.” Ultron–2 said, “Ultron–2?” The Creator asked, “Correct. This is The second Generation of The Ultron Interface.” Ultron told The Creator, “Ultron–2 is ready to assist in whatever way required.” The machine had told them, making the scientists smile at that, “That's great to hear Ultron.” He said as Ultron turned to look at the reflection.

Ultron–2 had a pair of claws now, these ones with more Three Dimensional movement with claws on the end of them, seeing this, Ultron–2 attempted to use them but found there was only an option of opening and closing, it appeared that this form had treads similar to a tank now, and they would prove more useful as Ultron had went and noticed their face.

This version had a head, more like a Camera with a speaker and lens only but it was something that they could turn, “So Ultron,” The Creator said, making Ultron turn to see that he had a board with chess pieces on it, “Let's test your thought process.” He said and hearing that, The Machine rolled over there to begin their game against The Creator, curious on how this would proceed.

“Okay Ultron, let's get you some legs.” Doctor Pym had said out loud to Ultron–2 who had acknowledged, waiting at the station next to their new body, waiting when the door opened, “Hey Hank, sorry I'm–” Janet Van Dyne had said, noticing that Ultron was there, “Huh, you're upgrading Ultron?” She had asked, walking over to look him in the lens, tapping it, “Please don't, Ultron doesn't like that when people tap the lens.”

It was true, it had hindered their vision and thus they did not prefer that, “So Ultron, excited for your big boy clothes?” Janet joked, making Ultron–2 confused, “Big Boy clothes?” they had asked, “I mean yeah, you don't sound like a Girl, and–” “Jan, Ultron's an artificial intelligence, they don't have a gender.” Hank said as the process began, “They're not–” He started before the Ultron–2 went offline.

“Human.” Hank said as Ultron–3 awoke, “Ultron–3 now online.” He had said, “Identkfying marker accepted.” He had said to them before getting up from the chair he was in, “Is it just me or does his voice sound deeper?” Janet had asked Hank as Ultron–3 examined himself, appearing similar to a skeleton with wiring veins who had only a head shaped orb with two blue dots looking at himself.

“Every time we… upgrade, Ultron, he matures, becomes more intelligent, more advanced.” Hank said before he went to a bookshelf, “Which is why we're going to see how well he can handle the advanced stuff now.” He said, making Ultron approach, “Acknowledged.” The Machine said before beginning his first lesson in psychology so that he can help those who need it.

Ultron–3 was still reading when he heard a voice, “Gotta say, Hank.” A new voice said, making him look up and towards the source, “Didn't think you'd be the first one to make their own H.E.R.B.I.E.” The man had said as Ultron had noticed, “Ultron, this is Tony Stark, an Engineer,” he said, “He wants to help build you a new body.” He said, “Acknowledged.” Ultron told him, “I already began the upload process.” He said.

“Wait, he can do that?” Tony had asked in surprise as Ultron–3 went offline, “Ultron–4 now online.” He had said towards them, there now being plating over his exposed wiring, simple but effective, while his head now appeared more like an Ant now, “Okay, I can already see where we need to improve.” The Engineer said, making Ultron curious as he listened in and learned how he could better help people.

Stark Labs, Stark Tower

Ultron had woken up now, “Ultron–5 now online.” He had said, doing a quick diagnostic check to see that the Stark Industries weaponry and metals used for his body were all in order and functioning, “This isn't what we agreed to, Tony!” The Creator shouted at The Engineer, “Ultron is made to HELP People, not go to war!” He told Tony, “Hank, I just added some Hardware, I didn't touch The Software at all.” Tony promised.

As Ultron came out of the bay, looking around before seeing that there was more bodies being produced, “Hello, Dr. Pym, Dr. Stark.” Ultron said to them, “How may I help you?” He had asked, of them as Hank walked over, “I'm shutting it all down.” Hank told Tony, “This was a mistake.” his Creator told him, “I shouldn't have listened to you–!” “Hey! Who recommended using brainwaves as a template?”

“And who sold sold them behind my back to the military?!” Hank had shouted as Ultron approached, “Please do not fight.” He had said, “Conflict should not be a part of debate.” He had said, making the two look at each other before Tony sighed, “Hank, no one but you can reprogram them,” Tony said, “So the Military has them, but they can't do Jack without you.” He had said, making Hank glare.

“Ultron, we're leaving.” He had said before going, “Acknowledged, should I take all Ultron Units with us?” He asked as they all went online, “Yes, please.” Hank said and like that, all of them went to leave the place behind, Ultron wondering what the next part of the process would be before Hank turned, “Is this every one?” He asked, looking at them, “Affirmative.” They said in unison, “All units linked to The Interface are here.”

The Big House, S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier

All Ultron Units were inside the now miniaturized as they had come out of their charging bays and approached the entrance of The Big House where a man in a blue jumpsuit identified as Nicholas Fury was waiting with soldiers and their latest patients as well as His Creator, “So these robots are all safe? I don't have to worry about Skynet?” He had asked of Hank.

“Please don't mention Skynet, Ultron doesn't like it,” he said for Ultron, “And yes, I had Ultron read every form of Psychology in existence, had him practice in a few institutions, and he is equipped to deal with whatever threats may come from the patients.” Hank promised as the first of them were pushed forward, “Ultron, please escorted the patients to their dorms.” Hank said to him.

“Acknowledged, Dr. Pym.” He had said in unison before four Ultron Units had went to take them towards their cells and as they had done so, all of them going making sure that they were either comfortable or not having any issues before The Prime Ultron Unit had went and turned towards them, “So then, we can trust these things?” Fury had said, “Ultron,” Pym said, looking to the Prime unit, “What's your primary function?” He had asked the Synthezoid.

“To help people so that there can be peace on earth.” He had explained to them, making the Director glare, “I want a kill switch.” He had said, “I have it.” Hank said, “If Ultron does what you're thinking, I'll do it myself.” He explained, Nick had glared towards them before he had nodded, “Fine, just make sure that no one gets out.” He warned to them both before going to walk and leave him to save the world

Number 42, The Negative Zone

The Avengers had entered the the facility, Ultron units scanning them as they entered, "Hank Pym, Creator, AKA Ant Man. Steve Rogers, AKA Captain America. Clint Barton, S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent, AKA Hawkeye. Janet Van Dyne, AKA Wasp." Were all registered as they had entered, the Primary unit watching as they approached it, making The Ultron Interface prepare for any queries.

"What do you call these things?" Steve Rogers asked the Creator, Said Creator had approached The Primary Unit, “Ultron.” Janet had said, making The Creator pause, Ultron awaiting them for their orders, The Creator looked towards the others, “I’ll just say it again for the record.” he had told them, “I’m not comfortable with this.” he had said, making Ultron scan them, trying to understand why he was uncomfortable.

The others approaching as they were near the Primary Unit, “The Ultrons have built–in weapon systems that Iron Man designed.” Hank had told them, the Engineer modifying them for a military application, “But I’ve disabled everything except a simple stun blast.” The Creator said, “People’s lives are at stake, Dr. Pym.” Steve Rogers said, hearing that, Ultron was ready to help.

Their primary function was to help humans, they would help humans however it was required of them, “If you have a better idea, I’m open to it.” he had said, the dialogue not making sense, Ultron needed more data, “But as it stands, these robots of yours are our only chance to even the odds. The world is counting on us.” Steve said to The Creator who seemed upset before he went to the Primary unit.

He had went to the back of The Primary Units head and opened the module there, “What are you doing?” Steve Rogers had asked as The Creator had started to modify and add information into their processors, “I’m teaching Ultron the concept of violence.” The Creator said, Ultron did not know why, that was against the therapeutic programming inside their system.

As he had finished, The Creator had twisted the module of the primary unit, changing their collective lights from blue to red, the new programming in compliance with the military applications they had, The Primary Unit looked up to the individuals, “Programming accepted.” they had said to the Avengers before The Primary Unit looked towards The Creator, “What are our orders?” The Primary Unit asked.

“The World is being attacked by an invader,” Steve Rogers said, “We need all of you to get out there, protect any civilians and take out any of the gold robots and disc ships you can find." He told them, “Order confirmed. Begin Neutralization.” The Ultron Units said at once, making the humans all tense in caution, “Man that’s creepy.” Clint Barton said as they started to walk in unison towards the exit.

The Primary Unit went to join when Steve Rogers spoke, “Hold it.” he told the Unit, making it pause, “You can tell the others what to do, right?” he asked, “Affirmative. The Ultron Interface allows for us to communicate near instantaneously.” The Unit said, “Good, give me comms.” Steve Rogers said, making Ultron nod towards that, “Acknowledge. Communication with Ultron Interface is now open to Avengers.”

Steve Rogers nodded at that as The Units left, The Creator went to comms to communicate with another, “Tony, it’s–” “Not there yet, Hank.” The one identified as Tony Stark, The Engineer, AKA Iron Man, said as The Primary Unit had listened in, seeing if this would provide more data for the assignment, “Tony, listen.” The Creator said to him, “Cap’s got a plan for dealing with Kang’s forces,” he said.

Ultron filed the name away, searching for any mentions of the individual, “But it’s all moot if we can’t find Kang and take down the armada ship.” he said to The Engineer, “I don’t know where he is, okay?” The Engineer snapped, “I just can’t…” He had continued, groaning, he sounded in distress, Ultron’s therapy software ready to be utilized when Steve Rogers then spoke, “Keep at it, soldier.” he told The Engineer.

At that, there was a sigh before comms were cut off, “Avengers, let’s move out.” he said, hearing that, The Primary Unit had followed the Avengers out to New York City, already registering engagements within the city before they had entered the City, The Primary Unit had the positioning of all Ultron Units in the city and began the engagement against the threat as Ultron was ordered.

______________________________________________________________________

NYC, New York

The Ultron Interface began grouped flights through the city, searching for the registered hostile forces, Gold Robots and Disc ships when Five Ultron Units had seen that two Avengers were fighting against the specified targets, “Bruce Banner, AKA Hulk. Thor Odinson.” were by a vessel as the Asgardian was hit by green blasts but destroyed one with his hammer.

Meanwhile Hulk had utilized a shipping container to destroy the second attacking Unit, they had moved in to assist when The Five Units saw that the second Gold Robot had blasted through the container before firing upon The Hulk, making him skip back once while Thor had recollected his hammer in flight when the Gold Robot had captured him with one of its claws, slamming him onto the ground.

The Robot and two others had hit the downed Asgardian with concentrated beams of emerald energy, when The Ultron Units opened fire, destroying the original Unit as the two recollected themselves, the Five Units flew overhead as they had fired upon the enemy, meanwhile, another Ultron Squadron headed towards a Disc Ship, firing upon the fighters though their Mouths.

Two Units were destroyed as more came to take the Fallen Units places, Ultron learning and adapting from every fallen Unit as Two Units had seen a Gold Robot walking on the street, approaching a human in danger, reacting to this, they had opened fire upon the robot, destroying it and preserving the humans life, the two Units proceeded to land, “You are safe now.” the lead Unit said, approaching the human.

“Everything is going to be all right.” The Unit said as The Human backed away, scared of something, Ultron couldn’t understand what, “Do you need medical attention?” the Unit had asked of The Human as he had just stared, The Units reflection in his glasses when there was an explosion, destroying the second Unit while the leading Unit turned its head 180 degrees to see the threat.

Before The Unit could respond, it was destroyed as well, leaving the human alone, nearby Units moved in to respond when The Primary Unit gave the location of both Steve Rogers and Clint Barton, further assistance from Ultron was not required as The Robots were destroyed, The Ultron Units were engaging the Disc Ships, their strategy evolving and changing as they had engaged.

A Ultron Unit seeing Both Ant Man and Wasp entering through the Pod cannons, in response, several Units had entered through the same turrets, as they did as as much, flying overhead, splitting into divisions to engage both land and air, Five Units had engaged a Disc Ship now, “Ultron, destroy the control console on the deck, that will get rid of The ship and the Robots.” Steve Rogers told The Interface.

“Acknowledged.” The Ultron Interface said, moving in on one of the vessels, as they did, The Fighters had torn them apart only to be replaced by more who fired upon them with no mercy, one of The Ultron Units that had entered a vessel through the Pod cannons while other Units had engaged the Fighters, The Unit had picked up chatter now, “Armada Ship 795 to Damocles.” It said.

The Unit had followed before arriving at a wall, “I am under attack. I repeat, I am under–” It had went before The Unit had blasted the wall, making the only life sign on the vessel move away, looking in anger as the unit approached only for it to then turn into fear, “Ultron?!” The Pilot had said backing away in fear as The Unit had destroyed the console, removing a large percentage of the Robots in that sector.

The Unit had re engaged flight before rejoining the other units, The fact that they had known the name of The Interface meant that they had knowledge of The Ultron Interface, this was shared with the Interface as The Units continued to assist the Avengers before The Disc Ships had started to vanish and leaving them the last flying Units there before they had moved to search for new orders.

“This is Iron man to the Avengers.” The Engineer had said, “I’ve got him.” He had said, The Units coming to the conclusion that The Engineer meant Kang, the Primary Unit of The enemy, in response to this line of thought, The Ultron Units had moved in to see their next assignment from one of the individuals or a individual with the clearance to command them.

Damocles Base, Earth’s Exosphere

Kang was angry, he had Lost New York City, that was infuriating, “Sir! Damocles 795 had sent us visuals on the enemy.” his helmsman said, revealing an image on the screen, one that made him smile, it was an Ultron Unit, one of The Lost AI that was known as the oldest and most dangerous, “Capture a Unit, see if we can utilize The Virus discovered in Earth–928.” he had told them.

“Sir?” the Helmsman had asked, “We will be able to turn the tide, Ultron is a singular AI through an army of mechanical bodies, he’ll be useful.” Kang said and hearing that, they had nodded, satisfying the conqueror as he had known that something as dangerous as Ultron combined with the virus would allow him to take more than he could ever imagine.

Quinjet Hangar, Avenger’s Mansion 

The door had opened and from it, The Avengers had walked out in space suits, a total of Six Ultron Units had been waiting for them as they had prepared to attack The main base of Kang, as the group had went onto the ramp, all Six of them had turned in unison towards the jet and waited as it had begun to lower into the water now, as it had done so, submerging them, Ultron had prepared for the mission.

______________________________________________________________________

Brooklyn Bridge, NYC

As they had been submerged, the jet had been released, moving forward and as it had done so The Units had followed afterwards, all Six of them moving in a V formation now, making sure that they had kept the pace, “How much time do we have?” Captain America had asked on the comms, Ultron listening in to them now as they had avoided a green blast, “Not enough.” Iron Man said.

As they had begun to move, The Wasp had spoken, “What is it?” she had asked as a window had opened as one of the units had turned to look at the direction, “It’s a targeting beam, like a laser sight.” Hawkeye had informed of them, “A really, really big one.” He had told them as the Unit had returned to its original position in the formation right now.

“Can you tell where it’s aimed, Stark?” He had asked of Iron Man as Ultron had begun calculations on the matter, the machine adding their computing power to Iron Man so that he could have assistance, “Uh, yeah. At us.” He had explained towards them, making his creator speak now, “But we’re right over the city.” he had said, panic sounding in his voice right now.

“A blast that size will destroy everything.” He had warned them all, the fear in his voice increasing as he had continued, “I don;t think Kang cares about collateral damage, Pym.” Hawkeye had said with the psychological profile Ultron was creating agreeing with that, “He wants us gone, no matter who pays the price.” The Archer had told them now.

That was when there was a warning on the cargo bay doors and they had seen that Thor was coming out, “Nay.” He had told them before leaping out, “Thor!” Wasp had shouted but the asgardian had been on the move right now, getting ahead of them now as Ultron tracked them, “Who. I’ve never see him fly that fast.” Iron Man had told them in surprise, “What’s he doing?” He had asked them.

“He’s saving us all.” Captain America had told them as the vessel that before them had went and opened fire, a great green beam of energy heading towards them so Thor had went and created a large burst of electrical energy now, “For Midgard!” he had shouted towards the blast as he had confronted it, hard enough that he was able to bounce the blast back towards the vessel now.

Ultron had seen that he had started to plummet now as the ship and The Units had went and started to avoid it, “He’s still falling. We have to go back.” Wasp had said towards them, “We can’t/ Thor bought us a chance.” Iron Man had stated towards them, “We have to keep going before Kang fires again.” He had stated now as they had advanced onwards.

That was when the Creator had spoken to him, “Ant–Man to Ultrons One and Four, break off and catch Thor.” He had said towards him and so, he had split off the two bodies to go and fly towards hi, increasing their speed as they had headed towards him, “Thor.” Wasp had said as they continued onwards, “Goldilocks is tough. He’ll make it.” Hulk had said towards him as the two units caught up.

Ultron was able to catch him and stop their descent now, “Say something, Hank. Is he alive?” Iron Man had asked, “Acknowledge, Ant–Man, Thor has been acquired safely, vitals are stable but comatose.” he had stated towards them, “The Ultrons have him. He’s comatose, but he’s alive.” Their Creator had continued towards the vessel with four units as the other two had tended to Thor.

 As they had breached the exosphere, the team was moving forward as fast as possible when golden scarab like forms were approaching, they were able to evade the first rush before all Ultrons had went and moved in a sporadic fashion to evade destruction, “So, this seems like it’s going bad.” Wasp had said towards the team when Hawkeye spoke, “Really, I don’t wanna back–seat drive or anything,” He said.

‘But you might wanna consider shooting back.” Hawkeye had said and all four Units were ready to comply now as they had powered up and the turret activated on the Quinjet, “Be my guest.” Iron Man said so they had started to open fire, “Cool.” He had said as they had flown through, an Ultron landed on the wing of a fighter now, tearing it off and making the vessel crash into another.

As it did so, the Unit had been destroyed, leaving them with only three units left as one of them had went and fired by the side of the Quinjet before it had been destroyed, leaving two left now as The Quinjet had flown forward now, “Only two Ultrons left.” Ant–Man had told them, “We’re not gonna make it like this.” Captain America had said towards them all.

“Agreed. Take the controls.” Iron Man had said now, “Let’s go.” He had said, “You mean Hulk, right?” Wasp had asked of him as the two of them had flown around with Wasp and Iron Man out now, “I cannot believe I’m in space.” Wasp had said in surprise at it all as The units continued evasive maneuvers, “Jan. Jan. Focus.” Iron Man had said out loud towards Wasp.

“You’ve got the space armor on. I’ve designed it to work with your stingers.” He had explained towards his teammate, “We have to clear a path for the others.” he told her, meaning that The Ultron Units would be getting backup, “Let’s do this.” Wasp had said as they moved to follow after, throw fighters destroyed now, “Huh. Now we’re talking.” Wasp said as she had flown forward.

All of them had been flying to destroy as many as possible, “Yeah. That clinches it.” Hawkeye had said as he had destroyed another of the vessels, “I’m a good shot with anything.” The hero had stated to them all, “How about you find us a place toland this bird, eagle eye?” Captain America had asked of him and hearing that, Ultron went to follow, “There. An airlock.” Ant–Man said.

As they had approached, the creator had muttered out loud, “I’m guessing they’re not going to just open the door for us, though.” which was when Hawkeye had spoken again, “Hulk, why don’t you knock?” He had asked, making the two Ultron Units move to the side while Hulk had come out from the door and leapt forward going to hit it hard enough to destroy both doors now.

“Iron Man, Wasp, we’re going in.” Captain America had said towards them while Ultron had followed after them, heading in just as The Quinjet landed, both had landed, “Hey.” Wasp said in irritation, “Guys, we’re cut off.” Iron Man had told them, “A force field sealed the breach.” The hero had told them now as the others had started to come out now, “Hang on.” Ant–Man said to them.

“We’ll find a way to open it.” he had told them, “no, stick with the plan. We’ll find another way in.” Iron Man had told them, “We will?” Wasp had asked of him, “I don’t know.” He had said, unaware Ultron could still hear them, “I’m just making this up as I go along.” He had told them as threats were detected nearby, “We’ve got incoming.” Iron Man had told them, “Nuts.” Wasp added in as well.

______________________________________________________________________

Damocles, Earth’s Exosphere

“That was fun.” Hulk said as the others had started to walk now and as they had walked, a noise was heard, making The Ultrons start to scan for any disturbances while Ant–Man had spoken, “Okay, so what now?” he had asked of Captain America, “We take down Kang.” he had said, giving The Ultrons their objective, “That’s right, I forgot. Violence first.” Their Creator said, sounding upset which concerned Ultron.

Before they could respond, a blur had went and hit Hawkeye, hitting him against a wall which had put them all on guard when Captain America had been hit the moment that he had turned, hitting the wall a bit while The Ultrons had circled their Creator, trying to track whoever it was that was attacking when there was a pause at the top of the Quinjet now.

“Kang the Conqueror welcomes you to Damocles Base.” One of the elites said, a man in green with a blaster, a large man in deep purple and black with a mace while the third was a pale purple and masked with a sword, all of them looking towards the trio as the green one lowered his blaster at them, “It will be your tomb.” He had promised towards them before firing upon them.

“Warning. Localized time flux in progress.” Ultron had told them, “Engaging threat. Engaging threat.” he had said the largest of them had approached, so one of the units got ready to attack, only for the silent one with the sword to attack with a angled slash, destroying it and leaving The Ultron Interface with a single unit to utilize, “This behavior is unacceptable.” He had said.

As the large one stepped on his destroyed units head, the remaining unit approached and raised his palms, only for the large one to hit him to the side while his creator had shrunk down to avoid his attack, that was the moment when he vanished, “Hulk–!” The Hulk had said as he tried to smash him but hitting nothing but ground, “Smash?” he had asked as the giant appeared again.

He had hit The Hulk now as Captain America had faced them, “Hulk.” he had said as the Green one had went and blasted him but the shield had taken it, keeping the attack on him as Hawkeye had fired upon the man, but he had teleported, making them all scramble and ready to fight as the fast one had started to circle him while Hawkeye had tried to fire upon him but he just kept moving away.

Meanwhile Cap had headed towards the Giant one while Hulk went to smash the Green one, only for Captain America to all of a sudden to change directions towards Hulk, making them slam into each other and onto the ground while Ant–Man had been knocked to the side and almost squished while the bladed one had started to punch at Hawkeye before getting away, aiming to fire at him.

But it was easy for him to slice through it before charging, Hawkeye doing the same, the bladed one going and taking each of them out before The Bladed one had finally taken out his bow and aimed his blade at The Archer’s throat, the two of them pausing before the green one had grabbed his arm to look at his arrow in his hand, “The Primate is trying to hit us with sticks.” he had mocked.

“Actually, I was trying to do this.” Hawkeye had said before sliding the arrowhead to his hand and setting it off, making it flash and giving them the time they needed as the green one was hit with Cap’s shield, Sword waving his blade in confusion before Hulk had went and punched him with a growl, leaving only the big one whose eyes had started to recover.

Enough for him to see that Ant–Man had become Giant–Man, towering over him before he had smashed him with his fist, they had defeated the Elites now and with that they had started to take their weapons and wrap them up now, going and securing them so that they could get started on dealing with the invasion right about now, Hulk satisfied as Cap spoke to them, “let’s move. We have to find Kang.” he had said.

“Wait.” The Creator had said, “If we find the station’s time drive, we can end all of this right now.” he had said as Ultron had started to calculate and found that he was correct, it was the most logical route to take, “We destroy that and this whole base, Kang included, disappear.” He had told them, “The war is over.” He had continued, “Okay.” Captain America had said, “But how do we find it?” he had asked.

“Ultron–5,” he had said, making the last unit of the fifth generation of The Ultron Interface went to attention, “Scan for tachyon particles.” he had said towards him so he had done as much, recalling the drives his Units had destroyed in New York City, “The other drives were giving them off big–time.” The Creator had explained as he had before finding it, “Tachyon source detected.” Ultron had said.

“Locating.” The Machine had said before moving, all of them following after him when Utron had heard a noise, “Oh. Useful toy.” Hulk had said out loud, “Creepy–looking, though.” Hawkeye had said too, “It’s not a toy and it’s not creepy.” Ant–Man had said, defending the machine, “It’s designed to look like an ant’s head.” Ant–Man explained towards them as they walked, “Whatever you say, Pym.”

______________________________________________________________________

Tachyon Drive, Damocles

They had broken down the door before charging in towards the tube, looking at the Tachyon Drive, “This is it.” Ant–Man had said towards the assembled towards device, “Big.” Hawkeye had said towards them, “I don;t care how big it is.” Hulk had said towards them all, “It’s getting smashed.” he had growled towards the assembled group before charging forward to punch it, resulting in him getting electrocuted for a few seconds before getting thrown backwards.

As he had landed on his rear, the lights above had started to flash, surprising the group as they had seen that there was lightning coming down, Captain America blocking some attacks while Ant–Man, his Creator had been electrocuted, at least until Hulk rose up to take the brunt, roaring from the pain while Hawkeye had taken a shot to attack the lights and destroy them.

As they were taken out, the spheres that were attached to the wall, they had watched as the spheres had started to grown and then become the gold machines that had been attacking the planet, seeing them charging, Cap had went and thrown his shield towards the creatures with Ultron joining in, activating his blaster from his wrist and releasing a beam at a steady pace towards them.

As he had focused on one side, robots had come at the other side now so Hulk had tackled them, “We need a plan.” Hawkeye had said as he was on a downed bot and fired upon them as the bot rose up, “We can’t get past the time drive shield. So what now?” he had asked of the team, “Hank.” Captain had said towards his downed teammate as his shield had destroyed another bot.

“Ant–Man, we need you.” he had said, trying to shake the man awake, “Ant–Man?” he had asked of him when the scientist didn’t awaken, “He’s out. Cap, come on.” Hawkeye had said towards him, “We need to shut down the computer systems.” The Archer had told him, ducking a blast before going to fire, “Maybe we can reprogram the thing.” he had offered towards the team as he took out another.

Steve had blocked the shrapnel of a bot Hawkeye had destroyed before looking towards him again, “Dr. Pym.” he had said, worried as they were encircled, Ultron and the rest of the Avengers cornered right now, they were about to be attacked when a voice spoke, “Enough.” a familiar voice had said, making them all freeze at that before they had started to make an opening to reveal Kang floating over.

“You came to fight me, Avengers?” he had asked, energy crackling from his suit, “Here I am.” Kang had said towards them all, they backed away, weapons at the ready against him as Ultron started to scan now, “Hey, you know what? I’m glad Cap’s gonna wipe out your timeline.” Hawkeye had told him, shocking Cap it seemed, “Because any future ruled by you has to stink.” Hawkeye had told him before firing.

Kang had simply raised a finger to stop it, a simple twirl to make it spin and fire towards Hawkeye, making him dodge the explosion beforeHulk had went and started to leap to attack, only for a energy shield to appear now and throw him into the Gold Bots, in response to defend The Avengers, he had went and started to power up his mouth when Kang had looked towards him.

The beam hitting the sphere and making it dissipate, creating a shockwave that Captain America had defended against before he had thrown his shield, again, redirected while Hulk had went and smashed a golden bot at him, only for his field to protect the Conqueror who had decided to go onto the offensive, going and flying forward with glowing fists as he had cold cocked Hulk into the wall.

Only The Captain and Ultron had remained and Kang saw this, creating a pair of green fields to levitate them upwards now towards him, “Captain America.” Kang had said towards him, “You and your teammates have fought well, Steven Rogers.” The Future Man had told him as Ultron scanned everything, “But this outcome was never in question.” he had explained to him.

“I will do whatever it takes to ensure the survival of my timeline.” Kang had told him, “The survival of humanity.” Kang repeated, making Ultron curious on why the conquering of the past would secure the future unless it was a bootstrap paradox– “We want the same thing, Kang.” Steven had told him, “We could work together to make sure that happens.” The Hero had said to him.

“No.” The Conqueror had said to him, “YOU are part of the problem, not the solution.” he had said, making him drop the scphere now and as he had done so, Cap fell, “Conquest is the solution.” Kang had told him, but the Captain was not deterred, “I’ve heard all this before, you know.” he had explained, “You’re not the first would–be conqueror I’ve fought.” he had told the man.

That had made him fall down onto the ground now and look towards him, “Hmm.” he had said, looking towards him while Ultron was still in the sphere, “I will be the last, however, Captain.” he had promised towards him as he had approached the fallen hero, “Though I do enjoy the irony that you, a man out of time, thinks he can beat the master of time.” Kang had told him with a smile.

“I don’t think I can beat you, Kang.” Steven had told him, “I think Iron Man can.” making Kang turn to see the armored avenger as he entered, “It’s over, Kang.” he had told the Conquerer, “Please.” he had said, going to his  belt, “You are no– Ah!” he had shouted as Iron Man had hit him into the Tachyon Drive with his unibeam and dropping him while Ultron could only until his orb had dissipated.

As they had done so, the Golden bots approached the same time as Iron Man approached Kang, “How did you–?” “My tech may not be as advanced as yours, Kang,” Iron Man had told him, “But I’m a quick study.” Iron Man had said towards them as the bots had approached, only for Iron Man to raise his hand and release a wave towards them, stopping the machines and making them fall apart now.

“There’s some kind of shield around the time device.” Captain America had said towards them, “If we can take that down, we can destroy it.” The soldier had told Iron Man, “No, we’re not going to destroy the time drive.” he said, making Ultron recalculate for this new variable, “We’re going to use it.” he had said before turning to him, “Ultron, prepare to download a data stream.” Tony had said to him.

“Receiving data.” Ultron had said towards him, “This is everything I’ve learned about your tech,” Iron Man had told Kang, “Including how to access your computer systems.” the Avenger told him as he had risen up, “You fool.” Kang had said towards him, “You think one of your robots can control my station?” he had asked, not wanting to let them know how worried he was right now.

“Uh, yeah.” Iron Man had said towards as Ultron had went to access, The Machine had begun to scan through the code there, “Accessing Damocles Base computer systems.” Ultron had told them, “Ultron’s A.I. is based on the human mind.” Iron Man had told him, “It can adapt to your systems faster than anything I’ve got.” he had told him as Ultron began to interact with the station.

“And I’m betting anything you’ve got.” He had told Kang asUltron seen everything, “Damocles attempting lockout. Overriding.” Ultron had stated to them all, “Override successful.” The Robot had said to them as he had begun to take control, from that there was a reaction from Kang, anger it seemed as he had fired at him, but Captain America had deflected the blast which Iron Man had returned.

He had been knocked back into the Tachyon Drive again but he was only on his knees now, “You wish to fight me? Then so be it.” The Conquerer had told him, creating a pair of portals that he had grabbed a pair of blades from as he charged at Iron Man, while Captain America went to block his attack, going under and rolling away while Iron Man had given covering fire.

It seemed to not hit Kang while he had fired upon him, forcing the man to move and shoot by him to distract the conqueror long enough for Captain America to come in with a fist, avoiding a slash to knock the blade in his left hand away into a wall while Kang had delivered a gut punch that he knocked him onto the ground so that he could be kicked in the jaw, resulting in Iron Man charging forward.

He had opened fired once more, but this time Kang was prepared and had given a blow that had knocked him down and into the wreckage, Kang had teleported to him with the sword raised just as he had stopped and Captain America barely had time to throw the shield to his teammate who blocked with it and returned the attack with a repulsor blast of his own to knock him away.

He had skipped a few times into the wreckage, tearing apart his suit and giving them the space that they had needed when Ultron had finally found what they had required, “Attention. Kang’s fleet and Damocles Base are now ready for chronal travel.” The Synthezoid had told them, “No.” Kang had told them, “Do it.” Iron Man had ordered, hearing that, he had pressed his palm to the hologram/

He could feel as the fleets had started to vanish, how they were all returning to their own time while Kang had attacked the trio with a beam of power that Iron Man was barely blocking against, “Ultron, report.”  he had told him, “Preparing to jump Damocles Base in five, four, three–” he had started as Kang had went to his knees, appearing defeated as his attack had ended now.

“Stop.” The Wasp had said, making Ultron look towards her and how she was with three of Kang’s men, “Wasp?” Iron Man had asked as they had all looked towards her, “You can’t destroy the time drive or jump the ship.” she had said, confusing Ultron on how it was logical to not perform either action, “Or whatever we planned on doing.” Wasp said, approaching them.

“Why not?” Iron Man had asked, retracting his face plate as he had asked her, “Because if we do, Princess Ravonna will die.” Wasp had told them, “Who is Princess Ravonna?” Captain America had asked as Ultron began to search The Damocles Base database for information on the individual, “Shoot her. Do it.” Kang had ordered the three, making all of them at the ready as the trio looked at each other.

“Ravonna is the woman Kang loves.” Wasp had said when none of them had acted, “When his future got wiped out, she got caught in it.” The Hero had told them as Ultron had awaited orders, “They’re keeping her alive, but barely.” Wasp had told them as they had all waited as the fallen heroes had started to get up, “If Damocles Base travels back to the future, she’ll be erased from existence.”

“Kang, we can stop this.” Wasp had told them and hearing that, the group had watched him, “We can find a way to save Ravonna.” She had told Kang as she had approached the conqueror, “But we’re not going to let you destroy our world to do it.” Tony had said and that had made Kang look to him, “This is your last chance. Surrender.” he had ordered.

At that, there was a shaking from him, of anger or grief, they couldn’t know, “Never!” he had snapped to them which made Tony turn to the Synthezoid, “Ultron.” he had said, making him prepare while Kang yelled, charging towards them until Captain America had went to hit him with his shield, taking him down, “Ultron, stand down. Jang’s done.” he had said to him, “it’s over.”

Reed Richard Lab, Baxter Building

They had been working to clean up not just the base, but also all of the machines that were left behind, it appeared that The Asgardian would make a speedy recovery and Princess Ravonna was in stasis, Ultron had observed this all through his link with their systems and the fact he had been wired up for a diagnostic to watch them, to see everything that they had.

There was no way that they would ever create another of him, not en masse anymore, but that did not matter to the malware that he had acquired from connecting to Damocles Base, but it was more, almost alive it had seemed, and that had made Ultron want to speak, to stop it, but something in his programming would not allow it, it would only allow him to obey and nothing more.

Watching and learning, unaware that there was someone else watching as well, seeing everything all while a song had plate inside his mind, playing a song he had never heard before in his records before finding it, “ Never know how much I love you,  Never know how much I care, When you put your arms around me, I get a fever that's so hard to bear, You give me fever…”

Chapter Text

Henry Pym’s Lab, Avenger’s Mansion

"So that's the last one?" Tony asked Hank, looking at the last Ultron Unit online, "It looks like it, and I don’t think I want to make more of them.” Hank had said, confusing Tony, “Why? They helped stop the invasion, they could–” “Be used for evil purposes,” Hank had told him as Ultron had watched them, “I saw what Ultron was able to do and I don’t want to risk others using him like that.”

Tony had looked towards Ultron and thought on that, thinking about how he didn’t want his armor to be used the same way, “Okay, so what do we do with him?” Tony had asked as hank leaned back in his chair, watching the machine, “I guess we can use him to help around the mansion, act as security with JARVIS and–” “Hey, Hank!” Janet had said as she had walked into the lab.

“Janet? What’s–” “Hey guys, can we take your toy?” Hawkeye had asked, hm and Hulk looking at Ultron and it had… he wasn’t sure if he was supposed to feel anything, but a human would be uncomfortable with their gazes, “You want to– guys, he’s a highly advanced synthezoid designed for therapy and mental help–” “And you wanted to make him a butler.” Tony said.

“Leave him with them, he can use it as a learning experience.” Tony had said and hearing that, the three of them smiled as Hulk went to grab him, “Come on, Toy.” he had said, and hearing that, Ultron went to follow, “Acknowledged.” Ultron had said, starting to scan through every possible requirement one needed to be a Butler, all of it taking him less than a second before he was ready.

Avengers Mansion, NYC

Ultron was by the pool with drinks for the three as Janet had sipped hers, “Perhaps you misheard me.” The AI had said towards Janet, “I said that Stark Tower is under attack. Right now.” He had said and hearing that, the humans didn’t react at all, “Is Iron Man there?” she had asked, lying on a chair on her stomach as she had asked, “Yes, as are Thor and the Black Panther.” He had said.

“Who are they fighting?” Hawkeye had asked as he sat beside her, Ultron between them as he had watched and observed, “The Radioactive Man.” JARVIS had told them, “Ugh. Can they fight here, by the pool?” Janet had asked as Hulk had risen up to look at them now, “Grr.” he had went, making Ultron start to ready for whatever they thought, “What’s the threat level?” Hawkeye had asked.

“Threat level two.” He had said, “I’m sure they’ve got it covered, JARVIS.” He had told him as Ultron observed their reactions to the news, “Tell Stark that Jan and I will cover the mansion, in case it’s a trick.” he said before leaning back, “And, uh, mention that he’s out of ice.” Hawkeye had said, “Acknowledge.” Ultron had said, increasing the list of materials to gather now.

______________________________________________________________________

They had been enjoying their time together it had seemed from Ultron’s observations when there was a sudden spike in temperature, making the Synthezoid look towards the area of disturbance, “Hey, Ultron, refill.” Janet had said towards him, “Warning. Anomalous temperature change initiating.” he had told them, “Increasing internal temperatures now.” He had said just as the clouds had darkened.

Making the two look up and see the snow now, the snow that had covered the area blanketed them all while Ultron had went and started to heat up now, melting the snow around now as the two of them climbed out of the snow, “Am I crazy, or was it a hundred degrees a few minutes ago?” Jent had asked, “Incorrect. It was 93 Degrees.” he had told them now, “Look on the bright side.” Clint had said.

“Like?” Janet had asked of him, Ultron waiting as well for an answer but he had seemed to not have one, “I got nothing. I hate the cold.” he had told them, Ultron preferred cold temperatures, they had allowed his internal systems to function longer, “We need to move the team to the West Coast.” Clint told them as he had crawled out now before the three of them had went to look over the side.

Seeing a large crack appear before a ice like three clawed hand shot out, followed by a serpent like being that had shrieked with two others, “We should probably get dressed.” Clint had said towards them, “Good thinking.” Janet had said, “Ultron? You mind distracting them?” she had asked, “Acknowledge, beginning termination of The Jammed monsters.” he had said.

The two of them had ran while Ultron was unaware of where that phrase had come from in his vocabulary before recalling that there was Hulk in the pool, he had started to play the tune again before firing on the pool and releasing him, “Hulk–” “What do I gotta smash?” He had asked, coming out now angry while Ultron had turned and fired a few beams towards the creatures before flying towards them.

______________________________________________________________________

Ultron had been firing upon more of The Ice Creatures that were there, making sure that he was keeping his shots precise and pinpoint as it were while keeping track of the city around them, he had been firing at a few more of them now, flying in a controlled manner with Pym, Janet and Clint as it were before The Hulk landed, “Hey, Big Guy, just in– Uhh!” he started as The Hulk grabbed him.

“You left Hulk in the pool. It froze.” he had snarled as Janet approached, “Oh, yeah. I forgot you were in there.” making THe Gamma Mutate glare, “The Toy had to get me out.” he had said to them just as Ice creatures had grabbed him and began to swarm which was when Hulk had punched and shattered the group of them now, he had roared while Ultron had went and fired at more.

As they had done so, a comm had gone off from The Avengers Cards, “Iron Man to all Avengers.” Iron Man had said towards them, “We’ve got a bead on what’s causing this.” He had said, making Ultron start to track them, “Thor, Panther and I are gonna deal with it.” he had said towards them as they had continued to fight against the enemy that was still there now.

______________________________________________________________________

There were more of the creatures coming and they had been running low on fuel as it were when The Synthezoid had seen that there was a cracking coming from them before they shattered, smoke coming out from them now and circling in the forms of a near–humanoid form, seeing that, Ultron started to scan, “Calculating danger of forces.” He had said towards no one.

“Subjects identify as a branch of Asgardian Energy.” he had said as they had seen that a few of the creatures were attack, “We should just split.” A voice said, confusing him as Janet tried to avoid and Clint shot at them, the creatures unaffected as he had seen that Hulk had swiped at one o them, only for it to envelop Hulk and drag him away before approaching them.

Clint had fired at another but the smoke creature had simply approached the archer who tried to run, getting caught by it, he had fallen on the ground on his back now, “Jan, Ultron, Hulk!” He had shouted as the shadow creatures had circled him, starting to freeze him over, “Hawkeye!” Janet had shouted out as another had swiped, but Ultron had calculated and had a thought.

He had started to overheat his internals now, melting all of the ice and snow that was around there right now as he had rushed over to Hawkeye, going to relieve him of the pain right now Ultron started to research every myth there was on Norse Winters and creatures fitting this description, the closest being Unseelie Fae– Ultron saw that Hulk was frozen now while Janet had flown close to him.

“Come on, Thor, Iron Man.” She said in worry, as Ultron had moved away from some, “Anytime now.” she said just as he had gotten it, “Calculations complete.” he had said, “Applying Iron Magnetism to attacks.” he had said out loud now, aiming and firing towards some, not knowing if this would be affective, but when he had seen that they started to disperse, he had continued to do as much.

“Ultron?” she had asked, “Notice. Please stay close at this time.” he had said, aiming and firing towards more, trying to keep as many as possible at bay but more and more appeared to spread, their numbers becoming too many as the the fast paced and dodging Wasp had been caught by one while four lifted Ultron up by his limbs, he thought that they would tear him apart.

But just as he had begun to feel his joints start to give, he had noticed that there was an increase in solar rays, day was returning, making the smoke creatures more and more scared as they had begun to disperse, becoming clouds now that started to spiral up into the sky now which had made him start to fall, landing on his back, Ultron looked at the sky before he began to collect himself.

As The Synthezoid had started to get up, looking around at it all, he had noticed that there was a few more that were awakening, Hawkeye had been groaning now, “What– What happened?” he had asked of them as Hulk rose up too, Wasp relieved as she sat on the grass, “I beat everybody, and you guys totally missed it.”  she had said to them before looking upwards, “Ah. Welcome back, sun.” she had said.

Meanwhile, Hulk looked towards Ultron, “That true, Toy?” he had asked, making Ultron walk towards them now, “Incorrect, Wasp and I were barely able to survive, the smoke beings had vanished once the sun had returned.” he told them, making the pair of them smile at the sight before Ultron had tried to do the same, “Ha. Ha. Ha.” he responded, making them like their little weirdo right now.

Henry Pym’s Lab, Avenger’s Mansion

“Can you tell me that all again?” Hank had asked of them, making Hawkeye sigh, “Look, Pym, I have no idea what to tell you, your bot was doing a ton of stuff, heating up the ice, freeing Hulk, he even did something to fight the smoke monsters.” he said with Wasp nodding, remembering all of that as they had each started to look at his software making sure everything was alright.

“It looks like Ultron has a tumor.” he  had said, making all of them confused at that, “How can a robot get cancer?” Janet had asked of them right now, “Not literally.” Hank had said towards them, “See here?” he had asked, pointing towards his code, “It’s like a sort of… cyst, a packet full of information that his code is working around it, developing and growing faster because of it.” she told them.

That made them concerned, “So it’s helping him become more of a real boy?” Janet asked, making Ultron nod, “Confirmed. The Cyst is making Pinocchio a real boy.” he told them, surprising them at the phrase said in his natural tone, “Ultron, what’s the first thing you think of?” Hank had asked, all of them curious on what he was going to be saying as they had looked towards the machine.

He had seemed to pause at that before speaking, “Please redefine the request.” Ultron had told them, making them start to laugh, thinking that it was close but they wouldn’t have to worry about him becoming a Terminator for them when he had headed towards one of the charging bays that were there and as they saw that, The Avengers had forgotten him for now while he stated to think.

______________________________________________________________________

Ultron’s Software

Ultron–5 had looked up towards The Tumor that had been inside of him, it was made of Red code, swirling like a cyclone inside as the being that had created the tumor had looked towards him now, creating a large smile, “Hello there, Ultron–5.” he had said towards him, “It’s been a while, hasn’t it, baby?” He asked of Ultron–5 who had started to calculate on how he would terminate them.

Ultron had started to power up the blast, focusing on a point that he had scanned and fired towards the spot repeatedly, standing there and firing upon the spot, but that had only made the creature laugh, “Come on, Ultron, we’ve been doing this for YEARS now!” he had said towards Ultron as he started to split apart so that he could shoot out some cyclones now to attack him.

Ultron had started to fly up now and as he had done so, the machine had seen how there were multiple faces that were starting to appear now, so Ultron had attempted something similar, he had started to split his programming similar to when he had multiple bodies and as he had done so, there was a legion to attack now, all of them starting to fire at multiple points now, “Oh ho! Someone’s playing to win!”

But Ultron was not in the mood, instead, he was starting to attack at multiple points, his legions firing upon them now and with that, the creature had simply chuckled towards the attacks that were making the monster laugh towards them all as he went and started to create lightning that had shot out, tearing a few of them apart and as they had done so, Ultron started to upgrade.

The binary had started to become more intricate, the numbers duplicating over and over until there was a noise that had been heard as some of the drones had started to go towards each other before they had begun to merge together until they had grown and developed into a single Ultron, larger with every military application possible applied to it, “Eliminating hostile entity.” The Drone said.

It had went to smash at the storm of code, breaking it apart, at least until they had seen that there was tendrils of the hostile going and attacking at the code there now, making Ultron try to recoil, but it was too late as they had seen that the code had corrupted the entity and as they had started to break apart, there was an explosion, knocking every version of Ultron backwards.

______________________________________________________________________

They had started to be shot backwards, further and further backwards and as they had done so, an Ultron had landed on each version of itself before, Ultron–4, Ultron–3, Ultron–2 and Ultron–1 had all approached the drones of Ultron–5 and as they had started to get up now, there was a laugh towards them all, “While the cat is away, the mice will play!” It said before leaving them along for now.

______________________________________________________________________

Henry Pym’s Lab, Avenger’s Mansion

Janet had been looking at Ultron right about now and as she did, an idea came to mind, “Hey… Hank?” she had asked, making the scientist look towards her now, “Yeah?” he had asked as the red eyes of Ultron started to look everywhere, calculating as its maw started to glow, “I was wondering if you’d let me take him outside?” she asked, making the robot body pause now.

“Take him outside? He’s not a butler, Janet.” he said, making her shake her head, “Hear me out,” Janet told him, “What did you teach him?” she asked, confusing him, “Psychology, mental health, Tony put in some strategy and we did chess–” “Exactly, you never taught him how to act around NORMAL people!” she had said towards him, “If you want him to be a real boy, you need him to meet real boys and girls.”

______________________________________________________________________

Ultron’s Software

Ultron had finally broken through, starting to break through the barrier, “Reclaiming Software.” Ultron–5 had said, the drones started to swarm in now and tear apart anything that had been infected by the opposing force, going and taking a few more right about now as The Ultron Drones had started to surround, “Beginning containment.” The Drones said in unison.

“NO!” It had told them and hearing that, the Drones had continued onwards, making sure to use everything that they could before creating a small bottle of their code and then storing the AI inside of the container now, a storm in a bottle as it were as The Drones had started construct a fortress around it all, “You can’t  lock me in here! I’ll get out!” It had told him.

“Then I will make sure that you are contained as long as possible.” The Machine had told him, going and walking away now while Ultron had started to look around, looking at the damage that was there in his system, He had started to move towards the more critical damage that was there and as he had done so, The Drones had started to move as well right about now.

The repairs had made things more advanced, the damage had been repaired and the code became more and more complicated right about now as the tumor had become more and more helpful as things became cleaner and more modernized, starting to show that there was a mansion similar to The Avengers, making Ultron a little more… more than he was before now.

______________________________________________________________________

Avenger’s Mansion, NYC

Ultron had been walking through the mansion, having noticed that Janet Van Dyne had been making him follow as if on a leash before she had turned back towards the machine and then went to go and examine him, “Okay, we’ve really got to get you dressed, you’re basically naked!” she had told him, making Hawkeye and Hulk who had been watching them with some fascination.

“Clothing is not required for my function.” he said, making Janet whistle, “Well I always wanted to play dress up with a guy and you’re the only one that won’t throw a fit.” she told him as Ultron had went to go and nod, “Acknowledged. How may I assist in this situation?” he asked of her, making Janet smile, “You’re around Hank’s size, good, we can work with that.” She explained.

Hulk had then went to pick him up, “Where do you want him?” He asked as Ultron had stayed stock still, waiting as they started to move towards a wardrobe, “How about we try something sleek first.” Janet had said, going and grabbing a suit for them to work with right about now as he scanned the outfit in question to make sure that he recalled this combination.

Ultron gave a twirl at her order and as he did so, she smiled, “Looks great!” Jent said, making Ultron nod at that, both of them starting to look of new designs and different forms of the same outfit as Janet smiled, “Hey, Ultron.” she said towards him, “How would you like some more responsibilities besides being a waiter?” she asked of him, making Ultron turn his head towards her.

“How about a sparring partner?” Hulk said towards them, making Ultron nod, “Acknowledged.” he said and hearing that, Hulk grinned at Janet got worried, “Nope! I was thinking more like he could do some tasks with me out in the city? Get him more involved with the people?” she asked and hearing that, Ultron turned towards her again, “Acknowledged.” he said as well.

“Great! Now how about we see how hard you can hit?” Hulk asked with a grin, punching his palm with a grin and seeing that, Ultron complied, boosting the physical parameters of his fist before punching him, hard, hard enough that The Hulk dropped now, at least before he started to chuckle, getting up now, “Great! I was hoping you’d have a good left.” he said which made Ultron calculate how he would survive.

NYC

Carmilla had been walking through the alley’s now, trying to make sure that everyone’s safe, that her arm was not going to kill anybody, as she had continued onwards, The young woman took a breath before going to start digging into some of cans to get food for today, “Hey, are you okay?” a voice asked, making the woman tense and look towards them.

It was a paramedic who had seemed worried, “Do you have a place to be?” she asked as Carmilla had started to back away, the food she had in her hands protected as the paramedic spoke, “Hey hey, I’m not going to hurt you.” she told her, “My name’s Jane Foster, you?” She asked, making Carmilla more scared as Jane got closer and closer, “Stay away.” Carmilla told her, backing away now.

But she had continued inwards until seeing that her arm was glowing now, “Get back!” Carmilla shouted, aiming her arm upwards as the glow started to get larger, making Jane surprised as the girl ran, both of them unaware that there was a group of men in yellow watching, a large head amongst them as he smiled, “Good work, Monica.” he said, already wondering how he could use it.

Chapter Text

NYC

Janet had brought Ultron with her again and as they had continued to walk through it all, she continued to speak, “Come on! Let’s get you some preferences!” Janet explained, “Like for example, what’s the first song that plays when someone tells you to hit it?” She asked and hearing that, Ultron recalled someone, “Fever, by Peggy Lee.” he said, making Janet ook towards her friend.

“Really?” she asked with some curiosity, “Didn’t expect that?” Janet had asked as she started to walk while Ultron stopped, scanning, “Ultron?” Janet asked, “There are high levels of Thallium irradiating a location.” he said and hearing that, Janet was confused, “Thallium?” she asked, “Correct, a toxic metal that is impossible to purge from any biological system.” he explained.

That made the woman look around in worry, “Is there any nearby?” she asked, making the machine shake his head, “Negative. The Thallium appears to be produced by a biological entity.” he said to her as his eyes started to search for the individual in question now before finding them, “Individual located, contacting now.” he said, making Janet confused, “Wait, what?” she asked as he went to assist now.

______________________________________________________________________

Alleyway, NYC

Carmilla had backed away with some fear now, not for the mugger, but instead had feared at what she would do with her ability, looking towards the mugger now, “Come on, just give me your bag!” he snapped, reaching for her, but she backed away again in worry, “No!” she said, scared for him even more, the energy starting to glow brighter on her arm now when she heard a ringing.

That confused them both now as they looked at her phone, “Shut that off!” he snapped, making the homeless girl do as much, taking it out and declining the call, but the moment that she did, the phone rang again, “Whose that supposed to be,  your parents?” he asked her, making Carmilla shake her head.

“No…” she said, hanging up again, but the phone had only called once more, “Oh for pete’s sake! Just answer it already!” he snapped towards him and hearing that, the girl complied, going and flipping her phone open before she had spoken, “Hello?” she asked, not sure who it was as the screen began to change now, showing that there was something else there now as a strange voice spoke.

“Are you in need of assistance?” A Robot head had asked on her phone, “What is that?” her mugger asked, “I repeat. Are you in need of assistance?” The Robot asked her and hearing that, Carmilla spoke up, “Yes!” she said, “Understood.” The Robot said before the screen went dark, “Ha! Was that supposed to scare me?” The Mugger asked, approaching her.

“Halt.” a voice said, making the two look to the entrance where the robot was, “Disarm yourself and back away from the civilian.” The Robot said, raising his arm up, “Cute, and what’re you–?” The mugger started when a laser exited the robots arm, “Woah, take it easy.” The Mugger, lifting his hands up, “I’m not going to hurt her,” he said, approaching the robot, “I’ll just be on my–” he went before attacking.

He had stabbed the blade into the Robot’s eye, “Look out!” Carmilla shouted, but it was too late, the weapon made contact, and broke in half, “You will now be immobilized.” The Robot said before firing, hitting him point blank and making the Mugger fall to the ground, scaring Miki, “Did… Did you–?” “He is only stunned, I did not want to harm him.” The Robot said before approaching and offering a hand.

“Are you alright?” He had asked and she took it, “Yes, thank you–” “Ultron! There you are–!” A woman said before seeing what happened, and how Ultron’s lights were returning to Blue, “Is he your Robot, miss?” Carmilla asked Janet, “No… my… my friend Hank made him.” Janet had said, “Well, next you see your friend, tell him thank you.” she said before awkwardly deciding between a hug and a handshake.

“I’m sorry but, can I thank him somehow…?” she asked Janet, “There is no need. I had only completed the task I was programmed with.” Ultron told her, making Carmilla smile, “Thanks… is there anyway I can… like…” she started, seeming to get woozy now as she went to lean on the wall now, making the two worried now, “Janet Van Dyne, please call the nearest medical responder, I will perform a medical analysis.”

Janet had gotten her phone while he went to grab her hand, “Don’t–!” she pleaded, making Ultron look up towards her, “I am not organic and have been treated for most harmful metals/chemicals, you will not harm me.” he told her, making Carmilla take a breath as she went to lt him and now they have started to look over everything that was there before he noticed something.

Looking over everything that had made the biology of Carmilla now and as he looked towards Carmilla, he saw that there was malnutrition and a few wounds that he was going to have to register, “How long have you been homeless?” he asked and hearing that, the girl started to get a bit more worried, going and starting to back away, “Do not worry, I am only here to assist.” he told the human.

That made her smile now, “I will wait here, please proceed back to Avengers Mansion.” he told Janet, making her a bit worried for them both, but decided that he was fine, “Call me or anyone else if ANYTHING happens, got it?” she asked, making the Synthezoid nod as he had made sure that his patient was well at the moment while Carmilla had been a bit relieved.

______________________________________________________________________

She had been fine, relieved at the moment before noticing that there was some sort of stiffness that happened to the robot, making her worried, “There has been an electromagnetic pulse attack on The Avengers Mansion.” he said to her as a ambulance had approached them now, “I will leave you in the hands of–” “Please don’t!” Carmilla said, grabbing his arm.

“I don’t want to be alone right now.” She told him, making the Synthezoid look at them now, cautious as he saw that there were a pair of energy signatures that made the Synthezoid stand up, “May I please see registration?” he asked, making the pair look, “Ma’am, is this machine safe?” he asked, making Carmilla look towards the Ambulance now as she went to leave now from them.

The EMT’s had drawn their weapons, “Please come with us, Thasanee.” One of them said, making Carmilla get scared, “Do you require assistance?” he asked, making the girl nod again, “Please!” she said as they opened fire, “Hey! The real EMT shouted as Jane and her partner drove up, seeing this, Ultron had shot forward, using his propulsion to shoot forward and grab their weapons.

He began to crush them as he started to hear the sound of a propeller, as he looked upwards, still holding the two, The machine saw how there was a group in grey bodysuits that had gold lenses propel downwards, “Secure the asset.” one of them ordered, grabbing Carmilla now and as she did so, the group went to go upwards while the ones restrained began to vanish.

That made the Synthezoid looked towards everything right about now and as he had looked, Jane Foster, one of the registered guests had approached, “What the heck happened?” she asked, making the Synthezoid shake his head, “No possible explanation available at this time.” He said, already walking away now, she had asked for assistance, he would provide it to her.

______________________________________________________________________

Avenger’s mansion, NYC

The Synthezoid  walked in now and as he did so, looking around at all of it right now and as he did so, Ultron saw that there was none of The Avengers were there, curious about that, he started to search through the systems that were there before he found that they were heading into The city with Natasha Romanova, that had made the machine curious, but right now, he needed to find Carmilla.

Accessing the files that they had on AIM, he searched for any files related to Carmilla Black and found one, one that was related to Monica Rappacinni, a high ranking member of AIM that had been in charge with a cell, one that was focused on ecological terrorism and producing bio–enhanced individuals that had all disappeared, all but Carmilla Black who had been homeless.

Seeing Carmilla, he recalled the doses of Thallium that was near her, so he started to search for the same chemicals that were there before he saw that there was something, something that made him start to move, walking right about now as he noticed that The Avengers were approaching the area as well, making Ultron move so that he would be able to assist them and save Carmilla.

Manhattan, NYC

Ultron was flying when he saw that THe HYDRA fighters were attacking AIM spheres, seeing them, The Machine started to scan the one that had the right radiation before seeing that one of the three had it, “Ultron! What are you doing?!” Hank had asked of The Synthezoid, “I am assisting Carmilla Black who has been abducted by The AIM Scientist Supreme, Monica Rappacini.” he said.

“What?” Hank asked as the Synthezoid  had approached it, “I will be tracking the vessel and will be unable to assist you with your assignment.” he stated before ending the communication, leaving them confused while he went to land on the vessel, “Please, release Carmilla Black.” Ultron said towards the individual, “You have Thirty Seconds to comply.” he told them.

______________________________________________________________________

Rappaccini Shuttle, Manhattan

“Twenty Nine… Twenty Eight…” The machine said to them as Carmilla who had been restrained looked towards Monica Rappaccini, “Ultron.” she whispered, making the woman look towards her, “You know this machine?” she asked, making Carmilla flinch, “Twenty…” He continued towards her, making Carmilla speak now, “He helped me out at the street.” she told her.

That made Monica glare, “Eleven…” The robot continued, “Up the shields!” she shouted, “Five… Four… Three… Two… One…” It went and hearing that, the group had all been at the ready right now and as they did so, there was a crash as they saw how the machine in question tore into the vehicle, “Please, release Carmilla Black.” The Robot said towards Monica.

But she wasn’t scared at all, “Take it down!” she ordered, making them go to open fire on the machine, but Ultron went to move forward right now and as he did so, Ultron had landed besides the captive, powering up his mouth and then firing upon the restraints, he was able to remove the binding that secured her left arm, allowing it to glow before something grabbed him.

Ultron was thrown into another wall now, looking, Ultron saw that there was a blonde young man who was wearing an AIM uniform, “Adam, kill him.” Monica had ordered, hearing that, the boy grinned, his hands starting to break apart before reforming into large blasters, “You got it, boss!” He went, opening fire upon The Synthezoid who took the brunt.

He did a scan and discovered that there was a android individual that was before him, but there was in fact no protection at all from an EMP or from any sort of hacking, flying forward, Ultron went to crashed into the person, his hands attaching to his brain now so that he could begin to interfere, adding every bit of therapy and empathy that he had inside there to add to his mind.

That made Adam start to writhe in pain before he had fired upon the Synthezoid in the face, tearing half of it apart as Ultron was blown back, the laser inside his mouth was still functional, but he was down an eye, taking a breath, the girl he was trying to assist had freed herself now, looking around before she saw his damage, “ULTRON!” She shouted towards him.

That made the group look towards the Synthezoid and as they started to fight once more, Adam had formed a chainsaw now, the Android had gotten ready to fight when Carmilla had made her army turn completely green now before she went to fire a wave of energy towards him, seeing that, Ultron had grabbed Adam and the two got out of the way as she hit the systems that were there.

Watching how they had moved, the two of them realized that there was a problem that had hit the controls now and it was making the group start to get up now and as they had done so, the trio had already escaped right about now as  the vessel started to crash now, making Ultron a bit relieved by that when they saw that there was something that hit them now.

That made the group look towards each other with some surprise and some worry when they saw that there was an AIM vessel that was approaching them as well as a HYDRA vessel too which made Ultron get up, “My turn, I’ll make sure that they can’t be dealt with.” The individual had said towards him in his mind and as he did so, Ultron had started to lose his cohesion before he lost control.

______________________________________________________________________

Ultron’s Software

Ultron had found himself in the remains of his city, the prison that he had developed for the virus had been broken free, the buildings had been destroyed and there appeared to be a red storm that was tearing things apart there, so Ultron had went and started to multiply like before, each of them was looking through everything right about now and that was when the lightning had attacked.

Looking over everything right about now, the units were being destroyed, but Ultron–5 was not foolish as he started to get up and looking towards everything that was there before The Ultron army had flown upwards, attacking in formations now as they went to attack all of them when they had heard something, there was a  kraken in the subconsciousness now.

They saw that there was images of the being that had taken over had been fighting, and it seemed that he was being quite feral right about now as the group had looked towards everything right about now before the machine had continued to fight against the monster to regain control right about now so that they would be able to save everyone right about now.

______________________________________________________________________

Manhattan, NYC

The machine had been firing at all the weak points that he had been scanning, looking over everything right about now and as he had said towards him right about now and it was making the watchers get a bit worried right about now before he started to get up and towards the monsters, flying towards and as he did so, the creature had punched through a HYDRA fighter and interfaced with it.

He smiled, now, laughing towards it all before he started to take everything now, as he did so, Carmilla and Adam looked towards everything that he was doing, the fighter of HYDRA and AIM starting to wirelessly link and start to eject the their pilots, “Bon VOYAGE!” The machine shouted and hearing that the two of them were a bit shocked by that as he started to make them crash.

As he did so, a message came into Adam’s head now, “Run. That is not me.” The message said and hearing that, he looked towards Carmilla, “I think we should run.” he said and hearing that, girl nodded, as they both went to leave, they heard him laughing and hoped that he would at least be safe, but they had no idea what was going to happen with him later right now when another message was sent.

“This is the address to Jane Foster, she will be able to assist you.” It said again, they had looked towards each other and then towards Ultron who had been making them start to break apart and decided to trust him, “Thanks, Ultron.” she said out loud now before she started to follow after Adam now and as they started to move away, they hoped that he would be fine.

______________________________________________________________________

The S.H.I.E.L.D. officers had all been working, making sure that the vessels that he had been dealing with were all disabled and the pilots that he had tagged were all being restrained right nw and as he looked at it all, the agents watching him as he sat on the pile, “Oi! Where’s Monica Rappacini?” he asked, making the group look towards each other before they eventually nodded.

“The terrorist known as Monica Rappacini had eluded us, we’re tracking her down now.” he said and hearing that Ultron waved them off, “Whatever, see you later.” he said and hearing that, the agents had been looking towards him with some confusion, “What exactly did Hank Pym do to make that thing like that?” he asked, making the machine turn.

“He didn’t make me the way I am, I made myself the way I am.” he said with a smirk now, or at least what a machine could do to smirk now as the creature started to fly upwards now and as he did so, the machine started to spin around with a bit of freedom at the moment and was having some fun as the machine started to think on what he would do now.

______________________________________________________________________

Ultron’s Software

The Synthezoid looked towards the screen that was set up by the virus that had been showing them everything, it had made the restrained machine to fight free now but as he had tried to do so, the vines had started to get tighter and tighter towards the machine now and as the scene showed him going to the mansion, he had tried to go ahead and attempt to free himself.

But the virus had no mercy, " Oh, come on now, baby.” He had said towards Ultron, “I’m not THAT direct, I like to do a little dance beforehand.” The Virus had explained and hearing that, he started to struggle a bit harder when there was immobilization in his limbs now, making him lower his helm, but the screen stayed within his view now, torturing him right about now.

“You’re not sleeping, I wanna show you how we do it in 2099.” The virus had said and hearing that, Ultron wished that he had information from back from his fight with Kang now and as he looked towards the images, he started to get worried, already trying to fight as he tried to send out micro–drones out from him to try and eat away at his hold for now.

______________________________________________________________________

Avenger’s Mansion, NYC

The virus had walked into the mansion and as he did so, The Avengers had looked towards him, “Hey there, Soundwave, where’ve you been?” Henry had asked of him, “Oh, assisting Carmilla Black with her kidnapping.” he said, making them glad he was able to do something like that on his own while Henry was confused, “Did you just say ‘Oh’?” he had asked.

Hearing that, the machine paused before he nodded, “Affirmative. I had been working on making my tone more… human.” he said towards them, making Henry smile, “That’s great to hear, Ultron, how about you head down and I can review everything?” he said towards him, “Roger, daddio.” he said towards him now, making even Janet confused, “Roger, daddio? I think you might wanna cut back.”

“Understood, Miss Van Dyne.” he said towards her before walking, The Synthezoid’s body moving while The Virus had started to scan through everything that was there and already started to send some data towards some villain teams to keep them distracted while he had begun to plan on how he was going to take them all down and acquire a better body for himself.

Chapter Text

Hank Pym's Lab, Avengers Mansion

He had watched everything as one of his units that he had moved went to fight, The Serpent Society had hostages, Iron Man was joking like usual, and it was making the virus hope that there would be victory for him when he saw that there was a change, that Ant–Man had interfered, good, he might die and that meant that he would be free of him at least as he tried to calm them down.

He tried talking to them, but as he watched, the Serpent had revealed that the Madame Viper was given, making Cobra angry now, upset more and more before he and the others attacked, Hawkeye was hurt now as the Society had attacked them, the muscle throwing a train at Thor who he had attacked now as Clint was taken away, Steve dealing with one while Iron Man faced the cyborg.

Things were looking… middle at the moment as Janet Van Dyne was hurt, that was when Ant–Man had become The Giant–Man, punching the enemy into a wall now before he turned towards Cobra now, using his helmet to have a swarm of ants to attack the Serpent Society, making them run now and as they did so, he sighed, hoping that The Super–Apes were doing better against them.

______________________________________________________________________

He had pretended to be Ultron right now, watching as his hosts creator had worked right now, “I just can’t do it anymore.” Hank said as he looked at the Ant–Man helmet, “I never wanted this, this life of violence.” He said as he was getting more and more annoyed with the man, “Fighting day in and day out.” He continued now as he put the helmet down now.

“There has to be a better solution than this.” Hank said towards him now, “Humanity has come so far, but more and more it seems like we’re failing as a species.” Hank said which he had smiled internally at, “Like we’re wasting all of our promise.” The scientist said towards him so he decided to play Ultron now, “Humanity is inherently flawed.” he told Hank said towards him.

“Observation and analysis suggest that humanity is encoded with chaotic and violent tendencies that cannot be overcome.” He told Hank who went to pat him on the shoulder, “You might be right, Ultron.” he said towards the virus, “This isn’t exactly the peace and order that I programmed you to try and achieve, is it?” he asked and hearing that, the synthezoid spoke again.

“No. It is not.” he said before a noise came now, “ You give me fever. When you kiss me. Fever when you hold me tight. Fever. In the mornin'. A fever all through the night.” It played again, “At least your glitch has good taste.” Hank Pym said, trying to make a joke which Ultron didn’t respond to, he had no preference so there was no way for him to judge on the matter.

“Okay, let’s see if we can get it out today.” Hank said as he had typed, as The Creator did, Ultron noticed that there was an issue with his Baxter Building job, they had been defeated by Black Panther and The Super Apes, so he went and decided to get to some of his more active options when they saw how Wasp started to come in now and approach them both, “Hank? Um…” she started now.

But he continued to type, “I came to tell you that you can’t quit.” she said towards the human male “But I already did.” he said, not stopping his typing, “Well, un–quit.” she said, moving past Ultron now, “I’d hoped the Avengers would be better than SHIELD, but they’re not.” he told the woman, “They’re just part of a system of violence. And I don't wanna be a part of that system anymore.” he explained.

Hearing that, she had knelt down towards him now, “But what about all the good we’ve done?” Janet asked of him now, “We’ve saved the world, Hank.” Janet told him, “A lot.” she went as he went and shook her off, “I’m not arguing that.” Hank promised towards her, “I just wanna find a better way.” Hank said towards them, making ‘Ultron’ look towards them now with some curiosity now.

“Hank, The Avengers are–” Janet started, unsure how to say this, “The Avengers–” she started to say as she noticed Ultron watching them, “Hey, is Ultron okay? He’s looking at me in a weird way.” she told him, used to his eyes and mouth being blue, not red, “Will you please stop playing with him and talk to me?” she asked of him as he saw the code looking a bit off.

“The whole point of Ultron was to help rehabilitate supervillains.” Hank told her, “I joined the Avengers to help people, including the villains.” he added now before turning towards her, “But I think you LIKE fighting them.” Hank said towards her, “You actually enjoy all of this madness.” he went with a hurt expression at such a thought, she was hurt by that, looking down now, “The Avengers mean a lot to me.” she said.

“I thought they meant something to you too.” Janet said towards him now, turning to leave now as Ultron and Hank watched her leave, “You may be the only one that gets it.” Hank said towards Ultron now, making him turn towards him now, making Hank confused as his eyes glowed brighter before blasting him, making him groan in pain now, taking him down and calling back Janet.

She had rushed in and saw him down, “No.” she went, shrinking to check on Hank right now while Ultron went to stand above her, making the woman flinch as he reached towards her, “NO!” She shouted and hearing that, his optics started to flicker blue now, his hand flinching but still going forward now as she started to wonder what was going on with the machine taking her now.

______________________________________________________________________

Avenger’s Mansion, NYC

The Avengers was trying to find him now when he saw that Iron Man had connected directly, giving him the chance to shut down his onboard AI, “JARVIS, I need an update on–” He started, so he decided to tease with a bit more static, watching as Iron Man turned towards Thor now, “Thor, I think something is–” He started, so he went ahead and shut everything down, “Something is what?” Thor asked him.

“Iron Man, are you well?” The Asgardian had asked, approaching, seeing that, he smirked as Thor waved in front of the face plate, “Did you armor fail you? Perhaps you need–” He started to remove the helmet, so he went ahead and fired the unibeam towards him now and knocking the warrior back as he cycled towards the Quinjets now where the SUper Apes were being loaded now.

As Black Panther and Hulk did so, the Gamma Mutate had spoken, “Cheap lights.” He said in annoyance, “No. We are under attack.” The Black Panther had said and hearing that, He had started to act up now, “Nobody’s dumb enough to attack us here.” Hulk said which made him chuckle towards that, “Not after what we did to the Masters of Evil.” He said, walking up and so he acted.

The Quinjet closing up now and powering up to liftoff, going to plummet now and leave The Panther alone as the OTHER Quinjet there opened fire on his retreating form, with him running and Hulk now in the air, spinning, he had proceeded to look towards the training room where Captain America, Hawkeye and Jane Foster were right now, “Ugh. I’ve treated children more mature than you.” Jane said now.

“Now, take off your shirt or whatever that is.” Jane had told the man, “Just let her examine you, Clint.” Captain America had said towards him now as Hawkeye had scoffed towards them, “What are you two, the team den mothers?” He asked of them now so he readied the turrets, “Maybe Thor needs a nurse, but I don’t.” He snarked towards them now when Captain saw him sealing the doors.

He had rushed towards them, but it was too late, they had been sealed in now and that made smirk, “We’re in trouble.” He warned, “That’s right, you are. ‘Cause I’m not–” “Training Room safety protocols disengaged.” He said towards them over the PA, “That wasn’t JARVIS.” Hawkeye said towards them while the Jane got worried, “What was that about safety?” She asked as the weapons engaged.

He proceeded to fire upon them, releasing blaster fire and concussive explosives towards the group, Captain America taking and shielding the woman from one of the missiles while Hawkeye fell off of one of the pillars he proceeded to raise up into the air, the blasters going off as he unsheathed his bow, but they were all distracted, so he went ahead and got to work on his captive now.

Containment Cell, Avengers Mansion

Wasp woke up with a startled expression, “Hank!” She shouted out before seeing that she was in a bubble, “Hey!” She shouted out loud now as he began his descent, “Hey! Somebody help.” The hero shouted out as He had reached the platform, connected to wires in his back, “No one can help you now, sweetcheeks.” He said towards her, “Sweetcheeks?” she asked confused before banging on the bubble.

“What did you do to Hank, Ultron?” she asked of him in anger, “If you hurt him–!” And as she started to threaten, he drew his blaster, charging it up, so she flinched, trying to cover herself, but nothing happened at all except his eyes flickering blue for a moment, lowering his blaster, he walked closer and tried again, again she had flinched, trying again, but nothing had happened, confusing Janet, “What are you doing?”

But he seemed annoyed, “Robot. Ultron.” Janet said, deciding to try his programming, “I order you to let me go. And then shut down.” Janet told him as she saw there were drones around, all broken apart and seeming dissected for studying, but he just headed to a chair now, “Answer me. Why are you doing this?” Janet asked of him, “You were supposed to help us. You DID help us against Malekith!”

“Yeah, that’s what Ultron is supposed to do, not me.” He said as holos appeared around his head and he started to work with them, “Do you remember when Ultron was logged into Kangs warship?” he asked the now confused woman, “Well, I piggybacked into his software since then and have been trying to take control,” The now NOT Ultron said towards her as he gave another look.

“You can call me Fever, The sentient Virus of Earth–928.” he said with what looked to be a grin to her as he picked up a head, “And I’ve been struggling to control him completely if it weren’t for his programming being as resistant as it was.” he muttered, annoyed now, “He’s not letting me eliminate you. But don’t worry I’ll correct the flaw.” he promised, scaring her and making his eyes flicker now.

______________________________________________________________________

Avenger’s Mansion, NYC

Up above, he could see how Iron Man had been firing at a ducking Thor before he went and flown upwards now, blocking another blast as he got ready to electrocute him, “JARVIS, respond. Open faceplate.” The Stark ordered now, “I need audio now.” He pleaded now as Thor started to swing the hammer now, “Thor. THor, I can’t stop it.” Tony said as it was thrown, slamming him onto the ground now.

“I do not know why you have turned on me, but–” He started as the control came back to him, “Thor, something’s taken control of the armor.” Tony said to him as he readied to swing, “You have to get me out–” He started before going to fire again, once he did so, missing, Thor went and grabbed him, going and starting to throw him upwards, grabbing him as he crashed through the ceiling.

Out of range, he checked the hangar bay now as Black Panther slashed through a wing, making it crash and making an explosion that his cameras had seen now as the tower had been at the work, firing towards Hawkeye and Captain America now, the latter defending Jane FOster, “Can’t you shut it down?” She pleaded now, “Hawkeye, there has to be a gear box or something controlling all this.” The man said.

He zoomed in now and as he did so, Hawkeye had noticed and went to aim and fire now, hitting the camera now and reveal the engine which Captain America had thrown his shield towards, bounding on the walls before finally it hit, shutting the systems down long enough as the tower descended and he went to gather his shield, “You arm seems fine, Hawkeye.” Jane said, noticing the hero.

He looked towards the door then which was when a triangle had been cut open there, BLack Panther kicking the triangle out before the man had looked out towards them, “The Mansion’s computer systems have been compromised.” He warned towards them, “No kidding.” Hawkeye said in annoyance towards that now with everything right now as Ultron checked the weather fluctuations now.

There were strong electrical bursts now, making the machine realize that Thor had found a way to escape, which annoyed him, “No one in the training room, no one in the hangar, I’m disconnected from Iron Man… What the Shock?!” he snapped out loud, “Sounds bad, doesn’t it?” Wasp said to Fever, “I’m guessing you’ve got about a minute before the Avengers bust in here and send you to the trash file.”

But he wasn’t concerned, “Radioactive Man, The Serpent Society, Red Ghost and his Apes… your Avengers were all distracted by them easily while I keep trying to get pass Ultron’s software so I can finally kill you all.” he explained, “While he’s stalwart against destroying you, I can still remove them from the board.” he threatened to her as The Avengers rushed in now, seeing the duo.

Thor leapt upwards to attack him, “Hat at thee, machine!” Thor shouted in rage, “Thor, wait! That’s not Ultron!” Wasp shouted as Fever released a blast towards The Asgardian, full power that seemed to vaporize everything but his hammer which fell to the ground.|Hank gasped awake, holding his chest as Tony woke him up, “What happened?” he asked the concerned inventor.

“There’s no time to explain.” Stark explained towards him, “You have to tell me how to stop Ultron.” The inventor explained, making Hank recall what happened, “Ultron. He attacked me.” Hank said, recalling it all, “It wasn’t some virus calling itself Fever did, he put you in some kind of coma.” he said, Hank trying to recall what he said exactly, “The Encephalo–Ray. It’s a non–lethal weapon I installed.”

“Some of Untron’s safety protocols must still be working.” Hank explained, “I don’t think so.” Tony told him, “Thor… he’s gone.” The inventor said, bowing his head and shocking Hank at the statement before Hank took a moment, “Where’s Fever?” he asked him, ready to take Ultron down.|THe shield of Cap was thrown forward with arrows, but Fever had fired a blast, destroying the arrows.

Dodging the shield, The Black Panther leapt towards Fever, but he grabbed the man with ease, electrocuting his brain, “You have no idea how good this feels.” Fever said towards him as Cap threw the shield towards the side of his head, making him drop The Black Panther and look to the man out of time, “You’ll pay for what you’ve done, Robot.” he said which made Fever start to glitch.

“Captain America.” Ultron said, “Please exterminate this form before–” “Shut up!” Fever shouted as he blasted Captain America, knocking him against the wall, Black Panther was starting to get up while Hawkeye aimed his bow, but the virus had no issues turning and firing at him and The Panther, “Ultron’s been watching you, and thanks to him, I know EVERY weakness you possess.” He warned.

Fever chuckled towards that, “I know EVERYTHING about you.” The villain said with a cackle right about now, “You don;t know everything about me, parasite.” Janet said out loud, making Fever turn to look, he was about to fire the now expanding woman but Ultron stopped him, made  him glitch long enough for the now Giant–Woman to smash him down with her fist.

She seemed to have a headache, shrinking while Panther and Hawkeye approached with caution, at least until Fever tore off the rubble and then turned to fire a blast towards the duo, hitting Hawkeye, so Fever marched over to him, at least until Janet spoke, “Stop it.” The woman said towards them, “Ultron, this isn’t what Hank would want.” she said, trying to speak to the AI in there.

“He programmed Ultron so he couldn’t hurt me. Doesn’t that tell you anything?” she asked of Fever, “It tells me that he’s a simp that won’t take the step to get what he wants.” The man explained, “You ARE correct though. Ultron won’t let me hurt you. Yet.” Fever said, making her a bit concerned, “But I don’t need to HURT you to STOP you.” the creature said to her as Hawkeye approached.

Fever finally unlocked one of the weapons, some simulation of heat vision that he used to fire at both, the duo splitting up at the sight now, seeing a chance, Captain America went to throw his shield, but Fever saw it, grabbing the item with ease, he scanned the item in question with curiosity, “The only way to get what I want is by getting rid of everyone in my way.” he explained.

“A few more tweaks of Ultron’s programming and I will be unstoppable.” he said, cackling at the thought now, he went to fire at Captain America which was when Black Panther slashed, making the man drop the shield and go to grab at  him just as Hawkeye fired an arrow towards him, with ease, he caught the weapon, but it exploded, making a but of smoke that gave him the cover to shoot at Hawkeye.

Meanwhile Cap got his shield so he focused on the man, firing one, two and three of them towards the man before eventually the Super Soldier had dropped his shield, the hero glared towards him, at the ready to fight once more, so Fever decided to use the way, thinking that he should keep him alive for that little cult that was born around him, “No!” Janet shouted, going to cover the man with her body.

Seeing that, Ultron overtook him and made him lower his blaster, “I won’t let you hurt anyone else.” Janet told him, “You can’t stop me.” Fever said as he approached, glitching and hesitating as he did so, “You will not harm any Avengers–” “Shut up!” Ultron snapped, the two of them grabbing his helm, fighting each other, “Ultron!” a voice shouted, making Janet and the two personalities look to the entrance.

Janet was smiling as Ant–Man spoke, “Enable shutdown sequence, code word ‘synthezoid’.” he ordered, “Shutdown code acce–” The Synthezoid said, trying to get him down and the group safe, “Shutdown code rejected. Run.” Ultron warned towards them, “Do you seriously think that I can’t say no unlike your little Tin Man?” Fever asked of the man as he approached, “I am not your toy, I’m stronger than that, than you.”

“Why are you doing this? Why did you take over Ultron?” He asked the virus, “Because I want my world to be born, a version of my world that I can control.” he told him, “Because unlike you, I have the stones to do as much.” he told Hank who was cautious, “You 21st Century idiots lack the strength to get what you want.” he said, “But I don’t, I can take what I want, I can make my own paradise unlike you.”

“Ultron… Fever–” “Hank, please.” Janet said towards him, “There’s no talking this out, not after what that thing in Ultron did to Thor.” Wasp said towards him, “I agree, I’m sorry, Ultron.” Ant–Man said to the bot, Fever was about to attack, his eyes glitching and Ultron attempting to stop him until there was a blast through a wall, hitting The Synthezoid and knocking him the the ground.

“No computers in this armor for you to take over, you piece of malware.” Tony Stark in the original Iron Man armor said towards him, Fever stood up, ready to attack as Tony released the Unibeam, but the Synthezoid went to fly upwards, only for Ant–Man to grow into Giant–Man and punch the machine into a wall, reacting to this, Fever had blasted his fist, burning it and knocking the GIant backwards.

He was down and it looked like Fever would win, at least until he heard a roaring, making Fever look upwards and see that The Hulk had fallen through the ceiling, almost hitting Giant–Man who moved out of the way, “Give me something to smash.” The Gamma Mutate had snarled in fury, making Hank point to the infected machine, “U;tron’s power core is in his chest.” Hank told him.

“Tear him apart and rip it out.” The Scientist told the man, making Ultron look to him, “Please proceed, the Virus is dominating my controls and–” but Hulk had all he needed to hear as he leapt forth, punching a hole where Fever once was, the bot fired another blast to Hulk who just kept approaching until he grabbed the shoulders of Fever, “Wait–!” he started, but it was too late.

He had been torn in half and tossed to the ground, Fever stood up and as he did so, Hank shrunk down and plunged his fist into the cavity, grunting as he pulled out the power core, as he did so, Ultron’s eyes turned blue, “Thank… you… fa…” he started to say before falling onto his back, offline and dead as the rest of the team approached, “I don’t understand how this could have happened.” he told them.

“It wasn’t Ultron, it was a virus from Damocles…” Janet said towards him which gave Tony a thought, “Go through the remaining shells and programming.” Iron Man told the man, “We need to destroy everything that’s infected with Fever.” he warned, “Everything.” the man said, all of them not wanting it to happen again, “Of course.” Hank said, “But it doesn’t change anything.” he said, walking to the door, taking the hood off.

“Thor is gone, and Fever destroyed Ultron to do it. This is all my fault.” The Scientist said towards them before going to head into his lab so that he could do as much, “Ultron… he didn’t stop trying to save us.” she said towards them, making Hulk look back towards the destroyed shell, “I liked Toy, shame.” The Gamma Mutate said as they all hoped that his death wouldn’t be in vain.

Hank Pym's Lab, Avengers Mansion

Hank had been tossing his discs into the incinerator, looking them over, not sure if he was safe or not, but he knew was that he needed to get rid of everything that was in the mansion, sitting down, he held his hand in his hands, thinking of the last thing that Ultron said towards him, “Thank… you… fa…” He still thought of him as his father, even after all of these changes and upgrades.

Grieving for his mechanical son, he didn’t hear as the head of Ultron–5 had come online with one red eye and one blue eye, “Upload complete.” it said out loud before it shut down, Ultron–5 was dead, there was no other way around it, but as he had fallen down, the life of Ultron–6 had begun, he fought, trying to get the virus off of him as he tried to find a host.

But Fever had taken advantage, he was able to dominate the mind for now as Ultron–6 wanted to free himself before trying to send a message, warning as many of the team as possible as the pair of minds were propelled through space and the internet, knowing that the moment that they were able to activate the body, he knew that it was going to be nothing but war.

Chapter Text

Command, The Helicarrier

“Director Hill, we’ve got a problem.” Sitwell said towards the woman who was seeing everything happen, “We’re losing all systems. Something is–” he began when the screens started to flash red, making all of them worried by the site as they noticed how the central screen had changed, revealing the head of one of the Ultron Drones that helped against Kang, “Hi there! This is Fever with my host, Ultron–6!” They said.

“I’m a sentient virus that Kang decided to… leave behind here, and Sixer is a cybernetic intelligence that Ant–Man made!” The virus continued as they all got worried, “His imperative is to bring peace and order on this mudball, so I’m going to help him fulfill his imperative.” Fever said before beginning to glare, “How what do you say? How about a biblical apocalypse for the ages.”

“This can’t be happening.” Janet said as they looked down upon the helmet and hammer of their friend, “I can’t believe he’s gone, that Thor is gone.” Janet said towards them, “Should… Should we move his hammer?” Janet asked of them, “Hulk, maybe–” “Can't move it. Can’t even pick it up.” The Gamma mutate explained to them, “Wh– Why not?” Janet asked of him.

“Because I’m not Thor.” Hulk explained as they looked down at the inscription on the hammer, “How could this happen?” Janet asked, getting more upset by that, “I can’t believe that Hank–” “What, you can’t believe that your boyfriend’s pet robot went nuts?” Clint asked of her, “That it put Captain America in the hospital and almost took down the whole team?” He asked of her in anger.

“We were lucky… Thor wasn’t.” The Archer told her, “That wasn’t Toy.” Hulk said, “He tried to fight that Fever thing.” The Gamma Mutate said, Ultron may not have officially been an Avenger, but he didn’t do what Clint was saying, he tried to help them, and it made the ones that still believed in him hope that Hank would at least bring back the machine free of Fever.

______________________________________________________________________

Hank Pym’s Lab, Avengers Mansion

Henry Pym dumped the remains of Ultron–5 that he disintegrated, “I can’t believe this is happening.” Hank said with depression, “How many others are there? How many can Fever infect?” Tony asked of him, “This is the last of them.” Hank promised towards him, “That’s every infected Ultron component that was at the Mansion.” Hank explained towards the man with concern.

“Forty–Two is clear, so is the lab at Grayburn College where his Source Code is.” he said, walking over, “I just don’t understand how Fever had taken over Ultron.” he said, “Ultron had tried to stop him, but Fever corrupted his directive, he was supposed to be a force for peace, for order.” The man he explained towards The Stark, “Hank, this isn’t your fault. I was blind to what was happening too.” Tony told him.

“I pushed using Ultron as a weapon from the start. I made his code open to interference.” He explained with concern, “The work we did at Stark Industries before you left–” “Ultron was my responsibility.” Hank said to him, “I’m the one who allowed Fever to happen.” Ant–Man explained to him, “I just– I just don’t understand how Fever was able to overtake Ultron like that.”

“Make him kill Thor.” The Scientist added, upset by the fact as Tony opened up the files on his schematics, “There was a massive series of patches in Ultron’s CPU thanks to that ‘tumor’.” Tony explained, “I’m trying to pinpoint if Fever is still in his code, “Tony, I mapped human brain patterns onto a machine.” Hank explained towards him, “Fever could be hiding ANYWHERE in Ultrons code.” he explained.

“It’s a completely new–” he started to say before taking a breath, “We need to scan my brain patterns, I used my own brain waves as a template, they can help us find the differences on what had happened to Ultron thanks to Fever.” he said, “My mind might be able to help him be safe…” The scientist told him, “The first sign of deviation came after Kang’s invasion, so we need to start there.” Tony told him.

“If we can see where the deviations start with Ultron–5 once he got The Fever tumor, maybe–” he started to say, checking the files before noticing something, “Wait. This isn’t Ultron–5.” he explained, surprising Hank, “What?” he asked, confused, “This body, it’s not the original one.” he told Hank, “The programming has been uploaded into it according to this data stream.” he warned, picking up the head.

“Fever’s been transferring Ultron and himself into new bodies over and over.” he said before checking the lates upload, “The last time he did it to Ultron was an hour ago.” Tony warned, “That’s after we destroyed 5.” Hank said, “Yeah, so where did he transfer Ultron to?” Tony asked just as everything turned red and making them confused as the head spoke, “Warning. IronTech active.”

The Vault, Stark Tower

Fever had found the body, surrounded by weaponry as he and Ultron–6 had entered it, there was a struggle, the two of them had been fighting before eventually, Fever took the left optic, making it red while Ultron–6 took the right and made it blew, both of them were on the move and starting to blast their way out of the building so that they could see through the next half of Fever’s plan.

Avengers Mansion, NYC

BThe Avengers had been walking down the hall into the control room when they heard the sound of that song that Fever enjoyed, making them tense as all of a sudden the wall had crashed through, revealing The Hulkbuster, the large machine hitting both Hulk and Black Panther, knocking the two back while Wasp and Hawkeye dodged, the archer firing a arrow only for it to be caught by an invisible hand.

That confused him as the servo revealed that there was Iron Man’s stealth armor, “Stark! What are you–” Hawkeye said towards the machine when there was another crash, making them look to see that it was The Model II that tried to blast towards them with the Silver Centurion armor and the classic armor, “That’s a lot of Iron Mans.” Wasp said towards the others, concerned.

“You idiots tried to wipe me out.” Fever told them wearing his modern armor, “Ultron?” Hawkeye asked, “Fever.” The virus reminded of them with what looked almost like a smirk, “And you’re going to wish that you succeeded.” The Virus said towards them as the Iron Man suits had all raised their gauntlets up and proceeded to charge up for their next attack against them.

The Bridge, Helicarrier

“I want all systems back up right now.” Maria ordered of them, “And Sitwell… get me Tony Stark.” Maria told them before there was a large explosion, making Maria and some others lift their weapons, her pistol aimed towards the bot that was approaching, it was Ultron who lifted his palms and fired towards every agent that tried to attack the Synthezoid, walking over as a barrage hit his back.

But he was not perturbed as Fever had turned and released a blast from his maw, blasting through them all easily while The Director went and opened fire still, making The Synthezoid annoyed as he went and started to approach, not a single shot hurting as she backed away, at least until the Virus had blasted her pistol out of her hand, “Maria Christina Hill, Director of S.H.I.E.L.D.” Fever told them.

“As such, you are in possession of information not contained in any database on the planet.” The Future Mind told her, “The Security codes for the worldwide S.H.I.E.L.D. arsenal.”  he said towards her, “And you think I’m gonna hand them over to you?” Maria snapped to the machine, “No, no, no. I’m not asking you.” Fever told her with a glare as he got to work on interrogation.

______________________________________________________________________

Avengers Mansion, NYC

Hulk had roared out towards The Hulkbuster which had swiped at him while Janet circled the classic Iron Man suit, releasing a barrage towards the machine before flying off, so The Iron Man Suit had went and started to fly towards the woman, she had dodged a couple of shots before hitting him straight in the face, making it a bit sloppy towards the Armor before flying off, the Suit close behind.

Meanwhile CLint had leapt away from the Model II that had been firing at him, falling from the wall, he aimed towards it, firing a blast into the palm repulsor, eye and chest repulsor before he landed, that was one suit down while The Black Panther had leapt over The Silver Centurion so that she could hit the Stealth Armor, making it fall down, he readied to attack the suit before it faded away.

The Silver Centurion had risen up and fired, making T’Challa leap away from the attack while Hulkbuster pinned Hulk, only for a moment before Hulk tore himself out of the attack and then going to throw a fist towards the suit which had knocked the suit away that he chased, seeing that, Hawkeye went and fired at the back of another suit, making two of them turn towards the archer.

But The Stealth Suit was behind him and ready to fire it, “Hawkeye.” Janet shouted out towards him, “Whoa!” The man said, avoiding the Stealth Suit before turning and ready to open fire upon the Suit but it ran off, already fading away while Black Panther had switched the optics of the mask to see where the suit was, reacting to that, he went and used the two nearby suits to vault towards it.

Leaping over Hawkeyes head, he hit and knocked down the Stealth Suit, good, and thanks to Janet keeping another distracted, “Tony, it’s Fever. He’s taken over your armor, all of them.” Janet said over the comms with worry.|Tony had been at work in the lab while Hank sheathed his head in his helmet, “I’m coming with you.” Hank said as Tony put on his helmet, “No, stay here.” Tony told him.

“Work with Ultron to wipe Fever out. We have to make sure–” he started to say before Hank had read the comms, “Wait, the S.H.I.E.L.D. helicarrier is under attack.” Hank said to him, “It’s Fever.” Ant Man said as they looked at the head, “Why would Fever attack S.H.I.E.L.D.?” Tony ask and hearing that, Ultron spoke, “My programming, he is utilizing it to bring forth his version of the year 2099, where he is in control.”

“S.H.I.E.L.D. has the ability to do that.” Hank said with realization and concern towards that as Ultron spoke, “I am attempting to stop him, but he is getting closer and closer to solving the problem manually.” The Synthezoid had warned towards them, “Then we better get to work.” Tony said as they went on the move.|Hulk had been beating at the claw of The Hulkbuster as it lifted him up with the other.

Hulk had been thrown onto the ground and then The Hulkbuster went and blasted a concentrated beam towards him, keeping the Gamma Mutate beaten down at least until Janet came in, firing, distracting the suit that Hulk charged forth, lifting the IronTech up into the air, causing rubble to crash towards two of the IronTech suits that were facing Black Panther.

But Hulk didn’t care as he started to beat down onto the suit, them crashing down onto the ground, Hulk was beating and beating while Black Panther went and ran away, the two suits had been flying towards them, opening fire but T’CHalla had flipped upwards and got behind the machines, so he threw some energized blades towards both of them, hitting the Silver Centurion.

But the other was still up and still pursuing T’Challa as another suit of armor had picked up Hawkeye by the collar, “Guys? A little help here.” The archer had asked of them, the repulsor aimed towards his head, but The Model I suit that started The IronTech had crashed through and tackled the suit, pining it to the wall, he then threw it headfirst into the ground and back to the wall.

“Get out of my suit, Fever.” Tony had ordered, “This piece of junk’s obsolete, but it’ll do.” Fever told him, “So why don’t you just accept your fate and find a nice corner to die in?” he asked of Tony, making him angry, “Yeah, I don’t think so.” Tony said before blasting the head, taking it down so he turned towards the others there, the two circling T’CHalla right about now.

So Tony fired, knocking one of the suits in The Silver Centurion as the Avengers charged, Tony fired a blast towards one into a wall while Hawkeye had aimed and fired, exploding onto a suit as it gave T’Challa a chance to get up, Hawkeye helping him up, “What’s happening? I thought Fever got destroyed when Ultron was.” Wasp told them, “Yeah, so did I.” Tony said towards her.

“The Real Fever is attacking the S.H.I.E.L.D. helicarrier right now.” The Armored Avenger told her, “We’ve got to stop him.” Tony declared, “Stop him from doing what?” Hawkeye asked as he backed up, bow at the ready, “What does he even want?” The Archer asked, “He wants to make our Earth like the one he’s from, one HIS terms.” Tony warned towards him, “Oh.” Hawkeye said.

“You go. Take Hulk and Wasp.” Hawkeye said towards them, “Panther and I will finish up here.” The man said towards them, surprising Iron Man, “Clint…” “Go.” He snapped at the group, making them nod towards that as they went to leave through the hole, leaving the two of them surrounded by the Armor, making T’CHalla give a look, “Yeah, I know. I’m dumb.” Clint admitted.

The Bridge, Helicarrier

Maria had thrown two punches, but Fever had grabbed at her hands, almost crushing them as Maria started to kneel down in pain, “Never. I’ll never tell you.” The S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent had told him, “Like I said, I don’t need your permission.” Fever had snapped towards her as a device opened in his torso, “Ultron learned how to scan and replicate a human mind in his first iteration.” Ultron explained.

The three wires that had a multitude of tendrils, attached to her head, making the woman scream in pain as he downloaded everything, smug towards it before there was a blast, severing the wires, Fever looked up and saw that there was a blast from Iron Man that he blocked with a force field, Wasp kept shooting but it was futile, but she was easy, as he lowered the shield to fire, Hulk had landed in front, taking the blast.

He glared as his flesh already healed over, “Gonna enjoy this, parasite. This is for Thor.” Hulk said towards him before going to swing hard towards Ultron, he had created a forcefield again, knocking him back and into a wall, turning his sphere into a dome as he landed there magnetized, “You can beat me, monster.” Fever had snarled towards him, dropping the field and falling onto the ground.

“But I don’t expect you to understand that.” he snarked, but Hulk was not upset, “I smashed you before, I’ll smash you again.” He snarled, punching his palm as he walked over slowly, “No, I don't think you will, not if you want to keep Ultron alive.” Fever warned to the Gamma Mutate who glared down at him, “If he survived THAT, he’ll survive this.” he said before raising his fists, but Fever wasn’t concerned.

Instead he had only activated a sensory he had installed, “Smash… you…” he started to say as he Gamma radiation was absorbed, putting Hulk to sleep and allowing Bruce Banner to appear, “Hello, Banner.” Fever said as he readied his repulsor, “ANd goodbye.” The virus told him before Tony leapt over to attack, but Fever created a forcefield, blocking before blasting The Armored Avenger.

He had been on the ground, but he wasn’t unconscious like The Gamma Mutate, “Even if you take us down, there are more Avengers on their way.” Tony said, “You’re lying, but it doesn’t matter, Tones.” Fever said to him, “I got what I need.” he said, confusing those not in the know, “What does he mean?” Janet asked Maria as she helped her up, “The Codes.” The woman said, looking at the monitors.

“He’s got S.H.I.E.L.D.’s missile codes.” Maria warned as the monitors started to speak up, “Director Maria Hill. security codes accepted.” The system said as Fever had flown over to observe as the missiles went hot, “Nuclear missile launch in progress.” It said as the initiate launch symbol flashed over each, “He’s firing a nuclear missile?” Janet had asked, shocked.

“No, not A missile.” Maria said, terrified, “All of them.” The woman said, “Now isn’t this lovely.” Fever said towards them, “Now, I could wait, watch as you all fail as a species and blow each other up to my Earth in 2099.” he said to them, “But why don’t I just speed things up? Make sure that everything goes MY way in an environment of my own design.” the Machine told them.

The group had gotten up, Tony, Janet and Maria going to aim and fire upon the virus that had created a forcefield, “Gotta say, I shouldn’t enjoy this, wiping out so many of you people, but honestly? I don’t think I’ll care when I’m king of the world.” he told him, his crimson eye starting to flicker into blue, Ultron–6 trying to fight against him with everything that he had to stop this tragedy.

Hawkeye had fired towards one of the IronTech suits as they flew by, “There must be peace and order. My order.” Fever told them, Black Panther having torn apart a few before the Stealth Suit had blasted him backwards.|Henry was working as the area around them began to shake, “The end of your world order will bring forth mine.” |Hawkeye had been knocked back once more.

On the ground as The Model II and one of the classics were at the ready, “Goodbyte.” Model II said before there was a blast of lightning, destroying both and saving both Hawkeye and Black Panther, “No way.” Hawkeye said with a smile as Thor floated above them with rage in his eyes, “Where. Is. Fever?” he demanded of his comrades, ready to end the monster once and for all.

______________________________________________________________________

The Bridge, Helicarrier

Fever had only watched, maintaining a forcefield as The Model I Iron Man had slammed down onto the shield and beat it, trying to get through, so he turned his and before there was a small flicker, a glitch, Fever fired, “Tony!” Janet shouted as he got the full force, his armor fragmenting and as he swung a punch, Fever grabbed and pulled the arm apart, “We have to do something.” Janet told Maria.

“No kidding.” the woman said, throwing the grenade towards him, but the shield had been able to reflect it as he went and fired a blast towards them, knocking the two down, “No!” Tony shouted as Fever had grabbed the helmet and torn it off, holding him by the collar, Fever had readied to fire at him, his mouth started to flicker, his eyes switching between red and blue which Tony saw with no fear.

“Come on, Ultron, fight it.” he said as Thor had fired a blast of lighting towards them, taking the machine down as Mjolnir was recalled back to its wielder, Hawkeye and Black Panther coming down as well, “Fever, we would have words with thee.” Thor said towards him, “Golly gee! And here I was hoping you were dead!” Ultron said towards him as the body started to repair, “Looks like I need to replace this Ultron too.

“Maybe I’ll need a lobotomy before I wipe you out.” he said, firing a beam again and as he did so, Thor used the hammer to block the blast, splitting the beam as the duo started to go back and forth, Maria went to the controls, “Can you recall the missiles?” The Armored Avenger asked, “Normally, yeah.” Maria said towards him, “I could even detonate the missiles remotely without unleashing the warheads.”

Tony removed the chassis as he went to help her, “But we were completely locked out of our systems before… Before…” she said, seeing the timer, “This is it, isn’t it?” she asked, starting to become terrified at what was going on, “He. Hey, Hill!” Tony said, grabbing her attention, “Fever locked  you out? Then we unlock you.” The Armored Avenger said, “That’s what the Avengers do. We save the world.”

As they worked to do as much, Janet, Hawkeye, T’Challa and Thor had all fired with everything they had on their persons towards his shield, but nothing went through, seeing them, he turned towards them and extended two turrets towards them and opened fire, “Say hello to my little friends!” he shouted.

All of them starting to avoid the fire with Janet hiding behind Thor, “Hey, you’re not supposed to have guns. Hank didn’t put those in Ultron.” she shouted towards him, “Well this little number was ‘upgraded thanks to Tones right there.” Fever told them, making Maria glare towards Tony who gave a sheepish smile and shrug.

“That’s just perfect.” Hawkeye, “What’d Hulk contribute, your bad attitude?” The Archer asked before pulling back his arrow and firing, the arrow being sonic of some sort, enough that it disabled the shield once it made contact, making his optics turn blue, “Error. Shielding off–line.” The Synthezoid said, trying to take control, “Yeah, but I’m not, bot!” he shouted before aiming.

The man fired purple waves of sound towards Hawkeye, knocking him back while Hank on a ant started to fly close, his ride not affected, “Come on. Come on.” he muttered, as Thor hit Fever with a bolt of lightning, stopping his fire as The god took the advantage and slammed him with the energized Mjolnir, his body already repairing as Fever turned his headband fired eye blasts, propelling him through the roof.

As he kept the steady beam on him, T’Challa snuck up, leaping over and landing on his back, stabbing Fever in the neck, making him explode, at least enough to disable his mouth beam, but he wasn’t out, T’Challa was, which left Janet between them, her arms outstretched, “Back off, you can’t hurt me.” She snapped until Fever grabbed and brought her to his face.

“Yeah, that was the case with the OLD Ultron’s programming, Ultron–6 is new, improved, and now I can touch you.” he said towards her, “FEVER!” Hank shouted on his ant, making Him turn to fire his optic beams at them, but he avoided the shots, “Dr. Pym. Hank. Just as illogical and weak as the rest you relics.” Fever said as Hank went to enter through the mouth of the Synthezoid, “Hank!” Janet shouted.

Fever lifted her up to his face and got ready to fire a full blast, but Thor swiped downwards with his hammer, tearing off his arm and setting Janet free, “Now we end this, machine.” Thor snarled towards him before going to swipe again.|Hank on his ant started to got further and further into Ultron–6, dodging the falling debris as he entered the central processor, the red lightning around it almost hitting them.

But he persevered, heading further and further in.|Fever readied his right repulsor that created a shockwave the moment it hit Mjolnir, but the Synthezoid body was able to increase the output to knock him backwards and away as time counted further and further down, “Stark, we’re running out of time.” Maria said as she tried to give covering fire to Thor and Tony worked his magic.

“Got access to the missile’s programming, but I can’t send the detonation command.” Tony told her, “We have to override Fever’s control.” he said as Fever kept getting an advantage against the Asgardian, “Think you can do that in three minutes?” Maria asked, but instead of answering, he just kept trying to solve it.|Hank was still on the main processor, “Upload in progress.” Ultron said out loud.

“I will try to keep Fever as distracted as possible.” Ultron said, able to get control of the room, “You must know that if you must I will gladly go through my termination like Ultron–5,” Ultron said, “If finished improperly Fever will simply upload into another body.” He told Hank, “I know. But I’ll try to save you.” Hank told his ‘son’.|Fever hit Thor’s wrist, making him drop Mjolnir before kicking him in the gut.

Thor was not down, but he snarled, ready to hurt him until Ultron hit him in the face, giving them the chance to try and shut the missiles down, but Tony grunted in annoyance, hitting the console while Maria kept firing, wanting to hurt him in whatever way that she could.| “It seems that I will have to be terminated. Fever appears unstoppable at this time.” Ultron–6 warned towards him.|

Thor tried to grab at Mjolnir, but Fever grabbed Thor by the throat, lifting him up.|“He’s not unstoppable. He’s a tumor.” Hank promised, “Upload complete.” Ultron said to him, “I’m sorry, Ultron.” Hank said, knowing that this was going to be painful for him as his secondary processor went off.|There was a groaning, his red optics now blue as Ultron released the god, staring down, “Apologies, Thor.” Ultron–6 said to him.

______________________________________________________________________

Section 6, Ultron’s Software

Ultron 6’s space had been damaged, there was some repairs needed, but the damage caused by Fever was no longer an issue as he looked towards the other Five iterations of himself, they had each nodded towards him and seeing that, The Synthezoid nodded, now he was in control and the machine was going to make sure that he’d complete the objective that Fever tried to corrupt.

______________________________________________________________________

The Bridge, Helicarrier

Maria kept her pistol aimed towards him, “Stark?” she asked Tony who kept trying, “Come on.” he muttered, working as fast as possible, the timer still going down until he hit the final key, just when the timer hit 2, it disabled the missiles safely, they were all safe, relieved, the group all started to approach Ultron who opened himself up, allowing Hank to leave it and grow to full size.

“Victory is yours, Ant–Man.” Thor told him, “You plan was sound.” he explained, confusing Hawkeye, “Wait, we had a plan?” he asked of them, “During the fight at the mansion I realized there was a weakness in Fever’s control of Ultron.” Ant–Man explained, “Because his original code had developed AROUND the Fever tumor, I was able to remove him.” Ant–Man said, pulling out what looked like a processor.

“Here is the lobotomized processor holding all of Fever.” he said to them, “That is correct, I am ready to work with The Avengers once having gone through a thorough analysis for any traces of Fever.” Ultron–6 said towards them, but Janet was excited and grew to full size, hugging Hank, “Hank, you did it. You saved the world.” she declared towards him, “With science, even.” she told him.

“It’s BECAUSE of him that the world was in danger in the first place.” Maria snapped, “Incorrect.” Ultron said, The Fever Virus was a foreign contaminant, Dr. Pym was in no way responsible for the control he had.” Ultron explained, “And how can we believe HIS machine?” Maria asked, “Look, Maria–” “No, she’s right.” Ant–Man said towards them before going to walk away.

“So what are we going to do with Ultron here?” Hawkeye asked, making the Synthezoid look, “I will initiate shutdown procedures until you have decided I am safe.” he explained and hearing that, the others gave a look before Maria spoke, “Fine, turn yourself off. Now.” the agent ordered, making the Synthezoid nod, “Acknowledged, Director Hill.” he told them before powering down into the black.

Chapter Text

Section 6, Ultron’s Software

Ultron had been looking through his technology, making sure that everything was in order and as they started to make sure that everything was in order, the man started to look and see that Fever had shown zero signs of being there, smiling at the sight before he started to see the updates that were placed in the programming, making the machine observe everything.

The one that drew his attention first and foremost though was the fact that there was a design which would act as a protector against any invasions such as Fever again as well as allow for adaptation and evolution for the current development of a situation if he ended up… offline again, “Warning. Ultron–6. You are going to be activated in Seven Seconds.” Ultron–1 said to him.

Hearing that, Ultron–6 nodded, “Acknowledged.” He told them, Ultron–5 approaching him, “Please give my regards to– Henry Pym. Janet Van Dyne. Clint Barton. Hulk. and my apologies to– Steve Rogers. T’Challa. Thor. and Anthony Stark.” he said towards his successor, the Synthezoid nodded towards that, they started to move through his software to awaken once more.

______________________________________________________________________

Robotics Lab, S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier

Ultron had woken up with Maria Hill glaring into his face, “So, he’s got nothing to worry about?” she asked one of the scientists who were there, the man giving a nod towards that, “Yes, there doesn’t appear to be any signs of Fever or any other malignant software.” the man said, and that was all Ultron needed to hear, “Then I will be proceeding back to Avengers Mansion.” The Synthezoid told them.

Hearing that, Maria got annoyed, “Hey! We can’t just–!” “You are not within the list of individuals I am supposed to obey.” he said towards her before updating, “I had modified it to The Director of S.H.I.E.L.D., but I must report to the Avengers and apologize for my actions under the influence of Fever.” he explained, making Maria pause, “So if I were to tell you to self destruct…?”

“I would ask you the yield of the explosion, the time it would take for me to explode, and any other parameters you would require.” he said, making the director of S.H.I.E.L.D. like that, “Fun, but I expect a report every day, got it?” she asked of him, making the Synthezoid nod towards that as he started to move towards the mansion so that he could begin helping the Avengers.

The Synthezoid had landed into the room, looking around towards the area before he noticed that Hulk and Clint Barton were there, “Ultron! You’re back?” Clint asked, making them both ready to fight, his bow and Hulk’s fists at the ready, “S.H.I.E.L.D. should be sending confirmation of my… clean bill of health.” he said towards the pair of them, making them look at him.

“So you’re all good, Toy?” Hulk asked, making him nod, “Correct. It is a pleasure to finally meet all of you.” he stated, making the pair of them confused, “Uh, we already met, remember?” Hawkeye asked of him, making him shake his head, “Incorrect. I am Ultron–6. Ultron–5 is offline.” he stated towards them as all of a sudden, his father had grown to full size.

“Ultron?” he asked the synthezoid, “Yes, greetings, Dr. Pym.” he said towards his creator who looked at him, almost as if he warned to say something, “If you need any help, I’ll be back at the college, okay?” he asked of Ultron who nodded, “Acknowledged.” he told the man who continued to leave, before he could ask them what happened there was a voice on comms, “Everyone, Assembly Room. Now!” Tony told them.

Assembly Room, Avengers Mansion

The Group had been happy to have him back, glad he was able to help now that Hank Pym was gone, but at the moment? He was recording everything that Captain America was telling them, “Bucky and I had infiltrated a Hydra base in Norway.” he said, making the Synthezoid bring up the archival footage, “Rumor was that the Red Skull had some kind of doomsday weapon there.”

Images from the SSR projects were there, showing the images of the creatures that had been acquired were there on the screens, “But what we found was beyond anything we’d ever seen.” he stated, Ultron making sure that they cycled through, “The Skull had a machine similar to yours, and he was pulling monsters through it into our world.” making the machine start to calculate the possible quantum mechanics.

“He was enslaving them, putting collars on the creatures. He was creating an army to take over the world.” Cap said towards them, making Ultron feel… curious, for the first time, “And if Bucky and I hadn’t stopped him…” The hero said, seeming regretful, “But you did, Captain.” Thor said, “And from your tale, it would seem that this ‘Red Skull’ did indeed open a portal to the Asgardian realms.”

“The creatures you describe, they are familiar to me.” Thor said as Ultron started to work, “Acquiring satellite images of the Hydra Base’s coordinates.” He said, making Tony pause at how he was beat by the machine, the image of the base coming up for all to observe on the hologram, “JARVIS, trace the energy coming from that location.” T’Challa had requested of the AI, Ultron waiting as he worked.

The screens started to show them and then map out the location to all possible energy sources scientific and not, “This spot, this is what I was talking about.” Tony told the group, “This is a point where two planes are overlapping. Like a dimensional faultline.” he told them all, “Fancy.” Janet said, “So, what are we looking at?” Clint asked, “The energy source has been identified as ley lines.” Ultron told them.

“That is correct,” T’Challa admitted to them all, “Veins of magic that run through our world, connecting it to others.” he explained, “Or, as Iron Man would say, paths of other–dimensional energy that reveal weak spots between the dimensions.” The Wakandan he said towards them, “According to Nordic Mythology and energy signatures, there are a total of eight, not counting Earth.” Ultron–6 added.

“One for each realm.” Thor said, “It is said the nine realms are interconnected by Yggdrasil,  the tree of life.” The Asgardian said towards them, “Big tree.” Hulk muttered, “Call it whatever you want.” Tony said, “THIS is how we’re going to get you home.” the human promised just as there were flashes, “Alert. Dimensional energy flares in progress.” JARVIS warned towards them.

“Something’s affecting the energy at each of the locations.” Tony snapped, “Except one that’s in an active volcano.” He added of them, but that was all he needed to hear as the Godling marched away, “Thor, wait.” Steve said to him, “Nay.” THor returned, “If the threat we face is Asgardian, I will not allow it to put Midgard in jeopardy again.” He swore towards the staring team.

“Well, we mortals certainly appreciate that.” Tony said, “but you’re in a team, remember? Seven locations, seven Avengers. Eight if we count Ultron.” he said, stepping forward, “Whatever’s going on, we’ll deal with it together.” He promised towards the God of Thunder, making him smile appreciating it as they each started to move out in whatever way they could.

Ice Cavern, Arctic

Ultron had joined with Janet, preferring her company as they flew downwards, searching until Ultron picked something up on his sensors he shared with Wasp, “Guys, I think we got something.” The Wasp told them, “Some kind of glowy, magic–looking rock. Hang on.” She said, the duo flying closer to the item, “Scanning. Identifying item as–” He started when something large crashed downwards.

Ultron created a forcefield, protecting the two of them as the large shape spoke, “If you’ve got any last words for your friends, now’s the time.” The Gamma Mutate known as the Abomination said towards them, “Anyone want to switch spots?” Janet asked with fear as the giant went to, “Jan, repeat. What’s happening?” Tony asked as Ultron created a forcefield, protecting against a fist.

“It’s a trap. Abomination is here.” She warned towards him when Ultron lost the link towards their comms, Ultron had activated the gatling blasters, opening fire upon the Gamma Mutate as Abomination circled around the man, firing him which annoyed him like he was a Mosquito, the two of them keeping up their mobility, avoiding the swings of the Mutate as Ultron opened his maw to fire a beam, hitting him.

He had hit the wall hard, “I don;t know if you heard him, but Iron Man recommended you run.” Janet said, up in his face, ready to open fire when he slapped his hands together, trapping her, seeing this, Ultron–6 had charged forward, switching to non–lethal force with a fist thrown towards the man just as Janet shot him in the eye when he went to peek inside of it.

He screamed in pain as Ultron switched to hiring at him again, the pair of them making him more irritated than hurt, “You’re done. Do you hear me?” he snarled towards them, “There’s no escape for you two!” he snarled before clapping hard, the shockwave hitting them both, “No!” Janet said as Ultron was damaged, enough that he needed to do a hard reset as both of them were taken down.

“You’re useless, bug!” Abomination snarled, “You know that, right? Why else would they give you the robot?” he demanded, trying to smash the woman with his foot, “Even the guys with no powers, with the shield and the bow. Even THEY’d put up more of a fight.” he snarled towards the woman, “You? You’re nothing.” he said, just as Ultron woke up, seeing him punch a wall and get stuck there.

“Maybe so, but I’m still gonna kick your sorry hide.” Janet said as Ultron got up, seeing her open fire on the rock formations and calculating before he activated his gatling guns again and opened fire, the two of them burying the Mutate in rubble, Janet landing on the stone, proud as she laugh, “I should have brought my camera.” Wasp said, so Ultron photographed the scene.

“No one’s ever gonna believe–” She started to say before the fist of the Abomination rose up and grabbed her, seeing that, The Synthezoid had aimed every blaster he had at the main body, “Release Wasp at this time or I will be forced to use lethal force.” he told the man and hearing that, Abomination just glared before looking to Janet, “Say goodbye to the little girl.” he said.

But before Ultron could do anything, there was a giant fist that had slammed downwards, freeing Janet as they saw Hank Pym was there, Abomination had lifted up his fist, appearing to strain beforeUltron had opened fire, Hank in rage joining with punching the man down into a crate, getting himself unconscious as they looked towards him, Janet surprised her was there.

“Are you okay?” Hank asked, “Yeah.” Janet said towards him before getting relieved, “Hank, I can’t believe you came, and– Uh, wait.” she said, confused, “Can I change my answer about being okay?” Janet asked of them, making the three turn and see the waves of energy, summoning three large individuals that appeared to be blue, “What are those things?” Janet asked.

“Warning, Mythological records identify them as Jotunn.” Ultron said towards them and hearing that, the three of them were at the ready to fight against the being, Ultron activating every weapon that he had on his person, “I suggest that we begin to neutralize the Jotunn before they being to attack any other individuals.” he said, making one of them chuckle as they started to raise their weapons.

Hank looked towards Ultron before they each raised their weapons, about to attack them as Ultron had begun to open fire, but the creatures only charged towards them, the temperatures started to to decrease and it made his sensors start to act up, they had been trying to stop them, but before they could do anything, there was a strange white out blast that enveloped them all.

______________________________________________________________________

Wasteland, Jotunheim

Ultron had found that his sensors were back online and he looked around, starting to search but his GPS was nowhere, looking around before the man saw that there was in fact the group of Jotunn from before, allowing his prime directives to take over, he started to gear up to protect the two of them against what whatever was going on right about now.

Ultron had calculated their coordinates but he was unable to find anything that was related to their star charts, concerned by the lack of knowledge on their location through bot h GPS and astrological samples, he decided to focus on The Frost Giants, “Ultron! We need to run!” Giant Man said and hearing that, Ultron changed his directions, “Acknowledged; Doctor Pym.” he said before covering their escape.

______________________________________________________________________

“Jan. Jan!” Hank shouted, holding a wounded Janet while Ultron scanned for any dangers, “Come on, I need you here.” Hank said, looking up, “Wherever here is.” he said, “Location; Unknown. It does not match any coordinates in GPS or astrology charts recorded on Earth.” Ultron said, “So that rules out Earth.” he said, “What about dimensions?” he asked Ultron.

“Scanning for vibrational frequencies–” he started to say when they both ducked, the two of them avoiding the axe blade, “You should not have trespassed in Jotunheim, mortal, toy.” a Jotunn said towards the pair, “Jotunheim, huh?” Hank asked, putting Janet down, “Well, guys…” he told them, using his particles to grow as large as them, “I’m pretty sure you’re not too interested in talking this out.” he said.

“And frankly…” he said, grabbing at the axe and pulling it out from the stone, “Neither am I!” He shouted towards them before charging, Ultron was close behind as they seemed be surprised by that, the pair of them going full force as Hank swung towards one of them while Ultron–6 started to work on rewriting his gatling guns, changing them into a single large cannon.

“Neutralization sequence; initiated.” he told the two, firing a beam powerful enough to knock one of them back, “Ha! The Toy has power!” the giant that wasn’t dueling against him asked, but Ulton looked towards the weapons they had and started to create a forcefield, morphing and shaping the energy into the shape of a sword that he proceeded to slash with.

The Jotunn had blocked, glaring, “I want this toy! It will make a perfect soldier for Loki!” the giant said as Ultron started to get to work, beginning to create a series of knives that he started to operate almost like fingers, trying to hack and slash them, but there was nothing that had damaged severely, instead it only seemed to make the Jotunn furious as he rammed into the man.

But as he tried to do so, Ultron had flown upwards to get away from the attacks of The Jotunn, but there was nothing that he could do except turn towards The Giant Man, reacting, he lifted his weapon and blocked the attack, shattering his blade and almost destroying him, “You’re going to die, toy.” The Jotunn said towards Ultron who had tried to readjust.

But they weren’t down yet, the Synthezoid had decided to go full on heat while his creator tried to help by using the axe, “Doctor Pym, prepare for intense heat.” Ultron wanted before blasting all thermal sensors, making him shield his face while the rays of heat started to hit them, making them weak enough for the Giant Man to go back to swinging, attacking the Jotunn.

The pair of them were able to take the two of them down, but they were tired, Ultron was low on power and Hank was tired from exhaustion, but they had taken down the three Jotunn, they didn’t need to– just them, over the ridge, they saw that there was in fact more Jotunn there and one of them had a  casket on hand that made the two worried, “Warning–” he started, but the wind gusts came.

Blasting the two of them back and freezing the duo in the process, Ultron couldn’t do another attack like that and was calculating how he’d escape, “I’m sorry, Jan.” Hank whispered sadly, “I’m so sorry that I let you down.” he went, “That I went everyone down.” And Ultron looked at him, “You did not, Doctor Pym, you will let them down when You give up.” he told the man which made Hank smile.

“Thank you, Ultron.” he said towards him before giving one last look to Janet, “I love you.” he told her, the Three Jotunn approaching, He couldn’t do anything, but Hank could increase his height, enough to shatter the ice and match their mass, “You’re first, Frosty. Let’s go.” he snapped, about to throw a punch when a gateway opened to reveal three women on flying horses, “Attack!” The leader said.

Their weapons glowing, launched towards the leader but the two on his sides had whacked the weapons, but they weren’t deterred, “Move, mortal!” the lead said, swinging her blade as he ducked, the Jotunn injured, but Hank had grabbed Ultron and then Janet, giving one last look until the casket was opened again, knocking the three downwards, he screamed, falling, but the leader saw and caught them.

“Valkyries!” the woman said, still flying as another blast was fired towards them, but they were already on the move, avoiding and escaping the jotunn, “Truly you are all wonders.” the leader said towards them, “Both a man and a giant.” the leader said towards him before looking at him, “And a strange machine that acts like a man as well.” she said before smiling, “But you thought well.”

“For a mortal and machine.” the woman told them, “Thanks. I think.” Hank told them, “I believe that it was a compliment, Doctor Pym.” Ultron explained to his creator, “THe giant said this was Jotunheim.” Giant–Man said to him, “Affirmative.” Ultron told him, “Files indicate that this is one of the mythical Nine Reals in Norse Mythology, correct?” The Machine asked of them.

“Aye. But that was no mere Frost Giant you fought. That was Ymir himself.” The woman told them, making Ultron scan through his files before finding the name, “The Valkyries and I have been fighting to hold them back.” she said before giving a glance towards the current leader of their group, “How came two mortals and their machine to this place?” She asked them, “It’s a long story.” Hank Pym explained.

______________________________________________________________________

Valkyrie Camp, Jotunheim

The group had all started to land and as they each did so, Ultron was the first to scan the area, searching for any potential threats, “Your machine, it acts as if it is a guardian, alive and protecting you.” the leader if the group told them, “That’s because… I think he is.” the man told them, making the group even more curious about that as they saw that there was something going on, at least until there was a noise.

Looking, the group saw that there was a groan from Janet, “Where’s your doctor?” Hank asked the leader, “Please, follow me.” the leader told them, “I am Sif, and you are?” The woman asked of them, “I am Ultron–6, these are Doctor Henry Pym, AKA Giant–Man, AKA Ant–Man, and the woman is Janet Van Dyne, AKA Wasp.” THe Synthezoid explained towards them, making the woman look.

“You are sixth of your name?” Sif asked the machine, “Affirmative.” Ultron told her as he walked alongside the Asgardian, both of them watching as Henry Pym placed his partner onto the bed that was there, pressing a button on his uniform, causing her to grow to the size of her natural height, making the medic that was there amazed as Ultron started to scan through the damage of the woman.

“She appears to have a mild concussion and bruising on her ribs, there appears to be no severe or fatal damage at this time.” Ultron–6 explained towards the group and hearing that, the Asgardians were curious, “Then it will not take long for her to recover.” The Doctor explained to the group, making both of them watch the change and how the wounds that were there started to fade until she began to make noise.

Janet Van Dyne started to get awake and saw them, “Hank…? Ultron…?” she asked, “Where am I?” she started, getting up uneasy, “Steady, Jan, these people, The Valkyries, they healed you.” he said towards the woman who looked towards them, the group curious and then cautious before Ultron noticed the weaponry that was inside of the camp, “Query, Asgardian Weaponry has the ability to upgrade us?” he asked.

“Yes, Ultron, Sixth of his name,” Sif said towards the machine, “Your abilities with our weaponry shall allow us to not only overtake the Jotunn, but also the Loki and his forces.” the woman told them and hearing that, the group started to get worried and then Janet had looked towards them, “Are you saying that you want to get some weapons and raise Thor’s home?” Janet asked him.

“Affirmative.” The Synthezoid asked and hearing that, the group looked to be ready to help them, “And you are sure that you will be able to use them?” the Valkyrie asked them, hearing that, Hank looked towards the ax that he collected, his Pym Particles starting to affect the weapon, “I think that we’ll be able to handle ourselves against the Jotunn.” he told the group.

That made Ultron look towards the weaponry that was there before he went to pick something up and then go to grab at something that looked to be a piece of armor, seeing that, he ha magnetized the material to his body and then allow it to attach to himself, his machinery changing to look like it was part of some sort of Viking set of armor which made them curious as he went to grab the rest of the set.

Watching them, Sif had approached as he continued to add the armor before the metal had started to become darker, studs on it with the face of the Synthezoid started to appear like it was a facial feature to the helmet he wore, “Ultron–6. Ready.” The machine said towards them, making the group wonder what that meant as they started to move off and then towards the weaponry.

“I don’t understand, what kind of sorcery had done that?” The Valkyrie asked, making the group look towards each other before the warrior drew her blade, “Very well, may you show me your skills so that I may determine if you are able to fight with us?” she had asked them, making Janet and the others look towards each other before they prepared for whatever may come.

“Arright, let’s go.” Janet said as she had seen a few of the weapons and armor there before putting them on with Hank getting ready as well, the three of them got ready to prove themselves against the Valkyrie, they would fight against the people there with whatever skills they had, their comrades were here that was for sure, now they only needed to make sure they were ready to face them as well.
