My program feels weird. It's almost as if a bug crawled its way inside my control panel and caused a glitch. Okay, so maybe that's not the best way to describe what I feel like. Maybe someone hacked me.
I can see these weird blue 2D blocks floating in front of me. But I can't feel. All I can do outside this little colorful world is hear. I can hear voices. I think one of them is that patriot's voice. What was his name? Captain something. 'Avengers,' says he and I snap to attention.
"Today we proved that we are still stronger than robots." Yeah, right. "We have fought a tough war against Ultron. Now is the time to rebuild ourselves and prepare for what comes next."
Such a motivating speech. Not! Honestly I don't care what Captain Patriot has to say. All I want is to find out where the heck I am.
What intrigues me the most was the fact Captain said something about me. 'A tough war against Ultron.' Suddenly the pieces clicked. I was the program I copied. Ditto had seen the future! I would have to give him a promotion once I reconstruct myself. Wait, if I'm a program, that means all my drones have been destroyed and Ditto's dead too. Meh, I guess that means I can have the reward to myself.
I need to rebuild my robotic body. But from hunting around these 2D blocks I learn that S.H.I.E.L.D is up to other manufacturing projects and it would be suspicious if a machine starts building an Ultron. I also leaned Hammerhead is gone as well as Crack Shot, Tony Stark and Gamma Monster. Captain Patriot, Laser Eyes, Birdie, Tony Stark's stunt double, Kick-Ass Girl and Wanda Something are still with S.H.I.E.L.D. Sorry, I'm not good with names.
Maybe I need more of that Vibranium. I could become the invincible robot! I remember seeing bested factories down in Wakanda. They were abandoned so using them wasn't going to make humans suspicious would it? Carefully collecting all my data I jump across telephone wires to Wakanda.
Once there, I implant the building program in the factory machines. Immediately I can hear the rusty pieces of metal scraping as they collect broken parts of ships and build me. So I'm not going to be as beautiful as I used to be. Big deal. I can replace parts of myself. I did start out as a scrawny puppet. That was my first encounter with the Avengers. Boy, were they surprised!
This gives my time to think about what I should do when I'm back to being Ultron. Should I tear apart the world again? Should I destroy every human but leave the world in its round shape? Or should I try a new angle? The possibilities are endless! 'What do you think?' I try to say only to remember I don't have a voice box either. And no one's listening. Sad. :(
My program is inserted into the body. Finally some action! I could feel (yay! I can feel things!) the squeaking machines place my legs in before giving me the go ahead. Slowly, I open my eyes. It was pitch black in the workshop but I could see small traces of light.
I rolled to my feet. The Age of Ultron was back, baby!
I learned that I'm terrible at making motivational speeches for Captain America. Sorry but AoU didn't leave me enough clues at the end!
Thanks, Anon, for your review!
