Chapter 4

The heroes all head for Tony's Malibu mansion, when they arrived they noticed that Tony was prepared as a high power force field covers his house and drive way, he has four turret guarding the house two at the front and at the back. When the two jeeps pull up to the house, the heroes get out and Tony says "I'll try rebooting J.A.R.V.I.S, but even if it works, I'll still not be able to take back control of the Iron Legion". Cap treats his bruises with a wet cloth, while Agent Hill arrives and says to Natasha "where is Fury?" Natasha replies "over there with Colonel Rhodes". Agent Hill walks over to Fury and she says "sir, I highly suggest we bring the President here". Fury says "would you like to tell me why" Agent Hill replies "if the Mandarin is out there, what happens if he's tries to kill him again". Rhodey says "she has a point sir; this mansion is safest place in the country, especially if Ultron doesn't stop hacking". Fury says "alright good work Agent Hill" he turns on his radio and says "Agent Ward get the President here and quick".

Half an hour later, the President arrives and says "Fury, would you like to explain why I am here". Suddenly Tony buts in and says "there, welcome back J.A.R.V.I.S". J.A.R.V.I.S replies "thank you sir, I wouldn't want to ruin this moment, but there is an incoming message". The TV turns on and the heroes look at the screen as does Fury, Hill and the President. "The Mandarin looks at the camera and he says "Mr President, only one lesson remains, and I had intended to finish this before summer ends". The camera moves out to show a man in handcuffs chained to the ground. The Mandarin continues "Meet Thomas Richards, good strong name and a good strong job. Thomas here is an account for Stark Industries. I'm sure he is a real good guy, I'm going to shoot him in the head, live on your television in thirty seconds". He points to the nearby phone "if you ring this telephone Thomas lives, the number for this telephone is in your mobile phone, go!" The President looks at his phone and sees the number; he says to the heroes "how did he hack my phone?" Natasha says "Ultron". Fury says "I highly recommend you don't do this". The President says "it's is the right thing to do". Agent Hill says "its negotiating with a terrorist". He rings the phone anyway; the Mandarin just looks at the screen as the telephone rings away. He pulls out a gun and shoots Thomas on live television. The heroes all look in shock, and the Mandarin continues "runaway hide, kiss your children goodbye, because nothing not your army, not your Avengers, can save you! I'll see you soon".

Tony says "what was that?" and Pepper replies "that was live footage of a murder, Tony". Tony replies "no not that, J.A.R.V.I.S pause the screen just after the Mandarin shot that man". J.A.R.V.I.S does so and Tony says "do you see that?" Cap replies "the Mandarin?" Tony replies " yes and no" he points at the Extremis surging through his cheek. And he says "that's Extremis! Ultron must've made a new batch!".
