Avengers Mansion (Interior)

"Jarvis, how did they get my suit?" asked Tony "And how come we never heard about this until now."

"They've been very subtle about it," said Jarvis "They stole the plans for the Arc Reactor in conjunction with Hydra when they stole them six months ago, it's hard to trace anything else, they must have transmitted the plans to their ship before you destroyed Hydra's copy, they've been setting this up for a while."

"Why'd they do all this just to steal Iron Man?" asked Clint "It seems a lot of trouble."

"The plans for the Iron Man suit and Arc Reactor weren't the only things Hydra stole from the archives," said Jarvis "They also took some of Mr Stark's theories on how to counteract Thor's hammer in flight, schematics of the Ant Man helmet and the Wasp biostingers, and they almost got the composition to Panther's vibranium daggers before I locked them out."

"How did they get past your firewall without you noticing?" asked Tony, stumped

"I believe that they inputted a rogue AI built to mimic me no matter what I said or did, completely undetectable, and they could then download it to their ship."

"A rogue AI?" asked Tony "Oh no, you aren't talking about Ultimo."

"Those are my suspicions, sir," said Jarvis after a moment "That is the only way I think my defences have ever been penetrated before."

"If the Cybermen have Ultimo," said Tony "They could destroy the world."

"All right, be honest with us, Tony," said Steve "How bad is this Ultimo?"

"Ultimo is a sort of evil version of Jarvis, AIM stole a back-up copy of him, they got all the information stored in him and used it to create Ultimo, at the same time, they also created Project Protean, and merged the Ultimo intelligence with it, Ultimo nearly destroyed the world, myself and War Machine stopped it,"

"So how do we stop him?" asked Janet.

"I don't know," said Tony "Ultimo has been planning this for a while, manipulating HYDRA, AIM and the Cybermen to his own ends, he's more powerful now than he ever was when we faced him last time."

"What do you need, Tony?" asked Steve "How do we stop him?"

"I think," said Tony "We need to call the Doctor back in."

Sorry about the lack of Doctor Who in the last few chapters, you'll be seeing him again soon. Next chapter: A mysterious stranger turns up at Avengers Mansion.
