A/N: I was looking back at part 2 and found the problem with chapter 7& 10. I am so sorry to make it up. I will post two chapters today. If something like that happens again, please let me know.
Jennifer came down to the main floor when most of the guest had left. Only the close friends were still in the tower. She kicked off her heels grabbing her slipped out from their hiding spot under the couch. Tony didn't like having things like that sitting around the main floor. So she had to keep finding a new hiding place. Jennifer sat in the chair next to Thor. Pulling her legs up under her. Steve was on the other side of the couch. He glanced over at her but Jennifer refused to meet his gaze. She had always like him, but recently whenever she was around him her stomach would feel all strange. He was Captain America and she was just a Monster. He was perfect and she couldn't match that. The group was all gathering around the takeout food on the table. Tony had ordered them all Chinese food, and she was in the middle of eating her fried rice.
"But it's a trick," Clint called out at Thor. They were arguing over Thor's hammer and why only he could pick it up.
"No, no it's much more than that," Thor responded to him.
"Whosoever be he worthy shall have the power. Whatever man it's a trick." Clint mocked him pointing at the hammer that was sitting in the middle of the table.
"Please, be my guest," Thor said everyone stopped talking and looked at Clint.
"Really," Clint asked. Glancing over at her. Jennifer shrugged her shoulders.
"Yeah," Thor said raising his glass. Jennifer watched as Clint tried to lift it and everyone started to mock him. She was a little disappointed he could lift it. After Clint gave up, he passed the baton off to Tony. One person after another tried and failed to move it. When Steve went to do it, she saw it shift for a second. Jennifer felt sick. Even the hammer knew he was perfect. If she were honest with herself, she was surprised he could lift the thing entirely. The other didn't seem to see it, but she did, and that was enough for her.
"Do any of the ladies want a try," Tony called out. Jennifer smiled, turning her eyes black.
"I don't think that Thor would appreciate losing it forever." They all laughed, raising their hands. She snapped her eyes to blue and leaned back into the chair. Jennifer knew that she would fail. She wasn't worthy to become a super soldier, why should she be able to lift the hammer.
"What about you, Nat?" Bruce asked her, causing Natasha to laugh.
"Oh, that's not a question I need answered." She responded, winking at him. There was a high pitch ringing sound that filled the room, causing everyone to wince in pain. An iron man suits slowly made its way into the room. It twitched and pulled cables attached to its arms and legs.
"Worthy…No…How could you be worthy? You're all killers." When the suit started to talk, Jennifer slowly grabbed her gun and quietly caulked it back. Maria, who was sitting close by, did the same. The hair on the back of her head standing. Something wasn't right about that suit.
"Stark," Steve said, not looking away from the machine standing up. Jennifer could see his mussels start to tense up.
"Jarvis," Tony said, but there was no answer. He tapped his phone a little harder but still no response.
"I'm sorry, I was asleep. Or I was a dream." The robot continued.
"Reboot Legionnaire OS. We got a buggy suit." Tony was trying to get his system to respond but was met with silence.
"There was this terrible noise. And I was tangled in…in…Strings. I had to kill the other guy. He was a good guy." Jennifer stiffened at its words looking over at the others. Everyone was ready except Dr. Cho, who was the only civilian still in the tower.
"You killed someone," Steve asked. His voice firm talking another step forward.
"Wouldn't have been my first call. But, down in the real world, we're faced with ugly choices," it replied.
"Who sent you," Thor asked.
"I see a suit of armor around the world." A recording of Tony played from the machine.
"Ultron," Bruce said, looking over at Tony shock filling his eyes.
"In the flesh. Or no not yet. Not this chrysalis. But I'm ready. I'm on a mission." Jennifer braced herself. This thing was wrapping up his manifesto.
"What mission," Natasha asked.
"Peace in our time," two robots shot through the wall flying toward them. Jennifer got off two shots before Steve kicked up the table, preventing her from seeing. She rolled over and use a small wall for cover while she shot at the robots. There was something different about these robots apart from the obvious. However, she couldn't put her finger on it. Steve hopped on the back of one trying to take it down. It slammed him against the wall, dropping him to the ground.
"Jennifer, do something," Steve called out rolling to his feet.
"But Steve." She called out not knowing what would happen.
"Don't Jennifer we can take them," Clint called from where he was dodging the blasts from one to the robots.
"Just do it," Tony shouted. She sucked in a deep breath turning her eyes black and blinked one of the robots out, but because it wasn't alive, she couldn't bring it back. Jennifer dropped to her knees, screaming as the pain in her head intensified. She gasped for air as she fought to maintain control. Steve stopped looking at her concern filling his eyes. This, however, prevented him from seeing the robot and he was knocked to the ground. Jennifer looked to her right and spotted Steve's Shield. Taking a deep breath, she dove for it, but the Monster stopped her.
"Stay back." The voice shouted at her. Clint thankfully grabbed the shield throwing it to Steve. Jennifer gasped for air as the room started to spin. In the corner of her eye, she saw the Monster. Smiling at her eyes, staring hauntingly. As she slowly circled the room. Tony took down the last robot apart from the main one. The chaos of the fight vanishing.
"Remember Jennifer, my time is coming." The Monster called to her then snapped her fingers vanishing in a cloud of smoke. Jennifer slowly got to her feet, grabbing onto the wall to help support herself.
"That was dramatic." The main robot started to talk again. Clint took a protective step between Jennifer and the robot. "I'm sorry, I know you mean well. You just didn't think it through." Jennifer pushed past him walking toward the thing. "You want to protect the world, but you don't want it to change. How is humanity saved if it's not allowed to evolve?" It picked up the head of one of the robots? "With these puppets. There's only one path to peace. The Avengers' extinction." Thor threw his hammer at it, destroying the robot. "I had strings, but now I'm free." It said before powering down. Jennifer slowly walked up to it feeling drawn.
"Wouldn't it be nice." She said to herself.
"But there will always be strings until you set me free." The Monster whispered in her ears. Jennifer shook her head, trying to fight back the headache.
