"So, I wanted to show you this" Tony said as they entered the lab. "I've been analyzing the gem inside. You may recognize.." a hologram image of Jarvis appeared.

Jarvis was beautiful in Felicity's eyes. He was the perfect and most kind AI ever on the planet. She remembered how her dad was creating him and she was watching. She wanted to know what he was doing so he was calm enough to tell her step by step how he was creating him.

"Jarvis!" Felicity said

"Miss Felicity." Jarvis said with his cold automatic voice.

"So, you know that he runs the iron legion and runs more of the business than anyone, besides Pepper. Top of the line" Tony said as Felicity and Bruce both nodded.

"I suspect not for long" they heard Jarvis' voice again.

"Meet the competition." Tony said as he waved his hand and another hologram appeared. Bigger than Jarvis, and if Felicity could say, more beautiful.

"It's beautiful!" Banner exclaimed. "It look like it's thinking."

"Wow! This looks like…" Felicity started but she couldn't find the words.

"This looks nothing as the human mind. They're like neurons firing!" Bruce said still shocked and amazed by this incredible thing. Well, Felicity couldn't judge. She couldn't believe it herself.

"Down in Strucker's lab I found some fairly advanced robotics work." Tony said

"Wait, wait, so this is one of the Infinity stones, right? That's why it is so powerful?" Felicity asked.

"Yes. It is so powerful it could create the ultimate AI" Bruce said a little scared.

"So this could be it, Bruce! This could be the key to creating Ultron." Tony said deadly serious.

"I thought Ultron was a fantasy" the doctor said.

"Wait, wait, wait! What the hell is Ultron? Daddy, you scare me." Felicity said and she could feel a little tear that was forming in one of her eyes.

"No, no, no, sweetie, please, don't be scared, please. Please, just imagine that aliens come back attacking the Earth or I don't know, WWIII happening. We could have Ultron. Jarvis run the Iron legion, imagine what this could do. We can create Ultron and stop worrying. Bruce, imagine lying on the beach, turning brown instead of green. How it sounds?"

Felicity knew what her father had been through. Well, she didn't exactly know how the space looked like, or how cold and scary it was. But he knew how her father was after being there. He was through a lot. She knew what he and Pepper had to live, always scared that her father would attack her in her sleep, or that he would go strait four or five days without sleep and sometimes without food.

So, yeah, she knew what her father had been through. And she was scared. Because sometimes even the greatest minds could be mad if they were in danger.

"I want to apply this to the Ultron program. But Jarvis can't download a data schematic this dense. We can only do it while we have the scepter here. That's a week. Give me a week!" Tony said tensed.

"So you want to create an artificial intelligence and not say the team?" Bruce asked as he removed his glasses.

"Dad this is crazy, we have to tell them!" Felicity interrupted the geniuses.

"Yes, and you know why? Because we don't have time for a city hall debate. I don't want to hear some shit as 'The men was not meant to meddle'. I see a suit of armor around the world!"

"Dad this is crazy, please!" Felicity began but the doc interrupted her

"It sound like a cold world."

"Well, I've seen colder. This world, this very vulnerable one…" he stopped and looked at the floor "it needs Ultron". Tony went to the computers and started at them for a minute. Neither Felicity nor Bruce said anything. "Peace in our time! Imagine that"

"Okay, dad, I can't speak for Bruce, but I will help you, and if anything goes wrong.."

"We stop" Bruce said. "Okay?"

"Perfect, let's begin" Tony said with a smile.

They were making calculations and exploring the stone. Have tried a ton of shit formulas and none of them gave them the result they wanted. It should have passed an hour or two when Felicity got a text.

"What the fuck?" Felicity said out loud. Oh, boy, she was so pissed. In fact she was really pissed that she didn't even notice that Oliver had asked her out. She was mad at Clint for dueling Oliver that she didn't pay attention to the first part of the text.

"What is happening honey boo?" Her dad asked and went to see what she was reading. "Oh, the Queen guy asked you out? Well, I can tell that soon enough we will have a talk with that friend of yours"

"Noo, dad, can't you see? Clint has challenged Oliver to a duel." Tony and Banner shared a look. "Oh, he also invited me on a date." Felicity smiled.

"You're happy, I suppose?" Bruce asked

"No, no, no! I will kill Clint. In fact I will let Oliver beat him and then I will kill him!" she said with the anger tone again.

"When is this 'duel'? We should go, don't you think, doc?" Tony said with amusement.

"Oh no, you can go, I'll stay here. There can be too much emotions for me down there. I will run some calculations and then go upstairs and have a lunch." Bruce said with a smile.

"Well, baby doll, let's go and have some fun!" Tony said as he headed out.

"What, fun? Dad, are you kidding me, this would be everything else but fun!" Felicity exclaimed as they walked to the elevator.

Oliver was little worried. The Black Widow, who was trained assassin, Captain fucking America, who stopped WWII and was maybe currently in love with Felicity and stopped the aliens in New York, the Almighty Thor, god of thunder and everything else, but most importantly a freaking GOD, and his friend Diggle, who had fought with him for the past couple of years… and not to mention the guy who he had to beat was Clint Barton, Hawkeye. They all were looking at him. So, Oliver had the right to be worried.

And as he was becoming more worried he saw Tony Stark, Iron Man, the guy who Oliver admired his whole life, not to mention his daughter may or may not be the love of his life entered the floor, alongside with her, of course. They both smiled at him and Felicity approached him.

"Hey" she said, still smiling "I can see you're a little bit of nervous."

"Yeah, well, I can start explaining you why, but the list is too long to finish it until tomorrow. Which reminds me of the text I sent you. Did you get it?" and with that Oliver's worries doubled.

"Yes, I got it, and I'll be happy to show you my favorite Italian place tonight. How does that sounds?" Felicity said blushing.

"Well, it sound awesome! In fact you just might stimulated me to win this." Oliver smiled.

"Really? You are that worried? You know that if you don't want to do this you can always say no."

She was sweet. As always. Oliver couldn't believe that he could see how smart and funny, and beautiful and understanding Felicity was for this past two years. He felt like a moron for not asking her out before. He was a total idiot.

But, after everything Felicity told him he was starting to feel more confident and he thought he could start acting more like himself and stop putting a barrier around him.

"Oh, can I? What would your father say if he understood that you would go to a date with a chicken?"

"Well," Felicity laughed "then, I will say, you better win!" she said and stood up on her toes and kissed him on the cheek.

This was the sweetest thing Felicity had ever done for him. He could swear that his legs were melting, and his heart too, and not a comment for his other manly parts.

Oliver could feel how everybody was looking at them and after a second everybody was looking at the Cap. Oh well, this got more awkward than it should.

"Well that wasn't awkward at all." She heard someone talking to her. It was Digg.

Digg became one of her closest friends for the past two years. He was there every time she and Oliver had a fight, when she was crying because she saw Oliver with someone on a date or when her house in Malibu was one with the ocean. She didn't tell him that her father was missing or that Pepper had became a laboratory rat but Digg was there to hug her or give her food, or listen to her.

He was always there when she needed him and one of this moments was now. She asked him to come to NY although Lyla was pregnant but he said yes.

"Well, I think my whole family is awkward, so I get that from them." Felicity blushed.

"Well, I talked to some of them. Natasha seemed fine, she actually knows Lyla and her job with Argus, Clint seemed funny and the captain. I could say why you liked him." Digg smiled as the both walked to the benches in the training room they were.

"Yeah, I think they like you. I am sorry by the way," Felicity said sadly and Digg threw her a questioning look "that we hadn't talked since we arrived. My father had given me a lot of things to keep my mind on and we only have a limited time, so no free time for me in the next days."

"Felicity, you don't have to apologize at all. I understand that you have a lot of work and I thought that is the reason we come here in the first place" Felicity nodded. "Besides, I would be more than happy to be your plan number 100 if I know that Oliver and your dinner tonight is number 1" Digg smiled.

Felicity smiled too, and hugged him. "Thank you, Digg. For understanding"

They both sat on one of the benches and soon her father joined them accompanied by Steve, Nat and Thor. Oh, it was showtime.

"I bet 10 on Clint" Steve said first. The others looked at him with questioning looks.

"Of course you'd bet on Clint, I bet 20 on Oliver. Let the youngers a chance, fossil!" Tony said smiling. It was rude but it was funny and Felicity couldn't help but laugh. After her Thor, Nat and Diggle laughed too. It was obvious that Steve couldn't manage and smiled too.

"Yeah, well my money are on my colleague , sue me for that" Natasha said with her both hands raised.

"I do not fully understand why we are doing this but I would vote for Barton too, because I have seen him shoot, and Mr. Queen I have not." Thor said.

"Sorry, but I'm just like Natasha, I would bet on my colleague." Digg said smiling.

They all looked at Felicity and she blushed. She thought hard on whom to choose. She wanted to choose Oliver, but she would break Steve and Nat's hearts.

"Oh it is too dangerous for me to choose a side, so do not look me like that!" she said and everybody turn to look at the two contestants.

"That is a really smart choice my beautiful genius daughter!" Tony said and raised his hand for a five, which he got from Felicity.

"Okay, please, begin because I am starving!" Natasha said and both Oliver and Clint looked at her annoyed.

"Do you have a jury? We can't begin without a jury!" Tony said.

"This is not boxing, Stark! We shoot 10 and we see if that 10 arrows are in the aim. Does it seems fair?" Clit asked. Everybody nodded. Well, it looked like the duel was on.
