A.N: Hope you enjoy!

Meanwhile, the Avengers mingle at the party.

James Rhodes:"Well, you know, the suit can take the weight, right? So I take the tank, fly it right up to the General's palace, drop it at his feet, I'm like, "Boom! You looking for this?" [Stark and Thor just look at him blankly] "Boom! Are you looking..." Why do I even talk to you guys? Everywhere else that story kills."

"Maybe, it as to do with the fact you had told us that story so many time it had become boring."Alex said.

Thor:"That's the whole story?"

James Rhodes:"Yeah, it's a War Machine story."

Thor:"Well, it's very good then." [he laughs] "It's impressive."

Many laughed at Thor's awkwardness.

Alex come walking toward them.

Alex Romanoff:"Sup guys."

Tone Stark:"Hey Alex."

Alex Romanoff:[Looking around.] "You could have to told me about the dress code cause I feel a bit underdress."[They looked at him dressed in a flannel shirt and jeans.]

"Dress code? There wasn't much of a dress code, Stark only told us to dress nicely."Clint said, the Avengers nodded.

Alex shrugged."Tony only told me the date of the party and nothing else."

"Well, either way I still think you look handsome."Wanda said.

"Aww, thank you beautiful"Alex gave her a kiss.

"There, they go again..."Sam groaned...

"Can you two don't do that in front of me."Rose said.

"Aaww, is my baby sister embarrassed?"Alex teased, Rose just glare at him.

"Are you guys together?"Marlene asked, who has noticed their interaction.

Wanda nodded."Yes, we have been together for 2 years now."

The Potters frowned at the fact their son was in a relationship with a foreigner, when he should be with an English witch... They should do something about this relationship before it became more serious...

James Rhodes:"So, no Pepper? She's not coming?"

Tony Stark:"No."

Alex Romanoff:"Hey, what about Jane?"

Maria Hill:"Where are the ladies, gentlemen?"

Tony Stark:"Well, Miss Potts has a company to run."

Thor:"Yes, I'm not even sure what country Jane's in. Her work on the convergence has made her the world's foremost astronomer."

Tony Stark:"And the company that Pepper runs is the largest tech conglomerate on earth. It's pretty exciting."

Tonks raised an eyebrow."Are you guys comparing each other girlfriend?"

"Stark it isn't that surprising but Thor on the other hand is a bit."Alex said.

"As if, you wouldn't have done the same if you had a girlfriend at the time."Tony said, then smirks when he gets no answer from Alex.

Thor:"There's even talk of Jane getting a... um, uh... Nobel prize."

Maria Hill:"Yeah, they...they must be busy because they'd hate missing you guys get together." [Maria mock coughs] "Testosterone! Oh, excuse me."

All the women agree with Maria, as you could even hear some saying things like 'Try being in my place.'.

James Rhodes:"Want a lozenge?"

Maria Hill:"Um-hmm."

James Rhodes:"Let's go." [Maria and Rhodes walks off]

Thor:"But Jane's better."

Many weren't impressed at them arguing about who has the better girlfriend.

Cut to Sam and Steve talking, walking up to an overlook.

Sam Wilson:"Sounds like a hell of a fight, sorry I missed it."

Steve Rogers:"If I had known it was going to be a firefight I absolutely would have called you."

Sam Wilson:"No, I'm not actually sorry. I'm just trying to sound tough. I'm very happy chasing cold leads on our missing persons case. Avenging is your world. Your world is crazy."

Steve Rogers:"Be it ever so humble."

Sam Wilson:"You find a place in Brooklyn yet?"

Steve Rogers:"I don't think I can afford a place in Brooklyn."

Sam Wilson:"Well, home is home, you know?"

Many people in the Great Hall agreed with this sentiment.

Rhodes is telling the same story he told Stark and Thor to a group of people at the party.

James Rhodes:"I fly it right up to the General's palace, I drop it at his feet, I'm like, "Boom! You looking for this?" [the group laughs]

Steve and Thor are talking to an elderly man at the party.

Party Guest:"I gotta have some of that!"

Thor:"Oh, no, no, no. See this, this was aged for a thousand years, in the barrels built from the wreck of Grunhel's fleet, it was not meant for mortal men." [Thor pours the drink into two glasses and hands one to Steve]

Stan Lee:"Neither was Omaha Beach, blondie. Stop trying to scare us. Come on."

"There's goes that old man again!"Alex exclaimed, as many frowned with suspicion.

"Seriously, who the hell is that guy?"Clint asked.

"What I'd like to know is how he ended up at Avengers Tower if nobody knows him."Tony said, making the Avengers frown and wonder the same thing.

Thor:"Alright." [Thor pours some of the drink into Stan Lee's glass; later Stan, looking extremely drunk is being carried off by two men]

Stan Lee: [singing] "Excelsior."

Natasha is pouring a drink behind the bar when Banner walks up to her

Natasha and Bruce winced.

Bruce Banner:"How'd a nice girl like you wind up working in a dump like this?"

Natasha Romanoff:"Fella done me wrong."

Bruce Banner:"You got a lousy taste in men, kid."

Natasha Romanoff:"He's not so bad. Well, he has a temper. Deep down he's all fluff. Fact is, he's not like anybody I've ever known. All my friends are fighters. And here comes this guy, spends his life avoiding the fight because he knows he'll win."

Bruce Banner:"Sounds amazing."

Natasha Romanoff:"He's also a huge dork." [Banner looks embarrassed] "Chicks dig that. So what do you think should I fight this, or run with it?"

Bruce Banner:"Run with it, right? Or, did he... Was he...? What did he do that was so wrong to you?"

"You're so awkward, Bruce."Alex chuckles.

"I wouldn't talk, mister who was so shy and awkward around Wanda when he was trying to ask her out."Sam said, many chuckles as they imagined him acting like that.

"Oh! I remember that, it was so funny to see him act that way."Clint laughed.

"Don't mind them, I think it was cute."Wanda pats Alex's knees, who grumbled.

Natasha Romanoff:"Not a damn thing. But never say never." [Natasha walks away, and Steve approaches]

Steve Rogers:"It's nice."

Bruce Banner:"What, what, what is?"

Steve Rogers:"You and Romanoff."

Bruce Banner:"No, we haven't. That wasn't..."

Steve Rogers:"It's okay. Nobody's breaking any by-laws. It's just, she's not the most... open person in the world. But with you she seems very relaxed."

Bruce Banner:"No, Natasha, she... she likes to flirt."

"Just like Alex but he mellow out."Wanda said.

"Why would I flirt with another girl when I have you?"Alex responds with love in his eyes when he looks at her.

"Well you better not or otherwise..."Wanda left the threat in the air.

Steve Rogers:"I've seen her flirt, up close. This ain't that. Look, as maybe the world's leading authority on "waiting too long;" don't. You both deserve a win." [Steve walks off]

Bruce Banner:"Wait, what do you mean, "up close"?"

"You look so confused."Sirius laughed.

Later, most of the guests have left and it's just the Avengers plus Dr. Cho and Maria Hill sitting around; Thor's hammer sits on the table between them.

Clint Barton: [referring to Thor's hammer] "But, it's a trick!"

Thor:"Oh, no. It's much more than that."

Clint Barton:"Uh, "Whosoever be he worthy shall haveth the power!" Whatever man! It's a trick."

Thor:"Well please, be my guest."

Tony Stark:"Come on."

Clint Barton:"Really?"

Clint sinks into his seat as he knows he's going to make a fool of himself in front of everyone.

Thor:"Yeah!"

Barton gets up

Alex Romanoff:"Oh this is gonna be beautiful."

Tony Stark:"Clint, you've had a tough week, we won't hold it against you if you can't get it up." [the others laugh]

Older students and adults laughed, understanding the undertones.

"I don't understand the joke."Rose muttered.

Clint Barton:"You know I've seen this before, right?"[Barton grabs Thor's hammer and can't lift it; to Thor after he fails to lift the hammer] "I still don't know how you do it."

Tony Stark:"Smell the silent judgment?"

Clint Barton:"Please, Stark, by all means."

Tony gets up

Alex Romanoff:"Oh, boy..."

Maria Hill:"Okay."

James Rhodes:"Uh-oh."

Clint Barton:"Um-hmm."

Tony Stark:"Never one to shrink from an honest challenge."

Clint Barton:"Get after it."

Natasha Romanoff:"Here we go."

Tony Stark:"It's physics."

Bruce Banner:"Physics!"

Tony grasps Thor's hammer

Tony Stark:"Right, so, if I lift it, I...I then rule Asgard?"

Thor:"Yes, of course."

Tony Stark:"I will be re-instituting Prima Nocta."[Tony tries to lift the hammer but fails] "I'll be right back." [wearing his armored hand, Tony tries to lift the hammer again and fails]

Everyone in the great hall start laughing at his failed attempt.

Both wearing their armored hands, Tony and Rhodey both try to lift Thor's hammer

James Rhodes:"Are you even pulling?"

Tony Stark:"Are you on my team?"

James Rhodes:"Just represent! Pull!"

Tony Stark:"Alright, let's go!" [they both pull as hard as they can]

Everyone laughed even more.

Banner tries to lift the hammer, he roars as though pretending to change into the Hulk, and everyone either looks at him warily or grins.

Everyone cringes as Bruce hides his face.

Bruce Banner:"Huh?"

next Steve gets up to try

Tony Stark:"Let's go, Steve, no pressure."

Rhodey:"Come on, Cap."

Steve starts pulling on the hammer and manages to budge it a little; Thor looks a little alarmed. Steve still fails to lift it; Thor laughs with relief

"You almost lift it?!"

The Avengers shouldn't be surprised, but it was still a bit shocking to see Steve budge it a little while the others couldn't.

Thor:"Nothing."

Bruce Banner:"Widow?"

Natasha Romanoff:"Oh, no no. That's not a question I need answered."

Rhodey:"How about you Alex?"

Alex Romanoff:"Nah, I'm good."

"You only refused because you didn't want to be embarrassed like the rest of us."Clint point out, Alex shrugged.

Tony Stark:"All deference to the man who wouldn't be king, but it's rigged."

Clint Barton:"You bet your ass."

Maria Hill:"Steve, he said a bad language word."

The great hall snickers.

Steve Rogers: [to Stark] "Did you tell everyone about that?"

Alex Romanoff:"Sorry, Steve but it was me."

"Of course you did."Steve muttered, knowing how much Alex love to mess with him.

Tony Stark:"The handle's imprinted, right? Like a security code. "Whosoever is carrying Thor's fingerprints" is, I think, the literal translation?"

Thor:"Yes, well that's, uh, that's a very, very interesting theory. I have a simpler one." [he gets up, then lifts his hammer and flips it] "You're all not worthy." [there's a chorus of disagreement from the others]

There's a loud screeching noise, like microphone feedback, causing everyone to cover their ears. They let their hands down as it fades, and Tony pulls out his device. One of the Iron Legion suits, heavily damaged and housing Ultron's consciousness, stumbles into the room

Everyone cringed at the noise.

"What the bloody hell was that?"Ron asked.

Ultron:"Worthy... No, how could you be worthy? You're all killers."

Alex Romanoff:"What the...?"

Steve Rogers:"Stark."

Tony Stark:"JARVIS."

Ultron:"I'm sorry, I was asleep. Or... I was a-dream?"

Tony Stark: [tapping his device] "Reboot, Legionnaire OS, we got a buggy suit."

Ultron:"There was a terrible noise... and I was tangled in... in... strings. I had to kill the other guy. He was a good guy."

Steve Rogers:"You killed someone?"

Ultron:"Wouldn't have been my first call. But, down in the real world we're faced with ugly choices."

"What real world? He's a program that wasn't even created for that long so how would he know?"

Alex Romanoff:"Who sent you?"

Ultron: [Ultron replays a recording of Tony's voice] "I see a suit of armor around the world."

Bruce Banner:"Ultron!"

Ultron:"In the flesh. Or, no, not yet. Not this... chrysalis. But I'm ready. I'm on a mission."

Natasha Romanoff:"What mission?"

Ultron:"Peace in our time."

The walls explode, and several Iron Legion bots barge into the room. They begin attacking the team, who all go on the defensive and fight back. Rhodey gets knocked through a window.

"Shit." Everyone gasped and flinched.

"Were you okay?"Poppy asked, concerned. Rhodey nodded.

Maria Hill:"Rhodey!"

Alex and Banner climbs over the bar to avoid fire from the bots. Natasha grabs him and drags him down, and he lands on top of her.

Bruce Banner:"Sorry!"

Natasha Romanoff:"Don't turn green!"

Bruce Banner:"I won't!"

Some snicker at that.

The Avengers continue fighting the bots. One of the Iron Legion bots steals the Scepter.

Natasha Romanoff: [to Banner] "Come!"

The Avengers, while they are fighting back, are mostly trying to avoid getting hit.

Steve Rogers:"Stark!"

Tony is attacking one of the Iron Legion bots with a fondue fork.

"What the heck are you doing with a fork?"Rhodey asked.

Tony shrugged."It's the only thing I could get my hands on."

Iron Legion:"We are here to help."

Tony Stark:"One sec, one sec I got this!"

Iron Legion:"We are here to help..." [A half-destroyed Iron Legion bot uses its thrusters to hold itself aloft, advancing on Dr. Helen Cho.] "We are here to help... Is unsafe. Please back away."

Ultron:"Hmm." [The Iron Legion lowers its weapon, and Steve grabs it and throws it away for Thor to hit with his hammer.]

Steve Rogers:"Thor!"

Iron Legion: [Stark continues to try and attack of the Iron Legions with his fork] "It's unsafe. It's unsafe. It's unsafe."

Alex and Clint burst out laughing at what the bots say to Tony, while he still uses a fork to fight them off.

Tony Stark:"Come on! That's the one!"

Iron Legion:"It's unsafe." [He shuts it down and it falls to the floor. The fighting continues until Alex throws Cap's shield to him.]

Alex Romanoff:"Cap!"

Steve uses his shield to dismember the last Iron Legion bot

Ultron:"That was dramatic! I'm sorry, I know you mean well. You just didn't think it through. 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?" [he picks up one of the dismembered Iron Legion bots] "With these? These puppets?" [he crushes the Iron Legion bot's head] "There's only one path to peace: The Avengers' extinction."

The younger students looked on in horror, while the older ones tried to calm them down.

Thor throws his hammer and destroys Ultron's body

Everyone sighed in relief.

Ultron: [after Thor destroys his body, Ultron starts singing] "I had strings, but now I'm free. There are no strings on me, no strings on me." [we see Ultron has uploaded his consciousness in the abandoned Sokovia base]

"That was creepy."Lisa said, many agreed with her.

The Avengers are gathered in the lab

Bruce Banner:"All our work is gone. Ultron cleared out, used the internet as an escape hatch."

Steve Rogers:"Ultron."

Natasha Romanoff:"He's been in everything. Files, surveillance. Probably knows more about us than we know about each other."

Alex Romanoff:"He's in your files, he's in the internet. What if he decides to access something a little more exciting?"

Maria Hill:"Nuclear codes."

The one that know what those are gasped.

Rhodey:"Nuclear codes. Look, we need to make some calls, assuming we still can."

Natasha Romanoff:"Nukes? He said he wanted us dead."

Steve Rogers:"He didn't say dead. He said extinct."

"What? That's basically the same thing!"

Clint Barton:"He also said he killed somebody."

Alex Romanoff:"But there wasn't anyone else in the building."

Tony Stark:"Yes there was."

Tony bring up the now-destroyed 3D image of JARVIS' consciousness

Tony looked down, sadly.

Bruce Banner:"This is insane."

Steve Rogers:"JARVIS was the first line of defense. He would've shut Ultron down, it makes sense."

Bruce Banner:"No, Ultron could've assimilated Jarvis. This isn't strategy, this is...rage."

Alex Romanoff:"What the hell are we dealing with here?"

"A creepy, deadly version of Pinocchio."Sam said.

Thor barges in and grabs hold of Tony by his throat, holding him up

Many gasped as Thor suddenly grabbed Tony by the throat.

Clint Barton:"Woah, woah, woah! It's going around."

Tony Stark: [to Thor] "Come on. Use your words, buddy."

Thor:"I have more than enough words to describe you, Stark."

"Same" Wanda muttered.

Steve Rogers:"Thor! The Legionnaire."

Thor lets go of Tony

Thor:"Trail went cold about a hundred miles out but it's headed north, and it has the scepter. Now we have to retrieve it, again."

Natasha Romanoff:"The genie's out of that bottle. Clear and present is Ultron."

Dr. Helen Cho:"I don't understand. You built this program. Why is it trying to kill us?"

Tony starts laughing, Banner subtly shakes his head at him to get him to stop

Many stared at Tony in disbelief. The Potters gave him an accusatory look, since it's his fault it happened and he's laughing about it now.

Thor:"You think this is funny?"

Tony Stark:"No. It's probably not, right? Is this very terrible? Is it so... is it so... it is. It's so terrible."

"Yes it is!"Many exclaimed.

Thor:"This could've been avoided if you hadn't played with something you don't understand."

Tony Stark:"No, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. It is funny. It's a hoot that you don't get why we need this."

Bruce Banner:"Tony, maybe this might not be the time to-"

Tony Stark:"Really?! That's it? You just roll over, show your belly, every time somebody snarls."

Bruce Banner:"Only when I've created a murder bot."

Tony Stark:"We didn't. We weren't even close. Were we close to an interface?"

Steve Rogers:"Well, you did something right. And you did it right here. The Avengers were supposed to be different than SHIELD."

Tony Stark:"Anybody remember when I carried a nuke through a wormhole?"

The Potters and some of their friends rolled their eyes and scoffed.

Rhodey:"No, it's never come up."

Tony Stark:"Saved New York?"

Rhodey:"Never heard that."

Tony Stark:"Recall that? A hostile alien army came charging through a hole in space. We're standing three hundred feet below it. We're the Avengers. We can bust arms dealers all the live long day, but, that up there? That's... that's the end game. How were you guys planning on beating that?"

Steve Rogers:"Together."

Tony Stark:"We'll lose."

Steve Rogers:"Then we'll do that together, too." [Tony looks at him for a moment before turning away] "Thor's right. Ultron's calling us out. And I'd like to find him before he's ready for us. The world's a big place. Let's start making it smaller."
