Niah Bautista





Location: Pym's Lab
Skills: Handgun



Niah saw the cover removed and took her chance. She tried to unload the ICER into the newly opened hole. It didn't do any good, and then the damn gun malfunctioned and exploded. She wasn't hurt, but the now useless gun fell to the floor. "No." She said softly mostly to herself. Novikova was dead and this thing was trying to get out. She could only hope that the few shots that got into the arc reactor would serve as a distraction.

The others were busy, she could at least drag Pym away from Ultron. If that thing got out he was their best hope to stop it. Of course, she wasn't very strong so she wasn't able to get him very far away. She did put herself between him and Ultron just in case the robot would try to attack him again. Niah could only hope that there was enough going on that Ultron wouldn't have a chance to get to her or Pym before she could drag him farther away.

Harry McCormick


Location: Pym Technologies - San Francisco
Skills: N/A





Harry watched as Tinley managed to get Novikova to wake up, and the two of them proceeded to both use their abilities to try and pry open Ultron's chest which was actually successful. That is when Ultron suddenly turned his attention to both Tinley and Novikova and shot a repulsor blast at Novikova. The first one missing but seeing the second one managing to hit her directly in the chest, seeing the agent crashing against the wall, and Bonnie running over towards the agent. He looked at the wound seeing that it wasn't good at all and Bonnie pronouncing her dead.

Sparky went on the offensive now as well shooting lightening at Ultron as he noticed that the arc reactor was now getting damaged because of it as well seeing the sparks shooting off of it. Harry then turned his attention over towards Ultron and quickly went to turn on his weapon as the hand turned into a laser, but when it came out he couldn't even get a shot off as he saw some sparks coming off of it. "Oh c'mon!" Harry said groaning loudly as he tried to get the weapon to work again, but it wasn't any use at all as he looked over at Flynn for a moment who was standing in front of Bonnie he would help defending her as well.




Maria Smith


Location: Pym Technologies - San Francisco
Skills: Archery





Maria watched as Novikova started to finally wake up, and went to help Tinley expose Ultron's chest, as she started to get ready to notch another arrow Ultron turned his attention to her girlfriend. Time suddenly went still for her as she watched Novi getting shot in the chest, and hitting the wall. Then she heard Bonnie pronouncing her girlfriend was now dead as well, feeling tears starting to slide down her face. Maria quickly started to fire out three arrows directly at the arc reactor, she wanted to dismantle and tear Ultron apart now at this point.

She didn't care now and quickly ran over towards Novikova's body and knelt down next to her she wished that there could have been a way to protect her from that. Though they had not dated to long, they had met each other at the academy which was just a fling or two back then and after the HYDRA uprising they had gotten very close. She didn't care that there was a fight going on right now either as she started to breakdown and cried.




Cassandra Reed


Location: Pym Technologies - San Fransisco
Skills: Enhanced Condition, Hand to Hand Combat





Cassandra watched as Ultron turned his attention towards Tinley and Novikova once they had gotten up, Ultron fired off a repulsor blast at her fellow agent. She had gone down rather quickly as she looked over her shoulder as Bonnie went to try and tend to her, but the look on her friend's face said it all. Sparky then started to attack Ultron along with the spider-girl and Hawkeye, only really Sparky doing any damage to him and seeing Maria's arrows lodged into his chest only for the arc reactor in Ultron's chest to just spark.

Cass then ran forward, and tried to attack Ultron again, and now aimed directly at his exposed arc reactor, only for Ultron again to grab her after she managed to land a single punch on him. But that didn't even damage it any further as she was tossed back landing on her side after Ultron had tossed her to the side, noticing that the robot had opened up a hole for himself to escape.

Tinley Abercrombie and Tempest Renroir


Location: Pym Technologies
Skills: Hacking, Computer Science (Tempest), Force Field Generation (Tinley)



Tinley could only watch in horror as Ultron unleashed a counter-attack against the two of them, hitting Novikov and sending her spiraling back. Tinley didn't have to look twice to see that the girl was dead and no amount of healing from Tempest could fix it. Tinley clenched her fists and fought back any emotion other than anger. "Good, that will make killing you a lot easier!"

Meanwhile, Tempest followed closely behind Niah as she started to pull Pym away. "Umm, not sure that's a good idea since he's injured severely and all and, you know, I'm a healer. Pulling him away from me seemed silly." But Tempest could relate that there wasn't much either of them could do combat wise. So she tried to heal Pym, but his body was resisting heavily. However, she did manage to stabilize him. "Ok he's stabilized, but I can't heal him fully yet. I'm going to help the others."

She got up to the same computer, hacking into it again. She knew the Arc Reactor was the target and no one was able to crack it through weapon or power alone. So what better was to destroy it than to have its owner do the deed. She launched the code, feeling better now that she sent it, avoiding a glance at the corpse of Novikova.

She looked over to Tinley "He's about to blow!" Tinley needed to an explanation as she summoned a force field around Ultron as he attacked his own core. "Boom," was all she stated as Ultron blew up. She contained the explosion, fearful that if she didn't there would be more injuries. She dropped to her knees, exhausted now.

Tempest checked the computer and didn't like what she saw. "So...Ultron just exploded, but before he did he uploaded himself and sent it off. He could be anywhere in the world now. And I can't track him." Tempest resumed her healing of Dr. Pym, but found his body was still fighting her efforts. "Dr. Pym, I need you to try to relax your body and allow me to heal you. You aren't in critical condition anymore, but you still need to be healed."

Meanwhile, Tinley fought every urge to face Novikova's corpse. After all, it had been her fault. Again.

October: In an effort to defeat Ultron after he spread his presence on the Internet and made a new body for himself at a robotics laboratory, Hawkeye inducted the S.H.I.E.L.D. team into the Avengers. The Avengers Initiative had been a S.H.I.E.L.D. program to begin with and Fury turned a blind eye to the merged team. S.H.I.E.L.D. itself was too busy with HYDRA, as the organization tipped the war against S.H.I.E.L.D. in their favor due to Ultron crippling S.H.I.E.L.D.'s technology. As Avengers, the agents took on the following codenames: Psychia (Niah Bautista), Only Idiots Have Codenames (Raynor Blake), Bastet (Bonnie Chase), Firestorm (Freddie Flynn), Sparky (Theresa Sparks), Dominion (Tinley Abercrombie), Livewire (Tempest Renroir), Titanium (Cassandra Reed), Mockingjay (Maria Smith), and Reverse Iron Man (Harry McCormick).

The mission to eliminate Ultron completely was unsuccessful. Not only was Ultron still out there and replicating himself, but the team suffered great losses... Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, Black Widow, Hawkeye, and War Machine all gave their lives in the battle. Spider-Gwen sustained serious injuries and Ultron used the Hulk against them, dividing the team in an ultimately meaningless fight.

November: By this point, it wasn't just S.H.I.E.L.D. that Ultron disabled technologically. He recaptured Hank Pym and forced him to build a robotic army for him and threatening the lives of his wife and daughter, both of whom he held captive, Ultron's influence encompassed the world. The nation of Wakanda was one of the few places beyond Ultron's influence, thanks to the technological expertise of Shuri. Her brother T'Challa, the King and the Black Panther, left Wakanda and joined the remnants of the Avengers, along with Carol Danvers (Captain Marvel).

The Fantastic Four launched an attack against Ultron's base of operations in New York City (as where else would a villain settle?) but like the original Avengers team, it wasn't enough. Only the Invisible Woman survived, with Ultron sparing her life and instructing her to tell the other superheroes in the world that it was pointless to stop him. He had already won. A few superhero teams disbanded, with the X-Men being one of the only hold outs. The mutant based group had combined with Serval Industries' X-Factor team, as well as some remaining chapters of the Mutant Underground, and started to plan an assault.

December: The X-Men's assault plan never got to see the light of day. Ultron managed to corrupt Danger, the sentient Danger Room that they used to train. Danger brutally murdered the X-Men, broadcasting the murders worldwide in order to crush any remaining portions of hope. The X-Factor team was brought to Ultron by the Hellfire Club as a peace offering, beginning a deal of sorts - criminals had their lives spared and were allowed a semblance of autonomy within Ultron's organization, provided they brought him the heroes that would rebel against him - living or dead. Some members of the Brotherhood accepted this arrangement as well, but others defected and went into hiding.

Towards the end of the month, Luminous had been freed from the Raft by Ultron. She found the Avengers team and brought them to Ultron. They narrowly managed to escape with their lives, as Tempest used her hacking skills to temporarily stall Ultron. The Avengers team was able to get away, but Luminous tortured Tempest for information. She didn't reveal their base of operations. Luminous ripped out her heart.

January: The Avengers team was taking in more and more heroes, including Agent Roman Carter and a young teen from Queens - Spider-Man. He and Spider-Gwen worked well together, though Spider-Gwen eventually revealed that in her home reality, she had known a Peter Parker. His death had been her fault. It was too painful for her to be around him, so she left the team. They didn't find a body, so everyone assumed she either had disappeared or that Ultron had captured her.

T'Challa, the Black Panther, had managed to get information from his sister on a potential virus they could use to stop Ultron. The Avengers team took the virus and went to Ultron's lair. Although they were successful in installing it, it only momentarily stunned Ultron, before he adapted beyond it. T'Challa and Peter were killed in the escape attempt. To add insult to injury, Ultron then televised the executions of Dr. Pym and his family, seemingly having no use for the inventor any longer.

February: The team had smuggled themselves across borders and enemy lines, making it to the safety of Wakanda. T'Challa sister, Shuri, had taken up the mantle of the Black Panther. Although she was able to use her skills in hacking to keep Ultron out of Wakanda, there was only so much Wakanda could do. The team discussed it and recommitted themselves as Avengers, as agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., and they planned to evacuate people from a nearby concentration camp of sorts that Ultron had constructed.

This was the first victory for the team with everything that happened. They managed to get one hundred people to the safety of Wakanda, but it was not without sacrifice. Ultron managed to hijack control over one of the vehicles they were using for the evacuation and he blew it up, killing everyone on board. Harry McCormick had been the one driving that bus.

March: The world was more or less entirely under Ultron's thumb, with any living person either joining his organization (the criminals) or being sent to a work camp (everyone else). The vigilantes and the heroes were executed on live television, as a reminder that there was no hope in this world. The age of heroes had ended and this was the age of Ultron. Given that, Ultron could not tolerate Wakanda's existence any longer. Taking some powered individuals from one of his work camps, Ultron brainwashed them and sent them into Wakanda, pretending to be refugees.

Their powers were chosen in order to allow them to level the nation in a way Ultron could not. Some of them caused fires, some of them caused tornadoes, but the deadliest weapon Ultron used was disease. A young mutant girl brought back the Bubonic plague. Others Ultron sent then targeted the medical supplies, essentially giving the people of Wakanda a choice: die a gruesome death from disease or submit to Ultron's regime. Sparky was one of those who succumbed to the plague, as well as Director Fury.

Wakanda opened its borders and surrendered.

April: The team, alongside Shuri, had been placed in a detainment center and were being transported back to Ultron's headquarters. Once they reached New York City, they were saved by some unlikely allies: Spider-Gwen and Doctor Strange, Master of the Mystic Arts. The Sorcerer Supreme used his magic and transported them to the New York Sanctum, a place that he had disguised mystically so that way no technological being could find it. Ultron didn't even know that it existed. The sorcerers there helped to heal those who had fallen ill, using their powers to do something medicine could not.

Meanwhile, Ultron publicly executed the Queen of Wakanda.

May: More and more of the sorcerers at the New York Sanctum gave their lives in efforts to free people from captivity. In some cases, they were successful and the refugees were taken to the London or Hong Kong Sanctums, far away from Ultron's main base of operations. There was even some thought given to using magic to send them to another planet in the galaxy or potentially to send them across the multiverse into a different reality. For various reasons, all of these evacuation efforts failed. By the end of the month, Doctor Strange was the only sorcerer left in the New York Sanctum.

June: Ultron introduced his heir, the Vision, to the world. The synthezoid had been constructed earlier in the year, but only was now activated as Ultron felt the world had finally submitted to his dynasty. The remaining team members and Doctor Strange were considered public enemies, with large rewards being offered for any information to help locate them and the Sanctums. Somehow, Maria also got a hold of an Iron Patriot suit.

You are all that remains of the world - you are the last line of defense, the last bit of hope, the last shield.

New York Sanctum - New York: July 15th, 2021 - 7:00 P.M.

It had been an incredibly surreal nine months. No one could have predicted a devastation on this level was possible - no one had seen this coming. In hindsight, of course, the apocalyptic destruction of the world by Ultron made a scary amount of sense. The X-Men had averted an apocalyptic future at the hands of O.M.E.N. - so the universe decided to mix things up a bit, making an even worse future for the world come even sooner. Raynor Blake sat in a corner of the Sanctum by himself, sharpening his blade, Lytin. He hadn't been the most open book before Sparky died. Without her, he had started questioning what the point of all of this was lately. It was a surprising friendship formed with Spider-Gwen, with Raynor feeling like an older brother to the web slinger, that had kept him from saying screw it and just joining Ultron's regime.

"Hey, you wanna play a prank on Strange?" Spider-Gwen asked Raynor. Her hood was down, revealing a kind face. Her blonde hair was half shaved, creating an interesting mohawk sort of effect. In front of her, she had a little drum pad and she was absentmindedly hitting her drumsticks against it.

"Sure kid," Raynor said quietly, putting his knife away. "How exactly are you planning on pranking the wizard?"

Spider-Gwen shrugged. "You're old as dirt - maybe even older - figured you'd have an idea or two."

Over at the top of the staircase in the Sanctum, a makeshift medical area had been set up. Bonnie was busy tending to wounds that the Black Panther (Shuri), the Invisible Woman (Susan), and Captain Marvel (Carol) had obtained on their latest reconnaissance mission. She tried to approach each day with a fresh attitude, but her face was pale and her hair had dulled in color, losing a bit of its golden shine. Everyone here was capable of extraordinary things. They all had powers they could rely on in order to fight back against Ultron and his army. She, instead, was just a liability.

"There, just let me know if it looks like it gets infected or anything," she told Captain Marvel, finishing patching up her arm.

"You got it, Doc," Captain Marvel said with a smirk.

"Did you uh... Did you find anything?" Dr. Banner asked. He was working with Bonnie in the medical area, knowing that an out of control green rage machine wasn't exactly what they needed at the moment. Dr. Strange was at the bottom of the staircase, floating a few inches in the air as he meditated. He didn't seem to be in the most talkative mood at the moment.

"Yes. You will not like what we found," Shuri, Princess of Wakanda and the current Black Panther, told Banner and Bonnie grimly. They had managed to intercept some plans, taking out a small portion of Ultron-bots in the process. The designs, well...

"To use a Star Wars metaphor - Ultron is building his Death Star," Captain Marvel interjected.

"With the weapon he's building, and to describe it in non-Star Wars terms, he could potentially destroy any city or country on the planet... He probably could destroy the entire planet, or some other planet if he felt like it," Susan Storm explained.

Bonnie bit her lip slightly. Each time it seemed like Ultron couldn't possibly do any further damage, he managed it. She had to wonder how Novikova and Pym would have reacted, knowing that this was the price for saving their loved ones from the Quantum Realm. Sparky wasn't even still alive. Her eyes darted towards the corner, spotting the only survivors of the Quantum Realm left alive - Spider-Gwen and Raynor. Had their lives been worth all of this?

"...What's our play, then?" Bonnie asked softly.

Niah Bautista





Location: New York Sanctum
Skills:



Niah sat not far from the medical area reading a book on Quantum Physics. It was her third book on it. She had no idea if it could help, but she hated to sit idle and would be reading anything that seemed like it might help her understand the Quantum realm or time travel. Goose was in her lap and she happily had one hand distracted petting him, gently scratching under his chin. He was an odd comfort in such horrible and trying times.

She did hear the conversation going on in the medical area and was concerned about the implications. She knew Star wars well enough that Susan's explanation was unneeded. She frowned and paused in her reading. "Goose I think I need to step into the medical area and join this conversation. Want to join on my shoulder?" She offered. Niah wasn't certain how smart Goose actually was, but considering the tentacles that could come out of his mouth, she decided to play it on the safe side whenever dealing with him.

Roman Carter





Location: New York Sanctum
Skills: N/A



Agent Roman Carter was not in the best of moods on this particular day. Sitting on his bunk with a small mat before him, and various pieces of some metal object spread out across it. The man was staring at the pieces and trying to make sense of the idea occupying his mind. Ever since Ultron had turned against the world, Roman had wondered if perhaps he could do something about the rogue intelligence. Certainly with his inhuman abilities. Perhaps he could seize control of Ultron's intelligence? Roman wasn't sure, but he felt obligated to try at the very least. The object his lap might help him do exactly that, if he could figure out how the hell to make it all fit together and work in the first place.

What should have been an amplifier, something which could potentially increase his abilities and allow him to hijack Ultron was, however, completely beyond him. Unfortunately, Roman did not understand how to amplify his powers nor how to directly integrate the little device with his biology. He had not exactly learned how to interface with biological creatures, or what exactly his inhuman abilities necessarily involved. Sure he could use them, but he had no clue what exactly he was doing and then how to amplify his capabilities. The answer was surely there somewhere, he hoped. He wanted to be able to put an end to Ultron's reign of terror once and for all. Yet it seemed that would not be happening anytime soon. With an angry grumble, he collected the pieces from the mat and put them away for now as he realized he wasn't going to get anywhere with that. Roman needed better tools, and somebody with knowledge on how he could integrate with biology, and amplify inhuman abilities. The technology part of his pet project, that much he could do. It was just everything else that made it difficult. With a small huff, Roman made his way out from where he was, deciding to clear his mind and see what others were doing around the Sanctum.

Frederick Flynn


Location: New York Sanctum
Skills: N/A



The past few months had definitely not been the best, that was obvious enough. Flynn had been sticking close to Bonnie since everything started, worried about losing her. There were a lot of people who were gone now, and he didn't want to lose her at all, not if he couldn't help it. He was standing near her when the others showed up to talk about what Ultron's plans were, and this was definitely not good at all, a machine that could destroy the planet? What the hell could they do against something like that?

Now it was getting to the point where he wondered what the hell was even going on really, or why they even fought back. After all, Ultron was getting more powerful by the day, and soon he was likely going to wipe them all out. This was getting even more impossible the longer he thought about it, and no matter what they did the odds of Ultron killing them anyway or something anyway were high. He looked over at Bonnie now, and he was wondering what sort of plan they could come up with. His mind was racing through several different potential solutions, but he could not come up with anything really.

Goose looked up at Niah, "Mrow?" he said, pawing at her face a little bit and the pages of the book. He was really wanting someone to pet him, and he did want things to be back to what they were like before. Since everything happened, he had taken it upon himself to sort of be the "emotional support" animal in the group, and he took this sort of title very seriously, and right now he was thinking that maybe Niah needed some "help" as all she'd been doing recently was reading those books. It couldn't be very healthy.

When she made the comment about crawling onto her shoulder, he easily did, climbing up somewhat to sit on her shoulder somewhat. "Mrow?" he said again, and now he was starting to purr loudly and started rubbing his head up against her.

Cassandra Reed


Location: New York, New York City - Sanctum
Skills: N/A





Cassandra slowly walked out of her room that she made for herself in the Sanctum, she appeared to be very tired after hearing the news and watching her sister die she hadn't really recovered from it. Cass walked down the hallway until she was at the top of the stairs with the makeshift medical area that they had set up. Her hair right now was more of a mess with a few tangles and frizzed here and there as well, Cass started to think more and more that they should travel into the past to prevent it from happening in the first place. She looked over at those who were there.

Cassandra didn't like the idea of the weapon that Ultron was making, he could simply destroy an entire city if he could as she moved over towards Bonnie and gently patted her friend on the shoulder. "We could try time travel or something and that could prevent this from happening in the first place." Cass said, and she figured that they would just be fighting a slowly losing battle if Ultron could simply move to another body. "I think that's our best bet, right now the X-Men did it with the whole OMEN situation. But the weapon is also an issue as well."




Maria Smith


Location: New York, New York City - Sanctum
Skills: N/A





Maria sat at the bottom of the stairs she kept the Iron Patriot suit locked up in her room for the time being she wanted to keep it safe as well, she found it locked up while she was doing a supply run with some of the others. Maria felt very tired after everything that had happened. She was sitting in the corner as she was sharpening some arrows looking over at the others in the room, she was never the same really after seeing Ultron killing Novikova. She of course still blamed Tinley for mind controlling her in the first place as well.

Maria at times felt like she was alone as she eyed Raynor and Gwen as the two of them spoke, and stood up, she was pretty bored right now and she felt like pranking Strange would be a good way to lessen the boredom as well. "You could get a sharpie and start drawing on his face, or shave him completely bald so that he doesn't have eyebrows or a beard or hair." Maria suggested.

Tinley Abercrombie


Location: New York Sanctum
Skills: N/A



In a span of a couple of months, things went to shit.

Once things got super bad, she made calls to her family. To tell them to seek safety. She hadn't heard back from them but she had precious little time to think about that as she was still meant to lead. To lead the rest of her team (yes, she has to say rest of her team) through this. Novikova. Sparky. Tempest. Harry. All dead due to Ultron. Though that wasn't entirely true, was it? It was partly due to her. She had to take the blame for it. She put Novi directly in his line. It should have been her.

She echoed that thought as she stared at herself in the mirror, cracked due to a fist hitting it the other night. Fresh cuts on her hand now. She took a few moments to breathe in deeply. She swore every time she closed her eyes she saw one of them. Staring at her. Judgment in their eyes. And not only them. She knew Maria hated her. How could she not? And Raynor? God, she couldn't even imagine the hurt.

She was surprised that her badge wasn't taken. Or her job. Hell, throw her to the wild for all the good she had done. What had it all been for? Now the world was slowly inching its way to being completely fucked over and she was meant to stand tall and face it head on? Being a hero sucked.

But being a hero was what she wanted. And being a hero was what the world needed.

@BlueSky44@Kirah@Nallore@FantasyChic@Jasonhero
New York Sanctum - New York: July 15th, 2021 - 7:10 P.M.


Raynor gave Maria a slight nod at her suggestion, while Spider-Gwen did a flip out of excitement. "Yes!" she squealed, pleased with the idea. "Then he can be Dr. Egg. Did you guys have a Dr. Egg on this Earth - the villain in the Sonic the Mole series?" she asked. Raynor sort of shrugged, having not exactly kept up on video games and whatnot over the years. He had been more worried about finding Lana, and it broke his spirit to know that despite all of his work, he had failed her. She was one of the many casualties of Ultron. At this point, the number of people killed by the robot was so high it couldn't be counted. So many lives had been destroyed and all for what? So that way he and Spider-Gwen could live?

He wasn't a hero. He wasn't worth that sacrifice. "Kid, I have no idea what you're talking about," he admitted. As he glanced over at the meditating Sorcerer Supreme however, Dr. Strange's eyes opened and he shook his head slightly at the group. "It's Sonic the Hedgehog here," he corrected Spider-Gwen, his cape aiding him in his gentle descent as he walked over to the trio.

"And as the last remaining member of the 'awesome facial hair bros,' I have a legacy to carry on - for Stark's sake - and I am afraid shaving my head would not honor that," he told them with a slight smirk. Raynor couldn't help but notice how Dr. Strange tensed up whenever he was around. He figured that Strange must have found out about his past - it would explain the tension - but at least he had been kind enough not to tell people. He didn't know how the team would look at him if they knew the monster they had destroyed the world for.

Over in the medical area, Bonnie was wondering just what they were going to do. She didn't know too much about the time travel event the X-Men team had undergone, beyond what Cass had put in the mission reports about it, but she remembered that they had been assisted by a mutate named Thalia Maehers in order to accomplish it. She didn't know if it was possible through science or magic - and none of the people with powers there had the ability to go through time. "The X-Men had assistance though and odds are, Thalia Maehers is dead..." Bonnie said bluntly.

"So unless you can think of another possible way for us to travel through time without the person who made that sort of thing possible to begin with back then, I don't know how we'd be able to accomplish it. Not to mention in order to do that, you'd need to pick out a specific time and place to travel to, so how would you be able to ensure that we'd pick the right time? Or the right place?" the Invisible Woman posed, her voice steady and even. This was outside of her area of scientific expertise. Banner's was with gamma radiation, Bonnie's was with biochemistry, Niah's with forensics, and Roman's with machines. The Black Panther had true scientific genius, but she wasn't an expert in quantum mechanics and how to invent a time machine.

"Agent Carter and I can begin designs for a time machine," the Black Panther said anyways, eyeing the slightly antisocial agent. "If Dr. Banner could assist, I am sure we can come up with one. We have the smartest minds in the world under this roof."

"...It's not exactly my area," Banner admitted. He would do anything to bring back his son though and he nodded. He couldn't help but wish that Tony was here - Tony could probably figure out time travel while drunk and getting into a screaming fight with his daughter. "But we can try." It was the most anyone could ask, right? Just to try? They owed it to everyone who died to do at least that.

"And while the nerds figure out time travel, the rest of us can take out that weapon," Captain Marvel suggested. "Abercrombie, it's your call what we do. You're in charge." She didn't say that as much to inform Tinley as it was to remind herself. She was used to calling the shots and ignoring orders if she disagreed with them. She followed her conscience far more often than she did the chain of command.

A moment later, there was a knock at the front entrance to the Sanctum. Only magic users were able to see it and the door opened, allowing a small woman to slip inside and she shut it behind her. Instantly, Bonnie had drawn a gun and aimed it at her. Captain Marvel powered up. Dr. Strange produced two discs of magic around his hands, ready to fight.

"Relax, I am not here to kill you... Is this all that's left?" Wanda Maximoff, the Scarlet Witch, daughter of Magneto, and mutant terrorist asked.

Skills:



Niah kept a finger in the book, but let her free hand scratch Goose as she stood up and joined the others in the medical area. It wasn't a fantastic setup, but it sufficed. "I'll help." Niah said holding up the book. They all had to have known she had been obsessing over time travel since the postcard had appeared on her desk courtesy of Goose.

When the door opened her hand, that had been petting Goose, was at her ICER, which was pulled and pointed at Wanda as she entered. She lowered it slightly when Wanda spoke. She raised an eyebrow at her question. A lie came to her, but she kept it to herself. She holstered her gun, and let her hand go back to petting Goose. Niah wouldn't keep him from leaving her shoulder if he decided to go Lovecraftian horror on Wanda.

The man arrived where the others had all gathered up just in time to catch the group talking about time travel of all things. Moving towards the back of the group, Roman stood where he could listen in out of curiosity. The idea of traveling back in time to undo everything that Ultron had done... that sounded like a good option to the agent. Then he was suddenly addressed by the Black Panther, and the man gave a firm nod. "If the Wizards could teleport us somewhere that I could get some books or something on the Quantum Realm to start with, I can get the parameters the device will need to meet." He said firmly before the door suddenly opened.

Seeing the terrorist there, Roman swore as he realized he left his firearm by his bed. Not that he really would have too much of a choice, the Scarlett Witch would likely be able to tear through him with ease. Still, he would've liked some sort reassurance that she wouldn't get all freaky and kill them all. As the woman said that she wasn't here to kill them, Roman worried about it possibly being a lie. Could she be working with Ultron, manipulated by him perhaps? He wasn't sure, but was sure to keep himself on edge around her.

Flynn looked over at the others a bit, wondering why they were going on about how a time machine needs to be made, as if something like that was going to be the easiest thing ever to build. All of that stuff went right over his head, but it did not sound that simple. If it was really so easy to build a time machine, then why hasn't one ever been invented or built or anything like that? Yeah, so to him, them just going "Let's all build a time machine and hope it works!" was not the best idea. He was fine with Captain Marvel's idea though, since they might end up stuck with the world they had.

"Well, if you want my opinion on it, we should see about destroying the device... Since no offense to the people here, but I doubt a time machine is super easy to build, so we might need a backup plan in case that doesn't actually work... It is your call Abercrombie, but I'm with Marvel on this one, after all... If the time travel idea fails, we still have to deal with Ultron and the world we've got..." he said, shaking his head slightly, before he turned as the door opened, and of all people in stepped Wanda Maximoff. Holding... Is that a turtle? Why the hell did she have a turtle?

Goose was happy to have Niah scratching his head, and he was purring very loudly. However, when Wanda entered the area, he noticed how the room seemed to tense up, dumb hoomans. They don't ever know when someone is actually being helpful or trustworthy. He thought that maybe he should tell them everything was okay, since it didn't take a rocket scientist to realize that Wanda wasn't there to attack them or anything.

Hopping out of Niah's arms, he raced over to Wanda, and started rubbing up against her legs, purring loudly again. After a moment, he looked up at her and the turtle, tilted his head to the side, "Mrow?" he said, and it was obvious he was giving her a somewhat sympathetic look. Goose could tell that she was able to be trusted, she was a hooman who needed help too.

Skills: N/A





Cassandra looked over towards her friend Bonnie for a moment, it was true that they didn't have Thalia with them right now, either she was dead or just in hiding somewhere she wasn't sure at all. But it was the best option that she could think of at the moment, the weapon was certainly going to be their biggest problem as well since it could easily destroy them. She started to think a little bit, and thought of something, but it was probably a really bad idea and decided to put it in the back of her head for the time being. "Well it's the best option otherwise we are stuck here."] Cass said with a slight shrug and looked at Niah. "But before we did go to Pym, Niah had the card Goose had with a time and date if I remember right. So we do have a time date and location."

Then the door opened Cass quickly drew out her ICER and aimed it at Wanda, as she raised an eyebrow towards her for a moment, and moved down the stairs. And noticed that she was holding a turtle, and remembered it was Mr. Dribbles the turtle that Wanda had given her brother Pietro after the whole OMEN incident. She then holstered the handgun looking over at the others, she remembered Pietro was also a member of the X-Men. "I do believe she is actually really here to help us." Cass said, knowing that she had lost her sister the same way as well.

Maria looked towards Gwen and shook her head slightly, she was about to answer when Dr. Strange finished mediating and started to approach them and smirked slightly and shook her head. "We could at least shave your eyebrows or something."] Maria said with a slight shrug, as she looked over at Gwen. "But yeah we have Sonic the Hedgehog here, lots of games TV shows and I think a live action movie as well." Maria said, as she turned to look over at the door when she heard it open seeing a woman walking into the room. And seeing who it was she was about ready to launch an arrow as well just as the others got ready.

Then she started to lower her bow as Cass walked over towards her, she still wasn't really trusting of her at all as she looked over at the others. "So, why are you here exactly, doesn't your father work for Ultron or something?" Maria asked, she wasn't trusting to much right now and she was also ready to attack if needed.

Tinley Abercrombie


Location: New York Sanctum
Skills: N/A



Tinley turned to face the others now, brutally aware of their presence. She still had to lead. And decisions had to be made. Good points were brought up on both sides. Should she make the wrong call, it would be disastrous. Probably more people dead. All eyes on her as she had to decide. "All right. The time machine is a go. I want brilliant minds working on it, but that weapon needs to go. That is a fact and that is where I want firepower directed at. So we proceed with taking that down. As Flynn said, in case the time machine fails the weapon will still exist."

Before she could continue, Wanda waltzed in. She eyed the others gear up for a fight, in case the known terrorist tried something. However, it would be silly. As powerful as Scarlet Witch was, she walked into a room with people willing to end her then and there. Even if their numbers were small, they could take her down.

"Arms down everyone. If she wanted to, she could have caused trouble before she even entered. Granted, I don't trust you as far as I can throw you, and that's pretty far mind you, but you are here for a reason. So speak. And know that if you try anything you will be swiftly put down." She glanced over to Flynn and to Captain Marvel with a single nod, hoping they got the message to watch her in case she tried anything.

@BlueSky44@Kirah@Nallore@FantasyChic@Jasonhero
New York Sanctum - New York: July 15th, 2021 - 7:20 P.M.


The course of action was settled then - the science inclined members of the team would work out the logistics of a time machine, while the rest were going to hopefully destroy Ultron's weapon before he could unleash it on the world. It had the benefit of attacking the problem from both angles, but it also reduced the numbers working on each approach. Roman's request for the sorcerers to teleport them ended up going unanswered sadly, as practically everyone in the room was distracted by the arrival of Wanda Maximoff. Captain Marvel nodded at Tinley and she powered down per her request, but Dr. Strange kept his magic discs up, not about to just trust Wanda. This was his domain, after all - the Sanctum was his to defend and he had made that vow when he became its master.

"You know, we have a Scarlet Witch on my earth," Spider-Gwen told her companions near her. "She's a founding member of the Avengers there... but I am guessing from your trigger happy reactions, she's not as friendly here?"

"She's a wanted terrorist, implicated in an attempt to release a biological weapon on New York City, escaped the Raft countless times...Stole cutting edge technology from too many companies to count... " Raynor explained to Spider-Gwen, filling in just a few choice moments from the Scarlet Witch's criminal history. While her twin brother Quicksilver was reformed and her sister Polaris worked with the Mutant Underground, Wanda still ran with the Brotherhood. Raynor almost forgot about Plasma, the other Magneto kid - last he remembered, she had gone into witness protection.

Dr. Strange nodded slightly at Raynor's assessment and explanation. "We keep a list of individuals with mystical powers who are a threat to the universe and the multiverse... The Scarlet Witch is on that list, ranked even higher than the Asgardian Loki." The Sorcerer Supreme was supposed to protect the world from mystical threats, leaving the Avengers and others to handle the more concrete, gritty physical ones. Scarlet Witch was a unique villain who fell into both categories. Whatever she was here for, Strange was sure it was nothing good.

Wanda raised a slight eyebrow, before she gave Goose a slight scratch behind his ears. She then put Mr. Dibbles down on the ground, in order to let the turtle have some freedom to move. He didn't like being carried around all day and Wanda could hardly blame him. "Yes, my father works for Ultron," she answered Maria. Her eyes then locked onto Tinley, figuring out that she was the leader. "I'm here for revenge. Ultron killed my brother... my only real family. I want to make him pay for that." Her accent was thick and Eastern European - Serbian, to the more discerning ear.

"...I can understand your wish to avenge your brother, as from what I know, the two of you were fairly close for a long time..." the Invisible Woman said softly, giving Wanda a bit of a smile, "Most of us have lost someone along the way... I'm willing to give her a chance, but that is just my opinion..."

She nodded slightly. "Pietro was my twin... We were connected." Her eyes darted around the room, not expecting them to trust her but she was certain that if they teamed up, then they would be able to bring Ultron's empire to its knees.

"Why reach out to us now?" Bonnie asked. "The X-Men died in December - Quicksilver's been dead for months," she pointed out. It didn't make sense to her that Wanda would wait seven months to get vengeance for her fallen brother. To her, this entire situation felt like a trap and she tensed up slightly. As much as she knew there were people with extraordinary powers in here, they hadn't been enough to stop Ultron... The Scarlet Witch could easily be how some of them died today.

Dr. Banner was silent, doubtlessly thinking over the logistics of time travel and the chance of seeing his son alive again. The Black Panther was studying Wanda, potentially debating as well whether she could be trusted. "You yourself worked for Ultron after your brother died," Captain Marvel pointed out to Wanda, crossing her arms slightly.

Wanda nodded slightly. "To get him to trust me... To learn what makes him vulnerable... Serval Industries was making a techno-organic virus before Ultron came into power... It can kill him."

Niah Bautista





Location: New York Sanctum
Skills:



Niah winced slightly as Goose leaped from her shoulder, she then rotated her shoulder stretching it. He was a good cat...or whatever he was. She wasn't certain if she completely trusted his opinion, but she guessed if he was gonna rub up on Scarlet Witch that way then he probably trusted her, with whatever metric he used to decide with people he trusted.

While Niah had proven she was decent at infiltration due to her powers, she still wasn't a fighter not in her core. She had spent the last months instead learning about Quantum Physics and with that knowledge she was frustratingly the expert on the subject. A frown crossed her face, it was stupid. She had always been intimidated by Novikova because of how intelligent she was and now here Niah was struggling to understand Novikova's subject in hopes that she could save her, and everyone else who had died.

"Well I guess us brilliant minds will get to work on the other project, and those of you less science minded people can get to work on that." Niah vaguely said quietly and then added even more under her breath "Hopefully one of us succeeds." She moved over to Dr. Banner and nodded at him. "I've got a couple of ideas I've been thinking over."

Cassandra looked at everyone in the room as Scarlet Witch set down the turtle to move around freely now, as she looked over towards her friend Bonnie when she pointed out. She did have her own personal thoughts that Scarlet Witch shouldn't be trusted, but there weren't many of them left to fight against Ultron. But she was more focused on working on building the time machine that could hopefully fix the mess that they had ended up making. Cassandra looked at those in the room that would be with her working on their little project, Scarlet Witch was probably going to be with on the team who was going for the weapon.

"Alright so, any thoughts on how to start building the thing?" Cassandra asked, as she figured letting the others deal with the weapon, she turned towards Bonnie for a moment and gave her friend a slight nudge. Even though quantum phsycis wasn't Bonnie's field she still knew that her friend would be able to help out however she could.

Maria turned towards Tinley seeing that she had greenlighted on both missions, she wasn't to thrilled having to work with her but then again she wasn't the sciencey type of person anyway. Though it did bring back some memories of her and Novikova, Maria closed her eyes and sighed a little bit, she really didn't trust working with Scarlet Witch either seeing as she also admitted her father worked for Ultron now as well. "Awesome, knowing that your father is working for Ultron." Maria said crossing her arms as she looked towards her seeing that she had given some intel.

"So, where is the weapon that he's building at then?" Maria asked, she really did want to take out the Iron Patriot suit out for a real run for once as well. Looking over at Scarlet Witch for a moment she wasn't going to really believe her intel about the weapon unless she had proof that it was actually there. "Got any proof on the virus that it is actually still there?" Maria asked her.

Everyone was more or less on edge and Tinley couldn't blame them. If what Scarlet Witch said was true, there was a potential way for them to take down Ultron easily. But there would be a catch. There was always a catch. "I take it obtaining this virus will not be easy. So I imagine that's why you're here. I can get behind revenge. Bastard took from me too. If you know about it, does that mean Ultron knows about it?"

Her ultimate plan was to wipe Ultron out. That would solve problems, but there would still be people dead. If the time machine could be fixed, they could go back and wipe Ultron out there, preventing the destruction of so much.

Either way, Ultron would die. She would see to that.

"As you can tell, my team doesn't really trust you. So any proof you have would be welcomed. If what you say is true, then we at least have a goal in mind and can plan."

Alright, so it seemed that his suggestion was going to be ignored in favor of focusing on the terrorist. Something that irritated the agent a little bit, but at the same time was completely understandable. Watching them all talk amongst themselves, he wondered how much they could really trust the Scarlett Witch. She was a known terrorist, and had been working for the super-murder bot himself for quite a bit in the recent years. Now she was claiming it was to make him trust her? Roman wasn't sure he entirely bought that, but he wasn't exactly a lie detector himself.

Hearing that her father worked for Ultron made the agent audibly swear. Magneto was kinda an opponent he had a very hard time dealing with. Since his greatest weapons were usually quite privy to the mutant's powers. He let out an audible sigh at the mention of a virus. "Ultron is an Artifical Intelligence. That means he thinks, exponentially faster than any human, and he's on the internet. He can create infinite copies of himself to slow down any virus while he figures out how to beat it. I'm going to need to know how this virus works, before I'll buy even a bit of what she is saying." Roman said, speaking up from the back of the group, but making his concerns with an anti-Ultron virus very known.
