It seemed that the heroes were more or less self selecting based on education level, dividing into two groups: the brains and the brawn. Those who could fit into either category could more or less choose where to go, of course - as it would be insane to suggest that the Hulk didn't easily fit into the [i]brawn[/i] group. He was practically their figurehead - him or Captain Marvel, really. [color=8dc73f]"I'm all ears, Dr. Bautista,"[/color] he said, using Niah's title since Niah had a PhD, earning her the right to be called a [i]doctor[/i]. The Black Panther nodded at Cassandra, as she asked if anyone had any thoughts on how exactly to go about building a time machine. [color=847296]"Vibranium,"[/color] she said simply. [color=847296]"All of our achievements in technology in Wakanda came from it - I see no reason why a time machine wouldn't need that metal as well,"[/color] she reasoned. At the mention of her home country, the sparkle in Shuri's eyes seemed to dim slightly. The last time they had been in Wakanda... things hadn't ended well. They had lost people. [color=f6989d]"I'm not an engineer - so just point me where you need me and I'll do my best,"[/color] Bonnie said. Time travel and all was out of her skill set, but she had a sharp scientific mind and several doctorate degrees. She had been working at S.H.I.E.L.D. long enough to know that she could do anything if she put her mind to it, and besides, she had Cass with her. Their little partnership was back together. [b][i]The Muscles Brigade - Right Side of the First Floor...[/i][/b] [color=red]"I don't know where the weapon he's building is,"[/color] Wanda muttered. [color=red]"If I did, I would have used it to destroy Ultron myself."[/color] She didn't like anymore than they did that she had to come to these people for help, but she was out of options. She needed someone to help her upload the virus while she manipulated the probability fields around Ultron. If the X-Men hadn't perished, she would have just asked her future sister in law to help - of course, would Wanda even be doing this if her twin brother hadn't been killed with the rest of his team? If Quicksilver was still alive and working for Ultron as well, would she care? She then reached into her pocket and paused for a moment, before pulling out a crinkled sheet of paper. [color=red]"I found this,"[/color] she said, opening the paper up. It was an email between two Serval Industries employees, discussing the organo-techno virus they were working on developing for a client. [color=red]"Ultron may know about it, but like your irritating friend, he doesn't think a virus can hurt him."[/color] Wanda held out her hands, little wisps of red appearing around them. [color=red]"I can manipulate the probability fields - make the probability high that this virus will stop him from replicating himself."[/color] Mr. Dibbles, being a turtle, didn't really know what was going on. He just saw a giant red cat in front of him and the turtle decided that he liked the cat, so Mr. Dibbles walked forward slowly and booped Goose with his head. Dr. Strange hadn't yet walked on over to the other side of the room with the rest of the nerds, preferring to keep the mystical threat in his sights until he knew whether or not she could be trusted. He smirked slightly as Flynn pointed out one of his prized possessions - the Time Stone. He was charged to protect it as the Sorcerer Supreme and he knew the dangers of messing with the laws of reality. From what he understood, using time travel to avert one crisis only ensured that a larger, greater threat would come along one day. The X-Men had stopped an apocalyptic future for mutants - and now, here they were, with an apocalyptic future for all life on the planet. [color=53A981]"Yes, I am in possession of the Eye of Agamotto - a relic powerful enough to contain the Time Stone,"[/color] Strange answered. [color=53A981]"I must warn you - its use cannot be done lightly. To use an infinity stone to unravel time as you described... there will be a price to pay. Not only would at least one of you perish, but a greater crisis will emerge in an attempt to replace this one... The X-Men didn't understand this and now look, Ultron is supreme."[/color] Captain Marvel didn't even hesitate. [color=F86A6A]"And we'll be ready to face that threat when it comes. We're soldiers. This is what we do."[/color] She rubbed her fists slightly, thinking about the enormous power that flowed through her veins. She wasn't going to let the world end out of fear - she was going to save it, no matter the sacrifice. Higher, further, faster - that was her motto and she was going to live by it no matter what. Raynor stared at the Scarlet Witch, before he nodded slightly. She had been a terrorist and she lost someone she cared about. How was that not his own life story? He had done horrible things, terrible things that he couldn't be absolved of no matter how much he tried to put things right. [color=d86615]"I can babysit her. If she makes a wrong move, I'll fry her,"[/color] he offered, glancing over at Tinley for approval. [color=D3589F]"Yikes, you guys must really hate her... Anyways, how are we going to destroy this weapon thingy? Or are we going after the Ultron killing virus first? Or both?"[/color] Spider-Gwen asked. She was bouncing lightly from one foot to the other, psyching herself up for a day of fighting for their lives.
