They weren't in the position to be choosy with their allies, as Ultron already won. He had control over the entire planet, he had enslaved the human race, and at the rate things were going, the entire universe was at stake. Sure, Doom had done some horrible things in his life but unlike Ultron, he never succeeded. [color=847296]"All the vibranium we have,"[/color] Shuri instructed Cass, before she went over to her workbench and started pulling out specialized tools and processors. Once she had grabbed them, Strange used his eldritch magic and floated them on through the portal, beginning to make a neat and tidy pile on the other end inside the New York Sanctum of what they would need. Doctor Doom wasn't helping too much with the unloading of supplies, but he did grab some plans and schematics. They weren't the first people to come up with the entire time travel idea. [color=377E4B]"The Eye of Agamotto..."[/color] he mused, recognizing the trinket around Strange's neck. [color=377E4B]"Why not just use that?"[/color] he coughed. [color=53A981]"I've informed them already that that would be our last resort,"[/color] Strange replied curtly. Between his magic, as well as the assistance of the others there, they would be able to get everything they could possibly need through the portal in time. Doom laughed slightly. [color=377E4B]"You have the most powerful device for time travel in existence and you - and you come to Wakanda to build an inferior one from scraps?!"[/color] he scoffed, shaking his head. Maybe he had been wrong to expect that these people could pull it off. [color=53A981]"If you knew anything about the Eye of Agamotto, you would know the grave cost and dangers of using an infinity stone. Compound that with the dangers of messing with the timeline, how averting one crisis will inevitably bring another one along later on... It is too great a risk to the multiverse."[/color] [color=377E4B]"No, no you're just too [i]scared[/i] to bend the rules,"[/color] Doom taunted. [color=57A2EC]"Shut up already Victor."[/color] Shuri was wondering whether the Sanctum would have enough room for the combined egos of Doom and Strange. [color=847296]"Come on, children,"[/color] she scolded. The Invisible Woman helped Victor von Doom through the portal, Shuri then went through, and once Cass, Niah, and Roman had gone on through, Doctor Strange followed them and shut the portal behind him, leaving the Wakandan lab empty.

He knew better than to say anything right now, given that Captain Marvel was clearly incredibly pissed off at him for his behavior. People grieved in different ways. He was perpetually grieving for Sparky and his mind just couldn't take much more of this. Of course, this world was still better than the reality he had come from, as he wasn't from Earth-666 (the universe designation of this reality). He came from Earth-257. And since Spider-Gwen also wasn't from this universe, it drove him closer to her. She was dead too. He hadn't been able to protect her, just as he hadn't been able to protect Sparky. [color=8dc73f]"We could ask To-,"[/color] Banner quickly cut himself off. Even though his friend was long since dead, his mind had instantly thought of Iron Man when it came to inspecting the Vision to see if he was still being controlled by Ultron. It was a shame that they had sent all of the geniuses off to Wakanda, as he would have liked to get someone to inspect the Vision as soon as possible and robotics wasn't Banner's area of expertise. Neither was time travel - he was liable to accidentally turn someone into a baby if he messed up. [color=F86A6A]"Then let's go now,"[/color] Carol told Tinley, her arms crossed. [color=F86A6A]"We have the virus. Ultron won't be expecting us to instantly go and attack him, after losing two of our own. He also might not know that we have the Vision on our side yet."[/color] [color=8dc73f]"I'll come on the mission to destroy things. The other guy... he's uh, he's insisting on it,"[/color] Banner said, tapping his hand against his head slightly to signify that he was talking about the Hulk. [color=8dc73f]"I'm rubbish at building time machines anyways..."[/color] He left off the real reason why - he didn't believe that time travel was possible, that it could really work. Sure, his son had experienced some time travel with the X-Men but that was thanks to a magical human-dragon hybrid. He didn't know if they'd be able to replicate whatever Thalia Maehers had pulled off here. [color=red]"I'm going too - I want Ultron's head,"[/color] Wanda said firmly. It was probably a good idea for her to go anyways - magic was always a weakness of Ultron's. The group from Wakanda then came through a sling ring portal, along with the supplies they would need to build the machine. Fortunately, it seemed that Bonnie was their only loss - but they had gained someone else. Everyone in the room would recognize Victor von Doom, more commonly known as Doctor Doom. [color=A49C63]"That is... unexpected,"[/color] the Vision murmured. [color=A49C63]"The odds of your appearance, Dr. von Doom, were 1.2% at best."[/color] [color=F86A6A]"Okay, what the hell is it with villains deciding to join the good guys for once?!"[/color] Marvel snapped. She didn't trust the Scarlet Witch. She didn't trust the Vision. And now, here was yet [i]another[/i] villain being allowed to walk straight into the heart of their operations. [color=53A981]"He made a pact. His life for the survival of this universe,"[/color] Strange answered simply. He held out his hand and the sling ring flew from Flynn's grasp, returning to its owner and Strange slipped the metallic ring away into his pocket.
