[color=d86615]"When his back is turned and they're all geeking out, take a shot,"[/color] he whispered to his fellow SHIELD agent. [color=d86615]"I'll keep them from stopping you."[/color] It would be a two person effort and it would be mostly improvised. He wondered though if Flynn actually had it in him to kill someone. Raynor didn't need to ask that question about himself - he had killed before. He had hurt a lot of people in his old life, so many that he had long since lost count. Pym stared at Niah as if she had grown three heads and told him that the moon was made out of cheese. The brilliant scientist was actually left speechless as he tried to comprehend everything that she had told him. Project Ultron was a peacekeeping initiative - how was it able to probe the Quantum Realm? And what really even was the Quantum Realm? And what was a mutant? At least one thing she said made some sense - Stark probably messed up with the programming or something. [color=697017]"... So if you're from the future, I'm going to need proof,"[/color] he said. [color=697017]"Tell me, who are the next few presidents and what happens to Nelson Mandela?"[/color] he asked. He figured those questions would be easy enough for him to detect if these people were lying or crazy. [color=53A981]"So he was always an asshole,"[/color] Strange observed, murmuring conspiratorially to Roman. His eyes flickered over to Flynn and Raynor, before leaning in to whisper to the young man by his side. [color=53A981]"In a few moments, one of those two will attempt to kill Dr. Pym,"[/color] he said softly, winking a bit. [color=57A2EC]"Look Pym, we don't have much time for this. The future of the entire world is at stake because of your robot that takes over the world. In our time the robot ended up executing you, your daughter, and your wife on live television for the world to see."[/color] Pym's expression hardened - it was obvious to see why. All around the lab, there were drawings done by a little kid - there were even a few pictures of Pym, his wife, and their little girl, Hope. [color=697017]"This isn't funny,"[/color] he scolded Susan, assuming (and hoping) that this was all an elaborate hoax. [color=697017]"Did Stark put you up to this nonsense?"[/color] [color=57A2EC]"I wish it were Doctor, however considering the fact that we went through the trouble of getting here should say a lot. Not to mention why the hell would we come here because of Stark? Though his son is on the list of many people who died. But it isn't just your family who dies because of your creation. We're talking about thousands of people died because of it, so are you really wanting to take the chance that I'm lying? Or are you wanting to flat out ensure that something like that never happens?"[/color] [color=697017]"....What would you have me do?"[/color][hr][hr][center][h3][color=84B4E2][b]Stark Tower - New York: July 15th, 2021 - 10:20 P.M.[/b][/color][/h3][/center][hr][hr][hider=Notes][u]Explosions + Assault Squad[/u][list] [*]Goose [*]Banner [*]Scarlet Witch [*][color=84B4E2]Cass[/color] [*][color=84B4E2]Tinley[/color][/list][/hider] On the penultimate floor of Stark Tower (with the top floor being the roof for technicalities purposes), Ultron was there almost entirely alone. The only other individual up there was [url=https://i.pinimg.com/originals/b3/36/c1/b336c135d82ea0ade51e4568e7bec785.jpg]Jocasta[/url], his wife. Her silver coating was almost reminiscent of Emma Frost's diamond form, though there was something familiar in the way that she carried herself. No one there would be able to quite put their finger on it, though even her voice was haunting, as if it belonged to someone else. [color=3DC22F]"Vis - my dearest, what have they done to you?"[/color] Jocasta asked. It would then occur to Cass and Tinley why her voice was so familiar. Jocasta had the voice and mannerisms of Janet van Dyne, the Wasp. The last they saw the Wasp, she had been executed along with her family on television by Ultron - so why would he base his wife off of her likeness? And why is there something eerily [i]human[/i] about this robot in comparison to her husband and son? [color=A49C63]"Jocasta,"[/color] Vision greeted. [color=A49C63]"I sustained some injuries at the hands of these rebels - nothing that maintenance cannot fix,"[/color] he assured her. Wanda found it a bit creepy how comfortable the machine was being with Jocasta and Ultron, raising alarm bells in her mind that maybe this had been a trap all along - maybe it had been a long con. Had Ultron orchestrated all of this, knowing that the world's last line of defense would go all out on this suicide mission? But then, Wanda realized that it didn't matter. She was going to kill Ultron all the same. Ultron chuckled slightly, moving his arms out to his sides. [color=9E1105]"I have to admit, I was expecting a more... [i]formidable[/i] force. Is this really the best humanity has to offer now?"[/color] he shook his head slightly. [color=9E1105]"Little girls, a cat, and their pet Hulk - how [i]quaint[/i]."[/color] [color=3DC22F]"Are your scanners malfunctioning again? That's not a cat,"[/color] Jocasta corrected Ultron. Ultron quickly recalibrated himself. [color=9E1105]"A [i]Flerken[/i]? Now THAT'S more like it!"[/color] The Hulk wasn't really in the mood for talking. He let out a huge roar, bits of his spit flying and covering Ultron, but the android hardly even budged. The Hulk then swung his fist, only for it to connect with Ultron's hand - and Ultron [i]grabbed the Hulk[/i]. Smirking slightly, Ultron couldn't help but goad slightly. [color=9E1105]"Oh, come now Dr. Banner, you didn't think it would be that easy? Why, you might as well just let the cat fight me, it'd be more of a challenge!"[/color] he taunted, before swinging and throwing the Hulk off the tower. [color=red]"Stay back, kitty,"[/color] Wanda instructed, before red energy came from her hands, legs, and eyes as she floated up into the air. She then began to manipulate Ultron's density, attempting to make him impossibly heavy and send the machine plummeting to his grave. The robot started to go down, only for what could only be described as mechanical spider legs sprouted from his back and clung to the ceiling to present him from falling. Jocasta then charged at Wanda, sending off a blast of energy to distract her and protect her husband. [color=3DC22F]"You should have let the cat go first,"[/color] Jocasta chided Wanda, sending off another blast of energy only for the Vision to fly in front of the Scarlet Witch and take the blast for her. [color=3DC22F]"Vis!"[/color] Jocasta screamed, clearly panicked. [color=A49C63]"Systems...Мрзим вас, г-дине тестисе... Te amo bruja escarlata... critical..."[/color] Vision glitched, his entire body sparking. It seemed he had finally taken enough damage to prevent him from getting back up - their synthezoid was dead. And of course, since our heroes' luck cannot possibly get any worse, Ultron noticed Tinley going over to the terminal. [color=9E1105]"Go on, then. Try - it won't work,"[/color] he sneered.
