[*]Invisible Woman
[*]Strange
[*][color=84B4E2]Niah[/color]
[*][color=84B4E2]Roman[/color]
[*][color=84B4E2]Flynn[/color]
[*][color=84B4E2]Raynor[/color][/list][/hider]
	Before the others had a proper chance to react to Flynn's murder of Pym, Strange took action. He had seen these possibilities before and had hoped that Roman would heed his words and stop Pym's murder - it was the easiest option he had foreseen. Unfortunately, Roman didn't seem to act fast enough, still just remaining quiet and standing there. The Sorcerer Supreme instead had to fall back to Plan J. Using the Eye of Agamotto and the Time Stone it contained, he temporarily froze time for a few precious seconds. 

	[color=53A981]"The timeline will begin to take hold soon,"[/color] he warned Niah quickly. [color=53A981]"I've gathered that the most likely outcome would be an even [i]bleaker[/i] future - one caught in a war between the cyborg Tony Stark and the enchantress Morgan le Fay. I'm going to send you back to when we arrived here and you'll have another chance, Dr. Bautista, to get this right. In fact, I'm going to fold time around you into a loop - the loop will only break once either you die or you succeed in averting an apocalyptic future in 2020."[/color]

	Dr. Strange then made a complicated series of hand gestures and Niah was surrounded in a green light, so intense it would blind her. And the next thing she would know... [hr][hr][center][h3][color=84B4E2][b]The Hub - San Fransisco: March 5th, 1984 - 10:10 A.M.[/b][/color][/h3][/center][hr][hr]	Having just been transported by Dr. Strange from the Baskin Robbins, the group finally arrived at the Hub in San Fransisco. It was just a little past ten in the morning and already, the halls were busy with people rushing to and fro. Some of them were in nice dress clothes, other military uniforms, and even a few of the harried workers had lab coats on. None of them really took notice of the little group, with Strange smirking to himself. 

	[color=53A981]"Sorry, I hate public transportation,"[/color] he explained. For Niah, she would have an incredible sense of déjà vu. She would remember seeing Flynn kill Pym just seconds ago and Strange's solution, but no one else would. To everyone else, this was the first time they had arrived here - the first time they would spot the phone and directory on the wall not too far away from them. That would be useful - they might want to get in contact with Pym or Fury, after all. 
		
	[color=57A2EC]"This was a lot quicker anyway,"[/color] Susan agreed. 

	[color=53A981]"Now, Dr. Bautista, if you would like to call Dr. Pym or Mr. Fury, that would be wonderful,"[/color] Strange said. Right on cue, a small red kitten came up to Niah and started to rub up on her a little bit, purring as if they had already met that day.

	[color=d86615]"... Fuck, is that Fury's cat?"[/color] Raynor asked, a bit shocked. [hr][hr][center][h3][color=84B4E2][b]Stark Tower - New York: July 15th, 2021 - 10:30 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]
	For Cass, her legs would feel like they were live wires. It had all happened so suddenly, the searing pain that knocked her down to the ground. She wouldn't understand what had happened - she had no awareness that she wasn't organic matter, that she was just a glorified machine. Her memories were her own, weren't they? She'd be able to remember everything - from her sister's face to the early years of S.H.I.E.L.D. and to Ultron's supremacy. Maybe Ultron had hit her with a nerve gas of some sorts - yes, that would explain her sudden pain, wouldn't it?

	[color=9E1105]"I always thought of myself as more of a Siri,"[/color] Ultron mused, clearly enjoying Tinley's torment. Goose, Wanda, and Tinley were the only beings made out of organic matter left here. Shuri was back at the Sanctum along with Dr. Doom - perhaps it would be a good time to try to contact the cavalry and call them in, or should Tinley not send out the call and let someone else take up the mantle of humanity's last hope? 

	[color=3DC22F]"Don't strain yourself, dear,"[/color] Jocasta told Cass, shaking her head slightly. [color=3DC22F]"It's just a nasty bit of malware, your antivirus will clear it out in a moment..."[/color] The robot was quiet for a moment, contemplating what else Cass had said - about Ultron controlling her and her son, Vision. [color=3DC22F]"Everyone is controlled by someone, Virginia. Free will... is an illusion held by organic beings."[/color]

	[i]Virginia[/i]? Now why would Jocasta call Cass by that name? 

	[color=red]"Come on - we can't stop now,"[/color] Wanda urged Tinley. She spat on the floor before her red glow had surrounded Vision's form. Cass had given the Scarlet Witch an idea. Nothing they had been able to do really seemed to hurt these machines - it took one of their own kind to kill the Vision. So, why not use the Vision to kill them? [color=red]"I dedicate this weapon of death and destruction to the Merchant of Death - Stark,"[/color] she boasted dramatically, before using her powers to manipulate the probabilities surrounding Vision's body. 

	[i]It worked[/i]. Wanda managed to activate the laser from the Vision's forehead, despite the extensive damage it had taken on. Magic and science working together - who would have thought? The laser beam flew at Jocasta perfectly and the robot dropped to the ground, a gigantic hole in her head. If that robot had been Janet van Dyne in some way, it didn't matter. Jocasta was dead. And Wanda had her sights on Ultron now. 

	[color=red]"You took [i]EVERYTHING[/i] from me!"[/color]

	[color=8dc73f][i][b]"HULK SMASH!!!!!!!"[/b][/i][/color] the Hulk screamed, leaping back up into the room. The green monster let out another roar and started doing his best to try to pummel Ultron, only for Ultron to manage to match him blow for blow. Raw strength didn't seem to be enough to win this fight. Hopefully though, none of this would matter and the group going back in time would succeed. 
	
	[color=9E1105]"You killed my wife,"[/color] Ultron laughed. [color=9E1105]"I suppose you'll have to do as her replacement then, [i]Dominion.[/i]"[/color]
