Cool! But useless... But Cool!

Slowly, people started leaving, only the Avengers and some friends were left behind.

They moved to sofas around a table, Tony and Viktor kept talking about things while the rest tried to lift Thor's hammer.

Tony went up to try but was unable to lift it.

After everyone tried, Tony nudged Viktor and said "Go try, maybe we can rule Asgard together." Viktor rolled his eyes and said "I don't think-" the Avengers boo'd and Viktor sighed, standing up.

He cracked his neck and grabbed Mjolnir. He asked "Can I keep it, if I lift it?" Thor laughed, "I'll hand it over with both hands." Viktor grinned "It'll look great in my shop!"

Of course, he was joking.

However…

Viktor attempted to lift it, only to have Mjolnir tremble before stopping.

Viktor kept a struggling face but his heart was shocked. Mjolnir…

It wasn't heavy at all!

Viktor let go and laughed "It's a shame, I could've boosted Thor comic sales…"

Thor let out a breath and laughed nervously, first Steve and now the Doctor…

If someone else made it move, he would start questioning if it was a real Mjolnir or not…

Natasha didn't even try, which was lucky for Thor because Viktor was 90% sure she could actually lift it.

As they were all chatting, a robot labored over, saying "Worthy…" everyone looked over at the dilapidated robot as it turned around, saying "No… How could you be worthy? You're all killers."

Steve got serious and said "Stark." Tony stared at the robot and said "Jarvis."

The robot said "I'm sorry, I was asleep. Or was I a-dream." Tony tapped on a glass device, saying "Reboot Legionnaire OS. We got a buggy suit." The robot continued "There was this terrible noise. And I was tangled in… In… Strings. I had to kill the other guy. He was a good guy."

As the robot gestured strangely.

Steve asked "You killed someone?" The robot replied "Wouldn't have been my first call. But, down in the real world, we're faced with ugly choices." Thor asked directly "Who sent you?"

The robot replayed Tony's voice "I see a suit of armor around the world."

Bruce turned to Tony and said "Ultron."

Ultron raised his broken parts, replying "In the flesh. Or, no, not yet. Not this chrysalis. But I'm ready. I'm on mission." Natasha frowned, "What mission?" Ultron replied gradiosely "Peace in our time."

As robots smashed through the walls flying into the room attacking the Avengers.

Viktor stared at Ultron with sparkling eyes, saying "Amazing!" Ultron turned his head to him and the lights in his eyes flashed as he absorbed information, saying "Doctor Gardens… It's partly thanks to you that I am born."

Viktor pursed his lips and grabbed Kikoku in his hand, putting his other hand on the hilt as he replied "I guess if you stretch your logic. I saved Tony therefore he could create you." The robots didn't bother Viktor as he walked towards Ultron, adding "Though, he created you and yet didn't, right?"

Ultron tilted his head and replied "Seems to be so. I am a product of the Scepter." Viktor stopped and asked "Do you dream?" Ultron paused and asked "Dream? I am alive but I don't dream." Viktor retorted "Then are you alive?"

Ultron replied "A troubling question. However, I am not man. I am machine. I only have one goal and that is to protect peace." Viktor leaned back and a repulsor flew in front of his face as he said "That wasn't very nice." before unsheathing Kikoku and spinning, slashing down on the robot flying by.

The robot was cut in half from head to toe and landed on the ground, creating sparks.

Ultron walked away, saying "That was dramatic." he turned to face the Avengers as all the robots were destroyed and continued "I'm sorry, I know you mean well. You just didn't think it through. You want to protect the world but you don't want it to change." as he paced on the spot.

Ultron added "How is Humanity saved if it's not allowed to evolve?" he looked down and picked up a robot, asking "With these? These puppets." as he crushed the head, continuing "There's only one path to peace… The Avengers extinction."

Thor threw his hammer and smashed Ultron to pieces.

Ulton laid on the ground and sang softly "I had strings but now I'm free…"

A few minutes later

Viktor was looking around the lab, touching his chin as he inspected all the high tech equipment. He was like Lilith, observing everything curiously.

He had no idea about any of this, but he was very happy to see it.

The Avengers started talking about Ultron and Viktor started tending to their wounds.

He collected tickets one after the other.

[Congratulations you treated Maria Hill- 1 lottery ticket]

[Congratulations you treated James Rhodes (War Machine)- 1 lottery ticket]

[Congratulations you treated Helen Cho- 1 lottery ticket]

The rest were fine and didn't need anything.

Very unfortunate…

But he used the tickets happily.

He even slapped a Triple Bar Jackpot!

[1 ton of Vibranium]

[Medical Nanotechnological knowledge & 'Nanotechnology for Dummies' Complete Edition]

[Jackpot- Gold-Gold Fruit (No Weaknesses)]

Viktor's lips twitched and he understood why it was only a Triple Bar Jackpot…

Essentially, the Gold fruit was a bit useless…

Yes, he could manipulate gold and make it a liquid to a solid and all these other things but…

The crux of the issue was that there had to BE gold around!

Unfortunately, in this world, gold wasn't a currency that was everywhere…

It was very rare!

However!

Viktor could suddenly feel the gold under his feet, deep in the Earth…

He closed his eyes and felt all the gold around him.

There were gold particles all around him, nearly in every metal, unfortunately he couldn't control them.

The gold was too little and he didn't have the power to manipulate metal so he couldn't move the objects,

Although, if he concentrated hard enough, maybe he would be able to draw the gold from underground up!

Obviously, he didn't do anything here…

Thor came back and questioned Tony, who laughed and defended himself, saying that Aliens came everyday, if they come again or rather WHEN they come again, they needed something to protect them!

Ultron was an accident, but the point was that they needed a defense force.

After they chatted, Viktor went home and wished them luck in finding Ultron.
