Age of Ultron (2)

It's been a few days since Amelia disappeared and Hyperion has been looking everywhere. He even flew around the world in search of her but nothing. He also noticed that Konrad is also missing. He finally understand what the figure told him that Konrad and Amelia finally went back to Arishem. He is now at the Avengers Tower just lounging and watch the people get the place ready for the party. That's when Steve walked in with a two drinks in hand.

Steve: "Care for a drink?"

Hyperion: "Thank you Steve."

Steve: "Well my friend is feeling down so I wanted to help."

Hyperion: *chuckles* "I'm not but thanks for worrying."

Steve: "I heard of this guy you just fought. Is he like you?"

Hyperion: "I think so. He is as strong as me or maybe even more. Can't really tell as the two of us held back when we were fighting."

Steve: "Well that's another one on our list of villains."

Hyperion: "Still have that?"

Steve: "Of course."

Hyperion: "Nothing has changed ever since the day I saved you from those bullies."

Steve: "Well you haven't changed a bit. So we're even."

Hyperion: "Where's Tony? Still hauled up in the lab with Mr. Green?"

Steve: "Well you know those two. They are the Science Bros after all."

The two laughed and gave each other cheers and drank their drinks. It was then the night of the party as the tower is full of people and everyone is having a good time. Hyperion was with Rhodey, Tony, Thor and Maria.

Rhodey: "Well, you know, the suit can take the weight, right? So I take the tank, fly it right up to the General's palace, drop it at his feet, I'm like, "Boom! Are you looking for this?"

Hyperion, Tony and Thor just stared at him blankly.

Rhodey: "Boom! Are you looking..." Why do I even talk to you guys? Everywhere else that story kills."

Thor: "That's the whole story?"

Rhodey: "Yeah. It's a War Machine story."

Hyperion: "So you're back to War Machine again not the Iron Patriot?"

Rhodey: "Ha ha. Very funny Marc."

Tony: "It's a great story but I'm not surprised the suit can lift that much. I mean have you seen the old man here bench press a building."

Thor: "Well it's very good then. It's impressive."

Rhodey: "Quality save. So, no Pepper? She's not coming?"

Tony: "No."

Maria: "Hey what about Jane. Where are all the ladies, gentlemen?"

With them still talking and comparing about their girls, Hyperion walked towards the windows and watched the view of New York City.

Helen: "I see you are not a people person too huh?"

Hyperion: "Yup. I prefer to be by myself if it gets too crowded."

He turned towards Helen who was sitting on one of the couches just minding her own business holding a drink in her hand.

Hyperion: "What about you? What are you doing here sitting in the corner?"

Helen: "Just like you, I'm not a fan of crowded places. That's why I don't go this kind of events in the first place."

Hyperion: "I remembered in my Eternal days when people throw us a big party. I would just find a place, sit down and watch the stars."

Helen: "Yeah. They are beautiful. Have you ever been close to one? Since you know....you can fly."

Hyperion: "I do. And it's beautiful. To tell you the truth, my powers come from two differentbenergies."

She smiled and got closer to listen, intrigued about Hyperion's abilities as they appear to be god-like abilities.

Helen: "I heard from the others. Your powers come from your infinite supply of Cosmic energy."

Hyperion: "And Solar energy. That's why I appear to be stronger than my brothers and sisters. Why I'm far superior than them in a way."

Helen: "Well thank you for telling me about this."

Hyperion: "We're friends right?"

After talking with Helen more, the two finally went towards where the others are gathered as the guests already went home leaving them lounging around laughing with Thor's hammer on the table.

Clint: "It's a trick!"

Thor: "Oh no, it's much more than that."

Clint: "Uh, "Whosoever be he worthy shall haveth the power!" Whatever man! It's a trick."

Thor: "Then please, be my guest."

Tony: "Come on."

Clint: "Really?"

Thor: "Yeah."

Hyperion: "Come on Clint, you have a tough week."

Rhodey: "Oh this is gonna be beautiful."

Clint: "You know I've seen this before."

He grabbed Mjölnir's handle and started to lift it as

he struggled to get it off the table.

Clint: "I still don't know how you do it."

Tony: "Smell the silent judgment?"

Clint: "Please Stark, by all means."

Tony got up from his seat and started to walk around the table and towards Mjolnir.

Natasha: "Here we go."

Maria: "Okay."

Rhodey: "Uh-oh."

Hyperion: "Now you've done it."

Tony: "Never one to shrink from an honest challenge. It's physics."

Bruce: "Physics?"

Tony grasped the hammer's handle and turned to Thor.

Tony: "Right. So if I lift it, I then rule Asgard?"

Thor: "Yes of course."

Tony: "I'll be re-instituting Prima Nocta."

Hyperion: "Okay?"

He tried to lift but just like Clint, it didn't even budge.

Tony: "I'll be right back?"

He came back with an armored hand as he tried to lift it again but nothing. Rhodey then helped him with his armored hand as the two tried again but the same outcome.

Rhodey: "Are you even pulling?"

Tony: "Are you on my team?"

Rhodey: "Just represent! Pull!"

Tony: "Alright, let's go!"

It was Banner's turn as he struggled to lift it then started to roar like he was changing into the Hulk. He looked around everyone to only see them look at him wearily as Hyperion just laughed with Helen.

Bruce: "Huh?"

Next, it was Steve as he stood up and walked towards the hammer while pulling up his sleeves.

Tony: "Let's go Steve, no pressure."

Rhodey: "Come on, Cap."

Steve then pulled making Mjolnir budge a little. Thor and Hyperion who saw this were surprised and Thor got alarmed. Steve tried to pull it again but it didn't move the second time making Thor laugh in relief.

Thor: "Nothing."

Tony: "And?"

Bruce: "Widow?"

Natasha: "Oh no, no, that's not a question I need answered."

They then turned to the last member of the team as Hyperion raised an eyebrow.

Hyperion: "You want me to try?"

Tony: "Come on old man, maybe you can be king. It fits you."

Hyperion: "Why? Because I'm old and know everything."

Tony: "You're the one who said, not me."

Steve: "Well? Want to try and lift it?"

Hyperion sighed and got up before approaching the hammer. He grasps the handle and starts to lift it At first it didn't move until everyone's eves were on the hammer that started to be lifted up slowly. Hyperion grasps it with his other hand as he slowly starts to lift it up the table but he lets it go and lets out a breathe.

Clint: "Ah! So close."

Bruce: "That doesn't count?"

Thor: "N-Nope. He must lift it above his head."

Tony: "All deference to the man who wouldn't be king, but it's rigged."

Clint: "You bet your ass."

Maria: "Steve, he said a bad language."

Steve: "Did you tell everyone about that?"

Tony: "Nope, it was the old man. The handle's imprinted, right? Like a security code. "Whosoever is carrying Thor's fingerprints" is, I think, the literal translation?"

Thor: "Yes, well that's, uh, that's a very, very interesting theory. I have a simpler one."

Thor then grabbed the hammer off the table with ease and threw it up in the air and caught it without effort.

Thor: "You're all not worthy."

They all then groaned in disagreement until a loud screeching noise caused everyone to cover their ears. One of the Iron Legion suits that is heavily damaged slowly walked its way towards them as it turned to them.

Ultron: "Worthy?...No, how could you all be worthy? You're all killers."

Steve: "Stark."

Tony: "JARVIS."

Ultron: "Sorry, I was asleep. Or... I was a- dream."

Tony: "Reboot. Legionnaire OS, we got a buggy suit."

Ultron: "There was a terrible noise...and I was tangled in some.... some strings. I had to kill the other guy. He was a good guy."

Steve: "You killed someone?"

Ultron: "Would've been my first call. But, down in the real world we're faced with ugly choices."

Thor: "Who sent you?"

Ultron: "I see a suit of armor around the world."

Bruce: "Ultron."

Ultron: "In the flesh. Or, no, not yet. Not this... chrysalis. But I'm ready. I'm on a mission."

Natasha: "What mission?"

Ultron: "Peace at our time."

The wall explodes and several Iron Legion bots charged at everyone with Cap flipping the table over as an Iron Legion sent him flying back. Hyperion grabbed Helen and brought her to a safer place in the room.

Hyperion: "Stay here."

Helen: "O-Okay."

Hyperion then flew towards one of the Iron Legions before ripping it in half. One of them sent Rhodey flying out the window and towards where the Quinjet is. Natasha and Bruce hid behind the bar as Natasha grabbed a gun and began shooting at the Iron Legions. One of them grabbed the Scepter from the lab as it went to fly out but Hyperion blasted it with his Atomic Vision but another one grabbed it and flew away. He was about to shoot it but saw one Iron Legion going towards Helen. He punched a hole in its chest and threw it towards Thor.

Hyperion: "Thor!"

Thor then smashed the Iron Legion thrown towards him with his hammer as Clint grabbed Steve's shield.

Clint: "Cap!"

He threw Steve's shield toward him as he caught it and threw it mid air towards the last Iron Legion cutting it in half.

Ultron: "That was dramatic! I'm sorry, I 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. How is humanity saved if it's not allowed to...evolve? With these? These dumb puppets? There's only one path to peace: the Avengers' Extinction."

Hyperion then blasted Ultron with his Atomic Vision cutting him in half as it fell to the floor in pieces. Ultron then started to sing before finally shutting down.

Ultron: "I had strings, but now I'm free. There are no strings on me, no strings on me."

Hyperion then floated down as he help Helen up. He then turned towards Tony as Tony already knew what was going to happen.

Hyperion: "Explain."

The team are now gathered in the lab as they all sit around and think of what to do.

Bruce: "All of our work is gone. Ultron cleared it out. Used the internet as an escape hatch "

Steve: "Ultron."

Natasha: "He's been in everything. Files, surveillance. Probably knows more about us than we know about each other."

Rhodey: "He's in your files, he's in the internet. What if he decides to access something a little more exciting?"

Hyperion: "Nuclear codes."

Rhodey: "Nuclear codes. Look, we need to make some calls, assuming we still can."

Natasha: "Nukes? He said he wanted us dead."

Hyperion: "He didn't say dead, he said extinct."

Clint: "He also said he killed somebody."

Maria: "But there wasn't anyone else in the building."

Tony: "Yes there was."

Hyperion: "You don't mean-"

Tony: "Yes.."

He then brought a now destroyed 3D image of JARVIS's consciousness.

Hyperion: "No."

Bruce: "This is insane."

Steve: "JARVIS was the first line of defense. He would've shut Ultron down, it makes sense."

Bruce: "No, Ultron could've assimilated Jarvis. This isn't strategy, this is...rage."

Thor barges in and grabs Tony by the neck as he

lifted him up.

Hyperion: "Thor, put him down."

He put Tony down as Tony grabbed his neck and released a sigh of relief.

Steve: "Thor, the Legionnaire."

Thor: "Trail went cold about a hundred miles out but it's headed north, and it has the scepter. Now we have to retrieve it, again."

Hyperion: "We have no other choice. We don't know what Ultron will do with it that's why we have to find it fast."

Helen: "I don't understand. You built this program, why is it trying to kill us?"

Tony then started to laugh making everyone turn towards him like he grew another head.

Thor: "You think this is funny?"

Tony: "No. It's probably not, right? Is this very terrible? Is it so... is it so... it is. It's so terrible."

Thor: "This could've been avoided if you hadn't played with something you don't understand."

Tony: "No, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. It is funny. It's a hoot that you don't get why we need this."

Bruce: "Tony, maybe this might not be the time to-

Tony: "Really?! That's it? You just roll over, show your belly, every time somebody snarls."

Hyperion: "Tony, enough."

Bruce: "Only when I've created a murder bot."

Tony: "We didn't. We weren't even close. Were we close to an interface?"

Steve: "Well, you did something right. And you did it right here. The Avengers were supposed to be different from SHIELD."

Tony: "Recall that? A hostile alien army came charging through a hole in space. We're standing three hundred feet below it. We're the Avengers. We can bust arms dealers all the live long day, but, that up there? That's... that's the end game. How were you guys planning on beating that?"

Hyperion: "Together."

Tony: "We'll lose, old man."

Steve: "Then we'll do that together, too. Thor's right. Ultron's calling us out. And I'd like to find him before he's ready for us. The world's a big place. Let's start making it smaller."

A few days have passed after that as everyone tried to locate where Ultron is. Helen went back to Korea to her lab with Hyperion accompanying her to the airport. Now the team are looking into files as the records in Strucker got erased by Ultron.

Steve: "Known associates. Well, Strucker has a lot of friends."

Bruce: "Well these people are all horrible."

Tony: "Wait, I know that guy."

Bruce passed him the photo of someone.

Tony: "From back in the day. He operates off the African coast, black market arms."

Steve and Hyperion looked at him accusingly as he tried to defend himself.

Tony: "There are conventions, alright? You meet people, I didn't sell him anything. He was talking about finding something new, a game changer, it was all very "Ahab"."

Thor: *points at a scar* "What's this?"

Tony: "It's a tattoo. I don't think he had it."

Hyperion: "That's not a tattoo. That's a brand."

Bruce: "Oh, yeah. It's a word in an African dialect meaning thief, in a much less friendly way."

Steve: "What dialect?"

Bruce: "Wakanada? Wa...Wa...Wakanda."

Tony: "If this guy got out of Wakanda with some of their trade goods..."

Steve: "I thought your father said he got the last of it."

Bruce: "I don't follow. What comes out of Wakanda?"

The three then turned towards Cap's shield.

Hyperion: "The strongest metal on Earth."

Steve: "Where is this guy now?"

The team then got ready as they flew towards the African Coast to meet with Ulysses Klaue and to finally put a stop to Ultron and what his plan is.
