Suddenly there was a high pitched frequency that rung through their ears, quickly did Tony look to see what it was. An unknown voice spoke up. "Worthy." The heroes all turn to see what, or who it was, Kasiyah and Steve standing up from their seats, recognizing it to be one of the Iron Legions, only it looked like a destroyed suit. "No. How could you be worthy? You're all killers." The robot spoke. "Stark," Steve spoke expectantly. "Jarvis," Tony spoke, getting no response from his AI.

"I'm sorry, I was asleep. Or I was a dream," the legionnaire says. "Reboot Legionnaire OS. We get a buggy suit," Tony mumbles, tapping on the remote. The legionnaire continues, ignoring Tony's failed attempts to shut him down. "There was this terrible noise. And I was tangled in...in..strings. I had to kill the other guy. He was a good guy." Kasiyah's eyes widened ever so slightly as Rhodey goes to pull her over to him, needing to protect his daughter.

"You killed someone?" Steve questions, saying what everyone was thinking. "Wouldn't have been my first call. But, down in the real world, we're faced with ugly choices." The robot confirms. "Who sent you?" Thor spoke up. The suit makes an odd noise before another voice speaks, Kas recognized it to be Tony's. "I see a suit of armor around the world."

Bruce glances at Tony in realization. "Ultron."

"In the flesh. Or, no, not yet. Not this chrysalis. But, I'm ready. I'm on a mission." Ultron said, the Avengers slowly beginning to ready their weapons. "What mission?" Natasha asked. Ultron tilts his head, the lights glowing blue. "Peace in our time." More iron legions busted through the glass, attacking. Kasiyah was quick to drop to the floor as Steve kicked the table up. Her eyes widened when she seen Rhodey get thrown into the glass, seemingly unconscious.

"Dad!" Kasiyah grabbed her gun from the strap around her thigh and shot at the suits. Thor takes one out as another one grabs Loki's scepter. Kasiyah spotted Steve struggling with one and shot it a few times so it exploded. "You're welcome!" Thor had no trouble taking them out, his hammer giving him the upper hand. Kasiyah ran upstairs to cover Nat and Bruce whilst Tony had jumped atop one of them in aims to power it down.

Thor and Steve deal with the final ones, leaving only Ultron left. "That was dramatic. 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. How is humanity saved if it's not allowed to evolve?" Ultrol lifts up one of the destroyed suits, his voice laced with disgust. "With these? These puppets?" He crushes it and tosses it to the side. "There's only one path to peace. The Avengers Extinction." And with that, Thor throws his hammer, destroying the Iron Legionnaire suit Ultron was inhabiting.

"I had strings, but now I'm free."

The majority were then gathered in Tony's lab, minus Thor. Kasiyah was pissed off to say the least and she wasn't the only one. "All our work is gone. Ultron cleared out. He used the internet as an escape hatch." Bruce explains, meanwhile Tony was staring at the broken suit, his mind swirling with thoughts. "He's been in everything. Files, surveillance. Probably knows more about us than we know about each other," Nat says, rubbing Kas' shoulder.

"He's in your files, he's in the Internet. What if he decides to access something a little more exciting?" Rhodey points out. Maria nods, knowing where he was going with this. "Nuclear codes." Kasiyah stood up, walking over to sit up on the table Maria was at. She lifted her dress, starting to feel the glass that had gotten stuck in her kneecap. Maria passes her the tweezers and she smiles gratefully in reply as she took them, removing each shard of glass like it was nothing. And it honestly wasn't.

"Look, we need to make some calls, assuming we still can," Rhodey said. "Nukes? He said he wanted us dead," Natasha points out. Steve was quick to correct her. "He didn't say "dead." He said "extinct." Steve corrects. Kasiyah shrugged, "so what? He's got it out for heros or somethin'? If he does, consider me no longer one of the goood guys." Kasiyah mumbles the last part to herself but Maria heard it and nudges her good knee.

"He also said he killed someone." Clint adds. Maria looks up from what she was doing, quick to add in her knowledge. "There wasn't anyone else in the building." Tony walks over to the center of the room, finally breaking his silence on the matter. "Yes, there was." The orange colored holographic system with specks of blue was shown, otherwise this was previously known as Jarvis. Kas stood up with a frown, she loved Jarvis, especially when he would help her with homework.

"What? This is insane."

"Jarvis was the first line of defense. He would have shut Ultron down. It makes sense." Steve says. "No. Ultron could have assimilated Jarvis. This isn't strategy. This is..rage," Bruce corrects. Kasiyah looks up when she heard loud footsteps echo the room. Thor storms in, immediately wrapping a hand around Tony's throat and lifting him up. "It's going around." Kasiyah and Clint say simultaneously. She didn't bother to stop Thor seeing as he wouldn't actually kill Tony.

"Come on, use your words, buddy," Tony chokes out.

"I have more than enough words to describe you, Stark." Thor seethes out at the billionaire. "Thor. The Legionaire?" Cap asks, and Thor let's go of Tony, the man stumbling back with a grunt. "Trail went cold about 100 miles out, but it headed north. And it has the scepter. Now we have to retrieve it, again." Thor answers. Kas sighs, of course this would happen to them.

"Genie's out of that bottle. Clear and present is Ultron." Nat rebutted.

"I don't understand." Dr. Cho suddenly spoke up, her eyes glancing over the destroyed suit and back to the team. "You built this program. Why is it trying to kill us?" Kasiyah rolls her eyes, muttering, "cause it's Tony," under her breath. And suddenly Tony starts laughing, only further irritating the Avengers. "You think this is funny?" Thor questions, not seeing any amusement in this situation, obviously.

Tony turns around to look at the God. "No. It's probably not, right? This is very terrible. Is it so...is it so..it is. It's so terrible." The man says in a sarcastic tone. "This could have been avoided if you hadn't played with something you don't understand," Thor points out. "No. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. It is funny. It's a hoot that you don't get why we need this," the billionaire snarled. Kasiyah looked down, becoming rather irritated with her Uncle Tony and his comments.

"Tony, maybe this might not be the time-" Bruce attempts to imput and Tony turns to him with an incredulous look. "Really? That's it? You just roll over, show your belly every time somebody snarls?" Bruce expressed a semi-shocked look, "only when I've created a murder bot," he retorts. "We didn't. We weren't even close. We're we close to an interface?" Bruce shrugs, not really having an answer for that.

"Well, you did something right. And you did it right here. The Avengers were supposed to be different than S.H.I.E.L.D." Steve states, getting back onto the thing that was bothering him. "Anybody remember when I carried a nuke through a wormhole?" Tony points out and Kas rolls her eyes at the millionth mention of that. "No, it's never come up," she and Rhodey say simultaneously in a sarcastic manner.

"Saved New York?" He continues, the father and daughter shaking their heads, "never heard that." They retort. "Recall that? A hostile alien army came charging through a hole in space. We're standing 300 feet below it. We're the Avengers. We can bust arms dealers all the livelong day, but that up there, that's-. That's the endgame. How were you guys planning on beating that?" Tony questions, ignoring the look her got from his niece.

"Together." Steve states firmly.

Tony steps towards him, "We'll lose."

"Then we'll do that together, too." Kas raised a brow at the tension in the air between the two heros before Steve breaks it, getting back on track. "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."

"Thought y'all was finna kiss but okay," Kas comments, standing up from the table with a huff. Tony shoots her a glare, "aren't you supposed to be grounded? Go to your room." Kasiyah scoffed, shooting him a glare in return, "Fine, only cause I was going there anyway. And you're not my dad!" The girl storms out, her heels in one hand, she stops halfway to flip him off when his back was turned.

"I seen that!"

"Good!"

Kasiyah sat in her room, now beginning to process the fact that she had been cheated on. Though she was grateful to have been distracted for a bit. She laid in her bed, going through the file of Pietro Maximoff on her computer. She had got into his file that Strucker had kept on him so she was able to see the footage and all the tests on him. She just wanted to learn more about his abilities and how he was able to control them. But she couldn't help but notice how incredibly hot he was. Her hatred must've overshadowed it when they had met for the first time.

As she watched the video of him when he was first given powers, she noticed his hair was long and brown rather than it's silver color that she had remembered. The door had suddenly been opened and Natasha peeked in. "Hey Kas, someone's here to see you. It's uh, it's Jay." Kas inhaled sharply, shutting the computer quickly and standing, brushing off her dress. "Okay, uhm, just tell him to wait in the lab. I'll be down in a sec." Nat nods, giving the teen a sympathetic smile before shutting the door to give her some privacy.

Kas changed into some black jeans and a crop top with Thor's hammer front and center of the shirt. She walked downstairs to the lab, immediately seeing Jay standing there being questioned by her father, Tony, Thor, and Natasha. Bruce was busy working on ways to find Ultron but otherwise he would've joined in on their hazing. "So, is cheating a human thing? I haven't got a clue, I've not done it." Thor says, further confusing the younger man.

"Cheating? What are you talkin' about man?" He questions. Kas walks over, "enough, you guys can stop now. I can defend myself. Work on finding Ultron." Tony rolls his eyes, shooting his last glare at Jay before retreating. "You need me just say the word." Rhodey pressed a kiss to her head before leaving. "If you need me to send him to Asgard and put him in prison, just say the word, Lady Kas." Thor said with a wide grin. "Yeah, if he does anything, give us a call," Nat adds.

"I will, thank you." Kas took Jay's hand and escorted him back to her room. "You okay, baby? I seen the broken glass in the other room and got worried." Kas smiled, sitting atop of her desk as he stood in between her legs. "I'm okay. Some shit went down but ya know we got it handled. How was your ma? Is she getting better?" Jay held a confused look for a quick second, "huh? Oh, uh yeah, my ma. Nah, she good. She doin' good. I'm real sorry I couldn't make it to the party baby. She really needed me."

"Right, yeah nah I get it. But, ya know, it's funny. I actually just called your ma, and she said you never came over, in fact you haven't been to see her in months. So, who the fuck have you been with this entire time?" Kasiyah shrugs, seeing how his face dropped when she said those words. "Look- baby, I can explain." He stuttered nervously over her words, placing his hands on her thighs.

"Do tell. Please, I would love to hear what excuse you got this time." Kas pushed his hands off and stood up, crossing her arms over her chest. He sighs, running a hand over his locs. "I don't know what to say. A'ight? I'm sorry. Let me make it up to you. Please, Kas."  Jay places his hands on her shoulders with a pleading look. Kasiyah pushed his hands off her with a glare, she backed up into the wall. "No. We're done. If you lay one more finger on me a team of highly trained agents with storm in here with only the intention to kill you. So I suggest, you leave and never come back."

"Whatever man. You ain't worth it anyways." Jay scoffs, storming out of the room and slamming the door shut.

"I ain't got time for this shit," Kas rolls her eyes and walks out, heading towards the elevator to meet up with Steve and Maria. "You okay, Kas?" Maria asked, setting a hand on the teen's shoulder with a look of concern. "Yeah, just going through a break up, but I'll be alright. Any progress on Ultron?" Kas hits the bottom on the elevator and stands next to Steve, the man rubbing her back in a form of comfort.

"He's all over the globe. Robotics labs, weapons facilities, jet propulsion labs. Reports of a metal man, or men, coming in and emptying the place." Maria explains as they walk out and head up the stairs. "Fatalities?" Steve queried. "Only when engaged. Mostly guys left in a fugue state, going on about old memories, worst fears, and "something too fast to see."

Kasiyah immediately knew it was the twins, it made sense. "It's gotta be the Maximoffs." Steve nods in agreement with her. "That makes sense he'd go to them. They have someone in common." Kas immediately thought to the German scientist Struker, wondering if she could get information out of him about Pietro's powers. Maybe it would help her control hers without needing to go to the other teen for help. Unfortunately, the universe didn't seem to like her lately.

"Not anymore." Maria hands Kas the tablet, a picture of a deceased Strucker with his blood on the wall written in the word of "PEACE." Kas sighed, "it's official, the world hates me." She hands the tablet to Steve so he could see and walks up the stairs, her eyes landing on Clint who was on the phone with his wife. "Clint. We might have something," she says, gaining his attention. "I gotta go," he says, getting off the phone.

"Who was that?" Steve questions, standing next to the teen. "Girlfriend." Clint answers, shooting a wink to Kas that Steve luckily missed.

They walk into the lab and Kas smiles at Thor before sitting herself on the table as Steve hands Thor the tablet. "What's this?" Tony asks, walking over to inspect. "A message. Ulton killed Strucker." Thor hands Tony the tablet harshly and Kas snickers at his pettiness. "And he did a Banksy at the crime scene, just for us." Tony adds. "This is a smoke screen. Why send a message when you've just given a speech," Nat rebutted.

"Strucker knew something that Ultron wanted us to miss," Steve said.

"Yeah, I bet he..yeah." Nat clicks something on the laptop and it showed the deleted file on Strucker. "Everything we had on Strucker's been erased." Kasiyah stood up, moving to stand next to Thor. "Actually, not everything. Steve, you're like a million years old so they probably had files before the beautiful thing call the internet, existed. I'm sure Tony has files around here somewhere, he's old too." Steve gives her a look, sighing in exasperation at her unnecessary comment about his age.

"Aren't you supposed to be grounded?" Tony deadpanned.

"Not my dad." She retorts. Tony scoffs, "yeah well, you're dad's not here, so I'm in charge of you and I say you're grounded." Kas glared at him, "you can't ground me or let me out of your sight unless you want Ultron to find me and murder me brutally." Tony huffed dramatically, rolling his eyes at her behavior. "Fine. But when this is over, you're grounded for a week."

They headed to the filing room and everyone immediately began to skim through the files. "Well, these people at all horrible," Bruce says as they went through files of people that Strucker was "friends" with. "Wait. I know that guy." Tony said and Bruce passed him the file. "From back in the day. He operates off the African coast. Black market arms." Steve shoots him a look and Tony was quick to defend himself. "There are conventions. All right? You meet people. I didn't sell him anything."

Kas looks over Thor's shoulder, overlooking the pictures of Ulysses Klaue as Tony continues. "He was talking about finding something new, a game-changer. It was all very Ahab." Thor points out a mark or tattoo on the man in the picture, "this?" Tony glances at it to inspect, "Ah, it's a tattoo, I don't think he had it."

"No. Those are tattoos, this is a brand." Thor points to the brand scarring on the man's neck. Bruce is quick to look it up to see what it was. "Oh, yeah. It's a word in an African dialect meaning "thief." In a much less friendly way." He explains. "What dialect?" Steve asks. "Wakanada." Bruce stammers, looking back at the screen since it didn't sound right, he corrects himself. "Wa- Wakanda." Kas shoots Tony a look, both of them knowing where and what Wakanda was as Steve's shield came from there.

"If this guy got out of Wakanda with some of their trade goods.." Tony trailed off knowingly. "I thought your father said he got the last of it," Steve replied. Kas averted her eyes to the floor, "yeah, that's not at all true." Before Steve and Tony could question how she knew that, Bruce interrupts. "I don't follow. What comes out of Wakanda?" Steve takes a glance over at his shield as Stark answers. "The strongest metal on Earth."

"Where is this guy now?" Steve questions.

Kas walks over to her own computer and typed, Tony looking over her shoulders with an impressed look. "Salvage Yard over by the African Coast." She answers with a grin, high fiving Tony. He grins, setting a hand on her shoulder and giving it a small squeeze showing he was proud, "my goddaughter/niece is a genius."

Steve smiles, "suit up."
