(A/n this is a chapter told in no ones pov as Ultron recalls how he met Tonya in which Tony will also be briefed the short version)

Tonya was twelve years old and had just moved into yet another city because of her parents' jobs. New city, new school. Even at such a young age she was smarter than the average eighth grader. Sadly she suffered from bullying, both physical and verbal. Her parents never stayed home long enough to deal with the issues.

One day Tonya went on this chat site and entered a conversation on the topic 'quantum physics' and 'A.I programming', two subjects that she was very familiar with.

The chat link set her up in a conversation with someone by the screen name 'Red Cowl'

Ultron set up this chat I.D. because he found himself feeling quite lonesome. He chatted with countless others. Each less interesting and increasingly more boring than the last. That is before he came across 'Little Bit'.

The two spent hours upon hours discussing all things science and technology related. Eventually they started talking about their personal lives. How alone they felt, how the world seems to punish them, how no one understands them.

Ultron felt intrigued by the unknown individual. Finally finding someone who understands how he feels.

He gave support and advice on how to handle the bully situation.

At age thirteen, Tonya was recruited by Coulson  for Operation: Motherboard. The two were still in contact with one another. Ultron helped with gathering information and gave contact information. He became curious as to who was the face behind 'Little Bit'. He was surprised to see it was the I.D. of a thirteen year old girl.

Age fourteen, Tonya was the only survivor on Operation: Motherboard after the New York disaster with Loki. Her folks left on a business trip and came back in coffins. Ultron still supported and comforted her. When he was told that she was moving to New York, he was ecstatic.

Now here Toni is. fighting for her life. Her lover praying to whomever will listen, begging for death to not claim his beloved.
