It was soon dark and everyone else was inside Clinton’s secret home having a meeting.
They were all scattered around in the kitchen, some standing, some sitting, while Nick Fury sat in the very middle of the room. While Tony was sitting by the other end on the table, Melissa was on his lap as she leaned on the table beside them.
“Back in the day I had eyes everywhere and ears everywhere else.” Nick said, “You kids had all the tech you could dream up, here we are back on earth with nothing but our wit and will to save the world.
Ultron says the avengers are the only thing between him and his mission, and whether he admits or not, his mission is global destruction. All this, laid in a grave, so stand, outwit the platinum bastard.
“Steve doesn't like that kind of talk” Natasha said teasingly.
“You know what romanoff?” Steve retorted with a faint smile.
“So what does he want?” Nick Fury asked.
“To become better” Steve answered, “Better than us. He keeps building bodies”
“Person bodies” Stark added, “The human form is inefficient, biologically speaking we're outmoded. But he keeps coming back to it”
Meanwhile as Stark spoke Bruce walked forwards towards the table where Clint's daughter had a drawing of a butterfly on the table that was beside Natasha.
Natasha looked up towards Bruce as she said, “When you two programmed him to protect the human race, you amazingly failed” She said looking back at Stark.
“Couldn't be me, talk about a rookie mistake” Tony scoffed, “It's like you guys never seen an android taking over the world cliche.”
Melissa just put a hand over Tony’s mouth, causing him to just look at her with a deadpan expression. She ignored him and motioned for everyone to continue as she was invested in the discussion and made her feel part of the team and superhero operatives.
Natasha looked at Melissa in amusement.
“Eww! Did you just lick my hand” Melissa said in disgust, rubbing her hand over his shirt. While Tony just shrugged.
“They don't need to be protected” Bruce said drawing everyone back to the conversation, “They need to evolve”
Seeing that everyone was no looking at him he added, “Ultron's going to evolve”
“How?” Nick asked as he set his drink down.
“Has anyone been in contact with Helen Cho?” Bruce asked.
…
The sun was soon coming up and everyone was seen bustling about, Steve was in uniform and grabbed his shield which he put over his back, “Alright so I'll take Natasha and Clint”
“I see, so it's strictly recon, I'll join you as soon as I can” Stark said as he tapped at his watch with a concentrated expression.
“If Ultron's really building a body…” Steve began.
Stark finished his words for him, “He'll be more powerful than any of us, maybe even more than all of us”
Steve let out a sigh, “An android designed by a robot… You know, i really miss the day when the weirdest thing science created was me”
“I'll drop Banner off at the tower, do you mind if I borrow Ms. Hill?” Nick Fury asked as he put on his Jacket.
“She's all yours… Apparently” Stark muttered, “What are you going to do?”
“I don't know something dramatic, I hope,” Nick Fury said.
Tony and Melissa then appeared and looked towards Steve, “We'll be joining you thanks for asking” Tony said sarcastically.
“Are you sure?” Stark asked, “You sure you don't want to come with me?”
“Hmm, Let's see. Action packed adventure or boring information gathering… Hmm what a tough choice that is” Tony said moving his hands as if weighing his options.
Stark stared at him with a deadpan expression. “There was no need to be a dick about it.”
Steve weighed the situation, silently considering the pros and cons, then nodded. “Alright, you two have proven you can handle yourselves.”
Stark suddenly snapped his fingers as if something had just occurred to him. “Oh, I get it. You’re still salty because you got chewed out by your parents and grounded when you go back home.”
Tony’s eye twitched as he glared at Tony. “Don’t think that just because you’re older, I won’t knock you out. Don’t test me.”
Meanwhile, Melissa covered her mouth, trying to stifle her laughter.
Once everyone was geared up, they made their way to the jet parked in the fields and took off into the rising sun.

Tony, Melissa, and Steve now stood on a rooftop in Seoul, South Korea. In the distance, they could see a large research facility, while the Quinjet hovered behind them.
“Two minutes. Stay close,” Steve ordered as the Quinjet pulled away. He glanced at Tony and Melissa, nodding. “Let’s move.”
Tony stepped behind Steve, grabbing hold of him before taking off toward the research facility. Melissa flew close behind.
As they approached the entrance, Tony let go, allowing Steve to land gracefully on his feet, aided by the Vibranium in his boots.
Tony and Melissa landed right after him, retracting their suits as they followed Steve into the building.
When they reached the floor where Helen Cho worked, they froze at the sight.
The lab was in shambles—robot bodies lay scattered, destroyed. Scientists cowered under desks, their faces pale with fear.
Helen Cho stood amidst the chaos, surveying the damage, her expression a mix of relief and disbelief.
“Dr. Cho?” Steve asked, concern etched into his voice. “What happened here?”
“It was Ultron,” Helen explained, her voice trembling. “He was uploading himself into a new body. I… I think it was one of the Maximoff twins who helped me regain control of myself. When I tried to stop the upload, Ultron turned on us. He nearly killed us all, but then we were saved!”
“The twins?” Melissa asked, stepping forward.
Helen shook her head rapidly. “No… If I hadn’t seen it myself, I wouldn’t have believed it. It was a mouse—a tiny little thing. It suddenly appeared, grew in size, and pushed me out of the way of Ultron’s attack. Then, when the others were in danger, it sprouted tendrils from its back and saved us all.”
Tony and Melissa exchanged wide-eyed looks, their jaws dropping in disbelief.
“A mouse?” Steve asked, his voice heavy with skepticism.
“Yes,” Helen confirmed, tapping a small bump in her breast pocket. “See? He’s right here.”
Two tiny white paws appeared, followed by the head of a snow-white mouse.
“Hey~” the mouse greeted in a deep, sultry voice.
“MASTER SPLINTER?!?” Tony and Melissa shouted in unison, their astonishment palpable.
The mouse turned toward them, throwing finger guns in their direction. “Tony~ my man! I knew we’d meet up eventually,” Splinter said in his smooth, deep voice.
