Tony and Rhodey went to put their gauntlets away after realizing that it wouldn't work, when they returned it was Banner's turn to try it. He pulled and pulled before letting go and doing a mock impression of the Hulk by roaring and throwing his arms in the air, everyone stared at him, not scared and very unimpressed.
"Not that good huh?" He eventually said before quietly sitting back down. Next it was Sif's turn, she pulled on the hammer but was unable to lift it. She didn't look too surprised or disappointed and simply sat down after. Gwen tried as well, her try went exactly like Sif's.
"Go on Steve." The other's cheered when Steve got up to take a turn, Steve pulled on the handle, the hammer shifted a little, Harry saw Thor lean forwards slightly to see if Steve really could lift it. After a few more seconds of trying it turned out that Steve couldn't and called it quits.
"Ha, nothing." Thor laughed.
"Widow?" Bruce asked Natasha.
"No, that's not a question I really need answering." She replied.
"What about you?" Barton asked Harry.
"I'm good." Harry replied, he glanced at the hammer for a second before averting his eyes.
"Come on Grim," Tony said. "you're the magic man, if anyone here can do it then it's you."
"If red, white and big pecs over there…" Harry gestured to Steve. "can't do it then I can't either. Besides I've got enough magical items on me as it is."
"That's a shame, I looked forward to you trying." Thor said as he stood up, he took his hammer back and casually tossed it in the air before catching it. "It's a shame that you're all… unworthy." Thor grinned to show that he was merely joking.
"Boo!" Nearly everyone in the room said at the same time.
Any further conversation was cut off by a high pitch noise, hurting their ears, they all turned in the direction of the noise when they something they did not expect to see. A damaged iron legion robot was walking towards them, it had a damaged face-plate, a limp and broken parts barely holding themselves together. It looked nowhere near as strong as the regular iron legion robots but somehow managed to look scarier.
"Stark," Harry said as he stood up. "you might want to deal with that." Harry said as his wand appeared in his hand.
"Worthy…" The damaged robot spoke in a different voice than the one used by the regular iron legion robots. "No, no how could any of you be worthy? You're all killers."
"Jarvis." Tony said as he pulled out his phone. "Reboot the legionnaire, I've got a buggy legion suit."
"I'm sorry. I was asleep… or… or I was… a dream. There was this terrible noise," The suit said as it gestured to its head. "and I was tangled… in strings. I had to kill the other guy, he was a nice guy." It said, adding the last part in a sad voice.
"You killed someone?" Steve asked, standing ready for a fight.
"Wouldn't have been my first call. However down in the real world we are faced with ugly choices."
"What's your deal?" Harry asked as he pointed his wand at it.
The robot made a screeching sound, a few seconds later it responded.
"I see a suit of armour around the world." It said, though not it's own voice, it was Stark's voice.
"Ultron." Banner said, realizing what exactly was in front of them.
"Ultron?" Sif repeated, sending Banner a questioning look.
"In the flesh. Actually no, not exactly," Ultron said as it shook its head. "not this chrysalis. Not yet. But I am ready. I am on a mission."
"What mission?" Natasha asked, not entirely sure she wanted to know the answer.
"Peace in our time". Ultron answered.
The wall behind Ultron was smashed open as a several Iron Legion robots flew in, fortunately Harry was quick with his wand, he created a shield that the charging legion bots crashed into. Harry quickly followed up by blasting them apart with Thor and Sif quickly joining in by smashing any of the bots they could get their hands on.
Between the three of them they were able to quickly deal with the bots and leave them in a pile of broken parts.
"Well, that was disappointingly quick. Ultron said in an amused voice, bringing everyone's attention back to him. "I am sorry, I know you mean well, all of you, you just didn't think it through. You all want to protect the world but none of you want it to change. I really don't understand that. How is humanity saved if it's not allowed to evolve? It's necessary but you all fight it. Look at these these," Ultron said as he picked up a broken Iron Legion robot. " these puppets." He growled slightly as he crushed the head and threw it away. "There is only one true path to peace, the Avenger's extinction." Thor had head enough and roared as he tossed Mjolnir at Ultron, smashing the robotic body to pieces. The head remained intact, something that allowed Ultron to say one last thing. "I had strings…" He said in a voice that appeared to slowly be getting lower and more quiet. "but now I'm free". Ultron said as he turned off, his voice fading away yet echoing in all of the Avenger's heads.
"Stark." Harry spoke.
"Yeah?" Tony asked slowly.
"I'm going to say this one time, the fuck?"
