AMBER STOOD UNCOMFORTABLY in the doorway of the lab as the Avengers in front of her discussed the recent attack. The girl stared at a metal corpse lying across a slab of metal in the corner of the lab. Amber shivered just looking at the robot's hollow and broken body. A very tense Tony Stark, standing over the table that the robot was laid across. The girls eyes shifted from the robot before landing on a table sparse of any items and materials. The girl quietly slipped into the room and hopped top of it, crossing her legs in the process.

"All our work is gone" Bruce spoke, the mans voice was laced with melancholy as he looked towards Tony. "Ultron cleared out. He used the internet as an escape hatch."

"Ultron" Steve scoffed, his eyebrows furrowed as if still trying to process the previous fight.

"He's been in everything, Files, Surveillance " Natasha announced, looking up from the computer she sat in front of. "He probably knows more about us than what we know about each other."

A man, who Amber recognized to be Rhodey, walked towards the center of the room. "He's in your files, your internet, What if he decides to access something a little more exciting?" He theorised, his arms folding.

"Nuclear codes." Maria stated, her voice fading at the mere thought.

"Nuclear codes." Rhodey repeated, trying to let the word sink in. "Look, we need to make some calls, assuming we still can."

"Nukes?" Natasha questioned before shaking her head. "He said he wanted us dead."

"He didn't say dead, he said extinct" Steve interrupted, his toneless voice making Amber wince at his words.

"He also said he killed somebody..." Clint added, gripping the railing he was holding, even tighter than before.

"There wasn't anybody else in the building apart from her." Maria replied pointing at Amber, who was sitting quietly and mindlessly fiddling with her fingers.

"Yes there was," Tony spoke up, walking towards the empty space in the center of the lab before he flicked his phone. An orange hologram glitched as it appeared in front of them, but it looked odd, as if different pieces were missing. Amber watched curiously as it continued to shift and change.

"What?!" Bruce exclaimed, although his voice was quiet, circling the hologram in shock. "This is insane."

Steve cleared his throat, "J.A.R.V.I.S was the first line of defence" he said, looking down with his arms crossed tightly. "He would've shut down Ultron. It makes sense."

Ambers eyebrows scrunched together in thought as the name J.A.R.V.I.S was tossed around in the conversation. It all made sense now- knowing that the hologram was damaged, hence the fact he spotted mid conversation with her.

"No, Ultron could've assimilated J.A.R.V.I.S, this isn't a strategy, this is rage." Bruce replied, furrowing his eyebrows as he paced.

Suddenly, a loud bang erupted as Thor came striding towards the group angrily. Ambers eyes widened in fright as he grabbed Tony by the throat and slightly lifted him off the floor.

"Come on buddy, use your words" Tony choked out, a hint of sarcasm and humor lacing his tone.

"I have more than enough words to describe you Stark" Thor fumed, his anger  radiating from his body.

"Thor." Steve spoke, approaching the two as if trying to defuse the situation. "The legionaire?" Thor let go of Tony, causing him to stumble back, gasping for air.

"Trail went cold about a hundred miles outwards North" Thor reported, glaring at Stark in fury. "-and it has the scepter, Now we have retrieve it, again."

"Genies out of that bottle" Natasha said with a raised brow. "Ultron's clear and present."

"I don't understand." Amber piped up, her tiny voice echoing through the room. "If you built this thing, why is it trying to kill you?" Tony sighed lowly before he chuckled causing everybody looked at him and his insanity.

"You think this is funny Stark?" Thor questioned, his voice getting louder and more threatening.

"No, It's probably not, right? Is it very terrible? This is so terrible," He laughed, pinching his nose in stress.

"This could've been avoided if you-" Thor started before he was cut off.

"No." Stark interrupted,

"You don't understand." Thor finished,

"I'm sorry...It is funny- it's a hoot that you don't get why we need this." Tony stated, looking Thor dead in the eyes.

"Tony? Maybe this isn't the right time..." Bruce spoke forlornly, his eyes glinting in warning.

"Really?" Tony replied turning in Bruce's direction, "That's it? You're just going to roll over and show your belly every time somebody snarls?"

"Only when I've created a murder bot." Bruce answered blatantly, his flat tone and pointed expression making Amber stifle a small smile.

"We didn't." Stark stated defensively, raising his arms in frustration. "We weren't even close. Were we close to an interface?"

Bruce nodded slightly, "Well you did something right." Steve butted in, "And you did it right here. The Avengers were supposed to be different than S.H.I.E.L.D."

"Anybody remember when I carried a nuke through the wormhole?" Tony questioned,

"No, I've never heard about that" Amber spoke up causing some Avengers stifled a laugh.

"Saved New York?" The exasperated man continued,

"No, it's never came up" Rhodey replied sarcastically with a blank face.

"Recall that?" Tony asked, "A hostel alien army came charging through a hole in space, and we're standing 300 feet below it. We're the Avengers, We can bust arms dealers the live long day, but that up there, that's-thats the end game. How are you guys planning on beating that?"

"Together." Steve stated stiffly, his eyes darting around the room.

"We'll lose." Tony replied faintly, stepping closer to the other man.

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

The man turned and walked off as the others exchanged unreadable glances, not really knowing what to do next. Amber had her head balanced on her hand as her eyes began to feel heavier. Clint, who had been watching the kid from across the room, shot her a small smile.

"Go get some sleep kid" Clint suggested, looking at the girl as she whipped her head towards him.

Amber nodded and without a second thought, she sped up the many stairs and into her designated room. The girl kicked off her shoes before collapsing onto the bed in exhaustion, not even bothered to remove the items of clothing she adorned. The girl sunk further under the covers, trying to muster any feeling of comfort before letting her eyes droop to a close.
