Avengers: Age of Ultron Page #5

---

- Already on the scene.

- How's the team?

- Everyone's...

We took a hit. We'll shake it off.

Well, for now, I'd stay in stealth mode

and stay away from here.

So, run and hide?

Until we can find Ultron,

I don't have a lot else to offer.

Neither do we.

- Hey, you wanna switch out?

- No, I'm good.

If you wanna get some kip, now's a good time

because we're still a few hours out.

Few hours from where?

A safe house.

- What is this place?

- Safe house.

Let's hope.

Honey?

I'm home.

Hi. Company.

- Sorry, didn't call ahead.

- Hey.

This is an agent of some kind.

Gentlemen, this is Laura.

I know all of your names.

Incoming.

- Dad!

- Hi, sweetheart!

Hey, buddy. How are you guys doing?

- These are smaller agents.

- Look at your face!

- Oh, my goodness.

- Did you bring Auntie Nat?

Why don't you hug her and find out?

Sorry for barging in on you.

Yeah, we would've called ahead, but we were

busy having no idea that you existed.

Yeah, well, Fury helped me

set this up when I joined.

He kept it off S.H.I.E.L.D.'s files.

I'd like to keep it that way.

I figure it's a good place to lay low.

Honey.

I missed you.

- How's little Natasha?

- She's...

Nathaniel.

Traitor.

- Thor?

- I saw something in that dream.

I need answers. I won't find them here.

We can go home.

See? You worried for nothing.

Can't even feel the difference, can you?

If they're sleeping here, some of them

are gonna have to double up.

Yeah, that's not gonna sell.

What about Nat and Dr. Banner?

How long has that been going on?

Has what?

- You are so cute.

- Nat and Banner?

I'll explain when you're older, Hawkeye.

Well, okay.

It's bad, right?

Nat seems really shaken.

Ultron has these allies.

These kids. They're punks, really.

But they carry a big, damn stick.

And Nat took a serious hit.

Someone's gonna have

to teach them some manners.

That someone being you.

You know I totally support

your avenging.

I couldn't be prouder.

But I see those guys... those gods...

You don't think they need me.

I think they do, which is a lot scarier.

They're a mess.

Yeah.

I guess they're my mess.

You need to be sure

that this team is really a team,

and that they have your back.

Things are changing for us.

In a few months' time, you and me

are gonna be outnumbered.

I need...

Just be sure.

Yes, ma'am.

I can feel the difference.

Scream, and your entire staff dies.

I could've killed you, Helen,

the night we met. I didn't.

- Do you expect a thank-you note?

- I expect you to know why.

The Cradle.

This is the next thing, Tony.

This is the next me.

The Regeneration Cradle prints tissue.

It can't build a living body.

It can. You can. You lack the materials.

You're a brilliant woman, Helen.

But we all have room to improve.

I didn't realize you were waiting.

I would've joined you, but...

it didn't seem like the right time.

They used up all the hot water.

- I should've joined you.

- Missed our window.

Did we?

The world just saw the Hulk.

The real Hulk, for the first time.

- You know I have to leave.

- You assume that I have to stay?

I had this dream.

The kind that seems normal at the time,

- but when you wake...

- What did you dream?

That I was an Avenger.

That I was anything more

than the assassin they made me.

I think you're being hard on yourself.

Here I was hoping that was your job.

What are you doing?

I'm running with it.

With you.

If running is the plan,

as far as you want.

Are you out of your mind?

- I want you to understand that...

- Natasha,

where can I go?

Where in the world am I not a threat?

- You're not a threat to me.

- Are you sure?

Even if I didn't just...

There's no future with me.

I can't ever... I can't have this.

Kids.

Do the math. I physically can't.

Neither can I.

In the Red Room where I was trained...

where I was raised,

they have a graduation ceremony.

They sterilize you.

It's efficient.

One less thing to worry about.

The one thing that might matter more

than a mission.

Makes everything easier.

Even killing.

You still think you're

the only monster on the team?

So, we disappear?

Thor didn't say where

he was going for answers?

Sometimes my teammates

don't tell me things.

I was kind of hoping

Thor would be the exception.

Yeah, give him time.

We don't know

what the Maximoff kid showed him.

"Earth's mightiest heroes."

Pulled us apart like cotton candy.

Seems like you walked away all right.

- Is that a problem?

- I don't trust a guy without a dark side.

Call me old-fashioned.

Well, let's just say

you haven't seen it yet.

You know Ultron is trying

to tear us apart, right?

Well, I guess you'd know. Whether

you'd tell us is a bit of a question.

- Banner and I were doing research.

- That would affect the team.

That would end the team!

Isn't that the mission?

Isn't that the "Why We Fight"? So we can

end the fight. So we get to go home!

Every time someone tries to win a war

before it starts, innocent people die.

Every time.

I'm sorry. Mr. Stark...

Clint said you wouldn't mind, but our tractor

doesn't seem to want to start at all.

- I thought maybe you might...

- Yeah, I'll give her a kick.

Don't take from my pile.

Hello, Deere.

Tell me everything.

What ails you?

Do me a favor.

Try not to bring it to life.

Why, Ms. Barton, you little minx.

I get it. Maria Hill called you, right?

- Was she ever not working for you?

- Artificial intelligence.

- You never even hesitated.

- Look, it's been a really long day,

like Eugene O'Neill long, so how's about

we skip to the part where you're useful.

Look me in the eye and tell me

you're going to shut him down.

- You're not the director of me.

- I'm not the director of anybody.

I'm just an old man

who cares very much about you.

And I'm the man who killed the Avengers.

I saw it. I didn't tell the team.

How could I?

I saw them all dead, Nick. I felt it.

The whole world, too.

Because of me.

I wasn't ready.

I didn't do all I could.

Maximoff girl, she's working you, Stark.

- Playing on your fear.

- I wasn't tricked, I was shown.

Wasn't a nightmare, it was my legacy.

The end of the path I started us on.

You come up with some

pretty impressive inventions, Tony.

War isn't one of them.

I watched my friends die. You'd think

that'd be as bad as it gets, right?

Nope.

- It wasn't the worst part.

- The worst part... is that you didn't.

I'll see you tonight.

I like the look.

If you're going for inconspicuous,

though, near miss.

- I need your help.

- It's nice to be needed.

It's dangerous.

I'd be disappointed if it wasn't.

Ultron took you folks out of play

to buy himself time.

My contacts all say

he's building something.

The amount of vibranium he made off with,

I don't think it's just one thing.

- What about Ultron himself?

- He's easy to track. He's everywhere.

The guy is multiplying faster

than a Catholic rabbit.

It still doesn't help us get an angle
