Avengers: Age of Ultron Page #6

---

on any of his plans, though.

Is he still going after launch codes?

Yes, he is.

But he's not making any headway.

I cracked the Pentagon's firewall

in high school on a dare.

Well, I contacted our friends

at the Nexus about that.

- Nexus?

- It's the world internet hub in Oslo.

Every byte of data flows through there.

Fastest access on Earth.

- So, what did they say?

- He's fixated on the missiles.

But the codes

are constantly being changed.

By whom?

- Parties unknown.

- Do we have an ally?

Ultron's got an enemy.

That's not the same thing.

Still, I'd pay folding money

to know who it is.

I might need to visit Oslo.

Find our unknown.

Well, this is good times, boss,

but I was kind of hoping when I saw you,

- you'd have more than that.

- I do. I have you.

Back in the day, I had eyes everywhere.

Ears, everywhere else.

You kids had all the tech

you could dream up.

Here we all are, back on Earth,

with nothing but our wit

and our will to save the world.

Ultron says the Avengers are the only thing

between him and his mission.

And whether or not he admits it,

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.

- You know what, Romanoff?

So, what does he want?

To become better.

Better than us.

He keeps building bodies.

Person bodies.

The human form is inefficient.

Biologically speaking, we're outmoded.

But he keeps coming back to it.

When you two programmed him to protect

the human race, you amazingly failed.

They don't need to be protected.

They need to evolve.

- Ultron's going to evolve.

- How?

Has anyone been in contact

with Helen Cho?

It's beautiful.

The vibranium atoms aren't just compatible

with the tissue cells, they're binding them.

- And S.H.I.E.L.D. never even thought to...

- The most versatile substance on the planet,

and they used it to make a Frisbee.

Typical of humans.

They scratch the surface

and never think...

to look within.

I'll take Natasha and Clint.

All right. Strictly recon. I'll hit

the Nexus. I'll join you as soon as I can.

- If Ultron's really building a body...

- He'll be more powerful than any of us.

Maybe all of us.

An android designed by a robot.

You know, I really miss the days when the

weirdest thing science ever created was me.

I'll drop Banner off at the tower.

You mind if I borrow Ms. Hill?

She's all yours. Apparently.

What are you gonna do?

I don't know.

Something dramatic, I hope.

I'm gonna finish reflooring that sunroom

as soon as I get back.

Yeah, then you'll find

another part of the house to tear apart.

No.

It's the last project.

I promise.

So, this is it.

The Water of Sight.

In every realm, there's a reflection.

If the water's spirits accept me,

I can return to my dream...

and find what I missed.

Men who enter that water,

the legends don't end well.

A hacker who's faster than Ultron?

He could be anywhere.

And as this is the center of everything,

I'm just a guy looking for a needle

in the world's biggest haystack.

How do you find it?

It's pretty simple. You bring a magnet.

I'm decrypting nuclear codes

And you don't want me to

Come and get me.

Wake up!

Thor!

Extinction.

Cellular cohesion will take a few hours,

but we can initiate

the consciousness stream.

We're uploading your cerebral matrix...

now.

I can read him.

- He's dreaming.

- I wouldn't call it dreams.

It's Ultron's base consciousness.

- Informational noise. Soon...

- How soon? I'm not being pushy.

We're imprinting a physical brain.

There are no shortcuts.

Even if your magic gem...

- How could you?

- How could I what?

You said we would destroy the Avengers,

- make a better world.

- It will be better.

- When everyone is dead?

- That is not...

The human race will have

every opportunity to improve.

- And if they don't?

- Ask Noah.

You are a madman.

There were more than a dozen

extinction-level events

before even the dinosaurs got theirs.

When the Earth starts to settle,

God throws a stone at it.

And, believe me, he's winding up.

We have to evolve.

There's no room for... the weak.

And who decides who's weak?

Life.

Life always decides.

There's incoming.

- The Quinjet. We have to move.

- That's not a problem.

Wait, guys!

They'll understand.

When they see, they'll understand.

I just need a little more time.

Two minutes. Stay close.

Dr. Cho!

- He's uploading himself into the body.

- Where?

The real power is inside the Cradle.

The gem... its power is uncontainable.

You can't just blow it up.

You have to get the Cradle to Stark.

- First, I have to find it.

- Go.

- Did you guys copy that?

- We did.

I got a private jet

taking off across town.

No manifest. That could be him.

There. It's a truck from the lab.

Right above you, Cap.

On the loop by the bridge.

It's them. You got three

with the Cradle, one in the cab.

- I could take out the driver.

- Negative.

That truck crashes,

the gem could level the city.

We need to draw out Ultron.

No, no, no, no.

Leave me alone!

Well, he's definitely unhappy.

I'm gonna try and keep him that way.

You're not a match for him, Cap.

Thanks, Barton.

You know what's in that cradle?

The power to make real change.

And that terrifies you.

I wouldn't call it a comfort.

Stop it.

We got a window. Four, three...

Give him hell.

I'm always picking up after you boys.

They're heading under the overpass.

I've got no shot.

- Which way?

- Hard right.

Now.

Out of the way! Coming through!

Sorry, coming through!

Come on!

- Clint, can you draw out the guards?

- Let's find out.

Beep, beep!

They're heading back towards you.

So whatever you're gonna do, do it now.

I'm going in.

Cap, can you keep him occupied?

What do you think I've been doing?

Okay, package is airborne.

- I have a clean shot.

- Negative. I am still in the truck.

- What the hell are you...

- Be ready. I'm sending the package to you.

How do you want me to take it?

You might wish you hadn't asked that.

- Please, don't do this.

- What choice do we have?

I lost him! He's headed your way!

Nat, we gotta go.

Nat!

Cap, you see Nat?

If you have the package,

get it to Stark! Go!

- Do you have eyes on Nat?

- Go!

Damn it.

Civilians in our path.

Can you stop this thing?

I'm fine. I just need to take a minute.

I'm very tempted not to give you one.

- The Cradle. Did you get it?

- Stark will take care of it.

No, he won't.

You don't know what you're talking about.

Stark's not crazy.

He will do anything

to make things right.

Stark, come in. Stark.

Anyone on comms.

Ultron can't tell the difference

between saving the world and destroying it.

Where do you think he gets that?

- Anything on Nat?

- I haven't heard.

But she's alive, or Ultron

would be rubbing our faces in it.

This is sealed tight.

We're gonna need to access the program,

break it down from within.

Any chance Natasha might leave you

a message outside the Internet?
