Avengers: Age of Ultron Page #9

---

No, no, I'm fine. Fine.

It's been a long day.

Wanda.

If you stay here...

you'll die.

I just did. Do you know how it felt?

It felt like that.

Thor, on my mark.

Now!

Hey, big guy.

We did it. The job is finished.

Now I need you to turn

this bird around, okay?

We can't track you in stealth mode.

So help me out. I need you...

You're afraid.

- Of you?

- Of death.

You're the last one.

You were supposed to be the last.

Stark asked for a savior

and settled for a slave.

I suppose we are both disappointments.

- I suppose we are.

- Humans are odd.

They think order and chaos

are somehow opposites and...

try to control what won't be.

But there is grace in their failings.

I think you missed that.

- They're doomed.

- Yes.

But a thing isn't beautiful

because it lasts.

It's a privilege to be among them.

You're unbearably naive.

Well...

I was born yesterday.

Look! Say hi to Auntie Nat!

Fat.

One of our tech boys flagged this.

Splashed down in the Banda Sea.

Could be the Quinjet.

But with Stark's stealth tech,

we still can't track the damn thing.

Right.

Probably jumped out and swam to Fiji.

He'll send a postcard.

"Wish you were here."

You sent me to recruit him

way back when.

Did you know then what was gonna happen?

You never know.

You hope for the best,

then make do with what you get.

I got a great team.

Nothing lasts forever.

Trouble, Ms. Romanoff.

No matter who wins or loses,

trouble still comes around.

The rules have changed.

- We're dealing with something new.

- The Vision is artificial intelligence.

- A machine.

- So, it doesn't count?

No, it's not like a person

lifting the hammer.

Right, different rules for us.

- Nice guy. Artificial.

- Thank you.

He can wield the hammer,

he can keep the Mind Stone.

It's safe with the Vision.

And these days, safe is in short supply.

But if you put the hammer

in an elevator...

- It would still go up.

- Elevator's not worthy.

I'm gonna miss

these little talks of ours.

- Not if you don't leave.

- I have no choice.

The Mind Stone is the fourth of the Infinity

Stones to show up in the last few years.

It's not a coincidence.

Someone has been playing

an intricate game and has made pawns of us.

And once all these pieces

are in position...

Triple Yahtzee.

- You think you can find out what's coming?

- I do.

Besides this one, there's nothing

that can't be explained.

That man has no regard

for lawn maintenance.

I'm gonna miss him, though.

And you're gonna miss me.

There's gonna be a lot of manful tears.

- I will miss you, Tony.

- Yeah?

Well, it's time for me to tap out.

Maybe I should take a page

out of Barton's book.

Build Pepper a farm,

hope nobody blows it up.

- The simple life.

- You'll get there one day.

I don't know. Family, stability...

The guy who wanted all that

went in the ice 75 years ago.

I think someone else came out.

You all right?

I'm home.

You wanna keep staring at the wall,

or do you wanna go to work?

I mean, it's a pretty interesting wall.

I thought you and Tony were still gazing

into each other's eyes. How do we look?

- Well, we're not the '27 Yankees.

- We got some hitters.

- They're good. They're not a team.

- Let's beat them into shape.

Avengers...

Fine.

I'll do it myself.
