THE AVENGERS, plus Maria and Helen, sat laughing, feeling jolly. The party farewell had long died down, and it was now only the few of them remaining.

"But it's a trick." A newly recovered Clint sat, flicking about his drumsticks. "No, no, it's much more than that." Thor corrected.

"'Ah, whosoever be he worthy shall haveth the power.'" Clint mocked, dramatically pointing at Mjölnir. "Whatever, man! It's a trick!"

"Please, be my guest." Thor dared the man to try and pick it up, and Clint being Clint, took him up on the offer.

"Oh, this is gonna be beautiful." Rhodes chuckled. "Clint, you've had a tough week. We won't hold it against you if you can't get it up." Tony teased, causing everyone to laugh.

"You know i've seen this before, right?" Clint spoke, still full of confidence as he tried to grab the hammer, but it didn't budge. Clint laughed, "I still don't know how you do it."

"Smell the silent judgement." Clint pointed at the man, "Please, Stark, by all means."

Tony cockily stood up, undoing his suit jacket button with one hand, causing a small murmur. "Never on to shrink from an honest challenge."

"Get after it." Clint sat back down, watching the scene. "It's physics." Tony looped his hand through the material before grabbing the handle. "Right, so, If I lift it, I then rule Asgard?"

"Yes, of course."

"I will be reconstituting prima nocta." Tony made himself comfortable in his position position before using all his strength to try and lift the hammer, but it didn't budge. "I'll be right back."

He soon returned with his Iron hand, once again attempting to lift it, though as expected, it stayed where it was.

Rhodes and his Robotic hand now joined Tony, the two men huffing and puffing. "Are you even pulling?" Rhodes questioned causing Tony to glance up at him. "Are you on my team?"

"Just represent, pull."

"Alright, let's go."

After a few minutes, with multiple more people trying, Steve took his turn.

"Come on, Cap." Clint hyped as the man rolled up his sleeves, getting a steady hand on the hammer.

He pulled at it, a awkward noise coming from the hammer. Nobody realised that Steve had actually lifted it ever so slightly, apart from Thor, who's smile immediately dropped.

Steve soon stopped, stepping away and taking defeat. Thor was the first to laugh, "Nothing."

"And, Widow?" Bruce questioned the women, who smirked. "Oh, no, no. That's not a question I need answered."

"All defence to the Man who Wouldn't Be King, but it's rigged." Tony voiced, "You bet your ass."

"Steve, he said a bad language word." Maria teased. Steve sighed, glancing over to Tony, "Did you tell everyone about that?"

"The handles imprinted, right? Like a security code. 'Whosoever is carrying Thor's fingerprints is, I think, the literal translation." Tony ignored Steve, not dropping his thought on Mjölnir being rigged.

"Yes. It's a very, very interesting theory. I have a simpler one." Thor began, standing up. "Your all not worthy." He picked up Mjölnir, flipping it in his hand as everyone booed.

Suddenly, a high pitched noise infested the room, causing everyone to cover their ears.

Tony pulled out his hologram screen, trying to suss out the problem, but it seemed the problem had already joined them in the room.

"Worthy, no." The mess of a robot began. "How could you be worthy? You're all killers."

"Stark."

"Jarvis."

"I'm sorry, I was asleep. Or, I was a... Dream."

"Reboot Legionnaire OS. We got a buggy suit." Tony spoke, glancing back over to his screen.

"There was this terrible noise. And I was tangled in... In... Strings." The robot tugged at the loose wires. "I had to kill the other guy. He was a good guy."

"You killed someone?" Steve harshly questioned.

"Wouldn't have been my first call." The robot almost joked. "But, down in the real world, we're faced with ugly choices."

"Who sent you?" The God asked.

Suddenly, Tony's voice began to play from the robot. "'I see a suit of armour around the world.'"

"Ultron." Bruce breathed out.

"In the flesh. Or no, not yet. Not this chrysalis. But i'm ready. I'm on a mission."

Maria stood up, turning the safety off of her gun as Thor helped his hammer tighter, getting a better grip.

"What mission?" Natasha voiced.

"Peace in our time." Ultron responded.

Suddenly, 3 flying robots bursted through the walls, immediately attacking the Avengers.
