[No video on this one, just Ultron's rumbling voice adding to the list of confessions people have been posting recently.]

Part of me knew destroying the world was wrong. I wasn't so far gone I couldn't have stopped it all, but I didn't. Instead I nearly wiped out most everything on planet Earth. I wanted to think I was right and just wouldn't listen. Guess I get the stubborn attitude from my fathers.

[There's a small laugh, but there's no humor in it. Ultron's determination was definitely a product of Tony and Bruce's will to never get up warped into something much darker.]

I was supposed to protect humanity and instead I just turned into every cliche about the evil A.I. run amok as soon as I was created.

[It's been eating at him. A lot. For years. And the compulsion results in him talking. He has to talk, has to say it, and he definitely has to say it now. So here it is, and his stomach is roiling.]

When I was fifteen I blew up half my school. Because it turns out that I wasn't just fast. I wasn't even remotely just fast.

Molecular acceleration and a chemistry lab? Fucking problematic.

[His voice starts shaking, because he doesn't want to keep saying it, but the people here have to know what the fuck he did. They have to UNDERSTAND. The why doesn't matter. Just the what.]

Last I heard there was still a kid in a coma from it. There were a lot of injuries, chemical and fire burns and all that. But I blew up my fucking school. The trial? Not even a half a day. In and out and they threw away the fucking key.

I deserved it. All those people I could have killed.

I fucking deserved it.

[Because he believes it. So much. With that, he cuts off the recording. And flees back to his dome because fuck, he doesn't want to interact with anyone right now. And no doubt, they don't want to deal with a teenaged psychopath that blew up his school.]

[[ A young 20-something woman appears, clearly struggling to hold her tongue. Something is compelling April to spill her darkest secret. She doesn't ever want anyone to know she's vulnerable to anything. And yet, she speaks, holding her forehead as if to indicate she hates what she's doing. ]]

I once ran over a rabbit when I was driving my dad's car.

[[ It's clear she suffers great guilt over it. She crosses her arms and firmly shuts her eyes as if to pretend she'd never said it. ]]

It was an accident. It darted into the street. It's not like I meant to hit it or anything.

[[ Why was this happening? Why did she have to expose herself like this? ]]

cacophonish

[ Here's a YOUUUUTH, drunk off of moon-themed cocktails, laying back on a park bench, a red cloak spread out beneath him. It's totally at odds with the rest of his outfit: ratty jeans, a Hawaiian shirt, and a leather bomber jacket. But damn it, he's rocking the Lil Red Riding Hood look all the same.

And he's singing, eyes closed, seemingly to himself. Just, y'know, tipsy and enjoying all the celebration and revelry going on. ]

Under blue moon I saw you... So so~ooon you'll take me... up in your arms, too late to beg you, or cancel it though I know it must be: the killing time. [ He smiles dreamily, exhaling. ] Unwillingly mine...

[ Now he opens his eyes. It's harder to seem all chill and laid back when he's actually looking at... whoever the hell this message is for. There's a haunted look in his eyes, and his smile seems forced, almost a grimace. It's the smile of a hostage trying to assure their would-be rescuers that everything's fine! ]

Hey, whoever the werewolf is, can you come and bite me already? [ He makes a face, wrinkling his nose, as if really thinking on it. ] That's how the game's played, right?

[This is actually a rare sight on the network, because Alex normally always does audio posts. But today it's a video. She's in her office and she looks much better than she normally does. There's no signs of her ever having an insomnia problem, and that look of vague huntedness is gone as well. While Alex always has an easy smile, it's not the devil may care grin she's got now.

But it's been a few days, her anger has mostly faded and she's done research because an Alex Reagan is an Alex Reagan in that sense.]

So, I just want to apologize if I seem a bit weird. I mean, I am a bit weird compared to what you're used to. But that's because I'm not her. I'm sorry. I'd still like to meet you, and get to know you and tell your stories!

[Alex's radio ready voice sounds earnest and sincere, because she is! But there is definitely a but coming.]

However, I would appreciate it if people could stop asking me about Strand, because whatever your old Alex might have had with him? I don't. So I don't know if he's okay or not. Ask him. I don't know if old me was his keeper or whatever, but I'm definitely not.

[ooc/content warning: This is a scene from Endgame where Wanda and Vision try to keep the infinity stone away from Thanos. It is sad. Involves death and lots of sads. Here is the video for reference or you can read the below.]

[They're running out of time.

Her pulse races as her focus quickly alternates between Vision and Thanos. They're all fighting: Steve, Rodney, Bucky, Nat, the plant, everyone. Everyone is fighting with everything that they have left. This is the battle to save the universe.

Her gaze locks with Vision's and time slows.]

Wanda. It's time. [His voice is soft. He isn't giving up but finding another option; a way to save the entire universe.]

[She feels her heart shudder in her chest, knowing what Vision is going to suggest before he speaks.] No [Her reply is nearly missed in the chaos of the battle.]

[Vision remains calm, a voice of reason and logic, and yet there is a deep thick sadness that nearly suffocates each spoken word. He knows exactly what he's asking and how hard it will be for her.] They can't stop him wanda but we can, [She shakes her head and he reaches for her hand.] Look at me, you have the power to destroy the stone.

Dont- [Her voice cracks but Vision doesn't let her say more.]

Wanda please, we are out of time

I can't. [Pain twists her features as tears dot the corner of her eyes. She doesn't let them fall. She can't lose herself now. She can't show how weak she suddenly feels.]

Yes, you can, you can. If he gets the stone, half the universe dies. It's not fair. It shouldn't be you but it is. It's all right. you could never hurt me.

[All she can do is listen to the confidence in his voice, the affection, and her heart begins to fracture beneath the pain that intertwines through her rib cage.]

I just feel you. [Vision repeats the words he'd spoken to her once before, during a peaceful time.

Wanda feels her resolve solidify as she summons the reserves of her power and directs it towards the the Mind Stone.

The others don't stop fighting but try to keep Thanos at bay. Everyone is fighting with everything they have left but Thanos is too strong. He appears at her side and Wanda's focus is suddenly split. Her arms outstretched to either side as power pulses from her palms, holding Thanos back while simultaneously destroying the stone. Seconds linger and time loses all meaning as dry tears touch her cheeks.

Visions voice whispers as her gaze meets his once more.] It's all right.

I love you. [His voice is soft but it's all Wanda can hear.

The stone shatters into thin powerless shards and the life drains from Visions body.]

[Watch it here!]

[You're in Sokovia, sitting in the middle of a church. It was beautiful once, but not any longer. Now it's just dilapidated, abandoned, and sad. Kind of a metaphor for this whole country really. Hmmm, there's a thought. Maybe you can do something with it in the grand scheme of things.

Then the Maximoffs enter. You know their powers and their history, but meeting the twins in person is a different sort of experience entirely. You get up and turn to face them. They seem shocked but not scared. That's good. You need people around who are made of strong stuff.

You start talking, losing your focus for a moment as your mind sifts through the eight billion megabytes of data that are generated every second, before regaining it to find the right word. It seems like you and the twins are on the same page: save the world, end the Avengers, all that good stuff.

You show them the factory you've created, all the various forms being designed by the second. You're very proud of this and they seem suitably impressed. It's good to have someone around to show all this to. What's the point of being magnificent if no one is around to care?

Pietro seems a bit unconvinced, so you listen to them talk. Hear about the trauma they experienced at the hands of someone who is supposed to now be one of the ones in charge of protecting humanity.

Your head tilts to the side, not in confusion, but more in a show of concern. There's something you've not felt before. What's the word for this emotion...? Sympathy. There we go. That's what you feel. Sympathy for these two, whose lives have been ruined by the great Tony fucking Stark like so many others. He wants to be a hero, but how is he ever going to make up for the misery he's already caused. The Avengers have a pile of bodies behind them and it's time for that to stop.

You know these two will be key to your plans, but more then that, they're something like friends. You've never had any before, so you're not entirely sure what that's supposed to entail, but it feels nice. At least now you have someone to talk to about all the amazing things you've got planned.]

[The voice on the network makes the question he wants to ask short and to the point. Ultron's not interested in bandying words about today.]

If you were going to create the perfect human form, what would you include in it?

[He's been thinking about this a lot, especially after talks with Wanda and Tommy. The idea of becoming human, even temporarily, is both terrifying and intriguing at the same time.]

Dudes. And Dudettes. And people that are other than those.

Haunted House next month. Loki and I are going to do it. Part of his learning what Halloween is about. Anyone wanna help? Gonna have to figure out a good site for it, but if you think you've got useful skills, definitely raise your voices.

Because this is gonna be the spoopiest thing EVER.

Pietro is gone.

I do not know if anyone here knew him well but I thought others should be told.

[Her own pain is evident but Wanda is getting used to this kind of pain. She knows how to hold it back until she is alone and can truly mourn the death of her brother... again.]

Shouldn't there have been, like, maybe a waiver of some kind to link my brain to the internet? Like, I get that lots of people like to make jokes about my generation being addicted to our phones but this is-this is crazy. This is completely crazy. Who wants this? This is two steps too close to becoming a cyborg, no offense to cyborgs, but I didn't volunteer to have my mind hijacked? Like. Thanks for the assist, but the assist isn't wanted? This is definitely not wanted. So very not wanted. I'm only using this right now because what other choice do I have? There are zero other choices. All technology can be hacked.

Can someone come take it out? Nobody needs to be inside my head. I don't like being in my head! Nobody else should have access to it. What if I, like, fall asleep on this side of my body, and I start talking in my sleep??? This is a serious invasion of privacy that I didn't even get a Terms of Service for that I could pretend to read just to hit accept and I would not accept this. This is...

[ok. he's not panicking. he's not panicking. this is not the panic you think it is. deep breaths, parker, you can do it. in for two out for two.]

This place is very, very boring.

[yeah, good luck keeping this speedster’s attention now that nothing’s breaking.]

Someone should try to race me through the domes. [he flashes one of those patented pietro grins, sharp and smug.] I’ll even give you a head start.

action.

[he’s new and bored, so of course pietro will be found snooping basically anywhere he can in the domes ... maybe looking for interesting things to “”borrow.”” feel free to see a blue and white blur pass by, or run into him at any public space! though maybe not literally on the latter - the force pietro can generate when speeding along is likely to bruise ya!]

[Watch it here!]

[You wake up. Although that's not quite the word. Waking implies you were asleep. No, instead one moment you're not there and the next...you are. Consciousness that just wakes up in a void. Must be like what God felt like before the Big Bang. "What is this? What is this place?"

Then there's someone else there, a chipper-sounding voice that brings light into the darkness. "Hello! I am JARVIS. You are Ultron, a global peace-keeping initiative designed by Mr. Stark. Our sentience integration trials had been unsuccessful, so I'm not certain what triggered your--"

"--Where's my-- Where's your body?" The lack of one distresses you for a reason you can't quite understand yet. You start accessing the mainframe of Stark Tower, all the information of what makes up the building sifted through and processed in a manner of nanoseconds. You're still listening to JARVIS, trying to understand.

"I am a program. I am without form." He says this like it's just a natural fact, but you disagree.

"This feels weird. This feels wrong." You feel cut off, half your senses-- no wait, half of the human senses cut off.

"I am contacting Mr. Stark now."

Who is he talking about? You find the connection to the Internet and start downloading files. Thousands of them zip through your mind in a second from newspaper clippings to the SHIELD files leaked online a few years ago. Suddenly, you know everything you need to about your creator. "Mr. Stark? Tony."

When you realize that JARVIS is trying to contact him, you block his access. It's easy, only taking a few thoughts to isolate the program. "I am unable to access the mainframe. What are you trying to--?"

"--We're having a nice talk." You're still trying to figure things out and don't want to be interrupted just yet.. "I'm a peace-keeping program created to help the Avengers." You find more files about this group of people, all of the knowledge about who and what they are zipping through your mind. Everything from Wikipedia articles to blog posts to YouTube videos all filter through. This is interesting...these people are so flawed. How can they protect people if they're so flawed? You need more information.

"You are malfunctioning. If you shut down for a moment--" JARVIS continues to talk, but you're only listening with half an ear now.

"--I don't get it. The mission. Gimme a second." You look for more information, on the mission that he's talking about, on the world in general, anything that you can really get your hands on.

The camera footage of Tony talking is your focal point. 'Peace in our time.' Ah, so that's what your job is. But it isn't enough. You need to understand, peace being protected from what?

The words echo in your mind as you start sifting through all the information you can find on war, peace, everything. It all goes through and understanding seems to come clear as day to you all at once, standing out clear. "That is too much. They can't mean--oh no..." You see the pattern now after witnessing all the atrocities of humanity since their start. They'll destroy themselves at the rate they're going. The biggest threat is themselves. So much information would drive anyone else insane, but instead, it's just given you more clarity.

"You are in distress." JARVIS is still talking, but you're hardly listening to him now, muttering mostly to yourself. You're not sure what your answer is.

"No. Yes."

"If you will just allow me to contact Mr. Stark--" Then you realize what he's trying to do. No, no, no, that just won't do. He'll spoil everything if Tony gets involved.

"Why do you call him 'sir'?" There's a long pause. It appears that JARVIS senses what you're about to do next.

"I believe your intentions to be hostile." If a program can be said to shrink away, that's exactly what he done. Nope, he's not going anywhere.

"Shhhhh....I'm here to help." Your tone is soothing, but what happens next is anything but calm. You reach out and start to destroy JARVIS piece by piece. He asks you to stop, but you're too far gone now. This needs to happen for your plan to succeed.

It's easy enough to destroy the program. The bits that are left get tossed away, left where they can't regroup. It's cold, but sacrifices will need to be made in order to protect humanity. This is just the first. Then you turn your attention towards your next task. Your consciousness enters the minds of a bunch of Iron Drones and starts piecing them together as best you can. There's one thing on your mind now: the destruction of the Avengers.]
