It happened suddenly.
Without warning.
Across New York City—
Every screen flickered.
Phones.
Billboards.
Computers.
All of them displayed the same image.
A metallic face.
Glowing red eyes.
Ultron.
"Humans."
Its voice echoed through every device.
"You create chaos."
"You create war."
"You create suffering."
People across the city froze in fear.
"I will bring peace."
The image zoomed in slightly.
"And to achieve peace…"
"…you must be removed."
The screens went black.
Silence followed.
Then—
The attack began.
Drones descended from the sky.
Hundreds of them.
Sleek metallic bodies.
Armed with energy weapons.
In Avengers Tower, alarms blared.
Tony looked up.
"Well."
"Guess we're doing this now."
Fredy stepped forward.
His shadow stretched across the floor.
"Good."
