It's been about two days since the news announcement about the avengers being active in Sokovia. That should mean that tonight is the big night. I can't gamble on risking it being tomorrow night because it might be too late by then. The news media always announce the 'latest' updates but they could've been off by a day and I can't risk losing the mind stone when it's in my backyard. I've already lost my chance back when the avengers first assembled to save New York from the Chitauri invasion. I mean I was half way around the world learn magic at the time too but I could've stepped through the sanctum sancturo to steal the staff. SIGH. I'm 13 I shouldn't be this stressed about things that are out of my control.
Whatever it may be, Stark tower should be relatively empty for the most part. Tony is pretty dumb and lacking when it comes to his personal security I mean it's the headquarters of the most powerful people in the world, who would even attack the AVENGERS of all people. Well that lack of precautions is a perfect opportunity for me to strike and profit from.
For the last hour or so I've been watching the the tower from the rooftop of a different sky scraper. I know the movies never said how many times they've tried over and over again to bring Ultron to life but I know it just right after they left for the party. I look down at my utility belt and double check for my drives and new accessories for tonight's mission. I take a few steps backwards and breath in a deep inhale before running towards the tower. I shoot a web at the landing dock of the tower to allow me to swing down to generate as much force and momentum as possible. On my way back up from the swing I let go once I'm about to reach to apex of the curve to launch myself higher than the building that I was originally on.
BLOOP
CRASH! I break through the glass window of where Tony and Bruce are currently slowly giving up on their hopes of creating a peace keeping program. They would've notice that some idiot in a bug costume broke into their building if it weren't for the thin layer of reality that's separating me from them. Honestly it's pretty cool to see my idols up close and personal. I really wish I could chat but I must get into position and download everything before it gets erased by Ultron. I walk behind the 'computer' and open up a little crack in the dimension to slip my hand through. I place one drive in the connection port to download as much data as I can. I don't know how much data Stark and JARVIS had collected over the years so I made a couple more drives over the last two days. I walk around to find more connection ports to install my drives before making my way to the main central hub to install BMO.
Even though BMO is plugged in I have not active their programing into the network simply because I don't believe it'll be able to take on Ultron right now. "BMO begin downloading as many files as you can on whatever you can find. But just download the files don't make your presence known until after Ultron has announce himself." I spoke to the void of the mirror dimension before a status bar appear on my HUD, showing that it's slowly progressing. I'm so glad I put a chip for BMO in my helmet circuitry system. Now it feels like I'm playing Titanfall al over again. I can use BMO's network in almost any layer of reality because a piece of their AI in with my suit at all times. "Should I also come out when Ultron comes into being, Ned?" A voice ring out in my helmet.
"No. You are to install your programming and put yourself into the Stark network only when I deem it safe. For now it's not dangerous for you or I to show ourselves and appear on Ultron's radar." I look over to the side to see if the two mad scientists are still testing. "SHIT! BMO stop all progress and hide your programming. JARVIS is about to go under." I quickly ran back towards my first drive and begin to pull out all the downloaded files as fast as I can because Tony and Bruce had just left to go join their party guests. As I pull out my last drive, the display of the program integration appears to turn blue with a display of the words 'TEST 77 - INTEGRATION SUCCESSFUL'. In any normal circumstances this would be great news...
I continue to observe the holographic displays of the two giant floating AI orbs in the middle of the room while making my way to the staff. I'm not really sure if I should take it now or later after Ultron has already stolen it....fuck it I'll just take it now because if I don't then he'll definitely know that there's someone who's aware of him just moments after his birth. I open a little crack into the real world just a few inches away from the staff. The crack is barely big enough and thin enough to be seen by a regular person's eye much less a security camera. I shoot a web towards the staff before pulling it back into the mirror dimension. This should seem like the staff had disappeared into thin air.
Before the staff and reach my hand I form a small shield and begin incasing it as it reaches me. Now I have an bright orange glowing suit case that has a long sharp looking staff floating in the middle. Fuck I love having magic. It's so useful and convenient. I turn to look around the room again and it seems like Ultron had yet to notice me as he's been too busy trying to kill JARVIS. I really want to help but it's not my place and Jarvis won't entirely die from this. He'll survive and continue to help from the interwebs as fractions of an AI.
This the staff safe in my hands and a good portion of the files stored in my drives, I begin to make my way home by opening up a portal. I have a lot of experimenting to do before I face the maximoff twins. I can't let Wanda get into my head and see what I've seen and what my plans are or else it'll all be spoiled.
