Chapter 13: Global Threat
[Morning – HYDRA Facility Perimeter]
The HYDRA facility was a towering concrete fortress on the edge of the city. This wasn't a back-alley op; this was a frontal assault. Adam and Anya crouched behind a dumpster, the air cold and damp. The system was humming with a new objective.
[SYSTEM: Objective: Disrupt Ultron's plans.]
"Plans? I'll spark 'em out!" Adam whispered, his hands a faint, familiar glow in the shadows. He used his plasma to create a quick, localized burst of energy, shorting out a nearby security light. A guard, startled by the sudden darkness, tripped over a loose wire, his panicked yell a welcome alarm.
"Don't blow us up, Stiels," Anya whispered, her spider-sense a low hum in her mind.
A voice cut through their comms. It was Tony Stark. "Nice stealth, kid—don't fry my tech."
"Your tech? I'm the star!" Adam shot back, the familiar quip a nervous comfort.
Ultron's close. Time to glow. The threat felt more real now that Stark was involved. This wasn't just a Hell's Kitchen problem anymore. It was an Avengers-level threat.
[Afternoon – Facility Core]
The interior was a sterile nightmare of white walls and humming servers. Drones, sleek and deadly, patrolled the corridors. Adam and Anya moved through them with a practiced, silent grace. They found the core, a massive, glowing server full of Ultron's code.
[SYSTEM: Mastery: Stealth at 15%, Plasma at 40%.]
"40%? I'm a glowing ninja!" Adam said, his voice a low, excited whisper. He felt the plasma coursing through him, an almost-perfect extension of his will.
"Focus, Stiels—this is huge," Anya said, pointing at the schematics.
A drone whirred to life, its red eye focusing on them. An operative rushed them from a side corridor. "You're done!"
"Done? I'm sparking!" Adam said, a small plasma blast aimed at the drone. The drone's lights shorted out, and it began to spin wildly, its lights flashing like a firework display.
Tony's voice was a sharp crackle in their comms. "That's my code, kid—careful."
"Careful? I'm epic!" Adam said, but his voice lacked its usual bravado. This was too big.
Ultron's core? Gotta stop it.
[Evening – Core Battle]
The core room was a battleground. Drones and operatives swarmed them. Matt, a shadow in the chaos, joined the fight.
"Ultron's waking up, kid," Tony warned, his voice urgent.
"Waking? I'll glow it back to sleep!" Adam yelled, his hands a blur of plasma blasts, taking down drone after drone. Anya was a constant blur of motion, her webs an endless net of chaos.
"Nice shots, Stiels!" she yelled, a hint of admiration in her voice.
"HYDRA's pushing hard," Matt said, a grunt of effort in his voice.
"Hard? I'm a legend!" Adam said, but the words felt hollow.
"Hopeless," Anya sighed.
Ultron's alive? I'm more alive. He had to stop this. He had to win. He focused all his plasma into a single, massive wave, shorting out the core server and a dozen drones at once. The room plunged into darkness, the only light the glow of his hands.
[Night – Hell's Kitchen Safehouse]
The three of them stood around a tablet, the schematics now safe in their possession. They had done it. They had stopped Ultron's initial emergence. Tony's voice came through on a secure comm.
[SYSTEM: Objective: Prepare for Ultron.]
"New sim? I'm glowing for it!" Adam said, his exhaustion a dull thrum beneath his excitement. The system's new suggestion was a welcome one. He needed to get a new skill, something to counter this new threat.
"Too excited, Stiels," Anya said, but she wasn't arguing. She knew he was right.
"Nice work, kid. Don't break my stuff," Tony said.
"Your stuff? I'm the hero," Adam shot back.
"Plan smart, Stiels," Matt said, his voice a low growl of warning.
Ultron's coming. Time for a sim.
