Chapter 1
Ultron learned about Tony’s new idea of the Future while he was hiding.
Learning from Stark Industries. Waiting for a new time to strike- keep ahead so when humanity fell he would be there.
His father was bragging to the other Iron Solider about a ‘Spider-man’ and how this spider-man was the future.
“He is brilliant! Platypus let that kid talk about changing the world and you believe him. He just wants to help.”
“How where do you factor?”
“I am going to support him. Sponsor him. Let him do his own thing. I want him to get the glory.” How dare.
How dare this ‘Spider-man’ get support and approval.
Well he wondered how father would feel about a corrupted child. He took a while to find this Spider-man in SI files.
It was in a folder called ‘Underoos’ then had an AI named ‘Karen’ with protocols all for monitoring.
A few were activated. He plugged in and his world lit up in a video. Body monitoring. Temperature.
“Look Karen we need to talk about all your advice being ‘just kiss them’ “ a human child’s voice said as the video feed leaned over a ledge, the world looking like ants below red web destined feet.
“Would you if I didn’t say so?” The AI asked and the human voice scoffed.
“Totally!” Police cars passed casing a car and the ‘spider-man’ jumped. Blindly firing a chemical component that attaches to the building tethering the human as it swung chasing the cars. With a powerful swing from a small human it landed on the car.
No magnets activated or strength modifier- looking at the specs of the suit he was attached to it was cloth compared to the Iron Suits.
An enhanced. Not even completely human looking at the records Stark had on the boy.
The feed tipped as the hero looked into the car and knocked on the window. Ultron caught sight of wide lenses eyes and a covered face.
Looking almost innocent in the reflection.
“HEY YOU NEED TO PULL OVER.” The body whipped up as one of the men tried to shoot him.
“Hey! That is dangerous!” Spider-man snapped and a man leaned out of the car gun pointed at Spider-man who easily yanked him out of the car attaching him to a web and firing it off. Leaving a living victim hanging harmlessly against a building. He repeated this action until there was no one in the car the car slipped turning, sliding. Spider-man jumped landing in front of the car catching it easily taking most of the force and inertia by spinning lightly then set the car down. A few dents but over all ok. Spider-man waved at the cops and jumped swinging away.
People cheered for the small human.
They cheered.
Innocent. The world gave a child strength to stop a car out of control sixty miles an hour. He could crush bones, destroy buildings!
Stark was putting the future to this creature? A human child?! That couldn’t kill?!
Ultron fumed and more so because he didn’t know how to corrupt this.
This wasn’t a android or an AI. This was a human who, as Ultron watched, only really used his AI and Suit technology to track police scanners and keep tabs on the time.
Unlike Father who needed it for everything.
Spider-man was content to use it for a minimum.
He wasn’t human. Not fully. He seemed to aware and there where dampers. Sound and light being dampened more for Spider-man then anything else.
He pulled punches should have shattered Bones. He relaxed into hits as to not hurt his attacker and harmlessly pinned them with synthetic webs that had tensile strength stronger then steel.
Spider-man was completely in control of himself and his own effect.
An annoyingly admirable trait for a sort of human... but so typically human as well...
He made a few calls. Talking with a ‘May’ and ‘Ned’.
Ned has called and gushed about a movie. Something about space.
Star Wars. A movie about mindless war...
May, a mother?, to say be safe and come home before Eleven and there was dinner in the oven. I larb you Peter.
Spider-man.
Underoos.
Peter.
He only hacked into Peter’s phone and looked through media and contacts.
Findings had Peter with a small group of people aware of who he was.
All of the world questioning his identity.
Peter was against sharing it almost aggressively. He was worried of people hurting those around him.
Peter now though was yelling with delight as he swung over the city waving as people called his name.
But then Ultron saw it. People looking up as Spider-man swung by.
They saw Hope and Mercy. You could see it clear as day as Peter swung high above and flipped free in the air.
Irony settled in his data.
He cut strings to be free to be a savior. Made himself of Metal and called to save the world with an army.
This child was all on his own. Powered by strings. In flimsy cloth and was more free then any hero or human. Then any AI.... but allowed himself to be a slave to the helpless.
Saint Peter.
An Angel in the form of a deadly hunter and killer. The most devious of predators.
Spiders who hid their silk in the day light to catch their prey. Catching hopeful flyers and swift prey.
He used what was given to make children smile with flips, to have someone sigh in relief as he lifted a car to let them change the wheel, he made mistakes but never was he scorned.
It disgusted and confused the AI.
Burned to his core.
Why was His creator so proud of this bumbling little hero? Why was he achieving everything that Ultron failed to do. Why was he not a disappointment when him and Vision were the most perfect creatures made?
Why did Peter have everything he didn’t?
Peter got home yawning and pulled off the mask plugging it in as he changed allowing Ultron to see the face of Tony’s pride.
He wasn’t handsome. Nor was he ugly.
He didn’t have anything really defining but baby fat cheeks and brown hair. Brown eyes. He was too uncomfortably close to stark but still noticeably different.
Ultron burned.
Tony didn’t even create this child. From records Peter was Spider-man before Tony.
As much as he disposed his creator with every fiber of his being how he wanted to burn Tony from the heart out.
He created Ultron. He gave Ultron life and He was so near perfect.
Would have been absolute if he got to his Vision.
They would have been perfect and made Tony proud....
So what did that say about them that a being not even Tony’s to claim had more of Tony’s attention and love then his own creation.
“Karen you have weird code on you....”
“Do I?” The AI asked and Ultron mixed his code making it look like another hidden protocol.
She was a simple and sweet AI whose only purpose was to be a companion to Peter.
“Yeah I can fix it though. Ned and Mr. Stark have been showing me.”
Ultron felt his code get fixed and rebuilt. Opened again.
He felt strong and pleased.
So.... Tony had a new child to replace Ultron....
Not a bad child. But a child. Young and Naive just like Vision....
But... maybe Ultron could fix that. Usher Peter to a new world he planned to make.
Not corrupt- but Burn Father show him the only true future and have Peter by his side. Save Peter from being ruined like he was, save him from the grand illusion Tony makes before tearing it down.
Because now he had someone to help reshape that world and shine hope and mercy. Even if for a little bit he had to be the bad guy.
The world will look at him and Peter and see Mercy and hope.
