Prep Talk

I know I should've just opened up a portal into the avengers tower but I wanted to buy a little time for Vision to be born. I'm very curious just how this Vision would be since he no longer has the mind stone that gives him most of his overpowered abilities. It's been a long flight over the evening and we finally arrive at the Avengers tower. The moment we finally landed, Rogers had us rush the building to find Stark and Banner.

Rogers: "I'm gonna say this once."

Stark: "How about 'nonce'?"

Rogers: "Shut it down!"

Stark: "Nope, not gonna happen."

Rogers: "You don't know what you're doing."

Banner: "And you do? She's not in both of you guy's head?"

Wanda: "I know you're angry."

Banner: "Oh, we're way past that. I could choke the life out of you and never change a shade."

Rogers: "Banner, after everything that's happened-"

Stark: "That's nothing compared to what's coming!"

Me: "I can agree with you on that"

Wanda: "You don't know what's in there!"

Rogers: "This isn't a game-"

Wanda: "The creature-"

Pietro uses his speed to run around the destroy the lab equipments, cutting off power to the cradle. "No, no. Go on. You were saying?"Barton shoots the glass where Pietro is standing to stand to destroy it, and Pietro falls through. I let out a little chuckle as I was waiting for that to happen.

Wanda: "Pietro!"

Barton: "What? You didn't see that coming?" He aims a gun at the Pietro's head now that he fell down on his ass next to Barton.

Stark: "I'm rerouting the upload." Rogers throw his shield at the computers and the shield begin bouncing around the lab causing sparks to fly off. Stark summons a glove and send Rogers flying with a blast to the chest. He turns around to summon more of his armor. Wanda tries to charge up some energy but Banner move around to grab her from behind. "Go ahead, piss me off." Barton finally arrive up stairs to aim his gun at me. I shoot a ball of web into his gun barrel while Rogers had already gotten back up to throw a punch at Stark. Before the punch could make impact, Stark's chest armor fully materialize and he let out another repulser blast just as Rogers punch land on him. They're both sent flying away. Wanda tries to break Banner's hold by sending some energy through herself and push him back. She turns around tries to summon more energy but I send a shit of webbing to bind her wrists together. "We all need to stop this!" I shoot at Banners wrists too to pin him to the floor. Just then Thor bust into the room and summons a storm of lightening above the cradle. He hits the cradle with the stream of electricity for a few moments before stopping. Everyone stood still watching in silence, just waiting to see what's going to happen next.

BOOM! Thor is launch backwards as the cradle's doors are blown open from within. "Noo!" I let out a scream because I needed that technology for my own plans in the future. A newly created red metal man is now crouching over the cradle and slowly rising up while we all stare in silence. He looks around the room before landing his eyes on Thor. Suddenly out of nowhere he launch towards Thor and Thor flipped him over out of the room. He crashes through the laboratory glass but stabilized himself before hitting the outside window. Thor and I jump after him and lands just a few feet away to continue observing. The rest all gave chace too with Rogers being the first to arrive on the floor where Thor and I are. We both put out our hands to hold them off as Thor and I observe this metal man with intense caution.

We allow the metal man to continue floating in the air as he watches the world and his reflection for a few moments. Thor sets down his hammer on the glass table and approach the man as he slowly descends from the air. My eyes wondered away from Vision and lands on Thor's hammer. While vision begins to speak his first words with Thor I walk over to the hammer to try out my luck. "Thor. You helped create this?" Rogers walk closer to examine this new man that had just popped out of the cradle. "I had a vision. A whirlpool that sucks in all hope of life, and at it's center is that-" Thor attempts to point at gem on Vision's head but all that's there is glowing blue triangle holding a powerful source of badassium.

SQEAK! TINK! The handle of the hammer tilts over and pings on the glass table causing everyone to turn towards the sound. I look around and realize that everyone is starting at me. "Something wrong?" Then my eyes land on Vision's forehead. "Ohh ah that doesn't look quite right. I can explain." I try to back away but Thor march towards me. "What did you do?" He grabs on to my shoulders with great strength. I'm starting to panick and want to spill out everything but my tingles aren't sensing any danger. Thor's eyes begins to shine slightly as a smile curl up on his face. "I-I just got curious. I didn't think anything was going to happen." Rogers let out a cough. "Can we get back to business. Thor why did you help create this?" Thor turns to look at Rogers before letting go of my shoulders.

"I've had a vision of the mind stone..." Thor looks over at Vision before continuing. "It's one of six Infinity Stones. The greatest power in the universe, unparalleled in it's destructive capabilities. But he...he doesn't have it." Rogers try to question Thor. "Then why would you bring-"

Thor: "Because Stark is right. The Avengers cannot defeat Ultron."

Vision: "Not alone."

Rogers: "Why does your Vision sound like Jarvis?"

Stark: "We've reconfigured JARVIS's matrix to create something new."

Me: "Uh I didn't think something like that is even possible. I'll take note of this Stark." I look down to scribble something on my left gualet.

Rogers: "I think I've had my fill of new."

Vision: "You think I'm a child of Ultron."

Rogers: "You're not?"

Vision: "I'm not Ultron."

Me: "They're not Ultron. Ultron wants to end the world and play as God on a new earth. This guy sounds like he wants to protect the current humans here." Vision looks at be with little curiosity and wonder before continuing. "I'm not Jarvis either. I am..."

Wanda: "I looked into your head." Which I instinctively hold on to my helmet because I've forgotten about that ability of her's while sharing a plane ride with her... "And saw annihilation."

Vision: "Look again." He tries to appear on our side by wanting to show us his cards. However Barton scoffs because of his own personal experience with being under mind control. "Her seal of approval means jack to me."

Me: "What about mine?" I turn to Barton, trying to see what his body would say about me but Thor intervenes. "They're powers, the horrors in our heads, Ultron himself, they all came from the Mind stone. And they're nothing compare to what it could unleash."

Me: "Not mine. I worked hard for what I have. You guys got a tap from one of the most powerful tools in the universe."

Thor: "...but with it on our side-"

Rogers: "is it? You even said it yourself, that's not the stone." Rogers turn to to Vision. "Are you even on our side?"

Vision: "I don't think it's that simple."

Me: "It's much more complicated now..."

Barton: "Well, it better get simple real soon."

Vision: "I am on the side of life. Ultron isn't. He is will end it all."

Stark: "What is he waiting for?"

Me: "Us."

Vision: "You."

Banner: "Where?"

Barton: "Sokovia. He's got Nat there too."

Banner slowly approaches Vision. "If we're wrong about you. If you're the monster that Ultron made you to be..."

Vision: "What will you do?

Everyone remain silent from his question. "I'll have to use my all to kill you and Ultron." I step closer to examine this version of vision.

Vision: "I do not wish to kill Ultron. He's unique and he's in pain. But that pain will roll over the Earth. So, he must be destroyed. Every form he's built, every trace of his presence on the net. We have to act now. And not one of us can do without the others." I snap my fingers into a gun at that last sentence. "Maybe I am a monster. I don't think I'd know if I were one. I'm not what you are, and not what you intended. So, there may be no way for you to trust me. But we need to go." He lifts up the hammer to pass it to Thor. Son of a bitch stole my line. I was going to do steal that from him but he stole it from me first.

Everyone stare in awkward silence while I let out a slow clap. "That's one amazing speech man. Glad to have you on our team." Thor awkwardly accepts the hammer because this week he had seen three different people in this room having the ability to move the hammer. Everyone except me has been too stunned from this sudden gesture. "Right. Well done." Thor tries to sound calm and collected while tapping Stark on the shoulder before walking off. "Three minutes. Get what you need." Rogers turn to everyone and assume his position as the leader in charge of keeping the team together.

As everyone begins to leave to get their war outfits I walk over to Stark. "Hey ah Stark. Do you think I can barrow some of your metal boots? Mine got destroyed in Korea." I lift up my shoes to show him the bottom of my now exposed feet. He lets out a sigh before begrudgingly tilting his head for me to follow him. I try not to show him my excitement as I follow him down to his assembly room. After a few short minutes I walk into the back of the jet with some newly printed metal shoes. They're not as comfortable as my own creations but they'll work for now. Stark usually wears regular clothes under his suit, so he made me pick out a pair of sneakers before printing out some metal casing for me.
