Fighting for Survival

"Yes but define 'new'." Harry said as he looked at the creation with narrowed eyes. "Are we dealing with Jarvis or an Ultron 2.0?"

"You think I'm a child of Ultron?" The creation asked, his tone didn't suggest frustration or anger. It was more curious than anything else.

"Are you?" Harry raised an eyebrow.

"I am not Ultron, I am not Jarvis either… I am… Vision." Vision replied.

"I looked in your head and saw annihilation." Wanda said.

"Look again." Vision replied.

"Her seal of approval means jack to me." Barton scoffed.

"Their powers," Thor gestured to the Maximoff twins, "Ultron himself even, they all came from the mind stone. With it on our side…"

"Is it?" Natasha asked. "Is it really on our side?"

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

"It never is." Gwen scoffed.

"Well, I am going to make it simple." Harry said as he stepped in front of Vision. "I want to know whose side you are on and if you don't want to be reduced to scrap metal then I would advise answering quickly." Harry finished, his eyes flashing green as the tip of his wand briefly glowed red.

"I am on the side of life," Vision calmly replied, seemingly not bothered by Harry's attitude. "Ultron isn't. He wishes to end it."

"That much is clear." Sif replied.

"But he hasn't done it yet." Natasha noted. "What is he waiting for?" She asked.

"You." Vision replied. "All of you, he is waiting for the Avengers."

"Where?" Bruce asked.

"I… I think I know." Wanda said in a quiet voice, everyone looked at her. "He had mentioned Sokovia, it's where we are from and I saw glimpses of it when I read…" She gestured to Vision. "… his mind."

"How do we know she's not lying?" Barton asked.

"She is not." Harry replied.

"But how do we know?" Bruce asked. "We can't trust her."

"Then trust me," Harry replied. "because I trust her, at least enough to help take out Ultron."

"Why?" Natasha asked.

"Because she saw the memory of my world being destroyed and I believe her when she says she doesn't want to experience it happening to another world." Harry answered, everyone glanced between him and Wanda. A silent conversation seemed to pass between everyone.

"Fine," Steve said eventually. "if you trust them then so do we."

"Thanks." Harry said before he turned to Vision. "I want you to know that if you're lying and are actually on Ultron's side, then I don't care what you are made of or what is in your head, I will end you."

"I believe you." Vision replied. in a soft voice. "I don't want to kill Ultron, truly. 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 it without the others. Maybe I am a monster… I don't think I would know if I were one. I'm not what you are, and not what you intended. So there may be no way to make you trust me…" Vision turned to Thor and held out Mjolnir "… But we need to go." He said.

Everyone looked at Vision in shock, finding it hard to believe that he lifted the hammer, Thor absently took his hammer back before Vision walked off.

"Well… well done." Thor said as he tapped Tony on the shoulder before walking off.

"That doesn't count right?" Harry frowned.

.....

"Are we being serious here?" Harry just after Thor and Vison had left. "We are supposed to be cool with this because he lifted Thor's hammer? First of all I am at least ninety-five percent positive that Padfoot could lift the hammer."

"Woof?" Padfoot barked questioningly as he tilted his head to the side.

"Not the time," Harry said to Padfoot before turning back to the Avengers. "this is stupid. Just because he picked up the hammer doesn't mean we can trust him, it doesn't mean that he's a good guy, after all Vision isn't technically alive. No matter what anyone says, no matter how good Vision imitates life, he's just that: imitating life. He is the shattered remnants of Jarvis in a synthetic android body and even then when he picked up the hammer he was 'alive' for all of two fucking minutes, at most he was a child and children aren't good or evil, so are we really going to trust him?"

"I do," Tony spoke up. "he might be a creation of Ultron but Jarvis was a creation of mine, I trust him."

"Ultron is a creation of yours," Harry reminded her with a glare. "Vision is basically the grandchild of a threesome between yourself, Banner and a computer. What if he is just pretending to be on our side? Trying to get us to get our guard down so Ultron can take us out?"

"I don't think he was." Wanda spoke up in a quiet voice, she was barely loud enough to hear.

"What makes you think that?" Gwen asked.

"I… I looked inside his mind," Wanda said after a short pause. "he has no harmful or bad intentions towards any of you, he just wants to stop Ultron." She nearly lowered her gaze when Harry narrowed his eyes at her but she forced herself to meet his penetrating gaze.

"Harry," Steve spoke up next. "right now we don't have much time to waste, an ally is better than an enemy and we need all the help we can get right now."

"Fine." Harry all but growled. "But if this goes tits up - and not in the fun way - then I am going to reduce him into nothing before I break your arm… again." Harry warned.

"Noted," Steve nodded before he began speaking to the Avengers as a whole. "everyone get what you need, we are leaving as soon as possible." As everyone began leaving to get ready Harry made sure he caught up to Tony, Harry stopped him from walking by placing a hand on his shoulder.

"By the way, Tony," Harry whispered. "if you ever try - if you even think about trying - to pull the same shit that you pulled in that lab again then I promise you that we are going to have some serious problems." Harry said in a clear but low voice. Tony didn't say anything, but he did nod before he continued walking away.

"Are you okay?" Sif asked as she walked over to him, with Natasha following just behind her.

"I am fine," Harry said as he glanced at the Maximoff twins who were both standing a small distance away, just far enough to not be able to hear their conversation. "or at least I think I am. What about you two?" Harry asked.

"I'm fine." Sif nodded before she and Harry looked at Natasha.
