Avengers: New Blood (Peter Parker)/ A.M

18. The Vision

Getting to Avengers Tower, they reached Bruce's lab in which he and Tony were working with the cradle.

As Andria and the rest got closer, they heard them talking. Their words proved that Wanda Maximoff was right.

"This framework is not compatible," Tony said, while tapping something in his computer.

"The genetic coding tower is at 97%. You have got to upload that schematic in the next three minutes," Bruce answered, while looking inside the cradle the same moment Steve spoke, getting even closer with Andria and the Maximoff twins by his side.

"I'm gonna say this once."
"How about none-ce?" Tony cut him off, but Steve raised his voice.
"Shut it down!"
"Nope, not gonna happen."
"You don't know what you're doing," Andria said, trying to convince them, but Bruce cut her off.
"And you do? She's not in your head?" He asked, pointing at Wanda who stepped forward.
"I know you're angry--"
"Oh, we're way past that. I could choke the life out of you and never change a shade," Bruce cut Wanda off.
"Banner, after everything that's happened--"
"It's nothing compared to what's coming," Tony interrupted Steve.
"You don't know what's in there!" Andria shouted.
"This isn't a game," Steve agreed, but before anyone could say anything else, Pietro had already unplugged all wires connected to the cradle and was now standing in a small spot where the floor was made of glass.

"No, no. Go on. You were saying?" He said before a gunshot sounded and a bullet went through the floor, smashing the glass and making Pietro fall through the hole down in another room where Andria supposed Clint was in.

"Pietro!" Wanda yelled.
"I'm rerouting the upload," Tony said, but Steve threw his shield, trying to smash the cradle.

At the same moment Tony's suit came flying to him and he sent a blast to Steve who fell backwards.

Wanda was about to use her powers when Bruce grabbed her from behind.
"Go ahead, piss me off," he told her, while Tony and Steve were fighting and Clint got in the room with a gun in his hand.

"Please, don't turn green," Andria mattered under her breath, while grabbing Bruce from his shoulders and pushing him backwards away from Wanda.

He looked at her in both disbelief and anger.

"Look, I don't wanna start a fight," she said quickly, looking at him, before a loud thud echoed and they all stopped and turned around to see Thor getting near the cradle with his hammer in his hand.

"Wait," Bruce yelled, but Thor was already bringing his hammer crashing down on the cradle along with a blinding thunder.

When he stopped, a loud smash sounded and the thing inside the cradle got out sending Thor backwards.

It was a man.

His body red and with metal in some parts. The gem glowing bright in his forehead, while he raised his head, looking at the people around him.

Noticing Thor with his blue eyes, he jumped towards him, but Thor threw him towards the enormous windows.

Just inches before he could hit them, he stopped and looked at the view of New York city at night with all the lights coming out of the high skyscrapers.

As Thor got near him, Steve did too and was ready to attack him, but Thor stopped him.

Putting his hammer on the table next to him, he turned to the man again.

When Tony, Bruce, Clint, Andria and the twins came near the other two, the man turned to them as a bluish and greenish suit appeared on his body along with a goldish cape.

"I am sorry. That was...odd. Thank you," he spoke for the first time, flying towards Thor, his voice sounding like J.A.R.V.I.S.

"Thor, you helped create this?" Steve asked.

"I've had a vision. A whirlpool that sucks in all hope of life, and at it's center is that," Thor said, pointing at the gem attached to the man's forehead.

"What? The gem?" Bruce asked.

"It's the Mind Stone. It's one if the six Infinity Stones. The greatest power in the universe, unparalleled in its destructive capabilities," Thor explained.

"Then why would you bring--"
"Because Stark is right," he cut Andria off.
"Oh, it's definitely the end times," Bruce said, before Thor spoke again.

"The Avengers cannot defeat Ultron."
"Not alone," the man spoke.

"Why does your vision sound like J.A.R.V.I.S.?" Steve asked.
"We reconfigured J.A.R.V.I.S.' matrix to create something new," Tony explained, as the man stepped forward to be inside the circle the people around him had created.

"I think I've had my fill of new," Steve said, before the man spoke.
"You think I'm a child of Ultron."
"You're not?" Stve asked.
"I'm not Ultron. I am not J.A.R.V.I.S. I am... I am," he answered, unsure.

"I looked into your head and saw annihilation," Wanda said, getting closer to the man.
"Look again," he said.
"Yeah, her seal of approval means jack to me," Clint said, getting closer to her and Pietro kind of aggressively, making Andria put a hand on his chest to stop him.

"Clint," she said in an intimidating tone, making him turn to her with a look of confusion.

Before she could explain anything though, Thor spoke.

"Their powers, the horrors in our heads, Ultron himself, they all came from the Mind Stone. And they're nothing compared to what it can unleash. But with it on our side--"

"Is it? Are you? On our side?" Steve cut him off, turning to the man.
"I don't think it's that simple," the man answered.
"Well, it better get real simple, real soon," Clint said.

"I am on the side of life. Ultron isn't. He will end it all," the man explained.
"What's he waiting for?" Tony asked.
"You."
"Where?" Bruce turned to the man.

"Sokovia. He's got Nat there, too," Clint said, making Andria take her hand away from him at the mention of Natasha's name.

"If we're wrong about you, if you're the monster that Ultron made you to be--"
"What will you do?" The man asked Bruce, but went on when he didn't take any answer.

"I don't want 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 it without the others. Maybe I am a monster. I don't think I'd know if I were one. So, there may be no way to make you trust me. But we need to go," he said and raised Thor's hammer, giving it to him like it was the most simple thing to do.

As Thor took it slowly, the man moved towards the door, not noticing how everyone stared at him in total shock.

"Right. Well done," Thor said, patting Tony's back and following the Vision out of the room.

"Three minutes. Get what you need," Steve said and got out with Bruce and Tony by his side.
As Andria went to move too, Pietro got in her way.

"Care to show a boy the changing room?" He asked her kind of cockily.
"Sure," Andria smirked, starting to like the boy's attention towards her.

"No, no. You...are not showing him... anything," Clint said, getting between them in a fatherly way.

"I didn't ask you, old man," Pietro said, sounding bored.
"Oh, I'll show you--"
"Clint," Andria stopped him.
"It's alright. They're both fine," she said, pointing at both Pietro and Wanda.
"Teenagers," Clint rolled his eyes, getting out of the room.
"Follow me," Andria said, turning to the twins.
