Avengers: Age of Ultron
Sunrise
Although he did not actually require sleep, Vision wished to find a place to retire for the night. He decided to return to Tony's laboratory, his logic dictating that it would be the room most likely to be isolated, a place where he would not be disturbed and could lay his body to rest and shut down for the night.
But a small part of him was drawn to this room because it was the only room in the Avengers tower that held any comfort for him. The place of his birth and the moment he discovered his purpose; to end the threat Ultron posed to his home world and the inhabitants that resided within it.
Vision phased through the floor of the laboratory, where to his surprise Tony was still in his laboratory, sweeping shards of broken glass and metal with a broom and a pensive expression on his face. The thoughts of what was to come the following day weighing heavily upon his mind and preventing him from sleeping.
"Do you need some help with that?" Vision found himself saying, the words leaving his lips feeling both new, yet familiar. The protocols of JARVIS still strongly guiding him to provide assistance to others, amongst the new dominant thought patterns that came with his new identity.
"No it's OK, I got it." Tony quickly replied, and continued sweeping the floor. He did not particularly want Vision's help. It was his mistake that had caused Vision to come into existence, it was his mess and he was going to clean it up himself without any help.
Vision took that as a sign and turned away from Tony and observed the state of the cradle from which he had been birthed. It was too shattered and littered with wreckage to be of any use as a resting receptacle.
Vision looked backed at Tony and asked, "I was wondering… is there a place I could stay for the night?"
If he was going to shut down for the night until his human team mates woke up the next day, he would need a better place to stay than on a steel table in a laboratory like a piece of machinery.
"Yeah. Just pick a room, any room. There's plenty around here." Tony answered, too preoccupied cleaning up to be concerned with where an android could stay for the night.
Seeing that Tony was not in the mood to talk, Vision nodded and left the laboratory, leaving Tony to deal with his thoughts by himself.
Vision searched the Avengers tower until he found an empty room. The room was not lit, as it was previously unoccupied. Vision did not bother to turn on a light, the light from the corridor providing enough light for him to make out the form of a bed. Vision then lay down upon it and closed his eyes.
The following morning, Vision opened his eyes and awakened, the sensation still a novel one since it was only his second day of coming into existence. But being new to having a sleeping schedule or even sleeping for that matter, Vision had underestimated what time he needed to wake up and had woken up too early.
Outside the sun was just beginning to rise and dawn was approaching. Not wanting to waste an opportunity, Vision phased through the glass of the tower and rose high above the Avengers tower to get the best view of the sun rise.
He watched in awe as the darkness covering the city changed to a cool blue tinge as the sun's rays permeated the landscape and the sun rose above the skyline, showering the buildings with beams of light and infusing the pale blue sky with a warm, golden glow.
He had just witnessed his first sunrise and it was the most beautiful thing he had ever seen.
Thank you very much for reading my story! It's my first fan fiction since over a year, I hope it was 'worthy' enough and that you enjoyed reading it. Reviews are always appreciated.
I loved the scene where Vision is born and he looks out the window and sees all the city lights. I wanted to have a go at writing a scene like that myself, so I wrote the opposite of New York at night and wrote Vision witnessing his first sunrise.
