Clint's P.O.V:
Our mission was a success, but we lost Natasha in the process. I'm really worried about how Nat is doing; this was not going according to what Emily said. We have the body Ultron tried to build and were able to stop one of his plans. That's the only thing to look forward to our Ultron problem.
I was in the common room waiting for the rest of the team to arrive. Suddenly, Emily pops out of nowhere. "Hey Clint, how'd the mission go?"
I gave her a death stare. "Are you sure you should be asking me that?" I had the same arrow I used for Wanda before she could play with my mind.
She gave me a dorky, apologetic smile. "I am SO SORRY!" She got on her knees, in a pleading position. "I didn't think Thor's thunder would attack me and send that same attack to you. I suspected but never thought it would actually happen."
Giving up in the situation, I sigh. "Nat is no longer with us, Ultron has her. The good thing of all this was that we could stop Ultron, and we gained two new members."
"What do you mean two new members?"
I laughed, "With all your powers of seeing the future, you didn't see that?"
"I can't see everything that will happen, all powers are limited and the future is never certain." She huffed, "So don't give me that crap. Who joined the Avengers?"
I cackled a little thinking of her reaction, "A gold medal runner and a somewhat skilled witch."
If she were only a cartoon man, she would have had her jaw on the floor with smoke coming from her ears. Her face was priceless. She was fire truck red, gasping with surprise and anger, then she said, "Those little twins better stay away from me before I kick their puny little asses".
I barked a loud laugh. "I mean it, Clint. What she did to Tony was not okay and horrible to witness," She sighed.
"Okay, they messed up but give them a chance they recently found out Ultron's real motives, which you 'prophesized', by the way."
"Yeah, I know. There's no need for reminders," She sighed taking a deep breath. Her color drained completely looking sickening green.
"Ems, are you okay," I asked.
"Um... Yeah, just in need of a good night's sleep."
"Then you should at least rest 'til Tony gets here, you look horrible." I pointed out. "You..."
"Yes, I am; you will not tell anyone about this!
"Yes, I am; and I don't want anyone to know. I am tired of feeling week and just because I feel sick doesn't mean I can't fight. I won't be able to accomplish everything if you or Tony keep babying me." She explained. "Please Clint, I'm asking as a friend. Don't tell Tony."
I pinch my nose bridge exasperated by what she said. She needed to rest, but I can't stop her from doing what she needs to do. Her eyes were pleading and determined to finish with Ultron and who am I to stop her from avenging her last family member? "Fine, I won't tell Tony. If things get worse in the battlefield you teleport back home and it's not a suggestion."
"Whatever you say Hawkeye and thanks." She left to Tony's lab. I feel sorry for the poor bastard that had to take care of her. Following that train of thought, I left to the locker rooms and changed.
Tony's P.O.V:
The way back to the tower got me thinking of my mistakes with Ultron. I risked the lives of the whole world and almost destroyed my relationship with Ems. At least, I knew things will be changing soon. It was glad to know that Jarvis was not dead. He was responsible for all the nuclear codes changing; with this, I knew Emily would get excited.
I got to the lab to find Bruce inspecting the body Ultron was making with Emily resting next to him. "Bruce, what's Ems doing here," I asked.
"She came here to wait for you," He said. "I can work on tissue degeneration if you could fry whatever operational system Cho implanted."
"Yeah, about that..."
"No."
"You have to trust me."
"Kind of don't."
"Our ally..." I explained. "The guy protecting the military's nuclear codes, I found him." I pulled out Jarvis' "body" to show Bruce.
"Hello, Dr. Banner."
I continued explaining what I found in Nexus. "Ultron didn't go after Jarvis because he was angry. He attacked him because he was scared of what he can do. So, Jarvis went underground. Scattered, dumped his memory. But not his protocols. He didn't even know he was in there until I pieced him together."
Bruce scoffed pointing at the "undercooked" body. "So, you want me to help you put Jarvis in this thing?"
"No! Of course not," I mocked. "I wanna help you put Jarvis in this thing. We're out of my field, here. You know bio-organics better than anyone." We fight back and forth with me trying to convince Bruce it's the best way to write a wrong. I knew Jarvis was the best option to defeat Ultron, he's been doing it since day one. Even Jarvis pitched in, he knew it was a great idea.
"You have to do it." A voice said. We turn around to see Emily awake next to Jarvis. "I missed you, buddy."
"It's nice to be back miss Emily."
"I'm in a loop! I'm caught in a time loop. This is exactly where it all went wrong." Bruce yelled.
"I know Bruce, but without Jarvis in that body we lose our only chance to destroy him," Emily said. "At least listen to me, I know what I am saying."
"I know what everyone's gonna say. But they're already saying it. We're mad scientists. We're monsters, buddy." I said. "We've gotta own it. Make a stand. It's not a loop."
"We have to power up the machine, and you start uploading Jarvis' schematics," Bruce ordered.
"What can I do to help," Emily asked.
"Start plugging in the machine to the power and make sure we are not interrupted." Bruce once again ordered.
Immediately we all started working on with everything. Bruce kept checking the body's vitals, Ems kept guard on everything, and I tried to work on how to upload Jarvis to the body. Each time I tried to work on the code it failed. We only had minutes to spare before everything shut down or Emily couldn't keep the others out. "This framework is not compatible," I said.
"The genetic coding tower is at 97%. You have got to upload that schematic in the next three minutes." Bruce remarked.
As Bruce gave out his worries, Emily came blasted from the labs entrance. "I'm only going to say this once," Steve said.
"How about 'none-ce'?" I interrupted.
"SHUT IT DOWN!"
"Nope, not gonna happen," I said.
"You don't know what you're doing."
"And you do?" Bruce interrupted. "She's not in your head?"
"I know you are angry," she said.
"We're way passed that!" Bruce replied. "I could choke the life out of you and never change a shade."
Steve stepped in front of the witch and said, "Banner, after everything that hap…"
"It's nothing compared to what's coming!" I yelled.
"You don't know what's coming!" Maximoff yelled along with Steve saying "This isn't a game!"
Without any of us noticing the other twin unplugged every cable the machine had for power. "No, no. Go on," he said. "You were saying."
I didn't notice, Emily was standing beside me with a fist full of energy about to strike the twins, when a Pietro fell to the floor beneath us with Clint feeling smug for finally outsmarting the guy.
"Tony, the body is dying." I hear Emily say.
"I'm rerouting the upload." I head to the computer to have Steve almost destroying it with his shield. I blasted him away immediately with a repulsor beam, with it came the suit attaching itself to me ready to fight Steve. The Maximoff girl when to Steve's help when Bruce held her down threatening her with Hulk. "Keep them away from me, I'll keep uploading Jarvis magically." I hear Emily again. "I have backup coming!"
As I hear Emily, Clint came from downstairs ready to protect her. Steve get up from the blast I sent him to attack me again. In a blink of an eye, I blasted again. It flew the opposite direction from Steve breaking yet another glass in the lab. Then the witch broke Bruce's restraint on her and blasted him a few feet's away from her. "It's done," Emily said.
Out of nowhere, Thor came in the room stepping above the machine where the body laid. He gathered all the energy around him and gave the machine more than enough power to help create the body. In only seconds a red and green body came out of the machine. That body looked around the room and charged towards Emily. I tried to stop him, but he was fast. On the other hand, Emily saw the attack coming and subdued him. He stares into Emily's white eyes and calms down. "Sorry, that was… odd," He said as he "clothed" himself. "Thank you."
"Thor," Steve said. "You helped create this?"
"I had a vision," Thor explained. "A whirlpool that sucks all hope of life and at its center is that." He pointed at the gem in the man's forehead.
"What? A gem?" Bruce said.
"That is the Mind Stone; one of the six infinity stones," Emily explained. "Their power is far beyond anyone could explain. That same power can destroy worlds if they're in the wrong hands." She glared at the twins. "They were meant to stay away from our planet and protected by those who are stronger than us. Why are they here, I don't know"
"Then why would you bring…" Steve was once again interrupted.
"Because Stark is right," Thor said.
"It's definitely the end of times," Bruce murmured.
"The Avengers cannot defeat Ultron," Thor stated.
"Not alone." The man said.
"Why does your Vision sound like Jarvis," Steve asked.
"We reconfigured Jarvis's matrix... to create something new," I said.
"I think I've had my fill of new."
"You think I'm a child of Ultron?" The man said.
"You're not?" Steve narrowed his eyes.
"I'm not Ultron," It said. "I'm not Jarvis, I am…"
"You are Vision," Emily gave one of her beautiful smiles.
"I looked into your head and saw annihilation." The witch said.
"Look again." Vision said.
"What you say is irrelevant." Emily interjected, "You tried to understand things you aren't meant too. You possess power because you wanted to destroy the one you hated which resulted with this. You, Wanda, have no say in what you see through the Mind Stone. Its power is meant to destroy if it,s not in the hands of its protector. If it comes into the hands of any magical beings here on Earth, it will only increase their power to the point where it could destroy the host or even the planet."
"She's right; their powers, the horrors in our heads, Ultron himself, they all came from the Mind Stone," Thor added. "And they are nothing compared to what it can unleash. But, with it on our side..."
"Is it?" Steve looked at Vision. "Are you? On our side?"
"He's on the side of life, unlike Ultron. He will destroy every living thing there is. He's unique, filled with pain and he will use that to destroy us that's why he needs to be destroyed. Only Vision can help us do that."
"We have to act now," Vision added. "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. I'm not what you are, and not what you intended. So, there may be no way to make you trust me. But. we need to go." Once he finished he gave Thor his hammer. Everyone in the room was frozen with shock. I look over at Emily and she had a smug look on her face.
"Vision, come over here for a minute." Ems said as she left the room.
"Right," Thor said leaving the room following Emily. "Well done." He patted my shoulder and left. In that moment everyone was getting ready to suit up. We were ready for war and Ultron had no chance of winning.
