Chapter 34
Disturbing the Peace
Well that was all going on. over in Edinburgh, Wanda. Pietro, and Vision were enjoying their lives From all the fighting. It was originally just going to be Wanda and Vision but Pietro refused to let them go alone so he went with them. Currently Pietro was taking a walk outside (Which meant he was going to run a lap around the world). Currently Wanda and Vision Alone in their bedroom when Wanda asked, "What does it say?" referring to the stone inside of his head.
Vision in his human form then responded, "It's it's nothing." then the stone began to Glow again showing through his forehead. it caused him mild pain and Wanda put her hands on his head and eased the pain. Vision then guided her hand up onto the stone and pretty much erased the pain completely "See if you can feel anything."
Wanda waved her hand around creating a form of magic like tendrils that began to feel around in the Stone "I only feel you."
And then they both leaned in and Right before they kissed. Pietro ran into the room finally finished from his lap around the world and said "well that was fun," Then he noticed Wanda and Vision, "Oh am I interrupting something I'm going to go." He said an embarrassment before he ran off. Wanda laughed at the scene before saying "Come on let's go for a walk."
A few minutes later both Wanda and Vision were walking through the rain, "So there's a 10:00 a.m. tick glass nodes to give us more time together before you go back." Wanda said.
"What if I miss that train?" Vision asked.
"There is an 11." Wanda was saying but she was quickly cut off by Vision.
"What if I miss all the trains? what if this time I didn't go back?" Vision said.
"You gave Stark your word." Wanda pointed out.
"I Would rather give it to you." Vision said.
"Well there are people expecting me too you know," Wanda said "We both made promises."
"Not to Each other." vision said slightly shocking Wanda, "Wanda it's been 2 years we've stolen these wallets trying to see if this could work," Vision was saying before he began to stutter over and over again before he finally landed on " I think it works." For a few moments they stood there in silence Before Vision finally broke it "stay, Stay With Me,"
I stood in silence for a couple moments both of them thinking, "Not if I'm overstepping." Before Wanda could respond something drew their attention. a TV inside a nearby building was playing in New York and two figures that certainly weren't human or cybertronian.
"What are they?" Wanda wondered out loud.
"Vision then put the pieces together and said in realization " they're What the stones been warning me about." the tv flashed to reveal a news station that said Tony Stark was missing. but they both knew where Tony was, he was on that spaceship.
Vision then kissed Wanda's hand and said "I have to go."
"No Vision, Vision If that's true then maybe going isn't the best idea." Wanda protested.
Vision turned to face Wanda, he knew she had a point but he had to. "Wa-" Vision tried to say before the tip of a spear pierced through his back his back Wanda screamed in horror As Vision screamed in pain his human disguise fading to reveal his true form. Wanda couldn't get a clear view on whatever it was but it certainly wasn't human it dropped Vision and Wanda prepared to throw her magic at it when a blast hit her from behind sending her flying into another building, Two aliens walked over to Vision and began to take the stone out. Vision screamed in pain And Wanda threw her magic at the two aliens knocking them off Vision. She then lifted Vision up using her magic and begin to fly also using her magic They landed at a subway station and Wanda hit the ground with a roll she then just barely stopped Vision from slamming into the ground.
"The blade stopped me from phasing" Vision said as he clutched his wound with Wanda carrying him to safety.
Wanda then leaned him up against a wall and asked "Is that even possible."
"It's not supposed to be." Vision answered. Wanda began to use her magic to try and close the wound. He Then pushed Wanda away as one of the aliens rushed Vision.
Vision quickly grabbed a hold of the spear and began to fly. He slammed at the alien into several walls before Wanda could have even get to Vision the other alien swung at her she used a pillar for a cover as the aliens of Spear slammed into it she spun right back around and tried to attack the alien with her magic with the alien swung first forcing Wanda to duck under it and play defense.
Under the aliens constant attacks The best Wanda could do was redirect the attacks. Back with Vision the alien managed to get the upper hand and pin Vision down, "Give up the Stone and she lives." In response Vision grabbed the alien's neck and flew into a wall.
back with Wanda she was barely holding it her own he never saw a perfect chance to attack the alien was an excellent fighter, and then Wanda thought she saw the perfect point to strike, the alien had thrusted her spear into wanda who stepped back but before she can do anything the spear shout out a pulse that sent Wanda flying back. she used her magic to slow Herself down, I'm all over the alien jumped out of the darkness and swung down on Wanda who used her magic too to stop the spear from hitting her.
vision grabed the aliens of spear and used it to pin the alien up against a wall he delivered multiple clean punches to the alien's side then another one to the Head. Vision then picked the alien up and threw him across the Rooftop, he tried to use this opportunity to fire a laser out of the Mind Stone but the alien quickly recovered and used his spear to block the laser sending it in multiple directions cutting through the city. The Alien managed to refocus the beam and sent it right back at Vision. Knocking Vision back, Vision let out a scream of pain, as the alien once again began to remove the Mind Stone.
Wanda managed to catch the alien's Spear and was holding it at Bay when she heard Visions cry, she then mustered all her might and through the alien back through a flaming car. Other than used to Magic too jump upwards and onto the roof, saying "Hands off." she then sent a powerful pulse of magic that sent the alien through the building. Wanda picked Vision up and began to try and make their getaway when the second alien appeared out of nowhere and sent them both flying into a subway station. "come on You gotta get up."Encouraging Vision to get up but all he could do was get to a sitting position.
Behind them Wanda heard the two aliens approaching. She Turned around and stood ready magic in both her hands, behind her a Subway train rolled by this of course caught the aliens attention. Wanda looked behind her and has the subway train rolled by stood a figure hidden in the shadows without a large disco on the figures arm. The alien quickly threw her spear and the figure easily dodged and caught it, Shocking the alien And Out of the Shadows a stepped Captain America. Both Wanda and Vision looked at him with hope maybe they both Wouldn't Die Here. Before the aliens could do anything else the falcon Swooped in and kicked the alien in the back. The Falcon had been absent from the Avengers and the Autobots because he was trying to smooth things over with the government along with Rhodey. The falconven fired some missiles at the other alien which the alien defected with ease.
Steve threw the alien spear while the other alien was distracted and the Black Widow caught it. She easily dodged under the first of the aliens strikes and then stabbed the alien in the gut. I'm still made an attempt to strike back at Natasha who easily dodged And pulled the spear out before kicking the alien in the face, while also disarming him.
I don't need to spare was pulled out of Natasha's hand and flew right back to the second alien. Jumped into the air and was about to stab Natasha when Steve ran in and used his shield to redirect to the spear back down to the ground. Steve grabbed a hold of the aliens arm And slammed the shield down on it, an Audible crack Was Heard and the alien screamed in pain. He then kicked the aliens leg out grabbed the other arm and flipped the alien over him and onto the ground.Natasha used the opportunity to try and stab the aliens broken arm but it quickly rolled out of the way and swung her spear, forcing Natasha to block. the union then tried a Thrust at Steve who managed to grab a hold of the spear and ripped it from her hands. Just before falcon came in and kicked her from behind. causing her to land next to the other alien. Falcon pulled out twin submachine guns and aimed them at the aliens. As Steve and Natasha ran up and Stood Beside him.
The obviously female alien said to the other. "get up."
" I can't." The other alien groaned in pain.
"We don't wanna kill you, but we will." Natasha threatened.
"You'll never get the chance again." The female alien responded. She then hit a button on her Gauntlet and a blue light enveloped the two aliens. they were quickly drawn into the sky and the two Spears quickly flew with them. They looked up through the hole that Wanda and Vision created when they crashed in here and saw a massive alien ship that now ascended into space.
They all began to walk over to where Wanda and Vision were, "Can you stand?" Sam asked as he helped Vision up.
Both Wanda and Sam walked Vision over to Steve where he said " thank you Captain."
Steve stood silently for a few moments before saying, "Come on let's get you to the autobot base."
As they begin to walk towards the quinjet Pietro appeared in front of them. "So What did I miss."
Steve Responded with "come on, we will tell you back at base."
As the group walked back through the ground Bridge that's two things were instantly clear. ratchet was glued to Teletran onetrying to make contact with Tony or Updraft, and Rhodey Was talking with General Ross Over hologram. "Still no word from Vision?" the general asked.
" Satellites lost him somewhere over Edinburgh." Rhodey Answered of course Rhodey knew Exactly where Vision was. But he would never tell them.
"And of course there is still a problem with the Avengers." General Ross said.
"You know they're only terrorists because you never even gave them a chance to explain themselves right sir?" Rhodey said.
"God Rhodes, You have a talent for horseshit." the general replied.
" if it weren't for you declaring them terrorists without ever giving them to explain themselves Vision would have been right here." Rhodey Countered. However before they could continue Steve and the others walked in.
"Mr secretary." Steve said plainly.
"You got some nerve. I'll give you that." Ross said as his holographic body approached them.
"You could use some of that right now." Natasha shot back.
"The world's on fire," Ross said ignoring Natasha, " and you think All Is Forgiven?"
" well I was hoping that it would be." Pietro quipped. Wanda punched him in the arm.
"I'm not looking for forgiveness and I'm way past asking permission." Steve said coldly. "Earth just lost two of her best defenders so we're here to fight. If you want to stand in our way we'll for you too."
Ross slowly turned to Rhodey and ordered "Arrest them."
"All over it." Rhodey said in a tone that said something completely different Before he hung up. Brody looked at the Avengers before saying, " that's a court-martial." And it took all of Pietro's a strength not to laugh. "It's great to see you cap," he said as he and Steve shook hands. Natasha walked over and gave him a hug. They hadn't seen each other ever since the sokovia Accords.
"Hey guys." A familiar voice said Saw their old friend Dr Bruce Banner. They All stood there in stunned disbelief. they doubted he would ever be seen again. "Yeah I'm back."
Of all the shock everyone was in only Natasha could muster up enough strength to say, "hey Bruce."
"Nat." Bruce replied.
Under Pietro's breath he said, "well this is pretty awkward."
After a couple minutes they were discussing Thanos and how he wants the stone in Visions head. "well we can't Just take it out he'll die without it." Natasha said.
"no we have to destroy it." Vision said causing everyone to look at him. "I've been giving this entity in my head a good load of thought, about it's nature. But also about its composition.I think if it were exposed to a sufficiently powerful energy source something very similar to its own signature perhaps," Vision said as he walked up to Wanda. "It's molecular integrity could fail."
"And you with it." Wanda protested, "we're not having this conversation."
"Eliminating the stone is the only way to be to be certain that Thanos cannot get it." Vision said. The Autobots watched from a distance According to what Bruce had a told them Megatron was working with Thanos and if they knew anything. Thanos was being fooled.
"That's too high a price." Wanda continued to protest.
"And only you have the power to pay it." Vision said. "Thanos threatens half the universe and Megatron threatens the entirety of it one life cannot stand in the way of defeating them both. "
" but it should. We don't trade lives Vision" Steve protested.
"I agree" Optimus finally said, everyone turned to look at him as he continued, " I have already lost many friends in this war I cannot and will not take the risk of losing another."
"20 years ago you laid down your life to save how many millions of people. And Optimus You have already lost many friends, but this time using just one could mean the end. How am I and this any different."
"because you might have a Chance." Bruce spoke up. Everyone's attention turned to Bruce. " your mind is made up of a complex construct of overlays, Jarvis, Ultron, Tony, Me, the stone. all of them mixed together, all of them learning from one another."
"You're saying Vision isn't just to the stone." Wanda said.
" I'm saying that's if we take out the stone there's still a whole lot of Vision left." Bruce said, " but perhaps the best parts," but Natasha interrupted him.
"But can we do that?" Natasha asked.
"not me, not here, no." Bruce replied.
" I know a guy." Steve said and Ratchet already began planning the coordinates for wakanda.
