Chapter 22- Vision

💫

After (Y/n) had brought the kids in they had settled down with blank sheets of paper and things to color with. Fury had entered the house as well, surprising everyone with his visit.

"Ultron took you folks out of play to buy himself time. My contacts all say he's building something. The amount of Vibranium he made off with, I don't think it's just one thing."

"What about Ultron himself?" Steve asked.

"Ah. He's easy to track, he's everywhere. Guy's multiplying faster than a Catholic rabbit. Still doesn't help us get an angle on any of his plans though."

"He still going after launch codes?"

"Yes, he is, but he's not making any headway."

"I cracked the Pentagon's firewall in high school on a dare," Tony stated.

(Y/n) stood, looking out the window in thought.

"Well, this is good times, boss, but I was kind of hoping when I saw you, you'd have more than that," Nat sighed.

"I do, I have you. Back in the day, I had eyes everywhere, ears everywhere else. Here we all are, back on earth, with nothing but our wit, and our will to save the world. So stand. Outwit the platinum bastard."

"Steve doesn't like that kind of talk," Nat smirked.

"So what does he want?" Fury questioned.

"To be better," (Y/n) spoke up, drawing the group's attention to her, "He's evolving, creating new bodies. That's what the vibranium was for, the perfect, indestructible body. But how he would make it..."

"Has anyone been in contact with Helen Cho?"

"At this point he would already have her under his control," (Y/n) stated, "We need to go to her lab and retrieve the body. Steve, Nat, Clint, and I will go."

"Alright, strictly recon. I'll hit the NEXUS, I'll join you as soon as I can."

"I'll drop Banner off at the tower. Do you mind if I borrow Ms. Hill?" Fury asked.

"She's all yours, apparently. What are you gonna do?"

"Something dramatic I hope."

The team split up. Nat, Clint, Steve, and (Y/n) in the Quinjet. Lila and Cooper gave (Y/n) hugs just as they did Nat before she went on the ship, they were already calling her 'Aunt (Y/n)', the innocence of the two astounded (Y/n).

"Oh, Laura," (Y/n) put a hand on the woman's shoulder, "An old Asgardian trick for those who don't have magic. Drink this," (Y/n) waved her hand and a small bottle appeared, "When you go into labor and the pain will dull."

"No side affects?" Laura asked hesitantly.

"My own mother used it, and considering how I'm one of the most powerful beings in the galaxy..." (Y/n) trailed off her point made.

"Right, thank you."

"Of course," (Y/n) gave Laura a gentle hug, "I do hope we stay in touch in some form."

(Y/n) boarded the ship while they were going through pre-launch and they were off to Korea.

"You have a lovely family Clint," (Y/n) told Clint as they were flying.

"Thanks," Clint looked out the window and sighed, "I think this is my last mission."

"That is wise," (Y/n) nodded, "You must enjoy your time with your family."

"Yeah, Lila, Cooper, and the little traitor," Nat added.

"We couldn't control what gender the baby was Nat," Clint defended, causing the hero to grumble under her breath.

(Y/n) smiled, past the arguments they had, the Avengers were the closest thing to family she had. Besides Thor, who was her brother by marriage.

(Y/n) sat down and leaned her head against the back of her seat, trying to relax and collect herself before she went into battle.

She suddenly felt the pain of a planet dying. She screamed out and shot up, putting a hand on her head. The other three ran towards her, making sure she was okay.

"That was Wanda," (Y/n) realized, "Her and I must have connected through the stones. She just saw Ultron's real plan."

"And what is it?" Steve asked.

"He doesn't just want to destroy the Avengers. He wants to destroy humanity."

~*~

After they arrived at the lab Steve and (Y/n) jumped from the ship and landed on the roof while Clint stayed behind to fly and Nat stayed behind as backup.

After they entered the building they noticed a limp body on the ground, bleeding, but alive.

"Dr Cho!" (Y/n) kneeled next to Cho, grabbing a nearby beaker and turning it into a roll of bandages as she began to wrap the woman's wound to slow down the blood flow.

"He's uploading himself into the body," Cho groaned.

"Where?"

"The real power is inside the Cradle. The gem, its power is uncontainable. You can't just blow it up. You have to get the Cradle to Stark."

"We have to find it first," (Y/n) finished the wrap, "Help will be here soon."

"Go," Cho urged.

The two stood, running from the building.

"I got a private jet taking off, across town, no manifest. That could be him," Nat suggested.

"There. It's the truck from the lab. Right above you. On the loop by the bridge. It's them. I got three with the Cradle, one in the cab. I could take out the driver," Clint pointed out.

"No don't!" (Y/n) yelled, "If that truck crashes unbelievable damage could be done. We must draw him out."

The two jumped down onto the truck, keeping their balance as it drove along the busy road.

(Y/n) grabbed onto one of the bars on the side, reaching out for the door handle before it was blasted off, almost taking her with it.

"Well, he's definitely unhappy! I'm gonna try and keep him that way," Steve stated.

Steve swung into the truck. (Y/n) following soon after.

"You know what's in that Cradle? The power to make real change, and that terrifies you."

Steve ran towards Ultron, his shield raised and ready to strike.

"Stop it!" Ultron threw Steve's shield out of the truck and blasted him.

"Enough," (Y/n) snapped, raising her hand and blasting Ultron to the front of the truck. She waved her hand and her sword appeared in her hand.

"Oh (Y/n), the girl with all the power in the world who doesn't know what changes needs to be made."

(Y/n) jabbed at Ultron, narrowly missing as he jumped to the side.

"Does your husband support you doing nothing to help those who truly need it?" (Y/n) froze, her eyes going wide at the statement, "Ah yes, the Avengers may not have had it in their files. But Darcy Lewis enjoyed recording the happy wedding so she could gift the tape to you."

"What did you do to her?" (Y/n) asked with a growl.

"Nothing, nothing," Ultron waved his hand dismissively, "A simple hack to learn more about the biggest threat I have."

"That won't change. I can crush you were you stand."

"Crush this body and I have another one prepared."

(Y/n) waved her hand and one of the seat at the front of the truck broke out of place, hitting Ultron against the side. Steve seemed to recover and joined (Y/n) in the attack against Ultron.

Steve tackled Ultron through the side of the truck onto an oncoming train. (Y/n) jumped through the hole as well, entering the train.

"Out, now!" (Y/n) yelled, ushering the civilians in the car into the two on the other sides while Ultron was distracted with Steve.

"I'm going in, Cap, (Y/n), can you keep him occupied?"

"What do you think we've been doing?"

As (Y/n) was helping the last civilian exit, something twisted in her stomach. She turned with a wide grin. Pietro and Wanda were on the train. The hero knew they were on her side.

Wanda had trapped Ultron in his place. (Y/n) broke off one of the poles, ready to impale Ultron before he broke away from Wanda's hold and flew away.

"Cap, (Y/n), you see Nat?" Clint asked in a panic.

"If you have the cradle you need to leave," (Y/n) ordered.

"Do you have eyes on Nat?" Clint repeated.

"Go!" Steve turned to Pietro and Wanda, "Civilians in our path. Can you two stop this thing?"

Wanda and (Y/n) shared a look before they nodded at each other. Both of them raised their hands and in sync, red and gold mixing together as it shot out of their hands and spread under the train.

Slowly but surely the train stopped. (Y/n) straightened up, letting out a relieved sigh. She saw Wanda step out of the train and run over to a tired Pietro.

"I'm fine. I just need to take a minute."

"I'm very tempted not to give you one," Steve frowned.

"The Cradle, did you get it?"

"Stark will take care of it."

"No, he won't," Wanda shook her head.

"You don't know what you're talking about, Stark's not crazy."

"He will do anything to make things right," (Y/n) mumbled. Wanda nodded in agreement at the statement, "He's not going to give me the stone so I can take care of it, he's going to finish making the body."

"Stark, come in. Stark. Anyone on comms?" Steve questioned.

"Ultron can't tell the difference between saving the world and destroying it. Where do you think he gets that?"

~*~

As soon as the group of four arrived back at the Avengers Tower lab they knew what was going on. (Y/n) hunch was right.

"I'm gonna say this once," Steve stated.

(Y/n) closed her eyes and reached out for Thor's mind, he was closer than she would have imagined, he was coming back.

Thor...

The stone must stay in the body sister, Thor already knew what (Y/n) was going to say, It will be a new creation, pure enough to handle it and use it for good.

"Oh, we're way past that. I could choke the life out of you and never change a shade."

(Y/n) came back in the middle of an argument. She leaned over to Wanda, "Wanda, I know your hesitation, and you don't need to trust Stark, but trust me, this body will help us."

Wanda gave (Y/n) a hesitant look, but she seemed more willing to trust the Asgardian than she did Tony.

Pietro jumped into action and destroyed the lab equipment, "No, no. Go on. You were saying?"

Clint suddenly shot a bullet through the glass Pietro was standing on and he fell through.

"Pietro!" Wanda yelled.

"What? You didn't see that coming?" Clint asked mockingly.

""Go ahead, piss me off," Bruce threatened Wanda.

"Sister now!" Thor yelled as he entered the lab.

(Y/n) raised her hand, shooting a large amount of energy at the cradle. The body jumped out and at Thor, who was closest to him. The hero moved to the side and held up his hand when the others looked ready to attack.

"I'm sorry, that was...Odd," the person apologized to Thor, before turning to (Y/n), "Thank you."

"Thor, you told (Y/n) to create this?"

"I've had a vision. A whirlpool that sucks in all hope of life and at it's center is that," Thor pointed at the Mind Stone.

"Putting it in a pure being was the best chance to keep it safe," (Y/n) explained, "The stone would be able to protect itself."

"The gem?"

"It's called the Mind Stone. It's one of the six Infinity Stones, they're unparalleled in their power. I hold the Reality Stone, but even if I have one of the stones, one will not be enough in the endgame."

"Why does your 'vision' sound like JARVIS?" Steve asked.

"We reconfigured JARVIS' matrix to create something new," Tony explained.

"You think I'm a child of Ultron?" Vision questioned.

"You're not?"

"I'm not Ultron. I'm not JARVIS. I am...I am."

"Vision," (Y/n) stated.

"I looked in your head and saw annihilation," Wanda growled.

"Look again."

"Yeah. Her seal of approval means jack to me," Clint rolled his eyes.

"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..." Thor trailed off.

"Is it? Are you? On our side?"

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

"Well it better get real simple real soon."

"I am on the side of life. Ultron isn't, he will end it all," Vision explained.

"What's he waiting for?"

"You."

"Where?"

"Sokovia," Clint cut in, "He's got Nat there too."

"If we're wrong about you, if you're the monster that Ultron made you to be..." Bruce began his threat.

"What will you do?"

"I will destroy the vibranium that makes up your very being and tear the stone from your head so I may contain it properly," (Y/n) shrugged, "I may have created you Vision, and I believe you will do what's right, but I will not hesitate to stop you.

Vision nodded in understanding, "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. 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," Vision held up Thor's hammer and handed it to him.

"Right," Thor nodded, bringing everyone out of their shock, "Well done."

"Three minutes. Get what you need."

"FRIDAY will lead you to the locker rooms where you can find something," (Y/n) told the twins.

After they left everyone turned to her.

"Why are you so supportive of them?" Tony asked, "Do you not remember them fighting with the guy who wants to destroy the world?"

"And who made him Stark?" (Y/n) questioned, defending the two, "They're scared, and they're children. They hold powers they can't hope to understand or fully control without help. I was trained my entire life to control my powers and I still struggle. Imagine how they're feeling."

The team went silent, though (Y/n) knew she had made her point in defending the twins. (Y/n) left the group so they could get ready to leave themselves. She took the elevator to the locker room.

She couldn't entirely explain why she was so set on protecting the twins and helping them. Their connection to the Mind Stone, and the Mind Stone's connection to (Y/n)'s own stone connected them in a way that made all of them understand each other. Even then, (Y/n) knew what it was like to fear your power and be a child of war.

"Oh, I apologize," (Y/n) averted her eyes as she walked in on Pietro changing his shirt.

"Are you here to interrogate us?" Wanda questioned.

"No of course not. I trust you," (Y/n) assured, twisted the rings on her finger, "I'm here to make a proposition. If you didn't know, you received your powers from an Infinity Stone. You two must be incredibly strong to have survived a small glimpse of the power-"

"And you hold even more of the power because you have an entire one?" Pietro asked.

"I was born for it, that's what these markings mean. I know of your struggles, and I was trained to understand them. I want to train both of you."

"Train us?"

The twins looked at each other, and (Y/n) knew they were having a mental conversation.

"Yes," Wanda finally answered for the both of them, "That would be nice."

"Good," (Y/n) smiled, "Come, I'll lead you to the ship then."
