The figure launches itself at Thor but Thor was prepared, grabbing the figures body and ditching it across the room through the glass walls of the lab and into the living room.

The figure continues to tumble towards the windows and I wince ready for the smash but it doesn't come as the figure freezes just before the window floating above the ground and looking out into the city below.

Steve and Thor jump over the railings behind the figure as the rest of us make our way down to meet it the long way avoiding the broken glass scattered along the floor.

My gaze flickers to Wanda who stands beside me holding her brother who had run from the floor below watching as she breathed in a silent breath at the sight in front of us.

The figure continued observing the city ignoring us as we all watched in concern. Thor's hand outstretches pausing Steve in his tracks as the super soldier attempts to attack the floating figure.

The figure slowly turns in the air allowing us a better view of its body.

It had a human form but it's skin was blood red with traces of the silver vibranuim running through its body. In the center of its head laid a gem, the one Wanda had been so cautious about. It emits a yellowy golden glow as the figure floats to the floor. A cape emerges from the figures back obviously copying Thor while a grey shirt and pants coated its body.

"I'm sorry. That was... odd." It speaks leaving me in shock as it's voice was none other than Jarvis, Tony's assistant.

"Thank you." It continues nodding to Thor who stood there unsure of what he had helped create.

"Thor you helped create this?" Steve asked aghast, his shield held tightly as he prepares for the worst.

"I've had a vision. A whirlpool that sucks in all hope of life and at its center is that." Thor explains pointing to the gem inside the figures head.

"What? The gem?" I ask crossing my arms still unsure about the potentially threatening figure in front of us.

"It's the mind stone. It's one of the six infinity stones. The greatest power in the universe, unparalleled in its destructive capabilities." The god explains eyeing the figure who doesn't move let alone talk.

"Then why would you bring-" Steve starts only to be interrupted by the impatient god.

"Because Stark is right." Thor states.

"Well there's something I never thought I would hear." I mutter causing a glare to be aimed at me from the billionaire himself.

"The Avengers cannot defeat Ultron." Thor sighs.

My frown deepens at his words a little hurt he thought so but I knew he wasn't wrong.

"Not alone." The figure interrupts stepping forward causing me to step back in which the figure noticed standing still once again.

"Why does your Vision sound like Jarvis." I ask turning to Tony.

"We reconfigured Jarvis's matrix to create something new." Stark replies distractedly, in awe of his creation as it slowly walks towards him.

"I think I've had my fill of new." Steve sighs still wrapping his head around this whole situation. I didn't blame him. I was still unconvinced about this whole gem shit.
