Changing a Monster's Mind

Junie Potts

"I can't believe that the first couple days of summer break, the Avengers leave me here at the tower, to fight an evil AI my uncle created, without taking me to kick it's ass!" Junie mumbled as she dumped some rubble into a trash can. She was ordered by her Uncle Tony to help clean up the tower before Pepper came home so she wouldn't freak out as much. Junie knew well that she was going to freak out anyway, because Junie was put into danger when Ultron trashed the place.

Junie finished sweeping the floor of all the glass and plopped down on the couch. She popped open a bottle of Coca-Cola and turned on her phone. She had two missed calls from Uncle Tony. "Oh shit." Junie whispered as she dialed in his number and called him back.

"Junie? Why didn't you answer my calls?" Was the first thing Tony said.

"Sorry Uncle Tony, I had my phone off so I wouldn't be distracted by it when I was cleaning."

"Well, that's ok but I do have something to tell you that's very important."

"Ok? What is it?"

"Y'know the Vision right?"

"The guy that Ultron tried to create with the Mind Stone?"

"Yes. He wants you to do something important."

"Ok? What is it?"

"It's probably better for me to come pick you up and take you to the Avengers headquarters."

"Ooo...this is serious, isn't it?"

"Oh, you have no idea. I'll be home in an hour to get you."

•An hour later•

"Hey Uncle Tony!" Junie chirped as she got into the car Tony was driving. Tony had a frown planted on his face and Junie's expression dimmed as she pulled her seatbelt across her body and locked it in. She asked, "What's wrong? Is it what Vision wants me to do?" Tony sighed, "Yes. The Vision...I dint know why he thought this was a good idea...he didn't kill Ultron. Instead, he was given another chance. Vision wanted someone to change his mind by, gaining his trust while he gained theirs. He took away his powers while doing so. And...the Vision said your the one for the job."

Junie's eyes widened as Tony turned away and started to drive to the headquarters. Junie whispered, "How...how am I going to change his mind..." Tony chuckled, "It's ok if you can't. We'll destroy 'em. He can't escape to the internet or any other minions of his. But, I believe you can do anything. I think you'll be able to do this." Junie nodded and looked out beyond the road. Trees began to surround them instead of buildings. Her heart pounded faster and faster as they got closer to the headquarters.

The building came into view and Junie's heart raced as they parked in front. She hesitantly opened her car door and stepped out slowly. Her whole body was shaking from the adrenaline pumping in her veins. Junie sighed, "Let's do this."
