The synthetic being stood looking around in a confused state. He looked at Thor and leapt.
Thor countered his attack and threw him out the window behind him. The android flew across the room but stopped when it reached the window overlooking the city.
Steve, Thor and Hayden jumped into the main room, watching the mysterious being. Thor motioned for them to stay where they were.
Everyone entered as he floated towards them.
"I'm sorry. That was... strange." He said before turning his gaze to Thor. "Thank you."
After a moment, the android summoned a cape to mimic the Asgardian.
"Thor. Did you help create this?" Steve asked.
"I had a vision. A vortex that sucks up all hope of life, and in its center..." Thor explained, pointing to the yellow stone on the android's forehead. "...This."
"What? The pearl?" Bruce asked.
"That's the Mind Stone. It is one of the six Infinity Stones. The greatest power in the universe, unparalleled in its destructive capabilities." Explained the Asgardian.
Hayden looked at Thor. "Then why..."
"Because Stark is right."
"It really is the Apocalypse." Said Bruce.
"The Avengers can't defeat Ultron." Declared Thor.
"Not alone." Said the being.
"Why does your vision look like Jarvis?" Asked Steve.
"We configured the Jarvis matrix to create something new." Answered Tony.
"I think I've got it all new." Said Hayden, crossing his arms.
"You think I'm a child of Ultron." Said Vision.
"Aren't you?" Asked Steve.
"I'm not Ultron." He replied. "I'm not Jarvis. I'm..."
"I looked inside your head and saw the annihilation." Said Wanda as she approached him.
"Look again." He offered.
"His seal of approval means nothing to me." Scoffed Clint.
"Their powers, the horrors in our heads, Ultron himself, they all come from the Mind Stone." Thor explained. "And they're nothing compared to what it can unleash. But with that on our side..."
"Is that it?" Steve asked, looking at the Vision. "Are you? On our side?"
He paused for a moment before speaking.
"I don't think it's that simple." He said.
"Well, it better get real simple real fast." Replied Hayden.
"I'm on the side of life. Ultron isn't. He'll destroy it." Explained Vision.
"What is he waiting for?" Tony asked.
"You." Vision replied.
Bruce crossed his arms.
"Where?" Bruce asked.
"In Sokovia. He has Nat there too." Replied Clint.
"If we're wrong about you... if you're the monster Ultron made you..." Bruce began.
"What will you do?" Vision asked.
No one said anything.
"I don't want to kill Ultron. He's unique... and he's suffering. But his suffering will engulf the Earth. So he must be destroyed."
