The old Avengers headquarters.

James Rhodes, having a meeting with holographic government officials. But Rhodey was just talking to one of them, the Secretary, while the others either listened or did their own work.

Rhodes: Still no word from Vision?

Secretary: Satellites lost him, somewhere over Edinburgh....

He continued

Secretarl: On a quinjet with four world's most wanted criminals  

Rhodes: You know their only criminals because you them that, right sir?

Secretary: My gosh, Rhodes, your talent for my horseshit rivals my own.

Rhodes: If it weren't for those Accords, Vision would still be here...

Secretary: I remember your signature on those papers, Colonel...

Rhodes: That's right

Secretary: And I'm pretty sure I've paid for that.....do you have any second thought?

Rhodes: Not anymore...

Steve: Mr. Secretary

A voice spoke up from the entrance, Rhodey couldn't help but smirk at the Secretary's reaction when Steve walked in, tagging behind him was Sam, Natasaha and Wanda; Vision had his arm draped around her shoulders as she helps to support him.

Secretary: You have some nerve...

He growled, though he is a hologram you could still see the annoyance on his face.

Steve: I'll give you that, you could use some that right now...

Secretary: The world's on fire, we don't even know what we're up against...and you think just because of that, all is forgiven?

Steve: I'm not seeking for forgiveness and I'm way past asking permission. Earth just lost her best defender, so we're here to fight..

Natasha: And if you wanna stand in our way...we'll fight you, too.

Secretary: That's it....arrest them!

Rhodes: All over it.

Secretary: That's a court-martial!

Rhodey doesn't listen and just turns off the hologram, then turns to Steve.

Rhodes: It's good to see you Cap

Steve: You too, Rhodey....

Both of them exchange smiles, they're both happy to see each other again after a few years.

Rhodes: Well, you guys really look like crap...must've been rough these couple years, huh?

Rhodey chuckles, gaining a glare from Sam.

Sam: Yeah, the hotels we stayed in, weren't exactly five-star...

Bruce: Well....I think you look great...

A voice speaks from the shadows, Bruce slowly walks towards them, but stops after a couple steps. They all just stare at Bruce.

Bruce: Yeah I'm back...

Natasha: Hi, Bruce

She gives Bruce a small smile, while he does the same.

Bruce: Nat.

Sam: Well...this is awkward...

Sam said while trying not to cringe.

Steve: We gotta assume they're coming back, right?

Bruce: And they can clearly find us.

Sam: We need all hands on deck...

Natasha: Where's Clint?

Rhodes: Well after the whole Accords situation, he and Scott took a deal. It was too tough on their families...

Bruce: Who's Scott?

Rhodes: Ant-man

Bruce: Wait, there's an ant-man and spider-man now?

Steve: That's not the point here...

Bruce: Okay, look....Thanos has the biggest army in the Universe. and he's not gonna stop until he gets....he gets....

Bruce stutters, he then points at Vision's head.

Natasha: Vision's stone.

Steve: Well then, we have to protect it.

Vision: No, we have to destroy it.

All of them turn to Vision with a sense of shock and disbelief, especially Wanda.

Vision: I've been giving a good deal of thought to this entity in my head, about its nature. But also its composition. I think if were exposed to a sufficiently powerful energy source, something, very similar to its own signature, perhaps...

Bruce: Its molecular integrity would fall. And you, with it.

Sam: Were are not having this conversation.

Vision: Eliminating the stone is the only way to be certain that Thanos can't get it....

Steve: That's too high a price....only you have the price to pay it....

Vision: Thanos threatens half the Universe. One life can't stand in the way of defeating him....

Steve: But it should, we don't trade lives Vision....

Vision: Captain, 70 years ago, you laid down your life to save millions of people, tell me how this is different?

Steve: Because you might actually have a choice in the matter....your mind is made up of a complex construct of overlays....Jarvis, Ultron, Tony, Bruce, me, the stone

Sam: You're saying Vision isn't just a stone?

Steve: I'm saying that....if we take the stone out, there's still a whole part of Vision left...

Wanda: Maybe even the best parts....

Wanda says as she brushes her finger tips across Vision's cheek.

Sam: Can we do that?

They all look at Bruce.

Bruce: Don't look at me! Not me. Not here.

Rhodes: Well...you better find someone and somewhere fast. Ross isn't just gonna give you all back your old rooms back.

Steve: I know somewhere....
