The Cradle

"Why does your Vision sound like Jarvis?" Steve asks.

"We reconfigured Jarvis's matrix," Tony replies. "To create something new."

"I think I've had my fill of new," Steve says.

"You think I'm a child of Ultron," The Vision says.

"You're not?" Steve asks him.

"I'm not Ultron, he says. "I am not Jarvis. I am... I am." He looks at Bruce and Tony confused.

"I looked in your head and saw annihilation," Wanda says to him.

"Look again," The Vision says.

"Her seal of approval means jack to me," Dad says.

"Dad now is not the time," I say while glaring at him. Wanda and Pietro have already been through enough.

"Their powers," Thor says. "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..."

"Is it?" Steve asks. "Are you? On our side?"

"I don't think it's that simple," Vision says.

"Well, it better get simple real soon," Dad says to the android.

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

"What's he waiting for?" Tony asks him.

"You," Vision replies.

"Where?" Bruce asks.

"Sokovia," Dad answers. "He's got Nat there, too."

"If we're wrong about you," Bruce says to Vision. "If you're the monster that Ultron made you to be..."

"What will you do?" Vision asks him. Bruce stays silent contemplating his answer. But he doesn't seem to find one. "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." He starts looking at his hands self-consciously. "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." He lifts Thor's hammer from the table and hands it to him. Thor takes it from him reluctantly. Vision walks away, leaving the rest of us staring at him in bewilderment.

"All right," Thor says and pats Tony on the shoulder. "Well done."

"Three minutes," Steve tells us. "Get what you need." I rush up to my room and change into a different catsuit becomes mine had rips all over it. I grab a red leather jacket from my closet. It reminded me of Wanda. I walk down to the armory and am met by Wanda in the doorway. I give her the jacket and she thanks me. I spot Pietro in the background changing his shirt. I try my best not to blush as I look at his abs. I clutch my side as I hobble over to my section. I grab a few guns and some ammo to put in my thigh holsters just in case. I dropped some ammo and went to pick it up, but I winced in pain and grabbed my ribs. Pietro rushes over to me and grabs the ammo off of the floor. He hands me the ammo pack and I put it in my belt.

"Are you ok, princessa?" Pietro asks me. Wanda rushes over as well.

"What happened?" She asks me.

"Well, you know, when a robot made of metal punches you, you're bound to break a few ribs," I say laughing, but that just causes me to wince more. "I'll be fine though. We have a fight to win. We should get back to everyone." Wanda nods and heads out of the room. I turn to leave, but Pietro grabs my hand and turns me back to face him.

"You're not fine," he says.

"But I will be when we get back," I tell him. "I can't just sit this one out." He stares at me with a worried look in his eyes. I can't imagine e why he would be worried about me. We've only known each other for a couple of days. I mean that is true, but yet again it feels like I've known him my whole life. As I stare in his eyes I can see him leaning in closer. My body moves on its own and I also lean in. As I close my eyes, I feel his lips on mine. The kiss is soft and gentle, making me feel more alive than I ever have. I want to savor this moment forever. Our lips molded together like we were meant for each other. We were both worried about the fight to come, but that only made the kiss so much more passionate.

"Hey, Y/n, we need to g-," My dad says as he walks into the room. Pietro and I quickly pull apart and see my dad standing in the doorway. I feel my cheeks heat up as I blush. I don't look at my dad and just stare at the ground. God, this is so embarrassing. "I-I was just saying that we need to go."

"Yep," I say as I walk out of the door. I can hear someone running up to me and I'm met with my dad. I don't look at him and keep walking. "I-I'm sorry you had to uh see that."

"Y/n, don't be sorry," he tells me. "I knew this day would come eventually. I just wasn't expecting it to be so soon. You're still my little girl and I just can't imagine letting you go." I finally turn to look at him. "Now, I will approve of this for your sake, but please just do me one favor."

"Ok," I say.

"Keep the affection to a minimum when you're around me," he says. We both laugh and make our way to the jet. When we get there I see that Pietro has already arrived. Dad heads up to the pilot seat while I sit down next to Pietro and strap myself in. Wanda is sitting down across from us and she gives me a knowing smirk. I read Pietro's mind and see that he's thinking about what happened moments prior. Damn, you Pietro.

"Ultron knows we're coming," Steve tells us. Here comes the pep talk. "Odds are we'll be riding into heavy fire. And that's what we signed up for. But the people of Sokovia, they didn't. So our priority is getting them out. All they want is to live their lives in peace. And that's not gonna happen today. But we can do our best to protect them. And we can get the job done. We find out what Ultron's been building, we find Romanoff, and we clear the field. Keep the fight between us. Ultron thinks we're monsters. That we're what's wrong with the world. This isn't just about beating him. It's about whether he's right." After Steve's speech, we take off, heading towards Sokovia.
