As the trio exit the cave, Thor hastily bids farewell to Eric before hoisting Stiles up and taking off towards Avengers Tower.
Stiles grasps his head in his hands as his eyes continue to give of that crimson glow, Thor glances down at his brother with great worry but knows that his brother can handle anything thrown at him.
Landing on the platform outside Avengers tower. A large commotion could be heard from inside. Sharing a look with one another, the two Asgardians quickly rush towards the source.
Skidding round the corner, Thor and Stiles see all of the Avengers gathered around some sort of cradle. Glass covers the floor and many of them have Scrapes and bruises. Stiles also notices that Natasha isn't with them.
Thor quickly glances around the group, before setting his eyes on the cradle. The vision from earlier comes rushing to the forefront of his mind. Jumping on top of it, he raises his hammer ready to blast it with lightning.
"Wait!" Bruce shouts as he goes to move forward. Bruce takes one step and suddenly finds he can no longer move, a pressure on his neck forces him to look behind him.
When Bruce cranes his neck to look what the pressure is, he freezes. Stiles stands there, arms around Bruces neck in a chokehold like manner. With his eyes pulsating that crimson hue.
Bruce goes to speak, but no words come out. A few members pick up on Stiles appearance and looks at him wearily, one of those being Wanda. With a look towards Thor, Stiles nods and Thor nods back before unleashing a chain of lightning from the hammer onto the cradle beneath his feet.
Lightning sparks in every direction and Stiles chooses that time to release Bruce from his hold and move to stand in front of him and Wanda, taking any stray blasts of lightning that come in that direction.
A screen on the side that is connected to the cradle indicates a massive energy overflow and immediately shuts off. Thor continues to blast the lightning for a few moments before stopping. Everyone looks at him with a flurry of emotions.
Not soon after, the cradle bursts open and Thor gets sent flying. A red figure emerges and crouches on the floor in-front of the now destroyed cradle. Many Avengers get into safe cover, Stiles chooses otherwise and moves to stand by his brother, helping him stand.
The figure begins to stand upright, glancing rapidly around the room with a sense of confusion. Stiles takes a good look at the being and freezes when he notices the yellow object on the centre of the beings head. Grasping his head, a pulse begins echoing through Stiles mind.
Noticing the commotion, Vision looks towards Stiles and his eyes narrow onto him. Almost immediately after, he flies forward and grasps Stiles by the head. Sending them both flying through Avengers tower and stopping just before the window to the outside world.
Vision stops and stares into Stiles eyes, which have stopped pulsating and now stay a deep red. Stiles stares back, the pain still emanating throughout his skull, and occasionally glances at the stone on the Visions forehead.
"Release him. Now." Thor bellows. Steve grabs his shield and jumps down, ready to attack. Thor holds his hand up, signalling Steve not to move. With a look of confusion Steve obliges and stands down.
Vision ignores Thor instead choosing to look past Stiles and instead focusing on the city outside. The longer he looks the more his own reflection begins to come into frame and soon, Vision is staring at himself. With one quick glance back at Stiles, Vision turns and slowly floats back to the ground.
As Thor places Mjolnir down, the remaining Avengers rush down from the lab. Clint spots Stiles in the Visions grip and his fists tighten slightly. Thor approaches the Vision apprehensively, reaching his arms out so he can take his brother. Vision looks at Thor for a second before nodding slightly and places Stiles down.
Thor places Stiles arm over his shoulder to help him stand. While Stiles doesn't glare at Vision, instead looking at him with wonder and curiosity. The glow in his eyes has now died down, so they are now back to their original whiskey brown.
Vision lands gently on the ground and begins to speak in an all to familiar voice. "I am sorry. That was... odd. Thank you." He says looking towards Thor. "And I am sorry for that. I am not quite sure what came over me." He says looking at Stiles. Looking away, Vision flexes his shoulders and an elegant golden cape manifests itself onto his shoulders.
"Thor. You helped create this?" Steve asks as he looks at Thor as if he was crazy.
"I've had a vision. A whirlpool that sucks in all hope and life, and at it's center is that." Thor explains with a point towards the gem on Visions forehead.
"What? The gem?" Bruce questions.
"It's the Mind Stone. It's one if the six Infinity Stones. The greatest power in the universe, unparalleled in it's destructive capabilities." Thor explains to the group, with a subtle glance towards Stiles.
"Then why would you bring..."
"Because Stark is right." Thor cuts Steve off.
"Oh, it's definitely the end times." Bruce says. Stiles lets out a chuckle as he removes himself from Thor's shoulder. Now being able to stand on his own.
"The Avengers cannot defeat Ultron." Thor tells them.
"Not alone." Vision adds.
"Why does your Vision sound like Jarvis?" Steve asks, voicing Stiles thoughts.
"We reconfigured Jarvis's matrix, to create something new." Tony answers as he walks towards and around Vision.
"I think I've had my fill of new." Steve quips.
"You think I'm a child of Ultron?" Vision asks Steve.
"You're not?" Steve questions unbelievingly.
"I'm not Ultron. I am not Jarvis. I am... I am." Vision speaks, everyone looks confused.
"I looked in your head and saw annihilation." Wanda states, moving towards Vision.
"Look again." Vision responds but is met with a scoff coming from Clint.
"Her seal of approval means jack to me." He states as he moves from his current position, to where Stiles is standing. With a look asking if he is okay, Stiles nods and Clint looks slightly relieved.
"Their powers, the horrors in our heads, Ultron himself, they all came from the Mind Stone. And they are nothing compared to what it can unleash. But with it on our side..." Thor explains, slightly defending the Maximoffs.
"Is it?" Steve interrupts befor looking towards Vision. "Are you? On our side?"
"I don't think it's that simple." Vision states.
"Well it better get real simple, real soon." Clint fires back. Stiles places a hand on his shoulder shaking his head.
"I am on the side of life. Ultron isn't. He will end it all." Vision explains.
"Whats he waiting for?" Tony asks.
"You."
"Where?" Cap asks.
"Sokovia. He's got Nat there, too." Clint explains.
"Wait what?" Stiles asks. Blindsided by the fact Nat got taken.
Bruce looks at Vision and slowly walks towards him. "If we're wrong about you, if you're the monster Ultron made you to be..."
"What will you do?" Ultron asks. Bruce goes to answer but can't.
"Nothing. They will do nothing." Stiles speaks. "Because they can't. I, on the other hand." He says looking towards Vision.
"Yes. You could, but you won't." Vision states.
"And why not?" Wanda questions, as the rest of Avengers look between Vision and Stiles.
"Because he is like me." Vision answers. Everyone looks towards Stiles. "He is like me, but incomplete." Vision continues. Everyone now looking confused, everyone except Thor and Stiles.
"What do you mean, 'Incomplete'?" Steve asks.
Vision looks towards Stiles. "You didn't tell them? Interesting. How did you think his new abilities came to be. While I hold the power of the Mind Stone, Stiles wields a piece of another Infinity Stone. The Reality Stone."
Everyone looks at Stiles, either shocked or apprehensively. With a sigh, Stiles allows the veins in his arms to glow, showing them to the group. "Happened last year, when Thor and I saved earth from a being looking to take over the nine realms."
A few nod while a couple others are still silent. Wanda stares at him and her eyes sweep over his arms before focusing on his own eyes. For a split second they make eye contact, and theres eyes both begin to glow but immediately stop once Wanda looks away.
"Yes, that is why you are incomplete. I have no doubt that if you were to wield the full power of the stone, you would be on of the most powerful forces in the universe." Vision adds. Stiles shares a look with him before glancing back at his arms.
"Back to the topic at hand... Ultron." Tony speaks, bringing everyone back to reality.
"Yes. 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." Vision goes on to say. "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." Vision says as he looks down at his own hands. Stiles notices Vision looks at Mjolnir with curiosity and Stiles gains a wicked smirk on his face. "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." Vision finishes. Swinging up and presenting Mjolnir to Thor.
Stiles' smirk grows wider as everyone else looks shocked and some even jealous. Thor apprehensively takes the hammer and Vision walks off. Everyone else is left speechless.
"Right." Thor breaks the silence, beginning to walk off as well, but stops by Tony and claps him on the shoulder. "Well done."
Stiles follows after Thor, the smirk not leaving his face. Thor looks towards his brother and lets out a sight.
"So... Thor."
"Shut up."
Stiles enters one of the many locker rooms and comes across Wanda, holding a red jacket and looking out the window. Moving to do the same, Stiles looks to see she is looking wearily towards Vision.
"We can trust him." Stiles speaks. Wanda, so deep into her thoughts she never heard Stiles enter, jumps and turns to face him. Once the shock passes, she looks out the window once more before moving across the room towards a mirror.
"How do you know?" She asks, her accent thick.
Also giving Vision one last glance, Stiles moves away from the window and towards a two story locker at the end of the room. Opening it up to find his spear.
"Like he said. I'm just like him." Stiles answers. With a sigh he closes the locker and turns to face Wanda, who is looking at him from her reflection in the mirror.
"The Infinity Stones were created together, so they share a bond dating back since the beginning of time. So with myself harbouring a piece of one of the Stones. It's... It's as if we share something that runs much deeper than my bond for my brother, or any of my family for that matter." Stiles confesses.
Wanda is silent. Unsure of what to say, a memory comes back to her and she clears her throat, gaining Stiles' attention.
"About before, when I entered your mind. Was that really..."
"My mother. She was a very powerful witch, so I created her to defend my mind since I didn't want anyone poking around up there." He says with a smirk towards Wanda, her face heats slightly and looks away. "I created her so she has her own mind and will, even some of her magic as well." Stiles adds.
"So, when I..."
"Yes, that was mostly me. I was the one who kept you trapped against the wall. But my mother did mitigate your magic all on her own."
"How? I thought you were unconscious. How can you know what happened with exact detail." Wanda questions. Stepping forward towards Stiles.
"Because I was there, hearing it all happen. And at the end I even saw a little." Stiles reveals.
The cogs turn in Wanda's mind and finally it clicks. "That... That was you?"
"Yes. That was me." Stiles tells her.
Silence encompasses the two. As they continue to stare into each others eyes, both of their eyes begin to glow, Wanda's crimson while Stiles blood red. They continue to stare in silence before Pietro comes running in. Interrupting the pair. "Wanda. Let's go." He urges.
Wanda snaps out of her thoughts and looks towards her brother, with a nod she looks back at where Stiles once was only to find him gone. Looking around her eyes skim over the corner of the room where the shadows seem the flow around before completely dissipating.
