[Captain America looks at Vision and asks, "Why does your voice sound like JARVIS?"]
["We reconfigured JARVIS's operational matrix. Created something new," Tony explained.]
[Captain America immediately thought of Ultron, and replied dryly: "I think I've had my fill of new."]
[Vision turned to Captain America: "You think I'm a child of Ultron?"]
["You're not?"]
[Vision shook his head: "I'm not Ultron. I'm not JARVIS. I am... I am."]
[He exchanged glances with Tony and Banner, and Banner glanced at Tony meaningfully.]
["I looked in your head and saw annihilation," Wanda said, stepping forward to confront Vision.]
[Vision replied simply, "Look again."]
[Barton approached and remarked sarcastically to Wanda: "Yeah, her approval means jack to me."]
["Their powers, our fears, Ultron himself—they all came from the Mind Stone. It's nothing compared to what it can unleash. But with it on our side..."]
[Thor explained the stone's immense capabilities to everyone, underlining Vision's potential importance to their cause.]
[But Captain America remained skeptical. He looked directly at Vision: "Is it? Are you? On our side?"]
[Vision was silent for a moment before answering: "I don't think it's that simple."]
["Well, it better get real simple real soon."]
["I am on the side of life. Ultron isn't. He will end it all."]
[Tony narrowed his eyes: "What's he waiting for?"]
[Vision answered calmly: "You."]
["Where?"]
[Barton shared the information he'd received from Natasha: "Sokovia. He's got Nat there too."]
[Banner slowly approached Vision: "If we're wrong about you, if you're the monster that Ultron made you to be..."]
[Vision asked: "What will you do?"]
[Banner didn't answer, simply staring at him in silence. Vision understood the implied threat and paced slowly.]
["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."]
[Everyone listened silently as Vision continued.]
["We have to act now. And not one of us can do it without the others. Maybe I am a monster. 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 walked to the table, lifted Mjölnir, and handed it to Thor.]
[Thor, who had been standing with his hands on his hips, froze momentarily at the sight. Everyone watched in astonishment as Vision handled the hammer with ease.]
[Thor accepted the hammer, and Vision walked out with the others following. Thor looked at the hammer in his hand and simply said: "Right."]
[He followed the group and patted Tony's shoulder as he passed: "Well done."]
[After they left, everyone snapped back to attention, and Captain America immediately ordered: "Three minutes! Get what you need."]
"I didn't expect Vision would be created this way!" Tony remarked, surprised that it was ultimately Thor who had taken the initiative to help bring Vision to life.
No one had anticipated that Vision would be neither Ultron nor JARVIS exclusively, but a combination of both, merged with the Mind Stone!
By this time, they were already in New Jersey. They had previously learned about Zola's existence through Bucky's recovered memories, but this time Zola couldn't delay them—Tony had cut off Zola's connections to the outside world the moment he detected him.
But Zola proved resilient. Realizing he couldn't match JARVIS, he chose to destroy his data and terminate his own consciousness.
Although Tony couldn't prevent Zola's digital suicide, JARVIS managed to interrupt the process and hack into Zola's database, rapidly copying vast amounts of classified information, including details about how Bucky had killed Tony's parents.
While Tony felt some renewed anger reading this, Bucky had already confessed to him long ago, which tempered his reaction. It only intensified Bucky's guilt.
[Barton opened his equipment vault, which contained a diverse array of specialized arrows. He methodically selected what he would need.]
[Pietro tried on a new pair of running shoes and changed into breathable clothing, while Wanda stared thoughtfully at Vision, who was deep in conversation with Thor.]
[With JARVIS now transferred into Vision's body, Tony needed a new artificial intelligence. He selected an AI program named FRIDAY from among several chips, then inserted it into his system. After loading, FRIDAY's voice activated: "Good evening, boss!"]
[Pietro spotted a red leather jacket and tossed it to Wanda, startling her from her concentration.]
[Barton held a photograph of Laura and their children in his hand, momentarily alone with his thoughts.]
[Tony spoke quietly with Banner: "No way we all get through this. If even one tin soldier is left standing, we've lost. There's gonna be blood on the floor."]
["I got no plans tomorrow night," Captain America replied with raised eyebrows, suggesting that if all went well, they could celebrate their victory then.]
["I get first crack at the big guy. Iron Man's the one he's waiting for," Tony stated, already formulating his strategy.]
[Vision approached from behind and agreed, "That's true. He hates you the most."]
[Barton tucked the photograph into his pocket, and Pietro inserted earbuds. They were already aboard the Quinjet, heading toward Sokovia.]
["Ultron knows we're coming. Odds are we'll be riding into heavy fire. That's what we signed up for. But the people of Sokovia, they didn't. So our priority is getting them out."]
[The Quinjet soared over Strucker's former base as they arrived in Sokovia.]
[Pietro used his superhuman speed to race directly to the local police station, bursting in to shout: "We're under attack! Clear the city! Now!"]
[The police officers barely reacted, dismissing him entirely. Those playing games or lounging at their desks continued their leisure activities, paying no attention to his warning.]
[Finally, Pietro reentered with an AK-47 and fired several rounds into the ceiling, then shouted, "Get off your asses!" He tossed the weapon to a nearby officer and vanished in a blur.]
[The sudden gunfire jolted the officers into action. Many reached for their sidearms, but Pietro had already disappeared without a trace.]
