The room fell into silence for a second before the cradle burst open and the body flew out, heading straight for Thor. Thor grabbed it and flung it towards the other side. It paused, just as it was about to hit the glass wall and looked out into the city.
The atmosphere in the room was tense as everyone waited for the fight to resume. A couple of seconds later, he headed towards us, a confused look on his face, "I'm sorry, that was...odd," he turned to Thor, "thank you."
"Thor, you helped create this?" Steve asked.
"I've had a vision," Thor explained, "a whirlpool that sucks in all hope of life and at it's center is that." He pointed to the gem on Vision's forehead.
"What," Bruce asked, "the gem?"
"It's the Mind Stone," Thor explained further, "it's of the six Infinity Stones, the greatest power in the universe, unparalleled in its destructive capabilities."
"Then why would you bring it to..."
"Because Stark is right," Thor said.
"Oh, it's definitely the end times," Bruce mumbled at the same time I said, "we're doomed."
"The Avengers cannot defeat Ultron," Thor said.
"Not alone," Vision added.
"Why does your 'vision' sound like JARVIS?" Steve asked, voicing my thoughts.
"We... we reconfigured JARVIS' matrix to create something new," Tony said as he walked around examining Vision.
"I think I've had my fill of new," Steve mumbled.
"You think I'm a child of Ultron?" Vision asked.
"You're not?" Steve shot back.
"I'm not Ultron," Vision said in that calm tone of his, "I'm not JARVIS. I am...I am."
"I looked in your head and saw annihilation," Wanda spoke up.

"Look again," Vision said.
"Yeah," Clint said, "her seal of approval means jack to me."
"Their powers, 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..." Thor tried to explain.
"Is it?" Steve interrupted, "are you? On our side?"
"I don't think it's that simple," Vision replied.
"Well it better get real simple real soon," Clint said.
"I am on the side of life," Vision said, "Ultron isn't, he will end it all."
"What's he waiting for?" Tony asked.
"You," Vision replied.
"Where?" Bruce asked.
Vision didn't reply, it was Clint who did, "don't know yet. I can't get hold of anything. Can't find Nat either."
"If we're wrong about you," Bruce said, in a threatening tone, "if you're the monster that Ultron made you to be..."
"What will you do?" Vision asked, "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. 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 held up Thor's hammer making me suck in a deep breath in surprise. It seemed like I wasn't the only one who was shocked. Everyone else was looking at Vision as well.
Thor took the hammer with a shocked look on his face as well, "right." To his credit, he tried not to look shocked, smiling at all of us as he pat Tony on the shoulder, "well done."

Steve turned to all of us, "let's find Ultron."

I know that this is much shorter than my usual chapters, but I'm updating early to thank you for 2k reads! Thank you so much!!!! You guys are the best! Now I sound like a little kid. But I don't care because I am soooo happy!!! I mean, it hasn't even been a month since we reached 1k! Again thank you all sooo much for reading!
So, I changed the 'found Nat and Ultron' part because that means the movies coming to an end. And I need a little more time. So I'm extending Cap's three minutes to a couple of days. The next few chapters will be AU!
Please consider giving a vote or leaving a comment to let me know what you think!
Thanks for reading!

The Ruins of Magincia
They say all things end in time, but the exalted City of Magi would’ve begged to differ. Yet when an attempted coup goes wrong, the city finds itself brought to the very brink of destruction. In the wake of the calamity that left no survivors, the autonomous infrastructure still operating the ruined city seeks to restore what was lost. Luckily for it, the Mana-devoid Universe it awoke in holds an unexpected surprise: a planet full of sentient life forms. All capable—with a little help—to become the next generation of Magi. Back on Earth, Millie McArthur is a pregnant out-of-work mechanic struggling with the prospect of moving back in with her parents after leaving her unfaithful fiancé. That is until she finds herself just one of the hundreds that have been shanghaied by the callous artificial constructs still manning the ruins of Magincia. Now, she must struggle to learn magic, compete for resources, get good 'grades,' and fulfill the seemingly arbitrary requirements for her future job in this broken city. All while keeping herself, and her son, alive. Is the miracle of magic really enough to make up for all the pain? The Ruins of Magincia is a dark fantasy that's heavy on the drama (LitRPG aspects are very light). Chapter lengths can be anywhere from 7k-12k and there's no current release schedule as I'm focusing on wrapping up volume one.

Just a Game
“A great corruption is spreading. The people cry out for a savior. For a hero. For YOU! Come join the fight, as the chosen of World Tree! Receive the blessings of the gods, battle fierce monsters, and become the hero you were meant to be, in Arcanum Online!” It was the cheesiest commercial Ethan had ever heard, but the gameplay was enough to draw him - and thousands of others - to the fantasy world of Lazuros. It’s the sort of place that can really draw you in - a huge open world, a deep character customization system, and a feature that makes time pass slower inside the game, extending your limited playtime! It was a little strange, though. As if it was a bit too realistic for a game of swords and sorcery. The NPC’s seemed almost alive, most quests didn’t reset and monsters respawned slowly. Still, for all it’s quirks, it was a good game! Just a game. And nothing more. …right?

A loose thread
The goddess picked him up. He tried to struggle free, but her grip only tightened. Eventually her thumb caught his head, pulling it backwards. He stared helplessly as she brought her free hand closer, revealing a small vial in her massive hand. She pressed it to his lips, and he felt the contents flow into him. He tried not to drink it, but his body would not listen. Despite his revulsion, his body ignored him by drinking deeply. "Drink and forget. I will give you everything you ever wanted. A loving family. A comfortable home. And then, " Her grip tightened, and forcing the air out his lungs. He coughed up the strange liquid and caused more to spill. “And then, you will pay for your defiance. On your twentieth birthday you will remember.” She pulled the vial away and turned him to look at her. “You will remember, just as everything you love is taken from you, right before your eyes…” Her voice trailed off and his world went dark. .... The above leads right into the story. The first chapter is a bit rough as the MC (a child at the time), hurts himself rather badly. I will try to include similar warnings on chapters as the story goes on, but I want to be up front that I may miss or forget things. Many of the tags are included so I can have flexibility writing the story. I am posting this largely to hold myself accountable to keep writing. Chapters will be short, but I am planning to post weekly. This is the first thing I have written (you've been warned). I am enjoying the story and I hope you will too. Please feel free to let me know what you think of the story as it progresses.
