“I am sorry that was…” Vision waited to find the right word.
“…Odd.”
“Thank you.” Vision thanked Thor.
“Thor, you helped create this?” Rogers asked Thor in confusion.
“I've had a vision. A whirlpool that sucks in all hope of life and at its centre is that.” Thor pointed at the gem.
“What, the gem?” Bruce asked.
However, before Thor could speak David appeared speaking. “It's the Mind Stone. It's one of the six Infinity Stones, the greatest power in the universe, unparalleled in its destructive capabilities.”
“You knew?” Thor asked in surprise.
“Everyone sees the stones for it destructive purposes not for its ability to create and sustain life.” David said as he walked up to Vision.
“Nice to meet you. I am David.” David brought up his hand to Vision who took it in confusion.
“I don’t see you as the child of Ultron nor as Jarvis. I see you as you. You are life given birth by the mind stone just as everyone in the universe was given life by the essence in those stones.” David smiled.
“You knew this would happen didn’t you.” Rogers stated from the side.
“I did since a long time ago. In fact, I confirmed it after spending some time examining the mind stone and using it while it was with the hydra.” David told them casually as everyone looked at me strangely.
“What? You really think I wouldn’t keep an eye on one of the 6 essence that came out of the creation of this universe while it was in the hands of hydra?” I asked them.
“Besides, I have been studying the mind stone, the tesseract aka space stone, and another stone called time stone for a while now.” I told them truthfully.
“Why?” Thor asked me in worry.
“Do you know what they are capable of Thor?” I asked him.
“They are very powerful in their destructio…” Before he could explain I stopped him.
“No, you don’t Thor.” I stated much to his annoyance.
“These stones are capable of more than what you think as simple destruction, and I am preparing all of you and myself for what will come because of it since the very day I came to know about them.”

“Oh yeah when was that?” Pietro asked me.
“When I was 6. I have been training and planning my whole life for that dreaded day.” All of them widened their eyes in shock.
“I know more than anyone in this universe what these stone are capable of. Ask Heimdall if you do not believe me Thor.” David looked at the unbelieving Thor.
“He has been watching me and seen me work with the stones with more familiarity than anyone else in the universe. He knows that I know what they are. That is how your father came to know about me and is wary of me.” David spoke to Thor.
“I can’t read your mind.” Wanda stated from the side.
“No one can unless I allow them.” David turned towards Vision.
“If you can please.” David said as he projected an image to Vision who soon projected it for everyone.
“Tony what you saw was the war caused by someone seeking the stones.” David stated as Tony’s vision appeared once more.
“I was planning to stop it at no matter the cost or blood I was willing to shed for my survival and the survival of my family. For that is how dangerous the stones were in the wrong hands.” Similar to last time the Chitauri were being massacred and everyone soon saw the person massacring them. Everyone’s eyes widened in shock seeing David in the vision.
“But someone changed me along the way.” Suddenly everyone saw Natasha’s body laying before Tony as David knelt before her in pain and agony.
“For her I wanted to stop that future.” Suddenly the whole world crumbled before the energy released by David along with David.
“So, I studied all the stones that was on Earth and let the flow of natural time go on to bring forth the mightiest team on the world to stop the being coming after the stones even at the cost of my life.” David told everyone as the vision was now replaced by showing David next to the stones examining and researching about them.
“So, you can trust him.” David projected a thought to Vision who nodded and walked towards Thor’s hammer picking it up.
“The hammer considers him as worthy. The requirements to be worthy is simple, it is being...” Before David could finish Thor interrupted David in shock.
“Selfless.” Along with everyone’s else’s shock.
“He is not a monster, he is life. Life created by the essence of these stone, just like how those essence gave birth to this universe and all life in it a long time ago.” Thor frowned when I said that.
“What do you mean stones gave birth to everything in this universe and all its life?” Wanda asked me.
“Story for another time. But now know this he is the same as all of you here. He is alive and living. So as part of everything that is living let me extend a joyful greeting of happy birthday Vision.” I stated as I placed a birthday hat on his head.
“Welcome to life.” I smiled.
“Yeah, as much as I would like to blow candles and celebrate, we got to find your wife.” Tony stated from the side.
“Your wife?” Vision asked me from the side along with Maximoff’s looking at me in confusion.
“Sorry I wiped all trace of me from the internet just before Ultron was born, so that he wouldn’t target Nat, our daughter or my family fearing me.” David acknowledged with a smile to Vision who looked surprised by what he spoke.
“Wait you knew about Ultron as well?” Tony inquired.
“I did. I told you there is very little I don’t know in this world.” David affirmed with a smile
“Why would Ultron fear you?” Wanda asked David.
“I manipulate and knew about all of you before you even met each other to this point in time and you ask me why Ultron fears me?” David questioned Wanda with a smile before he disappeared.
“Prepare to fight Ultron in Sokovia.” A voice spoke through the speakers in the building.
“After that you are all going to be enhanced and trained for war.”
