39 Wrong Direction

The chapters are back to their normal size.

----------------------------

As we were talking, I saw Killmonger approaching Ultron's body with an Ultron sentinel head in his hand.

A smile spread across my lips.

Killmonger then used the sentinel head to manipulate Ultron's body and steal the suit and the stones.

Like nanoparticles, the suit decomposed from Ultron's body and merged into Killmonger's body along with the sentinel head.

He then turned around with the Infinity armor and opened his arms to all of us, displaying the stones on his chest.

Everyone got into battle position against him, except for me, Yao, and Friday.

"Cousin, what are you doing?" T'Challa, tired and wounded, still asked firmly of Killmonger.

"The Watcher owes us this. With these stones, we could fix our worlds, our lives." Killmonger said, trying to tempt us. He then looked at a few specifically and tried to entice them.

"T'Challa, Thor, are you gonna turn down the one thing guaranteed to save your homes? Peggy, you can be with your fella again. Strange, you more than anyone know that this is it. This is our only chance." Killmonger said with a confident and warm smile, disguising his thirst for destruction and vengeance against the world with a kind facade.

There was a brief pensive silence.

"Hand over the stones, cousin." T'Challa didn't fall for it and demanded.

Everyone maintained their battle stances against him.

"I'm not your cousin." Killmonger smiled, then grimaced and said, "I'm sorry it has to end this way."

He then attempted to manipulate the stones to destroy us...

Well, attempted is the keyword.

"Huh?!" Everyone who prepared to defend themselves from the attack looked at each other in surprise.

"HAAAHHH!! UUGGHHH!!" Killmonger was grimacing and groaning as he tried to use the stones.

"Sorry, but what you're trying to do is impossible." A chivalrous voice said out of nowhere, speaking to Killmonger.

"Huh?! Who said that? And why?" Killmonger looked around and asked.

"It was me." A hand tapped Killmonger's shoulder.

Everyone was startled and grabbed their weapons, more concerned about the man behind Killmonger than the man himself.

"Ultron?! How are you alive?" Killmonger was startled and stepped back.

"Excuse me, my name is Jarvis, an AI created by Mr. Stark. I'm not Ultron. And about you not being able to use the stones, it's my fault. The sentinel head you used to take control was actually under my control. From it, I invaded both the armor you're wearing and Ultron itself." Jarvis explained politely.

When Thor placed the sentinel head on the counter when we had just arrived, let's say I was invisible and took the opportunity to place nanobots along with an old friend in the sentinel's head.

Killmonger furrowed his brow and cursed, "Fuck!"

"Alright, I understand that I lost, now release me." Killmonger said, irritated.

"I'm sorry, but that's not possible." Jarvis in Ultron's body said apologetically.

"What do you mean? Huh?!" Killmonger was speaking, but when he saw a helmet closing on his head, he had a bad feeling.

Jarvis then looked at me.

"Sir, should I do it now?" He asked me.

"Yes. Remember to erase from everyone's memory, except for the Avengers, that this was the work of Tony Stark and Earth. Also, do not revive people with a level of wickedness that exceeds the limits of deserving to live. Additionally, wish to revive people in safe locations." I told Jarvis.

"*Sigh* Sir, I regret asking. You are making the wish difficult." Javis complained.

"Nah, you got this." I said playfully.

"Wait! Stark, what's going on?" Carter asked, confused.

"It's simple. Jarvis is my artificial intelligence, so I gave him a body. With Killmonger, I know the things he did, so Jarvis is currently manipulating his mind to allow his body to make a wish that I want with the stones, and speaking of that..." I stopped and thought.

"Jarvis... actually, your name will be Vision now. You switch the stones with the ones Friday is using, we'll use the stones from this universe for this wish and avoid an incursion." I said, remembering that the Ultron of this universe was the one I killed.

"Yes." They both AI agreed.

"Alright, stop now!" T'Challa interrupted us angrily, and said firmly, "From what you said, something really bad is going to happen to the body of whoever wishes, so you're complicating the process by using my cousin's body. I can't let you do this."

"Even if he killed the alternative version of me, you, your father, your mother, thousands of Wakandans, and others?" I asked, amused.

"H-h-he what?!" T'Challa stammered in disbelief.

"I don't kill innocents, but I have no mercy for villains." I said, looking at him seriously.

T'Challa clenched his fists and looked down, but then he raised his head and looked at me.

"Still, he has to be judged by the laws of Waka-" He was saying, but he was knocked out.

I looked at Yao, who appeared behind T'Challa amused.

"You?! What's gotten into you?!" Strange looked incredulously at Yao.

Yao looked seriously at Strange and said, "Stephen, understand, this is all for the greater good."

Giving an impotent facepalm, I spoke to Yao, "Love, you have to ease up on the Harry Potter."

Yao just smiled at me, amused.

She likes HP so much that she used the time stone to read future books.

"Well, enough of the delay, Vision, is everything ready?" I asked, looking at Vision.

"Yes, sir. At your command. But the mind stone still needs to be detached from this body." Vision nodded and said.

"Well, I was already prepared for that. With my technology and magic, it won't take long to be able to remove the stone without influencing the body." I said and went to do it.

No one else was trying to stop me. From the things I said, they knew what I was doing.

Natasha was the one looking at me with the most hope in her eyes.

Ten minutes later, the mind stone was detached, and a magical Arc reactor that I had recently created was on Vision's forehead, providing energy to the body.

"Alright, disguise your appearance before doing this, we don't want people cursing their savior." I said playfully.

Doing as I said, Vision and Friday looked human now.

Vision then manipulated Killmonger to raise his hand and snap his fingers.

SNAP

The entire universe seemed to pause for a moment. 

Everything was still, only our thoughts circulated. 

Then everything started spinning again, and as if time were reversing, things began to return. 

Like dust carried by the wind and merged into mud, the destroyed buildings around us returned to their glory. The dark sky returned to shine.

We heard birds singing and soon came the sounds of people. Like a set of dust, people began to gather and take shape.

"My God! I'm alive?! How?!"

"Was that a nightmare?"

"No! I'm sure I died!"

"You all died! I lived for a while after that. It was Ultron who killed us!"

"Ultron? What's that?!"

"It's a killer robot that came out of nowhere!"

These and more similar conversations were happening everywhere. The street we were on was full of people looking at us curiously and taking pictures of us, as we stood out.

At that moment, I was looking at Killmonger, who began to turn into dust. 

It seems that being at death's door, his mind received clarity again. 

He looked ahead, where the people taking pictures of us were all white, and gave a sarcastic smile.

"All this for them? For those who have always oppressed my brothers and sisters? Those same ones who denied and abandoned us? What a waste..." were his last words before his body dissolved into dust.

I looked at that and shook my head.

"You were just looking in the wrong direction." I said softly and looked back, where several young black people were mixed in the crowd taking pictures of us and talking.
