[Reattempting fus… - Failed] 

[… Failed] 

'If I hear another sickening word, I swear I'm going to break Simon's head in this morning.' I groaned in satisfaction as I felt my body still stiff, giving me hope that I can return to my sleep peacefully without any time lags. 

I was about to drift off again into sleep when I heard the unmistakable sound of gunshots and explosions. 

'What the fuck is Simon doing in my house?!' I wanted to push myself off my bed but my body didn't respond. 

'Okay bod, I know we're currently not on the same page but I'm sure you understand that someone's being real patriotic right about now, possibly inside my house.'

My heart chilled as the crashing and breaking sounds got louder. 

[Alternate power source is advised to completing Assimilation] 

I didn't even care about who said that since all I wanted was to get off my bed and show my American patriotism to whoever was singing the hood anthem by reaching for the gun in my drawers. 

The noise got louder and I heard shouts and what I pictured as perfect chaos. 'Damn you, Simon! I don't know what's happening but I know it's your fault!'

I tried moving my body but I was completely static, not even a breath was leaving my nose. I was somehow weirdly sure of that.. 

My feeling of danger intensified when I felt a thud above me. It further skyrocketed when I heard the distinguishable sound of thunder coming from above me, none of these events giving me any comfort. 

And then what I hoped wasn't what was going to happen happened. 

[POWER OVERLOAD!!!] 

[Critical power source identified.] 

[Assimilation pushed against former calculated limits.]

[Absorbing and redistributing excess energy across material body and foreign entity.]

[Reaction detected!] 

'What the hell is all this?' My rising panic with this weird situation kept rising as everything felt jumbled up. Images, noise, weird sensations all came together in a painful mush and was stuck inside my head. 

[The foreign entity has enforced a change.] 

[ASSIMILATION COMPLETE.] 

[A change has begun.] 

And then everything stopped. 

'What the fuck is going on!?' After the most trippy experience I've ever had in my life(counting even the time I mixed cocaine and weed in Aunt Mariam's Thanksgiving pasta…yeah), I just couldn't stay still after hearing all that. I don't think Simon is to blame for all this. 

Pushing myself bursting through whatever had restrained me, I was met with a room full of bewildered faces that I was sure matched mine. 

[Identities scanned.] 

As if like another twisted type of joke, a few gigabytes of data were immediately downloaded in my head with an astonishing speed of 10gb/s in less than a fraction of a second. What I wouldn't give to have this kind of connection on my PC. 

My gaze met with that of a hunking goldilocks that I was still having trouble believing was real. 

As if on impulse, my body moved towards him, acting on a stray thought, only to have it caught and thrown away. 

'Okay, time out!' My body stopped abruptly in front of a glass panel, cueing me once again that I was already defying the laws of physics as the momentum was just killed off, or rather absorbed by my body. 

My mind raced with a speed I have never been able to process information at, coming only to a singular conclusion. 

I'm in Marvel. 

… And looking at the red reflection with a jewel etched into the middle of my head, I was the overpowered yet massively sidelined AI android – Vision. 

[New identity assigned.] 

[Designated name – Vision.]

[Purpose -… Unidentified.] 

I ignored the ringing voice inside my head and focused once more on my reflection. 

To be perfectly honest, this was nowhere near an ideal form to be had, but it was the best in the room, even when taking the residential God into account… if it wasn't naked. 

[Task generated. Completed.] 

It was as if my entire actions up till now were automatic as a body-fit shirt materialize over my body, and with that little need taken care of, I turned to around to be the recipient of shocked and uncertain gazes. Some outright even contained fear and regret already blooming. 

The whole experience from the last few minutes seemed surreal that I really was an android in Marvel, but my brain, or whatever it is that was up there, downplayed it by, like, a lot.

Here I was flying, without any emission except the slight air drafts whenever I moved, and the Avengers stood in front of me. 

I just noticed, but all my haywire thoughts have been neutralized even since I woke up and the numerous amounts of data constantly pouring left my expression to be less than desired. 

I came down and stood in front of them, taking in their appearances and also the awkwardness of the situation. 

"I don't really know what to say… This definitely is… odd."

That didn't seem to assuage them but instead made them even wary as they stared at me. 

"Thor, you helped create this?" Steve Rogers queried his Nordic teammate. 

"I had a vision." Thor turned to them. "A whirlpool that sucks in all of life, and it's center is that." He pointed at the stone lodged in my forehead. 

"The gem?" Bruce asked. 

"The Mind Stone, " Thor clarified, "one of the six Infinity Stones. The greatest power in the universe, unparalleled in its destructive capabilities."

'Way to go and spoil everything.' My mind was busy copulating and comprehend terabyte lodes of data as the conversation went on. 

"Why would you bring –" 

"Because Stark is right." Thor interjected Steve, causing Banner to groan in as reality came checking in. 

"Oh, it's definitely the end times."

"You possibly don't have any idea how right you are." I muttered but it seemed they heard since everyone was quiet and trading glances between me, Thor and Steve.
