Late afternoon

Nodding to Captain America, Vision will stand and go get his counter-part telling him they are requesting his presense on this mission, he will then go board the Quinjet.

"Excellent," Vision IV replied, with a metallic hint of excitement. "I am somewhat surprised at this turn of events . . . it does increase the likelihood of me being betrayed and left behind by 39.432% however."

Vision IV followed Vision on his way to the Quinjet, entering the elevator for the first time. Looking around, Vision IV commented, "Hmm, extremely similar to the elevator at the Soviet Compound. I wonder, should I change my name to better suit the others? What should I be called? Will I get a uniform?"

Vision IV's questions came rather rapid fire, much like a childs.

Carol lounges in her chair. She's not feeling any better but for now she just pushed her worries aside, she's sure they will still be there then she has time for them. Her eyes wander around the Quinjet, taking in minor differencies from the ones she was used to.
This leaves a damn lot of options. I was away for a long time maybe it is just a new model. Or it is a new model because it is from a bit of the future. Or a different timeline. If you start worrying about every detail of this mission you can go nuts in a heartbeat.

"I wonder, should I change my name to better suit the others? What should I be called? Will I get a uniform?"

"Feel free, on this team some people switch names like others their underwear. Last time I checked we had no uniforms though."

Crap! How does he know I am Tony! A jolt of fear and adrenaline pump through Iron Man for a half second.
And then it passed.
Tony turns around and waits as the others head out of the room.
"What's up Cap?"

Jack placed a hand on the armored shoulder of Iron Man. "A couple of things I wanted to go over with you before we leave." He waited until the others left to continue.

"I have been friends with Tony Stark for a number of years. I have seen what he is capable of doing to himself. I refuse to stand by and watch you destroy your life. More importantly, I swear not to stand by and allow you to put the others at risk. If you can't control the bottle or walk away from it, you need to walk away from this team. If you need support, it's yours. However, there is no way I will permit you to put this team at risk."

Captain America continued to stare directly into the eye sockets of the Iron Man armor. "Tony, last night you were so drunk you could not stand on your own and you tried to attack a member of this team. That is absurd. You are a brilliant man and the spirit of the Avengers. I need to know, can I count on you during this mission?"

 

[Gideon]

Tony looked back at Jack with heavy eyes. Captain America could see the stress lines and the heavy black circles that were ringed around Ton's blue eyes. Blue eyes that somehow didn't have the intensity Captain America was used to seeing.

Oh Crap! I attacked someone. I should tell him but I can't, he's not even the REAL Cap. But he talks like it and walks like it.

Tony stood there staring back at Jack's unwavering gaze a torrent of emotions.

"I was just freaked out. Back home, I'm not even an Avenger. I mean, Obidiah Friggan' Stone is putting me outta buisness. I mean the Avengers are gonna have to disband soon cause I can't pay for them anymore. Can you count on me for this mission?"

Tony gave a half-hearted little shrug.

"Can you? Probably not. I mean, if I keep plaing at being an Avenger, I'll prolly get a real one killed. I wish I was the Tony from one of your times. He would be useful in things other than getting a partner for that night."

Jack's head tilted as he listened to Tony explain things in his reality. Then he moved closer to the man he knew as a friend and smiled.

"Tony, none of us do this job because we think we're great. We do it because we can. The thing that keeps us going is that we don't want to fail, we don't want to let down our friends and teammates. If you weren't an Avenger on your world, and I don't believe that for a minute, you are now. Trust your instincts, they've always served you well. If you have concerns or questions, just ask. We are your teammates but, we're your friends, too."

"Now, c'mon. If we leave Hank alone with the Queenjet for too long who knows what he'll have it programmed to do." Jack Monroe walked to the elevators with the man he knew to be a friend. Back home, Tony Stark was the Avengers. Tony had vouched for him to the rest of the team based on Steve Rogers say so. He had not known Tony very well at that point however, once Tony spoke up for him, he never wavered. Jack knew Tony Stark had been through many trials and ordeals. he also knew he was a strong man that could overcome anything he put his mind to.

'Redwing, have you seen the Sandman? I need to talk to him.'

'Redwing, have you seen the Sandman? I need to talk to him.'

Redwing's head darted to the left accompanied by a squawk. Jack heard the words inside his head. 'Didn't see him leave, Cap . . . sorry. Suppose I could grab some leftovers from Jarvis before we left?'

I wonder, should I change my name to better suit the others? What should I be called? Will I get a uniform?"

Vision IV's questions came rather rapid fire, much like a childs.

A small smile flirts across Visions' face as Vision IV asks his multiple questions, he was such a powerfull creature but it still contained the child like wonder at times, he wonders briefly if he was like that when he was first activated.

"If you wish to change your code name and wear a uniform you may, and rest assured I will do everything in my power to make sure they don't leave you behind." He tells his coun'ter-part as he sits down and waits for the rest of the team to arrive.

Sandman

Flint grimaced at the thought of Ultron tagging along on their mission. He trusted Cap, but he was felt very wary of their new teammate. As the meeting dispersed, he followed the others to the Quinjet, which was apparently some transport vehicle they used. As they walked the corridors of the mansion, Flint kept his eyes on Ultron, watching for any kind of erratic behavior...

 

[Gideon]

Tony's thoughts swirled; the dark shadow that had hung over his life seemed to have been lightened by Jack's confidence. Still, the cloud lingered and Tony brooded. As the quinjet came into view, Tony's mind moved forward to the mission while skipping simultaneously along several paths to make this quinjet better.

As he entered into the jet, the cold face plate of Iron Man looked over to Hank and the Ultron/Vision pairing.

"Do you have any theories to what is causing the temporal disturbance?

"Do you have any theories to what is causing the temporal disturbance?

Hank shook his head. "Not enough data. For all we know, it could be something we did. Will do. Will have been doing. Time travel is murder on tenses."
