Episode 1 - No Strings

Years after the events in Westview, the original but rebooted Vision has returned to Edinburgh in Scotland.

He works in a local pub, attempting to learn how to interact with humans the way his former self did. In his down time, he lives in a virtual space where he is aided by a new family, all of Stark Industries former A.I. helpers, JARVIS, FRIDAY, U, DUM-E and EDITH. But in the attic of their virtual home he keeps his megalomaniacal father Ultron.

Ultron learns that someone has put a hit on Vision and, bored with his mediocre existence, Ultron leaks the location to the bounty hunter Paladin.

But, unable to kill Vision on his first attempt, Paladin and his handler access the SWORD files relating to the Westview incident. They learn about a boy called Thomas Sheppard who claims to be the son of Wanda Maximoff and Vision.

Paladin kidnaps the impossible boy and threatens to kill him if Vision doesn't turn himself in.
