That, at least, we have in common.

[Even Ultron was pretty different from him, all things considered.]

I do. I find there's much to like about humanity, and the world is wide enough for all of us.

[He hesitates a moment, not quite sure how best to put the next part into words.]

I suppose you'd call me an idealist, but among them I see grace, courage, beauty, kindness, loyalty - qualities I want to bring out in myself. It cannot hurt to encourage those qualities in others.

[Connor doesn't know if he can claim the same about humanity. He had spent most of his life programmed to serve it, protect it, regardless of how humans behaved. He had nearly caused the wipeout of all other androids because of that inbuilt motivation. Once he had gone rogue, he hadn't seen much to convince him of the overall good of humanity - but he had seen enough in one human to put his life over the revolution's. That counted for something.

It is idealistic. I'm not certain how much can be achieved, given what I've seen. But, [And this is the crucial part, where their interests align.] you're not incorrect that the potential for those things exist in all of us. Wiping out humanity is as pointless and cruel as wiping out all androids. We have to be better than that.

[That gets a warm smile.]

My thoughts precisely. I think we can work together to achieve a better future than either of our peoples could on their own.

[The next part may be a bit presumptuous, but he presses on anyway.]

And if there's anything I can help you with here to forward that goal, you need only to ask. I'm glad you're here.

[It's a lot to offer, especially when Connor isn't sure it's warranted. Even so he finds himself smiling a bit in return. If nothing else he appreciates how ready Vision is to help and to understand where he's coming from, where not many others here are likely to.]

Thank you. I'm glad you are as well, Vision.
