I have two more chapters!! and things get revealed
*cries*
this book is tearing me apart to write
Chapter 9
“It’s too bad Steve and Peggy moved away,” Vision stated entering the kitchen.
Wanda looked at him, smiling. “Yeah… but they have to do what’s best for them,” Wanda slipped her hand on the side of Vision’s head. “Just like us,”
“I love you, darling,” Vision said with a gentle smile.
“And I love you…” Wanda now had both of her hands holding Vision’s head. Looking up at him, tears of joy slowly falling.
How marvelous it was to cry because you were happy, and not because you had just lost so much.
“Where are the boys?” Vision asked looking around the downstairs. the living room and kitchen were empty, and everything seemed so silent.
“I… don’t know,” Wanda replied, with a hint of worry in her tone.
“Do we look for them?”
Wanda thought about the question, and then at her husband. “I’m not sure the calmness is nice,”
Wanda and Vision just looked into each others’ eyes, their lips inching closer together.
Wanda broke the kiss by turning her head. “I changed my mind, I don’t like the silence,”
Vision chuckled. “Neither do I,”
“Let’s go look around,”
Before leaving Wanda looked at Vision, she gently lifted her hand to his stone.
“What do you feel?”
Wanda slowly felt the stone with her powers.
“I just feel you…” Wanda said with a bright smile.
~*~
“Boys,” Wanda said softly, pushing their bedroom door open.
“Hi,” Billy said, not daring to look away from the tv.
“What are you doing?” Vision asked entering the room.
“Playing a… game,” Tommy said tilting his head, taking the game very seriously. His hands moved quickly on the controller. His only focus was the tv.
“I don’t remember buying a console…”
“You did, but you always called it a Dvd player, so we wouldn’t buy games, but there are some free ones already on it,”
Wanda looked at Vision, their secret was out.
“I’m really good at it,”
“But I’m better,” Tommy protested.
“Are not!” Billy took his eyes off of the screen, to debate with his brother.
Tommy is the winner! The tv announced.
“Told you,” Tommy gave a smug smile.
Billy crossed his arms out of frustration.
“Well… why don’t we take a break from this and go to the park?” Wanda suggested.
“But the park doesn’t have a tv,” Tommy stated.
“No, but it has a swing set and a… uh… ice cream stand,” Vision said.
Billy and Tommy looked at each other, realizing this meant a lot to their parents. “Ok fine,”
“Great!” Wanda led her boys out the door.
~*~
“Faster!” Billy shouted, sitting on the Merry-Go-Round.
“Yes come on Vis, surely you can go faster,” Wanda stated with a grin.
Vision scowled at his wife, who wasn’t helping. “I’m… trying… my… best,” He said out of breath.
Wanda smiled. “Alright boys, why don’t we go on the swings?”
“Okay!” Billy and Tommy ran to the swings, already starting to pump their legs.
“Thanks for the support,” Vision stated sarcastically.
“I could have done it,”
Vision sighed. “I think they like you more than me,”
“Are you kidding? I’m just the Mom, but you’re the Dad, the incredible Dad,”
Vision looked at his sons on the swings. “Are you sure about that,”
“Positive,”
“Dad come swing!” Billy said, with almost perfect timing.
“Told you,” Wanda smirked.
Vision smiled, giving his wife a light kiss.
They shared a glance, and with a wink from Wanda, they both took off running, racing, like they were kids.
Chapter 10
“Steve!” Bucky was the first one to reach Steve, who was lying on the ground like he had been when Wanda had kicked him out.
“Are you okay?” Sam asked as Bucky helped him up.
“Yeah… she was so real, I dance with her,” Steve looked at Bucky. “I danced with her,”
Bucky’s face saddened. “I know,”
“How are you, really?”
Steve looked around, and then back at his two concerned friends. “I saw a glimpse of what Wanda felt like, and I… couldn’t handle it, not truly,”
“What did it feel like? After you were… mind controlled?”
“I felt pain… and then an almost overwhelming lost, emptiness, and finally grief,” Steve hesitated. “And then everything was fine, perfect even, and I had a wife, and I loved hanging out with Wanda and her family, her kids were sweet and… then it was all gone,”
Sam and Bucky nodded. “What should we do?”
“Wanda… I lost Peggy, and it hurt, bad, but… she lost so much more, and I think it crushed her, I think there’s a part of her who wished she had never come back from the snap,”
“She deserved so much better,” Bucky stated.
Steve sighed. “But we need those stones back,”
“And then she’ll lose it all again,” Sam didn’t seem convinced, things had been so terribly tragic, and Vision’s last words rang through his head.
To grow old in -V
How terribly tragic.
“I’ve given this a lot of thought, and we don’t have a choice,”
~*~
“I found out who sent it!” Peter announced, everyone turned from their planning to gather around Peter’s computer.
“Who was it?”
Peter clicked a button, and then everyone looked in shock.
“Head director of S.W.O.R.D.,” Sam stated, clutching his fists.
“Why did he do it?”
“Well, that’s what security cams can tell us,” Peter looked around the empty tent, no one was there, and it was the perfect time to sneak into the S.W.O.R.D. footage.
~*~
“How’s it coming?” Hayward asked the scientist, who was researching Vision’s faded body.
“Well, everything seems in tack,”
“So everything’s a go for project warbot?”
“Well…” the scientist hesitated in fear. “We need the Mind Stone or a remnant of it,”
Hayward slammed the table. “And where are we supposed to find that?!”
The scientist shivered with fear. “I don’t know…”
“Wanda…” Hayward got a terrible grin on his face.
“Wasn’t she in love with him?”
“All the better, she’ll make Vision so she can have him back,”
“But sir he doesn’t have his memory or really any feelings, he won’t be her Vision,”
“No, but… she won’t know that,”
~*~
“I’m going to kill him,” Clint clutched his fists, anger filling him.
“I’ll help,” Bucky added.
“So he hope she would come and what… bring him back?” Steve looked at Peter like he had all the answers.
“I can skip to that scene,” Peter skipped through the recording and then pressed play.
~*~
Wanda stormed through the doors of the S.W.O.R.D. building. Tears threatened to fall, but she kept her head high, refusing to cry.
“Wanda, I’m glad you could come,” Hayward said with a smile.
“Can I see him?”
“Of course,”
Hayward led Wanda to a balcony overlooking the room where Vision lay.
“I want to take him, and give him a proper funeral,” Wanda stated in almost a whisper.
“The most I can do is let you see him,”
“He’s my love,” Wanda protested.
“That’s just it Wanda, he isn’t yours,” Hayward took a few steps closer.
“Can I get closer?”
Hayward motioned for everyone to leave.
Wanda walked down the stairs to the table where Vision was.
Wanda had given in and had let tears course down her face. She moved her hand over Vision’s forehead.
With her hand, she begin to feel where his stone had once been.
Her hand began to shake, and her lips quivered, barely making out the words.
“I can’t feel you,”
Wanda let out a deep sob.
While her heart screamed no, that this couldn’t be true.
~*~
All the Avengers had a few tears in their eyes. Watching Wanda’d pain and absolute misery, and Hayward’s terrible scheme behind it.
“And that’s it,” Clint stated closing the computer. “This is how it all started, the truth behind it all,”
“Hayward?”
“No, what Wanda just told Vision, was a realization for her, that this is it, this is the end of their story, that this is the ending of them.” Clint looked at everyone in the room. “They say that happy endings aren’t important it’s the chapters, but what if your story is so short, that you don’t have anything, that’s all she’s doing, giving herself a story.”
“She knows it will end, but she just wants something more than that depressing sentence and an empty property,” Steve finished Clint’s statement.
Everyone stood in silence, they hated this, they hated how this would end, and they hated that this was something they had to do.
“Pietro,” Wanda’s soft whisper had everyone facing the screen.
In the show, Wanda had just opened the door to find Pietro on the other side.
Clint looked at the screen, the man who had saved him. The man who had cared for Wanda all their childhood, was there on the screen, looking so real and so alive.

Heyyyy! I’m doing good, thanks for asking! I’ve been pretty busy with various deadlines and stuff. 😅 I do 4H and our fair is at the end of August so this time of year is chaos. I’m also in the process of signing up to have a booth at an art festival in September and I have to give the people pictures of what I would be selling so I’ve been trying to finish up my sample work.
Anyways, how are you doing?

Yeeeeeeeah! Oh nice, haha! I always get self-conscious when someone says they actually look at my blog. 😅😂

XD Yeah, I get that, it is a little weird xD
Pretty good! I almost have made this WIP my longest one (which isn’t much of an accomplishment xD I think the record is almost 8k, but still exciting!)
I’m still working out some plot stuff but I’m just adding to it for now, and it’s been going really well! This one is so much easier to write for some reason.
How’s yours going?
