"So, how did you meet?" Wanda asked, bringing the mug of coffee to her lips. On the couch in front of her were Clint and Laura Barton, and on the couch beside her was Vision. Her and the synthezoid had been dating for a few weeks, and this trip to the Barton household was one of their first outings as an official couple.

"Well, I've known Clint forever," Laura started. "He lived across the street from me when we were kids. We grew up together, then one day in high school he asked me out, and the rest is history." She took a sip out of her mug. "Of course, it hasn't been easy, with SHIELD, super-heroing, and of course, the kids." She gestured upstairs to the children's rooms. "I wouldn't have it any other way, though." Laura leaned into Clint. Tentatively, Vision put his arm around Wanda, copying the couple that sat in front of them.

"What about you? How did you and Vision become a couple?" Laura asked.

Wanda looked at the android in a flannel shirt and jeans. "Well, I was there for his birth," she laughed.

"To be fair, circumstances were a bit atypical from regular human births," Vision smiled.

"I can confirm," Clint interjected. "I was there."

"He saved me, back in Sokovia. When I thought I had nothing left to live for. After that, we were friends, then after the Accords, we became closer. We were practically dating a few months ago, but now, it's official." Wanda leaned into Vision's arm.

As soon as Wanda had finished, a cry escaped from upstairs. "My turn," Clint muttered as he jumped up to climb the stairs.

"I'll join you," Laura said. "Give these two some time to talk." She winked.

Once they were out of earshot, Wanda asked, "Are you enjoying yourself?"

"Yes, it is quite nice here. Everything is quiet. No noise, no bright light. Just calm."

"I meant if you were enjoying spending time with the Bartons."

"I am. How are you faring?"

Wanda closed her eyes. "I like it here, too. I love this house. You can tell that there is love here, you know? You can see it in the furniture, the pillows, and in the wood floors. It's well worn, but in a good way. It almost glitters with memories." She paused. "Sorry, I was getting sentimental." Wanda waved her hand, dismissing her rambling.

"No, no," Vision gently took her hand. "I like hearing you talk."

Wanda blushed and diverted her mind to another topic. "We should be leaving soon, it's getting late. It's a long drive back."

Vision nodded. "I'll drive."

Wanda shook her head. "No, no, it's alright." Her sentence was punctuated with a yawn, though, and Vision laughed. "That only cements that I'm driving."

"The perks of having a boyfriend that doesn't sleep," Wanda murmured as her eyes closed.

When Clint and Laura returned, Wanda was already asleep. "Long day of training?" Clint asked.

Vision nodded. "I'll get her home."

Clint shook his head. "Alright," he said. "But remember the talk we had. You hurt her, and I kill you."

Laura elbowed her husband. "Clint!"

"It's alright," Vision cut in. "He has compassion for Wanda, and wishes to protect her from the ills a broken romance can bring. I understand."

Laura brought a hand to her chest. "I'm glad you see it that way. I can't even imagine what it'll be like when Lila starts dating." She seemed lost in thought for a moment. "Anyway. There are some preserves in the fridge, you have to take some with you."

Vision scooped Wanda into his arms, and placed her in the passenger seat in the car, along with some strawberry and peach preserves.

It was almost morning when Wanda woke up. "Where are we?" She yawned.

"We're almost there," Vision replied.

"I can't believe I fell asleep last night. How rude was that?" Wanda asked rhetorically.

"The Bartons understand."

"I know, I know. Hey, are these preserves?"

"Yes, Laura wished to send them with us."

"Oh, great, I'm starving. Can we pull over? I want to see the sunrise."

After doing much digging for a spoon, Wanda and Vision sat on the edge of the deserted highway, watching the sunrise.

"I'm glad we went last night," Wanda said between bites of strawberry. "It made me realize what I wanted."

"And what is that?"

"A house in the country. The quiet life. A family."

Vision looked down at himself at her last sentence. "I suppose that future doesn't include me, then."

Realizing her mistake, Wanda gasped and touched his cheek. There was a clatter as the Mason jar full of fruit hit the ground. "No, no, no. I wouldn't want that future if it didn't include you," she amended.

He met her gaze. "I can't give you a family, Wanda."

Sadness spread across her face. "Hey, hey, don't be sad. I know you can't. I had you in mind when I said that. A future doesn't always include children. Besides, we can adopt."

"You really want to have a future with me?"

"I wouldn't have it any other way, you talking toaster."
