A/N: I didn't feel quite right with the way I ended things in the last chapter, so here is chapter two.
" Hello, Wanda."
The two stared at each other for a moment trying to figure out what to say in the situation. Natasha only then processed what Wanda had said.
" Wait what? Vision?"
The staring was broken as Vision looked Natasha and gave her a smile.
" Hello Miss Romanoff. I trust that you are well."
" Yes, I'm fine but what are you doing here?"
" I uh well I'm here... perhaps this would be better discussed in private."
Vision made a gesture to the fact that they were in the middle of the street. Natasha nodded and started to think of places to go and talk.
" We could go back to the apartment."
Natasha turned and looked at Wanda like she was crazy.
" Wanda, he could be here to get information for Tony about our whereabouts. Do you really think that it is a good idea to take him to the place where we are staying?"
" But he isn't here to get information for Stark. Are you, Vizh?"
" Mr. Stark isn't even aware that I have left the tower as he is spending several weeks in Florida with Miss Potts."
" See, now are we going or not?"
Wanda didn't even wait for an answer as she began to walk quickly towards the apartment. Natasha gave a huff before turning to Vision and giving him a pointed stare.
" Just because she trusts you doesn't mean I do or any of the others will."
" That is understandable."
They begin walking after Wanda and quickly catch up to her as she enters the apartment complex. They were lucky that their landlord was out tonight with his family otherwise the would have been in for a lot of questions. They walk up the stairs to the second floor where their apartment resides.
Once in the apartment, there is an awkward silence between the three as Vision looks around the common room. Finally, Natasha clears her throat and starts to walk towards the kitchen.
" Well, I have first shift tonight so I'm going to make some coffee. You want anything, Wanda?"
" Some tea would be nice."
" Sure, and uh Vision, would you like anything?"
" If it's not to much trouble, a cup of tea sounds appealing."
Natasha nods and walks into the kitchen, leaving the two alone. The awkward silence was back as Wanda walks to the couch, sitting down on one side while Vision sits on the other. They both just sit there trying to figure out something to say.
" So... you uh drink tea? I thought that you didn't need to eat anything."
" Ah, yes well while that's true I have acquired a certain taste for things."
" Tastes?"
" Well you see, I have been... evolving lately and now have taste buds along with other... things {1} that I didn't have before."
" Does that include why you look so..."
" Human. That is more of something I have control over. It's more of a disguise that I can turn on and off that I have been working on. Figured if I was going to become more human that I should look the part."
" Interesting."
The silence came back again as the conversation ended. They both racked their brains about something to talk about.
" You uh you changed your hair."
" Yes, it was Nat's idea as we really couldn't do anything about my face or voice."
" It looks nice."
" Thank you."
This was easily the most awkward conversation that they had ever had, including when they first met. They both knew what needed to be said but were to afraid to say anything.
" I'm sorry."
" Oh uh, you go first."
" No you go first."
They both laugh nervously as some of the tension is relieved.
" You go first, Vizh."
" Oh, okay well... I'm sorry, Wanda, for everything. For not protecting you when I should have, for letting them take you to that awful place. If I had known what they would do to you then I wouldn't have let them even go near you. I'm sorry for not being the one to rescue you. And more than anything, I'm sorry for betraying your trust. You trusted me even after all that has happened to you. You trusted me and I betrayed you. I know that I don't deserve it, but I'm begging for your forgiveness, Wanda, please forgive me."
Wanda began to tear up at his words. Suddenly she threw her arms around Visions neck and hugged him as hard as she could with out choking him. Hesitantly, Vision rapped his arms around her waist and waited for her response.
" Oh Vizh, I'm sorry I've made you feel like this. You have nothing to be sorry for. I should be the one begging you for forgiveness. All you ever did was protect me and I took your kindness and burned it. You tried to keep me from getting involved in everything but I didn't listen, I hurt you, and look what I've become, a fugitive in more than a hundred countries. You were right and I'm sorry, I'm so so sorry."
" You were only doing what you felt was right. That doesn't make you anymore wrong than me or anyone else."
" I'm still so sorry."
" You don't have anything to be sorry about, but if it will make you feel better you are forgiven."
Wanda laughs into his neck as they continue to embrace each other in silence, but not the awkward silence from before. They were so caught up in the moment that they didn't notice the sound of the door being opened and closed or the sound of two people walking into the apartment.
" Nat, Wanda, we're back and... what's going on here?"
{ 1 } anyone who gets what I'm hinting at with 'things' immediately has my respect
A/N: I just love writing for Vision. His way of speaking is just different enough from the others that it makes writing it different. I also loved writing that awkward conversation. I feel like that is a real they would have. Anyway, as always, please leave a review to let me know what I can do to make this better yada yada you've heard this from every other author whose stories you have read.
