AN: Enjoy the chapter!
For a while, Wanda and Vision wandered the city in search of their fun. Along the way, a few more people stopped them for pictures. Eventually, the pair found themselves outside a Video Game Arcade.
Wanda excitedly pulled Vision inside, and paid for a few hours of playtime.
"There was only one of these places in Novi Grad. Pietro once saved up his allowance for nearly a year so we could spend a day there on our Birthday." She paused for a moment, sad. Her next Birthday, the first without Pietro, was not too far off.
"Well" Vision spoke, keen to keep Wanda from slipping too deep into her sadness, "It all looks, uh, fun. What should we play first?"
They bounced between the machines, playing both Arcade classics and a few newer games. The Arcade was relatively busy that day, with children and older customers milling around.
Wanda gasped when she saw a Dance Dance Revolution machine, in relatively good condition too.
"Wow. I haven't seen one of those in years. Pietro was really good at it. He had quick feet even before the experiments.."
"Let's have a go.." Vision was actually rather enjoying himself. Video games were all code, programming, timing. Things he had known well as J.A.R.V.I.S, and still knew now that he was something more.
"Hang on a second, Vizh." Wanda caught his arm. "This game is hard.. really hard. And we're Avengers. We don't want to embarrass ourselves in the middle of an arcade full of people.. Maybe we should just gather up our tickets and go pick a prize. We'll find something else to do.
"Hmm.. Embarrassment is part of being human, is it not?"
"Well.. yes.."
"And the purpose of our excursion Today was to show that I can be more Human?"
"Yes" Wanda nodded, though she didn't entirely like where the conversation was going.
"Then this game sounds perfect!" Vision hopped up and prepared to start the game, wearing a surprisingly cheeky grin that Wanda had a horrible suspicion she had taught him.
Wanda sighed, stepping onto the Player 2 game pad. She certainly wasn't going to let her friend get embarrassed all by himself.
As it turned out, Wanda needn't have worried.
Once Vision got into the rhythm, he was very good at the game.
Wanda, too, was better than she remembered. If she had to channel a tiny bit of her power to her feet to be that good, well, who had to know?
They were even good enough to draw a small crowd. Of course, said small crowd grew considerably larger once people realised that it was two of the new Avengers playing. Some observers had even whipped out their phones to record the event. Once their game ended, the pair were treated to a cheer from their audience.
Wanda, suddenly feeling very self conscious, seized Vision's hand, gathered their shopping bags and the tickets pouring from the machine, then rushed away from the game.
"Is something wrong, Wanda?"
"Just.. not used to so much attention, that's all." She and Pietro had spent much of their late teens avoiding attention, lest they be dragged back in to the system. It was only after reaching legal adulthood that their activism began. She lead Vision over to the prize counter, letting the clerk count up their tickets. "Pick something out Vizh, most of the tickets are yours."
Vision picked out a stuffed toy replica of Mjolnir. They made one last stop, at a photo booth near the Arcade doors.
"You take a few pictures, make some funny faces.. It gives you a strip of photos, as a little memento of your day." Wanda explained. "I have one of Pietro and I somewhere."
Vision happily let Wanda lead him into the booth, definitely wanting a memento of the day.
