Wanda sat in her room and looked at her watch. 11:55. She got up off her mattress and sat next to it on the floor, on her knees. She turned on her flashlight since there were no windows or lights in her room or the rest of the bunker. She lifted the mattress up and pulled out a piece of paper and a pen out from under the mattress. There was rows and rows of lines, written across the paper. Strikes. Strikes for each day she was in the bunker. Each day she was denied her freedom. When am I ever going to get out of here? She thought. She sat and stared at the paper for a few minutes before she put it back under the mattress and stood up to go meet Vision. It was freezing as usual, so she grabbed her red shawl, wrapped it around her and started walking towards the door. She stopped and gasped suddenly, as a figure turned into the doorway. "Going somewhere?" The figure asked. Wanda shined her flashlight right in Natasha's eyes. "Ouch!" Nat said. "Nat! Jesus, you scared the hell out of me!" Wanda said, lowering the flashlight. "Where are you going?" Natasha asked as she walked into the room. "Uh I, I can't sleep. I was just going to get some water." "Ok. Forget I asked that. Why are you meeting up with Vision this late?" She asked. "Or should I say this early." She said, looking at her watch. Wanda looked at her watch. 12:06. She was late. "Nat I-." "Wanda. I know you two like each other. Well, have feelings for each other. It's obvious. Why are you meeting him this late?" She asked. "Well, we haven't been able to talk about- well we haven't been able to talk at all since I made up with Steve." "Talk about what?" Natasha asked quickly. "Um well-." Wanda began as Natasha gasped. "You guys kissed?!" Natasha said with a big smile. "Um wha- how did you know?" Wanda asked. "Again, it's obvious. I know you guys snuck out last week." "Why didn't you tell Steve?" Wanda asked. "Why would I? I trust that you can be careful. Remember I trained you too, way back when." Natasha said. Wanda smiled. "Those were the good old days." Wanda said. "Yeah they were." Natasha nodded. They both sat, looking at the floor, remembering those days. They were a team. A full team not a piece of it like they are now. They were happy and free. So many things have changed.
"So, how long have you known about Vision and I?" Wanda asked. "Long enough." Natasha said. There were always hints. Ever since Ultron. I knew he cared for you more that he did anyone else. Since we have been down here I have had my suspicions, but this morning you both confirmed my theory." "What? How did we do that?" Wanda asked. Natasha laughed. "You two staring into each other's eyes. You couldn't take your eyes off each other." She said. Wanda blushed. "So you are going to talk to him about your kiss?" Natasha asked. Wanda quickly looked down at her watch. 12:20. "I have to go." Wanda said. "I will see you tomorrow ok?" She told Natasha as she stood up and walked towards the door. "See you tomorrow. Good luck!" She said. Wanda nodded, grabbed her flashlight and walked out of the room.
She walked down the hall and turned the corner. She walked faster and faster, hoping that he didn't leave. She turned the corner into the common room and shined her flashlight on a figure sitting on the bench. He stood up as she slowly walked into the room. "Hello." Vision whispered. "Hi." She whispered back. "I'm sorry I'm late, but there is something you should know." She said as she walked over to him. "Nat knows about us." He turned and looked at the wall before turning back to her. "There is an us?" He asked hopefully. Wanda took her final step towards him and smiled as she looked at the ground. She looked back up at him. "I don't know." She said. "What do you think?" She asked, turning her head away from Vision. "I'm not sure of anything." He said. "Well, expect one thing." Wanda turned back to him. "I care about you." He said, also turning to her. "I care about you a lot more than I care about everyone else." He said, slowly taking her hands off of her lap and into his own. "I feel a constant need to make sure you are always alright. I only want you to be happy. I want to protect you. I want to spend time with you. I-." He paused. "I just want you." He said.
Wanda reached up and cupped his face. She looked into his eyes and moved her hand to the back of his neck, and pulled him down into a kiss. Vision cupped Wanda's face with both of his hands, pulling her lips into him even more. Wanda was so caught up in the kiss that she allowed the flashlight to slowly slide out of her hand and drop to the floor. Not moving their hands from the places they were on each other, they both pulled back and looked at the flashlight on the floor. "Oops." She said, still holding each other close. They both turned back up, looked at each other and smiled. In complete darkness, they both kissed again. They both slightly pulled back and Wanda barely brushed her lips against his. They didn't have to finish their conversation because they both knew that they didn't know what they were doing and they both knew that they needed time to figure it out. "If we are going to be able to figure out what... this is..." Wanda said, motioning between them. "Nobody can know." She said. "Nobody will know." He said. She faintly smiled at him. She knelt down and grabbed her flashlight and then they both walked back to their rooms. Wanda's room was on the way to Vision's. They stopped at her doorway and he took her hand, brought it up to his lips and kissed it. "Goodnight Wanda." He said. "Goodnight Vis." She said smiling. She walked into her room and slowly shut the door, as she smiled at Vision, who took a step back into the hall, also smiling.
