Wanda and Vision watched as Dr Strange, Wong and Carol Danvers entered their kitchen through the golden portal.
"Hello Miss Maximoff. Vision, I believe we have never had the chance to meet, I am Doctor Stephen Strange, this is my associate Wong.."
he gestured to Wong who was currently stealing some toast.
Strange sighed and then gestured to Carol Danvers
"This is Carol Danvers"
Vision stood and held his hand out to greet the sorcerer as he spoke
"It is a pleasure to meet you, I have heard much of your time in space with.. Mr Stark.."
Visions voice trailed off with a saddened emotion.
Wanda stepped forward, eyeing the assembly in her dining room
"So... what's happened? it hasn't even been a month since hes awoken and already we are being called in?"
Strange stood back, eyeing the girl up and down and sighing, he didnt like it much either, he had hoped that he would be able to catch Loki without a fuss but without the eye of agamotto to help him, it was beginning to bear impossible and so he needed the powers of the Scarlet Witch, he knew that Vision would also join, as being separated from Wanda would not bode well.
He sighed again before he spoke.
"I just need you, I need your powers to help us reprimand Loki and send him back to his time and break the branch in time that he had caused.."
He looked to Vision, noting the frown and sighed once more, he just couldnt catch a break.
"I doubt that you will be willing to wait here until she returns..?"
Vision shook his head gently, stating a simple "I'm afraid not"
So Doctor Strange nodded and then began to explain their predicament in catching Loki.
The God of Mischief was easy to locate it appeared, but he would quickly escape, almost as if he had known they were coming and would always leave subtle clues as to where they could find him next.
"If he has the tesseract, then that would mean that he has the power to control space" Vision thought aloud and Wanda nodded.
"So an infinity stone that he can use to hop through universes and I suppose if he wanted..."
Wanda's voice trailed.
"Then he could use it to find the other infinity stones and cause even more chaos"
Dr Strange finished the sentence for her.
Vision took Wanda's hand and they both nodded to the party infront of them.
"Ok, we are in"
Strange nodded and with a swirling motion of his hand he opened another portal.
Wanda quickly turned and used her power to clear away dishes and turn off the hob before entering the portal after Dr Strange and co, Vision following close behind her.
They exited the portal and found themselves in a large mansion, old artefacts adorning shelves, Vision had began to look like a synthezoid in a candyshop as the excitement in his mechanical irises was very much evident as he glanced around the old artefacts.
Strange stated a simple
"Do not touch"
To the uncharacteristically animated synthezoid that was visibly bouncing on the heels of his vibranium enthused feet.
Vision stopped, realising just how silly he must appear to Wanda and nodded.
Wanda chuckled as she watched Vision, and found herself wanting to sneak one of the artefacts out for her love to examine.
Strange glanced to Wanda, sighing as he noted the mischief in her eyes.
He really cant catch a break.
Carol spoke up, causing Vision and Wanda to halt their jokes on Doctor Strange.
"I understand that you two are still in a 'honeymoon phase' but this is serious, we need to track Loki and you need to use your powers to control him"
Wanda frowned at the words Carol had chosen, she didnt know the woman all too well and understood that there was a need for concern but her tone was causing Wanda to feel like maybe she would rather head back home and ignore the world calling for help for once.
Vision noting the change in Wanda's emotions stepped forward and spoke sternly, the frown evident on his face as he looked to the other woman.
"I believe you forget just how much the World already owes Wanda, Miss Danvers, if the memory that Wanda has shared with me of the final battle bodes true then not even you came as close to stopping Thanos as Wanda did, infact most of the dark order fell thanks to the bombs that fell due to Wanda's power, her causing Thanos to fear was what shifted the tide in that battle, so dont think of disrespecting her again as even I would not be able to stop her if she chose to leave you to do your mission without her help"
Vision turned to Dr Strange, his expression remained stern as he spoke again.
"Shes lost all her family, I am only here because she brought me back. She is my only family and I will not allow her to be used or exploited and most certainly will not allow her to become harmed, so if you can ensure these things are sustained then I will help you alongside Wanda"
Wanda was in awe as she watched Visions demeanor, how he stood up for her and spoke sternly to everyone else was rather sexy she mused to herself, she reached a hand out and gently laced her fingers through his, her smile was wide as she looked at him.
"Thank you Viszh, ofcourse I will still help them with you by my side"
Vision grinned back at her and nodded.
Strange had looked flabbergasted along with Danvers who decided to turn on her heel and leave for another room, stating
"I need a drink"
Wanda watched her leave and looked to Dr Strange.
"So how do we go about finding Loki again?"
Strange sighed, rubbing his temple as he began to think.
"I'm not entirely sure, he usually leaves clues for us.."
Wanda frowned and looked back to Vision and then to the stone atop his head, a thought drifting in her mind.
"Viszh.. do you think that maybe you could help locate him?"
Both Vision, Wong and Dr Strange looked confused by Wanda's question as they all chimed in disbelief.
"Huh?"
Wanda lifted her hand to hover over the false mind stone, her scarlet tendrils drifting out to caress it.
"This stone.. it might have some.. different abilities to the old one"
Vision nodded, it would make sense since it wasnt an infinity stone and he knew that it craved power, it seemed to relish in energy as he noted the content feeling of the stone as Wanda's powers caressed it.
"So it might be able to seek out the tesseract? its hunger for power being the driving force?"
Visions voice was cautious, he didnt understand this stone and didnt like the idea of using something that craved to suck in power.
Wanda layed a hand to his cheek, her smile was soft as she spoke
"I will protect you Vision, and this stone.. maybe I can use my powers to focus the stone on the tesseract.."
her thoughts trailed
Dr Strange stepped forward and spoke in agreement.
"If Miss Maximoff can focus the stones energy signature to locate the tesseract, then it might be worth trying, it might even give us a head start on Loki"
Wanda nodded and Vision reluctantly agreed.
A/N- Another small chapter tonight.
