AN: Enjoy!


Slightly nervous, but comforted by Wanda's presence, Vision stepped inside the cabin.

"Take a seat, Baia.." Pietro began, before Wanda glared at her brother. "I mean.. Vision. Take a seat, Vision."

"Alright.." Vision did as he was told.

"Vision is.. Un nume ciudat" said Pietro. "A weird name. Why did you choose it? How?"

"Pietro" Wanda scolded, sitting beside Vision and taking his hand. "You agreed to talk to Vision and start getting to know him a bit. This isn't an interrogation."

"I'm just curious about why he'd choose such a strange.."

"I don't care how curious you are, you don't need to be a pula totala about it.."

"It's okay, really" Vision interrupted the bickering siblings. "I understand that my name would seem like an odd choice to most people. As to why I chose it, I don't really remember, except that I felt like it fit. And the how, well.." He hesitated.

"Go on.." Pietro prompted, rather impatient. Wanda glared at him again.

"It was Tony's idea, really" Vision explained. "A new name of my own choosing would mean a new start.. I could forget where I had come from, and focus on where I was going.."

"Why would you want to forget where you had come from?" Pietro prodded.

"Pietro.." Wanda warned. They couldn't really judge, being runaways themselves.

"Our situation is a little different, Sister.. We were not running from family. Shouldn't a person want to stay connected to their roots?"

By now, Vision was starting to become a little annoyed himself.

"I'm sure that's easy to say" He replied, "When your 'roots' are not spending half your formative years as somebody's whipping boy.."

"Oh.." Pietro deflated.

"Come on, Vizh.." Wanda stood, tugging at his hand. "You don't have to deal with this rahat. I thought my brother could pull his head in long enough to actually listen and give you a chance, but.."

"Hey wait.." Pietro tried to stop them leaving. "Astepta, Imi pare rau.."

"A little louder, Pietro" Wanda smirked, her eyes twinkling with the realisation of scoring a victory over her sibling. "And in English, please, so Vision can understand."

"Can't you just tell him what I said?" Pietro huffed.

"No. That would defeat the purpose of having you apologise."

"You really don't.." Vision tried, not wanting to cause any undue trouble between the twins.

"Fine.. I'm sorry. I might have been a bit.. Unfair to you" Pietro finally admitted.

"I.. thank you.." Vision managed a small smile.

"It seems like.. You have been through a few of the same situations that Wanda and I have.. And you seem to make my sister happy. So.. if you promise to be good to her, I suppose it's alright if you two spend time together.."

"We didn't need your permission, brother" Wanda told him, "But.. thank you."

"I would never do anything to hurt Wanda" said Vision seriously. "You have my word on that."

"So.. we have an understanding?" Pietro offered Vision his hand.

"We do" Vision took it, giving it a firm shake. As Vision had approached adulthood, Steve had made sure he learned the importance of a good firm handshake.

"Now that we've sorted that out" Wanda grinned, tugging at Vision's free hand and dragging him out of the cabin, "I think I'd like to go visit Nebula. See you, Pietro!"

"Don't be back too late!" Pietro warned, suddenly a little unsure of his decision.

"I won't.. La revedere!"


"Wanda.." Vision frowned as she dragged him off, "I know that went reasonably well, but I don't think we should be pushing our luck with your brother so soon.."

"Vizh, there's nothing to push" Wanda chuckled. "I never needed Pietro's approval, it just makes things a little easier."

"Well, that is true.." Vision mused, as they headed into his carriage.

"It is" Wanda grinned as Nebula purred, reaching through the bars of the cage to scratch the lioness behind the ears. "Hi, Nebby."

Vision couldn't help but smile.

"She really does like you."

"I like her too.." Wanda smiled at him, a rather cheeky smile. "But do you know who I like the most, Vizh? In the whole circus?"

"Uh.." Wanda's cheeky smile made Vision's heart flutter, his mind inconveniently blank. "Morgan? She is adorable, everyone loves her.."

"True, and you are close" Wanda chuckled, taking a few steps closer. "But actually, Vision, my favourite person in the circus has always been you.."

"Me?" Vision almost squeaked.

"Mmhm.." She leaned up and kissed him, wrapping her arms around his neck.

This was all still very new to Vision, and he flailed about for a moment, not quite sure where to put his hands, but eventually settled on her waist, his eyes drifting shut as he relaxed into the kiss. The kiss went on for a little longer than some of their previous kisses, was a little bit deeper.

When they finally broke for air, Vision was left happily dazed for a moment, before he regained his senses and managed to speak, though maybe not quite as eloquently as he would have liked.

"So.. um.. If.. uh.. Well.."

"Yes?" Wanda asked, blushing a little after their kiss.

"If your brother does not mind us spending time together anymore.. Then we can spend time together more often?"

"We can."

"And we can.. Uh.." He pecked Wanda's lips, "Do this more often?"

"Yes.." Wanda nodded, her blush deepening. "Yes, we can.. And maybe.."

"Yes?"

"More.. later.. Maybe.. When we're.. If we're ready.." Wanda rambled a little. "I mean.. I've never gone further than this before, so.."

"Neither have I" Vision cut off her adorable ramble, realising that she was, in some areas, as nervous as he was, and felt another little piece of his heart fly away to be owned by her. "There's no need to rush any of that."

"Good to know" Wanda smiled softly, her green eyes sparkling, leaning up to kiss him again. "For now, though, I could get very used to this.."

Vision grinned, leaning in to meet her.

"So could I.."
