Since Wanda haters are morons, I wrote this to show how certain characters would actually react to what went down between Wanda and Vision during Civil War.

While this isn't going to bash Vision, it will be critical of Vision, so if you don't like that, I'm assuming you know how to use the back button.

Avengers Compound

Afternoon

"You did what?"

The exclamation came from James 'Rhodey' Rhodes as he stared at Vision. It was several weeks after the 'Clash of the Avengers' as the media was calling it. Tony was out with Pepper after Rhodey's rehab session for the day, so Vision had suggested a friendly game of chess. During the game, Rhodey had started asking Vision some questions. It hadn't escaped his noticed that certain parts of the Compound had been under repair when Tony had brought him back. Tony had been very evasive when Rhodey had asked about it. Which led him to Vision, and what Rhodey found out horrified and angered him.

"You kept Wanda locked up here?" Rhodey asked in disbelief.

"Mr. Stark felt it best to avoid another public incident," Vision said simply, as though that justified it.

"Wanda's a person, not a project. You can't lock her up here just because it's convenient," Rhodey said, starting to get angry. "Did she even agree to stay here?"

"She was not pleased when she realized I was keeping here her," Vision admitted.

As well she shouldn't, Rhodey thought. Given her time in Hydra, being lied to and manipulated until she became their weapon, Rhodey could hardly blame Wanda for being angry or what she did to escape, especially since she was helping Clint. At least Steve and Clint had known what Tony and Vision were doing to her was wrong.

"Do you even know what you did was wrong?" Rhodey asked, not really sure what Vision's answer would be.

"I see now that I overstepped," Vision said.

Rhodey waited but that was all Vision had to say. Vision knew what he did was wrong, but he didn't know why, Rhodey realized. He could hardly blame Vision; he was still basically an AI. He understood logic, mechanics, but not the concept of freedom, choice or human emotions.

Rhodey was silent for a moment, gathering his thoughts. He knew Tony was not someone you'd look to to teach someone like Vision about being human. And since the other Avengers were either gone or off world, it looked like it fell to him to do so.

"You can't force people to do things just because you want them to," Rhodey said carefully. "Vision, people have thoughts and feelings. It's like…it's like programing. Everyone has different thoughts and feelings, just like every robot or AI has different programing. But you can't force people to do what you want; you have to get them to trust you, to cooperate with you. You…like Wanda, right?"

"I…believe that what I feel for her would be what you would call 'liking' someone, yes," Vision said after a moment of thought.

"Well, if you try to force things on her, if you try to make decisions for her without considering what she may want, you'll never build something that lasts with her," Rhodey told him.

Vision frowned, deep in thought as he considered Rhodey's words.

"You have given me much to think about Colonel," Vision said after a few moments.

"Good, thinking is good," Rhodey said, hoping that he'd managed to help Vision. "So why don't we put this game on hold and you help me back to my room?"

Wanda is called abusive for sending Vision through several floors but honestly, when you look at the situation, Vision comes off looking controlling and abusive. And I'm not saying that Vision is, but the entire situation has some pretty disturbing parallels to an abusive and controlling boyfriend refusing to let the victimized girlfriend leave him.

Vision keeps Wanda in the Compound against her will, makes Wanda feel such guilt and fear that she stay (unknowingly or not is irrelevant), and then tries to stop Wanda from leaving, attacking Clint in the process until Wanda is all but forced to do what she did. Yet Wanda is the one they call abusive? I'd like to know what movie these people are watching, because I clearly saw a very different one.
