AN: Enjoy!
Wanda dreamed of Vision more throughout the night. Not the full nightmare again, but flickers of it, and other flashes, sounds and images that she couldn't quite piece together.
Mostly she saw the vibrant blue eyes she'd noticed when the synthezoid's eyelids flickered. The soft voice in her mind that she was so sure was his.
"I'm scared. It hurts. Where did you go?"
And though she knew nothing about him but his name, Wanda's heart broke.
Wanda was up early the next Morning, quickly getting herself ready. She waseager to get back to Stark Tower, back to Vision. For whatever reason, he seemed to have bonded to her, and she did not want to leave him alone for any longer than was strictly necessary.
Pietro, however, was much less of a morning person than his twin. While Wanda tried to be patient, she soon grew tired of waiting, and shook her brother awake.
"Wha.." Pietro mumbled, slowly sitting up. "Wanda, what are you.."
"It is time to get up, Pietro" said Wanda, pulling the covers off of the bed, then shoving a bowl of porridge into her brother's hands. "Eat, then get dressed, quickly. We have to go."
"Where?" Pietro blinked, confused and still a little sleepy, but started to eat anyway. Pietro Maximoff was not one to turn down food.
"Where do you think? Stark Tower. I promised.."
"You can't be serious" He groaned, now a little annoyed. "You woke me up to go see your se.."
"Don't finish that sentence, Pietro" Wanda interrupted, glaring her brother into silence. "You know he's not a you-know-what bot. He's not any type of robot. He's a synthezoid, which is completely different. And I know you think it's crazy, but I promised him that I would be back Tomorrow. I am someone who keeps my promises, and it is Tomorrow, so we are going back."
"I never promised anything.."
"I know. But are you willing to let me go alone?" Wanda smirked.
The streets of Sokovia were not always a safe place for someone on their own. While Wanda viewed herself as fully capable, she knew there was no way that her brother would be comfortable with letting her go off by herself."
"Oh.. fine then, we'll go" Pietro huffed. "Just let me finish my porridge.. You know, you're going to feel very stupid if this thing turns out to be some kind of murder machine or something.."
Pietro ate painfully slowly, and dragged his feet with getting dressed as well. Wanda knew he was doing this just to annoy her, but despite her eagerness to get going, she decided to be the bigger person, not letting his actions get to her.
When Wanda and Pietro eventually left their Home, neither one of them noticed that they were being watched, from a distance, by Ulysses Klaw. Wanda and Pietro had occasional dealings with Klaw, selling him scrap from their scavenges, but neither one of them liked him at all. As the leader of a supposed to be secret, but not really that secret, criminal enterprise, he was the one of the reasons Sokovia's streets were not safe.
"Erik, I need you to keep your eye on those Maximoff twins" Klaw ordered one of his henchman. "Rumour has it they might be hiding a big score from me.. If it is true, I need to find out what it is.."
"You got it, boss" Erik nodded.
Pietro had always been fast, much faster than Wanda, but on that day, she kept a few steps ahead of him for most of the walk to Stark Tower. It wasn't even because he was dragging his feet.. he was usually faster than her without even really trying.
When they reached their destination, Wanda knocked eagerly on the door. They heard familiar small steps running to answer it, but then the small steps stopped, and Pepper opened the door, holding a squirming Morgan.
"No extras for you Today, Missy.. hello Wanda, Pietro."
"Hello, .. Hello, Pipsqueak" Pietro greeted Pepper politely, and ruffled Morgan's hair, making the little girl giggle. "May my sister and I come in?"
"Of course" Pepper stepped aside to let them both by. "Bruce left early this Morning, but Tony's waiting for you in the lab. The two of them were up all night working on the little project you left them."
"Thank you, " Wanda smiled, hurrying past her, tickling Morgan's belly as she went. "See you later, Morgan!"
"Bye, Wanda!" Morgan waved after her.
"You're sister seems excited this morning" Pepper turned to Pietro, raising an eyebrow.
"Yes" Pietro sighed, reluctantly following Wanda. "She does.."
Wanda rushed into the lab, and her breath caught. Vision was still laid out on the work table, but now he was in one piece, although hooked up to quite a few machines that made him look as though he was in a Hospital, which Wanda supposed he was, in a way.
She felt a wave of relief from the synthezoid, and couldn't help smiling.
"Yes, I'm back. I promised I would be."
Pietro, walking a few steps behind Wanda, rolled his eyes.
"Hey, double trouble" Tony looked up from where he was checking the connections of the machines, grinning. "You two are just in time, I think we're ready to try and wake this guy up."
"You think it will work?" asked Wanda hopefully.
"Banner was pretty convinced. He's sorry he missed you, but he doesn't really handle people all that well.." Tony moved over to the machines that were attached to Vision. "Stay well back, their could be a bit of a surge.."
Wanda took a few steps backwards, and Pietro tried to push her behind him, but she refused.
Tony took a breath, then flipped a few switches. They all waited anxiously as electricity flowed from the machines into Vision's repaired body.
After a long, tense few moments, the Synthezoid sat bolt upright, his bright blue eyes wide and frightened. In a panic, He stood, pulling away from the machines, sending sparks showering everywhere as the cords disconnected. He stumbled about, disoriented, accidentally knocking a few inventions from other tables.
"It's destroying everything!" cried Pietro. "Shut it down!"
"Well.." Tony darked another shower of sparks, "I was thinking of redoing all those anyway.."
"It's clearly dangerous!" Pietro yelled.
"Stop shouting, Pietro!" Wanda pulled away from her brother's grasp, clutching her head as Vision's emotions washed over her. "You're scaring him!"
"Him?! Wanda, that thing is a monster.. Shit, where did it go?!"
Wanda felt a sudden wave of sorrow, and gave her brother a shove, angry with him.
"Pietro you are such an idiot!"
With Tony's help, Wanda searched the lab. Any damage that had been done was only minor. They eventually found him huddled in a corner, shaking. Wanda gestured at Tony to stay back, then crouched near the synthezoid.
"Hey.. it's okay, no-one's going to hurt you.."
The synthezoid slowly looked at her, sadness in his vibrant blue eyes.
"Am I a monster?"
"No" Wanda turned, just for a moment, to glare at Pietro. "You're not a monster. My brother is just an idiot."
"Oh.." Vision's brow crinkled. "Am I an idiot?"
"No" Wanda chuckled. "You've just been through a lot, I think. My name is Wanda. And I think, Maybe, yours is Vision."
"Yes" His eyes flickered in recognition. "My name is Vision."
"Well.." Wanda offered him her hand. "Hello, Vision."
He shyly took the hand Wanda offered.
"Hello, Wanda."
They both smiled.
