AN: Enjoy!
There were many things that Wanda Maximoff loved about Vision.
She loved the innocence that he had somehow managed to cling to despite everything he had been through.
She loved his kind heart, always making sure there were enough extra blankets in the spare room in case Nat came to stay on a colder night.
She loved the hearty belly laugh that everyone said he had somehow inherited from Thor.
She loved the way his cheeks turned a deeper shade of red when he was embarrassed, or, she smirked to herself, aroused.
She loved how Vision still tried to rescue any insects that got inside the house rather than immediately trying to kill them.
Wanda loved the way Vision looked at her like she was the most wonderful thing in the universe. How he would always, always tell her that she was beautiful. Even, or perhaps especially, at times when Wanda didn't think that she was.
She loved how awed he still was by Tommy and Billy, the way his face lit up with joy if they smiled at him, or he made them laugh.
Wanda loved how adorably protective he was of her and the twins.. Sometimes, just a little bit overly protective. So when Vision informed her that Natasha, her new friend Carol, and Hope Van Dyne were going to join them and the twins on their trip to the City to buy Wanda a dress for Tony's Wedding, she saw right through him.
However, she didn't really mind. For Wanda, having friends- her own friends, not like the many people who were nice to her just because Pietro asked them- was still a relatively new sensation. It was nice to spend time with them. Nat had spoken to her about Carol on a phone call a few days prior. Carol was a little different, she'd been away for a while, but Nat thought she would like her, and thought she and Wanda might find something in common.
Wanda looked forward to meeting her.
The following Morning, Vision took on the task of feeding the twins while Wanda showered.
"Open up" Vision smiled, offering Billy a spoon of rice cereal. "Good boy."
"Ah!" Billy happily opened his mouth to receive the spoonful, and happily ate quite a few more spoonfuls after it.
On occasions when Wanda and Vision were not both available to feed the twins at the same time, whoever took feeding duty would usually feed Billy first, the calmer of the two. Tommy, being a bit more strong-willed than his younger by twelve minutes (Wanda had teared up just a little when she realized the age gap) brother, took longer to feed, often resisting even when he was hungry.
"Open up, Tommy."
Tommy refused.
"Please?"
Nothing.
Vision thought for a moment.
"Here comes the airplane!"
Nope.
"Here comes the helicopter?" Vision tried.
Tommy's lips remained clamped shut.
"Here comes.. hmm.. Iron Man?"
Tommy seemed to consider for a moment, then the little mouth opened for the spoon. Vision, relieved, began to feed him.
"Oh, doamne" Wanda's voice was heard, and Vision looked over his shoulder to see her striding across the room in just her towel, damp hair swept back over her shoulders, and became a little distracted. "Tony will like that entirely too much.. We probably shouldn't tell him."
Vision blinked to clear his mind.
"Yes, probably best.." A familiar redness crept into his cheeks.
Wanda smirked and pretended she didn't notice, pressing a kiss to the top of his head.
"Are you okay to finish getting the boys ready while I get dressed?"
"Oh, I'm sure we'll manage" Vision smiled.
"Good" Wanda paused to kiss Billy's cheek, then Tommy's, lightly ruffling the older twin's hair. "Be good for Daddy, baiat baiat."
It seemed that Today, Tommy had decided to take his Mother's words to heart, and didn't squirm quite so much as usual while his Father changed and dressed him. Vision was grateful for the smiles he got from both boys when they were done.
Sometimes, Vision still couldn't believe that he had helped to create two such perfect little people, but to look at Tommy and Billy, there was no doubt that he was a part of them. While the twins had inherited Wanda's natural dark hair and soft green eyes, the rest of their features were Vision in miniature. They had his nose, his smile.. Wanda had been delighted to discover this, because she loved Vision's smile.
When Wanda was ready, Vision strapped the twins into the car- perfect for families, another of Tony's extravagant gifts- triple checked that the buckles were secure, then got in himself, starting the car for the drive to the city. Wanda, sitting in the passenger seat, gazed at him for a long while as they traveled along the road..
"What is it?" Vision asked eventually. "Do I have rice cereal on my face? Tommy did get a hold of the spoon after you left to get dressed.."
"No" Wanda smiled softly. "I'm just.. ma simt norocos."
"Well" Vision smiled back, "That is always good.."
They met Natasha, Hope, and Carol at a coffee shop a few streets away from the dress store they were going to. Nat, ever the doting Godmother, rushed over to help Vision get the twins out of the car, leaving Nat to greet Hope and introduce herself to Carol.
"Hello" Wanda extended her hand, "You must be Carol. I'm.."
"Wanda Maximoff, the Scarlet Witch" Carol stood, a serious look on her face, taking Wanda's hand. "You're the reason why I traveled across multiple galaxies for nothing."
"What?" Wanda was confused.
"Thanos. Fury called me back to handle the guy, but you beat me to him.."
"Oh.."
The moment suddenly grew quite tense. Gold energy crackled around Carol's hand, and Wanda's tendrils of scarlet emerged to meet it. Whether a challenge, or the power of two Infinity Stones recognizing each other, no one was sure.
"Oh boy.." Hope, very confused, took a few steps back from the other two women.
Vision, watching the scene unfold, nearly jumped.
"Wha.. what are they doing? They need to stop before somebody.."
"Give them a second.." Nat held him back.
A playful smirk bloomed on Carol's face.
"That was nice work, Wanda"
"Thank you" Wanda smiled back, the tension broken. "But it wasn't all me."
"Still, pretty impressive."
Vision relaxed, and he and Nat strapped the twins into their pram, before heading over to them.
"Sorry about your wasted trip" said Wanda, scarlet energy receding.
"Don't worry about it" Carol shrugged, releasing Wanda's hand. "It was about time I came home for a bit anyway, and it's been fun. I've even been invited to a Wedding."
"I wouldn't be too smug about that, Danvers" Natasha smirked. "Tony invites anyone to his Wedding."
They all laughed, and easy as that, the seeds of a new friendship were sown.
