AN:Enjoy!
Before long, it was time for the newlyweds to depart, and all the remaining guests gathered to wave them off as they climbed into the car labelled 'JUST MARRIED' and headed away for their Honeymoon. Very few people knew where Tony and Pepper were actually going, and the few who did were under very strict instructions not to contact him unless it was a very, very big emergency.
"Like.." Tony paused for a moment, then pointed at Carol. "Like Fury finally calling her. That kind of emergency."
"I think we're calling that a 'Code Marvel'" Carol smirked.
"Code Marvel.." Tony mused. "I kinda like that. Okay. We get a Code Marvel situation, then, and only then, do you think about interrupting my Honeymoon. Got it?"
Everyone happily agreed. Tony got in the car beside Pepper, and the crowd waved and cheered as they drove away.
Wanda, who had unexpectedly become the keeper of a wonderful little secret, found herself wondering how far along Pepper was. Would she be showing yet when they returned, or was it early enough that they could try to pass it off as a Honeymoon baby. Either way, it would be nice to have another little baby among the Avengers sometime soon. Gently bouncing Billy in her arms, she leaned to whisper in her son's ear.
"You and your brother could have a new prieten mic soon, Una pretioasa."
Billy giggled, clapping his little hands, and Vision, holding Tommy, turned to look at them both.
"Did you say something, Wanda?"
"No" Wanda replied, with what she hoped was her best innocent smile.
It would have worked, for most people, but Vision knew Wanda well enough to know when she was hiding cheekiness behind her supposedly innocent smiles. However, he also trusted her enough to understand that if she wasn't telling him something, there was probably a good reason. So, he simply shrugged.
"Alright then."
A short while after Tony and Pepper's departure, everyone who currently lived or were staying at the Avengers Compound headed home. Sam, in celebration of having almost everyone under one roof again, at least for tonight, declared that they should have a Movie Night, for old time's sake. More often than not, these Movie Nights had been used to catch up Steve, Vision, sometimes Wanda, and now Bucky, on important films they may have missed.
Sam sifted through all their options, with most of the group looking over his shoulder.
"What the hell is Shrek?" Carol asked, prompting almost everyone, even Steve, to turn to her with shocked expressions. "Uh.. what? Did I say something wrong?"
"Where the hell do we keep finding these people?" Sam shook his head in disbelief.
"Um.. I don't know what Shrek is either.." said Bucky.
"Of course you don't" Sam rolled his eyes. Bucky glared at him, raising a fist.
"I know it" Steve cut in before the situation could escalate, "But I'm pretty sure I've only seen the first one."
"Oh, we've got to fix that.." said Sam. "It's settled, we're having a Shrek marathon!"
As Sam began to set everything up, and Nat and Clint headed into the Kitchen to get some snacks, Wanda and Vision slipped away to give the twins their bottles and try to get them down to sleep. It had been a very long, exciting day for them, and both Tommy and Billy were beginning to show signs of fatigue induced crankiness.
"Well" said Vision, a relieved smile on his face as he fed Tommy his bottle, "At least we managed to get the boys through Today without any 'Super Baby' incidents.."
"Uh.. aproape niciunul" Wanda replied, trying not to smirk as she finished off feeding Billy.
"Almost none?" Vision's smile fell away. "What do you mean?"
"Billy may have dumped a piece of Wedding cake on Christine Everheart's head."
"What?!" Vision yelped. "How?! When?"
"Just after I caught the bouquet" said Wanda, wiping her younger son's mouth. "Don't worry, I'm pretty sure no-one saw him do it. Everheart thought it was me."
"You.." Vision stared at Wanda for a moment, surprised by her level of calm. "You don't seem to be very worried about this."
"I'm not, really. I know I probably should be. But mostly, I feel proud of him" Wanda smiled softly, cuddling Billy closer and pressing a kiss into his wonderfully soft dark hair, her smile widening when he emitted a happy, sleepy sound.
"Proud?" Vision was rather confused now, and more than a little concerned. Tommy squirmed slightly, his Father now clutching him almost too tightly. "But what if.."
"Calm down, Vizh" Wanda said quickly, cutting her lover off before he could launch into panicked rambling. "Everything you're about to say, I know. I know we have to teach the boys when not to use their powers. But we also need to teach them when it is alright to use them. The day might come when they need to protect themselves, or someone else. If they're using their powers to protect someone they love, we have to let them know that that's okay. Billy was protecting me Today. So yes, I am proud of him."
Vision's expression immediately softened, his too-tight grip on Tommy loosening to a more comfortable level.
"You're right."
"Of course I'm right."
"You always are" Vision chuckled and sat beside Wanda, shifting Tommy to one arm so he could reach out and stroke Billy's cheek. "Did you protect your Mama from the mean old reporter, Billy?" Billy cooed happily, then yawned, almost asleep. "Good boy. Daddy is very proud of you."
"Mama and Daddy are both proud of you" Wanda stood to lay Billy in his crib. Vise placute, Una Pretioasa."
Soon after, Tommy appeared to drift off as well, and Vision gently laid him down.
"Sleep well, my dear little boy."
Vision curled his arm around Wanda's waist, and they stood there for awhile, watching their sweet baby boys sleep. The first bars of 'All-Star' reached their ears.
"We'll miss the start of the movie.." Wanda rested her head on his shoulder.
"I've seen this one before.." Vision replied. "I just want to watch over them for a few more minutes."
"Okay. A few more minutes."
