Billy and Tommy had listened as intently as their 6 year old minds would allow as Wanda explained about the past.
"So I lived in Sokovia with my brother Pietro"
Her voice heightened in pitch as she spoke his name, she cleared her throat, pushing back the emotions as she continued
"We did.. something.. and we gained powers, Pietro was like you Tommy - Very fast and Billy.. well you share my gifts"
She smiled to her children who nodded in understanding.
"So how did you meet daddy, mom?"
Tommy asked, eager to learn of his parents meeting and their adventures before they had the boys.
Wanda smiled sadly and began telling them of Ultron, the cradle and Tony Stark.
Vision had been listening to Wanda fondly, as he remembered the moment that he shot from Helen Cho's cradle, how Wanda was the first person that met his gaze. He found her intriguingly beautiful the second that he had seen her.
"Vision, I think it might be time to try and remove the stone"
Shuri spoke up, causing the room to fall silent.
Wanda strode to Visions side, but turned asking the children to remain in their seats, they complied.
"Are you sure this will work?"
Wanda asked cautiously, she could tell from Shuris voice that she was confident, but the fear of losing Vision, or of something going terribly wrong was circling through her mind.
Bruce layed a hand on Wandas shoulder to reassure her but she turned to him, her gaze full of hatred and betrayal, she spoke through his mind, causing him to glance down in defeat.
Why didn't you tell me about Visions body?!
Wanda.. I.. I'm sorry...
Couldn't you have atleast fought for him?! What? Ross says jump and you avengers say how high?!
She tore her gaze away from him, intaking a breath to steady herself as she looked back to Shuri.
"It will work, I have been running tests to make sure of it and the success rate is 100% I assure you"
Shuris gaze was steady as it met Wandas, the Wakandan princess showed no fear to the evident display of Wandas chaos that was glazed over her green eyes.
Wanda nodded her head and held Visions hand as she spoke
"I will be right here, you will be fine and we will all be ok"
It was as if she were speaking a spell, Vision nodded, he could sense the truth in her words.
"We will all be ok"
He agreed and she smiled sadly, leaning her head against his shoulder as Shuri began adjusting the metal mechanisms to help remove the fractured stone from Visions temple.
Bruce had decided to stand near the children, to ensure that he could shield them from any explosion, but to his surprise, Wanda had already casted out a shield that surrounded them, including him, Shuri also had a scarlet power encasing her body as the stone slowly slid out of the vibranium that had held it in place.
Vision gasped as he felt a presence disappear from within him.
Wanda instantly placed her hands over his face, examining him for any pain or injury as she spoke
"Viszh? are you ok?"
Vision slowly nodded, he was fine. He felt different.. but he was himself he thought.
He slowly sat up, Wanda draped her arms over his shoulders as if to steady him and her as she felt her knees buckle slightly from the relief.
Billy and Tommy ran over to their parents and jumped on the table to Visions lap, asking their father how it felt as their curious minds tried to comprehend the stone and the link it had to their father.
Vision smiled and embraced the boys as he spoke, reassuring them and Wanda that he was indeed ok, but obviously there was a sadness in having the stone removed, he had that stone for so many years that it had indeed become a part of him and he was reluctant to part with it.
"Can you fix it?"
He turned to Wanda, hope glistening his mind
Wanda frowned as she looked at Vision and then the stone.
The stone that had caused so much grief, so much suffering.
If Ultron hadn't had put that stone on the synthezoids body then Thanos would have never killed him, they would have never needed to part, they would have had all the time in the World and Wanda wouldn't feel an overwhelming amount of guilt over killing her lover, she hadn't confessed her love for him, and it had become too late.
She looked back to Vision and then to her children.
Although the stone had caused so much grief, so much destruction to her emotions, it was still thanks to the stone that Vision had returned to her, thanks to the stone that she was able to have children with Vision, and her children were able to survive outside the pocket dimension that she had created in Westview, and could that possibly be thanks to the stone?
"I'll try"
She answered reluctantly
Visions smile was bright at her reply and he instantly pulled her into an embrace, Tommy and Billy joining.
"Vision, I need to apologise to you"
The voice of Bruce Banner had pulled the family from their moment and Vision nodded, he could sense Wandas apprehension over Banner but he gave her a reassuring smile and stood, leaving to speak with the Hulk/Banner hybrid.
"What is the problem Dr Banner?"
Vision asked, his voice polite as it always was.
Bruce grimaced as he noted how normal Vision was, even without the stone in his head, Vision was still him, he was still kind, innocent and good.
"When the snap happened.. when Thanos happened"
Bruce sat down on an overly large chair and Vision followed, his attention was stuck to Bruce as he recalled the events of Thanos and his untimely death.
"Shuri had been snapped away.. and we didn't know how to bring you back without the stone.. "
Bruce was now beginning to grow quieter, as though he were afraid of his own voice.
Vision nodded his understanding, it would have been difficult without the mind stone and Shuri was indeed his only hope so it made perfect sense that he had remained broken.
"General Ross wanted us to get rid of your body"
Visions head had perked up from the words
"I'm sorry? what does that mean?"
.
Bruce gazed down to his hands as he clarified
"He wanted you destroyed.. or dismantled.."
Visions eyes widened as it dawned on him that his friends his family had actually gone through with what Ross had asked, he had been destroyed and now Wandas pocket dimension was looking tantalisingly tempting as fear crept into his mind, he stood, shaking his head as he spoke in disbelief.
"But.. you were my friends.. my.. my family.. why would you..?"
He turned and left, phasing through the wall and escaping for the wilderness.
Bruce held his head in his hands.
Wanda walked into the room, she had left Tommy and Billy with Shuri as she wanted to speak with Bruce.
She watched as Vision left, but chose not to follow, he needed time to think and time to accept. Most of the people that had known of his dismemberment were now dead and it appeared that Banner had taken the brunt of the guilt.
She needed to ask how they could allow such a thing to happen.
