Wanda had suddenly become engulffed in work and PA prep for Pietro thanks to the success of the charity ball, he had photo shoots to attend, meetings, speeches and press conferences.

Wanda barely had time for the toilet, let alone worry about her personal and mental health.

Pietro was number 1 in her life once again and the night that she had spent getting to know Peter Colt - Vision was all but a dream to her now.

Pietro was currently awaiting a meeting with other pro tennis players, in a hotel that was holding the venue.

Wanda was wearing a rather simple black suit, her hair was in a bun and the only makeup she wore was a faint line of black eyeliner. Natasha Romanoff had also joined them, her and Pietro had seemed to hit it off and were officially dating one another.

Natasha left Pietros side and walked over to Wanda

"Hey, you know you look more like a witch than the sister of a pro tennis player?"

Wanda rolled her eyes at the comment and replied a simple

"Id rather be a witch with dignity than someone who waltzes around, stealing hearts of men and chewing them up, your like a black widow"Natasha scoffed at the younger twins comment and smirked as she mused allowed

"I like that name.. I think that I just might keep it, thanks witch"

Natasha turned on her heel and waltzed back to Pietro.

Wanda sighed, a loud, tired sigh.

"Dont worry about her, shes always been a bitch"

The voice of a blonde haired woman pulled Wanda from her thoughts, she glanced over, forcing a polite smile but faltered when she saw who it was, her voice became a whisper as she spoke in shock

"Your Lizzie Bradbury, right?"

Lizzie beamed at the girl who recognized her "Waw you know me? I guess I still have some pull in the UK" she chuckled

Wanda faked a smile as she nodded and asked

"What brings you back?"

Lizzie quirked at the question and glanced her eyes to the floor as she replied, she too forcing a smile.

"I came to hopefully build bridges"

Wanda nodded, her smile fell, as the realisation of who that person that needed the bridge might be.

Lizzie, unaware of Wanda's demeanor continued to speak

"So your Maximoffs sister, right? I heard you went to the charity benefit.."

she was clearly hesitating to finish the sentence, just watching her exhausted Wanda as she waited to be asked the question, the question that would probably lead Lizzie back to Vision and thus she would no longer be allowed to play pretend with him.

"Peter Colt was with us that night"

Wanda stated it for her, to save her heart, she built up the wall, ready for the ache that she would not allow to falter.

Lizzie smiled, it was a rather sad smile, a smile of someone that clearly held some regrets.

"Do you.. erm.. does your.. well.. I mean.. could I get his..""His number is on google" Wanda answered, her voice was cold and her stare was ghostly, she was nothing but stone in that moment, and before Lizzie could reply anything else, Wanda turned and left, heading to Pietro and Natasha.

Lizzie was dazed for a second but quickly shook it off, leaving with her phone in hand, she was going to ring Peter.

Natasha noted Wanda's demeanor, sensing the ache inside the younger Maximoffs mind, she turned to Pietro stating

"I'm borrowing your sister"

He nodded and Natasha wrapped her arms around the girl, leading her away from the people in the venue.

Wanda sat on the floor in the ladies room, her eyes glistening from tears that she dare not shed, fear that if they did then she would have no other choice but to face the ache, face the thought that she would more than likely be unable to see Vision again.

Natasha sat next to her, placed a hand ontop of Wanda's knee and sighed as she spoke

"Phone him before she does"

Wanda stared at the redhead, a little lost by what she had said, causing Natasha to smile softly at her, she reached a hand out and pushed away the tears that dared to spill as she spoke again.

"You like him and.. I know Lizzie.. she isn't good for him, if anyone deserves happiness then it's that man.. and since I do like your brother, and since you are twins then I guess I would like to see you happy too"

Wanda was shocked, Natasha Romanoff was actually being sincere. She glanced down to her phone that was in her hands and opened her contact list, hovering her finger over the name that she had created

ViszhShe hesitated.

Natasha noted the hesitation and out of frustration took the phone and called, handing it back to a startled Wanda.

"Good luck" she smirked and after checking that nobody else was in the ladies toilets, she left.

"Hello?"

Vision answered the phone rather quickly, startling Wanda.

"H-hello Vision, its Wanda Maximoff"


Vision had been talking to his cousin Stephen Strange, regarding Steve Roger's condition and seeing if it was something that he could help with, he had accepted and so Vision made the appointment and informed Carol and Nick.

He was walking out of the hospital office when his phone rang, he smiled as he noted the caller ID Wanda.MHe answered

"Hello?""H-hello Vision, its Wanda Maximoff"he beamed as he heard her voice, his heart almost skipped that he had to curse inside his mind dont fall in love you idiot!

"Miss Maximoff, what can I do for you?"

He noted the pause on the other end, it hadn't disconnected, was she not feeling well? he started to panic.

"Wanda?"

"Can I come see you?"

he was taken aback by how quickly she asked and furrowed his brow as he responded

"right now? I'm currently at the hospital, but I can come and see you later on?"he wasnt quite sure what the problem was but became more worried as the woman on the other end seemed to start hyperventilating as she spoke again

"Where are you? I- I need to see you.. now"

Vision sighed and darted to his car, asking a simple

"Where are you? I'll come over now"


Wanda hung up the phone after giving Vision the address and got up, she decided it would be best that she wait outside so she could talk with him and found herself hoping that Lizzie had left so they didnt bump into one another.

She opened the door and noticed Natasha standing outside it, glaring at any woman that dared near, Wanda smiled and took Natasha's arm, leading her away from the toilets and allowing the array of women entry.

"So are you going to see him?"Natasha asked simply and Wanda nodded

"He is coming here now so I need to step out for a bit to speak with him"

Natasha smiled softly and placed her hand ontop of Wanda's head

"I'll keep speedy over there company so dont worry and focus on yourself"

Wanda was shocked by her words, why was she being so nice to her, it didnt seem like she was doing it just because she was Pietros girlfriend.

"Why are you being so nice to me?"Natasha chuckled at the question as she replied

"At first I thought you would be a stuck up sibling that spends her brothers money, but after being with you for a while, I've realised that you are a hard worker and your brother needs to give you a break, you never seem to look after yourself and I think that Peter Colt can help you a lot with your inner demons"

She placed her hand over Wanda's arm and smiled reassuringly before turning and heading back to Pietro.


Vision was currently outside the hotel, he stayed in his car as he glanced around to find Wanda.

He was startled when his car door opened and smiled when he noted it was Wanda and figured that he hadn't realised it was her due to the clothing she was wearing.

"Is everything ok?"

His eyes were earnest, the worry sparkled through and Wanda's wall broke instantly.

"Could we go somewhere else to... talk?"she asked quietly and Vision nodded, starting the car and heading to his flat, he knew that Tony was in work so she would have privacy to speak to him.

Once they had arrived, Vision set about making tea and Wanda sat on the couch, she was trying to rebuild the wall inside her heart, the fear of rejection was loomed over her mind and her anxiety was at its peak, she had never confessed her feelings to anyone before and didnt quite know how to do it but her mind was steadfast in regards to the confession and she was adamant that she would confess, she needed to get it out of the way before she fell deeper and Lizzie would take Vision away.

Vision came over and placed the mug of tea on the table and sat on the armchair opposite Wanda.

"So.. what seems to be the problem?" he asked gently, his words again caressing the anxiety in her mind.

Tears

They fell from her eyes and she found that the floor was a very good place to bore a hole in as she refused to lift her gaze, refused to show him the tears that had now glistened her cheeks, she took a breath.

Exhaled it out and held her hands together, her knuckles were white from the amount of pressure she was using to hold her hands together, she bit her lip, gnawing at the flesh, the anxiety was building again but she couldnt falter, she had to do it.

"I like you"

she exhaled the words out.
