Dr Strange was in the New York Sanctum, looking through the endless possible outcomes when he was jolted out of his trance like state by Woo, he knew something was wrong and instantly called a portal forth to Wakanda.
Wanda, Vision and Shuri had finally reached Pietro, T'Challa and the Dora Milaje, informing them all rather quickly of Gabriel's presence and that he was most likely there to ascertain or harm Wanda.
Dr Strange entered infront of everyone through the portal and looked at those infront of him,
Wanda had some slight cuts on her face and hands, Shuri also the same with a bruise rising on the side of her temple and Vision had some slight scuffs on his torso that appeared to be healing quickly.
"Is it Thanos?" Strange looked to Vision for a reply.
"No... it's my brother.. Gabriel, he is an angel like me, I suppose he is more a child of Thanos than a brother of mine.." Vision trailed off, feeling rather overwhelmed by the prospect of battling a person that he did at one point think of as a sibling.
"Is he here for Wanda, or all of you?" Strange still wasnt certain on the outcome of their current path and needed to ensure that he knew all the details.
"It looks like he wants me.. but I'm not sure if its dead or alive.." Wanda said, frowning to herself as she thought of how bad things always seemed to follow her around, no matter what universe she found herself in, she can never be happy it seems, her loved ones will always end up hurt.
Strange noted Wanda's demeanor and nodded his reply before beckoning a portal infront of everyone, encouraging all in the room to enter through it so Gabriel wouldn't be able to find them so easily.
The gang walked through the portal and found themselves at the avengers compound, Wanda looked around the area, trying to decipher exactly where in the universe she was, it didnt take her long to find out as a rather young Steve Roger's came jogging out of the compound, along with a man with metal wings, a memory causing her to name him Sam and a red figure that phased through the wall.
Her heart stopped, her breath caught at the sight of him, it was Vision, android Vision that was born of Ultrons desire and Tony and Bruce's brains, her original Viszh.
"what year is this...?" Wanda whispered over to Dr Strange, who looked back at the woman with a solemn look in his eyes
"2015.. this was shortly after the fall of Sokovia.."
Wanda felt her knees fall before but was surprised to find that she hadn't fallen, rather she was held safely upright by strong and yet fragile red arms, she felt herself pressed against the vibranium body that was Vision, she looked up to meet his gaze, losing herself in the mechanical gears that were his eyes.
"Are you ok miss Maximoff?" Vision asked her in a rather emotionless sense which caused Wanda to cough as she steadied herself, feeling the rising heat in her cheeks, she already had one Vision which held two souls, how many more can her heart take before giving up entirely?
"Mmhmm, Thank you Vision" Wanda replied, smiling softly at him and placing her hand over his arm so he could release his hold.
Vision let go of Wanda and watched as the figure of a man, with the same body structure, only he was carrying some white feathered wings on his back, walk over to them and take Wanda's hand.
Vision felt the urge to break the hand that dared touched Wanda but stopped himself, feeling as though he had a corrupt chip in his mind that would most likely need to be corrected.
"Hello uhh everyone.. I'm sorry but I dont think I've met any of you apart from Wanda" Steve walked over to them and nodded to Wanda as though asking if she is ok as a male that he did not know was currently holding her hand.
Dr Strange stepped forward to Captain America and smiled before replying
"I think you will all need to sit down.. I'm not sure if I can get this out in one sitting.. so we will need coffee"
Inside the compound, everyone was sitting at the glass table while Strange stood, explaining the story thus far to those who have yet to catch up.
The seating arrangement was as follows:
Android Vision- Wanda- Angel Michael/Vision- Pietro- Shuri- T'Challa- Okoye- Sam- Steve- Woo and a various array of Dora Milaje warriors standing.
"So your saying that there is another version of myself and that is this Michael? and he also holds the soul of a version of myself as I am only from an alternate universe?" Vision sounded almost robotic, causing Wanda to think back through the memories of the soul that had become one with her, trying to remember if he had always sounded that cold.
"That is precisely what I am saying, so at the moment there are three versions of Vision in this room and three versions of Wanda-" Dr Strange halted his speech as he saw the figure of a broken Wanda Maximoff, the version that had just buried her older brother and was still in the difficult stages of grief, he watched her reaction as she saw Pietro, very much alive and instinctively covered his comrades with a shield of his energy as he saw her eyes glow bright scarlet, she was losing control.
Wanda looked over at the broken version of herself and reached out a hand to steady her before something cataclysmic happened.
"Its ok, hes alive!" she wrapped her arms around the broken form, causing her powers to draw back.
Pietro walked over to his sisters and smiled as he saw how much the broken version was sobbing, he grabbed her, bringing her as close as he could get, easing her grief.
So now that everyone was caught up, Vision was still not too pleased with the explanation and decided that it would be best to ask for answers from the only other person that would understand him, himself.
"May I sit here?" Vision glided over to the god like being and motioned at the seat next to him.
Angel Vision nodded in agreement.
"I am not sure how to refer to you.." Vision was truly at a loss for once, not even Jarvis interface and world renowned knowledge would help him in this situation.
"My name is Michael.. it might be best that I go by that name again during this time" Michael smiled sadly towards his counterpart, Vision nodded in agreement.
"So what exactly do you want to know?" Michael asked and Vision replied a little too quickly, causing Michael to smirk playfully.
"What is your relationship with Miss Maximoff?" Although Vision had a redish/Purple colour to his skin, Michael could tell that he was blushing.
"What sort of relationship would you like to have with Wanda?" He asked, knowing all too well what Visions answer would be as he held the soul of his alter ego and understood how long it took for him to comprehend his feelings for the girl, but a little push would have most certainly given them more time.
Wanda was currently sitting on the floor of the main lounge with the other version of herself and Pietro, she sighed as she felt another bout of sickness take hold.
"Are you ok? you dont look so good.." This Worlds Wanda looked at her with a frown forming along her eyebrows, she smiled in reply and chose not to disclose the contents of her womb just yet, she would need to fall in love with this worlds Vision all on her own.
"I think we need to discuss a battle plan.." Wanda looked over to Dr Strange who was currently talking to Captain America, most likely discussing the battle plan before announcing what the plan was to everyone else.
Natasha Romanoff and Clint Barton had also arrived at the compound for back up.
Wanda felt her eyes prickle with unshed tears as she saw Natasha alive and very much well, she held them back, remembering the training that she had given to her other World soul and instead smiled brightly at the gang, causing some around her to be taken aback, they were used to the grief stricken teenager Wanda, not the happy go lucky young woman, even Vision found himself gaping but stopped himself, turning his focus to his world version of Wanda and smiling shyly as he noticed how in awe she seemed as she watched the happy version, he could almost read her mind thinking
"Is it possible that I can be that happy...?"
Yes it is.. he found the words in his mind but refused to speak them, instead he watched both versions and decided that he would do anything to keep them safe and most of all make Wanda happy again.
A/N - Holy Heck! This has gone far beyond my own brain span haha, I have no idea who or what my muse is at the moment but damn this world is definitely out there, it's probably going to give the multiverse of madness a run for its money -laughs-
hope you've enjoyed so far ~
