Wanda had spent most of her days in the regenerating cradle due to her ever changing body, every second the twins were growing larger and larger as they were getting ready to be born, it had been decided that Dr Cho and Shuri would help in the twins delivery and Natasha would act as midwife for Wanda and help with the aftercare of the twins.

Michael could only watch helplessly as his love would writhe in pain from her ever expanding abdomen, he noticed that Shuris Wakandan herbs had helped an awful lot with dulling down the pain, but it had become apparent to everyone that the pregnancy was taking its toll on Wanda's body.

At the latest antenatal check up run by Dr Cho, it was apparent that the twins were now big enough to be delivered, however they would still be classified as premature and thus would need some help in the beginning if Wanda decided to birth them. Wanda however reverently refused after hearing how they might require incubation due to their small size and insisted that she held onto the pregnancy for a few more days. Michael frowned at Wanda's persistence but decided it be best that he remained silent on the matter, Wanda was extremely hormonal as she was now in the later stages of pregnancy and she was even more feared by her friends due to this.

Wanda now remained in the cradle full time, healing her aching body, only appearing from it to chew on some herbs that Shuri would give her or to go to the bathroom. Natasha stayed by her side whenever Michael or Pietro found it too difficult to watch the young woman's ever changing form and the painfully contorted emotions that would cross her face, Natasha also found it difficult, but felt somewhat akin to Wanda (she would never admit it) and so her heart simply refused her to leave Wanda's side.

Tony Stark arrived at the compound after hearing the news from Steve and found himself somewhat surprised by Dr Strange, as if he were staring at a somewhat wizardly version of himself and after a bit of unwanted banter (all of which was one sided as Tony Stark would always take the lead with unwanted comments and jokes) Tony was finally caught up on the situation, he turned to look to Michael and then back to Vision.

"Okay can angel wings over there come and stand next to my robo-son?" he gestured for Michael to stand near Vision who was visibly sighing at Tony's reference

"Ok now Vision, remember when you tried to change your appearance?" Vision nodded, it was something that he was still working on but closed his eyes as he willed the colour of his vibranium skin to change from its reddish/purple, almost burgundy colour to a much lighter fairer skin of a human, soft tendrils of blonde hair flowed from his skull and the stone stayed ever prominent on his temple, it was the only thing that he could not wish away at the moment.

Stark looked to Vision now in his human form and Michael, they were twins, it was hard to tell one from the other if it weren't for Michael's wings, Tony glanced to Michael and gestured to the wings.

Michael sighed and complied as his wings slipped away into his shoulder blades.

Tony gasped.

Wanda gulped.

Pietro... did not take notice.

All the other avengers bar for a pregnant Wanda, Natasha and Dr Cho were equally shocked, they were identical.

Dr Strange had been watching the commotion of Michael and Vision and began thinking if maybe there were a way to bait Thanos, maybe due to the fact that they have access to different versions, alternate versions of Wanda and Vision, maybe... just maybe.. Thanos could take the bait and hopefully it will give Wanda and Michael enough time to gather their strength.

He strode over to Tony pulling him away from Vision and Michael and called for Captain America to join them as he willed a portal back to the sanctum.

Gabriel had reached New York and was currently hovering over the city sky line as he looked for anything or anyone that resembled the magic that the sorcerer supreme had, he was having no such luck.

Dr Strange, Tony Stark and Steve Roger's stepped out of the portal and found themselves in the sanctum, Tony was riddled with excitement as he looked at all the gothic like memorabilia that Strange had.

"Oooh isn't that that thing.. oh what's it called?! PINHEAD?!" Tony squealed gesturing to a gadget that was encased in a glass box, it had small needles sticking out all around it.

Strange sighed and looked to Stark with a disagreeable gaze.

"We need to discuss a plan.. Thanos has beaten us before! We cant let him take Wanda, he will destroy the World!"

Tony and Steve watched Dr Strange noting his serious demeanor.

"But didnt you say that we beat him? I mean cant we just do what we did then?"

Steve asked reluctantly and instantly regretted the question as he saw the pained expression cross Dr Stranges face.

"We lost, we only won after we lost everything.. Natasha Romanoff died, Tony Stark" he looked to Tony as he finished his sentence "died.. I am afraid that this time, it wont be as merciful, I fear this time it wont even be half of the universe that would dissipate.." Strange frowned at the thought that occurred in his mind, the thought that maybe Thanos wanted only the strongest beings in his mind to survive and that would mean universal extinction for all beings.

Strange became lost in his thoughts, opening the power of the time stone so he could slip into the future, to foresee what Thanos would hope to accomplish.

After all the time that he had been unable to take a firm grasp on the future, this time it was clear, the goal that Thanos had in his mind, it was indeed Wanda, by his side, dark energy-Chaos consuming her soul as he took her as his own, brainwashing her, corrupting her and her brood.

Gabriel was still hovering the sky line of Brooklyn as he felt it, the sharp tingle of an infinity stone, he smirked and flew toward the building that the power was pulsating from and dived into an upper level window.

Strange was pulled from his thoughts as Tony and Steve were currently grappling with a battle angel that Strange remembered to be Gabriel.

Using the time stone Strange froze the being in place and walked over to ask a simple question.

"Why are you following Thanos rule?"Gabriel smirked at the question and chuckled as he replied "Only the strong can survive, I think it makes perfect sense, to start a new world with only those that are powerful, creating a new era, and Maximoff is a fine trophy"

WHACK

Steve, did not hesitate as his fist met Gabriels face.

"Dont ever talk like that about a woman" he simply stated as Gabriel still frozen in the air was left shocked by the searing pain that was pulsating along his face, he was sure his jaw had become dislodged.

"We need to get back.. but what do we do with tweety here?" Tony quirked to Strange, who opened a portal and pushed Gabriel through it, sending him to the Sahara desert in the year 1996 of alternate universe C.

"I doubt he will be able to come back.." Strange chuckled as only he could understand that joke.

Michael was now back in the room where Wanda was, inside the cradle, healing her body as it was breaking, she looked up and saw his gaze on her, she sat up from the cradle and beckoned him to help her up, he obliged and she rested herself against him, sighing as she felt the slightest of contractions, she looked up to gaze into his daringly beautiful blue eyes and smiled lovingly at him as she whispered

"I think my waters just broke.."

Michael's eyes widened as he called for everyone to come and help instantly. He had become a fumbling fool and Wanda couldn't stop the chuckle that had risen from watching him, she helped herself onto the gurdy and slowly layed back as Shuri and Cho beckoned people to leave so they could begin preparing, Michael strode over and grasped Wanda's hand reassuring himself more than her "You will be fine.."

"Ofcourse she will be fine, shes a tough cookie.. her brother however is honestly falling apart..."

Natasha opened the door slightly so Pietro could see his sister, causing him to cry in relief and also fear before closing it again.

"Ok she will be fine, so just wait there"

Shuri was gathering the herbs, while Dr Cho was preparing the pain killers, Wanda watched, feeling as though her soul had left her body and she was watching herself from above, it was an other world experience, she could feel the soft hum of Michael's mind, holding her to the room as Dr Cho administered the pain killer, Shuri fed Wanda some more herbs and they began the procedure of cutting through Wanda's abdomen to safely remove the twins.

Wanda felt nothing, she wasnt sure whether she was still alive as the World around her stilled and suddenly as though snapping her to the ground on the room, she heard it, the wail of a baby, her first born son, she looked to Michael who was clearly shocked, tears streamed his face as he looked at her, his smile causing immense relief and then a second cry, Wanda tried to sit up but found that she couldnt feel her legs, she was beginning to feel rather panicked as she had yet seen her sons and suddenly she felt the heat signatures of two beings pressed against her chest, her boys.. she cried as Michael held them all close.

They were finally here.
