Wanda, Michael and Natasha were still in the room where Wanda had given birth to her twins, they were staring at the two newborn babies, as they all debated on names.
"What about Nathan?" Natasha asked and Wanda shook her head.
"Maybe... Vincent?" Michael asked but shook his head afterwards, it didnt suit either baby
Wanda sat silently, watching the babies as she thought of what name would best describe them.
Unbeknown to them, there was a plan brewing, a plan that Dr Strange mused could lead to the complete end of Thanos.
Dr Strange, Tony Stark, Steve Roger's, Bucky Barnes, Sam Wilson, Clint Barton, Vision, Wanda, Pietro and Thor who had just arrived from Asguard were talking about the plan that Strange and Tony thought up.
They had decided to use Wanda and Vision who would take on his human form as bait for Thanos, hopefully distracting him long enough for everyone to pounce and as Strange reiterated to Thor who would deal the final blow 'Go for the head'
Thor nodded and Dr Strange began opening a golden ring, a portal that would take them to the reality where Thanos was currently waiting.
Tony who was extremely smart, and would like to think of himself smarter than Einstein didnt quite understand how the portals that Dr Strange used worked as he had questioned how Gabriel had managed to find them, to which Strange replied that the sanctum was an ever constant between each alternate reality, a doorway as he would like to think.
"But dont worry, that door is now closed, so no more surprises" Dr Strange said as everyone nodded before entering the portal.
They each stepped out and was surprised to find an elderly couple sitting at the table of the avengers compound.
"Hello everyone, we have been waiting." The elderly woman spoke and gestured for all to sit down.
The elderly man stood and spoke as he looked over to Steve "My name is Steve Rogers.. I am an alternate version of you" he smiled as he saw everyone nod, their mouths agape.
"How did you know we were coming?" Vision asked as he stepped infront of Wanda, ensuring that he could shield her if anything did happen
"Well that would be from me" Nick Fury had appeared from the doorway with a blonde woman dressed in an other worldly outfit and Jane Foster with crew.
Strange had already seen this as he had entered through the numerous possible outcomes, so did not feel the need to mingle around the subject.
Tony and the others however did not know the outcome and did feel the need to get specific with Nick Fury regarding how he even knew about this.
So after a number of explanations that involved Carol Davnvers search through the galaxy and Jane Foster finding a tear through reality as she had been conducting some experiments, they were all understood and thankful as it appeared they had more allies in their fight against Thanos.
Wanda and Vision had been standing back from the rest of the group, Vision was still listening intently to everyone's words regarding the plan, glancing every so often back to Wanda who looked lost in thought, he frowned and placed a hand on her shoulder.
"Are you ok Wanda?" he whispered softly, causing her to smile as she replied
"I am going to rip Thanos apart before he can harm anyone else, I will make sure that everyone is safe.. I am going to protect you" she placed her hands on either side of Visions face, bringing him down to her as she rested his head above her own, feeling the warmth of the mind stone.
She was absolute in her thoughts, she was going to make him pay for all the suffering that he had caused to the other versions of herself and Vision, she would not fail. She would protect her alter ego and the newly born twins and ensure their happiness remains unstained by Thanos.
Vision wanted to stop this plan when he knew how much danger Wanda was putting herself in, he knew that she could die during this, but he couldnt stop her, he understood that she was absolute in her decision to become bait. He pulled away from her and slowly, softly placed a loving kiss above her lips causing her to blush crimson by his sudden daring display of affection, she was overly aware of everyone's surprise as she read all of their minds at that moment.
"Okay kids break it up, it's time to get in position" Dr Strange stated and Vision quickly phased into his human form, the mind stone was now also out of view as he had been practicing changing his appearence.
Thanos had grown impatient of waiting for Gabriel to return, he turned to the dark and extremely large figure as he spoke
"Ultron, it's time we get what we came for"
Ultron appeared from the shadows and bowed his head in understanding, setting the coordinates for the Avengers compound.
Wanda who was currently nursing both newborn babies felt a cold chill travel down her spine, the babies noticed Wanda's emotional change and began to wail, causing Michael and Natasha to come over.
"What's wrong my love?" Michael asked as he took Wanda's hand, she was shaking, tears were now streaming down her face but she couldnt speak.
Natasha frowned as worry overcame her usually emotionless face.
"Okay kid, eyes on me" Natasha forced Wanda's eyes to meet her own as she continued
"Good now I need you to take a deep breath in" she inhaled, Wanda copied
"And out" she exhaled, Wanda had visibly gained control of herself as she began to speak
"I think something terrible is going to happen.. the stone inside my mind.. its... screaming" she looked to Michael, hoping that maybe he understood, but he looked confused, he hadn't felt anything from the stone ontop of his head.
As quickly as Natasha blinked, Wanda gasped as a bright light of Scarlet twinkled from her temple and an aura surrounded them.
They could see everyone, they saw those that had just left through Stranges portal, they were watching as if they were also in the room, but nobody could see them.
Vision and Natasha frowned, it appeared as though the reality stone was showing them what was happening to the rest of their family while they were still safe in a different time and alternate World.
Wanda was currently standing on the balcony of the avengers compound talking to Peggy, they were having a conversation regarding child birth and pregnancy, talking as though one of them were expecting.
Vision who was in the form of Michael walked over to the women and offered Wanda a milk tea.
All seemed relatively normal.
Strange had hidden everyone bar older Steve Rogers and Pietro in a pocket portal, ready for whenever Thanos would show up.
Everyone was on pins, Strange could feel the time approaching as he told everyone to be ready.
Just like clockwork, the skies darkened around the compound as a large ship hovered above.
Wanda gasped and Vision/Michael stepped infront of her, protecting her from anything that dared near them.
Peggy ushered them both inside as the doors to the ship opened, revealing Thanos and to Vision and Wanda's surprise Ultron, making their way to the compound.
They stood in the main area with Steve and Pietro at either side of the group, Steve holding up his shield and Thors hammer Mjölnir as they awaited their unwanted visitors, Wanda clasped a steady hand over Visions, steadying him as he was visibly shocked.
"Its ok... Michael, we will win this time"
He nodded in understanding and prepared himself as Thanos and Ultron arrived from the elevator.
Wanda eyed Thanos as he entered the room while Vision, masking himself as Michael questioned.
"Why have you come here? I had things handled"
Thanos eyed the man infront of him and the group around and frowned as he spoke
"Where is Gabriel? I sent him here to see you but he never returned"
Vision took a breath as he replied as calmly as he could
"Gabriel never came, I have not seen him"
Wanda watched the exchange and couldnt help but feel the eyes of Ultron bore into her skull as he gazed down at her, Pietro noticed this and turned protectively to face Ultron.
Thanos watched Michael intently as he realised something, a sinister smirk appeared on his lips as he spoke, causing Wanda's spine to vibrate with fear.
"Where are your wings Michael?"
Thanos lunged, causing Vision to phase out of his human form as Wanda forced her power through her fingers, shielding the synthezoid and the rest of the group as she shouted
"NOW!"
