AN: Enjoy!

Wanda woke, five years later, she was told, to a world without Vision, a world she had never wanted to face. But she was an Avenger. She had made a commitment, a promise. So, although the pain of her soulmate's loss burned like a raging fire in her gut, Wanda got off her ass, stepped through the door (Well, portal), and got to the job at hand.

She confronted the Mad Titan himself, at the first chance she got. He didn't know her, but she made sure that he would never forget who she was. Wanda had almost ended the whole battle on her own, probably would have succeeded, if not for Thanos playing dirty and blasting her with a missile. She'd been left dazed after that, but not for long. She'd taken to the sky, initially wanting to find Thanos and finish the job..

But then she saw the boy, Peter Parker, the one who called himself Spider-Man. Battered and bruised, and so much younger than she'd imagined, having never seen him without his mask. He looked so worried as he passed the Gauntlet to a glowing blonde-haired woman he didn't recognise, and neither did Wanda, though must be on their side. That look tugged at Wanda's heart. Vision had liked Peter, he'd told her so.

In the name of her lost soulmate, Wanda did what he would have done. She gave up her desire revenge in favour of a more selfless pursuit. Wanda landed beside Peter Parker, told him not to worry. Fought alongside a group of amazing, powerful women, most of whom she had never met, or else did not know very well, but that didn't matter, not when they fought for the same purpose. Wanda fought on the side of life, and she knew that her Vision would have been proud.

But that didn't change anything. It couldn't bring him back. Wanda would be forever broken, forever missing a part of her soul. So when Tony Stark snapped his fingers, and Thanos and his army crumbled to dust, she would not have minded going with them.

Clint took Wanda home with him, after Tony Stark's funeral. There wasn't really anywhere else for her to go. Clint, at least, cared about her, and, may have had some small idea of what she was going through.. and not just through the loss of Laura, who had since been returned to him.

Wanda wasn't surprised when Clint showed her his second, platonic mark, Natasha's words ("Just get it over with.") having lost their colour, although she would not have needed it to understand his grief over the Black Widow's death. She also felt Nat's loss keenly, still struggling to believe she was gone.

For weeks, Wanda desperately avoided looking at her own soulmark, not wanting to see Vision's beautiful golden words faded to the dull grey signifying his death. She succeeded, until the day she accidentally caught a glimpse of herself in the mirror as she was getting out of the shower, and froze. Blinked, unable to believe what she was seeing. It couldn't be. It was wishful thinking.

Wanda stared at her reflection for a long while before she looked down, fully expecting to have her brief, impossible moment of hope crushed.. but it wasn't. The words were still the shining gold they had been on the day they had first appeared.

Wanda felt a lump in her throat. Her fingers gently tracing the letters on her stomach. She could hear Vision's voice, as clearly as if he were right there with her.

"Look Again."

And so she did. Wanda closed her eyes. Reached out into the world with her mind, her heart, her torn soul. Searched for any sign of Vision, any of the small signs she had sensed, but brushed away, believing they couldn't be real.

She looked, and she could feel him. A little bit broken, but he was there.

Wanda's heart swelled, a smile spreading over her face. She hurriedly dried herself, and dressed. After weeks of moving about like a ghost, she now had plans.

Take away the Stone, and there was still a lot of Vision left.

She just had to put the pieces back together.

From what little information Wanda could gather, Vision's body was most likely still in Wakanda. Bruce, in the broken Hulk-buster, had taken the time to drag him back to Shuri's lab, but beyond that, no-one could tell her.

Clint, to his credit, did not ask too many questions when she told him she needed to go. He drove Wanda into the city, to the Sanctum Sanctorum, where, after explaining her reasons, Doctor Strange was happy to offer her a portal to Wakanda.

Princess Shuri was not at all surprised when Wanda suddenly stepped into her lab, although she did slightly startle the normally unflappable Okoye.

"I thought you would be here soon.." Shuri had smiled at her. "Actually, I am surprised you did not come sooner.."

"I thought he was gone, and I was avoiding looking at my mark.." Wanda replied, slightly ashamed. "Is he.."

"Follow me.."

Shuri led Wanda deeper into the lab, where they found Vision, hooked up to many strange machines Wanda didn't recognise, one showing a digital map of his broken, slightly scattered mind. His body was still grey, save for Wanda's scarlet words, vibrant enough to be visible through his suit, but Shuri had repaired his stab wounds, and his previously shattered skull.

"Vizh.." Wanda reached out to hold his hand, and she could have sworn his fingers twitched in response.

"He knows you are here.." Shuri was already at work, examining the map and repairing more broken connections.

"C-Can you help him?" Wanda looked at the Princess.

"I think so. His mind is less broken from losing the stone than we expected. I have already been making some repairs, and it will be easier now, with you.. hold this, please.." Shuri handed Wanda a small mechanical object, connected to one of the machines.. And when she held it, the map flickered, and then, some of the connections in Vision's mind began repairing themselves. "Yes!"

"What's happening?"

"You are Vision's soulmate. His mind is repairing itself in response to you, to match you, being his other half" Shuri explained. "And your powers come from the same power source that he has lost. When the time comes for us to try and wake him, you can provide the energy he needs."

"So.." Wanda frowned, "The same power I used to destroy him can also restore him?"

"I believe so" Shuri grinned. "Rather poetic, isn't it? This will all still take time, of course.. maybe a few weeks."

Wanda squeezed Vision's hand, and his fingers slowly curled around hers in response.

"I have time.. as long as he needs."

A few weeks later, when Shuri and Wanda were ready to try and wake Vision, all of the surviving Avengers showed up to witness the event, even the now elderly Steve. They all needed this miracle, even those who had never met Vision. Needed this one small win, in the face of all they had lost to secure their larger victory.

They all watched, as Shuri hooked Wanda up to machines between her and Vision, that would help her focus and channel her power into him, and hopefully, wake him up. Shuri had done everything she could, it was all on Wanda now.

Wanda's heart raced. This had to work. It had to. She had not come all this way to not get her soulmate back. She closed her eyes, summoned her power, focusing, but not to fight and destroy, as she had done to Thanos, but to build to restore, to bring life. She watched, everyone watched, as the colour slowly returned to Vision's face, the reddish-purple of his skin, the teal of his suit, the gold of his cape. But he wasn't moving yet, wasn't waking.

Wanda focused harder on her task, gave more, all she had, all she was, because she needed him, he was her missing piece, the half that made her whole. She moved closer, grasped his face.

"Please, Vision. Come back to me."

She kissed him, and the room filled with energy, swirling scarlet merging with a new colour, gold.

As it suddenly cleared, everyone in the room was forced backwards, Bucky grabbing Steve so he wouldn't fall, Thor catching Rocket before he went flying into the wall, no one entirely sure what was going on..

And then Vision sat bolt upright, gasping, confused, the last thing he remembered was Thanos.. He gazed around the lab, at the awed faces, not all of whom he recognised, until his eyes fell on Wanda.

"Wanda.."

"Vizh!" She threw her arms around him, exhausted, but so very happy. "It's okay.. you're okay."

"I.. I'm okay.." He returned her embrace, instinctively pressing a kiss into her hair, then jumped, panicked. "But Thanos.. The stone..!"

"The Stone is gone. Thanos is gone. You're here" She managed a weak smile for her soulmate, but her efforts had taken a lot out of her. She was so exhausted, but her job was done. She could rest, for a while. "You're here, everything's okay now.."

Wanda fell limp in Vision's arms.

"Wanda.." Vision shook her gently, but she didn't stir, and his eyes widened in horror. "Wanda, wake up! Somebody help please!" His call was answered, nearly everyone present rushing forward to help, but he was still a little confused, and too worried, to properly register them. "Wanda!"

Once again, Wanda woke in a Wakandan hospital room, but this time, it was Vision at her side, clutching her hand. She sensed his presence immediately, turning to smile at him, her heart wonderfully full.

"Hello.."

"Wanda!" He leapt up to hug her. "You scared me.."

"I'm sorry.." She revelled in the feeling of being in his arms, a feeling she thought she may never have again. "But I'm okay, I promise."

"You shouldn't have.. Whatever you did, it was too much" Vision stammered. "W-What if.."

"I'm fine, Vizh" Wanda repeated. "Just a little tired.. but it's worth it. You're my soulmate, I couldn't leave you like you were when there was a chance I could bring you back. You would have done the same for me."

"That's true.." He paused. "Dr. Banner told me.. Five years, really?"

"Yes..

"I suppose it makes sense.. It feels like I've been gone a long time, yet no time at all. I remember Thanos, and then I was just.. lost, for a while. And then.. waiting. That must have come after you were restored.."

"I'm sorry I kept you waiting. I just.."

"It's alright" He leaned over to kiss her. "That doesn't matter now. You just need to rest."

"Mmm.." She sighed contentedly, happily kissing him back. "I have been resting. I'm fine."

"I still think.."

They were interrupted when Shuri stepped into the room.

"Shuri" Wanda grinned. "Great, you can tell Vision I'm fine, and to stop worrying."

"Well.." Shuri hesitated.

"What?" Vision panicked.

"What's wrong?" Wanda frowned.

"Nothing's.. wrong, exactly" said Shuri. "We assumed you were just suffering exhaustion, but I had our Doctors run some tests to be sure, and.."

"And?" Wanda squeezed Vision's hand, now a little nervous herself.

"Well.. Were you aware that you are pregnant?"
