AN: Enjoy!

Wanda and Vision continued to meet up over the following two years.

Vision liked to say that Wanda taught him how to love, but Wanda knew he had already had that in him, even if he hadn't entirely understood it. As their relationship had progressed, there were a few things she had needed to teach him, but once he had learned- Wanda blushed slightly at a memory- He was very good at.. Things.

Since their meetings were secret, and the location of said meetings often wasn't decided until just before they were due to leave for said meetings, Wanda and Vision weren't always sure what kind of weather to expect.

While Wanda still preferred warmth, where possible, she was beginning to gain an appreciation for colder climates. The sound of rainfall. The way snow glittered in the right light. It was easy to see the beauty in these things, with Vision to wrap his arm around her and keep her warm. Especially when looking at them through Vision's eyes. His eyes were still so new, his views so untainted, that he could see the beauty in just about everything.. Including Wanda, even, or perhaps especially, when she was having trouble seeing it herself.

With Vision, Wanda could almost enjoy Winter, almost enjoy the cold. She'd been almost enjoying herself on the night they should have stayed in bed.

That should have been the end of everything.. And it was, for a while. But, thanks to the brave efforts of their surviving teammates, everyone lost to Thanos had been restored. Including, eventually, Vision, thanks to a joint effort from Tony, Bruce, Shuri, and later in the piece, Wanda herself. Wanda was the final source of Mind Stone energy left in their world. While the others could mend his body, Wanda could provide the spark needed awaken his mind.. or so they hoped.

Everyone had gathered, Avengers old and new, and their strange new space friends, the Guardians Of The Galaxy, all waiting and hoping, even though some of them had never met Vision.

The Science Bros feat. Shuri had done everything they could. It was all up to Wanda now. She'd taken a breath, stepping up beside Vision's grey, motionless body. pressing glowing Scarlet hands to the side of his head. Another breath to focus.

"Come on, Vizh.." She begged him. Colour began to return to his face, slowly spreading over his body. Hope swelled in Wanda's chest. "Wake up. Please, wake up for me."

Suddenly, Vision sat bolt upright, sending Wanda almost stumbling backwards. He was confused, slightly panicked. The last thing he remembered was Thanos gripping his throat, so when he saw the alien members of the Guardians..

Peter Quill instinctively raised his blaster as Vision unexpectedly charged at his teammates, but Wanda, faster than anyone had ever seen her move, planted herself between the weapon and the raging Vision.

"No!" Her eyes flashed red. She'd already watched the man she loved die twice. It would not happen again.

The sound of her voice snapped Vision out of the rage.

"Wanda.." He swallowed, suddenly a little horrified with himself. He'd been floating, but brought himself down. Almost stumbled, but Wanda spun around to catch him.

"It's okay" She held him close. Though he was still taller than her, in that moment he had somehow felt small. Wanda held him tighter. "You're okay."

"I-I'm sorry.." Vision murmured.

"It's alright.." One of the Guardians, the blue woman who had almost as much metal in her body as Vision did.. Nebula, Wanda thought her name was.. spoke, in a much gentler voice than any of them had become accustomed to hearing from her. "We know what Thanos can do.."

Wanda had opened her mouth to thank her, but became distracted when Vision leaned against her.

"W-What happened? Where are we?" He was still so confused. "I feel a bit strange.."

"I'll take you somewhere to rest" Said Wanda quickly. "Then I'll try and explain.." She looked around, as if daring anyone to stop her from taking Vision out of Shuri's lab.

No-one did.

They walked slowly, giving Vision time to adjust. His legs grew stronger, but he still leaned on Wanda, clinging to her like his lifeline, because she was. Vision did not know what had just happened, but he did know, with absolute certainty, that he would not have been alive without Wanda.

"Wanda.."

"Yeah, Vizh?"

"I.. I think I am a little bit broken."

"That's okay" She paused for just a moment, leaning up to press a soft kiss to his lips. "I'll put you back together, like you did for me."

And she had. It had taken some time, and it wasn't always easy. But Wanda had taken care of Vision, nursed him back to health. She held him and comforted him when he had nightmares, which happened a lot more often, for a while. She was patient with him, as he had always been with her.

Eventually, with the aid of time and Wanda's tender care, Vision recovered. Wanda accepted from the beginning that he would never be exactly the same. The kind of trauma that he had suffered, that both of them had suffered, left a permanent mark. But Vision's heart, the heart that sped up whenever he held her, was the same as it ever was.

He was still the Vision she loved, the same Vision who loved her.

After everything happened, Vision came to share Wanda's aversion to the cold. Bad things seemed to happen to them when it was cold.

They still enjoyed the sound of rain, still found beauty in Winter snow.. they just preferred to enjoy these things from afar, snuggled up together in their new home, not far from the Barton Farm.

And so they were snuggled on the couch, one such rainy day, as they had done, now, quite a few times before. They were watching a movie, Wanda couldn't remember which.. That detail seemed rather unimportant with everything that followed.

Vision had become slightly distracted, staring at Wanda with a furrowed brow, like he was trying to think of, or remember something.

"What is it, Vizh?" Wanda lifted her head from his shoulder to softly smile at him.

This exchange had happened before. Usually, Vision would shake his head, forgetting whatever it was he had been trying to remember, and simply tell her he was beautiful.

That day was different. That day, his eyes had widened, finally grasping the memory, and he was so pleased that words tumbled from his mouth without thinking.

"Will you Marry me, Wanda?"

"W-What?" Wanda's own eyes widened.

"I'm sorry.." Vision's face immediately crumpled. "I.. that was supposed to be.. to happen different.. I meant to ask in Edinburgh, before everything.. I had a ring, but I must have lost it.. it was supposed to be romantic, I'm so sorry, I.. Mmm.."

Wanda silenced his ramble with a soft kiss. Her initial panic had come from her thinking he couldn't have meant it, but she could see that he had. And so, she told him:

"Yes."

"What?" He blinked.

"Yes, Vision. Yes, I will marry you."

"Oh!" Vision's eyes lit up. "I.. I'll get you a new ring, I promise, and.. Mmm.." Wanda had kissed him again. "Sorry.. I am rambling, aren't I?"

"A little" Wanda smiled. "But rambling is a very cute quality in a fiance.."
