There was just so much to plan. Vision put together a detailed agenda of things that he and Wanda could do in Scotland, leaving plenty of time in between that they could just spend alone together in the hotel. He was careful to plan activities that would allow them to stay undercover, but still enjoy themselves. It would be the first time since being on the run that he could take Wanda on a real date. Truth be told, it would be the first time ever that he could take Wanda on a real date.
That would be day 2. Day one, he'd planned nothing. He knew that they would need time to just sit and talk, catch up. He would want to hold her close and simply be with her.
He recruited Nat and the newly-returned Ms. Potts to help pick out a dress. Something beautiful, but subtle, as not to blow their cover. They also helped him choose his clothes, stunned by his new human disguise, and some everyday clothes for Wanda as well. He knew she didn't have much of her own, being on the run, and wanted to bring her some comfortable, practical things, which he knew she probably didn't have.
Vision decided to show the new clothes to Wanda. He reached out for her.
"Hello, my love."
What came back was silent sorrow. She was missing him, desperately. She communicated feelings instead of words. She missed him, she wished it didn't have to be so long until they could see each other. She was excited, but also sad and lonely.
"Maybe this will take your mind off of things? In Bringing you some new clothes. Ms. Romanoff and Ms. Potts helped to pick them out. I can certainly exchange them if they don't work, though…"
Wanda cut off his train of thought.
"Whatever it is, Vis, I'm sure I'll love it." She reassured him.
He went through the pile of neatly folded clothes, examining each one closely so that she could see and feel them through their connection.
Wanda had almost always found clothing to be an annoyance, even before. Not that she particularly thought going around naked was a good idea either, but clothes were a practical necessity that she was never quite comfortable in. These, however, were different. Vision did an exceptional job picking soft, comfortable things that were also strong enough to withstand her life on the run. She could tell that the main reason that Nat and Pepper were involved was to be sure that the clothes were stylish and subtle enough not to attract attention.
"These are wonderful, Vis! I can't wait to wear them!"
"Look under your bed, my love."
Wanda was already sitting on the bed, so she learned over the edge, hanging upside down to grab a medium-sized box wrapped in plain paper. There was a note attached, written in his eerily perfect handwriting.
I knew you'd be missing me right now, but I hope this helps.
-Vision
She opened the box to find a cozy-looking white sweatshirt. The kind with little holes in the sleeves for your thumbs to go through. She put it on and instantly felt at home. It smelled like him, and his room at the compound. Metal and old books and just a hint of the cologne he'd once tried wearing to appear more human.
The smell brought a flood of memories, her favorite being the way he found any reason at all to casually walk by and see her reaction to the different kinds of cologne he was trying. They weren't dating at the time, but he was clearly trying hard to impress her.
His quiet and slightly embarrassed laugh brought her back to the present.
"Thanks Vis, this helps."
"Check the inside pocket."
Wanda reached into the sweatshirt, finding a small, flat, square object. Her hand stilled, and she felt slightly nervous.
"Vis?... what is this?"
Vision noticed her change in tone and mood immediately. Wondering what had upset her, he searched the internet quickly before collapsing in a roar of laughter.
"Not at all what I think you think it is!"
Wanda warily continued, pulling the object out of her pocket.
The small square was colored red and metallic blue, just like her Vision, with a small button in the center. When she pressed it, the device unfolded into a rather comfortable-looking blanket. She could tell there was something very special about it, but she could also tell that Vision felt excited to explain it to her.
"Looks like your skills at developing your own tech are improving. Tell me about this."
"I know just how uncomfortable you can be, depending on where you end up for the night sometimes. This fabric is created so that you can easily manipulate it with your powers. You can use it to form a small shelter, and gain some privacy. You can alter the density so that it can provide a bit of soothing weight, and the temperature to be comfortable in any condition. But, my favorite part is this…"
Vision moved his arms as if he was holding onto something, or someone, and the blanket that was merely laying over Wanda shifted.
Tears sprang to her eyes at how much she missed something so simple. It definitely wasn't the same as being in the same room as her wonderful, thoughtful, caring boyfriend, but it was certainly the next best thing.
She marveled at the thoughts and feelings going through his head. He could feel her too, as if they were together at last.
She slept better that night than she ever had.
