Wanda began having nightmares again. Vision could sense it without even trying.
Over the past few weeks, their connection had only gotten stronger. It was both a blessing and a curse, because he wanted to be close to her, but missed her all the more for being able to hear but not see her.
This time, he had had enough. He was done watching her suffer through things he knew that he could prevent. He was done missing her when he had all the power that he needed to make that go away.
He walked out of the compound, not even thinking about effectively masking his movements. He simply turned off his transponder and flew away.
Wanda woke up just as she had every single morning for the past week. "Good morning, sweetheart." came Vision's voice. It was different somehow, but she was too drowsy to think about just why. He pulled her close to him, placing a kiss on her forehead.
Her eyes snapped open as she suddenly realized what was happening. Panic quickly settled in.
"Vision! What are you doing here?" a mix of shock, anger, fear, surprise, and elation colored her words, her face, her mind as he looked into it.
"I'm so sorry Wanda. I know I shouldn't have come, but, you were miserable. I needed to be with you."
"Oh Vis, it's ok." she said wrapping her arms around him and laying her head on his chest. "Did Steve see you?"
"I called Captain Rogers on my way in. I didn't want to be totally irresponsible. I couldn't jeopardize your safety."
Wanda let out a sigh of relief.
"Does this mean I get you for two whole weeks now?" she asked shyly.
"Hmmm...I suppose it does" a smile lighting up his face at the prospect of more time.
"Mmmm…. Good." she sighed happily, falling back asleep in his arms.
