Alright. Here we go. Chapter 4.

I hope you like this one. It's gonna be a long one. Let's get to it.

Davidscrazy234: I plan on pairing him up with somebody. Not sure who yet.

Flash 217: To answer some of your questions: I do not plan to introduce a new enemy like Galactus, though Galactus will show up in a future story. As for your questions about Nora, she may take part in Far From Home, but not sure yet. She will show up soon though, and I have a specific plan for her. Oliver will be going to Nidavellir with Thor, and then to Earth with him. And no, I have no intention of introducing Alfheim anytime soon. Also, just to tell you. You don't need to leave multiple reviews with the same questions in them.

mmat: I may do Oliver/Natasha. I do have plans for more of Team Arrow and Team Flash to come to Earth-1 at some point. Not sure yet about Superman.

Chapter 4- Reunions

Vision looks out the window as a clap of thunder draws his attention. He looks like a normal human, save for the Mind Stone in his forehead. He's mastered the ability to change his body to look like a normal human.

Suddenly, he fails a pain in his head, coming from the Mind Stone. On the bed, Wanda, who's drinking a cup of hot chocolate while reading the newspaper, looks over at him, having heard a small hiss of pain.

"Vis? Is it the stone again?" she asks.

"It's as if it's speaking to me," he mutters.

Wanda sets down her hot chocolate and walks over to him. "What is it saying?" she asks.

"I'm not sure," he says as she walks up to him, looking concerned. After a moment, he gestures to the Stone and asks, "Can you…?"

Wanda complies, reaching up with her hand and using her powers to try and read the Mind Stone. After a few moments of getting nothing, she sighs and looks up at him. "I just feel you," she says.

Vision looks into her eyes, not saying anything. The silence is getting a bit uncomfortable and Wanda is about to speak again when suddenly cries split the silence. She and Vision hurry into the next room to see two babies, each about a year old, sitting up in their cribs, crying.

Wanda is instantly at her daughter's crib, scooping her up and trying to calm her. "There, there. Mommy's got you," she whispers. It doesn't take more than a few seconds for the little girl to quiet down.

As her daughter quiets down, Wanda turns towards her son's crib, only to see that Vision has already picked him up and is calming him down.

Wanda smiles at the sight. She could not have done this without Vision's help. When she found out she was pregnant, she knew it was going to be difficult, but she had hoped Barry would be back soon. Unfortunately, he didn't, and when she realized she was carrying twins, she started to panic a little bit, knowing that the mission Steve, Sam, and Natasha were on was too important, Clint was on Earth-1, and Scott and T'Challa couldn't help her. Knowing Stark would just throw her back in prison, without regard for the fact she was pregnant, she reached out to Vision, the only person left she could trust, even though she didn't fully trust him after the Civil War, praying he would be able to help her.

To her immense gratitude, he had. Upon hearing her news, he quickly got to work getting her the supplies she needed. Cribs. Clothes. Diapers. And other things, as well as money. By the time the twins were born, she had everything she would need to provide for them for a full month.

Since then, they had established a routine. Every three or four weeks, Vision would come with a new batch of supplies she would need, and would bring money if she had run out. He would usually stay for a day or two to help out with various things like shopping for her and cleaning, and even just babysitting if she needed a day to herself, then he would return to the United States. So far, nobody, including Tony, had any idea what Vision was really doing.

Wanda smiles as she gently rocks her daughter. "Thanks, Vis," she says. Vision just smiles in return as he rocks her son.

Within a minute, the two are back asleep, and Wanda and Vision return them to their cribs. Wanda glances at the clock, and sees it's time for Vision to leave. She quickly calls her neighbor, Emma, over to watch the twins while she escorts Vision to the train station.

The train station is very close to her apartment, so the two just walk, chatting as they go.

As they near the entrance to the train station, Wanda says, "So, there's a 10 AM to Glasgow. It would help get you back tomorrow night."

"What if I miss that train?" Vision asks.

"Well, there's an 11," Wanda says.

"What if I missed all the trains? What if this time I don't go back?" Vision asks.

Wanda looks at him in confusion. "What do you mean? Stark is expecting you back. You can't just stay here," she points out.

"Wanda, even with me coming regularly, you're still struggling to make ends meet and still do everything you need to do. You could use the help. And Stark won't truly miss me. I'd rather have a life here than back in New York. The few days I spend here each month are better than the rest of the time I spend in New York. You mean more to me than anyone else," Vision responds.

Wanda feels a little uncomfortable. She's been very grateful to have Vision's help the last year and a half. But, at the same time, she's been worried that Vision has been developing feelings for her. The fact that Vision had already stayed an extra day this time made her a little more sure of that, and earlier that day she had actually almost asked for Vision to leave because she was getting uncomfortable. And even though it's been two years since she last saw Barry, she intends to keep waiting for him.

"Vis-" she starts, not quite sure what to say, but then notices something in the shop they're standing in front of.

Vision, worried he pushed too far, says, "I-I'm sorry if I overstepped…" He trails off as he sees her looking into the shop. Turning around, he sees she's looking at a news report on the television. The report is about an alien attack on New York, and that Tony is missing.

"What are they?" Wanda asks, almost to herself.

"What the Stone was warning me about," Vision says, now very serious.

They watch the report for a few more seconds before Vision turns to her and says, "I have to go."

Wanda turns to him, now concerned. "No, Vision. Vision, if you're right, and the Stone was warning you about them...then maybe going isn't the best idea," she protests, worried this may be too much even for him to handle alone.

Vision looks at her and says, "Wanda, I…" He's suddenly cut off by a blade that sprouts from his stomach.

Vision screams in pain as Wanda screams, "Vision!"

The culprit is revealed to be Corvus Glaive. He flings Vision off his glaive, and sends him rolling down the street. Corvus then turns to Wanda, who glares at him and readies an energy blast. But, before she can release it, Proxima Midnight lands behind her and fires a blast of energy from her spear, knocking Wanda flying through a window in a shop across the street.

Corvus and Proxima stalk towards Vision. Corvus forces Vision onto his back then starts trying to pry the Mind Stone from Vision's forehead. Vision screams in pain, while Corvus smiles sadistically.

Wanda quickly recovers from the attack from Proxima, and leaps into the window sill. She sends two energy blasts at Corvus and Proxima, knocking them flying back. She then uses her powers to lift Vision into the air, then takes flight herself. She flies over to a courtyard adjacent to the street they were on, pulling Vision along behind her. She has a bit of a rough landing, but quickly spins around and uses her powers to cushion Vison's fall. She then uses her powers to draw him under one of the arches on the side of the courtyard.

"The blade. It stopped me from phasing," Vision gasps as Wanda tries to help him out of sight.

"Is that even possible?" she asks as she sets him down against the wall and examines the wound.

"It isn't supposed to be. My systems are failing," Vision gasps as Wanda starts using her powers to try and close the wound. Vision gives a single chuckle and says, "I guess I should've left yesterday after all." Wanda looks up at him and smiles reassuringly.

A noise off to the side draws their attention. They turn their heads, right as Corvus Glaive grabs Vision and leeps out of the passage and back into the courtyard.

"Vis!" Wanda cries out. She is about to go after him when she hears noise behind her. Glancing back as she takes shelter behind a pillar, she sees Proxima Midnight land in the courtyard behind her, adjacent to the first. She peeks out from behind the pillar a second later, only for Proxima Midnight to nearly stab her in the head. Proxima leaps into full view and strikes at Wanda with her spear, which Wanda barely manages to block with her powers.

Wanda is completely on the defensive, desperately trying to block or deflect Proxima's strikes. Their fight carries them out into the courtyard.

As Wanda blocks a strike from the other end of Proxima's spear, the one that's a blade instead of three prongs, she hears Vision's scream from the roof of a neighboring building. Desperate to save her friend, Wanda leans back and uses her powers to throw Proxima into a bus behind her. She then uses her powers to fly up to the roof of the building, where she finds Corvus Glaive again trying to use his glaive to pry the Mind Stone from Vision's forehead.

Corvus senses her presence, and turns to face her. She growls, "Get away from him," then uses her powers to blast Corvus into the clock tower behind him. She then hurries over to Vision, grabs him, and uses her powers to lift the two into the air. She starts trying to fly away, but down on the ground, Proxima sees them and fires a blast of energy from her spear. The blast hits them and knocks them apart, sending them tumbling down towards the train station. Wanda manages to use her powers to pull Vision close to her, then covers the two of them in a layer of energy to try and cushion their fall.

The two crash through the roof of the train station, and hit the ground on one of the platforms. The impact is more than the shield can completely absorb, and the two break apart. They tumble across the platform, crying in pain, before finally coming to a stop.

Wanda struggles to regain her feet, and sees Vision lying against the fence separating the main platform from the area right next to the tracks. She hurries over to him. "Hurry! Come on! You gotta get up! Come on!" she says frantically, knowing they have to hurry before the aliens find them.

She gets Vision up into a sitting position, but then he grabs her hand and looks her right in the eyes. "Please. Please leave. You must. For the sake of your children," he says.

"I don't abandon my friends," she says firmly.

"Wanda, please," Vision pleads with her. But anything more he could say is cut off when Corvus Glaive and Proxima Midnight crash through the roof, landing about 10 yards away.

Wanda slowly stands and turns to face them as a train begins passing through the station. Corvus and Proxima ready their weapons as Wanda begins to gather energy in her palms, ready to unleash her full powers on them.

Suddenly, Proxima looks at something behind Wanda. Curious, Wanda turns and sees the train passing by. But, on the other side of the tracks, in brief instances where she can see between the cars, she can see a dark figure. Soon, the train passes, and everyone can clearly see the man standing on the other side of the tracks.

Proxima narrows her eyes as she throws her spear at the man. But, with relative ease, the man dodges the spear and catches it. Proxima takes a step back, thrown by this. The man then steps into the light, revealing himself to be Steve Rogers.

Both Wanda and Vision look at Steve in relief. Then, a sound draws everyone's attention. They all turn just in time to see Sam fly up and throw his legs out in front of him, slamming his feet into Proxima's chest and knocking her flying through a kiosk, then circles back around for another pass, launching several small drones at Corvus. Corvus blocks them, but doesn't see Natasha rushing towards him.

Steve throws Proxima's spear to Natasha, who easily catches it and races towards Corvus, who now spots Natasha. He takes a swing at her, but she ducks under it. He tries to turn around and strike her again, but she ducks under the blow and drives the spear into his stomach. Corvus cries out in pain, right before Natasha pulls the spear out and kicks him right in the chest, causing him to lose his grip on the glaive and fall back.

The spear is suddenly yanked out of Natasha's grip and flies back towards Proxima, who is racing to rejoin the fight. However, Steve grabs the fallen glaive and uses it to block the spear. For several seconds, he and Proxima struggle against each other before Steve forces the spear up. Proxima then flips over his head before attacking Steve. Natasha jumps into the fight with her staffs, now combined into one.

For several tense seconds, Steve and Natasha block Proxima's blows. Then, they suddenly leap back, putting some distance between them and her. Proxima is confused for a split second. Then, all of a sudden, a bolt of lightning streaks in and starts circling her. Proxima spins around, trying to find a target. Suddenly, her spear is yanked out her hands, right before lightning hits her in the chest and knocks her tumbling back next to Corvus.

Looking up, Proxima sees Barry, dressed in the Iron Flash suit, standing in front of Steve and Natasha, her spear in his hand. He quickly vibrates his hand and uses it sever the two ends of the spear.

Several yards away, Wanda's eyes go as wide as saucers and start to fill with tears, and her hand flies up to her mouth in shock. After two years, Barry is finally back.

Sam swoops in and lands next to Barry, pulling out his pistols. Realizing they're now outmatched, Proxima looks down at Corvus and demands, "Get up."

"I can't," Corvus responds.

"We don't want to kill you. But we will," Natasha says.

"You'll never get the chance again," Proxima taunts before pressing a button that causes them to be beamed up to their Q-ship overhead. Corvus' glaive is yanked out of Steve's hand and flies up after them. The Q-ship then flies away once they're aboard.

Barry, Steve, Natasha, and Sam watch the ship fly off. Then, the silence is broken by a scream of, "BARRY!"

They all turn to see Wanda, in tears, running right at Barry. When she reaches him, she grabs his head, pulls him to her, and kisses him for all she's worth. Barry smiles against her lips as he returns the kiss.

Steve, Sam, and Natasha smile as they watch the two year overdue reunion. After a few moments, Wanda pulls back, and, with tears streaming down her face, cries, "Barry! It's you! Oh, I've missed you! I...I thought I might never see you again!"

Barry smiles as his mask retracts and he says, "I told you when I proposed. I'll come always come home to you." Wanda lets out a sob and buries her face in his shoulder, crying with joy at finally being reunited with her husband.

Deciding to give the couple a minute to themselves, Steve, Sam, and Natasha walk over to Vision. Sam helps him to his feet, throwing Vision's arm around his shoulder. Vision looks at Steve and smiles. "Thank you, Captain," he says in a soft voice.

Steve smiles as he nods, then says, "We need to get you to the jet."

The four then approach Barry and Wanda. As they do, Wanda finally manages to lift her head off Barry's shoulder. She looks him right in the eyes and says in a choked up voice, "I missed you so much."

Barry, tearing up a bit himself, smiles comfortingly and whispers, "I know. I missed you too. I wanted to come back to you so bad. But I couldn't. Too many lives were at risk. But I promise you now, nothing will ever separate us again like that."

Wanda lets out a choked up laugh and says, "I'll hold you to that." She then kisses him again.

When they separate, both of them look at the other four. "Hey, guys. Thanks for helping me find her," Barry says.

They all smile at him, before Steve says, "We need to hurry. Vision's hurt bad. We need to get him to the jet."

"Okay. Barry and I need to go back to my apartment first to get something," Wanda says. Barry looks down at her in confusion, thereby missing the knowing glances Steve and the others exchange.

"Why?" Barry asks.

"I have some things back at my apartment I can't leave without," Wanda says.

Barry smiles, then picks Wanda up bridal style, causing her to giggle. "Well, give me directions, and I'll have us there in a second," he says cheerfully.

Wanda smiles and gives him the directions to her apartment. She pauses for a second, then says, "Stop outside the apartment first." He looks a little confused, but after 2 years, he is not about argue with his wife. So, he just smiles and races off.

Steve, Natasha, Sam, and Vision all look at each other, smiling happily. "I wish I could be there when she shows him," Natasha says.

"It's not too late to text her and ask her to get it on video," Sam suggests only half-jokingly.

Steve chuckles, then says, "Come on. We gotta get Vision to the jet. This is gonna be a special moment. Let's let them have this moment to themselves. Even if it would be amazing to see." They all nod, and start heading towards the Quinjet, feeling very happy for Barry.

(Wanda's apartment building)

Barry comes to a stop outside Wanda's apartment and sets her down. She giggles a bit and says, "Oh, I've missed that," before giving him a kiss.

Barry chuckles, then asks, "Why did you want me to stop outside the apartment?"

Wanda smiles, then says, "You'll see. Just...wait out here for a minute." She kisses him again, then opens her door and walks into the apartment.

Barry stands out in the hall, wondering what on Earth is going on. He has never known Wanda to be this secretive, and makes him wonder what she's hiding. He knows it must be good, or she wouldn't be so cheerful.

The door opens, and Barry is ready to ask her what's going on. But, the woman who walks out of the apartment is not Wanda.

"Who are you?" he asks.

"I'm Emma. Wanda's neighbor. She's waiting for you inside," she says with a smile. She then turns and walks over to her own apartment.

Barry looks at the door, feeling very confused. He slowly walks into the apartment, wondering what is going on. "Wanda?" he calls out quietly.

"I'm in here," Wanda's voice calls back softly from one of the rooms off the hall. Barry walks to the doorway and turns into the room.

As soon as he sees what's in the room, he stops short. Because the room looks like a nursery. And Wanda is sitting in an armchair, holding two sleeping babies, a boy and a girl, who appear to be about a year old.

Barry stands there, frozen, for at least a minute. His mouth can't even open as he stares at the two babies in his wife's lap. Finally, Wanda gently says, "Barry."

The sound of her voice snaps him out of it. He opens his mouth, but it takes him another second before he stammers, "W-Wanda. Are...are they…?"

Wanda beams at him, tears running down her face, and nods. "Yes. They are. Barry, come meet your son and daughter," she whispers.

Barry remains frozen in place for a few more second. When he does start walking, he feels like his body is acting on its own accord, he's still so stunned. Finally, he drops to his knees in front of Wanda.

He examines them, just taking in the sight of them, hardly able to believe that these two beautiful babies are his children. Finally, he manages to ask, "How old are they?"

"About 16 ½ months. I gave birth on New Years day last year," Wanda answers.

Barry sits there for another moment before tears start to flow. "I can't believe I missed this. Your first pregnancy. The birth of our first children. I'm supposed to be there for you through it all, and I missed it all," he says in a choked up voice.

"Barry. It's okay. I know the only way you wouldn't return to me is if Central City was in danger. I know you probably couldn't even count the number of lives you've saved since I last saw you. I don't blame you for not being there. I only care that you're here now. And we can always have more children," Wanda says.

Barry looks at her, wanting to protest, but can see it in her eyes that she has forgiven him. So, he looks back at his son and daughter, and asks, "What are their names?"

Wanda beams as she answers, "Stephen Pietro Allen and Nora Caitlin Allen."

Barry looks at Wanda in surprise, then down at Nora, then back at Wanda. "You named her for my mother?" he asks.

"Yes. I thought it was appropriate," Wanda says.

Barry looks at Nora, his gaze fixed on her. Seeing his expression, Wanda asks, "Would you like to hold her?"

Barry looks at Wanda, surprised. "Really?" he asks.

Wanda chuckles softly. "You're her father. Of course," she says.

Barry looks at Nora for a moment before reaching out and taking her. Right then, Nora wakes up. She looks around, and her eyes fixate on Barry. To his surprise, she smiles, makes a few noises, and reaches her arms out to him.

"I've shown them photos and videos of you often, so that they'd recognize you when you came back," Wanda explains.

Barry looks at her, tears still in his eyes, then down at Nora. "Hey, Nora. I'm your daddy," he whispers. Nora giggles in response.

As he looks at her, then over at Stephen, Barry feels an incredible feeling of love that he has never felt before. The love of a parent. In that moment, he knows he would die anything for these two. For his children.

Looking at Stephen for a second, he smiles and looks up at Wanda. "Did you name him after Cap?" he asks.

Wanda giggles a bit. "Yes, I did. I felt, that with how much he has helped both of us, and how big a part of our life he's been, he deserved it," she says.

The two sit there for a few moments, then Wanda says, "I hope you don't mind, but I was thinking of making Steve their godfather, and maybe making either Natasha or Kara their godmother."

Barry grins. "I'd agree with your choice, but Cisco made me promise him he'd be our future child's godfather," he says.

Wanda giggles a bit. "Well, like I said, we can always have more children. So, he can always get another chance," she says. They both laugh softly.

After a moment, Wanda says, "We should probably go meet the team. They're waiting for us."

"They can wait. I want to enjoy this moment," Barry says, still entranced by his daughter resting in his lap.

Wanda smiles as she watches Barry with Nora. This is the night she has been dreaming of ever since the twins were born. Even with new enemies coming after them, and Vision badly hurt, right now, in this moment, everything is perfect.

And, I'll end there.

I hope I did a good job with this chapter, and that it wasn't too long, even if it may be the longest chapter of any fanfiction I've ever written.

I knew I wanted to do the scene with Wanda and Vision getting attacked, but Wanda's obviously married to Barry. So, I felt that having Vision being Wanda's supplier of sorts would be a good way to make it make sense as to why he was in Scotland.

I'm going to confirm this right now. I actually came up with the concept of this chapter back when I was still writing Worlds Collide, Heroes Clash, and the reason I had Barry go back to Earth-1 and Wanda stay behind was because it would set up this chapter. I just liked the idea of their reunion and Barry meeting his children too much to pass up.

I have gone over many name combinations since I first thought of this chapter. It wasn't until I was writing this chapter that I finally decided on the names I did. I did consider all the suggestions, but I eventually decided on these two. I chose Caitlin for Nora's middle name in part because it felt like a nice choice, and because Stephen was named for two people from Earth-99, I thought it would be appropriate for Nora to be named for two people from Earth-1.

Also, just FYI. I'll let you all decide who their godparents will be. Candidates for godfather are Steve, Clint or Cisco. Candidates for godmother are Natasha, Kara, or Caitlin. Cast your votes in a review. I'll only consider the listed candidates. I'll announce the winners in the next chapter.

I am going to take a break from this story for at least a week, maybe more. I have been kind of neglecting my other stories to focus on the Worlds Collide series, so I'm going to take a break to focus on them for a little bit.

Until next time, please review and tell me what you thought, and stay tuned!
