AN: Enjoy!


Vision couldn't help feeling nervous as he headed back out, although he knew that the vast majority of demons kept most of their activity to night-time hours. Wanda was very unusual in that regard, considering that he had first met her during the day. Then again, Wanda was very unusual in quite a lot of ways.

Most demons, he thought, wouldn't kiss an angel. Wouldn't fight to save an angel, definitely not to the point of risking their own life. And yet, for some reason, Wanda had done both of those things. Vision was quite certain the kiss was just to tease him, but it was still unusual behaviour. Wanda had turned pretty much everything he'd learned about demons on it's head in a single day. Vision wouldn't go quite so far as to say that everything he had learned in training was wrong, but he was ready to concede that things may be just a little more complicated than he thought.

Unfortunately, Vision was so lost in his thoughts that he didn't realise that he was about to collide with a teenage boy until it was too late. The boy's arms had been heavily laden with papers, which went flying everywhere as Vision crashed into him.

"Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry" Vision immediately dropped to his knees to help pick everything up.

"It's alright" The boy replied with a shy smile, a slight sparkle in his soft brown eyes. "I should have been paying more attention."

For Vision, who had Become used to getting a frosty reception from the area's teens the previous day, had been pleasantly surprised by the boy's friendly nature, until he spotted a name scrawled at the top of one of the papers: Peter Parker. This was the boy that Wanda had said may need his help. Vision looked at the boy again for a moment, then back to the papers, many of them covered in complicated diagrams and chemical equations.

"You certainly have quite a lot going on here, Peter..

"How did you know my.."

"It is on your papers" Vision chuckled.

"Oh, right" Peter blushed, running a hand through slightly messy hair. "There's a big science competition coming up, and the prize money would really help out my Aunt.."

"Then I wish you the best of luck. It was nice to meet you, Peter" Vision handed back his papers.

"You too, Mr, uh.."

"Vision."

"Right. Well, Bye Mr. Vision" Peter hurried off. "I need to get to school.."

Vision watched the boy as he departed, wondering why, exactly, Wanda thought he needed help.


Vision's next stop was to the supermarket, where he picked up a few regular groceries, as well as a wide variety of snacks and drinks. He wasn't sure what Wanda liked. Not that it really mattered, seeing as she would only be staying as long as it took for her to heal, but he wanted her to feel welcome. He probably shouldn't want a demon to feel so welcome in his home, but she had saved him.

Next, he dropped into a medical centre to hire a pair of crutches, so Wanda would be able to more easily get around. Again, a little part of Vision wondered whether presenting a demon with something that would allow a demon free reign of his apartment, but he was quite sure, at this point, that Wanda was not like other demons.


Vision entered his apartment to the sound of Wanda's laughter. It was a beautiful, melodious sort of sound, and Vision's heart skipped a.. No, none of that. His heart, Vision stubbornly told himself, was not doing anything unusual, because Wanda had told him not to fall in love with her, and so he would not. An angel couldn't fall in love with a demon, after all, especially not when he had only known her for a day.. though strangely, it already felt like a lot longer.

"Wanda?" He called out.

"Just watching TV" Wanda called back, voice slightly teasing. "You'll be happy to know that I didn't destroy anything while you were gone.

Vision blushed, heading further inside to find Wanda on his couch, her broken leg propped up on a stool.

"I brought you these" Vision propped the crutches beside her, then fetched the rest of his shopping bags from the Hall outside the apartment, taking them to the small Kitchen area and beginning to put things away. "I've got more drinks and snacks, I wasn't sure what you liked so I just got a variety.." Vision tended to ramble a little when he was nervous, and so he rambled now. It didn't help that rather than answer, Wanda was simply staring at him, strangely entranced. "Uh.. why are you staring at me like that?"

"Oh" Wanda blinked, shaking her head as if trying to clear her thoughts. "You're just so.. nice. It makes sense I guess, considering what you are, I just haven't had anyone be this nice to me since.. never mind." A mischievous smile spread over the demon's face, and she patted the empty space next to her. "When you're done over there, come sit with me."

"Well.." Vision hesitated, but he didn't want to be rude. "Okay." When he was done packing away the groceries, he moved to sit beside Wanda.

For a while, they simply sat, Vision keeping his eyes fixed on the television. However, Wanda, while keeping her injured leg propped up, slowly shuffled closer to him. And when Vision turned towards Wanda to ask what she was doing, she reached up and cupped his cheeks, kissing him, deeply. Vision's eyes widened. He was stunned, and more than a little confused, since her actions, in his eyes, were completely at odds with the thing that she had told him not to do that morning.

On the other hand, wow, kissing her felt good. And so, entirely against his better judgement, Vision kissed her back.
