AN: Enjoy!

Vision was slightly confused by the strange warmth that had crept over his cheeks when Wanda kissed his forehead, and a slight fluttery feeling in his stomach.

They were strange feelings.. Strange, but somehow pleasant, and he wouldn't have minded if it happened again. However, he didn't really have too long to think about it, because Wanda returned with her snacks, settling down in the co-pilot seat once more.

"I forgot about snacks.. I like snacks." She seemed rather happy, and this made Vision happy too.

"Then we'll have to keep well stocked up" Vision smiled.

"So.." Wanda blushed a little, "Where are we going?"

"Well, I've narrowed it down to a few options.." Vision highlighted his selections and enlarged the star chart for a moment, so Wanda could see better. "What do you think?"

Wanda, paused for a moment, brow furrowed as if concentrating. Her soft green eyes turned red, a full transformation rather than the flicker he had seen before, and she pointed.

"That one."

"Uh.. why that one?" Vision questioned, not entirely sure what was going on.

"There aren't too many people there.. and the ones who are won't hurt us."

"Are you sure?"

"I'm sure." The red in Wanda's eyes faded back to their usual soft green.

"Alright. That one it is." Vision didn't need to know anymore. He trusted Wanda's judgement.

A few moments after Vision set a course for the planet in question, they heard a crash further back in the ship. Wanda immediately rushed to investigate, and as soon as Vision set the ship to Autopilot, he followed.

Billy was still sleeping, but Tommy was missing.

"Oh no.." Wanda panicked.

"It's alright, he can't have gotten far.."

"You don't understand, Vizh. Now that he's not drugged up anymore, Tommy can.."

There was a second crash, and they ran to find the source of the noise. Tommy had made into one of the Side Of Life's storage rooms, a little blur zipping about.

"Run really fast?" Vision finished Wanda's last sentence for her. "I was already beginning to suspect that might be the case.."

"Yes.." Wanda snagged Tommy by the back of his shirt the next time he passed by, and the little boy pouted. "Pietro was fast too. Everyday I told him he should run, but they always took us out separately, and he wouldn't leave without me.."

"None of that," said Vision gently. "What happened to your brother wasn't your fault."

"But.."

"They trapped you in a vicious cycle," Vision continued. "Pietro wouldn't leave without you, and then you couldn't leave without Tommy and Billy.. It was just a giant cruel circle of emotional blackmail. It probably would have kept going on, except.."

"You broke us out.." Wanda smiled softly at him.

"I did" Vision blushed.

"Again, thank you.." Wanda blushed herself. Tommy was clutching a little pair of goggles, and she took them from him to return them to the storage room.

"Wait.." Vision grabbed her hand to stop her, and they both blushed again. "He can keep those if he wants. They could protect his eyes when he runs.."

"Okay.." Wanda handed the goggles back to Tommy. "Thank you."

"You're welcome.. So, just for future reference, what can Billy do?"

"I'm not entirely sure yet.."

Early the following day, Vision landed The Side Of Life on their chosen planet, and helped Wanda get the boys dressed and settled in their Hover Cradles.

"Well.." He smiled, "Shall we go see if we can find somewhere to call come for a while?"

"We shall" Wanda took his hand in her own, smiling, and Vision felt the same strange little flutter in his stomach before they headed out, the twins floating either side of them.

After a short walk, they found a small town, and soon, a little cafe.

Vision saw a shadow move in the corner of his eye, and felt a strange, slightly unsettling sensation, as though he was being watched.

"Order something nice for you and the boys.." He pushed some money into Wanda's hand. "I'll go scout the area.."

"Are you sure?" Wanda asked. "We can come.."

"Just stay here" Vision instructed, his tone gentle, but stern. "Please. I will be right back."

"Okay.." Wanda agreed, though clearly slightly reluctant to do so.

Vision set off, still feeling slightly unsettled, one hand on his blaster, until he turned, moving around behind the Cafe building, and found his feet swept out from underneath him, and a volley of weapons aimed directly at his face.

"You don't belong here.." snarled a green skinned woman, pointing a sword at him.

Vision gulped, gazing nervously around at his other assailants, a blue skinned woman heavily armed with cybernetic implants, a Raccoon with what looked like a small sentient tree on his shoulder, a burly, scarred alien man, and finally..

"Quill?" Vision squinted, recognising the last of his attackers as Peter Quill, another former Ravager.

"I'm sorry about this, Vision, really" Quill replied, and Vision noted, he did sound genuinely sorry. "I always kind of liked you. But you shouldn't have come after me. Now we're going to have to.."

"Coming after you?" Vision interrupted him, very confused. "I wasn't coming after you.. In fact, I am as surprised to see you here as you probably are to see me."

"You mean.." Quill lowered his twin blasters, "Yondu didn't send you?"

"No," Vision replied.

"I am Groot," said the little tree.

"Whaddaya mean, you believe him?" asked the Raccoon in disbelief. "You don't even know him!"

"I am Groot."

"Oh, he has kind eyes? Sure, that makes perfect sense.."

"I still say we blast the metal man!" cried the burly alien.

"I agree" added the cybernetically enhanced woman.

"Hold up.." Quill raised a hand. "I'm going to need a bit more information.."

"Me too" said the green woman. "Peter said you're a Ravager. If his old boss didn't send you, then why are you here?"

"I had no idea that Peter was here, or that Yondu was still looking for him. And as you can see, I am no longer a Ravager" Vision tapped his chest. "I am here because I am looking for somewhere safe for.."

He saw a flash of red in the corner of his eye, and the small strange gathering turned to see Wanda, her eyes burning, hands surrounded in scarlet energy, the twins hovering just behind her in their cradles.

"Get away from him" She growled. "Now."

Vision grinned, feeling rather proud.

"I am here with her."
