love you always

2.2

Rhodey and Pepper walked into the kitchen of the compound both sitting down on the stools. Pepper grabbed an apple from the fruit bowl.

"When did you say Tony would be back?" Rhodey asked her.

"Not for another two weeks, he said he would be sometime helping the kid in New York," She replied taking a bite out of the apple.

"So when Wanda and Vision next check in?".

"He won't be here,"

"I gather you didn't tell him those two were with each other again?".

Pepper sighed "No I didn't think he would be too happy to hear it,".

"Smart choice," Rhodey said walking away to his room "night pepper".

"Goodnight Rhodes,".

Before Pepper got up she phoned Wanda and Vision.

"Hello?"

"Hi Pepper how are you?"

"I'm good thanks Wanda, do you and Vision remember you guys have to check in with us in two days?"

"Yeah we are getting ready to leave tomorrow, will Tony be there?"

"No,"

"Ok, we will see you soon then,"

———-

A loud crashing noise rang through the compound. Pepper sat up in bed startled, she looked over at the clock to see it read 2am.

"What on earth?" she muttered as another crash rang out "FRIDAY, run a scan for heat sources in the compound please,".

"There are three heat sources coming from the compound Mrs Stark,"

"Thank you FRIDAY," She got out of her bed and grabbed her gun from under the desk. Slowly creeping out of her room she bumped into Rhodey.
"There's someone in the compound," He said to her.

"Yeah no shit Rhodey," she whispered "I think they are in the kitchen,".

As they walked towards the kitchen they heard a loud groan and they looked round the corner to see a figure laying on the floor in a heap.

Pepper ran forward to the person kneeling down next to them. "Aurora? Is that you,".

A cold wet sensation engulfed Peppers hand and she looked down to see a pool of blood splattered on the floor.

———-

"AAHHHH!" Wanda sat up clutching her head in her hands. Vision looked up from the sofa "What is it?".
Wanda gasped "M-my head, the pain is back,".

"The visions aswell?" Vision walked over to her sitting down next to Wanda. She nodded her head slowly "But this time there's more, this time someone else was there aswell," .

Vision pulled her into a hug "When we go back to the compound tomorrow we will talk to Helen Cho, see what she can do to help, I promise,". Vision helped Wanda back into her bed.

"Vis I was thinking, once we checked in with the team why don't we go back to Scotland and stay there, buy a flat instead of staying in a hotel?".

"That would be good I would like that very much," Vision replied. 

He looked back at Wanda five minutes later to see her back asleep "I love you Wanda," he whispered quietly. A slight reply escaped from the girls lips "I love you as a friend as well," she muttered.

Vision walked out of the room out onto the balcony "I love you more as a friend Wands even if you can't get over Aurora,".

———-

Aurora gasped pulling herself upright in the bed "Where am I?" she looked around and noticed a blonde woman sleeping on the couch next to the bed. It didn't take her long to realise that she was back at the Avengers compound and the woman on the couch was Pepper. "Shit I can't be here," she groaned and went to pull the drip out here arm.

"ARGH," she winced and looked down to see fresh stitches on her stomach.

"Aurora your awake,". Pepper sat up on the couch looking at the girl "How do you feel?".

Aurora laughed slightly and leaned back "Like I was hit by a bus,". She groaned as she moved her arms into a comfier position.

"Aurora what happened to you?" Pepper walked over  and sat on the bottom of the girls bed.
