Legends Never Die

Chapter Eleven

Wanda stood before the tower, not sure if she wanted to risk going inside. 

But the gentle promotion in her mind encourages her to go to the receptionist.

 "Oh, Miss Maximoff, I'll inform the others you have arrived. They'll meet you on the 70th floor".

 Wanda nodded slowly to the young woman and went to the elevator. 

 "Hello Miss Maximoff, I trust that you will not cause any problems while you are here, yes?" A voice spoke from the walls.

 "Who said that, that doesn't sound like Friday..." her hands ready to defend herself if needed. 

"I am Jarvis, Tony Stark's first AI". 

Wanda was confused, wasn't Jarvis the AI that became Vision? 

Before she can ask, the doors open.

 She quietly walks on the old common floor, and she can hear laughter coming from the kitchen.

 She slowly walks in, and stands in shock. 

There is Vision, in his apron trying to make cookies with a young woman. 

With their backs turned to her, she watches the young woman hand Vision the flour, and a puff of it gets in his face. 

She giggles slightly, and starts to take off her own apron.

 She was wearing a black tank top and biking shorts, with her waist hair braided.

 Wanda didn't notice the blue glow coming from her chest.

 "Alright Vis, Wanda's in the tower, so I'll disappear so you can have your date", the woman said with teasing in her voice.

 "Yes mom-" he froze slightly at his own words.

 "Hey, Vision. It's okay for you to call me mom, you don't have to if you don't want to.." she trails off. 

"I would desire to, but it may take some time". 

They hug briefly, then Vision retorts, "It's better than calling you Mr. Stark '' he said with a laugh.

 The woman smiled at that, "You did call me that for about an hour after you woke up-" she turned to see Wanda standing there.

 "And I've overstayed my welcome" the woman said tensely, facing Wanda. 

Vision kissed the top of the woman's head, "Go have fun with Snowflake and the bots, Tony, I'll be fine".

 Tony nodded and left the other way out. 

Wanda ran up to Vis and touched his face. 

He was pale skinned, and blonde.

 "It's really you..." she said amazed. 

Vision smiled, "Tony did an amazing job didn't she?" 

Wanda's brain finally started processing everything she saw.

 "That was Stark?" She whispered quietly. 

Vision smiled bigger, "Yes! The Infinity Stones saved him and put him in a body worthy of holding everything that is him, the young woman". 

Wanda, confused on how a man she saw die on a battlefield is walking around as a woman.

 She smiled however, for Vision and only because of Vision. 

They spent the rest of the afternoon cooking, talking and watching a movie. 

Tony had cautiously walked into the living room, telling them she was going to cook dinner, and asked if they wanted a specific thing they wanted.

 Wanda looked at Vision with surprise when he asked for mac&cheese.

 "When Tony gave me an arc reactor, it changed my abilities, I can consume food now", he said with a smirk. 

Wanda watched Stark closely, trying to figure her out, there was something that was bothering her about Stark. 

Tony left to make mac&cheese, Wanda walked into the kitchen to watch. 

Tony was the one to break the silence, "Would you like to talk or just watch? As much as I don't trust you or like you, I don't want to ignore you".

 Tony didn't even look up from what she was doing to speak to Wanda. 

Wanda didn't answer, and just watched as she bustled across the kitchen with a comfortable silence. 

She was trying to decide whether or not to look into Tony's mind to find out what happened to him now.

 Footsteps halted her thinking, and Sam, Bucky and a tall dark haired man entered the kitchen.

 "My people are here!"Tony said with a smile, handing each man a bowl of food.

 "Thank you Tony, I didn't know you could cook", Bucky said with surprise. 

Tony looked at Bucky with fake seriousness, "I have a plethora of skills that you will never know of Winter..". 

Sam cracks a smile, "Watch out Buck, she might take your old job". 

Wanda watches, expecting Stark to flip out. 

"Naw, I love Winter too much to do that to him, although I may like Frosty if I was ever able to meet him-without dying of course", she said, touching his shoulder with a ghost hand. 

Bucky pauses at the possibility, "Maybe...he does tend to pop in eveyonce in a while". 

Tony nodded, excited. "Oh, Star Spangled, there's some new equipment in the gym on floor 57 if you're interested, it's big enough to train with your wings down there". 

Sam nods, "Thank you Tony, well hit there after we eat", turning to Bucky, who was already at the elevator. 

"I do not know this person, I am leaving now", he said with a smirk. 

Sam squawks at him, running to catch the closing door. 

Tony shakes her head fondly, and dishes up two more bowls of food. 

Loki sat on the counter, trying the noodles and humming his appreciation.

 "Pretty good right? My own recipe, had time to perfect it over the years". 

Wanda thought over what she said as she handed the bowl to her, 'Years? Maybe she's talking about the five years after the snap..'.

 Wanda decides that she is going to find answers to her questions, by looking into her mind when she's asleep. 

Tony sits at the island, her head on the table with Loki rubbing her back-she looks exhausted. 

A twinge of guilt creeps into Wanda as she see's Loki lead her to the elevator, but she needs answers.

 Vision leads her to a guest room, and leaves to patrol the tower with Bucky. 

Loki snuggled up to Tony in cat form, and she drifted off to sleep, but he was a good distance away so she wouldn't hurt him.

 Wanda did a mental victory dance as she stood outside the door to Tony's mind, only to be surrounded by the Infinity Stones themselves. 

Suddenly, Loki and Stephan Strange were beside her, but it was Wanda they were threatening. 

"Because you have decided you can just go into anyones mind without consent, you will be present for her nightmares...we hope your heart doesn't fail", a female russian voice said, Power pulsing.

 An orange stone floated to Loki and Strange, who were staring at each other intensely.

 "You two are here because you will be the most important people in her life," the California voice said softly, "you will need to know what she fears most".

Oh shit Wanda what have you done? Your going to regret doing that, a lot.
