"Vision Hold on!"

Wanda dashes over the hard ground, racing to her partner's aide, a gash in his abdomen she immediately begins to mend.

"He kept me from phasing."

"How?"

"I don't know."

The robot hissed discomfort through his teeth. The witch doesn't want to move him, but she doesn't have much choice as Corvus Glaive and Proxima Midnight are recovering from her blast, quickly approaching their position.

"Come on we need to go!"

Wanda helps Vision to his feet and the pair narrowly escape an attack from Midnight, but the blow separates them enough for Corvus to knock Vision a good distance over the ground. The robot getting to his feet and luring the Black Order member onto a nearby rooftop to give Wanda space to put down Midnight. A golden beam is aimed at his opponent, only to be deflected by Corvus' glaive, the concentrated energy sparking as it struck the concrete below, slashing between Midnight and Wanda. The forced separation was short-lived however, and they soon return to the clash, red whisps dancing around the witch's fingers before her attention is drawn elsewhere by a cry of pain. Only narrowly regaining focus to block a strike from Proxima, sending the black order member sprawling backwards as she lunged to Vision's position. Corvus had the Mind Stone pressed under his glaive, sending waves of agony through the other man as he was unable to move. Thrown back by a red pulse, Corvus was quickly replaced by Wanda as she kneels beside her partner, soothing his pains until Midnight had them joining Corvus in falling through the glass ceiling of a building. Soon realizing they were cornered, Wanda stands protectively in front of Vision, readying herself to block an attack before a familiar shield sends the black order flying backwards. The witch has recognition cross her eyes and quickly turns to see Steve emerge from the recesses of dark in the building, allowing Wanda to properly care for Vision as soon the recently revealed Sam and Natasha join in to take on the enemies that had caused the pair such grief. Two of the three victorious heroes now approaching the two crouched on the ground, their looks slightly disapproving.

"You swore to keep in contact."

Steve starts, the normal stern mom voice creeping into his tone. Vision winces, guilt obvious in his face.

"I'm sorry. I just thought we needed time."

"I understand, but time isn't something we have much of at the moment."

Natasha chimes in warmly. Sam lands behind the other two with a cocky smirk.

"Let's get the lovebirds on the ship."

Steve smiles a little.

"Aw, bucky wore off on you. You made a bird joke."

"I-! I did.. son of a-"

"Language~."

Star Spangled Tight-ass warned, having Sam just fly off to the ship. Natasha follows on the ground, leaving Steve to offer a hand to the duo.

"Come on, let's go home."

Having met up with Rhodey and Bruce, the Avengers are discussing their options.

"Thanos is after the Mind Stone... the only way I can think to stop him is-"

"Vis no. We'll find another way."

"What if there is none!?"

"I think there is!"

Bruce butts in with an expression that has everyone else wondering what he has in mind,
