"Ah, Y/N," Amanda spoke up as they wandered into a kitchen, "Moving on up. So, where are we now?"
"The Avengers compound," Y/N recognized her surroundings, "It was Wanda and I's first home after Sokovia."
"What about the loud boy?" Amanda questioned, looking around, "Pietro?"
"Pietro was dead, killed by Ultron," Y/N swallowed, "I was to the new country. I was all alone, with just Wanda by my side. And I met Vision and Sam there," she added with a feeble smile.
Present Y/N and Amanda watched as Y/N walked towards the kitchen, opened the door of one of the cabinets, and pulled out a bottle of vodka. She looked around and tiptoed when a robotic voice called for her, "Y/N."
She cursed silently and spun around to see Vision giving her a look of concern. She hid the bottle behind her back and put up a fake smile, "Hey, Viz. What're you doing here?"
"Y/N," Vision gave her a gentle, knowing look, "What do you have behind your back?"
"Nothing," she shrugged innocently.
"It is not good for your health."
Y/N sighed, placing the bottle on the kitchen counter, and leaned against it, "I can't do it sober anymore," she told, faintly. "Wanda and I've been best friends for as long as I can remember. And now, I just want to be there for her."
Vision stepped towards her and leaned on the counter next to her, "I can't act like I know what it is to lose a loved one because I don't. But I do know that drinking and burying your sorrows isn't the solution."
"It numbs the pain for a while," she raised a finger, "Which is more than enough for me."
"Perhaps you should talk about it," the synthezoid offered slowly.
"What makes you think it will make me feel better?!" Y/N spat harshly, making him purse his lips.
She buried her face in her hands with a regretful sigh, "I'm sorry, Viz. I shouldn't have shouted. I sorry. I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings," she apologized profusely, "You're just trying to help—"
"It's alright. Quite understandable," Vision nodded, "Besides, I'm a mere android. You could never hurt me. I do not have human feelings as you might assume."
"Hey, don't say that," she was taken aback at his words, "You're the most tolerable person in this compound. In fact, I even consider you as my best friend," she bumped his shoulder slightly with his.
"You're too kind," Vision smiled, immensely touched by her words.
They remained silent for a few moments until she spoke up again, "It's just," Y/N let out a shaky sigh, "I try so hard to be there for everyone and be their anchor so that I don't have to face my problems that I don't realize I'm drowning. I'm just gonna end up killing myself," she finished with a bitter chuckle.
