Chapter Ten: Intrusive Feelings

"Here we are!" Vision declared as we pulled into the driveway of a small, yet beautiful, abode.

"Your house is lovely," I told him, smiling.

"Thank you!" he replied happily.

We all stepped out of the car, and Vision lead us up the sidewalk to the front door of his home. He turned the doorknob and pushed it forward, exposing a quaint living room and a stairway to the second story of the home. A young woman with red hair and kind eyes stepped out of a nearby room to greet her husband.

"Vision!" she exclaimed. "Welcome back!"

"Hello, Wanda," Vision replied, kissing her forehead. "Apologies for not warning you earlier, this was somewhat of an emergency, but I brought some of my work friends over."

"Hello, Wanda!" I extended my hand to her, and she shook it. "Vision's told me all about you. My name is Wonder, and this is my boyfriend, Technoblade."

"Call me Techno," Techno said.

"Lovely to meet you!" Wanda replied. "What's the occasion?"

"Well, Wonder and Techno had gotten in a spot of bother," Vision explained. "and now their house has been blown up by my boss and his friends."

"Oh, well that's a shame," Wanda said.

"And that's not the worst of it," I told her. "I was on episode five of Squid Game!"

At this, Wanda's kind expression melted into a look of pure rage and hatred. A strange red light appeared in her hands as her eyes seemed to glow with anger.

"I'm gonna kill those sons of bitches..." she muttered.

"Language, Wanda!" Vision exclaimed. "The kids are somewhere nearby!"

The weird red magic disappeared from her hands, and her eyes returned to their normal state.

"Oh, right," she said. "Thanks for that."

"Please tell me you guys have Netflix," I pleaded.

"We sure do!" an unfamiliar voice replied.

I turned to see a blur of motion and color zoom from another room and appear right beside me. The source was a man with spiky silver hair and cool uncle energy.

"W'sup?" he greeted. "The name's Pietro, and I'm Wanda's brother."

"Nice to meet you- wait, you said you had Netflix?!" I exclaimed.

"Yeah, we do," Pietro informed me. "along with Disney Plus, Peacock, and a bunch of other networks, so you can watch whatever you want! I recommend you don't watch Squid Game in front of the kids, though. Wanda and Vision are trying to keep their innocence as long as possible."

"Got it," I replied, praying that I didn't have to interact with the children at all. This proved to not be the case, because two small vermin- I mean kids- came running into the room as well.

"Pietro, come play Fortnite with me!" one of the children shouted. He looked like a miniature version of his uncle.

"No, Tommy, I wanna play Roblox!" the second child wailed.

"Fortnite is better than Roblox, Billy!" Tommy declared.

"Is not!" Billy retorted.

"Is too!"

"Is not!"

I turned and ran up the nearby stairway, two steps at a time. Vision followed me close behind, and led me to a small bedroom.
