Despite what many may have thought, Agatha Harkness didn't mind children. In fact, she quite liked the company and curious nature of most children. Her own son, not so much. 

One evening, Agatha was babysitting at the Maximoff household. While Billy and Tommy were smart enough to be fine on their own, Wanda felt it best that they have someone watch them. Both the redhead and Vision were on a date at the time; not having had one since the boys were born. Their brunette neighbour was more than willing to take care of them for her neighbours. She often found that Billy and Tommy were the perfect company. 

At that very moment, the twins were sitting in front of the TV watching Adventure Time and talking amongst each other. Meanwhile Agatha stood in the kitchen, making them each a sandwich. Unfortunately, Harkness wasn't a very good cook so she decided to go with a safer option rather than chancing it. While she could be a cold, heartless creature at times, not entirely her words, she was gentle with them. Well, with most kids really.

While buttering the bread, Harkness let out a soft hum. She was partially off in her own world, minding her own business. And, she did make sure Scratchy was looking after the boys while she made them both a snack. The brunette added their desired fillings and then placed the sandwiches on separate plates. She took a deep breath as she left the kitchen, walking back to the living room. 

'' Hey kids, I have food. ''  Came her cheerful voice. She felt much more at ease with the boys for some reason. Both of which smiled up at her as she placed both plates on the coffee table. She then sank down on the sofa in between them, her pale blue gaze flicking towards the tv. Her brows furrowed, not really understanding what was going on within the show. 

'' Thanks Agnes! ''  Both boys said in unison. She smiled softly as she looked at them both. They were the sweetest kids she knew by far. They were well mannered and, well, they cared.

'' Of course, dears. ''  She continued happily. She found herself swiftly wrapping an arm around each boy, giving them a soft squeeze before letting them move to eat. Moments like these were calm. Agatha liked that. 

While the twins ate, they remained mostly in silence. The only noise that could be heard was the dialog from the tv show they were watching. Luckily for the witch, Billy soon interrupted the silence. 

'' Hey Agnes, will you play with us? ''  He asked rather hopefully. Tommy nodded along with his younger brother's words. The brunette let out a hum in thought, pretending to think of her answer. However, she nodded soon after. 

'' Sure. What did you want to play? ''  Agatha asked softly, before being handed an Xbox controller. She stared blankly at it as she took it. Harkness was prepared for many things; video games were not one of them. She cracked an unsure smile but didn't protest. She didn't want to. If that's what they wanted, she'd try her best. 

'' Uh.. okay..! How about.. one of you sets whatever this is up and one of you takes the plates to the sink? I'll wash them later. ''  She added, looking between the two of them who both nodded. Billy got up, taking the plates to the kitchen and putting anything they didn't finish in the bin, while Tommy set up the game. Agatha shifted to get slightly more comfortable and watched as the older of the two turned on the console and put a disc into it. She then watched as the tv screen changed and the word 'Minecraft' came up on screen. Billy returned to her side moments after, slowly taking the controller out of his neighbour's lap to turn it on. 

Tommy grabbed the other two, handing that to Agatha before quickly loading a new world. Agatha watched quietly, clearly unsure of what she was supposed to do. 

The twins helped her join and tried to show her how to play. She did keep forgetting which button placed blocks or destroyed them. Needless to say, she died multiple times. However, they were having fun and that's what mattered. In fact, they had so much fun that they ended up playing for an hour and a half before the game started to give Agatha a headache.

Agatha leant forward, placing the controller she was using down on the table. She then let out a sigh and rubbed the bridge of her nose. 

'' Hm.. Why don't we do something else for a while? ''  She questioned with a soft smile, as she looked at both boy. Agatha glanced over at the clock to check the time while the boys thought of a response. 8pm. She soon came to realise that it was getting quite late and the perfect idea popped into her head. 

'' We... could watch a movie? ''  She suggested, looking back at Billy and Tommy who both agreed. So, the boys turned the game off and scurried over to the tv cabinet which held their dvds. And, after that and ten minutes of arguing over the movie they wanted to watch, the boys soon settled on watching Cars. (A/N : i love Cars) They put the dvd in and both returned to the sofa where they both slowly cuddled up to the brunette who was just happy if they were. Then the three of them watched the movie together rather contently.

An hour into the movie, Wanda and Vision returned home. As they walked up the path to their house, they noticed only the living room light on and assumed that the boys were upstairs in bed. After fumbling over the keys, Vision managed to unlock the door and they let themselves in. Of course, he held the door open for Wanda who slid past him and looked around. The first thing she noticed was the movie playing which caused her to frown. Vision joined her moments after, gently taking his wife's hand and heading towards the sofa. And that's when they came across the cutest sight. 

Agatha and the twins had fallen asleep in front of the tv. Agatha had an arm wrapped around Tommy, who was half on the sofa and half hanging over the edge. She also held Billy's hand as they slept. Honestly, Agatha needed it. And, for once no nightmares plagued her slumber. The three of them looked so peaceful.. Neither Wanda nor Vision had the heart to wake them so they simply kissed their sons goodnight and headed upstairs. Well, not before Wanda took a few pictures and turned the movie off.
