"What was that?" Wanda gasps as she sits up in her bed and hears a loud thud coming from outside. She uses her powers to turn on the lamp, then turns it back off. When she hears the loud noise again, she turns on the light a second time and turns it off. Vision wakes up and removes his facemask.

"Wanda?" Vision says.

"Yes, dear?" Wanda says.

"Are you using your powers to turn on the light?" Vision asks.

"Yes, dear," Wanda replies.

"Allow me, sweetheart." Vision gets up from his bed and turns on the light. He walks over to the window and pulls back the curtains to look around.

"What do you see?" Wanda asks.

"Only your lovely rose bushes." Vision answers.

"That's all? Are you using your night vision, Vision?" Wanda asks.

"I assure you, my love, I see nothing amiss." Vision responds. "You have absolutely no reason to be frightened..." Vision lets out a loud yelp when he hears the loud thud. He jumps and quickly hides under his covers.

"You were saying?" Wanda says.

"Actually, I did overhear a couple of lads at work remarking on a few unsavory characters settling in the neighborhood." Vision says. "Now, who knows what those ne'er-do-wells might be up to? Robbing houses, vandalizing property."

"Walking through walls, moving objects without touching them," Wanda adds.

"Wanda, darling, you can't be suggesting my colleagues were referring to us. They could very well be talking about Kaitlyn and Will. Mostly Kaitlyn since Will doesn't have any powers." Vision says. They hear another thud, and Wanda moves their beds together. "One of us should really determine the source of that sound."

"Yes, one of us should," Wanda says, looking at Vision. They both gasp when they hear another thud. "Oh, this is getting ridiculous. I'm going to take a look."

"Oh, no! Darling!" Vision exclaims

"Oh, no! Darling!" Vision exclaims. She uses her powers to swing the curtains open and sees a branch hitting the panes.

"Well, I think we handled that well," Wanda says.

"Yes, I must say I'm rather proud of myself." Vision says. "And look how you seized on the opportunity to redecorate."

"This is better, isn't it?" Wanda asks. She uses her powers to turn the two beds into one wide one.

"Wanda, darling?" Vision says.

"Yes, dear?" Wanda says.

"Get the light." Vision says. They get under the covers together, and Wanda turns off the light.

The next day, Vision is in the living room dressed as a magician. "Ladies and gentlemen, for my final trick, I bring you the Cabinet of Mysteries." Vision says. He waves his wand, but nothing happens. "Darling, that's your cue."
