Avengers Headquarters, one month later, 2016
News Reporter: Eleven Wakandans were among those killed during a confrontation between the Avengers and a group of mercenaries in Lagos, Nigeria, last month. The traditionally reclusive Wakandans were on an outreach mission in Lagos when the attack occurred.

The television switched off as Wanda and Millicent's names was mentioned. Millicent tilts her head to see Steve standing in the doorway.

Millicent and Wanda gasp as Vision phased through the bedroom wall.
"I forgot he could do that." Millicent whispered to herself.
"Well, as I've studied your energy signature these few weeks, you could phase through matter just like me, if you wanted or desired to," Vision said as Millicent eyes were wide open, Steve and Wanda were speechless. "Quite remarkable is it not."
