One Shot #7 (Cont.)

Vision's POV

 Time Skip... A Few Weeks Later...

   Wanda and I have been working very hard to prove that we belong here and I think that we're making good process. The only thing that rattles me a bit is that her and I just got summoned into a meeting led by Director Nick Fury. Nick Fury is an intimidating man. I have yet to face him and quite frankly... I was hoping that I'd never have to. Well I should go fetch Wanda in case she doesn't know that we have to meet with Director Fury. I'm halfway to her chambers when I notice her heading straight towards me. Wanda gives me a nervous smile. "Are you by any chance meeting with Director Fury?" I nod and return her nervous smile with one my own. "I am and I know that you are too." I extend an arm for her to take and she does. We talk together in silence towards what could potentially be the call of our fate.

    I look at Wanda hesitantly. "Are you ready?" She hesitantly nods, indicating that it's time to step inside the board room for this meeting. I open the doors and both of us are quite shocked to see all of the Avengers and Agent Maria Hill in addition to Directory Fury. Oh boy... this may no be good... Wanda and I are our seats and prepare for whatever blows we may receive from everyone. All eyes are on us as Director Fury stands. "Vision and Wanda, thank you both for coming to this meeting. I'll try to keep this as short as I possibly can. You two have been observed deeply for the past few weeks. We've been monitoring your training progress, behavior, private interactions, etc. We've noticed that you two seem to be... fond of each other." Wanda and I share a look before looking back at Fury. 

    Wanda is the first one to break the silence. "I respect you Director Fury, but I'd like you to be honest. Are we Avengers or a threat to society? All of you except Steve seemed to think we were monsters hell bent on destruction. I'll admit that I was brainwashed by Ultron for awhile, but I wasn't in my own mind. I think that's why Steve wasn't an asshole to us because he knows from experience with his dear friend Bucky, who's still trying to battle his demons." I go over to Wanda and wrap an arm around her. "What Wanda means to say is that you were all too quick to judge us. I know all of you have made quite a few mistakes despite being the world's strongest heroes. You're all still battling demons to this day. Am I right?" They all reluctantly nod in agreement. I glance down at Wanda and notice that she's blushing. My heart begins to race and I end up heating up a bit myself, though it's not noticeable given that I'm already red all over the place. 

   I pull my arm away from Wanda for a bit because I don't want to give anyone the idea that Wanda and I have a romance going. I'm not going to lie, I do like her, but I won't act on my feelings because it's not appropriate for several reasons. I may have just been born recently, but I've figured out human emotions for the most part and I know how to manage mine quite well. For example, I know how to hide my affection for Wanda in public. I look at Director Fury intensely. "So Director, tell us, what is Wanda and I's fate? Are we apart of the team or are you going to lock us up in some scary prison to live out the rest of our days?" He sighs. "We're still a bit skeptical of you both, especially Wanda, but you two have indeed proven yourselves worthy of a spot on this team. Congratulations, you're officially considered Avengers in the eyes of the rest of the Avengers." 

    Wanda and I look at each other and grin from ear to ear. This is such a relief. I really wanted nothing more than for the both of us to be apart of this incredible team. We really do deserve to be here and will be great assets to the rest of the Avengers. Director Fury and Agent Maria Hill leave the room while the Avengers themselves linger behind for a bit. One by one, they all apologize for mistreating us and thinking that we were villains. Despite lingering feelings of resentment towards them, Wanda and I forgive them all. We can to have a clean slate. We want to fight our battles as a team rather than against one another. 

    Now I know the question that's tickling your ivories right now, which is will I ever confess my feelings for Wanda to Wanda? Perhaps one day, if I feel that the feeling could be mutual. In the meantime, I'm going to cherish having Wanda as my best friend. In other words, I'm taking it slow, one day at a time. 

Hoped that you guys liked this part of this one shot! I also hope everyone has a good Thanksgiving tomorrow. I might update but I wanted to say it now in case I don't. :) -Mary
