One Shot #10 (Cont.) 

Wanda's POV

  I notice that Vision has suddenly become really quiet. He's currently working on analyzing some data of sorts, though I'm not super scientific so sadly I can't figure out what exact data he's analyzing. "Vision, how's it going?" He looks up at me with surprise before answering with "Just fine." I nod and finish eating before heading to the bathroom to take a quick shower and such before calling it a night and going to bed. It takes me awhile to fall asleep but eventually I do, only to be woken up by a nightmare a few hours later drenched in sweat. Wanda just breathe, it was just a nightmare. It didn't happen. Stop trying to psych yourself out. You're fine, at least for now. 

   Whenever I have really bad nightmares, I get out of bed for a bit and have a nice cup of tea or milk depending on the night. If that doesn't work, I dive into a activity that I enjoy doing for a little while in the hopes that it'll be successful in helping me fall back asleep. I decide to start out with making a cup of hot tea and going from there.  When I get to the kitchen, I'm surprised to find Vision there analyzing data still. "Vision, you do realize it's two in the morning right?" He jumps slightly at my voice but relaxes when he realizes that it's just me. "Wanda, you startled me." I sigh. "I'm sorry. I had a nightmare and I have trouble going back to sleep when I have one. Usually making a hot tea or cup of milk helps. If not, I immerse myself in some activity for a short period of time and try going back to sleep." 

   Vision nods understandingly. "I'm sorry that you've been having nightmares. Do you want to talk about it?" "I don't want to unload all of my drama onto you." "Wanda, if talking about it helps you, I'm more than happy to listen to what you have to say." I nod and take a deep breath, telling him in explicit detail about the nightmare that I had, which happened to be about the death of my brother once again. When I'm done, I look at Vision to see what his reaction is like, his reaction being a mix of shock, sadness, and a slight trace of anger. "Wanda, I wish I could take your pain away. I'm truly sorry that you have to bear this pain day in and day out." I put my head in my hands. "I've been having these nightmares for a month now. They only get worse with each passing night." 

   "Wanda I can't say I fully understand what you're going through, but I am here for you." I smile tiredly at him. "Thank you Viz. I really appreciate that." I finish drinking my cup of tea. I'm tired but not tired enough to fall back asleep just yet. "Viz, if wouldn't disturb you too much, can you tell me about you're doing? It seems really interesting." He lights up at that. "I'd love to. I'll be sure to simplify certain terms so you'll be able to understand them." For the next two hours, he goes over what he's analyzing with me and even explains the whole data entry process. I'm pleased. It turned out to actually be interesting and I wasn't entirely sure it was going to be. A loud yawn slips out of my mouth. "Well it's well after four now. I should probably get to bed as should you." He chuckles. "Wanda, I only require a short period of slumber every two weeks. I'm not even due for that period of slumber until next week. I hope you sleep well though. I'll see you for breakfast in a few hours, that is if you're not still sleeping in."

    I laugh at that. "I value my sleep so I'll most likely still be sleeping in." "Well if you need anything at all Wanda, my room is right next to yours. You can come by anytime." I surprise us both by giving him a hug. "Thank you Viz. You really helped me." If he were able to blush, I know he'd be a tomato right now, just like I am. "Well good night and good morning Vision." He chuckles. "Good night and good morning Wanda." I leave the kitchen with a smile on my face and go right back to bed, though this time, my sleep is nightmare free, all thanks to Vision. I owe him a solid. I'll make him lunch to repay him for consoling me tonight. It's the least I can do. Also, between you and me, I want to find every excuse possible to spend more time with him. Spending time with Vision makes me happy.
