Author's Note:

Acacle drew the picture up top, and she's awesome! Also, I'm back hope I'm not late! I prbly am, but I'm still here!!




I collapse onto the leather couch, Nat doing the same next to me. "Congrats Wanda!! You're an Avenger!!"

I smiled back at her. "Yeah.."

Sam pulls up a chair. "Now that you're an Avenger. You need to have a really cool hero name."

"Hero name?" That sounds kind of stupid, but I was still curious. "Well what do you have in mind?"

"Well, what are your abilities anyways?" Sam asks taking a sip of his coffee.

I frowned, "I don't know myself." I twist my hand the red whisp dancing around my finger tips. I point to the magazines on the table, making it fly across the room. "It's quite complicated."

Sam smiles in amazement. "That's witchcraft!!" His eyes widened "Witch? Like the sound of that?"

Nat shook her head, "Witch?" She smacks Sam over the head. "Is that what you think of her? I expected from you!?"

"OW!!"

I winced, "Um, well I kind of like it..."

"You do?" Nat says raising an eyebrow. "You do!?" Sam says with a smile.

"Well, I'm still not comfortable with someone calling me just witch." I replied.

"No worries, we can add something else." Sam says looking at me. "Well it has to be about you, though."

"The great witch?"
"Lame.."
"Red witch!"
"That sounds like she has her period non stop."

Sam sighs, "Okay, we suck at name making." Natasha rolled her eyes. 

"If I may be any assistance..." we all looked up to the direction of the voice to see Vision wearing a dark shirt that Stark obviously picked out for him.

"I suggest something else that fits, Miss. Maximoff better." He tilts his head to the side like an innocent kitty.

"Mm, at least a robot will be better than us!!" Sam says, but as he said that I could see Vision look down but smile to cover it up.

"Red, has a harsh tone to the word witch. So maybe something more distinct, scarlet is a tone of that's both bright and wicked which can add to the other word witch." By the time Vision was done talking, Sam fell asleep while Natasha and me just stood there stunned by the thinking that came along with such a little name.

"So... Scarlet Witch?" Nat says.

Vision nods, "Precisely. It's only if Miss. Max-" he stops suddenly remembering my wish of calling me Wanda. "Wan-da wishes to use the name."

"Scarlet Witch." I say the new name I'd carry through my heroic career for the first time. "I like it..." I crack a smile for Vision. "Thanks Vis,"

"Vis?" The AI looks at me curiously. "Why did you only pronounce three of the letters in my name?" He asks.

"It's a nickname.. if you don't like it-" I start to say but get cut off by Vision.

"No! I-I like it..." he stutters, but puts on a shy smile. It's almost cute, wait what.

Sam looks at me then at Vision. "Uh... Vis? Do I have to ask Tony to tighten your screws?" Sam says but Nat scoffs at him slapping him again on the head.



















"Miss. Maximoff, I've been meaning to ask you something." Vision says while I flipped through my book with my red hex. With him studying the chess pieces on the living room table.

"Hm? And Vis, I thought I told you to call me Wanda." I said, not leaving my eyes from the words on the page.

"Ah, of course however it feels unnatural for me to call someone without a proper Ms or Mr." Vis says holding up a queen and a king chess piece.

"Unnatural? If you don't want to call me Wanda then just call me whatever you want." I replied looking at him and the pieces.

"Eh," almost dropping the pieces. "I never said I didn't want to. It's just a habit I must break."

"I see," returning my attentuon to my book. "Anyways, what was your other question."

"Well." Setting down the chess pieces on the board. "I wanted to ask, why name yourself as a witch. According to the internet's definition a witch is an entity with cruel behavior, who has the ability to control illusions and dark magic."

"Uhhh.... I mean.." I shook head, why is talking to Vision like talking to a dictionary?

"God, do I fit that definition?! I mean I can make nightmares but are my powers really dark magic. And I am cruel I sided with Ultron!!" I said, clutching my head.

"Wanda!" He shouted, the first time I heard him say it without any fuss, even he touched his mouth just to make sure he said it right.

"To me, I don't believe you really are a witch. You aren't cruel." Vis says the last sentence softly. "You sided with the Avengers took down Ultron and nonetheless join them even with the lost of your brother-"

"Vis." His name brought a sign to stop. Pushing his boundaries far enough.

"I- am sorry. I never meant to.." Vision says not knowing what else to say I only smiled. "Its fine."

Which left us in awkward silence.

Vision pointed at the chess board. "Would you like to play, Wanda?"
