quiet revenge

Vision was heartbroken after Wanda threw him six feet under. While he lay there, trying to piece himself back together, he wondered why. He was in love with her long before Wanda was ever in love with him. Vision was sure she figured it out right before he blew War Machine out of the sky. Right before she was sent to a floating prison. He had wondered which side she would take, after the Accords, but he never thought it would be against him. Never him.

He didn't think about how they would treat Wanda when she was sent off the prison. Vison thought at the very least they would treat her with a little respect. She was still human after all. But that was all changed one day. He was still living at the compound with Tony and James. It was lonely and empty. Sometimes he'd walk into Wanda's room and sit on the bed, wondering how she was. For whatever reason, he couldn't connect with her.

On that day, James was in physical therapy and Tony was on the phone with Secretary Ross. Apparently Wanda and the others had escaped out of prison with the help of Steve Rogers. The man who went against Tony and lost. Vision was outside Tony's office when he overheard the conversation. Tony had put the Secretary on hold. Vision had to hold back a gasp. Tony was going to just...let them escape? Maybe he felt bad. Maybe he just didn't want to deal with Steve anymore. He didn't know the reason. All he new was that he wanted to reach Wanda. But he held back in trying to connect with her right away.

Tony then left his office, distracted. He didn't notice Vision standing right outside of it. Vision peeked inside and saw pictures of all of the prisoners in their cells. Scott Lang looked fine, as did Clint Barton. Sam Wilson had many bruises all over his face, but he was fine as well. Then his eyes fell onto Wanda's picture, and his mechanical heart splintered into thousands of shards. She was in a straightjacket and had a collar around her neck. Her face was gaunt and she looked as though she hadn't gotten sleep in a long while. Compared to her other cellmates, Wanda was being treated like an animal. Vision sat down, feeling just as broken as when Wanda buried him.

Then Vision became angry. More than angry. He was furious. He wanted to kill Secretary Ross. He wanted to ask Tony if that was what he wanted. If that was what he wanted when he fought his best friend. It took him weeks before he had truly calmed down. During that time he avoided Tony and James, who sensed a change in his mood and behavior but didn't question it. He was a superbot, after all. He barely went out, spending much of his time in Wanda's room, more than he had before. Every once and a while Tony or James would ask him if he needed anything. He always said no, but he was lying. He needed Wanda. He needed her touch. He need to feel her soft brown hair again. To look into her chocolate eyes and know that she was safe with him, that he would protect her.

Vision didn't protect her, though. He didn't keep her safe. Vision lost her in a wave of war and hate. And now he didn't know where she was. At least, until Wanda reached out to him. He was so relieved, he would've cried if he didn't have more composure. Once she cut herself off, joy flowed through him like a river. He was going to see Wanda. He was going to see Wanda again.

He decided not to tell Tony. Leaving him, going off to see Wanda, would be his quiet revenge. He had nothing to pack, but he brought with him Wanda's favorite necklace. He'd give it to her in hopes she'd forgive him.

Vision landed somewhere outside of the city. Immediately he knew she was there. Wanda had somehow broadcasted her location, and he knew how to find her now. He then decided to try out phasing. It was something he had been practicing in the Avengers compound, but had not tried it in the real world. He phased and followed Wanda's trail. No one gave him a second glance. He smiled and walked a little faster.

Soon enough, he had Wanda in his arms, kissing her. He had forgotten about the necklace. It didn't matter, All that mattered was that she was here with him now. He was never going to let her go.
