The Witch 《Scarlet Vision》

Chapter 27: Curiosity

A couple of days had passed ever since the training with Vision, but for some reason my mind still lingered amongst the memories that took place a few days ago. My powers that usually could pass through someone's mind without a trace, without myself being harmed in fact, all ideals before were broken with the exception of Vis. 

But how? 

Was it because my powers came from his stone. I remember he did tell me that once. A wide range of questions started to cloud my head. We were connected but in what other way. I wanted to know more of course. I wanted to dive into his mind. The first time, I saw destruction but that was part of Ultron. This time I was bombarded by information. I wanted to know what else he had felt. The situation was quite peculiar. 

Peculiarity led to curiosity. However, curiosity never did anyone good at least in my situations. 

Was that going to stop me?

Nope. 

Which is why I'm here in the living room with the kitchen right in front. I crawled up the sofa, my knees against the plush seat as I watch Vision steadily walk through the kitchen, fixing the tableware and the plates that were in the dish rack. 

I felt like the predator studying it's prey despite the fact that the roles should've been the other way around. This was so stupid, but I wanted my questions answered as well. 

A part of me told me to go for it now, the other part said to just ask him. But hell, I knew that would never work, it was better to go in now. At least if I were to pass out he wouldn't know I would be on the couch far from his reach, but near enough for him to be in my reach. 

I clear my chaotic mind, brushing out the consequences and worries from my head. I generate my powers, letting them crawl from my fingertips. The red hex gliding through the air, like a fog underneath the floor. 

My powers drift towards Vision, crawling up his legs, to his chest, stretching across his muscles. My control soon reaching his head. 

The feeling of regret instantly came to me, however as one side begged me to stop, the other was telling me to go on. My power circled around his stone, and finally dove through his mind. I close my eyes, so that I shut out reality and took in his thoughts. 

Once I stepped into his mind, I found that it was bare as a tree's bark. It was a white room with nothing in it. No door that showed my sudden entrance nor was there one open for an exit. 

I walked around the white space, touching the walls as I reached the corners. It wasn't real, of course it wasn't. However, it felt what a regular wall would feel like. 

Was this all there was? 

I refused to believe that, everyone's  mind was complicated, one's rooms can be decorated with pictures as lovely memories while the other's would have their wallpaper scratched up from their messed up madness fitting perfectly with their messed up minds. 

There was no way his mind was so simple. 

I pushed against the wall, hoping for it to budge. The walls weren't real it was just his mind playing tricks with mine. However, no matter how hard I pushed against it, nothing worked and I couldn't get past his mind. 

I tried to push forward again, but suddenly- "Wanda!!"  

The control broke apart, my connection shattering as I was thrown out of the room of his mind. Receiving no warning, I opened my eyes to reality to be faced with Vision in real life. 

His grip was on my wrist, his hand loosely holding it with such gentleness. However, I was faced with his grim face, his expression uninviting at all. I almost curse under my breath, but I held it back, knowing that he would hear it from how close he was.
