Author's Note: I love the chemistry between Wanda and Vis. It's so pure <3

The days after Wanda and Vision's intimate night were filled with contentment and trust. They felt closer than they had been before. She felt comfortable when she talked freely about her feelings from being in the Raft and now being on the run; she trusted that he'd understand and support her, and he did. Vision also opened up about the stress and pressure of trying to maintain loyalty on both sides of this dispute. He said that it hurt having to lie constantly during his meetings with Stark and Ross, but he persevered through it as long as he knew that she was safe.

Their romantic week was full of passion and tenderness. When she woke up scared, he'd be there to hold her in his arms. When he was distracted with worry, she would give him affection. Their heavy exchange of love began to gain the attention of the other three suspicious friends. They questioned how close the two really were, and Natasha, being a female, was bravest of them all to approach Wanda this one particular day...

Wanda sat at the short table in Natasha's hotel room, waiting for her tea to brew. She softly tapped the table's surface, distracted by thoughts of her beloved. She smiled to herself, leaning her head on her other hand which was supported by the table.

The beeping of the machine which brewed the hot water made her jerk suddenly. She took a deep breath, snapping back to reality. She watched as Natasha took two cups of hot water, and began to drop green tea bags into each. She stirred a couple of teaspoons of sugar into both cups, and picked them up, walking over to the table where Wanda was seated.

"Thank you," Wanda said quietly as she was handed the cup of warm tea.

Natasha sat down, brushing her hair out of the way from the sides of her face. She sighed, "So, how have you been doing lately? You and Vision seem to be getting along well." She took a sip of her tea, eyes still focused on Wanda.

Wanda cleared her throat, her mind drifting to her night with Vision a few days ago. Her hands rounded the cup of tea, taking in the sweet warmth that radiated from it. "I've been okay. Yeah, Vision and I have been...doing better than good, honestly. After we cleared the confusion out of the way, I feel like him and I have been closer, more connected on a deeper level." She flustered, hesitating for a moment when she noticed Natasha's look on her face. "Not in that way...um... I mean that we've been connected better emotionally. Our trust has been better than ever." She pursed her lips nervously.

Natasha raised a brow. "Hmm, I know what you mean. Trust plays a huge role in a relationship, emotionally, even physically. I've been noticing that you and Vision have been better than normal. I think that he showed his complete and utter devotion to you when you two talked for the first time after we escaped, am I right?"

Wanda faked a normal smile, hoping that her friend wasn't seeing past her façade. "Y-yeah...Yes, yes, we talked and um...I think it helped me better understand his motivations: wanting to protect me in secret while also keeping his loyalty to The Accords..."

"Okay, Wanda, I'm gonna ask you a question, girl to girl. I'm gonna be blunt, so be honest with me, okay?" she asked confidently.

Wanda bit her lip. "Okay..." she said nervously while taking a sip of her tea, trying to ease herself.

Natasha took a deep breath and took Wanda's free hand. "Did you have sex with Vision?"

She paused, setting her cup of tea down quickly, and coughed from choking on the drink. She put her hand to her chest and took a deep breath. "What...what makes you ask that?"
