Ch#7- Home.
[Cut to Scotland, where Vision and Wanda Maximoff are sharing a room. Wanda is in bed while Vision, in a human glamour, watches out a window.]
"So this is where you get to. Huh." Tony commented.
[high-pitched trilling]
Vision: [gasps and holds his hand to the Mind Stone in pain]
Wanda Maximoff: Vis? Is it the stone again?
"Is it happens more than once?" Steve asked.
"It didn't happened single time till now." Vision sruggs.
Vision: It's as if it's speaking to me.
Wanda Maximoff: What does it say?
Vision: I don't... I don't know. But something...
"It's giving warning to you about the impending fight." Loki explained.
[The stone trills again and Vision flinches. Wanda takes his face in her hands. Vision turns his head so he can kiss her left palm, then presses Wanda's hand to the Mind Stone.]
Vision: Tell me what you feel.
[Wanda gestures, her hand emanating her red swirling energy. She seems confused.]
Wanda Maximoff: I just feel you.
[They kiss. Cut to later, where the two are going on a stroll.]
Wanda Maximoff: So there's a 10 AM to Glasgow to give us more time together before you went back.
Vision: What if I miss that train?
Wanda Maximoff: There is an 11.
Vision: What if I missed all the trains? What if this time, I didn't go back?
Tony resigns at another of his friend is ready to leave him. No one noticed other than The Spies and Steve. All of them give him a regretful look.
Wanda Maximoff: You gave Stark your word.
Vision: I'd rather give it to you.
Wanda Maximoff: There are people who are expecting me too, you know. We both made promises.
Vision: Not to each other. [he puts his hands on her shoulders] Wanda… For two years, we've stolen these moments, trying to see if this could work. And... I don't know. [stammers] You know what, I'm just gonna speak for myself. - I, I... I think...
Wanda Maximoff: It works.
Vision: It works.
Vision: Then stay. Stay with me.
"Vision, you broke her heart, your dead body look like Fury. Remember that. Next time it won't be a Baton, it will be an Explosive Arrow. Ask Loki." Clint threatened in a sneering low voice. {Like Snape😎}
Vision gulped. Wanda gave Clint a 'look'. Natasha nodded approvingly. Tony and Rhodey shifted in their seats, not wanting archers anger on them. Steve, Bucky and Sam looked uneasy. Scott smirked comparing Wanda and Clint to Cassie and himself and mentally noted the threat for using himself. Fury, Hill and Carol raised their eyebrow. Strange and Hamara were indifferent. Rest of Guardians sniggered quietly.
[Wanda looks down, but then her eyes and attention drift to her left.]
Vision: [suddenly very uncertain] Or not. If I'm overstepping…
[Wanda steps over to a better view of the TV in the kebab shop at which they had stopped, drawing Vision with her. It shows coverage of the invasion of New York, the alien antagonists, and the disappearance of Tony Stark.]
Wanda Maximoff: [fearful] What are they?
Vision: What the stone was warning me about. [he kisses her hand] I have to go.
Wanda Maximoff: No, Vision. Vision, if that's true… Then maybe going isn't the best idea.
Vision: Wanda, I… [Corvus Glaive appears suddenly behind Vision, stabbing him through the back. Vision screams, loses his glamour to return to his green, red and gold appearance, and is thrown down into the street.]
"What!?" Tony and Bruce exclaimed.
T'challa was shocked. He knew Vision's body was made of Vibranium and that Glaive just went through it as if cutting butter.
Wanda Maximoff: Vision! [she circles her hands, gathering up energy for a counterattack when Proxima Midnight blasts her from behind, knocking Wanda across the street and through a bistro's window.]
"Oh no. They arrived." Said a hyperventilating Peter.
[Corvus Glaive pins Vision down and digs the point of his high-tech glaive into Vision's forehead in an attempt to extract the Mind Stone.]
[Wanda commits her own surprise attack, blasts both of the aliens away, then lifts Vision and herself into a nearby courtyard, from where Wanda drags him to rest in a concealed alleyway.]
Vision: The blade. It stopped me from phasing.
"How!?" Shuri wondered fearfully.
Wanda Maximoff: Is that even possible?
"It should not be." Bruce said.
Vision: It isn't supposed to be. [his voice distorts electronically] My systems are failing. [Wanda gestures over his gaping wound, using her magic to knit him back together. Vision continues in a gasping, wry tone] I'm beginning to think... we should have stayed in bed.
"Not the time to jock." Sam said with side glance to Vision. As Clint was glaring at the android with a devil's glint in his eyes.
[Corvus Glaive suddenly arrives, knocking Wanda aside and grabbing Vision into the air]
Wanda Maximoff: Vis!
[Corvus flies away with Vision, slamming him against several walls. Meanwhile, Proxima engages Wanda with her staff weapon and they too begin to fight.]
"This isn't good." Rhody said silently.
Corvus Glaive: [to Vision] Give up the Stone, and she lives.
"Do not give it up." Wanda said with conviction.
[Vision flies with Corvus to the roof of what appears to be a church, riccocheting off the stone church tower and onto the metal-clad roof]
[Simultaneously, Proxima and Wanda fight below, staff weapon versus magic energy hands until Proxima uses the blaster effect of her weapon to knock Wanda meters away, stunning her as Proxima leaps down, brandishing her weapon within bare inches of Wanda's face, only held back by Wanda's powers]
[Furiously, Vision pummels Corvus, then throws him across the roof, firing a beam from the Mind Stone. Corvus uses his glaive to deflect the beam, splitting it into several beams, cutting up Edinburgh's ancient stone like butter, until one branch finally reflects back at Vision, slamming him into the wall behind him.]
"Yes." Scott and Quill yelled simultaneously.
[Down below, Wanda has blocked Proxima's staff once again when she hears an agonized cry from Vision. Desperation strengthens her to throw Proxima through the burning lorry sliced in half by the split Stone beam, stunning the alien. Wanda then flies up to the roof where Glaive has pinned Vision and is again attempting to remove the Mind Stone.]
"Not again." Thor said sadly.
Wanda Maximoff: Hands off.
"Jealous much." Natasha asked seeing Wanda's fearful look and trying to divert her mind.
[Wanda casts a bolt of magic which throws Corvus back through the wall and down a shaft, then flies the two of them away again. Proxima, who has recovered, shoots a bolt from her weapon, causing them to fall from the air and down through the roof of Edinburgh Waverley Train Station. Wanda crawls over to Vision, who cannot muster the strength to stand.]
Wanda Maximoff: [hushed voice, pleading.] Come on. Come on. Come on, you gotta get up. You gotta get up. Come on. Hey. Hey. We have to go.
"Yeah get up." Gamora said monotonely but with a hint of anxiousness.
Vision: Please. Please leave.
Wanda Maximoff: You asked me to stay... I'm staying.
"Not the time for your bentars." Hill comments.
Vision: Please.
Wanda Maximoff: Get up.
[Behind them, Proxima and Corvus crash through the roof and advance on them, brandishing their weapons. Wanda moves protectively in front of Vision, building power in her hands.]
[An express train passes behind Wanda, and Proxima cocks her head as if aware of another's presence. Confused, Wanda also turns and looks over her left shoulder.]
"Who's there?" Quill asked.
[As the last train car passes, we see a silhouette on the far side of the platform. Proxima throws her weapon at the shadowy figure, but it is deftly caught just before the figure steps from the shadows.]
"5 bucks, it's Rogers." Fury smirks. No one dared to bet their money.
[The figure we now recognize a bearded and furious Steve Rogers as he steps into the light. Vision and Wanda look hopeful and relieved.]
"Look how relieved they look. As if His presence means they are saved." Rocket mockingly whispered to himself.
"I am Groot (I think it means)" Groot replied quietly.
[While all parties are distracted, Sam Wilson swoops in and kicks Proxima across the platform and through the closed café's security gate and furniture. Swooping around, he fires on Corvus.]
"Ah the sneak attack. Captain bring the distraction." Carol nodded to herself. Everyone who heard also agreed.
[At the same time, Captain America throws Proxima's weapon to Natasha Romanoff who engages Corvus, ducking under his swing, stabbing him in the gut and executing a flying kick to knock him backwards.]
"They didn't expect retaliation." Thor commented.
[Proxima, who has rushed back to the fight, summons her weapon back to her hand and attacks Black Widow. Captain America leaps forward, rolls, scoops up Corvus's dropped glaive and holds her off. Black Widow joins in with her own escrima sticks. While the three are fighting, Falcon returns and again kicks Proxima backwards; she scuttles over to the prone Corvus. Falcon draws both of his Steyr SPP submachine pistols on the couple.]
Proxima Midnight: [to Glaive] Get up.
Corvus Glaive: I can't.
Most murmured a 'Good' or 'Great'.
Natasha Romanoff: [coolly] We don't wanna kill you. But we will.
"Should have killed them." Natasha wished.
Proxima Midnight: You'll never get the chance again.
[Proxima Midnight and Corvus Glaive depart as they are beamed up. The glaive is snatched from Cap's hand as well.]
Sam Wilson: [to Vision] Can you stand?
Vison's injuries came in front of everyone mind at that comment.
Vision: [electricity shimmers over his surface, and his voice distorts] Thank you, Captain.
Steve Rogers: [nods] Let's get you on the jet.
"You are quiet rude Terran." Drax comments to which Mantis nods.
Core avengers besides Cap laugh at Rogers being called rude. The mental image is hilarious.
Natasha Romanoff: [closing the doors to the Quinjet, while addressing Wanda] I thought we had a deal. Stay close, check in. Don't take any chances.
"Don't worry Wanda it's her way of saying 'I was worried'." Clint said seeing Wanda's pained face. To which he get a jab in his abdomen by the vicious assassin Black Widow. He just shrugged it of laughing at Natasha's Half-hearted attack.
Wanda Maximoff: I'm sorry. We just wanted time.
Sam Wilson: Where to, Cap?
Steve Rogers: Home.
"Home?!? Don't tell me you are going there. Ross would rost you alive." Tony exclaimed worried.
**Infinity**

(Oh.. a prank with me! You will regret it, Natasha. But first my target would be Rogers.)
