Darcy's eyes scanned the pop up base that had been constructed around Westview's border. Inside that border was Mary, Darcy's mission was to find out what they were dealing with and report back to Bucky with any information she could find. She felt like she was in over her head, but she wanted to do this. Mary had done so much for so many people, this was something Darcy felt she could do to repay Mary in some way. She deserved peace after everything she'd been through in her long lifetime.

"Ms Lewis?" An agent calls out to Darcy, drawing her attention back to the present.

"Doctor Lewis." Darcy corrects the man. She had earned her title, it was only right they call her by it.

The agent nods and then motions to the main tent/building, "We have your gear set up inside." He instructs and then begins to lead the way to the main tent and Darcy follows.

When Darcy walks inside, her eyes first spot a drone on the outside trying to enter the invisible wall around Westview. "Those drones you're sending in, what kinda data are you getting?" She asks curiously.

The agent crosses his arms and looks at Darcy, "I'm afraid that's highly classified." He states sternly.

Darcy tilts her head with a slight smirk, "You can't see anything?" She asks. When she doesn't get her answer said aloud, she moves past the agent to her small desk with her computers and gear. She slings her backpack off her shoulder, "FBI, Army. I saw the Air Force Office of Special Investigations out there." She states as she bends over and picks up a heavy case and places it on her desk space. "Research Lab, Space Command, too. A bona fide, joint, multi-service response." She lists off and then looks back at the agent, "Really looking forward to the commemorative t-shirt." She teases as she sits down at her desk. "Is there anywhere a lady could get a cup of coffee?" She asks the agent as she hooks up some of her gear to the computers. "You guys look like you might get down with those little pod things. Horrendous for the environment." She rambles.

"Make your assessment, please." The agent states, done listening to Darcy's rambling which means she's doing her job as being herself but not suspicious.

Darcy nods and then turns on her scanner, she watches it fluctuate and then her eyes widen as it spikes, "Whoa..." She mutters in shock. It continues to spike and her eyes widen a little more. "I mean, whoa..." She murmurs.

"What're you getting?" The agent asks as he steps closer to see.

Darcy grabs another scanner and holds it next to her original one to compare as she tries to figure out how Mary could've possibly gotten herself into something this dangerous. "A colossal amount of CMBR." She says.

"CM-"

"Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation." Darcy explains after cutting the agent off.

The agent hesitates, "We've been told the radiation is within a safe limit."

Dacy cringes, "Uh, it is... for now."

"Wait, what do-"

Darcy shushes the agent, cutting him off as she looks over her scanner again. "There are longer wavelengths superimposed over the noise here." She says. She thinks and then acts on her hunch and stands up. She grunts as she tries to lift up the old tv screen. "I got it." She grunts out to the agent. When she turns on the screen and begins to tune into the wavelengths, her eyes widen in shock as she briefly sees Mary and Wanda in black and white. She looks back at the agent with her eyes widened, "I need a TV. An old one. Like, not flat." She states. When she's alone she tunes the screen a bit more and sees Mary clearer, "Found you." She whispers and then proceeds to text Bucky what she found out.

Doctor Boss Lady
I found her.

Srgnt Metal Arm
That was fast.
Where is she?
Is she okay?
Is anyone else with her?

Doctor Boss Lady
Slow down, Bucko.
I found her, but i can't get to her.
No one can.

Srgnt Metal Arm
What?

Doctor Boss Lady
She seems to be in black and white.
I can make out 50's era clothing on her as well.

Srgnt Metal Arm
I'm even more confused than i was
before you said you found her.
But is she okay?

Doctor Boss Lady
She seems to be.
She's smiling from the looks of what i can see.

Srgnt Metal Arm
Then keep me posted.

Doctor Boss Lady
Will do.

Night rolls around as Mary helps Wanda prep the romantic dinner she had planned for Vision. Pietro was helping where he could by getting what Mary needed for food and other things.

Mary perks up as she hears Vision talking with two unfamiliar people. "Can I see you in the kitchen for a moment, Sweetheart?" Wanda says to her husband Mary hears.

"Oh, yes." Vision says nervously as he blows out candles and the couple enters the kitchen.

"Who are those people?" Wanda asks in a panic.

Mary looks between the two and then giggles at Vision's reaction to Wanda's nightgown, "What are you wearing?" He asks.

"Why are they here?" Wanda asks.

"What are you wearing?" Vision asks again in a more suggestive tone.

"Well, it's our anniversary!" Wanda exclaims.

"Our anniversary of what?" Vision asks and Mary gasps.

"Vis." Mary chides her male friend as Wanda pouts.

"Well, if you don't know, then i'm not going to tell you!" Wanda exclaims and walks over to Mary. The friend wraps her arms around Wanda briefly for support.

"That... that man through there is my boss, Mr Hart!" Vision exclaims as he points at the shutters, "And his dear lady wife, Mrs Hart!" He adds and then walks over to the calendar and points at today's date, "The heart on the calendar was an abbreviation!"

Wanda and Mary's eyes both widen in shock, "You move at the speed of sound, i can make a pen float through the air, and Mary controls life itself. Who needs to abbreviate?" Wanda asks as Vision rubs his face with his hands in frustration.

"Darling, listen, it's all romantic to do the candles, the music, that stunning outfit. I don't wanna be unappreciative but right now..."

"Your boss and his wife are expecting a home cooked meal." Wanda jumps to the point and Vision nods.

"Exactly." He says and Wanda sighs.

Wanda looks over to the table and sighs again, "Any chance they'd go for a single chocolate covered strawberry split three ways?" She asks and both Vision and Mary shake their heads. "I might have a better idea." Wanda says and then snaps her fingers and instantly, her nightgown that Vision loved turns into a beautiful blue dress. Vision leaves the kitchen to entertain Mr and Mrs Hart while Wanda tries to plan a meal for them all to enjoy.

Mary looks at Wanda and motions to herself, "Should i leave then?"

"No!" Wanda say to her. "I need all the help i can get with this."

"I'll call Agnes then." Mary states and rushes over to the kitchen phone and calls their new friend.

Soon, Agnes is over by the back door with her hands full as Wanda opens the door and Mary rushes to Agnes to take some of the groceries from her. "Oh, Agnes! You and Mary are life savers!"

"What kind of housewives would I be if I didn't have a gourmet meal for four just lying about the place?" Agnes says and Mary chuckles. "Not that Ralph ever wants to eat anything but baked beans, which explains a lot about his personal appeal, mind you."

Mary tries to grab some things from Agnes to help lay everything out and Agnes accidentally drops a pot, causing a loud clanging sound to go off. "Oh, my!" Mary shouts along with Agnes as they both bend over to pick up the pot and lid.

Wanda and Mary hear Vision shouting to them and Wanda rushes to get Agnes out of the kitchen. "Oh, thank you, Agnes. I think I've got it covered from here with Mary's help."

"Don't worry, sweetie." Mary assures Wanda, "I've cooked for a whole army some days it feels." She says, "I know what to do."

"Are you sure, dear?" Agnes asks, both Wanda and Mary nod their heads. "Many hands make light work. And many mouths make good gossip." Agnes teases the last bit and both Mary and Wanda smirk at Agnes.

"You're so naughty." Wanda tells her new friend.

"Shall i just preheat the oven then, dear?" Agnes asks.

"That wont be necessary." Wanda tells Agnes.

"Oh, all right, then. Well, i know you're in a pinch so this menu can be done in a snap." Agnes says as she's almost out the door but then walks back in as she snaps her fingers. Both Mary and Wanda exchange glances as they both try to get Agnes out of the kitchen. "Lobster Thermidor with mini mincemeat turnovers to start. Chicken a la King with twice cooked new potatoes for your second course." She lists off as Mary and Wanda on each side of Agnes try to escort her out of the kitchen through the backdoor, "And Steak Diane and mint jellies for your main." Agnes says, dusting her hands off with a smile. She then turns to both Mary and Wanda and asks, "Do you set your own jellies, dearies?"

Wanda looks at Mary and the younger brunette knows to take the lead, "Yes, we do." Mary replies to Agnes.

"Good girls." Agnes states with a smile and then as Wanda escorts Agnes out of the kitchen for the final time, Agnes points to the counter. "Recipe cards are on the counter there." She says and as she leaves, she turns to look at the girls, "Bon appetit!" She tells them as Wanda shuts the door.

The moment the door is shut, Wanda waves her hands and the kitchen comes to life. "You think we can do this?" Mary asks her friend.

"We're going to try." Wanda responds as the pots and pans clatter. Mary cringes slightly as she hears Mrs Hart try to enter the kitchen. Mary and Wanda both freeze as Mrs Hart opens up the slider to the kitchen and Vision breaks out into song.

"Yeah, take out the paper and the trash. Or you won't get no spending cash." Vision sings as Mrs Hart turns around to face him just before she sees Wanda and Mary surrounded by floating pots and pans. Wanda stares at her husband, confused. "If you don't scrub the kitchen floor. You ain't gonna rock and roll no more, Yakety yak! Don't talk back." He continues as Mrs Hart begins to break out in dance.

Mary rushes over and closes the sliders to the kitchen and turns to look back at Wanda, breathing a sigh of relief. "Chicken then?" Mary says and Wanda nods.

Wanda waves her hands on the uncooked chicken and then in seconds it's burnt, both women widen their eyes in shock. "Oh, no, too much!" Wanda says and then waves her hands again and the burnt chicken turns into a basket of eggs. "Oh, no, not enough!" She states.

Mary hesitates when she glances around the kitchen and sees the other dishes being prepared starting to go on the fritz. "Wanda..." Mary mutters, trying to help her friend.

"Oh, what was i supposed to do next? Oh, what was the main course again?" Wanda asks herself as she walks over to the hovering recipe cards and looks through them again, "It was... no... no... Steak... Diane!" She shouts when she finds the recipe card.

Vision bursts into the kitchen just as Wanda is levitating the lobsters and it shocks her into throwing the lobsters out the window. "How can i be of assistance?" Vision asks.

"Well the chicken is no longer a chicken..." Mary mutters.

"And the lobsters just flew the coop so the steak is the last man standing." Wanda finishes as she slams her hand on the counter and grabs the recipe for the Steak Diane. "It says here i can cut down the prep time with a meat tenderizer."

"Excellent plan. Where's the tenderizer." Vision asks.

Mary holds it up and nearly hits Vision's head with it. "We're looking at it." She says, Vision then nods and takes the tenderizer as Mrs Hart pokes her head through the sliders. Mary quickly hides behind Vision and he glances over his shoulder nervously.

"Hoo hoo in there!" Mrs Hart says and Wanda turns around to look at Mrs Hart as she grabs the sliders.

"Hoo hoo back to you!" Wanda says in a panic but smiling as she shuts the sliders. "You and Mary finish the meat, find the lobsters. I'll be right back." She tells them.

Mary jumps out from behind Vision with her eyes wide as Wanda tosses her apron at Vision. He puts on his newfound apron, making Mary giggle as she looks out the window to see where the lobsters went. "Does this apron make my butt look big?" Vision teases his friend.

Mary scrunches her nose as she laughs softly. "Yes." She tells him and Vision smiles at Mary. He then raises his hand with the tenderizer and brings it down hard onto the steak, and again.

Until there is a knock on the door. Vision tears out of the kitchen with his apron still on as he and Wanda open the door. Mary pokes her head through the sliders slightly to see Agnes. "Oh, you didn't answer the back door. For you upside down cake." Agnes says, holding out a pineapple for Wanda. Agnes moves to wave at the Harts but then Wanda closes the door.

"What're we gonna do?" Mary asks Wanda when she comes back into the kitchen and grabs a whisk.

"Time to improvise." Wanda says and grabs the basket of eggs.

"Improvise?" Mary asks and then she looks at Wanda and as she cracks the eggs, it dawns on Mary what Wanda wants to do. Breakfast for dinner. "Got it." She says and begins to grab the plates and silverware.

Soon after, Wanda plates all the food and sends it floating out onto the table through the window looking out to the living room. Wanda then wraps her arms around Mary tightly and smiles, "Thank you for everything." Wanda says.

Mary smiles, hugging her best friend back. "Anytime. You enjoy your dinner, i'll see you tomorrow." She says and exits through the backdoor just as she hears Wanda tell the Harts that dinner is served.

Dacy tunes into the tv she finally got as nighttime rolls around. She can hear the SWORD Director talking with people under him "Will someone get me a useful visual, damn it?" He says but laughter enters everyone's ears and he turns around to try and find out where the laughter is coming from. "What is that?" He asks.

"Can i see you in the kitchen, Sweetheart?" A voice on the tv says.

"Who's doing that?" Hayward asks around but no one seems to know the answer until they all turn around and see the tv Darcy has tuned into the wavelengths she had found.

"Who are those people?" The female voice asks.

"What are you wearing?" A male voice asks.

"Why are they here?" The female asks another question.

"What are you wearing?" The male asks his question again, only deeper.

Suddenly, Darcy is surrounded by the agents and director as they all want to see what Darcy is watching. "Well, it's our anniversary." The female says.

"Our anniversary of what?" The male asks, genuinely confused.

"Vis." A new female voice chides the man.

"Well, if you don't know, i'm not going to tell you!" The first female voice says in a tizzy.

An FBI agent by the name of Jimmy Woo leans towards Darcy to look at the tv, "Is that..?" He asks, not really believing what he's seeing.

"Yeah, it looks like her." Darcy says as her eyes slightly train on Mary.

"You move at the speed of sound, i can make a pen float through the air, and Mary controls life itself. Who needs to abbreviate?" Wanda Maximoff says on the tv.

Darcy looks up at Woo, "Look, i know it's been a crazy few years on this planet, but he's, dead... right?" She asks, "Not blipped. Dead."

"Excellent plan. Where's the tenderizer." Vision asks on the screen.

"We're looking at it." Mary says, holding up the tenderizer for Vision. A few agents gasp when they see Mary but none show any emotion as Hayward looks around to see who gasped.

"Is that... Doctor Mary Barnes?" Woo asks with curiosity but also concern. Mary Barnes had strong, very strong, connections with pretty much everyone high up in the status quo. Whether it be the King of Wakanda, Tony Stark, Secretary Ross. She knew a lot of powerful people.

"It sure looks like her." Darcy says.

"What am i looking at?" Hayward asks suddenly. "You?" Darcy turns to look at Hayward, "What is this? Where's this coming from?" He demands answers.

Darcy looks back at the tv, and waves her hand towards anywhere, "Out there."

"You didn't answer the back door. For you upside down cake." A new woman sayson the tv and hands Wanda Maximoff a pineapple.

"Is it authentic?" Hayward asks.

"I'm not sure how to answer that." Darcy responds.

"Is it happening in real time? Is it recorded, fabricated?" Hayward states.

Darcy shrugs, "I don't know. I don't know. And i don't know." She responds.

Hayward sighs, "What do you know." He asks.

Darcy then motions to her gear and electronics. "My equipment registered an extremely high level of CMBR. That's-"

"Relic radiation dating back to the big bang." Hayward says.

"Yeah." Darcy says and then motions back to the tv. "Entwined was a broadcast frequency. So i had your goons pick me up a sweet vintage tv. And when i plugged this back boy in, voila, sound and picture." Darcy explains.

"Dinner is served." Wanda Maximoff says with a smile.

"So you're saying the universe created a sitcom starring two Avengers and the sister of Captain America and wife of the Winter Soldier who just so happens to be the Royal Advisor to the King of Wakanda?" Woo asks.

Darcy hesitates and then looks at Woo, "It's a working theory." She says, "And don't forget she's a world renowned doctor." She tells him, trying not to fangirl over Mary slightly.

Woo nods, "Right." He says, still mesmerized by the sitcom.

"Get me a transport back to headquarters now." Hayward demands. When he moves to leave, he turns back to look at Darcy, "Are we recording this?"

"Never stopped." She repsonds.

"I need immediate analysis. Now, people. Let's go!" Hayward shouts his orders then leaves to go back to SWORD headquarters.

Once he's gone, Darcy looks back at the only person still there beside her, Woo. "He's a charmer."

Woo smiles and nods at Darcy, "Great work." He says and then leaves to go back to his own work.

"Hey, thanks!" Darcy says with a smile and then turns around to see no one there anymore, "Maybe i could get that coffee now?" She asks. Darcy sighs and then pulls out her phone.

Doctor Boss Lady
I have more.

Srgnt Metal Arm
Any visuals?

Doctor Boss Lady
None i can send to you.
But it appears that Mary, Wanda Maximoff
and Vision are in a sitcom world.

Srgnt Metal Arm
Sitcom?
Like I Love Lucy and The Dick Van Dyke Show?

Doctor Boss Lady
Exactly like those.
How do you know about those shows?

Srgnt Metal Arm
I watched them with Mary and Steve.
Mary loved them, she watched I Love Lucy with
our first born daughter as a child.
So she got both of us to watch them.

Darcy smiles softly at the picture appearing in her mind of Mary, Bucky, Steve and Becca all watching a sitcom as a family. It makes her heart then hurt when she looks back at the tv screen and sees the credits rolling and knows that Mary is somehow involved in that. Separated from her family.

Doctor Boss Lady
She's living it now.

Srgnt Metal Arm
She always liked sitcoms, tv shows.
She liked the escape they gave her.
Steve says that Mary and Wanda would
often watch sitcoms together at the compound.

Doctor Boss Lady
I'll keep that in mind.
And I'll check in when i can.
I promise i'll find out what's going on.
So you can have those times with her again.

Bucky doesn't respond for quite a while until Darcy's phone lights up in her lap and she looks down at the response. Her eyes widen at the name at the end of the response, thinking it would be Bucky. But it's not.

Srgnt Metal Arm
Papa says thank you. -Becca
