VISION OPENED UP the curtains to the window. His head still aches, which was weird since a synthezoid shouldn't really feel the pain humans could. But, this was different. It was a warning.

The stone in his head trilled, letting out a small high-pitched noise that filled his head. He groaned, and Y/N stood up from the bed and went over to him.

"So this has been happening for how long?" He asked Vision.

"A few days now...it's as if it's speaking to me."

Vision decided to come visit today in his human form, also coming to ask for input on why the stone in his head was acting this way. He didn't know what to think of it.

Wanda got up from the bed too, "What does it say?"

"I don't...I don't know, but something." He replied.

Wanda put her hand over his head, palming the stone. She wanted to understand what he was feeling.

"What do you feel?" He asked.

Wanda's crimson energy ran along the Mind Stone and Y/N stood by watching it occur.

"I just feel you." She answered.

Vision nodded, it wasn't the answer he expected, but felt good knowing that his personality and feelings were still there.

"How about we take a walk? Some fresh air might do you some good." Y/N offered as he went over to grab his coat.

"That sounds nice, actually." Vision responded.

THE THREE FRIENDS walked along the lone streets of Scotland as they conversed. Wanda and Y/N held hands as Vision strolled on the young man's right.

"So there's a 10:00 A.M to Glasgow which would give us more time together before you went back." Wanda told Vision.

"What if I miss that train?"

"Well, there's an 11:00 A.M one too." Y/N chimed in.

"What if I miss all the trains?" Vision stopped and faced his friends, "What if this time I didn't go back?"

"But you gave Stark your word." Wanda rebutted.

"I'd rather give it to you both. What's the point of this back and forth?"

"There are people who are expecting us too. We both made promises."

Wanda and Y/N were still on the run and they needed to check back with the rest of the team whenever they were finished with their alone time together. This time they kind of overdid their stay.

"But not to each other..." Y/N added and turned to Wanda. She raised a brow and faced him too.

"We've stolen moments here and there...", Y/N turned to Vision, "...trying to make things work with Vis. I don't think it's fair to exclude him."

Vision continued to listen as the Secret Avenger spoke to him.

"You're like a brother to me Vision. You're family to us. If you want to stay...then stay."

Wanda smiled at Y/N's words and so did Vision.

"It could work." She chimed in.

"It could." Vision said.

"Besides...it'd be nice to have new blood in the Secret Avengers. Or whatever it is you're made of." Y/N added.

"Yes...clearly." Vision said with a chuckle.

Among the laughs, Wanda peeked over Vision's shoulder into the window of a shop. A television was playing, and she walked over to it. Y/N and Vision noticed her and went over to the window as well.

The screen showed footage of an attack in New York, it reminded him of the Chitauri invasion back in 2012. But this was different. Wanda gasped.

"What are they?" She asked.

Vision kept staring at the screen through the glass. He understood what this meant now.

"What the stone was warning me about."

The television then showed that Tony Stark was missing. Vision took this as a sign to go and help.

"I have to go." He turned around and told the two.

"Vision..." Y/N said. "If what the stone is telling you is true...then maybe that's not a good idea."

Vision turned around as he started walking away.

"Y/N, I—" Vision was interrupted by a spear stabbing into his back and through his chest. Y/N and Wanda were in shock.

"Vision!" Wanda yelled.

Vision groaned in pain as he reverted back into his synthezoid form. Corvus Glaive threw him away and growled at the couple.

Wanda channeled her psionic energy and was about to shoot the alien with an orb, but Proxima Midnight appeared behind her and shot her with a blaster, sending her flying through a shop window. Y/N quickly transformed into his Specter form and flew at Proxima, pinning her to the wall.

Corvus went up to Vision on the floor and stabbed the tip of his spear into his forehead, trying to pry the stone out. Y/N noticed this and turned around admist the struggle with Proxima.

"Vis!" He yelled.

Promixa took this time to grab Specter by the neck and fling him into a phone booth. Wanda had recovered and leaped out of the shop, shooting energy blasts at Corvus. She knocked him down, and Proxima was about to shoot Wanda again. Specter flew at the Black Order member and grabbed her neck like she did to him. He spun around and flung her into a building, Proxima crashing through several walls.

"We got to get Vision out of here." Specter called out to the witch.

Wanda used her powers to lift the injured Vision and the three flew away from the area. The stopped near an alleyway and Wanda laid him against the wall.

"The blade, it stopped me from phasing." He explained with a groan.

"Is that even possible?" Wanda asked.

"It's not supposed to be."

"Whatever juiced up spear they had sure did a number on you." Y/N chimed in.

Vision's voice began to distort, "My systems are failing..." Wanda tried to repair his wound using her magic as he continued, "I'm beginning to think we should have stayed in and had some tea..."

Suddenly, Corvus Glaive charged in and tackled Y/N. Specter flew up and started battling the alien, each of them exchanging punches and kicks. Below, Wanda ran into Proxima Midnight again and was protecting Vision.

Specter and Corvus crashed through a column and landed on top of a church. The alien got the upper hand and pinned the hero against a wall with his staff.

"Let us have the synthezoid, and the girl lives." He spoke.

"I'm not the negotiating type." Y/N groaned, and used his phasing abilities to escape his grasp. Specter grabbed Corvus's head and slammed it against the wall, then threw him off the church onto another roof afterwards.

Specter flew towards Corvus, evading his spear's swing with a dodge before engaging in more combat with him. Specter punched the alien three times in the abdomen before throwing him aside again. He shot an orange energy beam at Corvus, but the alien deflected it with his spear.

The beam ricocheted off and shot down towards the area below where Wanda and Proxima Midnight were fighting. Corvus shifted the spear to the right and caused the beam to shoot back at Y/N, knocking him back.

Corvus charged at Specter and thrusted his spear at him. He tried to dodge, but ended up stabbing into Y/N's side. He yelled in pain, and a smile grew on Corvus's face.

Suddenly, a yellow beam shot at Corvus and sent him crashing through the wall. Vision had saved Y/N, and the synthezoid exhaled as he got an a knee. Y/N ran over to him holding his side.

"You saved my ass." Y/N breathed out.

"Your probability of dying was low...but yes, let's just say I did."

Wanda flew over to the two and landed on the roof. She had just flung Proxima Midnight into a bus.

"We should move. They're not gonna stay down for much longer." She said.

Wanda used her powers to lift Vision again, and the three started flying away from the town. Below, Proxima recovered and aimed her blaster at them. She charged it up then pulled the trigger, knocking all three of them out of the sky.

They crashed into a train station. Y/N rolled over on the floor landing near Vision. Wanda was the first to get up and went over to help them.

"Come on, get up."

She noticed Y/N's wound as well. She sighed with the newfound knowledge of both of her close friends being somewhat injured.

"It's fine...I can handle it." Y/N grunted as he got up and laid Vision against the railing.

"You both have to leave..." Vision struggled to talk.

"Hey, we're not leaving you. You said you wanted to stay with us...so that means we're staying with you." Wanda replied.

Corvus Glaive and Proxima Midnight crashed through the glass roofing structure and faced the three. They brandished their weapons, preparing to finish the job.

Specter and Wanda stand side by side in front of the sitting Vision. Wanda channeled crimson energy on both palms, and Specter raised one fist to channel his own orange-colored energy. The were prepared to do whatever it takes to protect their friend.

Behind them, a train came through. They looked back, and saw a silhouette through the gaps of the train cars. Once the train passed by, the silhouette was completely seen. Proxima threw her spear, and the man grabbed it.

He came out of the shadows, and once the light hit his face, Y/N, Wanda, and Vision knew who it was. They smiled.

Steve Rogers. Captain America.

Suddenly, the Falcon flew in and kicked Proxima through a glass barrier. He then shot rockets from his pack at Corvus, who hit them away with his staff.

Steve tossed the spear at a running Black Widow, who caught it and engaged in a fight with Corvus. She stabbed into his abdomen, and the alien screamed in pain. Natasha then did a spinning kick and hurled him away.

Proxima Midnight used telekinesis to retrieve her spear from Natasha's hands. She then ran up to her and was about to stab Natasha, but Steve grabbed Corvus's staff and leaped in to block the attack. Steve and Natasha proceeded to fight Proxima two versus one before Sam flew in and kicked the alien down.

The three stood over the two Black Order members with Sam unholstering his two sub-machine guns and aiming it at them.

"Get up." Proxima spoke to Corvus.

"I can't."

"We don't wanna kill you, but we will." Natasha told them.

Proxima looked up at the Black Widow, "You'll never get the chance again."

The two aliens suddenly got beamed up and entered their ship. It flew away soon after. Steve, Natasha, and Sam then walked over to Y/N, Wanda, and Vision.

"Can you stand?" Sam asked Vision.

He nodded, and Sam helped the synthezoid up, letting him lean on his shoulder.

"Thank you, Captain." Vision looked at Rogers.

Steve simply nodded, looking at his three friends.

"Let's get you all on the jet."

WANDA AND Y/N SAT in the jet as it flew out of Scotland. Natasha was just closing the airstair when she began to speak.

"I thought we had a deal. Stay close, check in, don't take any chances."

"I'm sorry. We just wanted time." Y/N replied.

"That time almost got you both killed." She rebutted.

"We're sorry." Wanda chimed in.

Natasha nodded and went over to the front where Sam was piloting. He turned back to ask Steve a question.

"Where to, Cap?"

Steve had his hands on his waist as he turned to Y/N and Wanda. It was time to go back to the place everything started.

"Home."
