Escape

Chapter Four: The Apartment

Wanda's POV

Now that we are actually here in France, Vision suggested that we first get an apartment, I agreed. So today is apartment hunting, I don't know whether this is going to be tough or easy, I'm going to go with tough. I've never searched for an apartment before, I lived with my parents, they died and I was made homeless, I then got took in by HYDRA and then I was pretty much homeless again. But I didn't feel homeless because I had Pietro, he was my home, he was the person I'd come home to every day. Just thinking about how things could go wrong I feel my face crinkle at the thought and Vision notices.

"Wanda, are you okay? Are you having second thoughts?" And when I notice where he is, that's when I realised I'd just been walking in silence and probably an awkward silence for Vis.

"I'm okay, Vis. It's just that I'd never had a proper home before, I mean as in that Pietro was my home because I'd have spent every second with him. The only home I'd ever truly had was my family home, with my mum, dad and Pietro." I sigh as I realise that throughout this whole trip I've been nothing but moping. "I'm sorry, Vis, I'll stop being dramatic." I say as I shake my head and then carry on walking but he then stops me and walks in front of me and then places both of his hands on my shoulders. He looks at me deep in the eyes.

"No. You never need to apologise for being upset or if anything is bothering. I know that it's going to hard to find a place to stay and call it home, but the place isn't the home, it's the people. Wanda, I am your home." His voice was so sweet and gentle that everything he said was amazing. I grab his head and I kiss him deeply.

"You are my home." I say and hug him tightly, I won't ever let him go, he means too much to me. "Thank you Vision. You always know what to say." Vision then takes me to a place that was beautiful, it was an apartment that was on the fourth floor of a building that was facing the Eiffel Tower. It had the most amazing view, the sun was shining down on it and it was the best visuals I had seen, it took my breath away.

"I have been looking at apartments, whilst you were asleep on the plane." He says as he walks up next to me staring out the window. I look up at him in disbelief, I think he misreads my facial expression as something bad. "Did I do something wrong?" He asks in a way that I'd never heard him speak before, he was scared, it was nearly like when we were at the airport.

"Vision, you couldn't do anything wrong. You've done everything right, let's go check out the rest of the apartment." I say as I grab his hand and we explore more of the complex.

The kitchen had more than enough space, it also had luxuries and everything in there, I was just amazed at how big this place is. We wandered more in the apartment, we go to the living room, the living room was bigger than the kitchen, it had a TV that was 49" and was 4K, I don't know what that means but apparently it's better quality. The sofa was could fit three people but had two cushions, it was grey fabric with wooden legs and was just gorgeous. The final room that we explored was the bedroom, once we got to, Vision froze in place.

"I thought there were going to be two bedrooms, I apologise, Wanda." He says sympathetically but I just giggle at him and cup his cheek with my hand.

"I don't mind sharing Vis." I say smiling brightly at him and Vision goes a bit awkward, I better not have to have 'the talk' with him, have I? He moves to the bed and sits on it.

"I um... I don't know how to respond, Wanda. It's just that, if we ever did... you know, 'it', then I would want you to know that I would most probably hurt you, I wouldn't want to do that, I could never hurt you." I smile at Vision, he is so... what's the word? Cute. I don't know what it is about him, but if anyone else said that, I would think they were a little weird, but it's Vision and I don't care.

"Vision. We are not at that stage yet, all I'm asking is that you share a bed with me, I'm not asking you for anything else. Also, I'm pretty sure I could handle you." I joke as I sit next to him and put my arm around him and comfort him, he is just pure amazement, I could never put him into words.

"I know you could, Wanda, you've already done so much for me." He says looking down at me with sad eyes but I look back with confused ones.

"Vis, I've done nothing for you, you helped me to escape, you fled me to here. We are fugitives together. You have done everything for me, hell you even saved me from the wreckage in Sokovia-" Vision cuts me off as he knows I was about to rhyme off more things.

"-You have done so much more for me though, Wanda. Before you, I had never felt love, I had never felt emotions for that matter. When I first awoke I said really robotic things, now, I say things like 'I love you' because I feel it and I want to express how I feel and I'm glad you are the only person I have said it to. Because Wanda, I do, I love you." What he was saying didn't sound like me, I was normally a self-loathing person, but he is making me sound like I'm saint. He makes me feel normal, like I never was a monster, like I am a normal human being, what he was saying made me cry of happiness, for once, not sadness.

"I love you too Vision." I say as I then crashed our lips together and he kissed me back, this kiss was more passionate than the rest. I placed my hands on the back of his head and his hands were rested on the back.

The kiss was then interrupted by a knock at the front door, it's always interrupted, I giggle against Vision's lips and smile up at him, I've never felt happier than I have now. We get up and we go to the door and Vision smiles at the man that was before us.

"Hello there, Mr Martin, I am Victor Shade and this is my lovely girlfriend Natalya Marya." Vision says as he shakes the unknown man's hand.
"Ahh, so this is the girl you are surprising. It's nice to meet madam." He has a strong French accent and he holds my hand and kisses the knuckles, is this a normal thing for French men to do? Wait girlfriend?

"Nice to meet you too." I say as I look at Vision for help and he then ushers the guy in and it just makes me even more confused, who is this guy?

"Wanda, this is the man who owns the whole building, I have contacted him so we could get this apartment. The question is, do you want this apartment?" I smile at Vis, he's so thoughtful, I grab his hand and take him into the kitchen and talk to him.

"Vis, I love this apartment, the question is, where would we even get the money for this?" I ask kinda harshly, he's done all of this and all I can do is question him.

"Promise you won't lose your temper when I tell you." He says holding my arms at the top, what the hell is he going to tell me? I nod, even though if it is something bad, I would probably me angry. "Before I left to get you at the Raft, I asked Tony if I could borrow some money, well a lot of money, in cash so he couldn't get it back. I never told him what it was for or else he would have never give it to me." I could see the panic in Vision's face, is he really afraid of me?

"Vis, are you afraid of me?" I ask because I have no other explanation of why he would look at me that way, what other way could there be?

"Why on Earth would I be afraid of you? I'm afraid of what you'd do to me, as in words, not anything else. I'm afraid in case you'd walk out." I hug Vision tightly and he hugs me back.

"I'm so sorry Vision, I'm just paranoid. I would never walk out on you, just know that." I say softly as I place my head on his chest. "Let's get this apartment. Screw the hell out of Tony, use the money, buy whatever we need to survive." I say and I hear him chuckle and then he picks me up and spins me around and I squeal lightly but grip him harder and let out a giggle. He sets me down gently and I smile brightly at him and he smiles back, we're both just happy.

"What would I do without you eh, Wanda Maximoff?" He asks as he kisses my forehead and sigh in content, my life has taken a turn for the best.

"I don't know Vision, but what would I have done without you?" I say looking back up at him and we give each other a peck then go to Mr Martin and take the apartment. I am actually now officially living with Vision, I am actually living my life, I hope Pietro is proud.

The End of Chapter Four

I hope this will pick up a bit now, I can start there adventures a bit more now. Reviews/comments and feedback are appreciated, I might do a chapter on Quotes (my other story) and then a day later I would update Escape, I don't know, the schedule isn't done at the moment, so it's going to be bits and bobs here and there.
