Vision tilts his head slightly to his right, his hand reaching out for Wanda's hand as he presses a small kiss to the palm. Next, the humanoid pulls her hand flat against the stone.

"Tell me what you feel."

The woman pulls her hand back as her fingers twitch in motion as a scarlet color attaches itself to the stone. Her hand emits red energy as it swirls shortly; Wanda furrows her brows confused.

"I just feel you."

Vision stares at Wanda with a loving smile; it was a painful one, but he couldn't help but mask his pain. Instead, he places a hand against her cheek, leans closer, and places a kiss upon her lips.

As the two separate, the couple made their way out of their small apartment and onto the empty streets of Scotland. The floor was wet and slippery from the recent downpour; Wanda made sure to watch her step.

Wanda and Vision's hands swing between them. "So, there's a ten A.M. to Glasgow . . . which would give us more time together before you go back."

"What if I miss that train?"

Wanda smiles, a bit puzzled. "There's an eleven."

They stop, Vision turning to face his lover with a look. "What if I missed all the trains?" Wanda looks at him as if she were confused, but she was just speechless. Vision showed a bit of excitement--this thrilling feeling inside him, knowing he'd miss these trains and never return. To stay here, where his heart is. "What if this time, I didn't go back?"

"But you gave Stark your word."

"I'd rather give it to you."

Wanda licks her lips, stuffing her hands in her pocket. "Well, there are people who are expecting me, too, you know. We both made promises."

"Not to each other," Vision pauses, placing his hands on the woman's shoulders. "Wanda . . . for two years, we've stolen these moments . . . trying to see if this could work and . . . I don't know. It--It's just--you know what, I'm just gonna speak for myself. I--I think . . ."

Seeing him stutter over his words, Wanda couldn't help but smile in adoration. She chuckles airily. "It works."

Vision nods, repeating before he looks to her with a more serious look. "Stay. Stay with me."

Wanda looks indecisive, eyes drifting from the man, a little bit worried. How long will it be for her to be able to see Eszter? As much as she loves the idea of staying with Vision, she'd always be by his side, but at some point, Wanda would like to revisit Eszter.

Vision catches the look in her eyes, and he immediately takes back what he said. "Or not. If I'm overstepping . . ."

But then Wanda catches a glimpse of the tv that sat behind Vision, behind the glass windows. Her eyes were wide, baffled. Wanda walks from Vision as she inches towards the window. The news channel flashes on the screen as it shows a video of Ebony Maw and Cull Obsidian. Wanda gasps under her breath, hand covering her mouth in shock as she stares at the screen in horror.

Suddenly, the camera pans across the villains and standing before them, two warlocks, a scientist, and a sister. Wanda's shock turned to horror; Eszter's hands were emitting the violet energies as she glares at the creature.

"Eszter..." Wanda mumbles under her breath. "What are they?"

Vision finally sees. "What the stone was warning me about."

Suddenly, Vision was stabbed from the back and through his chest; they were surprised. They were attacked by two of the Black Order, and Wanda does everything to protect Vision. It wasn't easy fighting two aliens while your significant other was severely stabbed. When Wanda tried to levitate them to safety, Proxima Midnight shoots them down, causing them to land in the subway.
