[ Her face crumbles.

She's never considered it like that. Is it addiction? Wanda wonders what it is she's addicted to. It certainly can't be power—she didn't have this kind of juice when she was eleven and hiding under the bed. Can someone be addicted to feeling like the world is toppling over them again and again?

Without thinking, Wanda steps into him and wraps her arms around him and presses her cheek against his chest. He's not Vision—and he'll never be Vision; his voice is too gravely and his words are too sharp—but she likes that. ]

Sometimes I hate it here.

[ Reminders of what she's tried to escape keep infiltrating what should be a safe and protected bubble. ]

But I don't hate that you are here.

[ There's no question over what he's going to do when she steps forward into his arms. House lets out a breath that's half sympathy and half relief and hugs her close, only a little clumsy for lack of practice at comforting people. He rests his chin lightly on top of her head. She seems small in his arms, too small to have changed the world. But he knows how these things work out. ]

The thing is, I don't hate that you're here either. Even when you turn everything into tomato soup.

[ He strokes a hand over her back, up and down. ]

If it helps, you're not the only one going crazy.
