[ This reply comes back quicker. ]

I heard what happened. I'm sorry.

[ "Heard about" is inaccurate. "Knew he was gone, the second it ended" would be more honest, but probably not very pleasant to hear for either of them. ]

You probably knew more about him than anyone, but. Sure.

[heard. it's not the same as having been there, and wanda needs tony to know what happened to him.]

He was already injured when Thanos came to Earth with all stones but the Mind Stone.
We tried to protect him. To stop Thanos.
Vision knew that the only way to keep Thanos from reaching his goal was to destroy the stone before he got it. He asked me to do it. He never hesitated, Stark. Not for a second.
He didn't beg for more time. He just knew what he needed to do.

[someone needs to honor vision, even if it's nothing but words shared across this magical mind connection.]

He was terrified when Thanos brought him back with the Time Stone.
He died twice, and his sacrifice meant nothing in the end.

In those five years, did you ever look for his body? Did Banner?
Or did it not matter anymore?

[ Jesus.

He'd known Vision and Wanda were gone – Vision by process of elimination, and Wanda from the the ID photos in the Avengers command room, as well as her – and the others' – suffocating absence. But from his hazy recall of Cap's debriefing on Thanos' attack on Wakanda, he doesn't think – he didn't know...

He'd thought Titan had been horrifying to witness.

He lets her finish, and it's only then that he frowns. What she's saying, it doesn't... ]

I'm from 2018. A month after the snap. I'd barely gotten back to Earth when I woke up here, so I have no idea what I did or didn't do in the five years afterward. I'm sorry.

[ He has some idea. He married Pepper. They raised a daughter. He died, in one shot at saving the world – his family – out of fourteen billion. Or so he's told.

But she wasn't your first child, was she, a little voice says, and he swallows down something dry. ]

[why does it always feel like tony stark always fails her, even as the world chants him praises? wanda doesn't know what she expected from him, but maybe a little more than just 'i'm sorry, i don't know'.

but he meant (means) so much to peter, and vision—]

Vision would talk about you when we would meet.
I think he was trying to convince me that your intentions were never wrong.
He always said it wasn't the case.

You meant a lot to him. Even when he would say things like how he never understood the concept of family, or how he's never actually been lonely. He felt like he was able to understand what those things were.
I know that you gave him a home and a place to belong to. He would never have had those things had it not been for you.

Money was of no use to him, so... I always wondered.
Did you ever know about his plans for Westview?
