He stands in line for his coffee, acutely aware of his target standing in line behind him. He has her face memorized, has the sound of her voice and cadence of her speech drilled into his brain, he has his weapons concealed on his person, and the Ghost is awake and in his veins.

But when he half-turns as they wait together, his mouth makes a friendly smile. What he wants to say it to run. To get her coffee and get into an Uber and drive as far away from here as she can. "You a regular, miss?" his voice asks, mild and amiable, no sign of stress or fear or dark intent.

It's too late, anyway. She's here, he's here, and the Ghost always gets what it's sent for.

The dog is alive again. That's what Misty wanted, after all, to bring back the one wrongful death in the wake of all that powerful magic. He's sitting at her feet and barking.

But the magic of rebirth is still pulling at her, and in her little corner of Westview, it's coalescing into... something unexpected. The shape of a man, only with circuitry for veins and vibranium for bones, piecing itself together one tiny hexagonal piece at a time. She can try to pull back her power, but it'll fight her until its finished bringing back whatever it's latched onto.

The Vision blinks a time or two, confused. The last thing he remembers....

"Wanda?" he asks, but that's not Wanda. He immediately begins running a data match in a subprocess, trying to find a face in his database of Westview natives and SWORD invaders that fits this one. It's not a very big database, so it pings empty after less than a second, while he stares at the blonde woman with Sparky.

Sparky, who was dead. He buried the dog, himself.

What in the world?

They're heading out to dinner for his birthday, all four of them. He's laughing at some dumb dad joke, but later he won't even remember what the joke was, because he doesn't actually remember anything for several minutes before and after it happens. It. Because he has no idea what it is, only that one minute they're driving along like normal, and the next there's light and heat and something that isn't quite pain but does a damn good job pretending like it is. It's magic, he knows, but it's magic unlike anything he's felt before.

And then the next there's a smoking wreck of the family car and an overturned semi truck, and he's curled over their mother sobbing, unable to remember exactly how he got there, but feeling like his blood is singing with more power than he's ever had before. It doesn't make her get up. He knows his eyes are pitch black, the air is warping around his hands, but nothing he's pushing into her body is making her get up.

Then suddenly Misty's there, and they're stumbling away together from the smoke and the blood. "I don't know what happened," is all he can say, the panic gone but now feeling numb, shocky. The magic is draining out of him as they weave along the side of the road. The police can find them later, probably, but for now it's just them. "Misty, I don't know what happened."

Finding a little one-room shack in the boggy woods is harder than it sounds. Magic is good for a lot of things, but finding shit is not one of them, it seems. Or maybe he just doesn't know that particular spell.

But he does find it. Eventually. He's tired, he's hungry, he's cranky, and there's a witch in there who supposedly came back from the dead. After bringing a bird back from the dead. He asked around, he tortured a couple people when his more friendly mask didn't work, and he got his answers. Apparently there are things his abandoning asshole father didn't know about the Power-- and things the sainted little Covenant didn't know, either.

There are mistakes that need corrected, and he's going to figure out how to correct them. So he's here to learn. Even if he has to beat the lessons out of her.

He stalks towards the shack, eyes already pitch black, power at the ready. His friendly mask isn't even making an appearance today. He needs this too badly, and he needs the power too much.
