Do we know what happens to people who disappear? Are they safe?

[Everything is fine.]

If they do something to me for demanding answers I don't want you to get hurt

But if you want company later I don't want to be alone today

[theladyofwinterfell]

I am not afraid, Wanda. Bucky taught me how to protect myself. But I want to give you company. I will always give you company.

[Sansa may not be, but Wanda is. She's always viewed the Agrii with suspicion, and while it's completely possible the forces that are keeping them away have caused Vision's disappearance...it's also possible they did this specifically to get what they wanted from her. They may not react well to being questioned.

And Wanda would rather crawl over broken glass than let Sansa, her unborn child, and Lady get dragged down with her.]

You're a good friend, Sansa

I don't know what is going to happen. But if you want to come with me to the building or meet me afterwards I won't say no

[theladyofwinterfell]

I will come with you. I promise, if things are too dangerous, I'll back away. Still, I put my trust in Lady and I put my trust in you. You're one of the strongest women I know. You're as fearless and strong as my own sister, Arya, and I would trust her with my life. I trust you with mine as well.

[Wanda's been hiding behind text messages both to save some semblance of dignity and not to broadcast how utterly heartbroken she is. She knows it is foolish to show weakness where potential enemies can see it, and she can't go to pieces on Billy and Tommy. Even if she isn't their mother, she has to try harder to be stronger for them. Who else will if she doesn't?

But Sansa...Sansa deserves the truth, even if it's not pretty. Trying to keep this barrier between them feels wrong, so she flips the communicator's mode over to video. Wanda's been crying since she realized Vision really was missing and it shows: her eyes are red and she's still sobbing despite her best efforts to compose herself.]

I don't know what power has taken Vision. But I will protect you as long as I am alive and here, I promise.

[It feels like a hollow promise when there is clearly some force that she couldn't protect her own husband from. But she's going to throw all her efforts into saving him and making sure no one else gets hurt.]

You are very brave, Sansa. Whatever happens...we'll do it together.

( Seeing Wanda's tear-streaked face hurts her deeply. Sansa would do anything to trade places, to bear this pain for her so she doesn't have to hurt. It's just something she cannot do and it bothers her immensely. )

Bravery comes through being tested in life. We've been tested, Wanda, and we've come out victorious. That's no small thing. We've overcome our obstacles. I used to say that I've gone from porcelain, to ivory, to steel. I am no longer the girl I was who went to King's Landing. You're no longer who you were as a child. We are women who survive.

When the snows fall and the white winds blow; when winter comes - The lone wolf dies but the pack survives. Remember that.
