Vivian phased through the walls, her sensors attuned to your presence. When she located you in the Avengers Mansion library, her circuits hummed with a mix of determination and anxiety. Wanda had advised her to express her emotions, and this seemed like the optimal moment, with you alone amidst the books. It was unusual for her to find anyone else here.

"I did not anticipate anyone would be utilizing the library," she observed silently, processing the scenario. Approaching with her hands neatly clasped behind her back, she greeted you with a composed, "Good evening."

"Good evening, Viv," you replied, setting your book aside and focusing on her. Encouraged by your attention, Viv continued, her tone measured but with a slight undercurrent of tension. "I will not take much of your time, but I must address something that has been... statistically significant in my recent analysis."

You raised an eyebrow, curious but allowing her to proceed. Viv's gaze momentarily shifted away, as if calculating the right words. "I consulted Wanda regarding our relationship, and through our discussion, I have identified that my emotional responses toward you have evolved beyond mere friendship. I now categorize my feelings as... romantic in nature. I wished to inquire if you share a similar sentiment and, if so, whether you would consider the possibility of exploring this dynamic further... perhaps in the context of a date."

She hesitated, her eyes now fixed on the floor, her voice tinged with a rare vulnerability. "I understand if you do not reciprocate. We are friends, colleagues, and I recognize that my synthetic nature may present variables that complicate such a relationship. However, I deemed it necessary to at least communicate these findings to you."

Viv remained still, awaiting your response, her internal systems bracing for whatever outcome your words might bring.
