Synopsis for "Everything Slips Through Their Fingers"

Following the incident with the Grim Reaper, Vin is forced to return to school, while Viv - her body now severed at the waist and hooked up to a “life-giving” machine - continues to malfunction. Virginia then gives a falsified account of the Grim Reaper’s attack to Vision. She claims that rather than hit the Grim Reaper with a tray, the two engaged in fisticuffs for several minutes before backing off. She then says she fired her laser at him after he insulted Viv, frightening him and causing him to flee. She then chose to tend to the kids rather than pursue the Grim Reaper. Vision, believing her story, comforts her.

That afternoon, a lonely Vin sits alone at the lunch table looking at an apple, which he crushes. A boy then comes up to him, telling Vin that he is Viv’s chem lab partner and wants her contact info so they can discuss their upcoming project. Vin, not fully understanding him, simply says that Viv is out sick. The kid proceeds to press further, eventually insulting him. Becoming angry, Vin proceeds to choke the boy and repeat that Viv is sick, eventually dropping him when he reaches unconsciousness.

Vision and Virginia are called into the principal’s office to discuss Vin’s incident. Vision tries to pass off the incident as a result of traumatic stress from Grim Reaper’s attack. The principal refuses, outright comparing Vin and Viv to guns being brought to school by students, and says he refuses to accept their presence despite the superintendent allowing it (for what he claims is a crush on Captain America). Finding his abrasiveness unproductive, Vision decides to leave and says Vin will serve a suspension, to which the principal retorts that Vision doesn’t have that authority. In anger, Vision replies that while he doesn’t have that authority, the principal does owe him, as does everyone on Earth, as he has now saved the world thirty-seven times. Vision and Virginia then exit while the principal calms his nerves with a drink.

As Vision and Virginia return home, the former learns that Viv’s diagnostics have been completed and she can make a full recovery. He then leaves for his lab to go fix her. Once he is gone, an optimistic Virginia goes to her mailbox, only to find an iPhone inside with instructions to play a video. Following the orders, Virginia discovers a video of her burying the Grim Reaper in her backyard and then comforting Vin. Horrified, she drops the phone, which then starts to ring.
