Anyone else want these two to meet their brothers?

It wouldn't shock me if an upcoming New Avengers story had them meet Billy Kaplan.

I still want some acknowledgement of the fact that Jonas is backed up on the Avengers' computer system...

Retcon Punch had such a wonderful review on this book.

"The issue finds the Vision family back to some sense of normalcy, as The Vision plays with the kids in the yard. Of course, at the center of this normalcy is a heightened concern of what normalcy is, resulting in unnatural conversations about the hierarchies of cognition and justice. It highlights their alien nature just in time for them to give up the pursuit of normalcy in favor of just having fun.

Dad caving to a kid’s weird request? I can’t think of a more human interaction than that — or indeed, a more normal one — but it’s not “normal,” so it can’t be seen as such. These contradictions are at the heart of this series — the Vision even remarks that changing but not changing is “the most human of endeavors,” but can’t seem to recognize when he’s embodying that ethos. The kids fare a bit better, though that may actually have more to do with the empathy of their peers than anything they do themselves. A few kind words from C.K. is the lifeline Viv needs to feel human, though that victory is ultimately undone at the issue’s climax."

I honestly want them to meet their grandpa and great-grandpa. Which currently means both at the same time.
