‘Civil’ war
A few months later and now I was a fully trained avenger, what ever that means. Cap and Nat were now starting to take us trainees out in the field which was fun apart from everyone treating me like a China doll. Not long after Wanda told me I was pregnant I found out it was twins which made everyone even more protective, if that was even possible. One baby was a lot let alone two, but what was even harder was the fact I was going through it all without klaus, not to say I didn’t have support because I had plenty of that, but pregnancy didn’t stop me .I threw on a quick glamour and a protection spell so my twin baby bump didn’t get in the way and got on with my day, next thing I know we were heading to Lagos hunting down Rumlow AKA crossbones.
Everybody was hesitant to let me come but by agreeing that Wanda wouldn’t leave my side they eventually gave in, we then started staking out the police station but it soon came to our attention that it wasn’t the target, but we were too late. By the time we realised our mistake Rumlow had already breached the security of the institute for infectious diseases and was on his way to possessing a biological weapon. While everyone else took out the armed gunmen I, with the help of Wanda’s powers, removed the toxic gas that had infiltrated the building. Wanda then joined me as everyone else went in pursuit of the biological weapon Rumlow was able to make off with, we followed close behind and it was a good thing we did.
Steve took his eye off the ball for a minute and in that moment of weakness he didn’t clock the bomb vest Rumlow was wearing until it was too late. Luckily me and Wanda together were able to contain the blast long enough to get it off the ground and away from the crowds but not long enough to save the poor people inside the building. I know now that there was nothing more that we could have done but in that moment we both felt dreadful and so guilty.
We returned to the Avengers compound that afternoon and the sight of my three girls Instantly put a smile on my face. I couldn’t bear being away from them so Tony, as a compromise for me leaving, let them move in as well, along with Mary. But I still couldn’t get over the guilt I was feeling and it was the same for Wanda and Steve, what didn’t help was that I was having caffeine withdrawal. I find out I’m pregnant and suddenly everyone’s an expert. I try to have a cup of coffee and they all gang up on me, blackmailing me with statistics about preterm labour, it was mainly Wanda and Natasha but Tony and vision didn’t help by fact checking everything.
A few weeks passed by after the events of Lagos and things started to die down until the Secretary of State turned up at the compound with the Sokovia Accords, that’s when all hell broke loose. The team was divided and they were all fighting about whether the accords would affect missions and their own agendas but what I don’t think they took into account was that it wouldn’t just be adults on that list but children, my children, and like Cap said the accords were written by people with agendas, what if one of those agendas included using my kids to fight in one of their wars and I couldn’t let that happen. I may look quiet and reserved but if you mess with my kids I would show you seven different types of crazy. I may not have agreed with everything Steve was saying but I couldn’t sign something that would persecute me or my children for being different and that’s what I told Tony. He went on about the families we had torn apart because of our fighting but I had to argue back about the families that we would be destroying by signing the accords, and that’s when I got up and left. Unlike me and Wanda, Tony wouldn’t be on that list, even if we left the Avenger the government could still control us but that wouldn’t be the case with him.
Tony, Rhodey, Vision and Nat all signed the accords and while everything was happening in Vienna, me and Wanda with the triplets and Vision stayed at the compound. We only found out later that we weren’t actually allowed to leave, however that didn’t last long because not long after everything went down with Bucky in Bucharest and the bomb in Vienna Clint came to collect me and Wanda, the triplets wanted to come but obviously this wasn’t a trip suitable for 3 year olds. The next day we arrived at an airport in Germany and that’s when shit hit the fan.
We came up against the other side of the avengers, and let me say it didn’t turn out well. With a few new additions to each side we began to fight, I like always was linked to Wanda using her powers but everyone was afraid to hurt me and because I was linked to Wanda they didn’t want to hurt her either because if they hurt her, they would hurt me. That didn’t stop us though and from a distance I could still do a lot of damage, Tony and Vision tried to reason with us and tried to talk us out of fighting but no one messes with a Mama Bear and her cubs. I fought like my life depended on it, which it felt like it did, and at this point we were fighting for something more than the accords but I didn’t care because I needed to prove a point. We came to a point where we knew we wouldn’t all win so a sacrifice was made. So me and Scott created a distraction while Steve and Bucky took the Quinjet, I faked some contractions on the ground while Scott got really big and basically used Rhodey as a toy.
Catastrophe fell on the avengers that day some more than others, Rhodey was hospitalised and Me, Wanda, Clint, Scott and Sam were sent to the raft. I don’t know the exact details of what happened after with Steve and Tony, all I know is that at that point I finally noticed how illegal and inhumane the accords actually were. Unlike the boys Me and Wanda were treated like animals, chained up in straight jackets because we were ‘enhanced’, which was even more shocking as I was 7 months pregnant with the twins. But what was really hard was seeing Wanda suffer with her ptsd especially after everything she went though in Strucker’s lab. Eventually, Clint and Scott took house arrest as it was easier for their families but for Me, Wanda and Sam we were rescued by Steve, which meant we had to go on the run but if that’s the price of freedom I’ll take it. We all split up with the promise that we would stay close,keep in contact and keep our heads down so that’s what we did.
