Chapter 1
WANDA POV
This was was it. The moment they were going to finally come to their senses and kick me out. I screwed up bad, really bad.
We were training this morning, Nat and Steve were observing me Sam sparring. I was doing quite well, I thought, well I was up until Sam threw a punch at my stomach and I toppled over. Then in a flash he was towering over me with a smirk on his face. I started to panic, whenever people stood over me in the past, it meant one thing and one thing only. All os a sudden scenes from my time at HYDRA were flashing through my brain. Sam now looked down at me quite concerned, he then bent down towards me and offered me a hand up. I was to busy panicking to notice that he was trying to help me up. I was too overwhelmed and without thinking I threw a hex directly into his chest and he went flying back, with thud against the wall.
I heard screaming and shouting all around me, but I couldn’t seem to focus, my mind was going crazy, i felt dizzy and nauseous. I closed my eyes tightly hoping to get out of this nightmare.
When i finally had the courage to open them again, i was somewhere completely different, but not unfamiliar. It was the place that had haunted my dreams for the past 10 years. My childhood home, it wasn’t very big, it had three rooms in total. Mama and Papa’s room, the bathroom and the living room/kitchen/dining room. It wasn’t the nicest place to live, but my family made the best out of it.
Accept this time it wasn’t the happy place I remember it being, it was what was left of what the bombs destruction. The massive whole in the floor, the screams coming from all around. I looked to find Pietro only to see his bullet ridden body laying next to me. I screamed like my life depended on it. I heard the rumble from the second bomb about to drop. When I experienced this in real life Pietro took us and hid us under the bed we shared. This time i never had him to rescue so I kneeled there waiting to meet my end. Then i heard a shushing sound coming from slightly above me. “It’s okay, you’re safe, I’ve got you” the voice sounded extremely familiar, i just couldn’t place it. “Come on Maximoff, open you’re eyes for me” it was Natasha, only she called me Maximoff.
I reluctantly opened my eyes too see Natasha staring down at me with her bright emerald green eyes.
NATASHA POV
Me and were watching Sam and Wanda spar when all of a sudden she threw him back against the wall. Steve and me exchanged a quick glance before rushing over to Sam. He seemed to be okay, just a little shocked.
Then i heard a whimper coming from behind me, i turned to see Wanda curled up in a ball, rocking slightly. I made my way over to her carefully not wanting to be thrown back like Sam. She had liquid (that I couldn’t tell if it was sweat or tears) running down her face. I looked over her, bent down, she didn’t even seem to notice that was there, so I decided to pull her into my lap. She let out an earth shattering scream, i debated putting her down, but quickly decided to pull her closer. I started to rock her slightly and shush her, to calm her down. “It’s okay, you’re safe, I’ve got you” i started to assure her she was okay, she seemed to calm down at this. “Come on Maximoff, open your eyes for me”.
Steve looked over at me with pity in his eyes. He felt guilty, responsible for her brothers death. He is the captain and a member of his team died. Wanda assured him he was not at fault, but he still carries some of the guilt.
Wanda’s eyes slowly began to open. Her olive green eyes looked up at me, she seemed confused. She then looked around the room, she quickly got up and ran back to what presume was her room. I looked back over to Steve to see Sam leaning on him. No one spoke just sitting silence. “We should take you up to medical, just to be safe” i said finally breaking the silence. Steve agreed, Sam just let out huff and nodded his head.
We got up to med, they took Sam in immediately. Me and Steve sat in the waiting room both daring the other to speak first, neither us did though. I thought about the witch who looked up me with a heartbroken look on her face, like her whole family just died.
