Can you feel it?
Wanda was lying on the roof, her head on Vanya's lap, reading. They did this most nights- escaped to the roof to have some time together.
The days were filled with training and patrol, so by the time the sun fell, they would often be too tired to do anything other than lay down on the roof, gazing at the stars.
But tonight, everything felt off.
Wanda felt something different in the air, like a sort of sickly stillness that came with funerals. The kind of quiet that followed death.
She sat up, causing Vanya to jump at the sudden movement.
"Sorry... I just. Do you feel that?"
"Feel what?" Vanya looked at her, confused
"The, um, how do you say it...атмосфера?"
"The ambience? Atmosphere?"
"Yes. It feels weird. Like... like something bad is going to happen."
Vanya looked at her, worried. She was used to Wanda's feelings, they were always pretty precise- she had predicted plenty of storms, successful missions, etc.
But this was different. Wanda seemed worried.
"It's probably just a storm coming," Wana stood up, holding her hand out, "We should get some sleep; Nat's leading training tomorrow."
Vanya groaned- Nat was always brutal in training- and stood up.
They made their way to their rooms, kissing each other goodnight before turning in.
But Wanda couldn't shake the feeling.
Shortly after Wanda had spoken to her, Vanya began to feel the slight shift in the atmosphere too.
Nobody else seemed to feel it, and when she talked to Wanda about it, the other girl expressed her worries.
"I'm afraid... something bad might happen. Like... really bad," Wanda had said.
Right now, the two girls were in Wanda's room, revising for Natasha's Mandarin test- "Seriously," Wanda had said, "we must be the only kids in the whole country still revising. It's the holidays." However, she had been reminded by a very preoccupied Vanya, that they weren't really like 'other kids'.
Vanya felt something change. It wasnt like the subtle shifts before, this was big.
She looked at Wanda, who's wide eyes were on her, too. They mirrored Vanyas feeling of worry.
"Did you feel that?"
"Yes. That- that was... what the hell was that?"
"I- I don't know. We should tell someone."
Just then, Five and Peter came crashing in- more like, Peter came crashing in, and Five reported in smoothly.
However, they both had similar looks of distress.
"Di- did you guys feel that?" Peter asked
"Yes. What the hell was it?" Vanya replied, looking around.
"I dont know," Five said, "it felt like something bad is about to happen. We should tell the others."
They all nodded, Five and Peter running off to call a team meeting.
Vanya jumped up, and Wanda grasped her hand, pulling her into a kiss.
"If anything bad happens, I got you, okay?" She said after they melted apart
"Yes. I adore you," they gazed into each others eyes before rushing down to the meeting room.
Everyone was there: Tony and Stephen; Natasha and Maria; Steve and Bucky; Bruce and Thor; Clint arrived late; Allison came in with Diego; Luther arrived alone (he had had a fight with his siblings, and it ended in him storming off); Klaus walked in with Ben; Peter and Five stood at the front.
"We think something's gonna happen," Five explained
"What kind of someone?" Natasha asked
"Did you guys feel that sort of shift- in the atmosphere?" Five said, most people nodded, "that's been happening for a few days. It feels like something bad."
The room was silent for a minute, before everyone burst into conversation.
The chatter bubbled up, and Wanda felt it shift again.
Then again.
Then again.
It happened more frequently until...
BAM
The whole world fell apart.
