Don't let me down
I decide to go to the fitness room despite the hangovers, I have to live on somehow. I'll probably be the only one, at least I know 100% that Natasha will not be there as much as she drank yesterday.
I have to wear sports clothes first. A black Nike sports bra, a gray Nike highwaist leggings, black Nike sports shoes and my phone so I can listen to music. I do not make-up, I just put on a day cream and make a ponytail.
As I walk down the steps from the 5th floor (my apartment is here) down to the basement, I realize that I can not do much sport. I will try it anyway. Downstairs, to my surprise, I see someone. Wait, Carol? Was not she really drunk yesterday? She did not even make it to the gas station, did she? I go to her to talk to her.
(Conversation between Wanda and Carol)
Wanda: Hey, Carol! I did not think to see you here today.
Carol: Oh yes? Which of us had 45 shots?
Wanda: 45, yes I know. Oh God, I feel like I'm dead anyway. But I have to do something today. You left very early, how much did you drink?
Carol: Well, I was there at eight o'clock, you came later, so I had alcohol before that. Then I finished third in the second shot competition. I ended up with 23 shots.
Wanda: Only 23? Do you think you could do more with your powers?
Carol: Sure, my powers are generally better and more confident. But because of your 45 shots, how did you last that long?
Wanda: No idea, I can only remember that cheer me all and I almost tip over, I'm glad that Bucky could not drink anymore, because when I'm drunk I want to win, no matter what it costs. I would probably have turned over at Shot 46.
Carol: Yeah, that you really wanted to win, I noticed, but it looked more like Bucky would win, it just stopped suddenly. But, you talked to Bucky after that, did not he say anything?
Wanda: What do you mean by he just stopped?
Carol: I was drunk but not so drunk. For me it really looked like Bucky had deliberately lost.
Wanda: I think you just imagined that.
Carol: I do not think so, I was the only one who still recognized the difference between a door and a window.
Wanda: Maybe you are right. I have no idea, some say when we went by taxi to Central Park, Bucky and I were alone in one and came much later.
Carol: Seriously? I was not in Central Park anymore, I was at the petrol station. No idea how I got there, but in the photos I could see from when I was gone.
Wanda: I still have to talk to some people to find out what happened yesterday.
(Conversation ends here)
We continued doing sports, after about half an hour I went back, Carol stayed. On the way up, Bucky runs across the way in the hallway. Suddenly he talks to me.
(Conversation between Wanda and Bucky)
Bucky: Hey!
Wanda: Hi, are you so shitty or am I the only one with a hangover?
Bucky: Well, it works, I mean only, but you really wanted to win and you just had to drink 45 shots.
(We both laugh)
Wanda: No idea why I did that, I just should not go to parties in the near future.
Bucky: Really? So I thought the party was really good.
Wanda: The party was certainly good, only I can remember almost nothing. So, all I know what happened after the drinking game is that the alcohol went empty and everyone went through a window to get to a gas station to buy more alcohol. After that, a few went and a few were in Central Park.
Bucky: Is that all?
Wanda: I had a silver dress on, I remember that.
Bucky: And you looked beautiful. (He says so silent that I can barely hear it.)
Wanda: What did you say?
Bucky: Nothing at all, but can not you really remember anymore? (He says and seems a little disappointed.)
Wanda: I was in Central Park, at least Pietro and Carol said that.
Bucky: Yeah, we drove together in a taxi and got off in the wrong place. We walked through the park for a while because we did not get out at the right place. We only arrived when everyone left. We both had a good time anyway.
Wanda: Wow, I wish I could remember that.
(Before any of us can say anything, Natasha comes to us and tells us that we have an important meeting tomorrow, when she leaves we go in as well.)
(Conversation ends here)
I go to the bathroom and take a hot bath. Rose scent, a few candles and me, alone. Yes, I deserve that now. Finally, relaxation. I try to remember yesterday evening. I sit down and stay there for a while.
Time jump 1h
I dry myself and go to my room to get a nice dress. In the meantime, I remembered a few things from last night. I remembered a part of what happened when Bucky and I were alone. We did not just mess around with Truth or Dare, but also in the taxi. Better said, if we had been alone there would have been more. But fortunately nothing happened, I would rather remember something like that. Apparently I could only confess to myself in the drunken state that I am attracted to Bucky. When we got out of the taxi yesterday we were in Central Park for a while, and he went to different places with me. I just wonder how drunk he was ...
It's late evening, someone just knocked on the door. I go to open it. To my surprise, Natasha is in front of me. I ask her what she is doing here.
(Conversation between Wanda and Natasha)
Wanda: Hey Natasha, what are you doing here?
Natasha: I wanted to see how you are, do you have such a bad hangover?
Wanda: Only in the beginning, I feel better now, I was already in the fitness room.
Natasha: Seriously? I only woke up half an hour ago, and you were already in the fitness room. Were you alone?
Wanda: No, Carol was there, too.
Natasha: That was sort of obvious, she left early too. Did you see anyone else today?
Wanda: Well, I met Bucky in the hallway.
Natasha: Yeah, sure, Bucky, why not ... (she says quietly and seems very absent)
Wanda: Is everything alright?
Natasha: What?
Wanda: I asked you if everything was alright.
Natasha: Yeah, sure, sure ...
Wanda: Okay, is there anything else?
Natasha: No, I just wanted to tell you that, tomorrow is an important meeting, we should all be there.
Wanda: Okay, good.
Natasha: Okay, well, see you tomorrow!
Wanda: Bye, see you tomorrow!
(Conversation ends here)
Time jump next day
I am awakened by Pietro at 7 o'clock. I take a quick shower, plait my plait, and put on a white collared shirt with a dark red sweater and black shorts, with over-knee boots. I wear little makeup. Pietro is already working.
I leave 5 minutes later. In the hall I meet Bucky. We go to the meeting together. We do not talk to each other.
When we arrived at the meeting, we all sit down, and Maria Hill explains what's going on. There is currently no as much threat as aliens, but we have to do an undercover mission in groups.
Many SHIELD agents are on missions, so we have to be assigned to them. So in the near future, we'll do that more often. Any such agent has stolen important information and we need to prevent the disclosure.
All right, Maria has given us a plan to let us know who we are with:
Plan:
Group A: Steve, Natasha, Thor, Carol
Group B: Bucky, Wanda, Sharon
Group C: Sam, Rhodey, Pietro, Vision
Group A flies to Washington, Carol and Natasha monitor everything in the van, Steve and Thor look for the partner of the enemy agent and keep an eye on him, so that we can pursue him and are prepared for anything.
Group B, that gets a bit complicated, you fly to Los Angeles, we know there the handover will take place, if everything goes perfectly, we know the exact time and venue. Sharon is on the plane, from where she can monitor everything. You will be provided with a private jet. Now comes the hardest part, the undercover part. Me and Bucky have to spend ourselves as tourists, staying close to the enemy all the time.
Group C is in Russia for security reasons, where, according to our information, the client is waiting in case everything goes wrong.
"Do you understand everything?" Maria asks, we all know each other. We are all preparing for the mission. I have to look like someone just on holiday in California. I'll get it ...
I opt for a blue hotpants, a cropped black top and blue sandals, and a red heart-shaped sunglasses. Bucky already has his undercover clothes on. We get on the plane with Sharon and get up. I wonder how it should end.
* A while later on the plane *
I found a quiet corner in the plane and stay there for a while. Bucky has been in this corner for a while now. We are alone here. It's kind of a connection, an attraction between us. I could say, you could cut the sexual tension with a knife. However, the mood is interrupted when the pilot says that we should sit down, since we land the same.
Time jump
Me and Bucky are targeting the target person. We follow him. We are just arriving at a restaurant. He meets another woman! "The handover is in the restaurant, the target person meets a woman," I say over the radio to Sharon. Sharon orders us to go to the restaurant and we should be as inconspicuous as possible.
(Conversation between Bucky and Wanda and Sharon over the radio)
Wanda: In how far away, as inconspicuous as possible?
Sharon: Do everything you can to make sure that is not an undercover mission, take a look around and think about which people are going there. Then you think about other names, and for security reasons, a backstory.
Bucky: Here are mostly couples.
Sharon: Well, then you know what you have to do!
(End of conversation)
Bucky and I line up at the reception. During that we quietly talk about what we should say.
(Conversation at the reception)
Bucky: A table for two please!
Waitress: I'm sorry, we have no free tables anymore.
(We see how a table is set free next to the target person, but someone else might get it right away if it were like getting the table, it would have been so nice ...)
Wanda: Please, look it up, we would really like to celebrate our engagement here, we got to know each other here.
(Bucky looks at me confused, but he plays along)
Bucky: Um, yes ...
Waitress: Oh! I can apparently give you a free table, the reservation is already over anyway, they can have the table from me.
(The waitress takes us to the table, we are alone, but can hear and see the target person)
Bucky: What will that be?
Wanda: Just play along and be happy, otherwise we would not have got the table!
Bucky: Okay. But why exactly this?
Wanda: Look around, Sharon said we should not attract attention and adapt, we have to keep an eye on the target anyway.
Bucky: Hm, okay, yes you're right. (he says it a little sarcastically and looks at me)
Wanda: What? Is what?
Bucky: No. No, it's all right. (He still looks at me like that)
Wanda: Then do not look at me like that all the time.
Bucky: What? I do not do anything, I just admire my beautiful "fiancee". (He says it sarcastically again, and keeps looking at me like that)
Wanda: Oh, come on, stop it!
(We both laugh and talk for a few minutes.)
Bucky: Look, they're leaving.
Wanda: Okay, let's go after them.
(Conversation ends here)
We follow them, we are just in a park. The woman has already left, Sharon has sent a few agents to pursue her. Do not attract attention, attract no attention. We follow the target person. Crap the guy has seen us. "Crap! He saw us! "I say.
Suddenly I feel his hands on my back, he pulls me to him and he kisses me. It's confusing, and it's not the first time, but this time I'm getting it. It feels good. I enjoy it.
He stops. The target person just ignored us because we kissed each other. The person is distracted, I use that and call Sharon. During that, Bucky takes care that the guy does not disappear. By that I mean, he threatens him with a gun, because now no one except us is here. After a few minutes, Sharon arrives with the agents and arrests the target. Bucky and I go back to the plane.
When we get there, Sharon says over the radio that she'll be there in a few minutes, and we'll fly back to New York. Bucky and I are alone now.
We talk about the mission and how it all went. "You could have done anything as a distraction, why did you kiss me?" I ask. "No idea, but it worked," he says. "You have no idea why, that's all?" I ask, taking a few steps towards him. He gets up and takes a few steps towards me. "Yes, that's all," he says. Now we are only a few inches away from each other.
Two minutes later ...
One thing led to the other, now I'm sitting on his lap and we're making out. His hand is under my top, he's about to take off my clothes. It gets more intense every second.
I know, I know, that escalated quickly.
Suddenly we get interrupted by the radio. It's Sharon, she wants to talk to us on the radio. Annoyed, we stop, and I go to the radio, turn it on, and hear Sharon as she tells us she's done, and the target person comes aboard to come to New York.
Apparently most of the survey will take place there. I still have to talk to Bucky. When I go straight over to him, Sharon comes here with the target person.
He is a friend of Alexander Pierce. I know this guy. I've seen him at Hydra more often. I hate this guy. He is handcuffed to a free seat. Bucky looks at him as if he would kill him anytime, just like that. Apparently he knows him too. Sharon looks at us and asks if we know him.
(Conversation)
Bucky: He's one of Pierce's confidants. I have seen him often at Hydra in recent years.
Sharon: Pierce is in jail. So, who gave the order?
Wanda: I suppose we have to find out.
Sharon: What do you think, will he talk?
Bucky: I do not think so, but I already know how to make him talk ...
Sharon: We do not have to think about violence yet, understand?
Wanda: Well, so I think it's inevitable.
Sharon: No, we'll try talking!
Bucky: Oh, right? I think he'll talk, but not right away, it's just a waste of time.
Wanda: He should suffer.
Bucky: He should die.
Wanda: Painful.
Bucky: And slowly.
Wanda: And-
Sharon: WE TRY IT WITHOUT VIOLENCE !!!
Bucky: As you say ...
Wanda: a waste of time ...
Friend of Alexander Pierce: Well, I could talk, but I do not know if I want that ...
Sharon: So, let's start with your name.
Friend of Alexander Pierce: Ray Studer
Sharon: So then Ray, talk!
Ray: Just with her, alone. (He points to me)
Bucky: What do you want from Wanda?
Sharon: That's right, why do you just want to talk to her?
Ray: I know her, she's one of the experiments, one of two surviving experiments.
Wanda: Do not talk about me like that, I'm a human and not an experiment!
Ray: Cute, that you think you're still human, but believe me, you're not human in any way, you're a weapon and not a human, understand?
(I feel like I'm going to cry just because he's kind of right ... I get tears in my eyes, all notice it.)
Ray: What, it's the truth, you serve only for purpose, a weapon, that's all you are.
(Bucky goes up to him and hits him.)
Sharon: Alright, again, and this time around, you stick with it because the guy you work for is certainly not human.
Ray: Yes, he only needs to be sacrificed for the right thing. Agent 13, that's just not human anymore, no, it's a weapon.
(He still thinks of me ... I feel really bad right now, I feel like I would not be able to breathe in. Bucky and Sharon realize I'm feeling worse.)
Bucky: Did you just say "it"?!?
Wanda: I'm not a weapon and I'm not an experiment!
Ray: Yes, you are, just like your brother. You are both weapons, and, most of all, he is still human.
(I walk up to him and use my powers, the lights flicker, I hurt him, it's nice, I barely notice Sharon and Bucky trying to stop me, they say I should stop, and I'm supposed to keep him alive Ray screams in pain, the lights go out, everything goes dark Ray is afraid for his life He bleeds, I tear him from the inside I can barely control myself, I just want to see Ray suffer, His pain is everything which just makes me happy, a few bones are broken ...)
Ray: OKAY I say! I SAY EVERYTHING! BUT STOP THIS MONSTER!
Sharon: Wanda! Stop it now! Wanda! He wants to talk, we did it!
Bucky: Wanda, he wants to talk! You can kill him afterwards!
Sharon: No, she can not, he's going to jail.
Ray: PLEASE, please stop.
(I realize how slow I'm back in control, only now I'm realizing what's going on here.) I stop.)
Sharon: Wanda, are you alright?
Wanda: I, I do not know what that was, so, yes, no, me, I have to get out of here!
(Confused I get out of the plane, Bucky goes after me.)
Bucky: Wanda, wait!
Wanda: Can you just leave me alone! I do not even know what happened in there, okay?
Bucky: Wanda, I'm not judging you because of what happened, I just want you back on the plane. We're flying back to the current SHIELD headquarters and the guy is talking. You made it, he will talk. After being cared for by a doctor.
Wanda: Oh god, what have I done, I almost killed him. (I'm almost crying)
Bucky: If you had not, I probably would have. You have not done anything wrong in my opinion.
Wanda: That's just your opinion.
Bucky: I pretend that did not hurt my feelings.
Wanda: That's not what it meant.
Bucky: Come on, let's go back in.
Wanda: Okay, let's just fly back ...
(Conversation ends here)
Once in the plane, I see the devastation for which I'm responsible, again exactly. And I see Ray, and a lot of blood, I can not believe it was me. Ray looks at me scared, Sharon comes up to us.
(Conversation)
Sharon: Hey guys, there is bad news.
Ray: The witch destroyed the plane! Kill her! Witches should be hanged and burned again!
(I throw a knife in his direction with telekinesis, and stop it just in front of his face)
Wanda: If you are not quiet right now I'll split your head in two!
Sharon: Wanda, calm down.
Bucky: Well, I'd like to watch you kill him. But I would even rather kill him myself.
Sharon: Come on down both, so the plane has a little damage fixed until tomorrow.
Bucky: So, are we flying tomorrow?
Sharon: Yes, we will not be flying until tomorrow.
Wanda: But where should we stay overnight today?
Sharon: It's complicated, I booked a room in a motel, it's half an hour away. Ray will stay here and he has to be supervised. That's why two will always stay here and take care of him. And two can sleep, so here's the plan:
You two, take on the first night shift, together. That would be from now to two o'clock. Then, at two o'clock, I come and the pilot, he is also an agent. You can then sleep from 3:30 to 7 o'clock. OK?
Wanda: Okay.
Bucky: Okay.
Sharon: Well then, see you later!
(She and the pilot leave, me and Bucky are alone with Ray.)
(Conversation ends)
Bucky and I go into the cabin with the computer that has the surveillance camera videos. From here, we can watch him. I lean against the Wanda, and I'm still depressed about what happened before. I broke the lights so the pilot had to turn on the emergency power. It is not really bright, but you can see enough. Luckily, the surveillance cameras are in night mode. Time passes without us talking much. But I can not concentrate on anything because Ray's words are still going through my head.
(Conversation)
Wanda: Am I really just a Weapon?
Bucky: Wanda, no, you're not a weapon, of course. (He's trying to comfort me somehow.)
Wanda: Answer honestly.
Bucky: Wanda, come on, please do not think of that.
Wanda: You, too, think that I am no longer human, right?
Bucky: It's true, you're no longer a normal person, but-
Wanda: But what? A weapon, a monster, a witch? Tell me!
Bucky: You are different.
Wanda: What do you mean, different?
Bucky: You are unique. That makes you better than him. That's why you're better for me than any other person.(It's quiet for a few seconds, then we hear from the room where Ray is making noises.) The moment we look at the camera, the emergency power goes out.)
Bucky: I find what's going on.
Wanda: Okay.
(Bucky has been gone for a few minutes, I should see if everything is alright, I'm suddenly pulled back on the way, I scream, Suddenly I feel a blade on my neck, THE KNIFE, I threatened Ray, and it He has cut the shackles with it, he puts me on one of the bands that prevent my powers, I can not use my powers, I get scared.)
Wanda: LET ME GO!
Ray: Keep quiet, then you'll get a quick death. But, you would have preferred to let me die painfully and slowly.
Wanda: No!
Ray: Oh yes, you will die, painfully and slowly.
Bucky: No, she will not.
Bucky: Wanda, why do not you use-
Ray: She can not use her powers. Now she is neither a human nor a weapon. Nothing, just nothing.
(I try to use my powers, but it does not work. When I try again, something strange happens, I grab his arm and he starts to burn.)
Sharon: Wanda, Bucky, what's going on here?
Bucky: It's complicated, he wanted to get away
Bucky: Is that even possible? She has her powers through Loki's scepter. Should she even be able to do that?
Sharon: Only if she already had powers before that.
Bucky: What do you mean?
Sharon: It may be that she was already a mutant before birth, only her real powers are only now revealed. She has to stop.
(Ray burns, this feeling, it's evil, but it feels good ...)
Bucky: Wanda, stop it! Everything is alright. He will not kill you.
Sharon: Wanda! Can you hear us?
Sharon: It looks like she is not conscious.
Bucky: What?
Sharon: She can not control it!, then he wanted to kill Wanda and he gave her this band that was supposed to prevent her skills.
Sharon: Does other people burn their actual skills?
Bucky: Not that I know.
Sharon: Ray has been burning for a while, he should be dead. It looks like he's just in pain and Wanda lets him live.
(I come back to myself, I do not want that, I do not want to kill him, I let him go, he's not dead, he's not burned or hurt.)
Wanda: What?
Bucky: You just stepped away ...
Ray: I live! I burned, I felt it, but I'm still alive ...
(I look around, and notice how everyone is staring at me, and what I did, this band, I've already torn down again, I feel like I'm not going to breathe ...)
Wanda: I have to get out of here.
Bucky: Wanda!
(I'm off the plane)
(Conversation ends here)
I go to the park, from earlier. I do not know why, but I stay on the bench, the bench near the spot where Bucky kissed me. I stay here for a while ...
