“ Sam stop knocking at my door! I’m getting dressed,” I yell while sliding a shirt over my head.

“ Well hurry up! You’re taking too long Wendy,” Sam groans from outside my door.

I roll my eye playfully and finish getting dressed. I just got done training with Steve so I took a shower. And Sam insisted we play video games until I go out on patrol tonight. I only go on patrol every once in a while, I’m the only Avenger that does. I just like to stop the small crimes every now and then also. Even though Spiderman does that all of the time. I’ve never actually seen him in person. I’ve seen news stories about him, but never in person. Some people don’t like Spiderman, they say that he’s a vigilante. But personally I think he’s just…trying to help.

“ Wandaa, come on,” Sam whines again.

God for a 29 year old man he sure acts like a toddler. I finally open my door and immediately I see the man I call my best friend standing there with his arms crossed.

“ Took you long enough, now come play Mario Kart with me,” He exclaims.

I wouldn’t say that I don’t have any other friends. I mean, I have one other friend other than Sam. However he isn’t my age at all. I’m only 16. The one friend I do have that is my age is Shuri, King T’Challa’s sister. I don’t see her much, only on the rare occasions that we go to Wakanda. But we talk on the phone all the time, she’s a very good friend of mine. The rest the Avengers are just my family. Since I’m the youngest Avenger everyone just makes me feel protected and cared for. And I love them all for that. Sam and I even made a family tree one time. Tony would be my dad, Pepper would be my mom, Clint would be my other dad when he’s here, Nat would be my aunt, Steve would be my uncle, Bruce and Thor would be my brothers.

It’s weird actually. How I used to hate all of these people. I thought Tony Stark killed my parents, and now I see him as a parental figure. It’s all very different than I would have thought earlier on.

“ Pick you’re character Witchy Woo,” Sam tells me.

I glare playfully at him and look back at the big TV screen. The blue light color for player 2 moves over and I choose Toad. We start the race and after a few rounds of playing, Sam has won five rounds and I have won four. We are currently on our last one, we’re driving the Rainbow Road. Sam is in front of me and we are arriving to the finish line. But at the last second I throw a red turtle shell at him and I win. Sam yells and I smirk.

“ I told you I was going to beat you.”

The man next to me rolls his eyes and flips me off.

“ Watch what you’re doing to my kiddo Wilson,” I hear a familiar voice speak as he walks into the living room.

Tony is standing there looking at us. Sam puts his hand down and sticks his tongue out at me like a child. I stand up and walk over to Tony.

“ You going on patrol tonight,” He asks me.

I nod and he ruffles my hair with a smile. “ Okay, be careful.”

——————————————————————

I am walking along roofs of buildings. There are no crimes or anything going on. It’s one of those nice and peaceful nights. Which I’m not complaining about. I haven’t learned how to fly with my powers yet. No one is sure how to try and teach me. I can jump a little higher with the helps of them. But other than that there is no sky work for me. I look down at the corset that is my costume. The dark red corset, the red leather pants, and a red leather jacket. Sometimes I wish I had a mask, it seems like it would be easier. Not having everyone know you and what you’ve done. But I guess that’s just not meant to be me. Suddenly I hear screaming in an alleyway nearby. I look over and jump off the building. I stop myself from falling too hard with my magic. I start running in the direction of the screaming. I see a man trying to rob two women, and he has a gun. I use my magic to flick the gun from his hand. His head snaps to me and I tilt my head.

“ Oh fuck,” The man curses.

I throw a hex at him and he lands roughly against a brick wall. I walk over to the two women and they look at me.

“ Oh thank you so much,” One of them says with relief.

That’s when I hear another gun cock. I look up and there is a group of men standing there with their guns pointed at me. What was this a group robbery? I can still take them, I’m Wanda Maximoff. It’s just weird. Next I know there is someone standing behind the group of men. Holy shit it’s Spiderman! He clears is throat and the men all turn around quickly.

“ A party? Without me? How rude,” Spiderman says sarcastically before webbing one the guy’s feet and slamming him into the wall.

I start fighting some of the men while Spiderman fights the others. About 2 minutes later they are all either webbed up or too tired to fight anymore. I turn around and Spiderman is already looking at me. He is breathing heavily and I am a little too. This is my first time seeing the famous Spiderman in person. And my god is he attractive. I can’t even see his face but I know he’s attractive. The way his spandex suit fits his body, I can see his abs through the suit. His hands, his voice, the suit also fits the behind portion of his well also. God I sound like a pervert.

“ Hey,” He finally says breathlessly.

I wonder what he is thinking about. Is he checking me out the way I am doing to him? I can’t see his eyes unfortunately.

“ Hi,” I reply with my accent a little thicker due to me being nervous.

Before we can say anything else, sirens are heard coming our way. Spiderman looks up and shoots a web, quickly swinging away. I run to the direction back to the Avengers tower. Once I get back home to my room I change out of my suit and plop down on my bed. I stare up at the ceiling with a sigh. I hope I see Spiderman again soon.

I really hope I see him again soon…

Chapter Text

Being an Avenger isn’t exactly the easiest thing. I mean don’t get me wrong, I love this. I love the Avengers, I love helping people. But people knowing everything about you and your past, it sucks. Sometimes I wish I had a mask that I could wear so people can’t see my face. And I guess I could have added it to my costume. But everyone already knew who I was because of everything in Sokovia. So it was no use. I mean right now I am just sitting on the roof of a building near an alleyway. And everyone can see my face and just say “ oh look it’s Wanda Maximoff, the Avenger, on top of a building”. I look down and let my feet dangle off the side of the building. I have my suit on, there are just no crimes as of right now. And I had nothing better to do. Tony and Pepper are on a date night in the Manhattan. Sam is hanging out with Steve somewhere. Natasha is on a small mission with Nick Fury in a different state. Clint is with his family in Missouri. Everyone else is doing something. That’s another thing. I’m the only Avenger my age. I don’t talk to anyone outside of the Avengers, because they are all I have. Everyone else just sees me as that, either an Avenger or a monster. I hear a thud behind me and I tense up. I quickly turn around and see someone I definitely didn’t expect. Spiderman.

“ Oh hey,” He says, clearing his throat quietly afterwards.

I kind of look at him in shock for a second before actually responding.

“ Hi…,” I reply softly, trying to hide my nervousness.

This is my second time seeing him, we didn’t get to actually talk last time.

“ I can go- um…if you want to just be alone,” He exclaims.

I shake my head with a smile and motion him to sit by me. He walks over and sits next to me, so we are almost touching shoulders. I can practically feel the tension between us, but I’m not sure it’s bad tension. He looks over at me, the only reason I know that is because he moved his whole head to look at me. I glance at him also, thinking of something to talk about.

“ So…Ms Maximoff. What are you doing out here by yourself. You look bored,” Spiderman speaks.

I laugh a little and look out into the sky.

“ Yeah well…I have nothing better to do,” I shrug.

He chuckles too and looks at his lap. “ I get that…wanna do something,” he asks.

I look at him again and I realize he’s already looking at me.

“ What did you have in mind,” I smile.

Next I know we are laying next to each other on a big web Spiderman has made over the alleyway between buildings. We aren’t touching at all, but our shoulders almost are. We are just talking about random things.

“ Who’s your favorite Avenger,” He questions.

I groan playfully and move some of my hair out of my face. I’m not sure I can just choose one of them. I mean I know the ones I’m closest too. But they are all my favorite.

“ I’m not sure I have one. They are all pretty great,” I state.

The man in the suit next to me hums. There is a silence between us for a few seconds. I’m just staring at the sky, the sun is going to start setting soon. But I can feel Spiderman staring at me.

“ You’re really pretty…,” I hear him tell me.

I look at him in shock and I feel my cheeks turn red. He thinks I’m pretty? I’ve never heard someone tell me that before. Well Pietro used to tell me all of the time actually. But he was my brother, so it didn’t mean as much as this does.

“ Oh, T-Thank you! I can’t exactly see what you look like, but from what I can see…you aren’t too bad yourself Spiderman,” I giggle.

He laughs too and puts his hands under his head. I wonder what he looks like under the spandex suit. His hair, is it longer or is it short like a buzz cut? Is he blonde, a red head, black hair? What color are his eyes? I have so many questions I want to ask. I want to know him. But I won’t ask too many, not tonight.

“ How old are you, really,” I blurt out.

He continues looking into the sky, not answering at first.

“ Well that kind of defeats the whole purpose of the masked superhero thing doesn’t it? If you know my identity,” He teases.

“ Well I’m not exactly asking for your name, am I? I just want to make sure I’m not telling an adult that he’s attractive to me,” I smirk.

I can tell that made him more confident in the way his chin tilted up more and the way he laughed.

“ I’m 16, same age as you Ms Maximoff. Don’t worry,” He says.

“ You know…you can call me Wanda. That’s my name, you make me sound old when you say miss,” I state with a laugh.

He looks at me once again and hums. That makes me feel a tingling feeling inside of me.

“ Ok Wanda… I like talking to you,” He admits.

Oh god what is he doing to me? I don’t even know his real name, nothing about him except his age and favorite color. Yet he is making me feel ways I have never felt before. The way he is talking to me, complementing me. No one has ever talked to me like this before.

“ I like talking to you too Spidey,” I smile widely.

I can tell he wants to says something, so I wait for him to ask the question before talking again.

“ Why aren’t you reading my mind to see who I am. I mean- I know you can do that. And I know you want to know, so why don’t you,” He finally blurts out.

I feel his hand near mine and I let my hand shift a little so the sides out of hands are slightly touching, but not to the point where we are holding hands.

“ Well…that’s an invasion of privacy. I’ve never liked reading people’s minds unless they want me too. It’s just…not something I want to do to someone. If someone trusts me enough then they will tell me or show me. I can wait to know who you are. It’s not worth your trust for me to find out,” I reply softly.

That’s when I feel a warmth engulf my hand. I look down and Spiderman is holding my hand. Butterflies form in my stomach and I just feel like screaming into a pillow. I let myself hold his hand in return, but we just continue looking at the sky. The sun is setting, so the sky is beautiful colors of blue, pink, orange, purple, and yellow.

“ Thank you…I trust you. I never trust easily, but for some reason you’re different. I might show you who I am…sometime,” he tells me.

Suddenly I hear a ringing sound and I realize its my phone. I pull it out of my pocket and see that Sam is calling. I ignore his call but then he immediately texts me. ‘ Hey, don’t decline my call!! Cap and I are on our way back to the tower Wendy, we brought you frozen yogurt!! ;)’ I let out a short laugh and put my phone back in my pocket. I look back at the boy next to me. We are still holding hands.

“ I have to go,” I whisper.

He looks at me too and nods, “ I know…I’ll see you again soon. Right?”

I smile and nod, “ I hope so…don’t be a stranger, stranger.” I sit up and he does also.

“ Wait…can I swing you home,” He asks.

My eyes widen, he want to take me home. Should I say yes? He practically flies but…swings.

“ Yeah-yes…sure,” I stutter.

He wraps his arms around my waist and immediately I feel my heart speed up. We’re so close, our chests are touching each others. My arms are around his neck.

“ Is this okay,” He asks me.

I can’t bring myself to get actual words out, so I just nod. He shoots a web and next I know I feel a breeze of wind on me. I gasp and hold onto the boy next to me tighter than before. We get closer to the tower and I see my window.

“ Which room is yours,” He says.

I point to the window that goes into my room and he swings over there. We land on the small balcony next to it. He sets me down and I breathe heavily.

“ Thank you,” I sigh as I look up at him.

“ I’ll see you soon Wanda,” He says, and I can hear a smile in his voice.

He jumps from the balcony and swings away, leaving me to watch him with flushed cheeks.

Chapter Text

Within the past week, I have seen Spiderman five times. I see him when we're both out patrolling, we end up hanging out on a roof or on another one of his webs. We have gotten to know each other a lot this week. I really enjoy the time me and the masked boy spend together. Speaking of, I'm not going to patrol today. As of right now I am sitting in Tony's lab, waiting for him to get done with press meetings for the day, alongside Pepper.

" Hey Friday," I speak out into the room.

" Yes, Ms. Maximoff," The computer system replies.

I close my eyes and shift on the couch in the lab. Tony of course had to have a couch in his lab, a dark red leather couch. It's comfy though, sometimes I come in here when he is doing science-y stuff and just lay here.

" When is Tony going to be back," I ask out loud.

" Mr Stark is leaving the meeting now. He should be back in fifteen minutes," the voice informs me.

I nod and I feel myself drifting off. It won't hurt to sleep for a little bit. I didn't get very good sleep last night, nightmares. Usually Tony would wake up too, but he must have slept all night last night. I let my eyes close and I wrap my arms around myself for warmth.

————————————————————————

I hear a typing noise and my eyes shoot open. How long was I asleep for? There is a blanket on me now that is keeping me warm. Tony is sitting at a table working on a suit I'm sure. I sit up and the blanket falls off of me.

" Why didn't you wake me," I yawn while stretching a bit.

Tony turns around and sees me awake. He smiles and rolls the chair around so he is fully facing me.

" Well hi to you too kid. You needed the sleep, I wasn't gonna wake you up. I just got back probably 20 minutes ago though," He states.

I hum and stand up, walking to sit in a chair next to him. He quickly swipes away the suit he was working on and immediately pulls up something else. I furrow my eyebrows and look at the man next to me.

“ What was that,” I ask with confusion in my voice.

Tony avoids eye contact with me and shrugs, but I can see a small smirk on his face. I roll my eyes and look around.

“ Where’s Pepper,” I question, wanting to talk to her.

“ She’s on our floor, pretty sure she’s making the last invites for the party next week,” Stark tells me casually.

I forgot there was a party next Friday. I am not a fan of parties at all, and normally when my father figure throws one of his infamous parties I stay out there for probably about an hour or less, then go into my room. However, since this party is for something more important, I’m choosing to stay out there most likely the whole time. Because this time the party is for the engagement of Tony and Pepper. I’m so happy for them, I can’t wait for their wedding!

“ Oh right! I’m going to go say hi to her,” I state before standing up and walking towards the elevator.

As I’m going up in the elevator I am scrolling through my phone.

“ Ms. Maximoff. There is someone on the roof who would like to speak to you,” Friday informs me

I look down at the floor of the elevator in shock. What the hell? Someone on the roof? That’s odd. The elevator continues going up to the roof and I just wait, fiddling with my fingers. I’m wearing one of my many black dresses. My brown hair is down and just normal. Nothing fancy, just what I wear a lot. Once the elevator gets to the roof it stops and the doors open. I walk out and look around, the sun starting to set but it’s still light outside. My eyes land on a familiar person. Spiderman is standing on the edge of the roof, just looking down onto the city.

“ Well hello Spidey,” I say flirtatiously, my smile widening a little.

He turns around and I am met with his masked face.

“ Hey Wanda, I just wanted to see you. I missed you,” Spiderman tells me, I can hear the smile in his voice.

I let my cheeks flush red and I walks over to him.

“ I missed you too…I was pretty nervous when I was told someone wanted to speak to me on the roof. I thought you were going to be Nick Fury or something,” I giggle.

He chuckles and shakes his head while also walking closer to me.

“ Nope. It’s just me…”

We are now inches away from each other. I’m looking up at him and from what I can tell, he is looking down at me also. The boy in front of me is probably only 2 or 3 inches taller than me. The tension between us is very strong. And I’m not sure if he feels it too, but it feels like there is a magnet pulling me closer to him.

“ I’ve been thinking about you a lot,” He whispers while stepping closer.

I smile widely and look down nervously. This boy makes me so flustered when he compliments me, it’s different…but a good different. I feel fingers under my chin and Spiderman tilts my head up so I’m facing him again.

“ Yeah…I’ve been thinking about you a lot too,” I agree quietly.

I feel hands on my waist and I look down, Spiderman’s hands. He starts to pull his hands away, clearing his throat and starting to apologize. But I shake my head and puts his hands back to where they were. I lean closer to him and wrap my arms around his neck. Leaning the rest of my body onto his, as he wraps his arms around my waist. His face is hovering over my neck and I can almost feel his breath if it weren’t for the mask in the way. I am facing up at the sky, trying (and failing) to distract myself from the sparks I am feeling.

“ Wanda…can I kiss you,” Spiderman asks breathlessly.

I pull away from him and stare at the mask. I bring my hands to the bottom of his mask and start lifting it up slightly, just to where it is right above his lips. He has pale skin and his lips look very soft. He leans in and the second our lips meet everything kind of stops. Our lips fit together like a puzzle piece. He keeps one arm around my waist and the other hand moves up to cup my cheek. I push myself closer to him and the kiss begins to get a little more passionate. But then he pulls away, he is breathing heavily.

“ Peter Parker…that’s my name,” Spiderman admits.

I beam and let out a small laugh, “ Peter Parker…I like that. Does that mean I get to see your face now?”

He laughs too and nods, he looks around. Making sure no one is out here. But before he moves to take his mask off I stop him.

“ Wait…just in case,” I say frantically while making us both invisible with my magic.

He pulls off his mask and my jaw drops a little. But I quickly pull myself together again. His hair is straight, brown and fluffy looking, he has chocolate brown eyes, a nice jawline. He’s extremely handsome, and I just kissed him.

“ Hi,” I whisper, my voice cracking a little before I can stop it, only due to me being flustered.

“ Hi,” He says back, almost the exact same way.

We aren’t physically touching anymore, but we’re still inches apart. I open my mouth to say something but then the sound of the doors opening appears. We both freeze but then I remember whoever it is can’t see us. No body knows about me and Spiderman’s…situation.

“ Wanda? Are you out here,” I hear the familiar voice of Natasha call out.

I put my finger over Peter’s lips and he keeps his mouth closed. When Natasha leaves I move my fingers and Peter sighs in relief. I look back up at him and he smiles at me. And oh god that smile is something unbelievable.

“ I should probably go then, huh,” He says hesitantly.

I nod and sigh, “ Probably…can I see you tomorrow?”

His smile widens even more, causing mine to do the same.

“ Yes- Yeah of course,” He exclaims.

I glance at the doors behind me and bite my lip. Peter has put his mask on again and I can no longer see his handsome face. I can’t go down the elevator, they’ll know I was up here and the questions will never end.

I look back to the boy in from of me, who is already looking down at me.

“ You need a lift,” he says with a flirty tone in his voice.

Next I know he is swinging down to my room balcony. Once we land there, I am on the lower part where I can actually stand. Peter is squatting on top of the bar on the edge. I want to kiss him again, I need to kiss him again. I quickly lift up the bottom of his mask again and gently kiss his lips. Letting both of my hands cup his cheeks. He kisses back as soon as our lips meet again. Once I pull away I can see a small blush from under his mask to his neck. I pull the mask down again and walk towards the door to the inside of my room.

“ I’ll see you soon, Peter Parker,” I speak shyly before walking inside.

Out of the corner of my eye I see the Spider boy swing away, I grin and suddenly hear a knock at my door. I walk over to the door and open it. Natasha is standing there with her arms crossed.

“ Where’d you go Red? I’ve been looking for you everywhere,” She asks sarcastically.

Chapter Text

I love my found family. I truly do. I love my biological family, and even though they are gone. I will always love them, they will always be my real family. But here, with the Avengers, I feel as though I fit in. I have heard people say " everything happens for a reason." And I use to hate that so much, I still do. But now I both hate it and understand it. I was meant to be an Avenger, I was meant to be a part of this family. And I'm glad I am. And sometimes I do feel guilty for feeling so at home here. But I know my parents and Pietro would be happy for me. I also do feel guilty about this for another reason as well. I tend to call Tony dad sometimes, rarely, but sometimes. And I know he doesn't have a problem with it, in fact he loves when I call him that. But it's the fact that my biological father is still alive that sort of bothers me. The Avengers don't know that, and I don't plan on telling them. Because my biological father is a horrible man, I haven't seen him since I was 8 years old. My momma and him were together until we were 5. But then they divorced, however my father still saw Pietro and I. He wasn't very nice to us. Actually let me rephrase that. He wasn't very nice to Pietro. He could be sometimes, but for some reason he was always much more nicer to me or around me. But I still hated him, because I loved my brother more than anything. My mama married Olek Maximoff when we were 8 and we started calling him our dad. Because he was so much nicer, to us and to our mother. And our father suddenly disappeared one day. Never coming back. Even after the bombings, even after Pietro was pronounced dead in Sokovia. He never showed up, and I don't want him to. I only know he is still alive because I see rare news stories about him. The infamous Eric Lehnsherr. But I hate him, so hopefully he stays where he is. The Avengers are all the family I need.

" What's going through your mind kiddo," Tony asks while glancing over at me.

I move my food around with my fork and take a bite of it. Steve ordered takeout tonight for like the billionth time. I'm pretty much the only one here who can cook good. But the takeout is good also.

" Nothing, just thinking," I reply with a soft smile.

" She's probably thinking about a boy," Sam teases with a smirk.

I roll my eyes and try to hide the blush that barley forms on my cheeks. Peter and I have been dating for only two weeks. No one knows about it, at least none of the Avengers do. I'll tell them when I'm ready, but as of right now I like the secret dating thing.

" I am not. I'm thinking about how I am going to beat you in mortal combat. Thank you," I say sarcastically.

Sam chuckles and I stick my tongue out at him. I hear a quiet ping from my phone, which no one else but me seems to notice. The others continue talking and I look down at my phone. A text from my boyfriend.

' I miss you Wands. I want to see you'

I hide my smile and immediately go to text him back.

'I miss you too...I'll see you in an hour Spidey.'

He texts back almost immediately, and my smile shows just a bit.

' An hour is way too long of a wait'

I feel my heart swell and I put my phone down on my lap. Continuing to eat my food, hiding my excitement to see my boyfriend. We talk all of the time on the phone, in person when we meet on patrol. Sometimes my web swinging boyfriend might come by here also. But it's secretly, we hang out on the roof for a short amount of time. Once I finish my food I throw the tub into the trash and sit on the counter in the kitchen.

" Are you patrolling tonight Red," Nat asks me as she walks over into the kitchen.

" Yep, I'm going to leave soon," I tell her with a small smile.

She looks at me and raises her eyebrows, then a smirk forms on her lips. I stare at her in confusion and she just shrugs. That was weird. I jump off of the counter and go to my room. I change into my suit then go to leave. I walk into the elevator and press the button to go down. As the elevator starts moving I hear someone clear their throat. I gasp and jump in surprise. Natasha is standing in the corner of the elevator, leaning against the wall.

" What the hell- you scared me," I sigh in relief.

She hums and pushes herself off the wall. She walks over to me and puts her arm over my shoulders.

" So...got anything you wanna tell me Maxi," the red head next to me says.

I tense up and look at her from the corner of my eye. She doesn't know...right? Peter and I wanted to keep us a secret for a while. I clear my throat and shrug slightly.

" Not that I can think of? Why," I reply with a small laugh.

Nat raises her eyebrows and hums. She ruffles my brown hair and when the elevator opens she leans back against the wall.

" Be safe Wands, see you later," She smiles before I leave the elevator.

I walk out of the tower, bouncing slightly as I walk from excitement. I love spending time with Peter, I really do. And it could just be because he is actually my age. But I really do like him, he's so sweet. He always texts me good morning and good night. There's so many things I like about him, I've never felt like this before. I continue walking down the sidewalks but suddenly I feel a gust of air and my feet are off the ground. I gasp and as I am about to scream I realize there are arms around my torso. It's Peter in his Spiderman costume. I wrap my arms around his neck and my legs around his waist. Holding on tightly as he swings us somewhere. Once we land on a roof he puts me on my feet and I playfully push him.

" Don't do that! You scared me," I exclaim with a laugh.

I hear his soft laugh and my smile widens. He grabs my hands and pulls me closer to him. He moves his mask just below his nose and kisses me passionately. He puts his hands on my cheeks and pulls me closer I hum and wrap my arms around his neck. I feel his tongue slip into my mouth and our tongues begin to fight for dominance. I giggle and one of my hands move to the back of his neck and the other goes to his head. After a few minutes of making out we pull away, both of us out of breath. I lean my forehead against his and smile.

" I missed you...a lot," Peter whispers to me.

I hum and pull away from him, turning us invisible with my magic. He pulls his mask off and my eyes meet his.

" I missed you too...even though it was only 2 days ago when we last saw each other," I giggle.

He laughs also and pulls me into a hug. I hug him back and put my fingers in his soft brown hair. I lean my head on his shoulder and sigh.

" What's on your mind Wands," Peter asks me while stroking my hair.

" Nothing...I'm just happy," I tell him softly.

We both move and sit on the edge of the roof, our feet hanging off. But we are still invisible. Our shoulders are touching and we are holding hands.

" You know, Peter. You're my first real boyfriend," I smirk at the boy next to me.

He raises his eyebrows and chuckles, " Really? I'm your first boyfriend ever?"

" Well there was this boy in 3rd grade. We said we were dating for probably three days, we kissed on the playground. But we ended up breaking up because my...my brother fought the guy the next day," I state, but then go quieter when remembering my brother.

Peter looks at me for a while before talking again.

" I know that you consider the Avengers as your family. And you told me that you're real family wasn't here anymore. But if you don't mind me asking...what happened to them," my boyfriend questions softly.

I look down and fiddle with my fingers. I know it's only fair I tell Peter. He told me about his past with his family. About his parents, and about his uncle. I told him how I got my powers, with HYDRA. And he told me how he got his. I don't like talking about my family's death. My parents died a long time ago, so it doesn't hurt as much. But Pietro's death is still pretty fresh. Almost a year ago. I'm going to tell him though, because I trust him.

" My parents died when me and my twin brother, Pietro were 10. My mother and her husband, he was pretty much our dad though. We called him dad. They died in the bombings, in Sokovia. And then HYDRA found Pietro and I. I already told you about that...and you most likely heard about the-the Ultron events in Sokovia. Pietro and I were on Ultron's side at first, because we believed that Tony Stark and the Avengers were the bad guys. But we realized that we were wrong. And we decided to fight with the Avengers to stop Ultron. Ultron was shooting at Clint, Hawkeye, and Pietro saved him. By sacrificing himself," I tell him.

He looks at me in shock and squeezes my hand.

" I'm so sorry," He whispers as he leans in to kiss my temple.

I lean into him and shake my head. I open my mouth to say something but then I am cut off by a loud boom from down the street. Both Peter and I quickly turn our heads that way. We stand up and Peter puts his mask over his face. I make it so we are visible again and we run to the other edge of the roof.

I've never stopped a bank robbery before. I'm much more used to the bigger things. Aliens, Robots, someone or something trying to take over or destroy Earth. But never a bank robbery, until now. Avengers take care of world-threatening people. And all of us Avengers do have our own times where we help with the smaller situations. But I just finished stopping a robbery with Spiderman. It was easy compared to the many missions I've had to go on with the Avengers. Peter is now swinging me back to the Avengers tower, my arms are around his neck and one of his arms is around my waist. We land on my small balcony and I get out of his arms. I look up at him and smile.

" You've never seen my room have you, do you want to come in," I ask flirtatiously.

Peter laughs and walks towards me from the balcony.

" You sure? What if someone sees me," he replies while stepping closer to me.

I smile and shake my head. While most of the Avengers are quite nosy, they do give people privacy. So when my door is closed, they knock.

" They won't come on," I tell my boyfriend.

I take his hand and I open the window. I walk in and Peter does right behind me. He takes his mask off and looks around in shock. All bedrooms in the Avengers Tower are big. When I first got here I was pretty nervous considering my whole room was almost the size of my childhood apartment as a child. Tony and Pepper's room is the biggest though, it's huge and takes up a whole floor. I watch as Peter walks around my room, looking at things. He looks at pictures I have on my walls or my dresser. Me and Sam, me and Natasha, me and Tony, me and Pietro. He has a smile on his face.

" Your room is huge Wands," Peter says as he walks over to me.

I wrap my arms around his neck and yawn.

" Yeah it is, isn't it? Maybe you should come here more," I smirk.

He matches my smirk and sways us a little. My eyes are staring into his doe brown ones. I love his eyes, they're so pretty. The dark brown on the edge but then it ombres and the brown gets lighter towards the middle.

" I definitely should...seems like there's enough space for both of us," He responds.

I hum in agreement and softly kiss his lips. As we kiss I feel his hands move lower down my back. We both stumble back towards my bed, I fall onto the soft mattress and Peter slowly leans down over me. Our lips not parting at all. His hands slide up my waist and towards my face. One of his hands is on my cheek, tilting my face towards his. And the other is in my hair, running his fingers through it. I giggle into the kiss but suddenly there is a loud knock on my door. We gasp and pull away from each other. We look around for somewhere Peter can hide without being caught. I point to the closet and he leaps into there and quietly closes the door. I clear my throat and try to hide how flustered I am.

" Who is it," I call out shakily.

" It's me kiddo," I hear Tony call from the other side of the door.

" Come in," I reply hesitantly while glancing toward the closed closet door.

The door opens and Tony walks in, leaving the door cracked. I'm sitting on my bed now, trying to act normal. He plops down on my bed next to me and puts his arms behind his head. I continue to sit crisscross on my bed, casually glancing at the closet.

" Hey kiddo, whatcha doing," Tony speaks with a smile.

" Nothing...just about to watch TV. What's up," I say while fiddling with my fingers.

" You're about to watch TV in your suit? That's different...anyways I just wanted to tell you the news before Romanoff decides to tease you about it or something," he chuckles.

I laugh nervously with him and he stares at my ceiling. Still laying in the same position.

" Romanoff told me she found this 16-year-old boy who is apparently really smart and likes the science stuff. And she said he would be great for an internship for me. Not like I need any more interns but she insisted I give him a shot since he's your age and is a big fan of me. Then again who isn't a fan of me," Stark trails off with a smirk.

My eyes widen, Natasha is trying to hook me up with someone. She wants me to get a boyfriend, not knowing I already have one. I glance at the closet door, knowing Peter is most definitely listening.

" So I sent him an invitation to the party this Friday. So you'll get to meet him, he lives in Queens so I'll have Happy go get him," Stark tells me.

I furrow my eyebrows and look down. Queens? A 16-year-old boy? Fan of Tony Stark and a Science nerd. This sounds a lot like my boyfriend.

" What is his name," I ask my father figure hesitantly.

" Peter Parker," Tony replies and I choke on my spit in my mouth.

A small thud is heard in my closet and both of our heads turn that way. Tony looks confused, as he is about to say something my door opens all the way and a familiar redhead walks in. Natasha, and she's wearing a black tight-fitting dress that goes down to her knees.

" Hey red, sorry to bother whatever sweet conversation I'm sure you guys were having. But you still have my red leather jacket right," Nat asks with a smirk.

Realization runs through me as I realize I do still have the jacket, and it's in my closet. Where Peter also just so happens to be.

" Um...no I don't have it anymore. I gave it back to you," I say quickly.

She rolls her eyes and starts walking to the closet. " No, you didn't. You still have it, I just need it tonight then you can have it back," She chuckles as she opens the door.

I gasp and open my mouth to say something, but then she gasps dramatically. I bite my lip and prepare for her to say something about Peter. But then she walks out with the jacket and closes the door again.

" Look what I found," She teases as she slides the jacket on.

" Hey I gotta go kid, Pepper wants me upstairs. I'm probably in trouble, see you a little later though," Tony states as he leaves the room.

Natasha follows after him, once my door is fully closed and they have walked away I stand up quickly. I rush over to the closet and open the door. I look around but I don't see Peter, where did he go? I move to turn around but I am met with a hard chest. I pull away and Peter is looking at me with a smile.

" That was scary! I thought I was about to get caught in your bedroom by THE Black Widow. I was sticking to the ceiling," Peter whisper-yells.

I giggle and hug him tightly. I don't know what would have happened if I had gotten caught with Spiderman in my room at 9 pm. Let alone us making out and him not having his mask on. I pull away from him and kiss him deeply. As we are walking back into the room, we don't disconnect our lips at all. But then suddenly a ringing sound is heard and Peter pulls away. He pulls his phone out of his pocket and looks at it.

" It's my Aunt," He states before keeping one hand on my hip and the other holding his phone against his ear.

He pulls me closer to him once he answers his phone. I lean on my toes and hover my lips over his neck, placing soft kisses every once in a while.

" Yeah, Aunt May...I'm finishing up my patrol...Thai food?...that sounds good...okay yeah I'll be home soon May...I promise I'm being safe...Milk?...Yeah I can bring that home, I'll be home soon," Peter speaks on the phone.

He puts his phone away after hanging up and he pulls me in for a kiss. I put my hands in his hair and then pull away slowly.

" So...I'm coming to a party here Friday? Not as Spiderman, meeting Tony Stark, and I get to see you in a fancy dress? I'm so ready," He says with a smile on his face.

I blush and shake my head. I have no idea what I'm wearing, Natasha is taking me to get a dress tomorrow. But now that Peter is coming, I need to make sure I look good.

" Oh, I bet you are, well be prepared. Tony Stark's parties are big, and you will be bombarded with questions by middle-aged people. And you will most likely be asked if you're dating me since we are around the same age," I giggle.

He laughs also and kisses my cheek. He walks over to the window and opens it. I follow him out of the window and he pulls his mask over his face again. He stands on the edge of the balcony and I smile up at him.

" Text me later Spidey," I flirt with a large smile on my face.

" Sure thing pretty. See you around," He says before blowing me a kiss and jumping off the balcony. A few seconds later I see him swinging away over the streets.

———————————————————————

" What about this one, it would look cute on you,” Nat exclaims while holding up a tan dress.

It looks tight fitting but also has slits on the waist where it shows skin. It would probably go down to above my knees, which isn’t too bad. But I don’t necessarily want a tan dress, and I don’t want to show skin like that either.

“ I don’t think so…oh this one is nice,” I say while showing her a short dark blue dress.

It’s strapless and would probably go down to my mid-thigh. It flares out at the bottom also. I like it, but I’m not sure it suits me. Nat hums and glances between me and the dress.

“ Well…it would look good on you. But maybe we should keep looking, in case we find a different one,” Nat suggests.

I nod and we continue to look for a dress. I hear Natasha clear her throat and I look over to her. She’s holding a very pretty dress. It’s a lot longer than the others, but not to the point where it would go past my feet. It’s a silk red but with a see-through black fabric over the silk part. At the top, there are black spaghetti straps and there is a slit that starts from the thigh down to the bottom. The dress is loose around the chest area, tighter around the waist and hips, and then it just hangs down. I smile and nod at her.

“ I’ll take that one,” I exclaim with a grin.

Chapter Text

Today is the day of the party and I'm very nervous. Peter is excited of course, he's never been to a Tony Stark party. And he's ecstatic to meet Tony. But I'm more nervous because Peter is going to be there. I wouldn't have a problem with the Avengers finding out that we're dating, but I don't know how he would feel about it. I mean I like running around in secret, but it would be nice for my family to know who I'm with. However, I can wait. Natasha is in my room curling my hair as I sit in a chair in front of my vanity. I smile at the thought of seeing Peter in a suit. Nat clears her throat and smirks.

" What are you thinking about Red," she asks me.

I look down and bite my lip to try and hide my smile. I shrug in response and fiddle with a strand of my hair. But then she smacks my hand away from my hair.

" Are you thinking about Peter," She smirks.

I don't really take in what she says so I continue to play with the strings of my shorts.

" Yeah, I just- wait what?! How...," I exclaim while making eye contact with her in the mirror.

" Wanda Maximoff you really thought you could hide something from me? I'm Black Widow remember, I was trained to be an Assassin. No one can hide anything from me," She chuckles while curling a piece of my hair.

" Oh...why are you just now saying something," I ask with confusion.

" Because tonight he's coming here. I'm not gonna tell Stark or anyone else about you two unless you want me to. But I know you guys are gonna want to dance or something romantic. So what's your plan with that," Nat asks me.

" I'm not sure, I haven't really thought about it. I guess we'll see," I respond.

Natasha hums and finishes up with my hair. Then she grabs her bag which has a bunch of makeup in it.

" So...you wanna tell me about him," Nat teases while starting to put makeup on me.

I blush and attempt to hide my smile but it doesn't work very well. I don't really know how to put my relationship with Peter into words. He's my first boyfriend. And I've never gotten a chance for someone to like me romantically. But I love him, and I'm terrified of that. Everyone I've ever loved, I ended up losing. And what if he thinks we're moving too fast if I tell him I love him? Or what if he doesn't love me back?

" He's so sweet. I've never been in a relationship before, so maybe it's just because it's my first. But I think I love him, Nat," I admit.

She chuckles and puts blush on my cheeks. Every few seconds she glances into my eyes and then looks back to the makeup.

" Tell me more, how does he treat you," The redhead in front of me asks.

My smile widens and I relax a little more knowing she accepts it.

" So well. He texts me good morning and good night. Every time we see each other he immediately kisses me and asks how my day was. He always wants to see me and call me. He tells me about his past with his family and he listens to my stories. It's like it's not even real. I feel like he's too good for me. And I'm scared of loving him because everyone I've ever loved ended up dying and I don't want him to die. He doesn't deserve that," I ramble.

Natasha stops and pulls away, looking at me with a frown.

" Look Red, by the way, you're talking about. And the way he treats you. I think he loves you too. I get you're scared, you've been through a lot. But you don't have to think everyone is going to leave you. You can protect him, I'm sure he can protect himself also considering he's Spiderman. Everything will be fine," She assures me.

I smile and nod, she's right. She usually is.

" Yeah you're right," I chuckle out loud.

" Have you two had sex yet," She teases.

My eyes widen and my jaw drops. Of course, I wouldn't mind having sex with Peter. I wouldn't mind at all. But we haven't, and being asked that question by Natasha Romanoff is definitely a shocking thing.

" No! No- we haven't," I say frantically.

————————————————————————

The party started 10 minutes ago and I haven't seen Peter yet. We talked earlier and he said he was coming but maybe he decided not to. I'm leaning against the wall with a cup of punch in my hand. Tony made sure there was something other than alcohol since he doesn't want me drinking. Tony and Pepper are off talking to someone. I have no idea where Sam went, Nat and Steve probably went and talked to someone also. I stand up straight when I notice someone walking over to me. It's an older woman, she looks very fancy. She has platinum blonde-ish hair that's put tightly into a bun. Her dress is a rose gold color.

" Hello, you're Wanda Maximoff? Well don't you look pretty," the woman says politely.

" Oh thank you! Yes, that's me, I like your dress," I speak up.

" So how do you like being an Avenger? You've only been one for what...a year," The woman asks.

" It's nice, I love it. They're like a family," I chuckle.

The woman keeps talking but I accidentally zone out when I feel eyes on me. I slowly glance to the side and finally, see Peter. He's standing by a crowd of people, staring at me with his eyes wide. He's wearing a black and white suit. I smile and I feel my cheeks flush.

" Oh well, it was so nice to meet you Ms. Maximoff. You have a nice night, I'm going to find my husband," The woman chuckles after she finishes her sentence.

She walks away and Peter starts coming toward me. I step closer to him and eventually, he's right in front of me. Both of us have wide smiles on our faces. He looks very handsome. His hair is slicked back a little with water so it's not as fluffy as normal. I catch him glancing at my lips a few times and I know he's resisting the urge to kiss me in front of everyone.

" You look...wow. I don't even know what to say. You look beautiful. I mean- you always look beautiful. But-," Peter starts to ramble.

I gently grab his hand and let out a giggle. Which makes him relax more and sigh in relief.

" Thank you...you look very handsome yourself," I tell him.

I let go of his hand before anyone sees and he looks around.

" Hey witchy, who's this," I hear the voice of Sam ask as he walks up to us.

Peter and I act normal instead of acting like we know each other and are dating.

" Um...I'm pretty sure this is the intern Tony is hiring," I say.

" Oh right, what's your name again," Sam questions with a sly smirk.

I glare playfully at Sam and elbow him.

" Peter Parker...sir," My boyfriend says nervously.

" Don't call me sir, please, that makes me sound old. I'm not that old, just call me Sam," Sam whines.

Peter relaxes a little and lets out a laugh.

" Sorry...Sam," he says.

" Have you met Stark yet? I just saw him getting a drink," Sam states.

" Uh no, should I try to find him," Peter asks frantically, starting to get nervous again.

" Wanda here will introduce you to him. See you later Wendy," My best friend says before walking away.

Once he is out of sight I look at the boy in front of me. He is already looking at me, a small smile tugging on his lips. I smile and motion for him to follow me. I want to hurry and introduce him to Tony and maybe some others so then we can do our own thing. We're walking through the crowds and Peter still has a smile on his face.

" What are you so smiley for," I giggle while glancing at him.

" Because I'm here with you, my girlfriend. And you look gorgeous. And I'm about to meet Tony Stark," He tells me.

I grin and feel my cheeks burn. He always makes me flustered when he says things like this. Eventually, I see Tony and Pepper talking to each other by the counter. We walk over to them and their eyes land on us. I tightly hug Pepper and she grins.

" Hi honey, you look beautiful! Who's this," Pepper exclaims.

I look back at Peter and he waves nervously. Tony walks over to me and places a quick peck on my hair. Something he does now and then in a very fatherly way.

" This is Peter Parker, the guy Nat wanted you to hire for an intern," I tell Pepper and Tony.

" Oh right, hey kid. You already know my name or else I'd introduce myself," Tony says with a chuckle.

He shakes Peter's hand and my boyfriend quickly glances over at me.

" Nice to meet you, Mr. Stark," Peter speaks with a smile.

" It's nice to meet you too. So what school do you go to," Tony asks Peter.

I can see Peter's body relaxing as he realizes Tony is trying to make conversation to get to know him.

" I got to Midtown High, it's like this really good science school in Queens," my boyfriend replies.

I watch as the two make conversation when suddenly I feel a hand on my shoulder. I turn around quickly and see Shuri standing there. She's wearing a nice white dress. It's short and goes down to her mid-thigh. And it is strapless at the top, but then it has a separate piece at the top that creates long sleeves that flare out at the end. And the same fabric has a turtle neck-like collar at the top. Her dark brown braided hair is in a low bun. I haven't seen Shuri in months.

" Hey, Wands! How are you? You look amazing," She grins.

I gasp and hug her tightly, " Shuri!! I missed you. I'm good, great. And thank you, you look beautiful also!"

Tony and Peter are still talking to each other so I let Shuri pull me away from them. She leads me to the corner of the room, still able to see everyone but no one is over by us.

" So what's been going on girl," She asks.

" Well, everything has been pretty normal, well as normal as it can be for being an Avenger," I giggle.

She looks away from me for a second then turns back. Now she has a smirk on her face, the look she has when she is about to tease me about something. I furrow my eyebrows and tilt my head in confusion.

" Looks like someone is staring at you," She whispers.

She motions her head in a direction and I look over there. Peter is still talking to Tony, but his eyes are on me. A look I've never seen before as he stares at me. He notices that I'm looking back at him and he smiles and manages to wink at me without Tony noticing. I blush and feel butterflies in my stomach, he was already looking at me.

" Is there something going on between you and the new guy," She teases.

I freeze and open my mouth, about to come up with a lie. But I want to tell Shuri, it won't hurt to tell her. She won't tell anyone.

" We've been dating for a month," I blurt out.

Her eyes widen and so does her smile. She squeals and hugs me tightly.

" I'm so happy for you! Does anyone else know," She questions?

I shake my head and look around to make sure no one is listening.

" Only you and Natasha. Please don't tell anyone. Peter and I want to wait a little longer to tell more people," I beg my friend.

She laughs and rolls her eyes. When I first met Shuri it was two days after the whole Ultron thing. I wasn't talking at all, to anyone except Clint. Even then I would barely even talk to him, just a single answer to a question or something small. We got to Wakanda so they could make sure I didn't have any major injuries. Shuri was there and she introduced herself. I ignored her and just stayed silent. But she kept pushing. Told me she thought she lost her brother one time, he died but he was able to come back. And that's when I started to talk to her. It was small sentences, but we became friends. And now I trust her a lot, she was the first person I actually trusted after my brother died.

" I won't tell anyone Wands, you know I won't," She says.

I feel a hand on my wrist and I turn around quickly. But my eyes are met with beautiful brown ones, it's Peter.

" Hi," I whisper softly, not breaking eye contact.

He sucks in a breath and I see his eyes roam over my body.

" Hi...are you busy," Peter asks me while glancing at Shuri behind me.

I look at her and she gives me a look telling me I can go with him. She wiggles her eyebrows in a teasing manner and I giggle before looking back at my boyfriend. I shake my head and we start walking towards the elevator. After the elevator closes I feel Peter's hand engulf mine. I smile and look down at our hands together. The elevator opens and we walk onto the roof, one of our many spots. We walk hand-in-hand to the middle of the roof. And we can still hear the music from the party very clearly up here.

" Tony thinks you're giving me a tour of the tower. You're gonna get tired of me eventually," He jokes.

I roll my eyes playfully and straighten his tie.

" I don't think I will ever get tired of you. But does that mean you got the job," I ask with a smirk.

He nods and I stand on my toes to kiss him softly. His hands setting on my waist gently.

" Mmh...Wands. We should dance," Peter suggests against my lips.

I pull away slowly and beam up at him. He moves one hand more comfortably on my waist and the other takes one of my hands. My other arm rests around his neck. We start slowly dancing to the song playing downstairs.

’Settle down with me
Cover me up
Cuddle me in
Lie down with me, yeah
And hold me in your arms’

I lean closer to my boyfriend and we sway slowly. His thumb softly caresses a spot on the hand he is holding. We seem to just be in sync as we dance. I've never danced with anyone before, except for with Tony playfully.

’And your heart's against my chest
Your lips pressed to my neck
I'm falling for your eyes
But they don't know me yet
And with a feeling I'll forget
I'm in love now’

Peter pulls away slightly, but we are still dancing. Just looking into each other's eyes now.

" I love your eyes. They're so beautiful. You're so beautiful. I don't know how I got so lucky," My brunette boy in front of me mumbles.

I smile and stare at him dumbfounded, " You're lucky? I'm dating THE Spiderman. Peter Parker."

We both let out a laugh and I lean my head against his chest.

’Kiss me like you wanna be loved
You wanna be loved
You wanna be loved
This feels like falling in love
Falling in love
Falling in love’

" I love you, Wanda," I hear Peter say after a minute of silence other than the music playing.

I freeze and quickly pull away to look at him. He is avoiding eye contact with me and he is no longer smiling.

" You do," I ask with my voice cracking a little.

" I'm sorry...It just came out," Peter mutters.

His hand slips out of mine and both of his arms go to his sides.

" Peter...you love me," I question with a large smile.

Finally, he looks at me and I see a hesitant look in his eyes.

" Yeah, I do... I really do," He whispers.

" I love you too, Peter. I love you," I say before smashing my lips against his.

This kiss isn't like the other ones we've had. The others were soft but passionate. Some were even just passionate. But this, this is filled with passion and something else. Hunger. Peter puts his hands on my hips and pulls me closer to him. My hands cup his cheeks and lean him down just a little.

’Yeah, I've been feeling everything
From hate to love
From love to lust
From lust to truth
I guess that's how I know you
So I hold you close to help you give it up’

I pull away from his lips and he starts placing kisses on my jaw.

" Peter...do you want to go to my room," I say breathlessly.

" Mhm...do that invisible thing with your powers. I'll swing us down there," He tells me.

I flick my wrist and the next I know we are on my balcony outside of my window. I open the door and he continues kissing me as we stumble inside. I close the window with my powers then wrap my arms around his neck again. I whimper into the kiss and start unbuttoning his blazer. He pushes it off his shoulders and it falls to the ground. Peter sits on the bed and I sit on his lap. I tug off his tie as he kisses spots on my neck and jaw. I feel his warm hands at the top of my back where my skin isn't covered by the dress.

" Wanda...Can I unzip your dress," Peter asks politely.

I nod eagerly and he immediately starts slowly unzipping my dress. He unzips it as far as he can while I'm sitting down, the top part of the dress falls down my body down to my thighs. Peter pulls away and looks at me. The dress revealed my breasts since I wasn't wearing a bra under the dress.

" You're gorgeous," Peter smiles before kissing my lips again.

I kiss him back and unbutton his white dress shirt. Once that's fully unbuttoned I slide it off of him, letting my hands run over his skin in the process. I knew Peter had abs, he's not extremely muscular, but he does have some muscles due to being Spiderman. He's just the perfect amount of muscular. I run my hands down his chest and finally rest them on his shoulders again. I stand up and slide the rest of my dress off my body, letting it pool at my feet. Peter looks at me with hunger in his eyes, the only clothing left on me is my white lace panties. Peter stands up also and unbuttons his black pants. He slides them down and steps out of them. Now only in his green and blue boxers. I can see his erection through his boxers and it makes me even more turned on. I step closer to my boyfriend and kiss him again. I lay down on my bed and he gently hovers over me, his hands sliding up and down my waist to my thighs. I whimper and arch my back a little, needing more of his touch.

" Wands...are you sure you want to do this," Peter says against my lips.

" Yes, yes I'm sure. Are you sure? We don't have to if you're not ready," I ask while looking into his eyes.

His eyes are looking at me with only love and lust.

" I need you, I'm sure," He replies before kissing me softly, this time with tongue.

I moan quietly and pull him closer. I lock the door to my room with my powers to make sure no one comes in. It's both of our first times, so we are both nervous. But I'm also ready, and I know he is too. I pull away from his lips and he pulls back to make sure I didn't change my mind.

" FRIDAY...turn on the soundproof system for this room," I speak out loud, not letting go of the eye contact Peter and I have.

"Soundproof system on," The computer system replies.

Peter smirks and moves to take off his boxers. I slide off my underwear also while he does the same with his. I look down at his erection and bite my lip. He's big, I feel my stomach clench with butterflies and he places gentle kisses on random spots on my skin. I watch as he lines his length up with my entrance. He looks at me for permission and I nod frantically. He pushes through my folds and I feel him fill me up. I wince at the slight burn I feel from that. He scoots up so he can kiss me again, which he does. He stays still, not wanting to hurt me. I squeeze my eyes shut and let out a breath.

" Okay...okay you can move," I sigh.

Peter slowly pulls out almost all the way, but then he stops and goes back in. After a few times of doing that, pleasure overpowers any pain that was there before.

" Peter- please. Faster," I whine.

He starts thrusting in and out of me, and I can't contain my moans. Thank god for the soundproof system. I clench my fists around the sheet of my bed, arching my back as he thrusts his hips. Peter is letting out moans and groans every now and then also. Peter's grip on my hips tightens and I whimper.

" Oh sh- Wanda, this feels...so good," My boyfriend groans against the skin of my neck.

" Please- oh god. Peter don't stop," I moan as I wrap my legs around his waist.

" I don't plan on it baby," Peter grunts.

He starts thrusting even quicker than before. The only sound in the room is the sound of skin slapping and our moans.

" I'm close, I'm so close," I cry out.

Peter puts his hands on my lower back as I arch it. Pull me closer to his lower area.

" Me too, where do you want me Wands," he whimpers.

" Inside. Please I need all of you," I beg.

Peter groans in pleasure and buries his face into my neck as he continues to thrust into me. I wrap my arms around his neck and pull him closer to me. After a few more thrusts I release, clenching around Peter's member. Which causes him to climax inside of me. After we both ride off our high he pulls out and collapses next to me. We both breathe heavily and I look over at him. I scoot over and lay my head on his chest, taking one of his hands and tracing it with my fingers.

" I love you so much," I giggle.

Peter laughs also and kisses my hair, " I love you more."

I pause and my cheeks flush. Not only did we just have sex for the first time, but he also called me baby. I am just now realizing that he called me that.

" You called me baby," I state.

Peter strokes my hair and sighs.

" I was hoping you wouldn't notice. It kind of just slipped out, I'm sorry," He chuckles.

I look up at him and giggle before placing a single soft kiss on his cheek.

" Don't apologize. I liked it. You should call me it more often," I smile.

He grins and twists a strand of my hair between his finger. " Okay...baby," Peter teases.

Chapter Text

It's been two weeks since the party. Peter and I have been spending more time together, seeing each other's other at least once a day. He knows that Natasha and Shuri know, and he said his best friend Ned also found out. But other than that no one else knows. I am climbing up the ladder to the roof of a building. Once I get to the top I see my boyfriend laying on a blanket with his eyes closed, a basket right next to him. I smile and walk over to him, sitting next to him. I'm wearing just one of my normal black dresses. And he's wearing a cute science pun t-shirt, a light blue and white flannel, and blue jeans. I love his outfits. I kiss his cheek and lay down to look at the sky also.

" Hi Wands," my boyfriend speaks.

I look up at him and cuddle closer to him, mumbling a soft hi. His hands move to my hair and his fingers run through it.

" You're comfy," I giggle against his clothed chest.

" So are you," He says shyly before pressing a kiss to the corner of my lips.

I hum and we look up at the sky until suddenly the sound of glass shattering and screaming is heard. We sit up quickly and he changes into his Spiderman suit. Peter only had to take off his top lair of clothes since he has his suit on under it.

" Come with me," he asks while holding out his hand.

I take it and he pulls me into his arms. He shoots a web and we start swinging towards the sounds. Eventually, we see a big apartment building on fire, people are around watching and screaming.

" I'm gonna go inside and get people out, can you catch them," Peter asks me frantically.

I nod and squeeze his hand, " Be careful."

He swings through a window and people start falling from the windows. I catch them all with my magic. People are cheering now instead of screaming. A woman with straight blonde hair starts falling from a window, I catch her with my magic and land her on her feet gently on the ground. She rushes over to me and puts her hands on my shoulders.

" Miss, you have to save my daughter. She's still in there! She's 6 and has blonde hair, her name is Mia. Please help her," the woman cries out.

" Spiderman will get her," I assure the woman.

I look up at the building and another person is falling. I catch him and walk over to him.

" Where is Spiderman," I ask the man.

" He went to help the last person in the building, it was a little girl," The guy says frantically before running to a teenage girl, probably his daughter.

Parts of the apartment building start to fall apart. Everyone starts gasping and a little girl starts falling from a window. I quickly catch her with my powers and make her fall slower so it doesn't scare her. She lands in the arms of her mother and they start hugging. But I'm still looking at the building, waiting for Peter to come out. But he doesn't. What is he doing?! Suddenly the middle of the building starts collapsing in, Peter still inside.

" NO," I scream as I fall to my knees.

I feel tears streaming down my cheeks as I let out sobs and screams. He can't be gone, our story has barely started. Not him too. I squeeze my eyes shut and clutch my shirt against my chest. But then suddenly I feel a gust of wind and my knees are no longer on the ground. I feel arms around me also. My eyes shoot open and I see the familiar Spiderman suit. Tears are still falling from my eyes but I wrap my arms around his neck and sob into his shoulder.

We land on a roof and even though he is standing he doesn't put me down. He just keeps his arms around me as I cry against him.

" Hey, hey, it's okay. It's okay," Peter says softly while stroking my hair.

" Do the invisible thing, Wands," He tells me.

I make us invisible but stay exactly where I am, I nod in his shoulder to let him know no one can see us. He cups my cheek and pulls my face away from his neck. He takes off his mask and he looks fine. Nothing but a scratch on his eyebrow. He wipes away my tears and shakes his head.

" I thought you were still inside. I thought you were dead…you can’t die. Ever. You scared me," I sigh shakily.

" I know, I'm so sorry. I swung out of the back window at the last minute. I'm okay though, I promise," Peter assures me before hugging me tightly.

I kiss his lips passionately and he smiles into the kiss. I know he loves kissing me, that's almost always the first thing he does whenever he sees me. And I love it. I love him. I was so scared that I had lost him. But I didn't, he's okay.

" I love you so much," Peter says after he pulls away from my lips.

" I love you more, and happy birthday Spidey," I giggle.

He smiles widely and I lean my head on his shoulder. I want to do something for him today. We've been dating for almost 2 months, but it feels like I've known him forever. Maybe we could go eat somewhere.

" Do you want to go eat somewhere? It can be one of my gifts to you," I suggest with a small smile.

Peter looks at me and his eyes widen. " Wha- Wands you don't have to do anything for me. You just being here is enough for me," he exclaims.

I pull away from him and smash my lips against his. He stops talking and immediately his hands move to my hair. He pulls me closer to him and I can feel the kiss getting more heated. So I pull away, out of breath a little. Peter looks down at me with half-lidded eyes.

" We'll continue this later. But I want to take you to eat somewhere! I know this good pasta restaurant that you would like," I suggest.

Peter finally gives in and blushes, " Okay. Let's go then."

He starts walking but I clear my throat, looking at him knowingly. He furrows his eyebrows and looks down before realizing he's still in his suit. He grabs his clothes and slips them over his suit then we leave.

————————————————————

Peter and I just got back to the Avengers Tower. He swung us over here and now we're on my balcony to my bedroom. I feel his eyes on me as I look out at the sunset. Finally, I look over at him and he has a look in his eyes. A look that makes me feel butterflies. I smile and let a piece of my hair fall from its spot in a ponytail.

" What," I giggle as my cheeks flush red.

" Nothing. I just really love you. Thank you for today. It was amazing," Peter tells me.

I smile widely and lean my head on his shoulder.

" I really love you too. And of course, you deserve it," I speak.

Next, I know Peter's hands are on my waist and my hands are cupping his cheek. He shoots a web at the window and opens it quickly. We stumble inside, making out hungrily. We're in the middle of the room when we hear someone clear their throat. I pull away and gasp. Sam is laying upside down on my bed looking at us with a smirk.

" Sam...what are you doing in my room," I exclaim, trying to hide my embarrassment.

" I was waiting for you witchy. I didn't know Peter would be with you. But I'm glad he is. We all need to talk," My friend replies.

I look at Peter and he looks nervous. I know he was extremely nervous to even meet everyone. Now Sam knows we're dating.

" All as in...," I ask hesitantly.

" Everyone knows Wendy. Don't worry no ones mad though," Sam chuckles.

He stands up and motions for us to follow him. I glance at my boyfriend and he nervously looks at me. I shake my head and put my hand out for him to take it. He does and we start following Sam. Eventually, we get to the living room. Tony and Pepper are sitting on the couch. Pepper is reading a book and Tony is on his phone. Natasha is in the kitchen making something and Steve is sitting at the counter.

" Oh hey Wanda, Peter," Cap says, making everyone look toward us.

" Hi," I smile softly before looking down at mine and my boyfriend's hands intertwined.

" So...how long has this been going on for," Tony speaks in a sort of protective way.

I see Pepper elbow him in his arm and he pouts at her. She looks at me and rolls her eyes at her fiancé playfully.

" We've been together for about two months," I answer with a small chuckle.

" Sorry, we didn't tell anyone. I was nervous," Peter states while clearing his throat.

" You don't have to be nervous Parker. But why didn't you two tell us he was Spiderman? He could be an Avenger," Tony chuckles.

Peter's eyes widen and he now has a big grin on his face.

" Really?! An Avenger?! You want me to be an Avenger," Peter says excitedly.

I giggle and glance from him to Tony. Who now has a smile on his face too.

" Well yeah. You're Spiderman! You can be an Avenger. Hell, we even have a room you can stay in here," Tony says while standing up.

" Wow, that's so cool! I'd love to be an Avenger! But I live with my aunt. I can't stay here," my boyfriend says.

" You don't have to live here to be an Avenger. You can keep living with your aunt. We can just keep a room for you just in case," Steve says from his spot in the kitchen.

" Okay," Peter exclaims happily.

" You've been oddly quiet Romanoff," Sam laughs.

Nat turns around and she already has a smirk on her face.

" Cause I already knew. I knew like 2 weeks into them dating. I was sworn to secrecy," She teases. " Oh and happy birthday Peter," She winks at my boyfriend.

I laugh and look over at the boy next to me. Who is obviously ecstatic about being an Avenger.

Chapter Text

Having a boyfriend is different. It's been two months since Peter joined the Avengers. 4 months since we started dating. I've enjoyed every moment of it. Peter has spent the night a few times, but not in his room. He comes to the tower often after school. He's gotten close with the other Avengers. They love him. I've met his best friends Ned and MJ. They're very nice. I only haven't met his aunt May yet because she works a lot. But she knows about me, in fact, today I will be meeting her. And I'm terrified. Peter said I shouldn't be scared, that she's gonna love me. I believe him, I trust him. But what if she sees me as a monster like other people? What if she wants Peter to break up with me? Right now Peter and I are walking up the stairs of his apartment building. I look at him and he must feel my eyes on him because he turns to me also.

" Wands I can practically feel your nervousness flowing off of you. It's gonna be okay, I promise you. She's going to love you, probably not as much as I do though," Peter smiles.

I try to fake a smile but it obviously doesn't fool my boyfriend. We stop at the top of the stairs and he takes my hands.

" If you're not ready you don't have to meet her Wands. I can just keep telling her everything about you," Peter says, trying to lighten my mood.

" No, no I'm ready. It's just... I don't know," I sigh while looking down.

Peter tilts my chin up so our eyes meet again and I feel my shoulders relax a little.

" I'm scared she'll see me as a weapon or as a danger like other people do. And I just really want her to like me because I love you and I don't want her to make you break up with me or something," I ramble.

Peter's eyebrows furrow and he puts his hands on my shoulders.

" Okay I don't know who thinks of you like that but they're wrong. You're not dangerous and you're not a weapon. And May knows that. I promise you she's going to like you. And if she doesn't then she won't get to know you like I do. She can't make me break up with you or cut me off from you. I'm way too in love with you at this point," he chuckles.

I laugh a little and nod my head. He's right, he usually is.

" Okay... let's go," I smile before we start walking again.

We get to his apartment and Peter unlocks the door. We walk in and I look around. It's a lot bigger than my childhood apartment was. It's very nice and homey.

" May," Peter calls out while walking toward the middle of the living room.

" Oh, you came just in time Peter. Dinners almost done," I hear a woman's voice speak from the kitchen.

Footsteps are heard then she's standing in front of us. She has straight dark brown hair that goes down to her back. She's wearing glasses, a T-shirt, and jean shorts. She definitely does not look like she's 40.

" You're Wanda! I've heard so much about you. My Nephew never shuts up about you," May grins before shaking my hand.

I laugh a little and glance over at my boyfriend.

" Yes that's me, it's nice to finally meet you, Ms. Parker," I say softly.

" Oh, you don't have to call me that, just call me May. And it's nice to meet you too Wanda. Peter was right you are very pretty," She tells me.

I feel all of my worries go away at that moment. She seems very nice, I no longer feel like she's going to hate me.

" Thank you," I blush while looking at Peter again.

His cheeks are flushed red more than mine and he's laughing nervously.

" Well I hope you like meatloaf, it should be done now," May says before leading us into the kitchen.

I sit at the circle table next to Peter and we all three start eating. Making conversation as we do so.

————————————————————————

" So...how did you like the dinner," Peter asks as we get to my room.

I close the door behind us and giggle. I push myself into Peter's arms and wrap my arms around his neck. Hugging him tightly.

" It was nice, thank you for introducing me to your aunt. I think she liked me," I smile.

Peter grins down at me and kisses me softly.

" I told you she was gonna like you," He mutters against my lips.

We both laugh and we plop down on my bed. I stare at my boyfriend and lean my head on his chest.

" Can you stay the night," I hum against his neck.

He sighs and runs his fingers through my hair. I feel him place a few kisses on my forehead and hair.

" I wish I could, I have school tomorrow baby. I'll come over when I get out though," Peter assures me.

I nod and smile, glancing at the calendar on the wall behind me. I see the date but then freeze, my shock luckily going unnoticed by Peter.

February 10th

Tomorrow is February 10th. I knew it was coming up soon, I was trying to soak up the days before then. But it's tomorrow. My birthday, but not just my birthday. It would have been Pietro's birthday. No, let me just spend these last few moments with Peter before he leaves. I truly don't know how I'll feel tomorrow. I've been pushing my thoughts down, keeping them buried.

" Peter, I love you so much," I whisper shakily.

" I love you so much too Wands," my boyfriend grins before sitting up.

" Alright, I really have to go home now. But I'll see you tomorrow. I'll text you in the morning," He says.

I lean up and passionately kiss his lips, not knowing when I'll feel them again with these next few days coming. He kisses me back and puts his hands on my waist. After a few moments of kissing, he slowly pulls away.

" What was that for," He says breathlessly.

" Nothing...I just love you," I whisper before placing a soft kiss on his cheek.

He leaves and I sit down on my bed, getting out my phone in the process. I open the calendar and stare at tomorrow's date. When I first got to the Avengers Tower I truly didn't believe I was going to make it. I thought I was going to die. I wanted to die. I didn't think I could live without my brother. My other half died on February 11th. The day after our birthday. And now I have to live our birthday without him. There's only one Avenger that knows my birthday. And that's Clint. The day I told him when my birthday was, he promised he would be here for it. That he would be here to comfort me. But I'm not sure if he will. Maybe I should call him, just in case he forgot. I dial his number and bring the phone up to my ear. It rings, and rings, and rings. But then it goes to voicemail. He didn't answer. He's not asleep, there's no way he's asleep. It's only 7 pm in Missouri.

———————————————————————

PETER
***************

I just got to school, my first class is Chemistry and I have the class with Ned. He's sitting next to me as I type my normal morning message to my girlfriend.

' Good morning Wands, I love you, and text me when you wake up'

I smile and put my phone down, looking towards the front of the class now. But still thinking about Wanda. I've never loved someone this much, she's all I can think about sometimes. Her soft brown hair, her freckles, her lips, her eyes, her voice, her smile, her laugh, her body, everything about her.

TONY
*************

I'm sitting in the kitchen on the Avengers floor drinking a cup of coffee. I don't have any press meetings or anything to do today. So I'm just hanging out. Pepper is in Virginia visiting her sister.

" Stark, have you seen or talked to Wanda this morning? She's not answering my texts and I've knocked on her door a few times but she hasn't answered," I hear Romanoff speak as she walks into the room.

I look up from my phone and furrow my eyebrows.

" Is she with Peter," I ask the redhead in front of me.

Natasha shakes her head, " No it's Tuesday, he has school remember."

I stand up and hum," Come on I'm sure she's in her room or something."

We walk to Wanda's room and I knock on the door. There's no answer. I knock again, letting her know it's me. Still no answer. I finally slowly open the door and when I do I see the girl I see as my daughter just laying in her bed. Her covers are wrapped around her, her back is facing the door and all we can see is her messy brown hair. I would think she was sleeping if her body wasn't shaking every few seconds.

" Marco," I say hesitantly as I walk toward the other side of her bed so I can see her face.

There's no response again. We have this thing where when one of us is looking for the other we say Marco and the other says Polo. I finally. get to where I can see her face and her eyes are opened. She's awake. But tears are streaming down her cheeks and her eyes are red-rimmed. I sit on the edge of her bed and she just closes her eyes.

" Hey...kid what's going on? What's wrong," I ask softly.

Once again she doesn't reply. I look up at Natasha, she's standing behind me now so she can see Wanda also. She has a frown on her face and she quickly gets out her phone.

" What are you doing," I ask while standing up.

We leave the room and walk into the hallway. Romanoff is dialing a number on her phone and puts it on speakerphone. Then someone answers, it's Clint Barton.

" Hey Nat what's up," the man on the other end asks.

" Clint something is wrong with Wanda. We don't know what's going on but she won't talk to us. She hasn't left her room all morning. She's just laying in bed crying," Romanoff tells Barton.

There's a silence on the other side of the phone and I scoff. " Barton if you know what's wrong with my kid you better tell me right now," I whisper-yell.

" What date is it," Barton asks us.

" February 10th, why," Romanoff replies confusion laced in her voice.

" Shit, shit, shit. I'm coming up there. I'm about to leave soon," Clint states.

There's rustling on the other side of the phone and people are talking in the background.

" Clint what's going on," Natasha exclaims to the phone.

" It's February 10th. Wanda's birthday. Meaning it was also Pietro's birthday. And tomorrow is the day he died last year," Barton sighs.

I freeze and look into the bedroom again. Wanda is still laying on the bed. I hear Clint and Nat still talking but I just walk back into the room. I sit next to the kid and stroke her hair softly.

" It's okay honey, it's gonna be okay. I'm here," I tell her.

PETER
***************

I'm starting to feel worried. It's 2 pm and I get out of school at 3:30. Wanda still hasn't answered me. She always answers me. Even if she's about to go train or something, she answers. I even called her at my lunch and she didn't answer. Maybe I need to call Mr. Stark. I raise my hand and ask to use the bathroom, the teacher says yes so I rush out. Once I get into the bathrooms I make sure no one is in here and I pull out my phone. I dial Tony's number and call him.

" Hey Parker, aren't you supposed to be at school," He speaks when he picks up.

“ Yeah, I am at school. I was just seeing if Wanda’s okay. I’ve been texting and calling her all day but she isn’t answering,” I say hesitantly.

There is a loud silence on the other end, and I feel my senses tingle. Letting me know something is off. It’s not a big tingle, so she’s not hurt, but something is wrong.

“ Mr. Stark,” I say slowly, I hear him clear his throat.

“ She’s not gonna answer, just come here after you get out of school, alright,” Stark tells me.

I shake my head even though he can’t see it.

“ Wait no, tell me what’s wrong! Is she okay? Do I need to come now, because I-I’ll come now,” I say frantically.

“ No. Stay at school kid, wait until you get out. She’ll be okay,” Tony sighs before hanging up.

I move the phone away from my ear and look down. By the time the bell rings, I am running out of the school and behind a building. I change into my Spiderman suit and swing towards the Avengers Tower. The second I get there I go into the elevator and go to the floor Wanda is on. While I’m in the elevator I put my other clothes back on. I rush to Wanda’s room and I see Mr. Stark already sitting on her bed and Natasha is sitting on the chair in the corner of the room. Both of them turn to look at me and I furrow my eyebrows. Wanda is laying in her bed, wrapped in her covers. She has tear-stained cheeks, she’s facing me but it doesn’t look like she actually sees me. I walk over to her bed and kneel in front of her.

“ Wands? What’s wrong baby,” I whisper while softly touching her hair.

Her eyes meet mine and I see her lip quiver, I cup her cheek in an attempt to comfort her a little.

“ Peter, we need to talk in the hall,” Stark speaks as he stands up.

I look up at him and follow him out of the room. But I keep my eyes set on Wanda the whole time.

“ What’s wrong with her Mr Stark? What happened,” I ask him frantically.

He sighs and pinches the bridge of his nose. “ Today’s her birthday kid, she shared her birthday with her twin brother then he died last year. And tomorrow marks one year of his death. She’s devastated,” He tells me.

My heart stops and I glance back at my girlfriend. She’s been like this all day, I didn’t know. I walk back over to her and sit next to her on the bed. She looks up at me and bites her lip to stop her from crying.

“ I’m here Wanda,” I tell her gently while cupping her cheek again.

She lets out a sob and pushes herself into my chest. I wrap my arms around her and look up at the other three Avengers in the room. Sam, Mr. Stark, and Natasha. They’re all staring at us with frowns on their faces.

“ Wanda,” A voice speaks out of nowhere.

We all turn around toward the door and Hawkeye is standing there. He’s wearing a white T-shirt, a flannel, and blue jeans. Something I’ve never seen him in considering I’ve only seen him on the news as Hawkeye. He’s looking at Wanda but she keeps her head against my chest.

“ She’s not gonna talk to you Barton, she only just sat up to hug Parker,” Sam informs Clint.

Mr. Barton looks at me and sits down next to us, more specifically Wanda.

“ Hey kid, c’mere. I’m sorry I forgot,” He says softly.

I look down at my girlfriend and she just stays put. But she mumbles something, loud enough for everyone in the room to hear.

“ Please go,” she says shakily, and everyone knew she means everyone. She wants everyone to go.

Mr. Barton sighs and nods before standing up again. All of the Avengers move to leave so I do also. She moves away from me and slowly gets back to her spot in bed. I stand up and look down at her before pressing a soft kiss to her temple.

“ I love you, Wands. If you need me just let me know okay? I’ll be back to check on you,” I tell her.

She grabs my wrist as I’m about to walk away, so I turn to her.

“ Stay,” She mutters, her eyes giving me a pleading look. Begging for me to stay.

I nod and move to lie in bed next to her, letting her scoot close to me.

Chapter Text

It is February 12th and I feel better. Of course, it still hurts to think about, but it's not as overpowering as the days before. I think maybe it hurt so much more those two days because it was our birthday and the day he died. I've just gotten out of the shower and I'm drying my hair as I look into the mirror. These past two days have been so hard, I couldn't get out of my bed except to use the bathroom. I felt like I was drowning, similar to when I first lost my brother. But this time there was always someone in my room. The first day when Peter came over he stayed with me all night. He kept his arms wrapped around me in a comforting way and it helped me sleep. But even after waking up, I didn't leave the bed. Peter had his Aunt call him out of school and stayed with me all day until he had to go home. But then immediately after he left Tony came in. He sat in the chair and watched a sitcom on my TV with me. He didn't try to have a deep conversation with me or anything, and I'm glad. Pepper came in also and watched it with us. She sat next to me and let me cuddle against her, even let me cry on her. Then when they left to go to sleep, Natasha and Sam came in and slept in there with me. Nat slept next to me in the bed and Sam slept in the chair. They left this morning before I woke up but now I'm up. Clint came in a few times and tried to talk to me but I refused to even look at him. I was (and still am) kind of mad that he forgot when my birthday was. He promised he would be here with me, as he was the last person Pietro saw. Pietro wanted Clint to take care of me, that's what I recall Clint telling me Pietro's eyes said. But he wasn't here until someone called. Hopefully, I can just go out there and pretend like nothing happened. Peter had to go to school today so I haven't seen him all day, but he should be here sometime soon. Once I'm done getting dressed I walk out of my room and down the halls. I hear talking in the living room and the sound of a show playing. Once I get out there I see Nat and Clint whispering in the kitchen. Sam and Steve are sitting on the couch watching a show on the TV. No one is really talking or goofing around like usual.

" Why is everyone so gloomy," I speak up, attracting everyone's attention in the room.

All eyes are on me and they all looked shocked. Sam stands up and smiles. Immediately he runs over to me and hugs me tightly like a child. He lifts me up with his arms around my entire upper body including my own arms, and he sways us a little.

" You're back! Shit Maxi, you had us all so worried. I was so bored without you," Sam exclaims.

I smile and hug him back when his grip around my arms loosen.

" Yeah...I'm sorry," I sigh but not necessarily sad. I just sort of feel bad.

" It's okay red, we get it. We're just glad you're okay," Nat speaks with a small smile.

Clint has a pretty big smile on his face too. I'm still a little hurt about him not being here. I know he has his own family to take care of, and they are really important to him. But I thought I was important to him also. He was the last person my brother was with before he died. And he hasn't answered me in at least two weeks. So all I do is flash a small smile at him and walk by him as I grab something out of the fridge to eat. I'm starving, I haven't eaten at all these past two days. As I'm eating some salad Natasha had made for me yesterday that I didn't eat, I hear the elevator ding. I check the time and see that it's 3:40. Meaning that's probably Peter. The elevator opens and it's Tony and Peter talking to each other. Peter has a sad look on his face. I know they're talking about me, and as they start walking in the direction of my room I clear my throat. Both guys stop talking and look my way. Peter's eyes widen and next I know I am jumping into his arms. I have my legs wrapped around his waist and my arms around his neck. My face is also buried in his neck.

" Wands? You- Are you okay," Peter asks me hesitantly.

" Yes, I just needed a few days. I'm okay now, I'm sorry," I say as I glance between my boyfriend and my father figure.

Peter tightens his grip around me and I feel him place a kiss on the side of my head. My heart flutters and a wide smile forms on my face.

" It's okay kiddo, I do have a meeting to get to. I just had to check on you. I'll see you later," Tony says as I get off of Peter.

He places a kiss on my hair and then ruffles it right after. Tony walks away and I look at Peter, who is already looking at me. He smiles and takes my hand softly.

" You wanna go to your room," He whispers into my ear.

I feel shivers run up my spine and my cheeks flush. I know exactly what he means. I nod frantically and he laughs softly.

" We're going to hang out in my room. I'll play mortal combat with you later Sam," I tell my best friend.

Sam nods and plops down next to Steve again. Peter and I walk to my room, somehow managing to not stop and suck each other's faces off. Once we get to my room immediately Peter's closes the door and gently pushes me against it. I whimper and Peter immediately smashes his lips against mine. I run my fingers through his hair as Peter slips his tongue into my mouth.

" I missed you, I thought you were mad at me about something when you weren't answering. Are you sure you're okay now? Cause if not we really don't have to," Peter tells me breathlessly.

I kiss him softly and place a few kisses on his neck. His hands stay placed on my waist and I sigh against his skin.

" I'm okay. I just needed time to really process it. But I want you," I assure him.

He smiles and kisses me passionately again, I push his flannel off of his shoulders and it lands on the ground. Peter puts his hands on my butt and lifts me up. I quickly wrap my legs around his waist and continue to kiss him. He walks us over to the bed and plops down on the bed with me on his lap. I moan into the kiss as his hands run through my hair. Peter pushes the bottom of my shirt up a little not enough to reveal my bra but close to it. I tilt my head back and pull our lips apart. I feel Peter press kisses to my neck and I push him closer to my skin. I grab the bottom of his white shirt and pull it up. He detaches his lips from my neck so I can fully take off his shirt. I toss it on the floor and trace my palms down his abs. He takes off my shirt also throwing it to the side. I have a plain white bra on that clips in the back. Peter starts placing soft but hungry kisses on my cleavage that spills out of my bra a little. I moan and roll my hips over his lap. He groans against my skin, but then I pull away.

" Do you have a condom? I didn't take the pill for two days so it's not stable yet," I breathe heavily.

Peter curses under his breath and shakes his head. I whimper and bury my face into his neck.

" Well...we don't have to go all the way...I-um..," Peter says while starting to get nervous.

I pull away and furrow my eyebrows. He gives me a look and I see his cheeks flushed from embarrassment.

" I've been looking at stuff...you know... to make you feel good. We-We could try that. If you want, we don't have to," Peter tells me.

I giggle and nod, knowing what he's trying to say. He smiles and flips us over.

———————————————————————

All of us Avengers are sitting in the living room watching a movie Sam picked out called Grown Ups. Peter said he has seen it, he likes it. I’ve never watched it. I’m sitting next to Peter on the big couch, my head is leaning on his shoulder and we’re holding hands under the blanket. Tony and Pepper are on the other side of the couch. Pepper is leaning against the arm of the couch with her feet on Tony’s lap. Sam is sitting on the floor with Steve next to him. Clint is sitting on the small three-person couch with Natasha. The redhead is also putting her feet on Clint’s lap. A few Avengers laugh at a part of the movie and I let out a small chuckle. I look up at Peter and he already is looking down at me. A look in his eyes I’ve seen many times before, love. I feel my cheeks flush and I peck his shoulder. I feel him kiss my hair and I sigh happily.

“ You seem different…brighter,” Peter whispers to me.

My eyes meet his brown ones and I smile again, a little pain behind my smile but I try not to show that part.

“ I’m just happy…here. With my family, friends, with you. This means everything to me. And I know how… suddenly something could change everything. So I choose to soak it in while I can. And even though I lost my brother, I do have the Avengers,” I explain.

He smiles and kisses my cheek, “ I’m proud of you, I know it’s hard. Believe me. I’m lucky I still have my Aunt May. But I love you, you’re like the bravest person I know.”

I giggle and shake my head while leaning closer to him.

“ Also I thought you were gonna say you’re happier because of what we did earlier,” Peter teases.

My cheeks heat up even more and I bury my face against his chest.

“ Shut up,” I groan with my voice muffled.

Peter laughs a little and strokes my hair.

“ I love you… don’t leave me. You can’t, ever. Okay? Promise,” I tell him.

His eyes study mine for a second until he nods. “ I won’t, I promise. I don’t think I can. I love you way too much,” He says.

Oh, how I wish he kept his promise...

Chapter Text

I look at myself in the mirror, tying up the last parts of my corset when I hear a knock at my bedroom door.

" Come in," I speak up without looking toward the door.

The door opens and Clint walks in, he has a look on his face. Maybe guilt. We still haven't talked and it's been over a week since he got here. He's leaving in two days to go back to his family.

" Hey kid," He says as he sits on my bed.

" Hi," I say dryly as I put on my red leather jacket.

I know it seems dramatic, me acting this way. But I'm just hurt. I had lost everything, and my brother died fighting alongside the Avengers. Clint was the one person I really talked to before I officially joined the team. During Ultron, when my brother was still alive, he was there for me. He was there for my brother. When I first came to the Avengers Tower, he was here for me. He was the only person I would talk to. About anything. We talked about my memories of my family, my brother, we talked about my past. We talked about HYDRA. He promised to be here when my birthday came around, so I wouldn't have to go through it alone. But he wasn't here. He didn't even remember. Someone had to call him for him to remember. But even before that, he stopped answering me as much, or at all. And it hurt, before I got close to Tony I saw Clint as my father figure. He protected me as my papa used to before he turned crazy.

" Can we talk? We really need to talk," Barton sighs.

I look out the window and the streets of New York. Nothing is wrong right now.

" I have to go meet Peter for patrol," I answer quickly.

" Please, Wands. It won't be long," he says with a frown.

I give in and sit next to him on my bed. We look over at each other and he clears his throat.

" Look I know you're mad-," he starts to say but I cut him off.

" I'm not mad. I'm upset," I tell him while looking down.

" And I understand. I would be too. I'm sorry. I really am," he says softly.

I shake my head and fiddle with my fingers. " You knew how much Pietro's death affected me. You were the only one that really knew. You were there. When he died, when I found out, when I got to the tower, and when I was sulking in my room you were there. You said you were always going to be here. You stopped answering me, Clint. You weren't here for my birthday. And you just stopped caring about me," I mumble.

" I know. Shit, believe me, I know. I know how much I fucked up. Things have been really busy and difficult at the farm. The kids are in school, Nathaniel is walking, Lucky was sick, and Laura was sick. A lot was going on, but that's no excuse. And I never stopped caring kid. I'll always care about you. I love you like my own. Don't forget that," He tells me.

I finally make eye contact with him and he has a sad smile on his face. That brings a small one to mine and I lean against him.

" I forgive you. It's okay," I sigh in relief.

" Are you sure? Cause I'd still be pissed at me," Clint jokes lightly.

I chuckle and sit up straight, " I forgive you. I promise."

" Thanks, Wands," He smiles as I stand up.

" I do have to go though. I'm going to be late," I state.

Clint stands up and brings me into a big hug, I hug him back before pulling away and we walk out of my
room. He closes the door behind him and I start walking towards the elevator.

" Be safe," He shouts as the elevator closes.

—————————————————————————

I walk down an alleyway to get to the building where Peter and I usually meet. I hear someone clear their throat and I turn around knowingly. Peter is hanging upside down with a web. He has his Spiderman suit and mask on.

" Well hi to you also Spidey," I smirk and walk over to him.

" Someone's a little late," He says teasingly.

" Yeah I'm sorry, Clint and I talked things out," I tell my boyfriend.

He hums and lowers the web a little so we are face to
face. I already know what he wants, I can feel it. I know he wants me to kiss him. And I will.

" I'm glad...but I'll only forgive you if you show me what flavored chapstick you're wearing today," He says in a flirty tone.

I giggle and curl my fingers under the cloth of his mask at the bottom.

" That was very slick," I say sarcastically and I pull up his mask right below his nose.

He's still upside down so he can't exactly move his hands. But I cup his cheeks and passionately kiss his lips. Peter hums contently and pushes his lips closer to mine. I giggle and trace my tongue over his bottom lip. He groans a little and I smile into the kiss. After a second I pull away and he licks his lips.

" Cherry," He asks with a smirk.

" Mmh, more like strawberry," I tease while tracing his jawline.

I pull down his mask to cover his face and he flips over and lands on his feet, so he is no longer upside down. I wrap my arms around his neck and he shoots a web up to the roof of the building. We land up there and sit on the edge of the roof, our feet dangling off of it.

" Peter," I speak softly as I look down at the streets.

He hums and I feel his eyes on me.

" Who am I dating," I ask when I turn to him.

" What do you mean," He questions, a light chuckle in his tone.

" Well I mean, no one knows who Spiderman is. But you're Peter Parker, and people do know who you are. What if they connect the dots and figure out your identity," I ask.

" Oh right...I guess I never really thought about it. We've been dating for almost 8 months now and no one has said anything, so maybe we can just wing it,"
Peter shrugs.

" That's true, but if I were asked by someone. Who should I say," I say.

" I guess Spiderman would make more sense, but then again...I'm definitely not going to take you on dates as Spiderman so Peter," He chuckles.

I laugh also and glance over at him, his hand is sitting on my thigh. His thumb is stroking a line over my leather pants. I feel butterflies in my chest and I lean into him.

" Peter," I whisper into his ear.

He shifts and clears his throat. Peter glances down at me and his hand gently squeezes my thigh. I whimper and he leans closer to me. He has his mask on so I can't kiss him, but his mouth is hovering near mine. I glance down and notice that he has an erection, it's pretty noticeable from under his spandex.

" Should we go," I say seductively.

Peter nods frantically and pulls me into his embrace before jumping off of the building. I scream at the sudden feeling of falling, but then I stop. I wrap my arms around Peter's waist, and I feel his bulge pressing against my inner thigh. I feel one of his hands on my butt and the other is wrapped around my waist. We land against a brick wall near a window, Peter is sticking to the wall. He opens the window right by us and I climb inside first, then my boyfriend leaps in right after me. It's Peter's bedroom. The door is closed already, and Peter just
closed the window. I wrap my arms around his neck and pull him to me again. I snatch off his mask and immediately connect our lips. He hums into the kiss and pushes off my jacket. I moan as his hands start to unlace my corset quickly. But he can't seem to get it. He groans against my lips and keeps trying. I pull away from his lips with a smile.

" Do you want me to get it," I giggle while looking into his eyes.

" No, no I got it. Just...give me a second. I need to see you," He grunts before turning me around so my back is facing him.

He starts trying to undo the corset again and eventually, he gets it and it immediately falls off of my body. Now that my breasts are exposed, Peter starts to gently massage and kiss them. I whimper and lean my head back on his shoulder. He's definitely been looking stuff up again because this feels so good. I moan and put my hands behind me on Peter's shoulders. He continues to massage and kiss my breasts. Every now and then he will lick around my nipple, which makes me want him more.

" Peter...oh," I whine while tilting my head back.

" Mmh, do you like this? Does it feel good Wands," He asks seductively.

" Yes, Peter it feels so good," I say breathlessly.

I finally turn around and pull away from him so he can take off his suit. He presses the button on the chest of his suit and it loosens, slipping off his shoulders. Peter shoves it off the rest of the way. I'm so glad Tony decided to make Peter a new suit. I cup Peter's cheeks and kiss him passionately. I feel his hands on the back of my clothed thighs, he squeezes my left thigh gently. I know that means
he wants me to jump, he wants to have me in his arms. I jump up and wrap my legs around his waist. He puts one hand on my butt and the other cupping my cheek. I hum as he walks us to the bed, he sits down with me on his lap and I place kisses on his neck. I run my hands down his bare chest and he shivers.

" Mmh you're hands are cold," He mumbles against my lips.

I giggle and feel warm hands move up and down my back. Due to our powers, Peter is usually warm and I'm usually cold. It's very funny but I like it. When I feel cold I can just feel Peter's hands on me and it warms me up. I stand up so I'm not on his lap anymore and I slide off my leather pants. Then I take off my lace red panties also. Peter slips off his boxers and throws them across the room. He lays down on the bed and I climb over to him. I sit on his lap once again, grinding a little to raise the mood more. My boyfriend groans and unconsciously thrusts his hips up. We've never done this position before, we just stuck to the same one before. The one we've done since our first time. Something about today makes both of us want to try something new. I lean down and kiss my boyfriend hungrily before leaning up again. I raise my hips up so Peter has room to move his length into my entrance. He puts the tip in and I slowly sink down on him. I gasp and tightly grip the sheets. Peter sits up and wraps his arms around my body.

" Hey, you okay," He asks softly.

Sitting here makes me feel full, it feels so amazing it's overwhelming.

" Yes, I-I just need a second," I whimper against his neck.

Peter nods and I shift a little, causing my walls to tighten around him. He groans and throws his head back. I start slowly moving my hips and I can tell Peter likes this. I moan as I start moving quicker, Peter starts thrusting his hips up along with me. I whine and rock my hips back and forth, starting to get a little overwhelmed with pleasure. It feels like my magic is burning my skin, but it doesn't hurt.

" Hey, hey we can go slower baby. Okay? Slower. You're so good Wands," Peter tells me gently as he slows my movements down.

His hands are placed on my hips as I ride him. Not as fast as before, but not necessarily slow either. The perfect speed. He sloppily kisses my lips and I do the same back to him. I feel my climax coming so I pull away to get air.

" Peter...I'm close," I moan as he continues to thrust his hips up.

" Me too Wands."

After a few seconds, I let go with a moan that was muffled by me covering my mouth. Peter releases right after me. After a moment of catching our breaths, I slowly slide off of his length and lay on the bed next to him. He slips under the covers and moves so I can get under there with him. I lay my head on his chest and he plays with my hair.

" I love you," I whisper sleepily.

" I love you too Wanda," He tells me in the same tired tone.

————————————————————

I feel my phone vibrating next to the pillow I'm sleeping on and my eyes shoot open. I grab my phone and see that Tony is calling me. I quickly answer the phone and sit up, covering my bare chest with the sheet. I glance over at Peter, he's still sleeping, his arm is draped over my lap from being wrapped around me before when I was sleeping.

" Hi Dad," I speak softly into the phone.

" Hey, kiddo. I was just wondering when you'll be home. I gotta talk to you about something," Tony replies on the other side of the phone.

I look at my boyfriend again and move some hair out of my face.

" Oh okay, I'll be home soon," I tell him.

" Alright, love you, Wands. Be careful,” he says.

“ Love you too,” I smile before hanging up.

I slowly move Peter’s arm off of my lap and I get out of the bed, letting the sheet fall off of my body. I grab my panties and slide them on. As I’m tying up my corset with my powers I hear Peter groan. He turns over so he is looking at me now. The blanket hides everything from the waist down on him. He pouts at me and I grin at him.

“ Hi, handsome. Did you sleep well,” I say while walking over to him.

He hums and closes his eyes, stretching with a yawn. “ I did until you left the bed, come here I wanna hold you,” He mutters.

I giggle and kiss his cheek before standing up to put on my jacket. My boyfriend sits up and runs his fingers through his hair.

“ I wish. Tony wants me home, he needs to talk to me. It sounded like it was important,” I tell him.

“ Are you walking or is someone picking you up,” He asks.

“ I was going to walk,” I reply while fixing my hair in the mirror.

“ I’ll swing you there, that’s kind of a far walk,” he suggests.

—————————————————————

I’m in the elevator going up to Tony and Pepper’s floor right now. I changed into one of Peter’s AC/DC shirts that he had left here and some gray shorts. I wonder what Tony wants to talk about, it seemed serious. The door opens and I walk onto the floor. Tony and Pepper are sitting on the couch some papers are beside them and they are watching TV.

“ Hi honey, how was patrol,” Pepper speaks as she sits up.

I smile and walk over to them, sitting on the couch next to Tony. “ It was fine, there weren’t any crimes tonight. So Peter and I just went to his house and..watch movies,” I tell her.

Watching movies is believable, right? I’d rather tell them we watched movies instead of had amazing sex and fell asleep. Tony nods and Pepper gives him a look. Not a bad look, I’m not sure what it was.

“ What did you need to talk to me about,” I ask hesitantly.

Tony clears his throat and looks at me. I glance at the papers on the other side of Pepper then look back at my parent figures. Pepper has a small smile on her face and Tony looks nervous. I have never seen him nervous before.

“ You see us as sort of your parents right Wanda? You call Tony dad often,” Pepper asks.

“ Yes of course. I see you both as my parents pretty much, I mean I know you’re not but it feels like it,” I reply shakily.

I feel bad sometimes if I think too deeply about all of this. About the fact that I love Pepper and Tony as my mom and dad. My mama is dead, my father is who knows where. Pepper and Tony are my parents, maybe not biologically, but they are my parents.

“ Well, Wands, Pep and I were thinking,” Tony trails off.

Pepper rolls her eyes and hands me a few of the papers. I furrow my eyebrows and look at it.

‘ Wanda Django Maximoff

Age- 17
Sex- F
Eye Color- Green
Hair Color- Brown
Race- Sokovian
Mother- Deceased
Father- Deceased

An orphan since 10 years old’

As I read more my eyes widen. They’re Adoption papers. For Tony and Pepper to adopt me. They want to adopt me? I look up at the couple in front of me and tears form in my eyes.

“ You want to adopt me,” I ask shakily.

“ If you want us to. Then yeah, we want to adopt you kid,” Tony smiles.

I grin and hug him tightly, my head is leaning against his chest and his arms are around me. Hugging me tightly.

“ Yes. I would like that,” I mumble against Pepper’s shoulder. She’s joined in on the hug now.

Chapter Text

After almost 10 months of being with Peter, I know I want to spend my life with him. I never thought about my future after the bombings happened. I was just too focused on trying to survive in the present. When we got forced into HYDRA I assumed we were going to die in there. And we didn't, but then my brother was murdered by Ultron. And after that, I didn't see a future for myself at all. I didn't want to. I wanted to see my brother again. To be with my parents. But as time went on I healed, and I got closer to the Avengers. And now I'm with Peter, and I've never been happier than I am now. It's an amazing feeling, to feel loved by everyone in your life. Of course, my past hurts sometimes, but my present is more important. Right now I'm training with Nat and Steve on the training floor. We're doing combat, so I'm not allowed to use my powers.

" Alright you ready Wands," Nat asks me with a smirk.

I nod and smile back at her, taking a deep breath to calm my powers. Steve starts coming towards me and I move to kick him but he grabs my leg. He twists me around and I land on the ground, but then I swipe my leg under his feet and he falls onto the ground. Nat comes over and throws a punch at my face, which does hit, but I shake it off and stand up. I kick her backward and punch her, which accidentally hits her nose.

" Oh shit! Nat, I'm sorry," I exclaim as I see blood starting to come from her nose.

" Come on keep going red," She shouts as she pushes me back.

I feel Steve kick my leg from behind and I fall onto one knee. As he is about to throw another punch at me I grab his arm and shove him into Natasha. They both stumble back but don't fall. I stand up quickly and they both run towards me. I use the wall and do a move Natasha previously taught me to Steve. I wrap my arms around his neck and twist my legs over his torso. Making him fall onto the ground, I do a cartwheel and kick Nat and she flips, landing in a pose. They both stand up and they are on both sides of me. They start rushing toward me, Nat getting ready to kick and Steve is going to punch. I smirk and once they get close enough I quickly lean into a backbend, making Steve punch Natasha and Natasha kick Steve. I stand up straight and catch them both by surprise by swiping my leg under Nat's feet, making her fall over. And with my other leg, I kick Steve in the shin and make him lose his balance. I finish off by putting my foot onto Natasha's stomach so she can't get up.

I'm breathing heavily and so are they. This is my first time beating them while training in combat.

" I definitely did not teach you that back bend move," Cap groans while standing up.

" Yeah me either, where did you learn that," Nat chuckles while getting up as well.

I shrug and wipe some sweat off of my forehead. " I taught it to myself. I mean I've kind of done back bends with my powers before but during combat was a first," I giggle.

" Well, that was great Maximoff. I'm proud of you," Nat says while wiping the blood from under her nose.

" Thank you. I'm sorry about that by the way Nat, I didn't mean to hit your face," I frown.

The redhead shakes her head and puts a rag up to her nose. " It's fine Wands, I promise. You did really good. Listened to everything we've taught you. You even did my thigh grip move," She teases while playfully shoving my shoulder.

" I know! It was amazing," I exclaim happily.

Suddenly the elevator opens and Tony walks out, his face is anything but happy. Sadness or pity is written all over his face.

" Wanda. We need to talk," Tony speaks.

My smile drops and I furrow my eyebrows. What's going on?

" What's wrong," I ask hesitantly.

" It's Peter. His Aunt May, she died," Tony states.

My heart drops and my eyes widen. What? May died? Oh my god...Peter. She was his only living family member left. I need to see him. He needs me.

" Tony, can you take me to Peter's? Please," I say shakily.

" Yeah come on," He sighs.

———————————————————————

I rush up the stairs to Peter's apartment and I knock on the door frantically. But there's no answer, I knock again, and still no answer. I try to doorknob and it's unlocked, so I walk inside. I close the door behind me and look around.

" Peter? Peter where are you," I call out.

I run into his room and he's sitting on his bed, looking down at a picture of him and May. I can tell he's crying, my heart aches for him.

" Oh Pete, I'm so sorry darling," I frown while sitting next to him.

I put my hand on his arm and he sniffles, wiping his tears from his cheeks. He stands up and puts the picture down.

" She's gone, a car accident. They said it was no one's fault. The traffic light malfunctioned, and she and the other car went at the same time. The other person survived but May didn't," He tells me.

I sigh with tears forming in my eyes, " I'm so sorry. It's terrible Peter..Can I hug you?"

My boyfriend shakes his head and I nod again in understanding. He turns to me and we finally make eye contact.

" I wish I could have helped her," He whimpers while running a hand through his hair.

" I know, but it's not your fault. You know that right," I assure him.

He nods and his eyes shift to the floor," Yeah I know. But it doesn't make me feel any better about this Wanda."

I bite my lip and step toward him.

" I know it doesn't. And you're going to feel like nothing will make you feel better, and you're probably right but-," I start to say but Peter interrupts me.

" Wanda I don't want to hear this. Can you just leave," he says.

I'm taken aback by what he says, but I'm not leaving. My boyfriend is hurting.

" Peter, I'm not leaving. You're hurting right now, you don't need to be alone. Okay? I'm going to be here, whether it's just being here, us talking, anything. I'm going to be here," I tell my boyfriend.

" Well, I don't want you here. At all, for none of that stuff. I don't want you," He sighs.

I fiddle with my fingers to try and distract myself from the tears trying to form in my eyes. I shake my
head.

" I don't care. I know you're in pain, you miss May. This shouldn't happen to you, but it did. And you have people who care about you, who are going to be here for you. Like me. I'm not leaving you," I say sternly.

" God damn it Wanda don't you get it. I don't want you. At all. Not here, not over the phone. I. Don't. Want. You. I don't love you anymore. So you might as well stop loving me because I don't care," He scoffs.

I feel my heart shatter and everything I was thinking about before came to a stop. He doesn't love me anymore..?

" W-What...you don't mean that," I whisper with my lip quivering.

" I do. I really do. I just want you to go Wanda. Leave me alone," He says, he's avoiding eye contact.

I can see tears streaming down his cheeks, similar to myself.

" But...Pe- I love you," I cry softly.

Peter shakes his head and squeezes his eyes shut.

" We're done, Wanda. Go," His voice cracks.

" You really want me to go," I ask.

He nods and turns so his back is facing me. I nod and breathe heavily as I turn around. I walk as fast as I can out of the door and as soon as I get out of the apartment I break down. I let all of the sobs out. The tears fall from my eyes rapidly. I rush out of the building not having the guts to wipe my tears away, knowing they'll just be replaced by more. Once I get outside I stop and realize it's raining, Great just my luck. I start walking in the direction of the Avengers Tower. I don't understand, he said he loved me yesterday. Unless he was faking it the whole time. Maybe he was, maybe this was all so he could be an Avenger. God, I love him so much, too much. It hurts so bad. He didn't die, but he doesn't want me anymore. He doesn't love me.

" Wanda? Holy shit are you okay," I hear a familiar voice exclaim.

I realize I'm in the Avenger's tower now, I walked all of the way here. I just didn't notice I was here yet. I'm soaking wet, my eyes are probably red and puffy from crying, and I might have mascara on my cheeks. I'm assuming I do. Tony, Sam, and Natasha are standing by the couch looking at me.

" I'm fine," I mumble, not knowing if anyone can hear me.

Nat rushes over to me and hugs me tightly. I can feel more tears coming, and nothing is going to stop them. I let out loud sobs and hold Natasha tighter. I feel Tont stroke my hair from the side.

" What happened kid," Tony asks me.

" Peter broke up with me. He said he didn't love me anymore," I whimper.

They all pull away and look at me in shock.

" He did? What the hell," Sam exclaims.

" But you two were just fine yesterday," Natasha frowns.

" I'm gonna kick him out of the Avengers," Tony growls.

I shake my head and hug my dad. " No. Please don't. He's alone Tony. He has no family left, he's going to need you all."

" What about you though," Sam says.

" H-he doesn't need me anymore...he doesn't love me," I whimper

Tony sighs and strokes my hair while he hugs me back.

" You're too caring kid. Come on let's get you to your room," My dad says softly.

We walk to my room, just me and him and I have tears streaming down my cheeks. I try to hold them in but it doesn't work. Once we get to my room we sit on the bed and I sob into my hands. I feel Tony rub my back in a comforting manner.

" Wanna talk to me kid," he asks softly.

" I don't know...I don't know how to feel," I whisper, quieting my sobs a little.

" What do you mean," Tony questions.

" I don't know how to feel about this. I- I love Peter. But he doesn't love me. I-I've lost so much, everyone I've ever loved left me. And now Peter did, but he didn't leave the same way as everyone else. My family died, was killed. Peter broke up with me. He chose to leave me, my family didn't get a choice. Yet Peter breaking up with me still hurts almost as much as my family dying," I explain shakily.

" Honey, I have no words of advice for you. I really don't. I have no idea what you're going through. I lost my parents but I still had people. I don't know what to say. But I can tell you that you don't have to hold it in, alright? Not at all. You get to cry Wanda, you can. Don't hide the way you’re feeling," He tells me.

I let out a cry and fling myself into his arms. I cry against his shoulder and he strokes my hair.

" I know Wands, let it out," he sighs.

" I don't understand. Why does everyone always leave me? Why is it me, is something wrong with me," I sob.

It's true. Everyone always leaves me. My mama, my papa, my real father, Pietro, now Peter. Maybe it's me, maybe I'm the problem. Maybe it's a curse, it's as if I'm not meant to be loved. Maybe I'm not, maybe I deserve to be alone forever.

" Honey, no. Nothing's wrong with you. It's not your fault, it's just the way life decided to treat you. And it's fucked up because you deserve so much better. But everything is gonna be okay, alright? I'm not gonna leave you, you have us. The Avengers. We're always gonna be here with you," Tony assures me.

I let out a whimper and hug him tighter.

———————————————————————

It’s been two weeks since Peter broke up with me. I haven’t talked to him at all since then. I still feel so hurt, but I don’t show it anymore. I try not to. I’m in the living room with Sam and Nat. We’re all watching this horror movie called The Nun. There are so many jump scares. I cover up with the white blanket and bring it to my face. A jump scare appears, me and Sam scream and jump onto each other. Nat bursts out laughing and we glare at her.

“ How are you laughing?! She just died,” Sam cries out dramatically.

“ I’m not laughing about that I’m laughing about you both being Avengers and having fought robots, yet you’re scared of a fictional movie,” She chuckles.

Sam and I stick our tongues out at her and sit up straight again. We continue watching the movie and the ding of the elevator sounds in the room.

“ Um Wanda,” I hear the familiar voice of Tony speak.

I turn and look at him, he looks confused and worried. I furrow my eyebrows and pause the movie.

“ Yes,” I ask hesitantly, Sam and Nat have turned to him also.

“ There’s someone here for you, says he wants to interview just you for the New York Times. He seems kind of weird,” Tony tells me.

“ Oh…just me? Why just me,” I ask with confusion laced in my voice.

“ I don’t know, I can tell him to leave kid,” Tony suggests.

I shake my head, “ No it’s fine. I’ll go talk to him.”

Tony and I go to the elevator and we go down. Once we get to the guest floor where we do the interviews and give the tours I see a man standing in front of the statue with Pietro’s outfit he wore when he died. His back is facing us so I can’t see his face. He has short dirty blonde hair, he looks like he’s wearing a maroon leather jacket, a white shirt, and black pants.

Tony clears his throat, “ Here’s Maximoff. You have 20 minutes at most.”

The man turns around and my eyes widen, I step back towards Tony. My heart stops as my eyes meet his. Erik Lehnsherr, my so-called father is standing there. He looks the same as I remember him, he looks like he barely aged. I’ve seen news stories, videos, and pictures of him but I hadn’t seen him in person until now. Why is he here?

“ W…What are you doing here,” I say shakily.

Tony looks down at me with concern.

“ Do you know him, kid,” Tony asks me.

I look at my dad hesitantly, my real dad. Tony. Erik may biologically be my father, but he is nothing to me. Not anymore.

“ No…I’ll be up when we’re done. Bye Dad,” I lie as I give him a small smile of assurance.

Tony nods hesitantly and leaves, entertaining the elevator and going up. I slowly turn my head back around to Erik and my stare hardens.

“ So…you’re calling strangers dad now,” His accented voice speaks. He has a different accent than mine, he is not Sokovian whatsoever. His accent is more English.

“ No. He is not a stranger. He is the man who took me in after I had lost everything. He’s my father,” I reply sternly, staring to walk towards the man in front of me.

“ Hmm…and does he know that your real father is still alive? Because fortunately, I’m here-,” Erik starts to say but I interrupt him.

“ Do not. You are not my father. You’re Erik Lehnsherr, Magneto, but you are not my father. You stopped being my father the second you started to treat Pietro and I differently,” I spit angrily.

He rolls his eyes and turns back to mine and Pietro’s outfits during Ultron.

“ Oh Wanda, it was for your own good,” He sighs.

“ My own good? You changed, you cared about your family. You would read us bedtime stories, hug us, watch movies with us, play with us. Then one day you just decided to treat us differently. You and Mama would always fight. You would get mad at Pietro for simple things and yell at him. And sometimes you would be nice to just me, but sometimes you would yell at me also. Then you left, and you didn’t come back! Didn’t come back when Mama died. We were two 10-year-olds alone in Sokovia. And you didn’t even come back after Pietro’s death. How was any of that for my own good,” I shout.

“ I left because I knew you and Pietro were going to have powers. You would both inherit the gene that I have. And I was right. I knew you were different, nothing like me or your brother,” He explains.

I scoff and cross my arms, “ Fuck you. You can go ahead and leave again then.”

He glares at me and sits down on a chair. I stand there and look at him angrily.

“ What do you want from me? Why did you come
here after everything,” I question emotionlessly.

I truly do not care for him anymore, at all. Pietro and I had to be stuck with HYDRA for 5 years because he didn’t come back for us. His son died and he just didn’t care. He can leave and never come back for all I care. I have my family in this building, and I don’t need him.

“ You’re powerful daughter, you know you are. But I didn’t know how powerful you were. Not until I was told by one of my mutants about your powers and what she thinks you are. Now I want your help to get what I want,” He smiles innocently.

I walk over to the glass box that holds Pietro’s last outfit. My brother was a family boy, all he wanted was for his family to be safe. Even as a child, he wanted our family to move to America where there weren’t bombs blowing everything up. But then Mama died, Erik left, and all we had was each other. So every day when we were on the streets then when we were in HYDRA, he swore to protect me. Swore to me, to himself, and our mother. And he always did. Until he died, and I was left alone. Pietro would have never forgiven our father for anything he’s done, and I definitely will not either.

“ You come here, to my home. Asking for my powers and my help. After everything you’ve done? I don’t think so, you can figure out your own way Erik,” I speak without turning around.

“ You’re going to treat your own father like that? Really? I am your dad Wanda, not that billionaire in there. I am, Magneto. You will listen and come with me,” He scoffs.

I flip my head around and I feel my eyes glow red.

“ You have no room to talk! Now leave or I will make you leave. Magneto. I will never, ever again, call you my father,” I shout.

He looks at me angrily and as he opens his mouth to speak I bring my magic into my hands and push him through the glass windows. I push him with my magic and he flies through the air. I can’t see him since he’s so far away, and I don’t know where I sent him. But I don’t care, it’s far from here.

“ Wanda? Are you okay,” I hear a voice exclaim.

I turn to my left and see Cap, Nat, Tony, Sam, and Pepper all standing there. I fix my hair and take a deep breath.

“ Yes. I’m fine…. How much did you see,” I ask.

“ All of it, Stark didn’t trust the guy so we watched on the cameras. Then we came down here,” Sam tells me.

I nod and use my magic to fix the glass that I broke to make Erik leave. I turn to my family and sigh shakily.

“ Wands…why didn’t you tell us your dad was alive,” Pepper asks softly.

“ Because he’s not my dad. Tony is. Tony, you have been more of a father to me in a year than Erik Lehnsherr has in 17 years. My family is here, with you all. He means nothing to me, there was nothing to tell,” I explain.

Chapter Text

I scroll through pictures and videos on my phone. Of Peter and I. It's been 2 weeks, and I'm nowhere near over him. I thought maybe I could be, actually I take that back I knew I wouldn't be. I love him, I love him so much that it feels like I can't breathe without him. When I was with him I felt complete, I felt safe with him. I felt like nothing could ever hurt me when he was around. My heart felt full and my powers were calmer. It's like everything just felt right with him. And it hurts to know that he doesn't love me anymore. I put my phone down and sigh while looking at the ceiling. It's 1 in the morning and I can't sleep at all. Usually, I will go out into the living room and have hot chocolate with Tony if I can't sleep. And I think he's awake right now, so I stand up and walk out of my room. As I expected I see Tony sitting at the table drinking coffee and watching something on the TV. I walk over to him and he notices me.

" Hey kid, want me to make you hot chocolate," He asks me.

I smile weakly and shake my head, " No it's fine. I will get it."

I go into the kitchen and start making the warm drink. A crashing sound comes from somewhere outside and my head snaps over. What was that? I glance at Tony to make sure he heard it too, and he did. He's looking in the same direction I was.

" What the hell," Tony says as he stands up.

Suddenly all of the windows shatter and I gasp, running toward Tony. Tony puts his hand out and his Iron Man glove comes flying onto his arm. But the metal immediately gets yanked toward the wall. Tony along with it.

" Dad?! What's going on," I exclaim frantically.

I look around and suddenly three shadows enter the room. I recognize Erik Lehnsherr but the other two are unfamiliar to me. On the right side of Erik is a woman. She has dark skin and white hair, her eyes are glowing silver. She's wearing a leather black jumpsuit. On the left side of him is a man who looks to be in his late 40s. He has a beard and he's wearing a yellow and black leather body suit. And it looks like he has knives sticking out from his knuckles. My eyes widen and I step closer to my dad.

" What do you want," I shout angrily.

" You know what I want daughter. Come with me without struggle or else," Magneto states.

I look at Tony and then at Erik. I don't know what to do. If I go with Lehnsherr I don't know what will happen. And if I don't, I also don't know what will happen. My dad is glaring at the man right now, but he can't do anything since he is stuck against the wall.

" I'm not going with you. Ever," I spit angrily.

" Fine. The hard way it is," Erik smirks.

He moves his hand toward Tony, the iron glove is starting to crush his arm. Tony grimaces but tries not to make a sound. But I can tell it hurts. Suddenly a bunch of knives from the kitchen come flying towards us. I use my magic to push them out of the way and they go flying through the glass. I keep my magic in my hands and stand in front of the three mutants.

" Leave my family alone," I warn, and I feel my eyes glowing red.

Suddenly my dad starts breathing heavily, a scrap of metal is wrapped around his neck and starting to choke him. My eyes widen and I look at Lehnsherr. He's smirking and keeping his eyes on me.

" Erik stop!! Let him go," I cry out.

I throw a hex at Erik and he stumbles backward, he looks angry.

" I'll go with you. Just leave him out of this," I sigh in defeat.

" Okay. Come on then Wanda," My 'father' speaks.

I look at Tony and rush over to him, helping him up off of the ground.

" Can I say goodbye," I ask the people behind me.

Magneto nods and I immediately hug my dad tightly.

" Wanda you're not going with him. He's gonna hurt you," Tony whispers in my ear.

I pretend like I'm just hugging Tony but really I'm getting ready to fight. I can't let my father use me for my powers. He's a terrible person, he'll use them for evil. And if they get too powerful I don't know what will happen to me.

" I'm not going with him," I reply quietly.

I turn around quickly and shoot a beam of my magic at all of them. But then a strike of lightning hits Tony and I. I fall to the ground and Tony flies back into the wall. I feel Magneto pulling me toward the group of three with his powers and I start screaming.

" Why can't you leave her alone," Tony says angrily.

" Because she's my child. And if I want her to do something. She will do it," Erik replies.

Tears form in my eyes as Lehnsherr uses a piece of metal to cover my mouth. One also wraps around my wrists. I look at my dad with fear in my eyes.

" No, she's not. She might biologically be your child but she's my kid. And she doesn't have to do shit for you," My dad shouts.

Erik Lehnsherr chuckles then next I know everything is black.

————————————————————————

TONY STARK
*********************

They just took Wanda away. I don't know where. Magneto held me against the wall with his powers as they knocked her out and took her. As soon as they flew away from the tower in a jet I was released from the wall. I'm pacing around the living room cursing under my breath. That guy has my kid, sure she might biologically be his kid. But he doesn't care about her, he just cares about her powers. Suddenly I hear footsteps coming into the room. Natasha, Sam, and Rogers come running into the room.

" What the hell just happened?! We couldn't get out of our rooms," Romanoff yells.

I look at her and run my fingers through my hair.

" Erik Lehnsherr took Wanda. I couldn't stop him. I don't know where they went," I tell them.

They all stop talking and the room is silent.

" What? Well, we gotta find her, we gotta help her. Who knows what he's gonna do to her," Sam exclaims.

" Romanoff call Barton. Tell him to get here. Rogers tell Fury about this. He'll help," I tell them as I rush to the elevator so I can go to my lab.

" Is someone going to tell Peter," Sam asks.

" There's no reason to tell him. If he shows up then we'll see. But they're not together anymore," I state before the door closes.

* TWO WEEKS LATER*

PETER
********************

I've never felt worse than I do now. Everything feels so dull. I've healed a bit from my Aunt May's death. It hurts a lot, every time I walk through our apartment. But it feels a little better than before. But slowly realization hit me when I remembered what I said to Wanda. What I did. I broke up with her, told her I didn't love her, and said I wanted her to leave. We haven't talked since then. And it's been 3 weeks. I miss her so much, I should have never said any of that stuff. Cause I didn't mean it, everything I said was a lie. I hate myself for saying that to her. And god, her face. When I told her I didn't love her anymore, I can't get it out of my head. It was heartbreaking, I can't imagine how she felt. Hell, how she still feels. I've been wanting to talk to her but I haven't gotten to it. I'm scared, What if she doesn't take me back? Right now I'm going up the elevator at the Avengers tower. I have 3 bags of mine, the rent was due at my aunt's apartment. Hopefully, I still have a room here. The door opens and I walk in, everything is so much quieter than it used to be. It's weird...something seems off. Cap is reading the newspaper on the couch and Clint is sitting near him on a computer. Sam is sitting at the counter scrolling on his phone. What the hell?

" Peter? What are you doing here? We haven't seen you in forever," Steve exclaims as he stands up.

" Yeah um...I'm sorry," I mumble.

" It's okay kid we understand," Clint smiles sadly as he stands up.

I smile back at him and sigh shakily.

" I got kicked out of the apartment...I was hoping I still have a room here," I say hesitantly.

" Yeah of course you do Parker. You're an Avenger," The voice of Natasha speaks. She's leaning against the wall near the hallway to my room. She looks really tired, I've never seen her look like this. Her red hair is messy, she's wearing sweatpants and a T-shirt. It's definitely not normal. It's 5 pm so there's no way she was asleep.

" Y-Yeah I just didn't know since...you know...with Wanda," I frown while looking down.

I see Natasha look down and then clear her throat as if she's trying to change the subject.

" Well, you know where your room is. You can settle in," She says softly.

I start walking in that direction but then stop and turn around.

" How is she...by the way," I ask them all.

Sam glances over at Natasha and then at Clint. Is it Wanda? Is something wrong with Wanda?

" She's okay."

" She's still hurt."

Natasha and Steve say at the same time.

I furrow my eyebrows and look around.

" What's going on," I question hesitantly.

" Nothing Peter. Wanda just didn't want us to tell anyone else how she was feeling but Steve must have forgotten that. But since he already said something, she's pretty hurt about everything that happened between you two," The redhead states.

I frown and nod, " Yeah...I'm uh-I'm gonna go put my stuff up."

I walk away and sigh while looking down.

NATASHA
********************

I watch Peter walk away with his things to his room. I curse under my breath and we all walk to the elevator. Peter's staying here now, meaning that he might end up finding out that Wanda's gone. Stark doesn't want him to know because we don't know how he'll react. He could either be extremely worried and angry and try to find her. Or he could not care like he said he didn't, and make everyone else angry at him. Once the elevator opens we walk out onto Tony's floor. I haven't slept much since Wanda was taken. I've been doing everything to find her but it's not exactly working. We haven't found anything. Tony however hasn't slept at all. He's up at all hours nonstop looking. Pepper has tried to get him to sleep but he won't. We all walk towards Tony’s desk and as expected he’s sitting up typing on his computer, his glasses are on and he has a cup of coffee next to him. His black hair is a mess and he’s wearing a t-shirt and sweatpants.

“ Hey Tony find anything yet,” Steve says while walking to the other side of him.

Stark finally looks away from his computer and sighs, pinching the bridge of his nose. He shakes his head and looks at us.

“ No, I haven’t. I don’t know where they could have taken her. I’ve looked fucking everywhere,” Tony exclaims, I notice tears forming in his eyes.

Wanda’s been through a lot, from her parents dying to being tortured and forced to get her powers by HYDRA. And she doesn’t deserve any of this that’s happened previously.

Chapter Text

My head hurts, my whole body hurts. It's been two weeks since Erik Lehnsherr took me. I haven't left this cold, dark room since I got here. It's been terrible. Every few hours my father will come in with a few of his mutants. He'll have them hurt me, he will hurt me, or they will tase me. I'm not sure what he's trying to do, I don't know how hurting me is going to make my powers stronger. I'm lying on the table that they strapped me to. I would have tried to break out of these but immediately when I got here my father put a small bracelet around my ankle and it stops me from using my powers. I look up at the ceiling and sigh shakily, they should be coming in soon. To hurt me again. I hope the Avengers are looking for me, they are...I know they are. I don't know exactly where I am. I know I'm at my father's base for the mutants. And I'm pretty sure I'm in Brazil, but I don't know where in Brazil. I hear the door to the room open and I clench my fists.

" Hello daughter, any changes with your powers today," Erik speaks as he walks into the room.

I look at him with a glare, " I wouldn't know. You put that bracelet on me."

He chuckles and nods toward his mutants behind him. They walk over to me and start tasing me. I scream and throw my head back. After a minute they pull the weapons away and my father steps closer.

" It was either put that bracelet on you or have some of my mutants killed. We'll know if your magic spikes. Maybe you just need to feel a little more," He says before using his powers to make a dagger hover over my leg.

My eyes widen and I try to squirm away but I'm strapped down. I shake my head and once I feel the cold blade slice my skin I start screaming in pain.

" STOP STOP," I cry out as I feel the blood drip down my thigh.

He cuts another spot on my arm and I feel tears streaming down my cheeks. It hurts so bad.

" Please...," I whimper once he pulls the blade away.

He looks at me and sighs, " You're stubborn."

Erik and the mutants leave the room, closing the door immediately after. I look at the ceiling and sob, I want to go home. I miss my family.

*FLASHBACK*

I wake up to the warm feeling of the sunlight shining on me. However I am still cold, so I cuddle closer to the body warmth I feel behind me. I feel my boyfriend's arms wrapped around my waist, keeping me close to him. I hear his steady breathing so I know he is asleep. I smile and shift a little so I can fix my position, as I do so Peter tightens his grip around me. He hums and mumbles something in his sleep. He's technically not supposed to be in my room. Tony said if he stayed the night it would be in his room. But we knew that wasn't going to happen. I keep my eyes on my boyfriend, his soft brown hair in front of his forehead. His dark brown eyes that are closed right now. I love him so much.

" Mmh I can feel you staring Wands," He whispers.

His eyes open and they meet mine. I smile and scoot closer to his bare chest.

" I can't help it," I mumble against his warm skin.

One of his hands stays on my lower back and the other moves up to run his fingers through my hair. I grin and place a soft kiss on the side of his neck. He chuckles and kisses me passionately.

" I love you, I'll never stop," He whispers against my lips.

*NOW*

Tears fall from my eyes as I felt that moment flash through my head. It felt like I was living it all over again. But I wasn't, it was just my mind trying to comfort me. My powers trying to comfort me. I miss Peter, sometimes I wake up and hope to see him
standing by me. Getting me out of here. But I know that it won't happen, he doesn't love me anymore. I hear the door open to the room once again. I don't move, hoping whoever it is this time might think I'm just asleep.

" Miss? Are you awake," I hear an unfamiliar voice speak.

I hear footsteps I can see the person now, it's a younger girl. She looks like she might be younger than me but I'm not sure how much. She has pale skin and her hair is raven-colored, but it has green stripes of color throughout it. Her eyes are green similar to mine. She's wearing a black T-shirt and ripped jeans. The girl has a tray in her hand, and it has food on it.

" Oh hi...sorry you don't know me. I was told to bring you food," She smiles softly.

She unbuckles the strap stopping my right hand from moving, so now I can grab the food. But I don't. I'm so exhausted, my whole body hurts.

" Are you going to eat? They told me that you're sick. Maybe you should eat something," She tells me while sitting next to me.

" Stay away from me," I say weakly while looking at the girl.

Her smile falls a little and I feel bad. But I don't know who this girl is, what she's going to do.

" I'm sorry- I just...Storm told me that you're dangerous. That you're sick and that Magneto is trying to fix you. I was just told to bring you food," She sighs.

I turn to look at the ceiling and bite my lip.

" Sorry. I'm just hurt," I whimper as I squeeze my eyes shut.

The girl looks down at my leg, the few cuts there that were a little deep.

She stands up and raises her hand toward my leg. My eyes widen as green magic flows out of her hand and onto my wounds. The cuts that were there before start slowly disappearing. They're being healed by this stranger's powers. Once she's finished she sits next to the table. On the chair. She hands me the sandwich and I shakily take a small bite from the sandwich.

" My name is Lorna Dane, the mutants here call me Polaris. What's your name," She asks me.

I look at her and hesitantly reply, " Wanda."

She smiles and I see her eyes land on the burn marks I have on my neck from the tasing. Then her smile falls.

" Those marks? Are they from your sickness that they say you have," Lorna questions.

My eyes shift toward the ceiling and I sigh.

" Lorna...how old are you," I say weakly.

" I'm 15," She replies, immediately I look back at her. What does Erik need with a fifteen-year-old girl with powers?

" Why are you here," I speak quietly.

She frowns and shrugs, " Because of my dad. He's here. And my mom ran when she found out I had powers. So he's all I have. But also I'm a mutant, so I guess I belong with other mutants."

I stare at her and shake my head. I wonder if she actually knows what's going on with Erik. What he's planning on doing with me? If she's just lying to me.

" You know Erik Lehnsherr right," I ask her.

She laughs a little and nods with a smile

" Yeah, he's my dad," she tells me.

Immediately my jaw drops and my eyes widen. Dad? Erik Lehnsherr is her dad? That means...she's my sister? What the hell? Tears form in my eyes and I stare at her.

" What? I mean we don't look alike but it's true," she says.

Suddenly the door opens and the man with sharp claws and my father walk in. I've learned that the man's name is Wolverine. Erik gives Lorna a look and she leaves the room. He walks over to me and looks at my leg where the cut was.

He rolls his eyes, " That girl. She needs to stop being so nosey. I told her to bring you food and she came in here and told you her whole life story after healing you."

" I have a sister," I say with my voice cracking.

" Yes. But not fully. You two do not share mothers. Hers is American," he tells me.

I bite my lip to prevent me from shedding tears. This has been hidden from me my whole life. I thought all of my family was gone except for Erik, and I don't consider him my father. But I have a younger sister. She's only 2 years younger than me. This means he cheated on Mama with her mother. And didn't tell us we had a sister.

" Why do you have her here? She's only a child," I ask him sternly.

He chuckles and leans against the wall, " Wanda, daughter. You're a child also, and you're here. Your state is much worse than hers."

" Why...why do you treat me like this? What's so different about me," I whimper as my father stands up. Pulling out the same dagger from before.

" Because Wandika," he starts to speak. I flinch at the nickname. Pietro used to call me it. He was the only one to call me that. And I loved that nickname. But when Erik calls me it, I just feel terrible.

" You're more powerful than Lorna could ever be. And I need that power. Lorna has powers, and they're definitely useful. But you aren't like any of the mutants here Wanda. And you know it. You're different. I want your power, and I'm going to get it. You may be my daughter but I will do whatever it takes to get that power of yours," He tells me.

Tears stream down my cheeks and I squeeze my eyes shut. Why does he have to be this way? Why can't he just love me the way normal fathers love their kids? Why can't he care about me the way he cares about Lorna? He probably doesn't even care about her but he doesn't torture her. Suddenly I feel the dagger pressing into my skin on my thigh again. I cry out in pain and try to squirm away. Erik has strapped my arm in again so I can't move it. I cry and look down, watching as he makes multiple cuts in different spots. Once he's finally done I'm out of energy. Tears just stream down my cheeks.

" Feel anything different," He asks me while wiping the blood off of the knife with a towel.

I feel my eyelids starting to get heavy, but I refuse to close them.

" The Avengers will come for me. They will take me home. They won't stop until they find me," I say knowingly.

The Avengers are my family, and they all love me as much as I love them. I'm sure they are all searching as we speak. Or maybe even already on their way.

“ Daughter you are so naive. They are similar to me. Only wanted your power. They knew that they would rather have you as a “teammate” than an enemy. They aren’t going to come for you, Wanda. If anything they are probably celebrating,” Erik laughs as he starts to walk out of the door.

“ Oh, and I was just bluffing by the way. Lorna is not my daughter. You have no siblings left. She’s just another mutant here,” He states before leaving the room and shutting the door.

I lay there and look at the ceiling letting out a sob. Maybe he’s right, the Avengers don’t care for me. Tony, Pepper, Sam, Nat. They don’t really love me. And him lying about me having a sister? That’s fucked up. But I’m not even angry anymore, I’m just so tired. The stinging pain from the cuts becomes too much and I feel myself drifting off.

*FLASHBACK*

I walk out of the bathroom with a towel around my body, my hair is very damp from the shower. My eyes land on my cute boyfriend sitting criss-cross on my bed. He’s playing some game on his phone, he must have been doing that as he was waiting for me to get out of the shower. He spent the night last night and this morning I woke up and took a shower. It’s pouring rain outside though, so we don’t want to leave the tower yet. Peter finally looks up at me and his eyes roam over my body before he blushes and looks back at his phone. I giggle and walk over to my dresser, I find a pair of shorts and underwear but then I turn around and see Peter’s gray t-shirt sitting on my chair in the room. I grab it and look at my boyfriend.

“ Pete, is this clean,” I ask while holding the shirt up.

He looks up and nods, “ Yeah, why?”

I smile and slide on the t-shirt before jumping into my bed next to him. His eyes stay on me and he turns his phone off. I can tell he likes his shirt on me.

“ I like you in my shirts…you should wear them more often,” He tells me with that familiar look of lust in
his eyes.

I laugh and scoot closer to him, trying to get warm again.

“ Wands can I brush your hair,” He asks me as he softly fiddles with a brown strand.

It takes me by surprise a little but I nod and hand him the brush by my bed. I move so I am sitting with my back against his chest and in between his legs. I feel him gently brush and run his fingers through my hair and it feels so nice. Relaxing. I lean closer to him and smile.

“ I love you, baby,” He whispers into my ear.

Chapter Text

TONY
**************

Three weeks. It's been three goddamn weeks since Wanda was taken. We've looked for anything and everything. Steve and Natasha have been taking a Quin jet and flying to random places all over. Clint has been working with SHIELD and even all of the agents and Fury has been doing some massive exploring trying to find out where they could have taken her. Wilson has been doing research and asking his friends from all over the world. None of us has found anything. I've slept a few times, but I always woke up to terrible nightmares about her being tortured. Right now I'm in my lab, my head on the desk. I can feel tears coming but I refuse to let them go. What if she's really hurt? My kid, I was supposed to protect her.

" Tony! Tony, I think I found something," I hear the voice of Pepper shout as she comes running into the room.

I look up at her and for the first time in three weeks, I feel hope. She has her phone in her hands and she rushes over to me.

" Erik Lehnsherr, also known as Magneto has formed his own team consisting of only mutants. The old base of the mutants was in Boa Vista, Roraima in Brazil. But it is said that they relocated somewhere else. No one knows for sure but Lehnsherr was last seen walking into a stone building in Boa Vista, that was three weeks ago," My fiancé reads out loud.

My eyes widen and I stand up, " Three weeks ago? That was when he took Wanda."

Pepper nods and I see tears in her eyes, " I think we might have found her Tony."

" FRIDAY. Tell all of the Avengers to get ready, we're taking a Quin Jet to Brazil," I state.

WANDA
*****************
I hear a loud sound then suddenly I feel electricity shock my whole body. I cry out and my eyes shoot open. I scream and it feels like my body is on fire. Once it stops my vision is a little blurry so I squeeze my eyes shut and then open them. My 'father' is standing there, and the Wolverine man is standing in the corner.

" What are you playing at daughter? Sneaking into all of the mutants' heads? Making them think they're living nightmares? I thought your powers weren't changing. So either you're lying to me or you can just still use your powers with this bracelet on," Erik says angrily.

I look at him with confusion and let out a painful scream as he tases me once again.

" I didn't do anything! Stop, I didn't do that," I sob while trying to squirm away from the weapon.

He grabs my chin and forces me to look at him. Tears stream down my cheeks and my lip quivers. My eyes meet his and I can tell he's not very happy with me. He pushes my face away and walks toward the door.

" Logan. Do it, don't kill her though. I still need her magic," Erik spits before slamming the door shut.

I look at Wolverine with fear and he walks toward me with an emotionless look on his face.

" Please...no," I whimper before his claws come out of his knuckles.

My eyes widen and he starts slashing cuts all over me. My thighs, all up my arms, my cheek, my stomach, my waist. It hurts so bad. It won't kill me, because even though my magic is trapped right now, it still will keep me from dying. Once he's finished I'm sobbing and screaming out of pure pain and fear. He leaves the room and I feel blood running down my arms.

* FLASHBACK*

One of my favorite things about the Avengers is that we have a whole day. Once a month when there are no missions, no danger, no one does anything. We all watch movies together and just hang out. Today is that day. And today is also Peter's first time doing it with us. To start it off we're watching Evil Dead Rise. Peter, Nat, Sam, and I are sharing the big couch. Peter is sitting on the edge and I'm leaning my head on his shoulder, our hands are laced together under the blankets. Sam is laying his head on my lap and his feet are on Nat's. Tony and Pepper are sitting together on the small two-person couch. Clint is sitting in the chair next to the side of the couch Peter is on. And Steve is sitting on the floor leaning on the side of the couch where Natasha is.

" Why the hell did he just take the book? Is he stupid," Sam exclaims.

" Because he's a kid and it's a horror movie. What do you expect," Clint replies while playfully rolling his eyes.

" So? Wanda and Peter wouldn't do something that stupid and they're kids," Sam scoffs.

" Yeah, you would be the one to take the book Wilson," Tony snickers as he looks away from the movie.

I giggle and look over at my boyfriend next to me. His thumb is tracing circles over the skin of my hand but he doesn't even notice. He's focused on the movie, and it's adorable. I kiss his cheek and then look back at the movie. After a few minutes of watching, there's a jump scare and everyone in the room yells or screams. Peter wraps his arms around me and I bury my head in his neck. Sam covers his eyes and accidentally kicks Nat. Which leads to her punching him and Sam whining. Peter places a kiss on my neck and I giggle before pulling away and looking back at the movie.

" Wands," Peter whispers in my ear.

I feel his arms tighten around me and pull me closer to him. I smile but ignore him and watch the movie.

" Wandaaaaa. Baby," He whines but I can feel his grin against my neck.

I look at him and kiss his lips softly then pull away.

" I love you," He says as he turns toward the TV screen.

*NOW*

TONY
****************

" Alright, guys. We remember the plan? Wilson, you go in, and if someone's in there ask if they have a phone. Hill will tell you over coms if it's someone that works with Magneto. If it is, then Wanda's in there. And we're getting her out today," I state the plan to everyone.

All of the Avengers are as adamant about finding Wanda as I am. Even Pepper is here with the iron suit I made for her. Fury and all of SHIELD have been looking for her also. They're here just not in the jet, agents are gonna go inside if it's the base. Once Sam goes up to the door of the building he knocks at looks around.

3RD PERSON
********************
Sam knocks on the door of the building and seconds later someone opens it. The Avengers and SHIELD can hear him and the person speak due to the coms. The person who answers the door is a woman with dark skin and silver hair. Also known as Storm.

" Hey, I'm so sorry to bother you. But I'm lost and my car broke down like a mile from here. Do you happen to have a phone I can use just to call my friend," Wilson lies to the woman.

She nods and motions for Sam to come inside. He glances behind him before following her into the building. The second he gets inside he kicks her into the wall and Red Wing comes flying into the building. The robot shoots a dart at her and she falls unconscious. All of the Avengers and a group of SHIELD agents come rushing into the building.

" Let's get Wanda back," Steve states as everyone separates as planned. The group of SHIELD agents go to take down other mutants in the building and put them in custody. Natasha and Clint go left to search for Wanda, Sam, and Steve go straight, and Tony and Pepper go right. They all break down every door trying to find their young Avenger.

" Any sign of her yet," Nick Fury asks over the coms.

" No, we're still looking. But nothing yet," Pepper replies before shooting down a door. Yet there is nothing in that room also.

A loud sound is heard and a woman with red hair has thrown Tony across the room with her mind. It's Jean Gray. Pepper blasts her back into a wall and the woman gasps. The two start fighting as Sam and Steve go into a basement. There is a loud thudding noise and grunts.

" Let me out! What's going on," The accented voice of a man shouts. It sounds familiar to the two.

Suddenly someone jumps from out of nowhere and lands in front of them. Wolverine is standing there with an emotionless look as always. His claws are out and he moves to slash Sam but Sam steps back quickly. Then they all three begin to fight. Romanoff and Barton are running down a hallway blowing open every door they see.

" Wanda," Clint shouts out, hoping to get a response from the girl that is his family.

He shoots an arrow at a stone door and it explodes. And both of the agents stop in their tracks. Wanda Maximoff is lying on a table strapped to it. Blood all over her arms and legs and even some other spots. Her brown hair is spread out and messy and she has tear-stained cheeks. She's wearing the same clothes she was wearing when she was taken.

" Wanda," Natasha whispers before running over to the young girl.

" Guys...We found her," Clint says into the coms.

" Get her out of here- SHIT- We'll be out," Tony grunts while he fights the woman with telekinesis.

Clint rushes over to the brunette and helps Natasha unstrap her from the table. She seems to be going in and out of consciousness.

WANDA
****************

I see a familiar redhead, she looks blurry because of my state right now. It's probably a hallucination. Then I see Clint run over to me and they start unstrapping me from the table. Wait...is this real?

" C-Clint? Nat? Are you really here," I ask shakily.

" Yeah Wands, we're here. Come here let's get you out of here," Clint responds as he picks me up into his arms.

" Wait...the-the bracelet," I say weakly as I motion to the device around my ankle.

Natasha snaps it off and it shatters onto the floor. I feel my power back in me but I won't be healed for a few days for sure. Clint and Nat start running out of the room and I can feel the other Avengers in the building. Fighting with Erik's mutants, I wonder where he went. But I can't really think much right now. I'm very weak, and I know this will take the rest of my energy. But I need to help my family. I close my eyes and find the minds of the people they're fighting. My mom and dad are fighting a woman, Jean Gray. Sam and Steve are fighting Wolverine. I use my magic and make both of the mutants go unconscious, stopping the fight quickly. Then after that, everything goes black.

* FLASHBACK*

Peter and I walk down the sidewalk of New York, we aren't holding hands or anything. We're just walking. I'm laughing at something funny my boyfriend just said. Suddenly someone walks out of a video game store with a bag in his hands.

" No shit? Penis Parker. Holy Sh- Wanda Maximoff," The guy exclaims.

Wait did he just say Penis Parker? Talking to my boyfriend?

" Flash. We're going now," Peter sighs but the guy stops him.

Flash looks at me and smirks, his eyes look over my body and immediately I'm disgusted.

" You probably don't know me. I'm Flash Thompson. A...friend of Parker's from school. I'm also the most attractive guy at our school," He introduces himself.

I can see Peter getting annoyed and jealous out of the corner of my eye. So I fake smile and nod.

" Okay, that's nice," I say while trying to walk away toward my boyfriend.

" Why don't we go on a date sometime Wanda? You would like me, I have a lot of perks," Flash flirts.

" Okay, Flash that's enough. C'mon Wanda. We're going," Peter says as he grabs my wrist and we start walking away.

" I guess you weren't lying about that internship Penis. See you Monday and we'll talk about my first date with your friend," Flash shouts as we walk away.

Peter walks down the street and he's pissed, he's not saying anything. I look around and push him into an alleyway. He looks at me in shock and I smash my lips against his. Immediately he closes his eyes and grabs my hips, pulling me closer to him.

" You're hot when you're jealous," I giggle against his lips.

" He's a dick," Peter says as he pulls away from the kiss.

" You know I only love you right? I only ever will," I whisper while placing soft kisses on random spots on his jaw, neck, cheek, etc.

Peter closes his eyes and nods, " I know. I only love you too."

" Plus...he's not nerdy enough for me," I joke as I smile up at him. He grins and places a kiss on my forehead.

*NOW*

TONY
*************

Rogers, Wilson, Pepper, and I run onto the Quin Jet, Barton and Romanoff are already on there with Wanda. Immediately my eyes land on Wanda, Natasha is sitting next to her as Wanda lays on the cot we have in here for emergencies like these. My kid, she's bruised and has blood all over her. Her eyes are closed, oh god her eyes are closed. I walk over to her and feel her pulse, luckily it's there. She's just unconscious, and weak. I look at Pepper and she is just as worried as I am. She moves a strand of hair out of Wanda's face and sighs.

" She needs to go straight to medical when we get back," Cap says.

Everyone else is silent, and it's a painful silence. She's not dead, she's here with us. But she could have died.

" What kind of sicko does this to his own daughter," Sam whispers angrily.

" He's crazy, she's just a kid," Rogers sighs.

Wanda whimpers in her sleep and shifts a little. But she doesn’t wake up.

“ What are we gonna do if Lehnsherr comes for her again,” Romanoff says softly as she strokes Wanda’s hair.

“ He’s not getting her. We’ll do everything we can to
make sure he leaves her alone,” I say sternly.

Chapter Text

" Wandaa," I hear my boyfriend whisper in my ear.

I hum and keep my eyes closed, cuddling more into the blanket. I feel him press a kiss to my temple, then my cheek, my nose, the side of my mouth, and a few other spots.

" Wake up baby," Peter whines and plays with my hair.

I giggle and open my eyes finally. I am met with my boyfriend's bright smile and he softly kisses my lips. I grin and kiss him back passionately, running my fingers through his hair.

" Did you sleep good," He asks as he pulls away.

Peter traces his fingers over my bare collarbone and I laugh a little at the tickle.

" Mmh...yeah. Only because you were here," I say with a yawn.

" Wanda...," Peter speaks with a sudden serious face.

I look at him once again and tilt my head with a smile still on my face.

" Yes," I reply playfully as I take his hand, caressing his skin with my thumb.

" You need to wake up," He tells me sternly.

My smile drops and I furrow my eyebrows.

" What? Peter what do mean," I ask hesitantly.

" Wanda, please wake up," Peter exclaims.

*NOW*

My eyes shoot open and everything is blurry. My body hurts. I start to breathe heavily and try to squirm away but I'm too weak. I hear a loud beeping sound start and it makes my head hurt. I whimper and squeeze my eyes shut, then I feel a hand on my arm. I cry out and open my eyes, Tony is standing there looking at me with a worried look on his face. I see his mouth moving but the ringing in my ears is too much. Suddenly everything goes back to normal and I can hear him.

"...you hear me?! Honey, calm down," Tony cries out.

My breathing calms down a little and I realize who's all in the room. Natasha, Steve, Sam, Clint, Thor, and Tony. Everything is floating but the people in the room and the bed that I'm on due to my powers. I gently sit everything down and look around the room more. I'm on the medical floor at the Avengers Tower. They got me back.

" Tony," I whisper shakily as my eyes meet his.

" Yeah kid, it's me. Are you okay? How are you feeling," He says softly.

I look down and notice all of the bandages on my body. Both of my arms, both of my legs, I feel one around my waist, I feel one around my neck also.

" It hurts," I mumble while touching my dad's arm.

" What hurts Wanda," he asks me.

" Everything," I reply with my voice cracking a little.

Tony frowns and nods in understanding. I can tell that he is worried. He kisses my forehead and I sigh shakily.

" Mr. Stark, Mr. Parker is searching for you," FRIDAY states out into the room.

My eyes widen and Tony curses under his breath. Parker? As in Peter Parker? My Peter? The Peter I haven't seen or talked to in over a month? He's here? Does he know that I'm hurt? Does he know where I was? I have so many questions.

" Peter's here," I question with a gasp.

" Yeah, he moved in about a week after you were taken. He got kicked out of the apartment cause the rent was due," He tells me.

" You can go talk to him," I assure my dad and he bites his lip.

" Are you sure," Tony says hesitantly.

" Yes, it's okay," I smile weakly before he walks out of the room.

Sam is the only one left in the room now. He walks over to the chair next to my bed and sits in it. We look at each other and I let a few tears fall from my eyes.

" Hey Maxi...I'm glad you're okay," My best friend tells me.

I give him the same smile I gave Tony. I'm so happy to be home, safe, away from him. But I can't get it out of my head. He was willing to kill me, he was going to kill me, just to get my powers for who knows what. He doesn't care about his own daughter. He's the only biological family member I have left and he's a terrible person. He's a terrible father.

" I missed you, Sam," I speak shakily.

He tears up and looks down, barely holding in a sob. Tears are streaming down his cheeks.

" I thought you were dead Wands. I really did. I thought he was gonna kill you as soon as he took you. I was looking, like the others but I thought we were too late until we found you," he rambles.

My lip quivers and I put my hand on his arm. Sam is my best friend, he may not be 17 but he's my best friend. He's been here for me, hung out with me, talked to me. The last time I had a best friend before Sam was in elementary school. From grade 2 to grade 4 I had a friend whose name was Lenka Bartos. We would always hang out, but we stopped talking after Pietro decided to fight Lenka's brother for calling us poor. Even though he wasn't wrong. Lenka's family ended up moving out of Sokovia to who knows where sometime before my parents died. But the girl I knew back in elementary was nothing compared to Sam Wilson.

" I-I know...I'm okay. You're crying, I've never seen you cry," I choke out.

Sam laughs breathlessly and shakes his head, " Yeah well, I was worried."

If I wasn't in so much pain I would hug him right now. But since I can't I just pat his arm.

" You know...Peter's been wanting to talk to you," He tells me.

I freeze and avoid eye contact with him. I don't know how to take that. I still love Peter, god of course I do.

" Does he know where I've been," I ask.

Sam shakes his head and my heart drops, " No, we didn't tell him. Every time he tried to look for you we made up something and said you weren't in your room, weren't at the tower, were busy. He didn't question anything, I think he just assumed you didn't wanna talk to him."

He didn't think anything of it? He didn't see me at all for 2 weeks and didn't think anything of it? I feel my chest clench and tears form in my eyes. It hurts, if he never would have broken up with me he would have been here. He would have known. He doesn't love me anymore, so I don't know why he cared to talk to me anyway. The door to the room opens and Tony walks in with Doctor Helen Cho.

" Hi Wanda, how are you feeling," She asks me.

I shift a little but pain rushes through me and I sigh.

" M-My whole body hurts. I'm tired," I speak softly.

Helen nods and looks at the computer next to my bed. Her eyes widen and she glances between me and the computer.

" Um...do you feel any pain specifically in your chest? Around your heart or lungs," She questions.

I shake my head, " No. It's just pain everywhere. O-On my skin...the bruises and burns. The cuts, the cuts hurt a lot."

Tony sighs and looks down, sitting on the bed next to me. He strokes my hair and I lean closer to him.

" Well, normally any sort of tasers don't cause burns. But it seems as though the tasers must have been turned up...to maximum velocity. From what I can see it affected your heart just a little. But it's back to normal now, it was just more shocked afterward. But I am concerned about how much it didn't affect you. If nothing hurts now then I'm not sure if that is a good or a bad thing. Being tased with that much energy should have really affected you. A seizure would have been normal in that situation, even death. But you seem to be fine other than the burns," Helen tells me.

I sigh shakily and look up.

" It's my powers...sometimes they go on autopilot and protect me. My powers are the reason I didn't die in there, multiple times. The cuts, the tasing apparently. That's why it didn't affect me that much," I explain.

She nods in understanding and grabs something from a drawer, I can't see what it is.

" Well, I do have something for the pain. We can get you to your room tomorrow and I'll keep watch on you. You'll be on bed rest for a week," she tells me as she walks over to me.

My eyes land on the needle in her hands and my heart stops. No. HYDRA would inject me with things, serums, they made me hurt so much. I can't do that again. She's going to hurt me. I move towards Tony and shake my head.

" N-no...no please I don't- stop," I say frantically.

My dad puts his hand on my shoulder and looks confused.

" Hey kid...it's okay. It's just to help with the pain," Tony says softly.

" NO! Stop! She's going to hurt me! She's like HYDRA! Dad please," I scream with tears streaming down my cheeks.

" Wanda? What's going on," Sam frowns while standing up.

" LEAVE ME ALONE! STOP! DAD," I sob as I sit up. But then I fall back onto the bed after the pain worsens from sitting up. I cry out and throw my head back in pain.

" Hey, hey, sweetie. Wands, come on. Calm down, she doesn't have to do it. She was just offering," Tony exclaims trying to calm me down.

I cry out once again and windows in the room shatter. All of the pictures on the wall fall and shatter also. Tony touches my forehead but then gasps and stands up.

" Holy shit! What was that," He yells.

I continue sobbing as I look at him, " I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to. Don't touch me," I sob.

I invaded Tony's head, my magic made him see what I was thinking. What I was scared of. I didn't mean to, but I did. Why isn't it working, why can't I control my magic?

Suddenly I feel a pinch in my arm and I look over, but then everything starts to go blurry.

" Daddy...Nechci jít...Ne, omlouvám se. Omlouvám se (I don't want to go...No, I'm sorry. I'm sorry)," I slur before everything goes black.

—————————————————————

I wake up to the slow beeping once again. I hear voices as I slowly open my eyes.

" She's most likely just having trouble dealing with the trauma. Her powers react off of her emotions sometimes, right? This is probably just what's happening," I hear Helen Cho say.

My vision is blurry so I can't currently see where she is or who she is talking to.

" No, but she's never had this much trouble controlling them before. How do you know something isn't seriously wrong," I hear my dad speaking.

" Mr Stark I've done every test I can and I can assure you nothing is wrong. Maybe she just needs help learning to control them," Helen suggests.

I can finally see them standing by the door of the room, Pepper is there also. I shift and look around. Somehow they have already fixed the broken windows and cleaned up the pictures my powers broke. They all look at me and my parents walk over to me.

" Hi honey, how are you doing," Pepper smiles softly.

" I-I want to go to my room," I whimper.

Tony looks at Doctor Cho and she looks hesitant.

" Are you sure? You've only been here for 12 hours Wanda," She replies.

I nod and look at my mom and dad with pleading eyes. I will feel more comfortable in my room. Maybe my magic will calm down.

" Okay, I'll get a wheelchair," the doctor states as she turns to leave the room.

" I can walk, I just need a little help," I say before she can go anywhere.

Next, I know I am on the elevator going up to the floor my room is on. I am leaning against Tony for support. The pain I feel while standing up is terrible, I didn't think it was going to be this bad. But I didn't want a wheelchair, it would make me feel useless. Weak.

The elevator door opens and I limp out, Tony holding me to his side. We walk by the kitchen and I stop in my tracks. Peter Parker is standing by the couch looking at me. His eyes widen and his jaw drops a little. His eyes travel over my body, but not in the way he used to do it. Not when he loved me and he would look at me all of the time. No, now he is looking because of the burns and gashes I have all over my skin. He’s wearing a white T-shirt and black sweatpants. He must not have had school today. He looks as handsome as ever. But I have to remind myself that we’re not together anymore.

" Wanda," Peter's voice cracks, I see tears in his eyes.

He's crying? Why is he crying? I look down and start to walk again with the help of Tony. We walk past him and he just keeps his eyes on me silently.

' Oh my god. Wanda. What happened to her? I thought she was here. How long was she gone? Who did this to her?'

I hear Peter's thoughts, I squeeze my eyes shut as I try to push my magic away from him. I didn't mean to read his mind. Once we get to my room Tony gently lays me down in the bed. He covers me up and sits next to me.

" You want me to put something on the TV," He asks softly.

I nod, still shocked about seeing Peter. He puts on a sitcom that he knows I like then he lays on the other side of me on the bed to watch it with me. He kisses my forehead and strokes my hair.

" I’m so sorry I didn’t find you sooner kid. I really am. I tried so hard to find you, I didn’t sleep,” Tony sighs.

I look up at him and shake my head, “ It’s not your fault Dad. You found me, that’s all that matters.”

He smiles sadly and grabs something out of his pocket. He hands my phone to me and I take it. I turn it on and I am met with at least 15 messages from Peter. Immediately I sigh and put my phone on the nightstand next to me. Tony looks at me and frowns.

“ I know you’re upset with him. I understand that. I would be too. But…he’s been looking for you. Trying to talk to you since he got here. He’s asked about you a lot, asked how you’ve been. We didn’t tell him you were gone. But maybe we should have,” my dad tells me.

I look at the TV screen and bite my lip.

“ I’m glad you didn’t. He broke up with me…if he doesn’t love me anymore I don’t know why he cares to talk to me,” I mumble.

“ Well maybe just…talk to him. Yeah? Give him a chance to apologize if that’s what he wants to do,” Tony suggests.

Chapter Text

PETER
********************

It's been 5 days since I saw her. My Wanda. Actually, I can't call her my Wanda anymore. Not since I ruined everything between us. I got here two weeks ago and I didn't see her at all. I thought, maybe she was just avoiding me. But no, she was gone the entire time. Sam told me everything. Her father took her and wanted her powers for himself. He was willing to kill her for them. I've been wanting to talk to her, but I don't know how. I hurt her, I told her I didn't love her. And she's hurt right now, not just from me, but from her dad. When I saw her with all of those cuts and burns on her. I wanted to hug her, I wanted to cry and tell her how sorry I was. But I couldn't, it was like I was stuck in place. She could have died, I can't lose Wanda. I can't. I lost May, and I broke up with the love of my life. But I need her, I love her. I love her so much, and I need to talk to her. I'm standing in the kitchen eating an apple. I hear a door close and I look up. I see the brunette girl that I love walk into the room. Her burns and cuts look better but are still noticeable. She's wearing some short gray shorts and a black tank top. She looks beautiful as always, despite the marks on her. Her eyes land on me and she stops walking. Her green eyes are red-rimmed, she's been crying.

WANDA
******************

I look down and walk past Peter once I get into the kitchen. I open the fridge and grab a container of yogurt.

" Hi Wands," I hear Peter speak.

I avoid eye contact with him and start to pour the yogurt into the bowl.

" Can we talk," He asks as he moves to where I'm standing.

I glance over at him and bite my lip, " I don't really want to talk Peter."

He nods and sighs shakily, " Yeah...yeah I- um how are you feeling? You look better."

I turn around and put the yogurt back into the fridge.

" I feel better mostly. It still hurts a little," I mumble.

Peter stays silent and watches me.

" I missed your voice," He blurts out.

I look up and our eyes meet. My skips a beat and I see his eyes move to my lips.

" Peter," I whisper softly. He moves his hand toward mine and I look at our hands. They're just barely touching, and I don't know whether to let him talk or start crying.

He steps a little closer to me but then tears fill my eyes and I step away. He hurt me, he broke up with me, and he said he didn't love me. I'm not just going to let him do this. I've been through so much in the past month, I can't do this right now.

" Please can we talk about us, Wanda," The boy next to me asks.

I wipe a tear off of my cheek and shake my head.

" Not now Peter," I sigh before walking back to my room.

As I'm walking my powers push the couch roughly against the wall. I stop and look at it, then at Peter who looks shocked also. I haven't been able to control my powers at all lately. And I hate it, it's something Erik did I'm sure. Maybe he did really do something to my powers.

" Shit," I cry as I continue walking to my room.

I sit on my bed and cry into my hands. After who knows how many minutes of crying I hear a knock on my bedroom door.

" Come in," I say shakily, my accent thicker due to crying.

The door opens and Natasha walks in, closing the door behind her.

" Hey red, what's going on," She asks softly as she sits next to me on the bed.

" A lot," I choke out as I lean my head against her shoulder.

She wraps her arms around me in a hug and pulls me closer to her gently.

" Talk to me," She says, and that causes me to break down.

" I saw Peter in the kitchen and he wanted to talk to me and I told him I didn't want to even though I kind of do. But then he said he missed my voice and he touched my hand and he looked like he wanted to kiss me but I couldn't so I moved then he asked to talk again and I left. I miss him too but I can't do that right now with everything that just happened to me. And on top of that, I'm scared Erik is going to come looking for me again. And my powers are out of control and there are times where I just can't control them and I don't know what to do," I blurt out with a sob.

" I have three things to say about that whole thing Wands," Nat tells me.

I don't say anything so she continues, " First, that asshole is not going to come for you. I think he knows better. We're going to protect you. Plus Thor is back now so he'll be happy to protect you."

I laugh a little even though tears are streaming down my cheeks.

" Second, Tony wanted to tell you himself when he got back from the meeting. But he thinks he found someone that can help you. He said he talked to this guy, some sorcerer named Doctor Strange. He offered to try to help you," She tells me with a small smile.

That lightens my mood a little. Someone might be able to help me. But my mind is stuck on my ex-boyfriend.

" That's good...and Peter," I question while looking up at her.

" Whenever you think you're ready. Talk to him. You don't have to get back together with him, don't feel like you have to. But just talk about what you need to. He said hurtful things and you don't have to forgive him for that," Natasha suggests.

I nod and close my eyes, I'm so tired.

—————————————————————

It's been four days since I've talked to Peter in the kitchen. We've seen each other a few times since then. We've said hi, but that's it.

" Hey kid, this is Stephen Strange. Or Doctor Strange," Tony speaks as he walks into the room.

I'm meeting Doctor Strange for the first time, he's going to start helping me with control. Or at least try to help me. A man with a red cape and a dark blue robe-type outfit is standing next to Tony. He has raven hair on the top of his hair then the sides are gray. And there is some sort of necklace with a metal eye attached to it around his neck. He smiles softly at me and puts his hand out for me to shake it.

" I'm Wanda Maximoff," I introduce myself before shaking his hand.

He suddenly pulls his hand back and winces, my magic shocked him.

" I'm so sorry, I- I didn't mean to do that," I say frantically while pulling my hands to my chest.

Strange shakes his head and gives me an assuring look, " It's okay Ms. Maximoff. I'm here to help you with control, that's what I'll do," He says.

Next, I know Stephen and I are alone on the training floor. While we won't be training, of course, my magic will be involved in helping me control. So we wanted to be safe.

" Okay Wanda, can you show me your magic? Just bring it into your hand and keep it there," He says.

I nod and bring my magic into my hands, but it doesn't stay there. It shoots against the wall and shakes the floor a little. I put my magic back in my hands quickly and squeeze my eyes shut.

" That's okay, here let's sit down," He suggests.

We both sit on the floor, crisscrossed and facing each other.

" Try again, take a deep breath, and bring your magic out. Into your hand," He says slowly.

I take a deep breath as he said then look at my hand. I bring my magic out into my hand and it just stays in my hand. It's staying.

" Now just focus on keeping it there, but move it around a little," He tells me.

I move my powers around my fingers, twisting and twirling it around. Then I put it away, I controlled
it!

" Good job, let's go on," He says with a nod.

—————————————————————

I'm sitting on the edge of my bed, watching a newer sitcom. It's pretty funny actually, I like it. I hear a knock on my door and look away from the TV.

" Come in," I call out, then the door opens.

Peter is standing there and he looks nervous. I take a sharp breath in and look at him.

" Hey um...a-are you ready to talk yet," He asks hesitantly.

I sigh and look down, we do need to talk. I know that. Natasha and Tony are right. I need to hear what he has to say. I nod and he closes the door before walking to the other side of me and sitting next to me on the bed. I fiddle with my fingers and I know he's looking down too.

" Wanda...I'm so sorry. I- I don't know how to tell you how sorry I am. I feel like shit, I've felt like shit since I said that stuff to you. I should have never broken up with you, you were just trying to help me and I just...I didn't mean any of the stuff I said then, Wands. I promise I didn't. I was just so hurt about May, I didn't know what to do. But that's no excuse. I'm just really sorry," He rambles.

I look at him and bite my lip to stop me from crying.

" You didn't mean any of it," I ask with my voice cracking.

He shakes his head, " I didn't, I swear I didn't. I still- I still wanna be with you," he says.

" You really hurt me, Peter. I was taken and gone for three weeks. Being tortured, tased, and stabbed. By my own father. And you weren't here," I sigh shakily while looking down.

" I know...I know shit. Wands if I could go back and change it all I would. I really wish I could. You didn't deserve any of that. I wish I would have known-," He starts to say before I cut him off.

" You would have known if you would have been there. But you weren't... because you left me," I mutter.

He goes silent and looks down, I can see the tears falling down his cheeks. My heart tightens, I can't be with him. I can't risk him hurting me again, I can't hurt him. What Magneto did has taken a toll on me, and I can't hurt Peter with my stuff.

" I'm so sorry...Wanda I- I care about you. I do. I want us to try again. I don't wanna give up on us," He frowns.

" We're done Peter...there's nothing there for our relationship anymore. It's over. I don't want to try again," I lie as I look at his brown eyes.

My lip quivers and more tears fall down his face. He nods and stands up.

" I'm sorry," He chokes out before turning to leave.

I don't know what makes me do this, but I stand up too.

" Peter," I speak a little louder than we were talking before.

He turns around and he is halfway to my bedroom door. But it is still closed. I walk over to him and tears stream down my cheeks. But I can't help the feeling that I need to kiss him. So I do. I softly kiss him and he closes his eyes. I pull away after a second and we look at each other. His eyes study my face to try and read what I'm thinking. And I don't even know what I'm thinking. All I know is that I want him, I need him. I missed his lips, his body, him. And while I can't get back together with him. Not for a while at least. I need to kiss him. And I can tell he needs the same. He smashes his lips against mine in a hungry and passionate kiss. I wrap my arms around his neck and he wraps his arms around my waist. He picks me up and I wrap my legs around his torso. He pushes me against the wall and our tongues fight for dominance. One of his hands moves up to my hair and the other stays put on my back.

" Wanda...what are we doing," He says in between kisses.

" I don't know," I reply as he starts kissing down my neck.

The burns and cuts are gone now. Nothing but a few scars here and there. Peter pulls away and looks at me.

" Do you want to stop," He asks me.

We probably should, normally when people are breaking up and not planning on getting back together, they don't have sex. But then again, when have we ever done anything normally?

" No, do you," I respond breathlessly.

His eyes roam over my face and he shakes his head, " No."

I sloppily kiss him with nothing but passion and need in the kiss. He kisses me back the same way and he starts walking toward the bed. He lays me down and I quickly take his shirt off and throw it on the floor. Peter slides his hands under my shirt and they land on my bra. I whimper and arch my back, Peter starts massaging my breasts as he kisses me. He pulls away and rips my shirt off, literally. I'm a little shocked but it just makes me want him more. He starts kissing my cleavage and I put my hands on the back of his head and push him closer.

" Oh god," I whisper as I throw my head back.

He pulls away and I cup his cheeks, pushing our lips together again. I move my hips up and grind against him. He groans against my lips and pushes me further up the bed. I spread my legs a little then Peter pulls away. He looks down and starts to pull down his sweatpants. He kicks them off and I take my shorts off also. Peter takes off my panties then his boxers go right after.

" Are you sure, Wanda," He mumbles against my neck as he leaves open-mouthed kisses.

" Please," I whine while kissing him again.

I feel him push into me and I gasp. I let out a soft moan and arch my back. He starts moving and I wrap my arms around his neck. I moan as he starts moving faster.

" Shi- Peter," I cry out, I take my arms off of him and clench the sheets.

He groans into my neck and I whimper. He thrusts quicker and I place my arms around my neck once again. We both reach our highs at the same time and we breathe heavily. He pulls out and falls onto the bed next to me. I stare at the ceiling and we sit in silence.

" I should...I'm gonna go," Peter says quietly.

I cover myself with the blanket and I sit up. Peter puts his clothes on and starts to walk to the door.

" I'll see you around Wanda," He sighs as he leaves the room.

He closes the door and I look down. That shouldn't happen again, it can't happen again. I still love him but I need to get over him. He wants to get back together but I just can't. Not for a while at least.

Chapter Text

" Mom it's me," I speak as I knock on the door.

Today's Tony and Pepper's wedding day. I'm so happy for them, I'm excited. Pepper asked me to walk with her down the aisle and then go to her side afterward. Pepper's bridesmaids are Me, Natasha, and Maria Hill. Tony decided to have Rhodey, Cap, and Peter as his groomsmen.

" Come in honey," I hear Pepper reply from inside the room.

I walk in and close the door behind me. Pepper is ready and she's looking at herself in the mirror. The. wedding starts in 10 minutes and I can tell she is nervous.

" You look pretty," I grin as I go to hug her. She turns and looks at me, a smile on her face. Her smile widens when she actually sees me.

Pepper's color for the bridesmaid dresses is dark red. They wanted to put an Iron Man joke in there. My dress has semi-thick straps and at the top down to my waist it's skin tight so it makes my breasts look similar to the way they do when I'm wearing my corset. Then after the waist part, it loosens and just flows downwards. My brown hair is down and straightened for once.

" Oh Wanda, you look beautiful," She says while hugging me.

" Thank you, are you ready," I ask with encouragement in my voice.

She nods and we walk out of the room and out to the yard of the Avengers Tower where the wedding is being held. Tony is standing under the wedding arch that is decorated with multiple different colored flowers. His groomsmen standing a little behind him. Peter's suit is black with a dark red tie. He looks so handsome. We haven't talked about what happened between us. It was two weeks ago. We've talked, just a little, but not about that. Natasha and Maria are standing on the right side also, looking at Pepper with smiles on their faces. The music starts and we start walking. I use my magic to gently spread flower petals on the floor as we walk. They insisted that I do that, and I gave in. Even though I was nervous about losing control. I've been working with Stephen for a little over a week and it's definitely been helping. We get to the end and Tony is smiling widely. I walk up to him and hug him, he kisses my hair before I walk to my spot. After the beautiful vows and the " I do's" my parents are married. Everyone stands up and claps, so many people are here. I can't wipe the smile off of my face.

As Tony and Pepper walk back up the aisle together my eyes land on Peter. He's still standing by Cap and Rhodes. He was already looking at me before I looked at him. So our eyes met immediately. He smiles and his eyes look over me. My body but also just me, I can tell the difference when it comes to him. Nat grabs my arm and we start walking to the Avengers Tower. The reception is going to be on the floor where the parties are usually held. Once Nat and I get further away from Peter she elbows me as we continue walking.

" What was that? Did you guys finally talk? Are you guys back together," she teases me.

I sigh and shake my head, " No, no we aren't together. We talked two weeks ago though. I'm sorry I didn't tell you."

We're in the elevator now and she looks at me.

" How did it go? Talking? What did you two talk about," She says.

" We aren't getting back together. He wanted to. He apologized and told me he wanted to try again. That he still cared about me. But I just...I can't right now. He hurt me and I can't do that again. But also, after everything Erik did, I don't want to hurt him. My powers haven't been stable since then," I tell her.

She nods in understanding, " So that was it? You two just left it at that?"

I look down and bite my lip, not saying anything. Should I tell her? I mean I tell Natasha everything pretty much. But I didn't tell her Peter and I have had sex before.

" Oh my god, Wanda Maximoff. You guys had break-up sex," She whisper-yells.

My eyes widen and I look at her. " Shut up! Yes! Well, actually we were already broken up before so it wasn't necessarily break-up sex. But yeah," I reply.

She smirks and we walk out of the elevator. Almost everyone is at the wedding reception now. Everyone is talking to someone, drinking, socializing. I'm sure Tony and Pepper don't know some of these people. I spot Shuri by T'Challa and I smile.

" I'll be back, I'm going to say hi to Shuri," I tell Nat before rushing over to my friend.

I hug her and take her by surprise. She gasps and looks at me.

" Hey, girl!! Damn, you look good," She exclaims with a smile.

I giggle and shake my head, " Thank you. I missed you. How are you?"

" I'm great! My brother has been on my ass about keeping up with school," She says playfully while glancing behind her at T'Challa.

" Maybe you should listen to me. Anyways, hi Ms. Maximoff," The king greets politely.

I say hi back to him then Shuri and I start talking. She brings up Magneto and I sigh before looking away for a second. Then my eyes land on Peter, he's talking to Thor. He must have felt my eyes on his because he looks in my direction and our eyes meet. I quickly look back at Shuri and fake smile.

" Do you think anyone would mind if I had alcohol," I ask hesitantly.

She raises her eyebrows and looks around, " I doubt anyone would notice if you had a little. I'm going to go find my brother again. Be safe."

———————————————————————

I don't know what I was thinking. It started with a little bit of tequila, then some more, then other beverages. And now I'm drunk and leaning against the counter giggling with Sam and Thor. They're the only ones that know that I drank anything. Sam sat here with me and Thor told me to try whatever drink he gave me. I don't even remember.

" Shhh! Shut up, Wendy! If Stark finds out we let you
get drunk he's gonna kill us," Sam laughs while leaning against me.

" O- Okay! Okay, I'll shhh! Oh look it's Peter," I gasp as I see the boy I love stumbling over to us.

Clint is right next to him, making sure he doesn't trip. He's definitely drunk too.

" Who the hell got Peter drunk," Clint exclaims to Sam and Thor.

Peter and I stare at each other and I smirk. He gives me the same look back and he glances at my cleavage. Sam and Thor both hesitantly raise their hands and look at each other. Someone clears their throat from behind Clint, Strange walks up to us also.

" Yeah that might've been me too," He chuckles as he pats Clint on the shoulder.

I gasp and jump out of my seat, almost tripping as I shove myself into Stephen's arms. I hug him and giggle.

" Hi, Strange! I- Missed you," I hiccup with a grin on my face.

" I didn't do this part though," Strange says nervously as he pats my back.

" Wanda? Seriously you two? Tony's not gonna be happy with you guys," Clint says in annoyance.

" What's Tony not going to be happy about," the voice of my dad speaks as he walks up to our little group.

Pepper and Natasha are both by him, Pepper is holding hands with him. I don't know what comes over me but I suddenly feel like crying. I burst into tears and leap into Tony's arms. I would have fallen on my face if my dad wouldn't have caught me. I sob into his shoulder and I feel his hand stroke my hair.

" Hey, kid what's going on," He asks worryingly.

" I'm so happy for you both! I want to get married," I cry loudly.

Tony pulls me away from his shoulder and cups my face. He wipes my tears with his thumb and his eyebrows furrow.

" What the- Wanda? Are you drunk?! Is she drunk," Tony exclaims.

I stop crying and let out uncontrollable giggles. I stumble back to my seat and start drinking the beverage in my cup. But then Tony takes it from me carefully and smells it.

" Okay who let my kid get drunk," He sighs with annoyance.

Sam and Thor look around nervously, avoiding eye contact with my dad.

Peter walks over to me and sits down next to me. I look up at him and bite my lip. He looks so hot right now. He smiles down at me and as he's about to lean down and kiss me, Pepper steps in.

" Okay! Wanda, sweetie let's get you to your room. We can get you out of that dress and some water to sober you up," my mom says softly as she takes my hand and helps me up.

" Waitttt don't go without me," Peter whines from his place on the chair.

" Nope, you're going to your room kiddo. Bird boy, Goldilocks, you guys got him since you got him drunk," Tony speaks as he follows Pepper and me to my room.

I continue almost tripping over my feet every time I walk. We get to my room and immediately I fall onto my bed. I giggle and look up at the ceiling.

" C'mon honey, let's get you changed into something comfier," Pepper smiles softly.

I throw my head back and whine, " Nooo. I don't want to! I like this dress!"

Pepper laughs a little and looks at Tony. " Alright Wands. We're gonna go back out to the party. Just get some rest, We'll be back to check on you once everyone leaves," Tony says with a small chuckle.

They leave the room and shift so I am lying upside down off of my bed. I hum and my mind trails off to Peter. He looked good tonight, really good. I giggle and stand up wobbly, I stumble to the door and open it slowly. I look around to make sure no one is coming. Closing my door quietly, I start walking carefully toward Peter's room. My heels and dress are still on. I lean against the door and let out a hiccup, then I knock.

" Come in," Peter says from inside the room.

I open the door and smile when I see Peter, still in his suit but his shoes are off. He's sitting on his bed drinking something out of a cup. His eyes meet mine and he smiles. I giggle and close the door behind me.

" You look pretty," I slur as I walk over to him.

He stands up and hiccups, he hands me the cup and I take it. I down the rest of the drink in there, it tasted like strawberries. It was definitely some sort of alcohol mixed with something.

" You look hot," He slurs also, stepping closer to me.

" And pretty, and be-beautiful," He says seductively.

I grab his tie and pull him closer to me. He smashes his lips against mine and his hands land on my butt. I giggle and our tongues start fighting for dominance. Peter picks me up and I wrap my arms and legs around him. He pushes me against the wall while trying to stay stable. My dress has started to ride up and it's up to my thighs now. Peter's blazer is on the floor by now as he kisses me sloppily and hungrily. I lock the bedroom door with one hand as the other runs through his hair. I pull away and place hungry kisses down his jaw and neck. Purposely making marks. He groans and pushes my face away from his neck and tilts my head up so he can get better access to my neck. Then he starts roughly kissing and sucking at my neck, making more hickeys than I did on him.

" Peter," I whine before tightening my legs around him.

I unbutton his dress shirt and he keeps the shirt on as we walk to the bed. He lays me down and takes off his shirt. I reach behind me and unzip my dress, he watches me with half-lidded eyes. I slide my dress down my body and it reveals my breasts and my black lace underwear. He smirks and pushes down his pants so he's only in his underwear. He slides my panties down my legs and I giggle. Then he flips me over so I am on my stomach, Peter almost falling over as he does so. I press my face into the pillow and giggle. He touches my hair and presses sloppy kisses on my shoulders.

" Baby,” He mumbles against my skin, and I grin.

“ Please,” I whimper then flip us around quickly.

I climb on top of Peter and bite my lip, I trace my fingers down his chest. He groans and flips us over once again. He kisses my breasts and takes off his underwear as he does so. I wrap my arms around his neck and kiss him seductively. I feel him enter me and I moan loudly into his mouth. I spread my legs as he kisses me passionately. Peter starts moving quickly and we both let out moans and groans as he thrusts.

“ More, please Pete,” I cry out.

He thrusts harder and groans into my neck. I tilt my head back as he makes more hickeys on my neck. I feel myself coming to my high and I scratch Peter’s back. I’m definitely making marks on his back, but he likes it. I can tell by the way he moans and thrusts faster. We finish at the same time and I breathe heavily. He hovers over me and I stare into his brown eyes. The music from the party is heard in the room, no one out there would have been able to hear us. Peter plops down next to me and looks over at me.

“ You wanna stay here,” He slurs with a crooked smile.

I giggle and slide on Peter’s dress shirt he had on. I button it up and then lay my head on his chest. He wraps his arms around me and laughs.

“ Mmh…yes I do. You’re warm,” I whisper while closing my eyes.

Chapter Text

I feel myself waking up to warmth, my head hurts a lot. Where am I? I feel arms around me and that's when my eyes shoot open. My head is lying on someone's chest. I sit up and look over, Peter is lying right next to me. He's fully naked, and I'm almost fully naked aside from Peter's button-down shirt loosely on me. All of the memories from last night come rushing to my head. I slept with him, again.

" Shit," I say under my breath as I quickly get out of the bed.

I unbutton the dress shirt as I walk around the room, trying to find my dress from last night. Peter sits up and yawns. He looks around and his eyes land on me. He has hickeys on his neck, shoulders, and down his chest. I stop in my tracks and look at him hesitantly. He stays silent and frowns, then I go back to finding my dress. Peter stands up and slides his boxers on, and a pair of shorts. I take off the shirt I had on and grab my dress from the floor. I slide it on and look into the mirror in the room. I gasp and look at Peter. There are tons of dark purple hickeys scattered all over my neck, jaw, and shoulders, I know there are some below there too. How am I going to cover these up?

" Wanda," Peter says quietly.

I look over at him and sigh shakily, " I'm sorry...that- last night was a mistake. It shouldn't have happened."

Peter frowns and I start to avoid eye contact.

" No...no Wanda, it's happened twice since we broke up. It's not a mistake. You said you didn't want to get back together-," Peter starts to say.

" I don't...I can't. This can't happen again, Peter. We can't be together," I say shakily, my voice quivering.

" But...Wanda, you want me. I want you. We can be together, I- I know I hurt you but I promise I would never do something like that again," He cries.

" Just stop. It's not just because of that, Peter. Yes, you hurt me and I can't go through that again. But not only that I don't want to hurt you! Magneto really messed with me, and I'm not stable enough right now. My powers aren't stable enough. So no, I can't be with you," I say frantically.

Peter stays silent and I start to walk toward the door again. I wish I could be with Peter again. But I can't. I'm not good for him, he's too good for me.

" What if we didn't get back together," he says suddenly.

I stop and look at him, " We aren't. What do you mean?"

He looks like he's debating on saying something in his head. But finally, he looks at me with determination.

" I want to be with you, but if that's not what you want right now we won't get back together. But we could just do this...whenever we want," He suggests as he motions between us.

I furrow my eyebrows and then realize what he means. Only have sex together? But not date again? I didn't think of that. I didn't think Peter would ever have suggested that.

" You mean...we only have sex," I ask hesitantly.

He nods and I bite my lip, I look down.

" I don't know-," I sigh shakily.

" I want you, Wanda. In whatever way you'll let me, I want you. And if that means just having sex for a while, then I'm fine with that," He tells me.

I'm not opposed to the idea. But I don't know if that's a good idea for him. But maybe it's what we need. I want to have sex with him, but I can't date him. So if he wants this, then why not?

" Okay...okay we can do that," I nod finally.

I smile a little and he does too, then there is a knock on Peter's door. My eyes widen and Peter looks around. I toss him his dress shirt and he puts it on. I zip up my dress. Peter opens the door and I stay out of sight.

" Hey Pete, have you seen Wanda," I hear the voice of Natasha speak.

Peter shakes his head, " Uh...no. I haven't seen her," He says nervously.

" She's not in here still after last night," I hear the smirk in her voice.

Peter and I freeze and I curse under my breath. Natasha of all people would know everything, I mean I would have told her anyway but I didn't know she would have found out this early. I just don't know how I'm going to hide the fact that Peter and I did that from everyone else. The hickeys are the problem, they aren't just where a shirt can cover. They are all over my neck also. And I'm sure she can see the hickeys I made or his neck also.

" What- Um...N-No," He stutters.

She chuckles, " Okay...well if you see her tell her I'm looking for her."

Peter closes the door and looks at me. I laugh a little and pick up my shoes. He watches me as I walk to the door. I look up at him before I open the door. He smiles a little and I put my hand on his chest.

" I'll see you later, Peter," I say softly before I leave the room.

He closes the door behind me and I start walking to my room. I get to my own door and as I am about to open it I hear the voice of Natasha.

" God damn! Is Peter a vacuum cleaner or something," She exclaims.

I look over and she's leaning against the wall. My eyes widen and I look around to make sure no one heard that. I grab her and pull her into my room before closing the door.

" Are they really that bad?! Could you help me cover it up," I say frantically.

" Red those are way too dark to cover up with foundation or concealer or anything. They'll just show anyway. You have a turtleneck or anything," She laughs.

" No...I guess I'll just get through it. It's not like they didn't know I was in his room last night," I sigh.

——————————————————————

" Hey get off my ass Maxi! Can't you just let me win," Sam yells as he shoves me playfully.

I giggle and move my hands on the controller. We're playing Mario Kart and I'm right behind Sam. He throws a turtle shell and I gasp. He wins the game and I roll my eyes with a fake pout.

" I let you win," I mumble and Sam teases me.

" Oh sure you did," He snickers and ruffles my hair.

I hear someone clear their throat and we both turn around. Strange is standing there with a golden portal behind him. I stand up and smile.

" Oh hi Strange," I greet kindly.

I've grown closer to Stephen as I've gotten to know him more. He acts like he's all tough but really I see the smiles he shows when he's proud of my progress. Or the small laughs he gives at my jokes. I know he has a soft spot for me.

" Hey Maximoff, are you ready to train," He asks.

I nod and he motions his head toward the portal. I haven't trained with him anywhere other than the tower. But I follow him anyway through the portal. We are now in a field of all kinds of flowers. It's beautiful. Most of the flowers are dandelions and sunflowers. But there are others too. I grin and look around.

" This is where we're going to be training today. It's a nice calm and peaceful place," He states.

I nod and he floats in the air with the help of his cloak. He is sitting crisscrossed as he floats.

" Can you do this," He questions patiently.

I shake my head with wide eyes and he chuckles a little.

" Yes, you can, just start by sitting on the ground. Then focus your mind and magic on your body. And lifting your body up," He tells me.

I sigh and do as he says. I close my eyes once I'm on the ground. After a few seconds, I feel myself no longer touching the floor. I open my eyes and my scarlet magic is flowing around me and I'm floating above the ground at the same height as Stephen.

" Good job," He says with that proud look on his face.

But he quickly tries to hide it. I smile and look down at my magic.

" So today, I wanted to see something so I can know your powers better. I've never seen your powers react to your strong emotions. So I wanted to talk about the things that make you feel the strongest if that's okay," He tells me.

My smile fades a little and I sigh shakily before nodding.

" So we're gonna go through three emotions and situations or people that cause them and see how your magic reacts," He explains.

" Okay...but what if I hurt you? Or do something-," I start to say nervously but he interrupts me.

" That's why we're here. There's no one but us around. This place is peaceful and empty. And if your magic destroys, it can also create and fix. So let's just see alright," He assures me.

" Okay...so what do I do," I sigh.

" I want you to close your eyes and think of something that has happened to you that made you sad. A specific moment or time. And I want you to describe it to me," He says.

I close my eyes and take a deep breath. There are so many things in my life that have made me sad. Hurt. I've cried countless amount of times in my lifetime. I've lost so much. But what has hurt the most so far has been losing Pietro. Everything else hurt like hell, Peter breaking up with me. My mama dying. But losing Pietro was the worst.

" Um...well I guess when I lost Pietro it hurt the most out of everything I've been through. I remember the last thing I said was to go. Because he wanted to stay and protect the thing holding Sokovia together. But I told him to go, so he could go save people. But then I felt a bunch of uncomfortable pains all over my body. And I knew something was wrong. Pietro was my twin brother. S-So we were always together. And when I got my powers I developed a mind connection and link between us. It wasn't on purpose, but I couldn't do it with anyone else. And I still can't. So when he died, I knew immediately. I felt him die, literally. I felt his mind leave mine, and it was terrible. It was the worst feeling I'd ever felt before," I say as I start to cry.

I feel myself losing control of my magic. I'm still floating in the air. But I can feel a cold breeze of wind that I know is probably my powers.

" And when I saw his body it was like it was all over then. My twin brother really was dead, I was alone. He was all I had left at the time, he was my best friend. But he was gone. And I couldn't stop crying. I got to the Avengers Tower and stayed in my room for days. Weeks. I wanted to be with my brother. I wanted to die with him, to be at rest with him. But I knew he wouldn't have wanted that," I sob.

All of the flowers look like they are dead now. The wind has fully stopped and it's like everything around us is frozen. The water is no longer moving either.

" It's okay, let's move on to the next emotion. Is that alright," He asks me.

I nod and wipe the tears from my face as the air stays cold and everything stays still.

" Now I want you to think of something that made you angry. Something that happened or that someone did to hurt you and you were mad about it," He tells me.

I gulp and look down before closing my eyes.

" When Pietro and I were 10, after the bombings we didn't know where to go. So we walked around Sokovia, sleeping on the streets, and scrounging for food, water, and clothes. We tried to look for Erik, but he was nowhere to be found. One day, we saw a news station on a TV. It was talking about Erik Lehnsherr. And how he had powers and started using them for bad. Pietro had dragged me away from the TV, he was extremely angry. Two days after that we got kidnapped by HYDRA. And our father knew about it. HYDRA had done so many things to us. And Erik never came to help us," I speak while clenching my fists.

The wind has started again but it's a lot harsher. I still have my eyes closed but I can feel my power getting out of control due to the anger I feel towards Erik Lehnsherr. What he's done to me and Pietro.

" He knew how long we were there for, he knew what they were doing to us, he knew that Mama had died. Yet he just stayed where he was. He didn't care. And when Pietro...he didn't come to see me. He didn't come to see Pietro's body. Nothing at all. I never wanted to see him again but I also wanted to hurt him. Then he took me and the way he looked and talked to me. He didn't care. He didn't fucking care at all. About me, about Pietro, about my mother, about anyone but himself," I say angrily.

I hear thunder roar in the air and the wind is still harsh. My magic stings the air, stings me.

" Okay...Wanda, it's okay. Calm down. Open your eyes," Stephen speaks.

" He tried to kill me, and all he cared about was himself. He didn't care whether I died! All he wanted was my power. He never cared about us! No child should ever have to have a father like him," I exclaim.

" Wanda," Strange shouts then I finally open my eyes. The wind is aggressively blowing around the pedals and leaves that were on the ground. It is practically a tornado around us. Thunder and red lightning are lighting up the sky. All of the beautiful flowers that were on the ground are now dead and black. My magic is flowing around us still but it's angry. I can tell by the way it's a darker red. I can't control it, it's not working. Every time I try to pull my magic in it stings me.

" Take a deep breath, Wanda. Don't let your magic control you, you have to control it. Okay? Calm it down. You're in charge," He says softly.

I look at him and then take a deep breath as he says to. Don't let it control me...I control it. I twist my fingers and bring my power back into my body. The wind and everything else stops. However, all of the flowers are still dead.

" I don't know if I can do the last one Strange," I whimper.

" You can. It's the best one. I saved it for last in case this happened. The last emotion is happiness. You said your dad never cared. So think about the people that do, certain people. Thinking about that might just calm everything down," He assures me.

Tears fall down my cheeks and I nod, " Okay...I-I don't know."

" Think about the times when you were at your worst. Then think about the times when you were the opposite. Who makes you feel safe and happy, "Strange suggests.

I close my eyes and a small smile forms on my face.

" There was a time when I was in bed for days. Crying. It was the mark of one year after my brother's death. All of the Avengers were there for me. They helped me through it. And when I finally got up again. They were still there. Tony, Pepper, Sam, Clint...and Peter. They spent days cheering me up and making me feel happy and comfortable again. Tony and Pepper would let me take naps in their room, Sam would make me laugh, Clint would bring me food when I was too tired or down, and Peter would spend every minute with me that he could,” I say smiling a little more.

“ Tell me more about them. Who makes you the happiest,” He asks me.

“ I don’t think there’s just one person who does. They all do. They all make me the happiest. Being with them, the Avengers, makes me feel safe. I feel like I’m cared for and protected. And I know I am. They would never hurt me, and they would never let someone hurt me. They all love me as much as I love them. And Peter…even though we aren’t together anymore I still…I still care about him as much as the rest of the Avengers if not more. I know he still cares about me, he’s told me. And even while we’re not dating, I know he wants to protect me and would never hurt me,” I speak.

I feel warm now, not a bad warm. Like a comforting warm, on the inside. I open my eyes and Stephen is smiling as he looks around. My magic is still flowing around, but it’s calmer. The flowers have magically bloomed all over again and the field is covered in them. The sun is out and everything is back to being peaceful. I sigh in relief and look up at the sky.

“ Your magic is different from anything in this world. It’s not like mine, or any of the other sorcerers. But in a way it’s similar. You can only control it if you know how to. If you know that you’re stronger than the power itself. If you believe that you’re in control, then you will be. I’m going to help you with that still, but you need to meet me halfway kid,” He explains to me.

I nod and he pats my shoulder.

Chapter Text

Strange opened a portal to the Avengers tower and now I'm walking through the halls of the tower. I don't want to be alone. But I'm so tired. Reliving those points in my life hurt, very badly. I feel so many emotions and I don't know what to do with them. Before I realize what I'm doing, I find myself knocking at Peter's bedroom door. Seconds later the door opens and Peter is standing there. He's wearing a light gray shirt and black sweatpants.

" Wanda...are you okay," He asks softly.

I don't answer and just look down to try and hide the tears coming to my eyes. I don't even know why I'm here, with him. Why did I even come to him?

" Come on," He mutters as he moves so I can come into his room.

I walk in and he shuts the door behind me. I turn to him and he looks at me with a look of worry on his face. My lip starts to quiver and he steps forward and cups my cheeks.

" Hey, hey, hey. What's going on," He says softly.

I push myself into his arms and let out loud sobs against his chest. He wraps his arms around me as my knees give out on me. He sinks to the floor and holds me close to him. He strokes my hair and whispers soft words to me.

" It's okay, I'm here. It's okay," He tells me.

" I can't control my powers. I'm going to ruin everything. I'm going to hurt someone. And I can't stop it. I can't control it, Peter. I can't, I can't, I can't," I cry loudly.

He shakes his head and places a soft kiss on my hair.

" You aren't gonna ruin anything baby, it's okay. It's gonna be okay. You'll figure it out, you'll be able to control them again. I know it. Everything is gonna be alright," He whispers.

I sigh shakily and close my eyes, letting the tears fall from my eyes. The familiar warmth from the boy that I love starts to calm me. He called me baby, like he used to. But I don't care, we aren't together. But I don't care right now, he's here comforting me and that's all I'm focused on.

" Thank you," I mumble against his shirt.

————————————————————————

I can't sleep. At all. I didn't have a nightmare because I wasn't even able to close my eyes. Afraid that I would lose control due to a nightmare or something. I'm lying in my bed looking at the ceiling. Maybe I should go see if Tony is awake. I stand up and start walking toward the kitchen. Once I get there I see that Tony isn't awake. So I sigh and grab a mug. I make myself some hot chocolate and sit at the table taking sips of it every now and then. I look down at my hand and stare at it. That's the place my magic comes out of most of the time. I use my other hand to trace my palm. I carefully bring out my magic and it stays in my hands. I gently twist the scarlet color between my fingers. Admiring the color. Sometimes I truly don't know how to feel about my powers. They can be so beautiful, so helpful. It is my favorite color after all. But it's so dangerous, people have been hurt because of me.

" Hey kiddo, can't sleep," I hear a familiar voice ask.

I look up knowingly and my eyes meet my dad's.

" As usual," I say with a small laugh, but I'm not joking.

Ever since the Avengers rescued me from Erik, I haven't slept well. I'll sleep a little bit, with some scattered naps throughout the day. But I think I might have slept a full night three times since then. Tony sits on the couch and pats the spot next to him. I finish my hot chocolate and then walk over to him. I sit next to him and he looks at me.

" Are you okay? You seem quieter," he asks me.

I nod and smile weakly, " I'm fine...just thinking."

" About what," He questions while putting his arm over my shoulder.

" My powers, and training with Strange has made me realize how dangerous I am. I don't know the extent of them, or what I can do. And it's terrifying because I don't want to hurt anyone," I sigh shakily.

Tony looks at me and frowns. He pulls me into his embrace and hugs me tightly.

" Your powers are definitely different kid. You're strong, you're powerful, you're smart, you're caring. But you're not dangerous honey. Well, we all can be, that's the point of being Earth's mightiest heroes. But none of us would ever intentionally do something to cause harm to anyone innocent. Especially you. You're one of the kindest out of all of us kiddo," my dad tells me.

I smile and tighten my hug around him.

" I love you, Dad," I whisper with a yawn following after.

" I love you too witchy," He says softly.

———————————————————————

Peter and I sit on the edge of a building, Peter's in his suit. We're looking out into the streets. Everything is peaceful today. There haven't been many crimes lately, that's good. We're just patrolling right now, there's nothing else to do anyway. Tony's been focusing on making a new suit. I think it's for him but he won't let me see it at all. So I'm not sure what it is exactly. Thor has gone who knows where again. Banner has been gone for quite a while too, no one knows where he is either. He's been gone way longer than Thor though.

" Wanda," I hear Peter's voice speak.

I look over at him and he is already looking at me. He has his mask on so I can't see his eyes but I know he's looking at me. I decided not to wear my suit today and just go in one of my normal black dresses. If I needed to change I could easily do so with my powers.

" Yes," I reply with a small smile.

Peter and I talk now. After we agreed on our current relationship, and me sobbing to him. We talk a lot. We've had sex quite a few times also since then.

" It's a little boring out here don't you think," Peter says slyly.

I feel a twinge in my stomach and I smile. I know exactly what he is implying, and I'm not opposed to it.

" I think it is too, maybe we should go entertain each other Spidey," I smirk.

He chuckles and next I know we are in an alleyway and I am up against the wall. Peter's mask is pulled up above his mouth so I can kiss him. I have red lipstick on so it's getting on his lips, but he definitely doesn't mind. Peter shoves his tongue in my mouth and I whine a little into the kiss. I give up dominance and Peter takes control. He starts kissing down my jaw and neck. Nibbling on some spots.

" Peter...are we going to do this here," I say breathlessly.

" You can make us invisible. I want you Wands," He mumbles.

I do as he suggested and make us invisible. Because I want him just as much, I need him. I pull off his mask and shove it into the pocket of my jacket. My lipstick is definitely smeared on my lips. Peter pulls back and looks at me, his eyes filled with lust. Suddenly he lifts me by my butt and pushes me more against the brick wall. I wrap my legs around Peter's torso and my arms go around his neck. I continue kissing Peter, leaving a trail of kiss marks down his neck with my lipstick.

" Mmh, how are you going to do this," I ask in between kisses.

He presses on his suit and it loosens. But this time only around his waits. The new suit Tony made him once again works for us. Tony made him an Iron Spiderman suit. But the top half and the bottom half separated, so he moves down the bottom half just enough to where I can see his erection rubbing against his boxers. I whimper and the boy in front of me runs his hands under my dress and to my panties. He cups his hand over my clothed entrance to feel how soaked I am. He groans and slips his hand under the fabric and he rubs me in a circle a few times. I bite my lip to stop me from making any noise.

" Peter...Please. I need you," I beg into his neck

Peter pulls back and looks down. He pulls down his boxers just enough for his erection to spring out. He shifts his hands so his grip around me is tighter. He moves my underwear to the side and then enters me quickly. He goes deeper than ever at this angle and it feels amazing. I gasp and tighten my legs around his waist. He groans and his head falls against my breasts.

“ Is this okay,” He mumbles almost sounding out of breath.

I nod frantically, not trusting myself to speak at all.

He starts thrusting his hips and I have put one of my hands over my mouth to stop me from just screaming out. I need to touch something or I’m going to go crazy. So one of my hands lands on my boob and the other goes into Peter’s hair. As I’m massaging my breast Peter leans down and starts kissing the cleavage. He starts to thrust harder and I arch my back against the wall.

“ Oh god, oh god don’t stop Peter,” I whimper against his neck.

He kisses me passionately and he squeezes my butt. Not in a painful way but it’s a little rough, in a good way. I buck my hips towards him to create more friction and he lets out a whine.

“ I won’t, never. You feel amazing Wands,” He mutters against my breasts.

After a moment I feel the familiar tightening in my stomach. I tug on his hair and close my eyes.

“ Shit, hold it a little longer,” He groans as he goes faster.

“ Please, please. Oh Pete,” I moan softly.

Then his fingers dig into my hips and he does one last hard thrust before releasing into me. I gasp and let go at the same time. We both breathe heavily and Peter pulls out of me. My legs are wobbly, I can’t stand good without leaning against the wall right now. We fix our clothes and we look the same as before now. Peter doesn’t have his mask back on yet since I haven’t made up visible again. That’s when my eyes widen and I look at Peter. He looks at me and his eyebrows furrow.

“ What? Are you okay,” he asks with concern. He probably thinks he hurt me by accident. Which he didn’t.

“ I didn’t lose control,” I gasp with a smile forming on my face.

He still looks confused but then he looks up in realization.

“ I didn’t lose control of my magic! Everything was fine! I did it,” I exclaim happily.

Peter grins and I hug him tightly. I pull away, still smiling. Peter looks down at me, a very familiar look in his eyes. Love. It’s the way he used to look at me. We stare at each other for a minute but then I look away and sigh. He puts his mask back on and I make us visible again.

STEPHEN STRANGE
*************************

I walk down the stairs in the sanctorum alongside Wong.

“ Seriously, you don’t have any money,” I say with annoyance as I walk.

“ Attachment to the material is detachment from the spiritual,” He replies as he walks behind me.

I roll my eyes playfully and laugh a little, “ I’ll tell the guys at the deli maybe they’ll make you a metaphysical ham sandwich.”

“ Wait, wait, wait. I think I have two hundred,” He says as he stops on the stairs.

I turn around and look at him in confusion, “ What dollars?”

“Whoopi’s,” He smiles innocently.

“ Which is,” I chuckle before turning back around and walking down the stairs fully.

Suddenly something breaks through the roof and shatters the glass at the top. And something huge falls into the stairs, destroying them. But we can’t see what it is because it’s covered by a rainbow-colored light. Is that the Bifrost? Once the light goes away I use my magic to change into my outfit and my cloak comes flying over to rest of my shoulders. Wong and I run up to the big gaping hole in the stairs. We look into it and see the Hulk, well actually he’s transforming back into Bruce Banner. Bruce breathes heavily and looks around in shock.

“ Th-Thanos is coming…he’s coming,” He gasps out.

Wong and I look at each other with confusion. I look back at him and tilt my head, “ Who?,” I reply.

Chapter Text

All of us Avengers are sitting in the meeting room at the table. Banner is here now, and so is Strange and Wong, and Nick Fury should be on his way. Apparently, someone named Thanos is coming to Earth.

" What does he want," Tony asks.

" The infinity stones. All of them," Banner speaks.

Everyone looks at each other in confusion except for me. I feel some kind of warning with my powers, it burns under my skin a little when he says that.

" Why? They're just stones," Sam says in confusion.

" No they aren't, all of them could wipe out half of existence," Strange says.

Wong steps forward and uses his powers to make an illusion of the stones in the air.

" There are six stones. Space, Reality, Power, Soul, Time, and Mind. Each of them holds a special place in our universe," Wong speaks.

" Thanos already has the Power stone, and he got the space stone from Loki. Thor and Loki are gone, I was the only one on that ship to make it out alive," Bruce speaks.

" Well, we have the mind stone here, in the scepter. The scepter is secured. We don't know where the rest of the stones are," Tony tells everyone.

" I have the time stone here," Stephen speaks while motioning to the amulet around his neck. It lights up green and then goes away.

" Okay so let's just throw one of the stones in a dish drainer and flip the switch. Easy peasy, no more infinity stones," Tony shrugs while standing up.

" We can't just destroy an infinity stone. Something or someone really powerful would have to destroy it," Strange replies with annoyance.

Suddenly everyone looks at me and my eyes widen, " What? I can't do it," I exclaim.

" I think you could. Your powers developed from the mind stone, so you out of anyone would be able to destroy it," Strange tells me.

Peter stands up abruptly and looks out the window. His spider-sense is tingling.

" They're here. We need to go," He says frantically.

" Wanda get the scepter and destroy it outside of here. We'll hold him off," Wong states before using a portal to leave the tower.

The others that can't fly go through the portals also then Tony, Peter, Sam, and Rhodey fly out. I sigh and run to the elevator to the floor that the scepter is on. Once I get there I use my powers to break the bulletproof glass it was in and I grab it. Next, I know I am outside of the tower, trying to run as quickly as I can to get somewhat far away. I can see the other Avengers fighting three different people. I use my powers to take the glowing yellow stone out of the scepter. Then I throw the weapon to the side. But before I can do anything I feel something throw me against a tree. I gasp and look over, a man with gray skin and no nose is floating toward me. I still have the stone in my hand. I stand up and look at it, something is off about it though. I bring my magic into my palm and try to feel the stone's power. But I feel nothing. The stone is fake? Oh my god, the stone is fake.

Wait...

" Witch! Hand over the Mind stone and Thanos will spare your life," The man yells.

I look up and my heart beats rapidly. " I don't have the mind stone," I exclaim.

He uses his magic to push me up against a tree and put pressure on my throat.

" I don't have it. This is a fake. I don't know where it is," I breathe heavily.

He tilts his head and I raise my hand. I shatter it with my hand and nothing happens but the stone breaking. His eyes widen and he looks angry.

" Back to the ship, the stone is not here," He speaks before a blue light sucks him back into the ship.

I watch as the ship flies away and I sigh. That wasn't the mind stone. It was supposed to be, but it wasn't. And I know exactly what happened.

*************************
FLASHBACK
*************************

I'm in the HYDRA testing room. And the mind stone is right in front of me. The blue stone is floating close to my face. I reach out to touch it then everything turns gold. I close my eyes due to the brightness but then I open them again. I see a woman but only the shadow of her. Her arms are spread and suddenly I feel the need to do that too. The stone comes closer to me and I see a mix of yellow and red lights enter my body. The magic loses color for a second before turning blue again. And suddenly all I see is black.

****************************
FLASHBACK OVER
****************************

We are now back in the meeting room. Everyone is arguing but I just sat there quietly, looking at my hands. Fury is here now, also arguing. I should've known the whole time, it would've saved us time. Saved me time.

" Okay, okay. So if we didn't have the mind stone then where is it," Steve exclaims.

" We don't know. So that means all we have is the time stone," Strange sighs.

I keep looking down, listening but not making eye contact with anyone.

" What are we supposed to do now? We don't have anything to destroy the time stone," Natasha asks from next to me.

The arguing has stopped, and the only talking is the conversation. I can tell everyone is nervous and worried.

" I don't think there's anything we can do. Unless we magically find the mind stone," Wong states.

" Wanda? Are you okay," I hear Peter suddenly ask from the other side of me.

I look up quickly and turn to him. I look around the room and everyone is looking at me. I glance at Stephen and he gives me a look. He knows somethings up, he just doesn't know what.

" You know it's not your fault, right kiddo," my dad assures me.

I look away from Strange and run my fingers through my hair.

" Do you know where the mind stone is Wanda," He asks me sternly.

I don't answer and look down once again.

" Why would she know where it is? She thought the scepter had the stone too," Sam says defensive for me.

I nod my head as I feel my throat burn due to me almost crying. Everyone goes silent and I can feel their eyes on me.

" I didn't know at first...I swear. But once I saw that the stone didn't have power. I remembered," I say shakily.

" What? Where is it," Tony questions in confusion.

I stay silent and I feel Peter's hand on mine. I glance over and he looks worried. Tears have formed in my eyes but I push them away.

" She has it. Don't you," Wong gasps.

I look at him and stand up slowly. They need to know. Before something bad happens to me.

" Yes...I have it. But-," I start to say but then Fury interrupts me.

" Show us Maximoff," He orders but I shake my head.

" I can't! I can't show you. It's- it's not...shit," I curse as my magic burns me under my skin. Another warning, but they aren't here yet.

" Wands," Peter says hesitantly.

" I am the mind stone...I don't have it, it's inside of me," I cry out.

" What? How? I don't understand," Wong says frantically.

" The mind stone used to be in the scepter. Until I touched it to get my powers. It entered me, all of the power from inside," I explain with a deep breath.

I look around the room and everyone looks in shock.

" Wait that's a good thing! Right? That means he can't get it! There's no way to," Natasha exclaims with realization in her voice.

But I wish that were the case. I know it's not. It's not that easy. I was scared fighting Ultron, I get scared when we go on missions, but I don't think I've ever been this scared before. Because I know what's to come.

" No...he can still get it. From what I know. If someone kills me, whoever kills me gets the stone. It can't be a regular death. They have to murder me. And they get the stone. Not just the power, the stone. He's going to kill me," I explain.

Once again everyone is silent, either looking at me or at each other. " No...he's not gonna kill you, Wanda. We won't let him," Tony tells me as he stands up.

I smile and nod, letting my shoulders fall.

" Actually, I might know something that could help. We could go to Wakanda, I bet Shuri would know what to do," Cap suggests.

" That's a good idea," I reply with a nod.

———————————————————————

All of us but Fury and Wong are now in Wakanda. We're walking to Shuri's lab, T'Challa and some others are walking with us talking. Peter hasn't left my side since I told them. He's been staying close. We walk into the room and Shuri is standing there with a worried look on her face.

She hugs me tightly and I hug her back. " I'll do my best to help you, Wands. I promise," She sighs.

She pulls me over to the table and lays me on it. After a while, everyone has left the room except for Peter, who sits in a chair next to the table.

Suddenly Peter looks out the window quickly. My skin burns once again and I sit up. They're here.

" Shit...stay here Wands," Peter tells me as he turns to go help the Avengers fight.

" No! I need to help them," I say sternly.

" They're trying to get the Time Stone with Strange. They don't know about you yet Wanda," My dad tells me through the coms.

" Then I can go help. Come on," I tell the boy next to me.

Next, I know I am fighting a woman with a long weapon. She has gray skin and dark blue hair. I flip her weapon away from her and she glares at me. A bright light appears from the spaceship above us and Strange, who is unconscious starts getting lifted into the sky by the light.

" No," I call out, I run over to him with my powers in my hands but suddenly I feel myself getting sucked into the air also. All of the people we were fighting floated into the ships.

" Wanda," Peter exclaims, he shoots a web at me and it pulls him up too.

Tony is flying up toward the ship but not in the light. The inside of the ship closes so then Peter and I are hanging on to the ship. I'm higher up than him, and I'm using my powers to hold on. The ship starts going up and I look down at Peter who is trying to
climb up to me.

" What are you guys doing? You need to get down from there," I hear Steve say in the coms but it cuts out a bit.

I start to feel a little lightheaded, we're going higher and higher into the sky.

" Wanda! Hold on," Tony exclaims as he keeps flying toward the ship.

" I can't breathe...oh god," I gasp as I accidentally let go of the ship.

I feel myself falling but then I feel arms around me. Suddenly something attaches itself to my wrist and I feel it cover over my whole body. Then I can breathe again, I open my eyes and look down. Peter is holding me as he climbs up the ship to where an opening is. Tony lands right next to us also and we go in. Tony made a suit for me. It's red all over then even darker red lines in places throughout it. The eyes are a silver triangle shape on the outside but it just feels like I'm looking through my regular eyes.

Chapter Text

Peter and I are sitting against a wall by each other. Tony is walking around trying to find Strange. Mine and Peter's shoulders are touching each other just barely. I haven't really had the time to think about what's to come. Thanos has at least two infinity stones that we know of right now. He wants them all. And I'm not sure if he knows I'm the mind stone or not. Thanos is more powerful than any of us with only two infinity stones, I can't imagine what he could do with all 6. I sigh and fiddle with a strand of my hair.

" What are you thinking about Wands," Peter asks.

I look up at him, my eyes meet his beautiful brown ones. If I die, I want him to know how much I care about him. And it hurts my heart to know that if I do die there's a good possibility he could too. I quickly lean up and kiss him softly. We haven't kissed like this since before we broke up. He kisses me back too, so gently. I can feel his emotions through the kiss. He's scared and worried, but he's also happy. Happy with the kiss. I pull away slowly and he opens his eyes.

" Oh...that's what you were thinking about," He says with a breathy laugh.

A small smile forms on my face and I keep looking at him.

" Wanda...I thought-," He starts to say with a frown but I interrupt him.

" It was a lie Peter...what I said about me not wanting to be with you anymore. When I said that there was nothing for us anymore. It was all a lie. I was just so scared of being hurt again or hurting you. But I do want you Pete, I do," I explain to him.

He smiles at me and I do the same back but it's not bright. It's sad. His smile drops as he notices mine.

" What else," He asks patiently while tracing his fingers up and down my arm.

" If I die..," I start to say as I look down.

" Wanda," Peter says as he stops his movements.

" No. Peter if I die I just want you to know that. That I did want to be with you. And if I live through this, if we both do, we will try it again. But I don't want to get back together now if I only live another day. I want it to be worth it. I want to be with you," I speak with tears forming in my eyes.

Suddenly there is a thud on the ship and a really loud sound follows it. Peter and I stand up and run toward the sound. Tony has saved Strange and the gray man is no longer on the ship. He's dead. Peter and I rush down there and Strange is talking with Tony.

" Really? You brought them? They don't need to be here," Stephen scoffs.

" Calm down wizard, let's not forget who just saved your magical ass. Plus I couldn't just send them back, they were already on the ship by accident. And Wanda is in just as much danger as you, if not more," my dad points at Strange's chest.

I look around and my eyes widen when I see through a part of the ship, it's an area where you control it. We're arriving on a planet, but we aren't going to land safely if no one's controlling it.

" Um... Dad," I say loudly so the two stop arguing.

" Holy sh- Peter come help me control this. We have to pretend like we're one big person. Move your arm up," Tony tells Peter.

Strange and I are right behind them as they try to control the ship. He suddenly puts up a magic barrier around us four so that when the ship crashes no one gets hurt. The spaceship starts shaking and crashing sounds are heard. Stephen and I fall to our knees because of the rocking from the ship. Stephen keeps the barrier around us all and I hold on to a bar. Once the ship stops moving the barrier closes. Peter rushes over to me and helps me up, of course, I'm fine. I didn't need help. But I love how much he cares. Especially right now.

" Are you okay," He says softly, I nod and squeeze his hand in assurance.

Peter walks away and I start looking around the ship. Suddenly Peter drops upside down, hanging from a web by his feet. He's by Tony and Strange since I've walked to a different spot.

" Um guys if aliens end up implanting eggs in my chest or something and I eat one of you I'm sorry," Peter says casually.

" I do not want any more pop culture references from you for the rest of this space trip. Understand," Tony tells him.

" I'm trying to say that something is coming," Peter finishes.

" What like more of Thanos' people," Stephen exclaims.

My eyes widen and I stop looking elsewhere.

" Oh shi-," Peter starts to say but is cut off by a rolling sound.

A small ball rolls in the middle of all of us and it explodes. We all go flying backward. A small group of people come running in, and one yells, " Thanos." Before he throws sharp objects at Strange, who blocks them with his magic. I bring my magic into my hands and the one with a gun starts flying toward me. I throw hexes at him and he shoots lasers at me, which I block with my magic. Tony flies over and we start fighting him together. The guy puts something on Tony's chest and it sticks his suit to the wall. The guy grabs me but I use my magic to throw him against the wall. He wraps some glowing thing around my arms and body then pulls me into his arms. He puts the gun up to my head and my eyes widen. Tony now has his foot on the gray man who yells a lot. Peter and Strange are standing by each other and a bug-looking woman is standing by Tony. Everyone has stopped fighting though, and they are looking at us.

" Okay everybody, stay where you are. Chill the F out," The man behind me shouts. He moves one of his arms and I think he takes off his mask because he sounds more clear now.

" Wanda," Peter says worryingly as he steps forward but Strange holds him back.

" I'm gonna ask you this one time. Where is Gamora," The guy says sternly.

" Yeah, I'll do you one better. Who's Gamora," My dad scoffs.

" I'll do YOU one better. Why is Gamora," The gray man speaks.

I furrow my eyebrows and look at him.

" Tell me where the girl is or I swear to you I'm gonna french fry this little magical freak," The man holding me threatens.

I open my mouth to say something sarcastic but I decide against it considering he has a gun to my head.

" Let's do it, you shoot her and I'll blast your guy. Let's go," Tony says while forming the arm of his suit into a giant weapon.

" Do it, Quill, I can take it," The gray man breathes heavily.

" No he can't take it," The bug lady exclaims.

" She's right, you can't," Strange says.

I make eye contact with Peter and he looks like he's ready to swing over here. I know he is. But I give him a look, telling him to stay put. He nods and takes a deep breath.

" Well fine you don't want to tell me where she is that's fine, I'll kill all of you and then beat it out Thanos myself. Starting with you," 'Quill' says angrily while pushing the gun closer to me. I tilt my head away but then I look up. Wait did he just say Thanos?

" Wait what, Thanos? Alright let me ask you this one time, what master do you serve," Strange asks them.

" What master do I serve? What am I supposed to say, Jesus," Quill scoffs.

I sigh in relief and close my eyes for a split second.

" You're from Earth," Peter says with confusion.

" I'm not from Earth I'm from Missouri," The man replies.

" Yeah that's on Earth dipshit, what are you hassling us for," Tony exclaims.

" Wait...you're not with Thanos," I finally speak.

" With Thanos? No, I'm here to kill Thanos. He took my girl- Wait who are you," Quill responds.

He lets go of me and takes the gun away.

" We're the Avengers," I sigh while stepping towards my team.

Quill looks away in disbelief and closes his eyes.

" You're the ones Thor told us about," The woman I believe is named Mantis says.

" You know Thor," Peter questions.

" Yeah, a tall guy not that good-looking. We saved him," Quill explains.

After a little we all walk out of the ship and the planet we’re on is trashed. There’s no one here and there are just rocks everywhere.

“ What happened here,” I say hesitantly.

“ Thanos happened,” Starlord speaks.

Strange walks off to somewhere and we start talking about a plan.

“ I say we wait for him to come here to get the stones then we attack him and take the other stones,” Tony suggests.

“ Wait stones, like more than one? There’s another one with you guys,” Quill asks.

I look at Tony and he glances at me also. I think he might be trying to avoid talking about it. He’s scared that he’ll lose me. I’m scared too, I don’t want to die.

“ Yeah we have the mindstone too,” Tony replies.

Peter is sitting next to me looking around. I take his hand and he looks at me, a small smile forming on his face.

“ Um excuse me, but does your friend often do…that,” Mantis asks hesitantly.

We look over at Stephen and he’s sitting on a rock, his green magic is out and he looks like he’s twitching but way worse. I stand up and we all walk toward him.

“ Strange, you alright,” My dad questions.

I furrow my eyebrows and bring my magic into my hands. I hover it over his head and my eyes turn red. He’s looking through the possible outcomes of this. I pull away and step back.

“ What’s he doing,” Drax says in confusion.

“ He’s looking through all of the possible outcomes in other universes,” I tell everyone.

Suddenly Strange stops and opens his eyes. He looks at us all in shock.

“ What? What did you see,” Tony questions.

“ All of the possibilities…,” Stephen starts to say.

“ How many did we win,” Peter asks.

Stephen looks up and he makes eye contact with me. My stomach tightens and I know that look isn’t a good one.

“ One..,” He states.

Chapter Text

We're still waiting for Thanos to arrive and it's been around an hour probably. Tony and Quill started bickering so I decided to separate from the group a little. Not so far to where I can't see them but to some quiet. I find a place to sit and I sit crisscross. I need to talk to Sam. Maybe he can brighten up my mood a little or something. I bring my magic into my hands and close my eyes. I lift myself a bit off of the rock so I am hovering over it. Then I focus, we're a long way away from Earth. But I can still find his mind. I know I can. I push my power and eventually, I find Sam. I enter his mind and he seems worried, but he's not doing any fighting of any sort.

" Sam," I speak into his head.

" Wanda? Woah what the hell? Are you in my head or am I hearing voices," He replies in confusion.

I laugh a little out loud and smile.

" No, it's me. I'm talking to you through your mind," I tell him.

" No way. You're okay! Is everyone else okay," He questions.

" Yeah, we're all alright for now. We're on Thanos' home plant, Titan. We're waiting for him," I explain.

" What? Why are you waiting for Thanos? He's gonna try to kill you," My best friend exclaims.

" Knowing Stark he has a plan. He knows what he's doing. Don't tell him I said that," I hear a familiar voice state.

My smile widens when I realize I'm also in Natasha's head.

" Hi, Nat. Yeah, he has a plan, I hope it works," I sigh shakily.

" Something will work Red, nobody is going to let Thanos kill you," Nat replies.

" I love you guys. You guys are my family, my friends, you're everything to me," I tell the two.

" Don't start getting teary on us Maxi. You're not going anywhere. Don't say goodbye," Sam says sternly.

" I just have a bad feeling about this," I say with my voice cracking.

" That's you being scared. We both love you too Wanda. Cap loves you, Shuri loves you, Tony loves you, Thor loves you, Strange loves you even though he sucks at showing it, and Peter especially loves you. No one is going to let you die," Nat says.

" Thanks, Nat. I gotta go Tony is probably biting off Quill's head," I laugh.

" Who's Quill," She asks with confusion.

" Oh it's a long story, I'll get back to you on that," I tell her.

Suddenly I feel a hand on my arm and my eyes shoot open. Tony, Peter, Strange, Quill, and all of his team are standing in front of me. I stand up on the ground and brush off my leather pants.

" Sorry. I was talking to Sam and Nat," I tell them.

" You can reach them all the way from here," Tony says in shock.

I nod and look at Peter. He gives me a small smile then Tony starts speaking.

" Alright let's discuss positions," My dad starts to say.

After a while, everyone starts separating to go to their spots while we wait for Thanos. Peter and I are walking together so we can attack Thanos from the side. We're walking side by side and our hands brush now and then.

" What are you gonna do when we get home," Peter asks me.

I smile and look down as I walk, " Maybe eat a tub of ice cream and listen to Taylor Swift."

" Can I join," He laughs softly bumping my shoulder.

" Of course," I reply softly before looking over at him, " What are you going to do?"

He gives me a look with a sly smile and I roll my eyes playfully. " You're so dirty," I giggle as we finally get to our positions.

Peter turns to me and kisses me softly and passionately. I sigh happily and kiss him back while putting my hands on his chest. He hums and wraps his arms around my waist. My hands move to cup his cheeks and pull him closer to me. Peter shoves his tongue against my lips and I open my mouth. Immediately his tongue gains dominance and I run my fingers through his hair.

" Parker. If you don't get your tongue out of my kid's mouth I might just have to shoot you instead of Thanos," we hear Tony say into the coms.

Peter and I immediately pull away and I let out a loud laugh.

" Sorry Mr Stark, it was an accident," Peter says quickly halfway joking.

I feel a warning pain in my body and I gasp. I grab onto Peter and he holds me up.

" Thanos is here," I tell everyone through the coms.

" Okay everyone stay in positions," my dad orders.

Peter and I look around for Thanos but I'm not sure where he is. Suddenly a big cloud of blue smoke starts to appear in front of where Strange is sitting. Thanos walks out of it and the smoke goes away.

" Oh yeah, you're much more of a Thanos," Strange speaks while tossing a rock in his hand.

He's going along as planned, he's the distraction for right now.

" I take it the Maw is dead, this day extracts a heavy toll. Yet still he accomplished his mission," Thanos says while walking toward Stephen.

" You may regret that. He brought you face to face with the master of the mystic arts," Stephen smirks.

Peter pulls me to him so he can get ready to swing us over there.

" Where do you think he brought you," Thanos asks.

" Let me guess...your home," Strange asks.

Thanos looks around with an emotionless look on his face.

" It was," He says before clenching his fist.

The reality stone lights up and the whole scene changes. It's now green, back when everything and everyone was alive. The scene goes away as Thanos says something.

" I'm a survivor. Some weren't as fortunate I guess," He says with no remorse.

" You want to kill trillions," Stephen says sternly.

" With all 6 stones, I could simply snap my fingers. They would all cease to exist, I call that...mercy," Thanos says.

Strange stands up and starts walking toward him," Then what?"

" I finally rest, and watch the sunrise on a grateful universe. The hardest choices require the strongest wills," The purple man speaks.

" Then you'll find our will equal to yours," Strange says while bringing out his magic.

" Our," Thanos replies with confusion.

Peter swings us over there and I use my magic to land on the ground. Tony pushes down a giant block of scraps and rocks onto Thanos, but he uses the power stone to destroy it. Peter shoots a web at Thanos' eyes and I start throwing hexes at him. He groans and steps back, ripping the web off. Drax starts fighting him with his knives, Strange joins in also. I use my magic to create a glowing rope and I wrap it around his neck pulling him to the floor. He grabs the rope and throws me into a large rock. I stand back up and run back over to him. Strange's cloak is holding onto Thanos' hand now so he can't close his fist. Strange starts making portals and Peter leaps out of them, punching and kicking Thanos each time.

" Magic, magic, more magic, magic with a kick, magic with a-," Peter gets cut off by Thanos grabbing his throat.

I throw an angry hex at Thanos and he drops Spidey. I use my magic to leap over to him and I shoot balls of magic at his face. He tries to hit me but I block his punches. He suddenly rips off the cape and throws it, then he uses the power stone to lift me into the air. Tony flies in and starts shooting at him, he drops me to the floor and explosions distract Thanos. But then he uses one of the stones to shoot all of the fire back at Tony and he goes flying.

" Dad," I shout out.

Peter swings in and shoots a web at the gauntlet but then Thanos punches him. A giant ship comes flying in and it hits Thanos. Wait what the hell? A woman jumps out and punches him. She looks like a robot. Thanos looks down at her and she tilts her head.

" Well, well, well," He says.

" You should've killed me," She tells him while pulling out her weapon.

" Would've been a waste of parts," Thanos says angrily.

They start fighting then Thanos throws her. Strange grabs his hand with red ropes of magic and Thanos struggles to get free. Drax slides in and kicks his shin then Quill uses one of his devices to keep Thanos' regular hand on the ground. Peter uses a web and sticks it to his chest and the ground. Then I stand up and use my magic to hold him in place. Strange makes a portal above Thanos' head and Mantis falls out, landing on his shoulders. She gets into his head and keeps him in a paralyzed state. But she's struggling. Tony and Peter start trying to take off his glove.

" Wanda help her, get into his head too," Strange tells me.

I look over and my eyes widen, " I don't think I can! It will be too much!"

" No, it won't, you can do it," He replies with assurance.

I nod and keep my magic focused on keeping him on the ground but then I get into his head. I calm him but I also explore into his mind. I wince due to the migraine that's forming due to the power I'm using. I can't hear much of what else is going out outside of his head. I hear them talking but not exactly what they're saying. I see him with a green woman, they're on a cliff. He throws her off, and she's dead. That's how he got the soul stone.

" Oh my god...He killed her," I speak out loud. I still can't hear what they're talking about so I keep looking.

I walk toward the green woman but the scene is different. She's alive. She looks at me and smiles sadly.

" I don't know you. But you know me, don't you," She asks.

I nod and she does the same, " You're Gamora."

" Do you know Peter? Peter Quill," She questions.

I nod and she smiles a little more, " I love him. Can you stop him for me, Thanos? He wants to kill half of the universe, you can't let him. Please stop him."

I smile sadly and nod again, " I will try my hardest."

Suddenly I'm getting pushed out of his head and I gasp as my powers feel overwhelming. He's back, he's free. I open my eyes and Quill has punched him. Mantis falls off of his shoulders from behind, then Thanos grabs me and throws me away from him. I scream then suddenly I feel arms around me. It's Peter, as we're about to hit the ground his iron spider legs come out and stop us from hitting it. He holds my head and pulls away.

" Are you okay," He asks frantically.

I nod and breathe heavily. Peter wipes off the blood from under my nose with his thumb then we stand up again. The guardians are all four asleep now and on the floor. Stephen is distracting Thanos once again with his magic. He's made multiple different clones of himself. They all pull out a golden rope and grab Thanos. Then he uses the power stone to make all of the clones disappear. He pulls Stephen toward him and grabs his neck. I run toward him and Peter follows after me.

" You're full of tricks wizard," Thanos says while grabbing the eye around his neck.

He shatters it but luckily the stone isn't in it. I leap over and throw a hex at him. He drops Strange and looks at me.

" You all just have surprises don't you," He says angrily.

" Maybe," I say slyly with a small smile.

He clenches his fists and shoots a beam from the power stone at me. I catch it with my magic and shoot a beam of my own magic at him. Purple and Red collide in the middle. And I focus on shooting power at him.

" Holy shit," Peter yells with excitement.

Strange looks shocked also, I don't know why.

Thanos adds another stone to the beam, the space stone. But I'm still shooting my magic at him. It's getting a little harder though. My eyes glow red and I put more power into it. By now Thanos is using all stones and I'm struggling to keep the beam going. I add my other hand and whimper as it pushes me back a little.

" You're more powerful than I thought little one. But not powerful enough," He speaks while grabbing one of my arms. But I use my magic to burn his hand when he touches my skin.

" Are you sure," I spit before tilting my head and blasting him backward.

I fall to my knees weakly and Peter swings by me. Tony flies over to Thanos who isn't that far back and starts fighting him. Peter wraps his arms around me and cups my face with worry.

" Hey, it's okay. It's fine, you did amazing," He assures me.

I smile up at him and we look over at Tony. Suddenly Thanos stabs him in the stomach, my eyes widen and I stand up.

" No, Dad," I cry out.

They are close once again and my dad falls to his knees. Thanos clenches his fist to kill Tony but then he stops.

" Stop! Spare his life and I will give you the stone," Strange shouts.

Peter and I look at Stephen in shock. No, no he can't give him the stone. Thanos obviously doesn't know that I'm the mind stone yet, but he will. If he gets the time stone then I will be the only one left. I'll die, half of the universe will die.

" No tricks," Thanos says sternly.

Strange shakes his head and Tony looks at me then at Strange.

" Don't," Tony yells as he leans against a rock.

Strange makes the time stone appear in his hand and I step forward.

" Strange no," I beg with pleading eyes.

He looks at me and shakes his head. He has a look in his eyes that tells me he knows what he's doing. Maybe he has a plan. But when the stone floats over to Thanos and goes into the gauntlet, I know he doesn't have a plan. I place my hands on my stomach and stumble backward next to Peter.

" No," He whispers, shock and worry evident in his voice.

" One to go," Thanos smirks before Starlord comes flying in and shooting at him.

But then Thanos teleports away, who knows to where. But he'll be back. I fall to my knees and clench my chest. I look down and breathe heavily.

" Wanda," Peter says hesitantly but I shake my head and look at my dad.

I rush over to him and use my powers to heal him. He looks at me and frowns. I hug him tightly and tears form in my eyes. I don't want to die, I'm not ready. I stand up and look at Stephen, we walk over to him and he's avoiding eye contact.

" Why would you do that? You gave him the stone, you weren't supposed to do that," I exclaim with my voice cracking a little.

" It had to be done Wanda, I'm so sorry," He sighs.

He finally looks at me and I see nothing but remorse and grief in his eyes. He saw into the future, he saw the possibilities of us winning. If this is the only way, then I trust him.

" He'll be back. We can try again," my dad tells everyone who is now here including the Guardians.

I turn around and look at the ground emotionlessly and walk away from the group. I slide down a large rock and run my fingers through my hair.

" Wands," I hear Peter say softly as he sits next to me.

I look over at him and lean onto his chest.

" I'm sorry, I said we could try again," I whisper against his suit.

" No, you're gonna be okay. I'm not gonna let him kill you alright? We will get back together. I can't live without you," He assures me.

I press a gentle kiss to his lips and he sighs shakily. We pull away and I lean my forehead against his.

" Peter..," I say hesitantly while starting to pull away.

His mask isn't on so I can see his face, his hair, all of him.

" Maybe you guys should just kill me," I speak.

Peter's eyes widen and he shakes his head, " What? Wanda no. No, we're not doing that."

" Peter, think about it. Thanos needs to physically kill me to get the mind stone. But he's not here yet. If you kill me first before him then everyone can live," I suggest.

" It wouldn't work Wanda. He has the time stone there's no use. He could just bring you back," Strange states from his spot on the ground.

My shoulders fall and I nod in acceptance.

Chapter Text

I'm sitting away from the group, Peter is over there now as well. I'm just letting my magic flow around my fingers. I hear someone walking over to me and they sit next to me. I look up and my dad is sitting next to me.

" Hey kiddo," He says softly.

I smile weakly at him and scoot closer to him. He wraps his arms around me and hugs me tightly.

" Hi dad," I sigh against his suit.

I can feel his emotions, he's sad. He's angry at Strange for giving up the time stone, he's worried about me, he's scared he's going to lose me. I hug him tighter, like it's the last time. Because it probably is.

" I'm sorry," I whisper while closing my eyes.

" Wanda Maximoff. You know this isn't your fault. It's not, none of it is. You have nothing to be sorry for. I'm gonna do everything I can to protect you honey, I promise," He tells me.

I nod and pull away from him. I know he'll do whatever he can to protect me. But it's against Thanos, there's no way he can beat Thanos like this.

" Dad," I say quietly as we continue hugging.

He hums and I pull away, he strokes my hair in a comforting manner.

" I love you," I tell him with a small smile.

He smiles too and nods, " I love you too kid."

We stand up and walk over to the group. Peter is standing next to Stephen so I walk over and sit next to them.

" So what's the plan Strange. You gave up the time stone, when he comes back for my kid we gotta protect her," Tony speaks.

Stephen looks up at him and runs his fingers through his hair.

" There is no plan Tony. I have nothing. I had to give him the stone, there was no choice. When Thanos gets the mind stone we'll be in the endgame. We couldn't stop him before what makes you think we can stop him now," Strange sighs.

I sigh and look up at Peter and he looks pissed off. I've come to accept that I'm going to die. I still don't want to and I'm terrified. But I can't do anything about it. Suddenly before I can say or do anything Peter leaps over to Strange and punches him in the face. I gasp and stand up in shock.

" Woah! Woah! Calm down Parker," Tony shouts. But Peter doesn't listen.

Stephen is stood up now and Peter is pushing him.

" You're just going to fucking let her die?! You don't even care, do you?! You're just gonna let Thanos kill her and get the mind stone! What the hell is wrong with you," Peter yells with tears in his eyes.

Peter moves to punch him again but I grab his wrist. He looks at me and his eyes soften.

" Peter stop. Calm down," I tell him.

I've never seen him this mad, ever. I understand them being mad at Strange. But even after he gave the time stone up. I still trust him. I know he cares about me, more than he shows. He doesn't want me to die just as much as anyone else here. But if he's saying that I'm going to die, then it must be what he saw. When he looked into the possibilities. It might be the only way everyone can live in the end. Everyone but me. And I'm okay with that. If I have to die to make sure Peter, Tony, Natasha, Sam, Steve, anyone really, survives. Then I will.

" I'm sorry," Strange tells Peter with a frown, a bit of blood coming from his nose.

Suddenly the wind picks up and I know that Thanos is here. The familiar cloud of blue smoke appears and Thanos walks through. He looks around and his eyes land on me.

" You know, when I left to find the mind stone. I didn't expect it to be with you little one. Or should I say, be you," He says.

The smoke disappears and Thanos tilts his head.

" Wanda, go. We need to distract him," Strange states to everyone.

I look back at him, " What? Are you sure? I can help."

" Yes. Go," He exclaims. I start running as Thanos walks toward them. He looks at me but then the team starts attacking him. I run as fast as I can, I don't know where I'm going. Suddenly someone appears in front of me. I gasp and stop in my tracks. Erik Lehnsherr stands in front of me with his maroon suit and helmet. He has his arms crossed and a smirk on his face. Is he really here? Oh my god he's working with Thanos.

" What are you doing here," I say shakily as I take a step back.

" Thanos wants the mind stone, so I'm here to help him. Daughter," He says.

I shake my head and tears fill my eyes, " You're terrible. I didn't think you could get any worse, but you are. You know he wants to kill me right? That's how he gets the mind stone."

Magneto nods and but there's something like slight regret behind his eyes. He can't trick me with that, I know he doesn't care.

" I know, but he agreed to give me what I want in exchange for my help," He says with no remorse in his voice.

" And what do you want," I scoff while stepping back once again.

" I want for my mutants to all be at full power. Whatever they want," He states.

My heart breaks a little more because of him. He cares more about his mutants than his own daughter.

" Of course you do. You'll happily kill your own daughter just to have your team get more power," I reply.

Suddenly he grabs my wrist and starts pulling me in the direction of Thanos. I gasp and cry out, " No! Stop let me go," I scream.

Then out of no where before I can blast magneto, Peter comes swinging in and kicks him in the face. Erik goes flying back and onto the ground. Peter lands by me and stands in front of me protectively. Magneto stands back up and tilts his head.

" So this is your boyfriend, yes? I guess it's time to meet the father," He says mischievously.

I bring my magic into my hands and step up next to Peter. " He already did," I spit before throwing a hex at him.

It purposely lands on his face and he falls unconscious. I got into his head and made him go into a deep sleep. I turn to Peter and he pulls me into his arms. He swings us away but suddenly we are shot by a beam from Thanos. We start falling from the air and Peter tightens his grip around me as we scream. We hit the ground and roll over a few times. I was able to put a shield around us last minute but we still hit the ground kind of rough. We get up after a second and I look at him.

" Are you okay," I ask Peter.

" Yeah, yeah I'm okay. C'mon we have to go," Peter tells me.

I look over at the others Tony is trying to fight Thanos but he's not doing too well. Strange glances over at me and frowns. He nods slightly and I look down in realization. I step toward Peter and he grabs me preparing to swing us again. But I put my hands on his chest and he looks down at me. His mask disappears but his suit stays on.

" Come on Wands, we gotta go. They can't hold him much longer," Peter tells me.

I look into his beautiful brown eyes and smile sadly. He looks at me in confusion and cups my cheeks.

" What? What's going on," He asks softly.

I shake my head and put my hands on his wrists, holding him there.

" Peter," I sigh shakily.

His eyes widen in realization and we both look over to the team fighting Thanos. " Wanda no, no come on we're going. We can go. Come on please," He says frantically.

" No we can't Pete, we have no where to go to. It's the only way everyone can live in the end," I tell him with my voice cracking.

" Everyone but you Wands. That's too high a price. Please don't do this," He begs with tears forming in his eyes.

" It's the only way. Strange looked into all of the possible outcomes. We only won, once. This is that one time Peter," I explain while cupping his cheeks also.

He shakes his head and I kiss him softly. I kiss him goodbye. He kisses back but sobs in the middle of it. I pull away with a small smile and I lean my forehead against his.

" I love you, so much," I whisper with my eyes closed.

His eyes open quickly and I pull away fully. We haven't said I love you since we broke up. But I'm saying it now. Because I do love him, I love him more than anything.

" I love you too. I love you more than anything, baby. That's why you can't go. Please don't go. I can't live without you," He admits.

I wipe his tears away with my thumb and tears fall from my eyes. I glance over and Thanos is walking towards us. I look at Peter and my heart is beating quickly.

" I'm so sorry. I'm sorry. I have to. For you to live. He's coming. They can't stop him Peter but I can," I tell him quickly.

" Wanda no," He cries while pulling me into his arms into a hug.

" You have to let me go Peter, please. We are out of time," I sob against his chest. Thanos is getting closer.

' Wanda, hold him off a little longer' I hear Strange tell me in my head.

Thanos is here, and I wasn't prepared to hold him off.

" I need to wait a little longer though, help me hold him off," I tell my lover.

I tap the bracelet on my wrist and the suit Tony made forms around me. Thanos grabs me and I shoot my magic at him through the suit. Tony made it so instead of the beams he has in his suit it's made so my magic comes out. But since I can't fly with my magic I'm still able to fly with the suit. Which I do right now as Peter swings around Thanos and kicks him in the face. Thanos groans and grabs Peter, throwing him to the side. He grabs me by my neck and slams me onto the ground. I gasp as he rips off the core of the suit so it all falls apart. He picks me up by my neck and I explode my powers around me. I don't know where Tony is, but I'm worried. The guardians aren't here either. I see Strange flying over to us though. Peter is getting up now and I'm on the floor. He runs over to me and pulls me into his arms.

" Come on, get up," He says frantically.

I stand up and squeeze his hand but suddenly Thanos uses the space stone to yank my body toward him. I land in his arms and he puts a red dagger to my throat. My eyes widen and I breathe heavily.

" I hope you said your last goodbyes young one. This is your last chance," Thanos speaks.

I see Tony flying over to us, he moves to intervene but Thanos uses one of the stones to hold him against a scrap of metal.

" No," He shouts while trying to get free.

Thanos does the same to Peter and Strange.

I look at them and tears form in my eyes.

“ I love you dad,” I whimper.

I look at Peter and he’s breathing heavily.

“ I love you,” I mouth to him, he lets out a sob and tries to get out.

“ Your sacrifice will be for the greater good,” Thanos speaks.

“ It’s not a sacrifice! You’re killing her! Let her go please,” Peter begs.

My lip quivers and I feel harder pressure on my throat. Suddenly my neck feels in pain and Thanos drops me to the ground. Then everything goes black.

Thanos keeps one arm around Wanda's body, keeping her in place, and the other hand holds the dagger that's pressed to her neck. I can feel my heart beating out of my chest. She can't die, she can't. But I can't get out. Thanos won't let me go. She looks at me and tears are falling from her eyes.

" It's okay, I love you," She says in my head with her powers.

Suddenly Thanos slits her throat and blood pours from her neck. I gasp and cry out. Wanda's eyes roll into the back of her head and Thanos drops her body to the ground. Blood pools around her head, then her eyes close. I cry out and try to escape once again.

" No! No Wanda," I shout.

I look over at Tony and he's looking at her in shock, there's no tears in his eyes but they're starting to form. A yellow and red light explodes out of Wanda and flows out. It makes Thanos stumble back. But nothing happens, suddenly the light appears again and all of us have to close our eyes so we don't get blinded. Once the light fades we see Thanos standing there and his fist is clenched. He looks down and opens his hand. The mind stone is in his hand, immediately he puts it into the gauntlet. Tony shoots a beam at Thanos but Thanos blocks it with the reality stone. He snaps his fingers, and next we know he disappears and we're free. Oh my god, he snapped. I stand up and run to Wanda, she's still lying on the ground.

" Wanda," I say frantically as I get on my knees in front of her.

I pick up her body and cradle her in my arms. Tears stream down my face and I stroke her cheek.

" No, no please don't leave me. Wake up, you're okay," I sob.

I look at the others, the guardians are over here now also looking at me. Tony is crying, I've never seen him cry before.

" Strange, help her! One of you help her, she's gonna be okay," I yell.

But they just stand there, I know she's gone. Thanos has the stone. He snapped, and so far nothing has happened. But she's gone, she's not breathing. I can't feel her heartbeat.

" She's gone Peter...we're in the endgame now," Strange sighs shakily.

I let out a sob and bury my face into Wanda's neck.

" I'm so sorry. I'm sorry, I love you," I sob against her skin.

She lays limp, and lifeless in my arms. I feel my spider sense going off and my stomach starts to hurt. I look back and all of the guardians but Nebula are fading, and then Strange goes too. I look up to Tony and he's looking around confused.

" M-Mr Stark...I don't feel so good," I say hesitantly.

He gets on his knees next to me and puts his hand on my shoulder.

" It's okay kid, it's okay. I'm sorry," He assures me.

I look down at Wanda again then I feel myself fading also. Next, I know I'm in front of the Avengers Tower. I'm in the same position with Wanda's body no longer in my arms. I close my eyes and sigh shakily.

WANDA MAXIMOFF
******************************

When I first fought with the Avengers, I never thought I would end up here. The Avengers as my family, Tony as my father. Dating a boy with Spider powers from Queens. And now dying for them. Dying for the world. Dying because I was needed to kill off half of the world. After everything went black I suddenly appeared here. Everything is white. It's like a never-ending white room. I thought I was dead, I don't understand. I don't feel alive. But I don't feel dead either. No one else is here, it's silent.

" Wanda," I hear a familiar voice speak behind me.

I turn around quickly and Strange is standing there. I gasp and run into his arms and hug him.

" What's going on? Where am I? Did Thanos kill me," I ask frantically.

He nods and closes his eyes, " He killed you and got the stone. He snapped. Peter, Me, Sam, and many others were blipped. But we're only blipped, I promise. We aren't fully dead."

I look at him and sigh shakily, " And me?"

He hugs me again and shakes his head. " I'm sorry kid, you're gone for good. I just had to say my goodbye. I...I care about you a lot kid. You mean a lot to me. And it shouldn't be you but it is. You deserved a much better and longer life than what you got," Strange tells me.

I feel tears fall down my cheeks and I smile sadly.

" Can you just tell them that I love them? Everyone. Tell Tony that it's not his fault, I know he'll try to blame himself. Tell Peter that I love him more than anything, and tell him maybe in the next life. And it's not your fault either Strange. You've helped me so much," I cry quietly.

" Call me Stephen...kid," He smiles softly.

" Goodbye Stephen," I whisper as he starts walking away.

Next I know I'm all alone. But nothing is changing. Is this what the afterlife is? Just plain white walls? I sink to the ground and wrap my arms around my legs. I feel so alone.

***************************************

TONY STARK
************************
It's been around 20 days since everything went down with Thanos. When I lost my kid. When Peter and Strange disappeared like half of the universe. Nebula and I are the only two on the ship. But we aren't doing too good. The ship was broken during battle and we've been working on fixing it. But as of right now, we're just floating in the middle of space. Oxygen is going to run out tomorrow, and we'll both be dead. I miss Pepper, I miss her a whole lot. I miss Wanda. I miss them both. I wish they were here with me. Peter too. I wish I weren't stranded on a ship in space. We're sitting in a room with the glass looking into space. Suddenly a bright light starts to come closer to the front of the ship. We both stand up and watch as a figure comes toward us. It's a woman and she has blonde hair. And then next I know, in about 30 minutes. We're on Earth again, the woman carried the whole ship down to Earth. The stairs open then me and the blue girl walk out of the ship hesitantly.

I truly thought I was going to die. Once I walk out I see my beautiful wife, oh god I missed her.

" Tony," She sighs in relief, she runs over to me and hugs me tightly but gently.

" I couldn't stop him Pep," I tell her while finally letting tears fall.

I don't cry, I don't think I've cried since my parents died. When I thought Pepper died I almost cried, I would have if it were any longer. But I've had 20 days to think about Wanda, my kid. My daughter. The kid I promised to protect.

" I know honey, it's okay," She says softly.

I shake my head and look into her eyes, " I lost her. I lost Wanda. I lost both of the kids."

She nods and tears start to fall from her eyes also. Rogers is over here now too.

" C'mon let's get you inside," He sighs while patting my back.

************************************

I'm now sitting in a robe on a chair. We're discussing Thanos and everything. I've been looking at the floor this whole time, they're showing pictures of who all 'blipped'. Peter Parker pops up on the screen and I sigh while running my fingers through my hair.

" Where is he now," I ask everyone, referring to Thanos.

" We don't know. We thought you might since he was there," Cap replies.

" What's wrong with him," I ask while pointing at Thor.

He looks mad and sad at the same time.

" He's pissed, he thinks he failed," The Raccoon states.

" He didn't give you any clues or coordinates," Steve asks me, I scoff in response.

I make a motion like my brain is exploding and fake laugh. " Oh yeah, how could I forget he told me he was going on a month-long cruise in the Bahamas after he wipes out half of the world's living things," I say sarcastically.

" Sorry Cap, I was kind of too busy focusing on keeping my kid safe. Which I failed at by the way, in case you haven't noticed. And even if he did give me any types of clues I probably wasn't paying attention considering Wanda's throat got slit open two seconds before that. So my bad for not being Nancy Drew and writing the clues in my diary," I say angrily as I stand up.

" Okay, Tony calm down buddy," Rhodes says as he puts his hands on my shoulders.

" I got nothing for you Rogers. Nothing. No clues, no coordinates, no plans, no ideas, no little witch to help us out either. Absolutely nothing. Nada. Zip-Zero," I shout.

I grab my arc reactor and yank it off my chest, putting it into Steve's hands.

" There you go, that's all I got for-for you," I breathe heavily.

" Woah, Tony," Rhodey and Romanoff say at the same time.

I fall to my knees and wheeze, " I'm fine, I'm fine."

But I'm not fine. And next, I know I pass out on the ground.

5 YEARS LATER

TONY STARK
*************************

I'm outside looking around, listening for any little giggles. Pepper is inside showering. I get closer to the shed and I find that the door is slightly open. The cabin we have is very cozy yet it's pretty big. And the land goes out past the lake. I open the door to the shed and I'm met with a little girl sitting on the floor. Her face is covered by one of my old Iron Man helmets.

" What do you think you're doing missy," I say with a smile.

I press the button on the side of the helmet and it opens. I take it off of her and she giggles.

" I found it," She says with a big smile.

I haven't worn one of my suits in 5 years. Since everything...I don't want to. It brings back memories.

" Come on, let's go inside. What do you want for dinner," I ask her while picking her up.

" Burgers," She exclaims.

I grin and walk back inside, Pepper is standing in the kitchen flipping burgers.

" Cheeseburgers," Morgan shouts while running toward Pepper.

She hugs her mom and Pepper sets her on the counter. Sometimes I feel terrible about having a kid after Wanda. I miss her a lot, every day. Sometimes she's in my dreams, it's like she's actually talking to me. But I know she's not, cause I watched her die 5 years ago. When Pepper and I found out she was pregnant we were excited. But both of us missed Wanda. It was fresh, only a year later. We still miss her. Especially me. She was Pepper's daughter too, but Pepper didn't spend as much time as I did with her. She was busy a lot. But Wanda and I always spent time together. And everything reminds me of her. And sometimes when I look at Morgan, all I can think about is Wanda. She reminds me of her sometimes. I love Morgan a lot, she and Pepper are my everything. I just can’t help the guilt that I feel.

" Daddy someone's here," Morgan exclaims as she points out the window.

I furrow my eyebrows and look over. A gray car is parked outside in the driveway. Three people step out of the car. Steve Rogers, Natasha Romanoff, and Scott Lang. I haven't talked to any of the Avengers other than Rhodes in 5 years. I couldn't. I moved away with Pepper and had a kid. I sigh and Pepper touches my shoulder.

" Go Tony, I got her," She says.

I shake my head and walk out the door and onto my front porch. We start discussing why they're here. And I don't know what to think.

" Quantum fluctuation messes with the Planck scale. Which then triggers the Deutsch proposition. Can we agree on that," I speak finally.

They think we can build...what, a time machine? And go back to stop Thanos? I have no idea. I kind of blocked a lot out. It's impossible.

" That means they're not coming home," I tell them.

" I did," Lang replies with a shrug.

" No, no you accidentally survived. It's a billion-to-one cosmic fluke. And now you wanna pull a-a time heist," I scoff.

" The stones are in the past, we could go back and get them," Rogers states.

" We could snap our own fingers. We can bring everyone back," Romanoff finishes.

" Did you guys forget Wanda had the mind stone in her since HYDRA? Then what, we would have to find her, fight her, and kill her all over again," I ask them.

" No, we could go further back. Before it was in her," Cap states.

" If we strictly follow the rules of time travel we could pull it off! That means no talking to our past selves, no betting on sporting events," Scott starts to say as me and him sit down.

" I'm gonna stop you right there tiny guy. Are you seriously telling me your plan to save the universe is based on Back to the Future," I ask dumbfounded.

" Tony...we have to take a stand," Nat tells me.

I look at her and shake my head, " We did stand. And yet here we are."

" I know you got a lot on the line. You got a wife and a daughter. But I lost someone very important to me. A lot of people did. And now we have the chance to bring her back, to bring everyone back. And you're telling me that you won't even-," I cut him off by standing up.

" I know a lot of people lost someone! I was one of those people. I lost some friends. I lost my daughter. I lost Peter. But that's right Scott, I won't even. I can't," I respond with a sigh.

I hear little footsteps and I look over. Morgan is walking out and she comes and hugs me.

" Mommy told me to come and save you," She says.

" Good job, I'm saved," I mutter while hugging her back.

I start to walk away but Cap stops me.

" Look Tony I'm happy for you, I really am. But this is a second chance," He says.

" I got my second chance right here Cap," I reply.

" What about Wanda, she was your first chance, Tony. You're just gonna let her death be for nothing," Natasha says loudly.

I stop in my tracks and look at the ground. I feel a twinge in my heart and I shake my head, " You guys can leave now."

***************************************

I'm drying off the dishes, Morgan is asleep and Pepper is wherever she is. I look up silently and my eyes catch a familiar picture frame behind some glasses. I grab it and smile at it. It's a picture of Wanda, Pepper, and me on our wedding day. I'm in my suit, Pepper is in her white dress, and Wanda is in the red dress she wore. I wiped some cake onto Wanda's nose and she had a huge smile on her face as we took a picture. So do me and my wife. Wanda is in the middle of us. I sigh and keep my eyes on the brunette kid in the picture. I miss her a lot. If there was any chance that we could bring her back, I would take it. But even if we do this time travel thing, she won't come back. She's dead, she died before everyone blipped. But Romanoff is right. She didn't want to die for nothing. She willingly died for us, because she thought that we would figure it out in the end. That we would win. She would want me to do this. She would want everyone to come back. For Peter, Sam, Shuri, T'Challa, Quill, Strange, for everyone to come back.

Now I'm giving in. If it's just the slightest chance that we can bring everyone back. I'll try to do it. After about an hour of trying to figure it out. Trying to figure out time travel. I did it. I figured it out.

" Tony? What's going on," I hear Pepper's sweet voice speak.

I look at her in shock and laugh in disbelief, " I figured it out."

" Just so we're...you know talking about the same thing," She says hesitantly.

" Time travel," I reply.

She sits next to me on the couch and takes my hand.

" We got really lucky for the most part...a lot of people didn't," She says softly.

" I know...I know," I sigh.

***********************************

All of us are standing on the time machine now, we're going to do it. We have teams. Clint and Nat are going to Vormir for the Soul stone, Cap and I are going to Sokovia for the Mind stone, Thor and the Raccoon are going to Azgard for the Reality stone, Bruce and Scott are going to New York for both the Time stone and the Space stone, then Nebula and Rhodes are going to whatever planet for the power stone. Next, I know Cap and I are in Sokovia. HYDRA has Loki's scepter, which has the mind stone in it. We don't know if Wanda and Pietro are here yet.

" Alright let's get moving. The faster we get the stone the faster we can get out of here," Cap states.

We walk toward the giant stone building on the top of the hill. Under our time travel outfits, we decided to wear outfits that would make us blend in with HYDRA. So just black suits to make us seem secretive. We walk into the doors with no problem, and no one notices us yet. Hydra workers walk by us but they are just going along with their day.

" Do we have any idea which room the scepter is in," I ask Cap.

He shakes his head and looks around, " I think we just need to see as we go."

Most doors aren't too badly secured. I'm assuming the scepter would be in one that is majorly secured. We keep walking and eventually, we see a door that is both locked and has a scanning thing to get in. I look around and see a guy with a badge walking the opposite way.

" I'll be right back," Rogers speaks before following the guy. He comes back a minute later with his badge.

I walk to the door and Steve scans the badge. We open the door and I freeze in shock. Wanda. She's sitting on the floor in the corner of the room. Her legs are by her chest and her arms are wrapped around them. She has long dark brown hair, it looks matted. She has dark bags under her eyes and her lips are chapped. All she's wearing is a light gray HYDRA gown. She looks up at me and she scoots closer to the wall.

" Are you going to hurt me again," She whimpers. Her accent is so much thicker than it was the last time I saw her. Before she died it was thick, it was noticeable. But it was fading a little. Now it's thick as if she just learned English.

" Tony...," Rogers says as he puts a hand on my shoulder.

I know we need to go, but that's my kid. She's hurting, they're hurting her.

" I'll never hurt you, kid. I promise. It's going to be okay," I tell her with a smile.

She has to be probably 14 maybe 15.

She frowns and tightens her arms around herself. We turn around to continue looking for the stone. I leave the door open so she can escape the cell. Rogers and I rush to find the scepter. We see some double doors and they are also locked and have a badge entrance. I scan the badge and we walk in. There is a black briefcase on a table, Rogers walks up to it and flips it open. The scepter is in it and the stone is glowing blue. He closes the case and we walk out of the room with it.

“ Okay we have to find something to do until the time goes out,” I state as we walk through the base.

“ Hey! Stop right there! What are you doing with the scepter,” A man with a Sokovian accent yells.

“ We uh- the Baron wanted us to bring it to him,” Steve lies.

Two men look at each other in confusion.

“ But he said that he wanted anyone to refrain from touching it until he tested the twins,” One of them says.

Cap and I glance at each other then I shoot a beam at them from my Iron Man suit. That gains the attention of other workers and they start running or trying to fight. Cap and I start running out of the building with the case, fighting any men along the way.

“ The twins are trying to escape,” Another voice yells. I stop and look back to see what’s going on.

Wanda and Pietro are free, they’re trying to run away from the guards. But two grab Pietro and one grabs Wanda. The two kids struggle to get free from
the men, shouting and crying out.

“ Let her go! Just take me,” Pietro cries out, but no one listens.

“ Tony come on we have to go,” Cap exclaims.

They put a Taser against Wanda’s neck and tase her. She cries out and falls to her knees. My heart drops and I have to divert my eyes. I want to help her but we’re already messing it up a bit. We run out of the building and away from it before we get caught.

Chapter Text

TONY STARK
**********************
Natasha's gone. She sacrificed herself so we could get the Soul stone. People are back, but we don't know if everyone is. So far Barton's wife called him so she's back. If the other Avengers are back, they're where they blipped. So Peter and Strange would be on Titan. Suddenly shots are being fired at the tower.

**************************************

We're failing. Very badly. Thanos is here, and so is his whole team. He’s trying to get the stones, he has none yet. All of us are down, but Rogers is getting up. I had a feeling this would happen. We would lose again. Cap stands up and limps towards Thanos. He stops when static appears in the coms. I furrow my eyebrows and we all look around.

“ Cap, it’s Sam can you hear me,” A familiar voice speaks in the coms.

Holy shit.

Steve’s eyes widen in shock and he looks up.

“ On your left,” Sam speaks as a portal opens from the side.

Magic portals start appearing everywhere. Tons of people start walking out of them. Some, Avengers that I’ve seen before. Some, I’ve never seen. Other sorcerers like Strange, Wakandans, Azgardians, and others. People who didn’t fight with us before are here. I see Stephen Strange, I see T’Challa, Sam, hell even Pepper is here in the suit I made for her. I don’t see Peter yet, but I know he’s here.

WANDA MAXIMOFF
******************************

I feel like I’ve been in this white place for days. Although I’m sure it’s only been 5 hours. I’ve just been sitting here, thinking over my life. I don’t know what else to do. I’m alone here. I’ve also been tracing the line on my neck. The spot that Thanos cut is on my skin. I can feel it, literally. I can feel the dried-up blood on it also. It’s no longer bleeding though. A few minutes ago I did get a flash of something. I’m not sure what it was. But I think…I think Nat is dead. I don’t know what to believe in here. But what I saw, was too real. Too detailed to be fake. I cried for a little, but then I remembered that I’m dead too. So maybe I’ll see her soon. Just as soon as I can figure out how to get out of this place. As if someone heard my thoughts I see a spark of gold in the air. I furrow my eyebrows and stand up hesitantly. I face the sparkle as it expands. And it opens a portal, one of Stephen’s portals. I can’t see the other side, it just looks red. But I’m so confused. I’m dead, what is happening? I reach my hand out to touch the portal and I am pulled through. I gasp and close my eyes, but then I hear yelling and shouting. I open my eyes and I am…on Earth? Wait what. There are so many people around, a battle is being fought. Oh my god, Thanos is here. But so are the Avengers. I see sorcerers, the Wakanda armies, and more. How am I here? Is this the future? Or is it now? I look around in shock and at my hands. I touch my neck and the cut is still there. Maybe I’m dead, but just watching, they can’t see me. But then an alien on Thanos’ team jumps on me and starts trying to bite me. I gasp and hold it away from me. Holy shit, I’m alive. I’m really alive. Do I still have my magic? I put my hand out and blast a ball of my magic into the alien’s face. And it immediately dies. I stand up shakily and cover my mouth in shock. How am I alive?

TONY STARK
**********************
The big guy is trying to get me, he throws me onto the ground and I grunt. I shoot him with my blaster but it does nothing to him. Suddenly a web pulls him back and Scott steps on him like a bug. Oh yeah, I forgot he was huge now. I stand up and Peter is running over to me.

“ Mr. Stark! Who are all these people,” He exclaims as he rushes over to me.

I laugh and shake my head, pulling the kid into a hug.

“ Oh…this is nice,” He says while hugging me back.

“ I’m glad you’re back Parker,” I tell him truthfully.

He smiles at me but it’s sad. Really sad. I don’t blame him. To him, the love of his life just died 5 hours ago. To me it was 5 years ago and I still miss her like hell, I can’t imagine how he feels.

“ She’s really gone isn’t she…,” He says with a frown.

I nod and pat his shoulder. “ Yeah…but we’re gonna avenge her Peter. We can’t let Thanos get the gauntlet. We aren’t gonna let her death be for nothing,” I state.

He nods before wiping a tear from his cheek.

WANDA MAXIMOFF
*******************************

I’m walking around in confusion. I feel so lost. What am I doing here? Thanos killed me, he got the stone, he won. I’m looking for someone I know, preferably Tony, Peter, or Strange. I still have my earpiece in my ear, so I can hear what the Avengers are saying.

“ Someone back up Spidey,” I hear Rhodey say on the coms.

I look around for the boy that I love and finally, I see him. He’s fighting the blue guy with a weapon, I thought he was dead. Anyways, I rush toward him but then I am thrown on the ground by another alien. I shoot the guy that’s fighting Peter with my magic and he flies backward. I kill the alien on top of me too. Once I stand up I look over and Peter is standing up, looking at me. His mask isn’t on, so I can see his eyes. The brown that I love so much, they have tears in them. His lip is quivering and I step toward him.

“ Wanda?,” He whispers shakily.

Tears form in my eyes also and I laugh, but it comes out as more of a sob. I run over to him and immediately he wraps his arms around me and lifts me off of the ground.

“ Oh my god, you’re here? I thought- I thought I was just seeing things,” He says frantically.

‘ Holy shit! Is that W-” Sam speaks over the coms before probably getting hit or something.

Peter pulls away and I stand up on the ground. His hands cup my cheeks and he wipes my tears away.

“ How are you here? You died! Thanos got the stone, y-you were dead,” He asks.

I shake my head because I truly don’t know either.

“ I don’t know. I did die. I know I did. Strange even told me. I felt it. Look, it’s there,” I tell him pointing at the cut on my neck.

He traces it with his thumb and looks into my eyes.

“ Please don’t leave again,” He begs.

I smile sadly and stroke his cheek, “ I’ll try.”

We look over and I see T’Challa running with the gauntlet. I look at Peter and his mask goes back onto his face.

“ You better come back to me,” He says before swinging off to help someone else.

Thanos hits T’Challa with his weapon and the gauntlet falls out of his hand. I use my powers to leap over to him. I land in front of the king, face to face with the man who killed me.

“ Wanda,” The king says in shock, before running off with the stones.

I bring my magic into my hands and my eyes glow red.

“ You tried to take everything from me,” I say angrily.

“ I don’t even know who you are,” Thanos replies.

I tilt my head and state, “ You will.”

I use my magic to slightly lift me into the air, along with two large piles of scraps and rocks. And I roughly throw the piles at him. I throw angry hexes at him with each step I take. He picks up his blade and holds it up to block my magic. As if it will help. He swings the weapon at me and I block it with my powers. He lowers it closer to my face and I gasp, using my magic to push the blade. Snapping it in half. I lift Thanos into the air and my eyes turn red once again. I start chipping apart his armor piece by piece so I can kill him. I will kill him.

“ Rain fire,” Thanos groans loudly.

“ But sir, our troops,” The blue man exclaims.

“ Just do it,” Thanos yells.

I’m not listening. I continue my plan. Suddenly shots and beams are fired from Thanos’ ship. I scream as I am thrown backward. I wrap my arms around my head, prepared to be hit. But I hear the clashing of bullets on metal and I open my eyes. My dad is standing in front of me in his suit, shielding me from any harm from the ship. Next I know a flying woman with powers has destroyed the ship and it’s no longer shooting at us. I stand up and I can see Tony’s face now. His eyebrow has a cut on it and his lip is busted. But he has a smile on his face.

“ You’re here. I don’t know how, I’m not gonna ask right now. But you’re alive. I missed you, kid,” He says before hugging me tightly.

I grin and hug him back.

“ I missed you too Dad,” I whisper against the metal.

He pulls away and strokes my hair. I look over just before the Maw flies over to us. He grabs me and starts flying in the air with me. I punch him in the face and he uses his telekinesis to bring sharp pieces of metal toward my back. One scratches me but I use my magic to stab him in the head. He falls to the ground dead and I catch myself with my powers on the floor. I look around and see Thor, Steve, and Tony fighting Thanos. He has the gauntlet now, he puts it on and the stones light up. Suddenly Tony grabs Thanos’ hand and tries to take the glove. But he pushes him away. Thanos raises his hand to snap, but when he does nothing happens. Because the stones aren’t in the glove, wait…where are they?

Tony sits on his knees and raises his hand. He has the stones, and they make a gauntlet on his own hand on top of the Iron Man suit. No…no that will kill him!

“ And I…am Iron Man,” My dad says before snapping his fingers.

I cry out and move to stop him but everything lights up. Thanos’ army starts to dust away, just as everyone else did all those years ago. And right now, I have no worries about me going with them. Just for my father. He falls to the ground against a large bolder, and Pepper is by him. I run over there and land on my knees by him. My heart is beating out of my chest.

“ Tony…dad,” I say frantically.

Peter lands near us and looks scared, and worried. Tony breathes heavily, and everyone has gone silent.

“ Hey, Dad it’s okay. It’s okay we won. You did it. You’re okay,” I say as tears stream down my cheeks.

Pepper puts her hand on my shoulder and kisses my hair. I hug him and his breathing is starting to slow. I let my tears fall rapidly. There’s nothing anyone else can do about this, Tony Stark is dying. But…I can do something. I think I can. The stones, the powers of them are too much for him. I know what I can do.

“ It’s okay honey,” Pepper whispers, but I’m not sure if she’s talking to me or Tony.

I stand up shakily, my knees almost giving out on me. I can’t lose him too, I can’t lose my dad.

Chapter Text

Tears stream down my cheeks and my hands shake. I don't know if it will work. I don't even know what I can do. I just have a feeling that I can help my dad, that I can save him. I bring my trembling hand out in front of me, in between Tony and me. I step back and Pepper looks at me.

" It's okay honey, I know," She says softly as she tries to touch my arm.

I bring my magic into my hands and she scoots back with a startled look on her face.

" I can save him," I whisper loud enough for her to hear.

I let my magic flow into Tony's body and I grasp the power of all 6 stones. I look over at Peter and Stephen who are standing next to each other. Then I look forward again. Suddenly I feel a large amount of pain as the power of the stones enter my body. The mind stone enters with no problem, but the others... They take their time. And it hurts, so much. I gasp and step back, but I continue to suck in the power. I feel my feet getting lifted off of the ground and I cry out in pain. I see colors surrounding me, the colors of the stones. Green, purple, blue, yellow, orange, and red. There's more red than anything because of my powers. I can feel them entering my body, every bit of it. I spread my arms out and look into the sky. I scream in pain as my whole body burns. It feels on fire, as if tons of needles are stabbing through my skin. Tears fall down my cheeks, no longer from sadness, but from pain. I clench my teeth but I'm still yelling. I look forward once again and I see a familiar figure. The same one I saw when I got my powers. But instead of the yellow color of the mind stone, it's red. It's me. I feel my suit changing, and something is on my head now. I feel different.

STEPHEN STRANGE
****************************

Wanda is taking in the power of the stones. She's trying to save Tony, and it's working. He's standing up now, the stones exciting his hand slowly. His wounds are being healed and his face is gaining color back. Wanda however is in the sky, the colors surrounding her and mixing with her powers. Going into her through her chest. She isn't in her usual suit anymore though. She's wearing a dark red sleeveless leotard type top then the bottom has dark red leather pants at the bottom. She has gloves that don't cover her fingers and they go to her elbow. But the most important thing is the horned headpiece on her head. It's familiar. I look over at Wong who is standing next to me, he glances at me too. He knows just as well as I do. She's the Scarlet Witch, she always has been. I should have known before. Peter is looking at her with worry, but also amazement. She lets out one last cry and her eyes squeeze shut, then all of the stones finish going into her body. Her eyes are closed as she floats back to the ground, her red magic still in her hands. Oh my god. She's supposed to be a myth, a legend. She can rewrite reality as she chooses. And she's here.

WANDA MAXIMOFF
*****************************
I open my eyes and I am met with my dad. He's okay, he's alive. He's standing up and looking at me. An unrecognizable emotion on his face. I look at my hands and outfit, it's different. I'm different. I'm the Scarlet Witch. I look at Peter, the boy I love. I can be with him, we can try again. Strange looks somewhat scared, or surprised, I can't tell. Suddenly I feel a gush of wind and I feel really tired and weak. I gasp and fall to my knees, holding my head and my stomach.

" Wanda," I hear Peter exclaim.

Tony gets to me first and he has his hand on my shoulder. Peter reaches me and wraps one arm around my waist.

" Hey, hey are you okay," He says frantically.

I hold onto his bicep to keep me stable.

" I'm fine...I'm just really tired," I whisper.

Peter stands up and keeps his arm around me to steady me. The battle is over. Thanos is gone for good, I look around and see Clint hugging a familiar redhead. Natasha? But she was dead! She must have felt my eyes on her because she turns around and smiles widely at me. She runs over and hugs me softly, sensing that I wasn't feeling the best. She pulls away and strokes my hair.

" You're alive," She says with a tear falling down her face.

" You're alive too," I say weakly with tears in my eyes.

She nods and looks at her hands, " I guess so. You brought me back Red. When you were saving Stark."

Did I bring her back to life? I don't really remember that. But I'm glad I did. People have started leaving now, the sorcerers have created portals to allow others to go back to where they were before. And they left also.

" What now," Peter asks Tony.

I look at Tony and he smiles a little before saying, " A few years back I had a place where I was planning on building a future compound. I thought I might as well have it built just in case."

" So...there's a compound we didn't know about? That we can just live in," Natasha laughs.

Tony nods and we all start to walk toward a Quin jet. We'll take that there. As we're walking I lean against Peter so I don't collapse. It's weird, as I was absorbing the stones I felt powerful, stronger. Then a minute after I randomly felt like this. Suddenly some people start running towards us. A woman with blonde hair runs to Nat and hugs her. She has a thick accent a little similar to mine. Peter gasps next to me as he sees Ned, who must have blipped also. He looks at me and I nod, telling him he can let go. I lean against the jet and watch as everyone hugs and is reunited with people. Clint's family is here, Laura and the kids. Tony is hugging Pepper, she was so worried about him. Steve, Bucky, and Sam are hugging each other. From what I can hear the blonde woman is Natasha's sister. Thor is talking to a woman from Azgard. Everyone has someone they're reunited with. But me...I only had them. Something feels weird, I feel weird. Like I don't belong here. I died, really died, I didn't blip away. I was killed, and now I'm here. I don't know how, I don't know why. I feel useless now, alone. I look at the ground and sigh shakily.

Who am I now?

******************************************

Us Avengers are sitting in the quin jet on the way to the new compound. It's still in New York, it's closer to Queens also. I'm sitting against the wall, Peter sitting by me. Everyone is silent, no one knows what to say. My arms are crossed and my head is in them. Peter has tried to talk to me, but I can't talk. I can barely move without something hurting.

" Hey...what's going on Wands," He says softly.

I whimper and look up at him. My eyes meet his and I smile weakly.

" I just feel r-really sore. I want to lay down," I tell him.

He frowns and opens his arms for me, telling me to come here. I push myself up and into his arms, leaning my head against his chest. He strokes my hair and I grab one of his hands. It's covered by his suit, but I still trace my fingers over his hand. Once we finally get to the new compound Peter helps me inside.

" Do you need anything Witchy," Sam asks me once we get to the floor our rooms are on.

I smile at him and shake my head, " No...I think I'll be fine. I'm just going to go to sleep and hope I feel better in the morning."

He nods and ruffles my hair, which somehow got curled when I consumed the powers of the stones. Peter and I walk toward where Tony says my room is. Once we get there Peter opens the door and we walk in. It looks identical to my room before. The compound is pretty similar to the tower. I sit on my bed and use my magic to change out of my suit into comfy clothes. Peter looks at his suit and I use my magic to change his clothes also. He laughs softly as I lay down in the bed. I motion for Peter to come over and he does so. He lays next to me and I lay my head on his chest.

" Wanda...," Peter whispers into the dimly lit room.

I can't sleep without a little light in the room. It reminds me of HYDRA and the cell. I don't have the energy to look up at him.

" Yes," I speak quietly.

" Are we back together now," He asks me.

I smile and look down, my cheeks flushing slightly.

" As long as you love me as you said before-," I start to say but he cuts me off.

" I do. I love you Wands," He tells me.

I giggle but then it hurts, so I whimper.

" I love you too. And I would love to be your girlfriend again," I whisper.

**************************************

I can't sleep. I woke up because I felt really cold. I cuddled closer to Peter but unlike usual, it didn't help. His arms are gently wrapped around me and he breathes slowly. I carefully remove his arms from around me, hoping not to wake him. But I should know better at this point. I'm sure if Peter weren't Spiderman he'd be a deep sleeper. But since he is, his eyes open quickly and he looks at me.

" Mmh...are you okay," He asks tiredly.

I nod and brush a strand of his brown hair out of his face.

" Yes, I'm just going to get a drink," I tell him.

" M' need help," He asks as he drifts to sleep again.

I smile and stand up shakily. Oh god, I forgot how much my body hurt. I walk to the kitchen while keeping my hand on the wall just in case. Once I get there I see my dad sitting at the counter looking at his cup of coffee.

" Dad...you couldn't sleep," I ask as I walk by him.

I grab a mug for hot chocolate, hoping it will warm me up.

" Yeah," He replies dryly.

I furrow my eyebrows but just brush it off. Maybe he's just tired.

" How are you feeling," I question once I make my drink.

" Normal. Nothing feels different. Which is weird since I almost died and YOU saved me," He mumbles.

I look up at him and tilt my head in confusion.

" Are you angry at me," I say hesitantly.

" Kind of, Wanda," He replies with his jaw clenched.

" What? Why? Did I do something," I say frantically.

He pinches the bridge of his nose and looks at me finally.

" You saved me, Wanda. That's what you did. You risked your life for me," He states.

What is he angry about? I saved him, I know he didn't want to die. Is he angry that I risked my life? I don't understand. Everyone is okay.

" I don't understand. Why are you so mad? I helped you," I reply defensively.

" But you could have died, Wanda! You risked your life for me, that's not how it's supposed to go! You can't do that," Tony exclaims a little too loudly.

I stand up also so Tony and I are face to face.

" Why not?! Everyone is alive and okay! I'm alive, you are, Natasha is, and everyone who blipped is. I-," I start to say but Tony cuts me off.

" No this is where you zip it alright! The adult is talking," He yells, definitely waking some of the other Avengers.

I look at him in shock and tears fill my eyes. He's never spoken to me this way.

" What if you had died today? Again! Cause don't forget you already died 5 years ago. But that's a different story. Cause dying today would have been on you. And I would've felt like that's on me. But it wouldn't be. Because you. Did. It," He shouts.

My lip quivers and I look down.

" Stark, what the hell," I hear the familiar voice of Natasha speak.

Tony sighs and rubs his eyes, " I'm sorry kid...I just-" He starts to apologize but I'm already walking away.

But a rush of pain hits out of nowhere and I wince, my knees almost collapsing if I hadn't caught myself on the table. Tony moves to help me but I put my hand out and stand up straight again.

" Leave me alone. I'm fine," I whisper before going back to my room.

Chapter Text

I get back to my room after arguing with Tony. With my dad. I understand that he was worried, but so was I. I walk into my room and Peter is standing by the door with his eyebrows furrowed.

" It's okay, come here," He says softly as he brings me into his arms.

I let a few tears fall from my eyes but I push the rest away as we lay down. Peter has his arms wrapped around me as we both drift off. I barely remember falling asleep. But I wake up and I feel terrible. I can hear Peter's soft snores and I just want to go back to sleep. But the sun is shining through the window, we must have forgotten to close the curtains yesterday before going to sleep. My head hurts really bad, my body aches, my stomach hurts, my throat, I've never felt this sick before. I need some water. I shift, trying to ignore the pain I feel. I use my magic to help me stand straight and walk out of the room quietly. I walk to the kitchen, a soft ringing starts to appear in my ears. Not a loud ringing. But it's there.

" Hey Red, how'd you sleep," Nat asks as she leans against the counter.

I can't answer, so I just hum softly in response.

I shakily grab a glass and fill it with water. I take a drink but it doesn't help much.

" Wanda...are you okay," I faintly hear Nat speak.

I whimper and squeeze my eyes shut, accidentally crushing the glass cup in my hand. I gasp and drop the pieces to the ground. I see Natasha's mouth move but I start trying to walk back in the direction of my room. But my knees give out on me. I fall to the ground and fall into a coughing fit. I see my best friend running over to me, Sam. Along with Steve. Sam kneels next to me and so does Nat.

" What's going on? Is she okay," Sam exclaims.

I put my hands on my face and tears brim my eyes. What's going on with me? I haven't been sick since before I got my powers. Normally my magic prevents me from getting too sick. Is this what it feels like to get the flu? I want to say something, but before I can everything goes black.

******************************^*^*********

My eyes open quickly and I'm back in my room. Peter is gone, and I'm freezing. Everything feels the same, it hurts so badly. Was it a dream? I see my boyfriend walk into the room as if he could hear my thoughts. He has a bowl of soup in his hand, but the smell of it makes my stomach hurt more.

" Hi Wands, how are you feeling," He asks me gently.

I shake my head slightly and he frowns, setting the bowl on the nightstand.

" Cold," I manage to whisper, I shiver as I say that.

He furrows his eyebrows and touches my forehead with the back of his hand. He pulls his hand back quickly and winces.

" Holy- Wanda you're burning up. You're not supposed to be that hot," He says frantically.

I whimper and tighten my grip around my blankets.

" Friday, tell the others to come in here, please. It's urgent," my boyfriend says.

He looks at me and pushes my hair out of my face.

" I'm sorry," I say shakily, a tear falling down my face.

He shakes his head and smiles softly, " It's okay baby. You probably just have the flu or something. You'll be okay."

" What's going on Underoos," Tony asks as he walks into the room. Worry is already on his face.

I avoid eye contact with him because of last night. I'm not up for any more arguing or any conversations.

" She said she was freezing so I touched her forehead and it's burning. Like literally," Peter states.

Tony does the same thing as Peter and touches my forehead, and the same thing happens. He gasps and pulls away.

" Shit," He curses and runs his fingers through his hair.

I feel an uncomfortable tightening in my stomach and I wince, putting my hands against it. I hear them talking about getting Helen Cho. But then the ringing appears in my ears again. Oh god, I'm going to be sick. I quickly get out of bed despite the pain I feel and I push Peter out of the way. I rush to the bathroom in my room and slam the door open. I land on my knees and immediately I throw up into the toilet. My eyes are closed as I do so, I don't want to see. Once I feel like I'm done for now I pull away and open my eyes. I look at my hand and it has blood on it, from my mouth. My eyes widen and I look into the toilet. I threw up blood? Oh my god...what's happening to me?

" Oh my god...Get Cho. Get her now," Tony exclaims to Cap as he stares at me with worry.

I realize that I'm going to be sick again so I lean over the toilet and let it out. This time I feel the warm touch of Peter's hand on my back, rubbing it in circles. And with his other hand, he holds my hair back.

" It's okay Wands, it's okay," He whispers.

Once I'm sure I'm done I lean my head against Peter's chest and cry. Next, I know I'm back in my bed, Peter and Tony sitting next to me. Helen is now in here, she's using her tablet to do a full body scan to see the inside.

" So far I'm not seeing anything too out of the ordinary. There's some extra radiation in her body, but that's somewhat normal with her powers. However, this much radiation could be what's causing her sickness. There's no telling how much it has affected her though, because everything else seems perfectly normal," Doctor Cho explains.

" Normal?! She threw up blood! That's not normal," My dad says frantically.

I sigh shakily and move closer to my boyfriend. He looks down at me and strokes my hair.

" Believe me I know, Mr. Stark. But if there is nothing irregular that I can see, then I'm not sure what to do. I can check on her regularly and see if anything changes or starts to stand out to me. But that is all I can do," She tells Tony.

He curses under his breath and nods. I feel myself going back to sleep on Peter's lap as he strokes my hair.

******************************************

I hear people talking as I feel myself gaining consciousness.

" She needs you right now Tony, her dad. We don't know what's going on with her. She's been asleep for 13 hours," I hear the voice of Nat speaks.

" I know Romanoff, believe me, I know. And I know I fucked up by saying that stuff to her. I'm going to apologize. I just have to apologize when she's not super sick," Tony says.

I open my eyes and sit up slowly, preparing myself for the pain. But it doesn't come. Instead, I feel really good, amazing actually. What? That makes no sense I was just terrible 13 hours ago.

" Hey kiddo, how are you feeling," Tony asks me once he notices me.

" Um...great actually. I-I don't know how but I feel amazing," I laugh breathlessly.

Tony looks at Nat and she smiles.

" That's good. As long as you're feeling better. Peter is in the kitchen, I think he was waiting for you to wake up," She says before walking out of the room.

Tony sits next to me on the bed and I look down nervously. I know he was worried, I had already died 5 years ago and I just came back. Only to risk my life for his. But he also doesn't understand where I'm coming from. I can't lose anyone else. I've lost my mama, my real father left us and became a terrible person, I lost my brother. I was alone before the Avengers. And if I lost my dad again, the man who took me in when I needed comfort. The man who stayed up late at night to make sure I was okay from a nightmare. If I had lost him, I wouldn't have been able to take it. I couldn't just sit there and watch him die, knowing I could try to do something about it.

" I'm sorry Wanda, I know going off like that was wrong. I never should have yelled like that or said anything like that. I- shit I'm about to ruin my reputation here- I was just scared, alright. I really was. I lost you 5 years ago kid, and I felt terrible. Cause I couldn't stop him from killing you. I had to just sit there and watch. Then you came back and risked your life just to save me. And it scared the shit out of me," He explains.

I smile and nod, finally looking up at him.

" I know. I'm sorry too. I'm sorry I worried you. But...I couldn't lose you too. I've lost so many people and I just couldn't lose my dad," I tell him with my voice cracking.

He pulls me into a tight hug and I sigh with content.

" You won't lose me, kid, I promise," He tells me softly.

Suddenly someone runs into my room and Peter is standing there with his eyes wide.

" Wanda? You're okay," He says frantically.

Tony and I pull away and I look at my boyfriend with a smile. I nod and he gets on the bed only to wrap his arms around me. He sighs in relief and I hug him back tightly.

" You scared the shit out of me, again," He whispers against my neck.

" I'll leave you two alone," Tony laughs before leaving the room and closing the door.

" I'll try not to scare the shit out of you anymore," I giggle.

He pulls away and his eyes observe my face, " You're sure you're okay? Like fully? Nothing feels weird or hurts?"

I shake my head and shrug, " Nope. I'm great. It might have just been the aftermath of the infinity stones. But I'm fine now."

He grins and kisses me softly, he puts one hand on my cheek, and the other stays holding him up on the bed. I smile into the kiss and once we pull away I lean my forehead against his.

" I need to take a shower," I state as I stand up.

I walk over to the bathroom door and glance behind me at my boyfriend. I smile shyly and fiddle with the bottom of my shorts.

" Do you wanna join me," I ask him flirtatiously before opening the door and winking at him.

His eyes widen and his cheeks flush red. I love how I can make him nervous. We make each other nervous sometimes and I love it. There are times when he is feeling bold so he says something that gets me extra flustered. Or times like these where I'm bold and suggested we take a shower together. He stands up immediately and nods quickly before taking off his shirt and chasing after me.

Chapter Text

I lay in bed once again, feeling the same as I did 20 hours prior. It's 3 AM and I feel like my whole body is on fire on the inside. Yet I feel so cold. Peter is lying next to me asleep peacefully, he's only in his boxers so I can feel a bit of his body heat. But it's not helping at all. I don't understand, I was better! I felt so much better. And it's back again. My head, my body, my legs, my throat. It all hurts. I don't want to wake up Peter, he was so worried before. Tears stream down my cheeks as I stare at the ceiling. I squeeze my eyes shut and I hear a loud crash. All of the pictures and paintings on the walls fell off due to my powers. Peter shoots up and looks down at me.

" Wanda? Are you crying? Hey, what's going on," He says frantically.

He reaches to push a strand of hair behind my ear but curses when he feels my forehead once again.

" Not again. I thought you were better," He says with worry.

My dad isn't here right now, he said he had to go somewhere with Pepper. Suddenly my body feels really hot, I'm no longer cold. And I feel the food I ate earlier starting to come up. I don't even recall standing up I just appear in front of the toilet and once again I see blood pour from my mouth. It's terrible.

" Peter," I cry out as I lean against the wall.

" Shit, shit, shit. FRIDAY is telling everyone else but Tony isn't here Wands," He tells me.

I whimper and pull on my shirt uncomfortably. I'm so hot. I turn around and open the shower door with my magic, I scoot in there and use my powers to turn on the cold water too and it immediately starts pouring on me. I sob into my hands and curl up, holding my stomach in pain. I look at my boyfriend and he has tears in his eyes. Natasha, Sam, Steve, Bucky, and Bruce are in here now also. Peter is halfway in the shower with me, getting soaked himself. He has his arms wrapped around me.

" She's sick again?! I thought she was better," Sam exclaims.

I cry into my boyfriend's shoulder and he strokes my wet hair. My whole body hurts so much. I just want to feel better. I want to be okay.

" I'm calling Strange. He's gotta know what's going on," Bruce states before walking away and pulling out his phone.

" I'll call Tony," Cap says before stepping back.

*FLASHBACK*

Peter and I are sitting at a table in the middle of a restaurant. It's not too fancy, but it's also not plain. Peter found it and planned it as a surprise. This is our first real date that wasn't just on top of the Chrysler Building. I'm wearing a skin-tight plain white shirt with one of my many black skirts. Peter has a white T-shirt on and blue jeans. He doesn't wear plain T-shirts too often. But when he does, oh does he look good. They show off his muscles so well. I'm also wearing the necklace he got me on our 5-month anniversary. It's a heart but with a red jewel in the middle. And on the back where there is a little gold part at the top, engraved in it is P + W. I cried when he gave it to me. We sit across the table from each other with our hands under the table, lightly holding each other's hands.

" Did I tell you that you look beautiful," Peter asks me with a smile.

I look up from the menu and my cheeks flush red.

" You might have mentioned it a few times, but I could hear it again," I giggle.

" Well you do, you look pretty. I like what you did with your hair. It's nice," He says shyly.

I tuck a strand of my brown hair behind my ear and look down. Nat helped me put it half up and half down, and I also really like it. Once we order the waiter takes the menus and I feel Peter's eyes on me. I look at him and my eyes meet his.

" What? Do I have something on my face," I ask.

He shakes his head with a big smile and traces his thumb over my hand.

" No...sorry, I'm just- admiring...you," He stutters.

I grin and roll my eyes playfully, " Oh stop..."

" It's true, I can't help it. I love you," He says with a huge smile.

" I love you more," I tell him with a small laugh.

*NOW*

I wrap my arms around my belly as I lean against the shower wall. I don't want to hurt Peter by leaning on him if I'm too hot or too cold. I still feel like I'm on fire though. I sob and my nails scratch at my shirt to try and get the itchy feeling away.

" Hey Wands! Can you talk to me? I'm here," I hear a voice speak.

I open my eyes but my sobbing doesn't stop, It's Tony. He's on speakerphone. Cap takes a step closer to me with his phone but it's as if I can feel the radiation and energy flowing toward me. And it hurts so much. I scream in pain and scoot closer to my boyfriend who is fully wet and under the water trying to comfort me.

" Strange is on his way," Banner exclaims.

I'm getting that feeling again. The one I felt after the battle. Not knowing who I am, and where I belong. I know that I'm the Scarlet Witch. I know that...what else do I know?

" Hey, hey, hey. She's shaking. It's okay baby, I got you, Strange is gonna be here to help you," Peter assures me.

I grip his shirt and whine, squirming around trying to rid myself of the pain. But it doesn't work.

" It hurts, Peter it hurts. Please...help me," I cry out.

" I know, I'm so sorry. I-I don't know what to do," My boyfriend says frantically.

" Let me try and talk to her again Cap," Tony exclaims on the phone.

Steve walks over to me with the phone in his hand once again. I start to feel the same pain from the energy of the phone and I whimper.

" Wanda? Hey kiddo, can you tell me what's going on? What're you feeling," my dad asks softly.

Cap takes one step closer and I scream louder than I ever have before.

" NO! NO! NO! Please stop, get it away," I screech.

Natasha takes the phone from Cap and throws it. I stop screaming but I'm still sobbing. Peter moves to touch my face but I shake my head and scoot away.

" Don't...don't touch me. I don't want to hurt you. Please," I whisper.

Peter frowns and gently places his hand on my arm, he's not affected.

" You won't hurt me, Wands," He assures me.

I suddenly feel my whole body going fuzzy. My heart drops and I start shaking uncontrollably. I'm still conscious but I'm hyperventilating, I feel like I can't breathe.

" Wanda! Hey, stay with me! Look Strange is here! He's here, can you hear me," My boyfriend cries out while cupping my cheeks.

I feel a different magic pick me up and then I'm on my bed. Stephen is here. I can barely see things around me. It's like it's going in and out of focus. Strange is standing at the foot of my bed and the Avengers are surrounding us. I feel Strange's magic flow over my body, probably trying to check what is wrong.

" It's the stones, they're making her sick. The stones and her powers aren't working together. Either she needs to get them out or I don't know what will happen," Stephen explains.

Peter is holding my hand and I squirm around sobbing.

" Wanda you need to use your powers and get those stones out of you," Strange tells me.

I cry out as my magic burns my body.

'Don't listen to him, Wanda. He just wants to power all to himself.

A voice whispers in my head. I shake my head frantically and clench my fists.

" I can't, I can't do it," I whine.

" Is her skin supposed to be turning that color...Strange," Sam exclaims.

I look down and my skin everywhere is glowing red. Oh god. I feel my magic making me hover over the bed more and I scream. I can't hear anything else but my scream and the buzzing in my ears. I suddenly feel myself being slammed onto the bed. I gasp and throw my head back against the pillow. Stephen's magic is holding me down.

" Wanda! Breathe! I know it hurts but I'm just trying to help you," He assures me.

I groan and kick my feet trying to get out.

" Peter?! Peter where are you," I cry while looking around.

My boyfriend stands next to me, tears in his eyes as he looks at me with worry.

" I'm here baby, I'm right here. Everything's okay. Look at me, look. I'm here. I know it hurts, I’m so sorry I can’t help you. But Strange can, you have to let him Wands. I need you to be okay, I need you to let him help you," Peter whispers to me softly.

I look at him and my lip quivers, " I feel like I'm dying Peter I-," I start to speak but I stop.

I look at the corner as I see my twin brother.

" Pietro," I whisper with wide eyes.

" What? Pietro isn't here Red...Do you see him," Nat asks hesitantly.

I keep my eyes on the boy in the corner of the room and he starts coming closer.

" Wandika. Sestra. It will be over in a second. Just let the stones control you. Let them in. It will only make you stronger," Pietro tells me.

I whine and he touches my hand softly. My breathing catches in my throat. How is he touching me? How is he here?

" You're scared they're going to change you, sister. I know. But they'll only make you a better version of yourself. You will see. You just have to let them in. Let them consume you," He says quietly.

" Wanda?! Can you hear me," I hear Stephen shout.

Let them consume me...I can do that.

Chapter Text

I wake up to a warm ray of sunshine on my face. I slowly open my eyes and hum. I sit up and look around the room. No one is in here, the door is closed. I wonder if Peter slept in his room last night. I smile and quietly jump out of my bed. I'm only wearing a tank top and shorts since I was so hot last night before I went unconscious. I quietly walk out of my room and down the hallway careful not to wake anyone up. I finally reach Peter's room and I sneak in there. I softly close the door behind me and my eyes land on my boyfriend asleep in his bed. He has a white t-shirt on and the blanket is covering the rest of his body.

I climb onto his bed and sit next to him. I press a soft kiss to his cheek, then move to the other side, then his forehead, then the tip of his nose, then the corner of his mouth. His eyes shoot open and he looks at me.

" Wanda? What- What are you doing out of bed," He asks frantically.

I giggle and sit on his lap as he sits up. I run my fingers through his hair, trying to fix it out of its messy state.

" The real question is why are you all the way in your room," I ask before softly kissing him.

His hands are on my waist but he pulls away from the kiss after a second. He cups my cheeks and his eyes search mine.

" You're feeling okay? Nothing hurts or anything? Did what Strange do help you," He questions.

" I'm perfectly fine," I assure him while tracing his jawline.

" You were just sick Wands, like really sick," He says.

I hum and start to kiss down his jaw, which he's starting to like as I do so.

" I know, If you really care that much then I can just kiss everywhere but your lips," I smirk against his neck.

He gives in, sliding his hands into my hair and smashing our lips together. I hum and run my hands down his chest, but that's when he quickly pulls away.

" Wait, wait, wait. Let's just wait until later okay? I just want to make sure you're okay," Peter tells me while pressing our forehead together.

I sigh dramatically and nod, kissing his cheek before hopping off of his lap.

" Well let's go eat something then! I'm starving," I giggle.

I stand up grab his hand making him stand up with me. I walk happily to the living room, glad that my life is back to being somewhat normal again. I let go of Peter's hand and use my powers to start making breakfast in the kitchen. No one is in the living room, which is odd but I'm sure it's whatever.

" It's only 7 AM?? You never wake up this early," Peter exclaims while looking at his phone.

My eyes widen but then I laugh, " Wow, I guess I got a lot of rest."

" Right... do you want any help," My boyfriend asks me.

I shake my head with a smile and kiss his cheek before continuing to use my powers and mix the pancake mix. I hum a soft tone and steal some glances at my boyfriend who is definitely texting Tony right now.

" Wanda?? Oh my god, how are you feeling? You look good," I hear Cap exclaim while running in here.

I look up and smile, flipping the pancakes on the pan.

" I feel good, amazing even," I tell him as I turn to grab the eggs.

I accidentally drop one and it cracks on the floor. So I use my powers to reverse the egg and it's back in my hand without a crack.

" What...How did you do that Wands," Peter asks in shock.

I just shrug and finish up making breakfast. I love the way the stones are making me feel. I feel so energetic and confident. My powers feel so loose and I'm in control of them. I put a plate of food in front of Peter and scoot one towards Steve.

" I think I'm going to go train. I haven't been able to for a while," I tell the boys.

" You want me to come with you? We can train together," My boyfriend asks.

I smile and shake my head, " No it's okay! Enjoy your breakfast."

I go to the training floor and put my hair up in a ponytail. I turn on one of the robots that Tony made specifically for me. It starts shooting lasers at me and I start blocking it with my magic. I feel a rush of anger come over me, and I'm not sure why. But then I blast the robot with my magic and it shatters into tiny pieces. Oh shit. My jaw drops and I cover my mouth, but then a few small laughs escape and I walk towards the door to leave. Suddenly I hear a whisper, it's slightly quiet but it also sounds close to me. I look around the room but I don't see anything. But then my eyes land on the glass wall near the door. I step closer to it and my reflection is more clear. Except it's not me exactly. The person looking back at me is angry, she's different. Her eyes are red and she's in the Scarlet Witch outfit. She has a mischievous smirk on her face. What's going on?

" Who are you," I whisper hesitantly.

" I'm you silly. You know that, you just don't want to admit it," She says lowly.

I step back, getting goosebumps on my skin. No, she's not. I'm not angry, I'm Wanda Maximoff. She's not. I quickly leave the room and rush onto the elevator, trying to catch my breath. I'm going to pretend like that never happened. It wasn't important. It wasn't real. Once I get back up to the main floor the elevator opens and all of the Avengers are here. Tony's here!

" Dad," I exclaim while running toward him.

I hug him tightly and he hugs me back.

" I see you're feeling better. Let's hope it stays this time," He says with a sigh of relief.

I pull away with a smile and look around the room, but my eyes land on a little girl standing next to Pepper. My eyes widen and Tony glances between me and her.

" Wanda, honey. I've been waiting for the right time to tell you. But this is our daughter, Morgan. She was born about a year after everyone blipped," Tony tells me.

My heart drops and I don't know what emotion is flowing through my body. Am I mad? Why do I feel mad? I'm not mad, she's a little girl she looks so sweet.

' He has replaced you, Wanda'

That voice...it's right. He has a real daughter now, he probably doesn't even want me as his daughter anymore.

" Oh...okay. I understand," I say quietly with my voice quivering.

" Understand what, Wanda," Pepper questions softly.

" You guys have a real daughter now, you don't want me to be your daughter anymore. I understand it's okay. I'll stop calling you-," I start to say but Tony cuts me off and shakes his head while pulling me into another hug.

" No, no, no. That is not what's happening. We're still your parents Wanda. We adopted you, we would never just replace you. You're my kid. Ever since Morgan was born we've told her all about you. She loves you already. We love you," my dad assures me.

I sigh in relief and push away the tears that were about to fall.

——————————————————————

I'm in my room now drying off my hair, I took a very much-needed shower. I'm only wearing the towel around my body. Once my hair is dry I go to the mirror in my room and look at my face. I've been seeing myself differently since I came back. I sometimes don't recognize the person I see. I know I'm Wanda Maximoff. I know I'm the Scarlet Witch. But I don't feel the same as I used to. I don't know how to explain it. And not only that I've been seeing some weird things lately. Like seeing Pietro when I was sick, and my reflection earlier today. It's weird, but I choose to brush it off. Because everything just got calm, I don't want to make a big deal out of nothing. My dad told me that tomorrow the press wants to interview me. Just me, which is not something I've done before. So I'm pretty nervous. But my parents will be there so it's fine. I hear a knock at my door suddenly and I look away from the mirror.

" Yes," I reply out loud.

" Can I come in Wands," I hear Peter speak.

" Yeah," I tell him while starting to run a brush through my hair.

Peter opens the door and then closes it immediately after. He plops down on my bed and keeps his eyes on me. I look at him from the corner of my eye and I giggle.

" Hi Peter," I smile at him.

He gives me a wide grin that makes me melt causing me to put the brush down.

" Hi beautiful," He says softly.

I walk over to him and stand in front of him, then he sits up.

" Are you going to sleep in here tonight," I question with a fake pout.

He laughs and puts his hands on my hips, looking at me with a hint of hunger in his eyes.

" Of course I am, I wouldn't want you to be cold without me," He replies.

I step back from him and I put my hands on the tied part of the towel that's keeping my body hidden. Peter's eyes widen and I see him shift on the bed. I could feel that he wanted me as soon as he came in here. And I need him.

" Are you going to touch me now," I whisper seductively.

He gulps and nods frantically, keeping his eyes on mine. That is until I drop the towel from around my body and it pools around my feet. Peter's eyes roam over my body, specifically on my breasts.

" You don't understand how much I've missed you," He says lowly

" I can imagine," I respond while climbing onto his lap.

I sit down and run my fingers through his hair.

" You're so pretty. I don't know what I would've done without you," He says against my lips.

I whimper as his hands grip my butt. I kiss him passionately and he hums into my mouth.

" Please," I whine into his mouth, finally pulling my hands away from his hair and moving them to the bottom of his shirt.

He pulls away for a second so I can pull his shirt off. I run my hands down his abs and he slides his hands up my back. I press kisses down his jaw, then his neck, then I start kissing his chest. I get to his pajama pants and I get on my knees on the floor, then I look up at him. He whimpers and shifts on the bed. I start to slowly drag down his pants and he lifts his hips so I can fully get them off. I smirk at him as I pull down his boxers also. His erection springs out and he sighs in relief. I place soft kisses on his member and he whines, throwing his head back.

" Wands, sh-shit," He groans.
