@smiley *sighs* but Peggy is still a sweet woman…and Steve loves her so very much…can’t you be happy for him??? 😂
@keilah-h honestly, if Nat wasn’t dead…I’d only ship her with Bruce or Bucky.She and Steve are fun…but idk, i’m not the biggest fan of Nat/Steve, lol
honestly tho, I think Natasha/Bucky would make a pretty cute couple.
(but since Nat is dead…I’m a huge fan of Bucky/Sarah or Bucky/Yelena, lol)

I have two more chapters!!
and I’m sorry to all the Pietro fans
Chapter 13
“With this arc reactor, we should be able to break the barrier,” Bruce stated. He had just joined the team.
“If only you had been here earlier,” Steve teased.
“I was… busy,” Bruce would hate to admit that he was grieving himself.
“Well, thanks to you we can get the stones and return them,” Steve looked around, everyone else was inside watching the show, and Pietro.
Clint was having the hardest time with it all, and he was yet to tell any of them what Wanda had said to him, but whatever it was, it had changed him.
“Do you think we’re doing the right thing?” Steve asked looking at Bruce.
Bruce turned from where he was working, and looked at Steve, straight in the eyes. “Truthfully… I don’t know,”
It had hit Bruce hard when Nat didn’t come back, and watching Wanda and the hurt she had experienced, it was impossible to look at this situation and not feel a little guilty.
“Neither do I,” Steve filled with guilt, this just didn’t feel right, but letting her live in peace with the stones didn’t either.
“I can tell you this… if these stones don’t get returned, universes will be greatly altered,” Bruce said in his usually scientific way.
“So we don’t really have a choice,”
Bruce gave Steve a depressed look, giving him the answer.
Wanda’s reality would have to come down.
~*~
“So… who’s this?” Sam pointed to Pietro on the screen.
“Her twin brother,” Bucky and Peter answered at the same time.
“And how do you guys know that?” Sam knew they never meant him.
“We did our research,” Peter shrugged.
“He’s also the man who died for… me,” Clint stated, guilt hitting him hard.
Wanda’s grief after Pietro’s death had been made so small by everyone, that it almost felt like his death hadn’t really affected anyone… which was the furthest from the truth.
“Losing a sibling… a twin…” Sam couldn’t even finish his sentence.
“It should be a pain no one has to know, Wanda’s pain should be a pain no one has to feel,” Bucky wiped away a few small tears from his eyes.
“But she did, and… this is her running from it,” Clint’s voice sounded weak and shaky.
“What’s going on out there?!”
Everyone let out a sigh as Hayward entered the room.
Bucky clutched his fists, ready to give this guy a piece of his mind.
“What’s going on is you were going to make Vision a weapon!” Clint beat Bucky to the punch, taking a few steps closer to Hayward.
“I was doing what was best for our country,” Hayward protested.
“And destroying a girl while you did it, you knew seeing Vision would do something to Wanda,” Sam crossed his arms, prepared to fight if needed.
“I had no idea it would be so traumatic,”
“Yes you did, she just didn’t do what you were hoping her to do,” Clint looked back at the screen, Wanda was talking with Vision and Pietro, looking happier than she ever had. “You didn’t think she had been through enough?”
“I was building something to protect us,”
“A suit of armor around the world?” Bruce asked stepping into the tent.
“We tried that…” Clint fought back tears, pointing to Pietro on the screen. “And his death was the… conclusion,”
Hayward looked around at the Avengers and laughed. Then he looked at his men and grinned. “I want twenty snipers in there, we’re taking her down,”
Clint could contain his anger anymore and knocked Hayward to the ground with his fist.
Every S.W.O.R.D. agent pointed their guns at him.
But the Avengers had his back and pulled their weapons out.
The S.W.O.R.D. agents quaked of fear, dropped their guns, and put their hands up.
“Good, now I want Hayward put in the van, and locked there, and every gun will be put in a different locked van,” Steve directed.
~*~
“We’re almost there!” Bruce shouted while he was testing the arc reactor ray.
“Perfect, this should be the most peaceful way to get the stones,” Steve said.
“Steve! I need to talk to you,” Clint gestured for Steve.
“Coming,”
When Steve reached Clint, he couldn’t help but notice how sad he looked.
“What is it?”
“I can’t do this…” Clint gestured to the giant ray gun.
“Clint, we need those stones,”
“I just got off the phone with my wife and my son,” Clint couldn’t hide his pain. “I can’t do that to her, I lost my family during the snap and… I can’t do that to her, not when she…”
Clint hesitated.
“When she’s almost like a daughter to you,” Steve interrupted.
“I can’t…”
“We don’t have a choice… and we need you, we need everyone, but we won’t hurt her,”
“You don’t think losing her children and husband won’t hurt her?” Clint and Steve just stared at each other.
“I wish… there was some other way…” That’s the best Steve could do.
“I’m not sure I can do that,” Clint needed to think about this. He wanted so badly to turn around and leave the Avengers to do what they wanted and leave him out of it, leave him out of the hard part.
Chapter 14
Wanda looked at Pietro, closing her eyes, tears streaming down her eyes. Pietro wiped them away, looking at his sister, smiling at her.
“Time to kick me out,” Pietro stated, breaking the silence.
“I don’t want to, I really don’t,”
“Wanda, someday this whole world will come tumbling down, I’m just the first step,”
Wanda looked her brother in the eyes. “When I lost you, I lost a huge part of me,”
“And when Vision died?”
“I just lost it,” Wanda looked around. “I don’t think I’m completely sane anymore,”
Pietro let out a soft chuckle. “No one is completely sane when they’re grieving, some just hide it better,”
“Now I remember that you’re not a therapist,” Wanda stated smirking. Her face then went dark, looking at her brother. “It’s just like this wave washing over me again and again. It knocks me down, and when I try to stand up, it just comes for me again. … It’s just going to drown me.”
“You’ll survive, you always do,”
“I wish I wouldn’t, someday I just want this world to end,”
“I thought this was your world, or have you come to terms that this will end also?”
“No, this reality won’t end, because you’ve reminded me how dreadful the actual world is,”
Everything went silent… until Pietro sighed, knowing it was time.
“You didn’t see that coming,”
Pietro’s face went pale as he stepped out of the force field. Right before he turned to dust, his voice went back to his Sokovian accent. And bullet holes showed in his blue torso.
“Pietro! Wait!” Wanda called out, as she watched him fade. She let out a sob. “W-wait…” Wanda couldn’t speak, just sobbing.
“You’re my twin…”
Wanda fell to her knees, remind how much grief could hurt, remind how cruel the real world was.
It was like being in a warm house for days, and then going outside and feeling the cold air on your skin.
After a few minutes of crying, at the edge of the barrier of her reality and the other reality. No one could see her here, and it was better that way.
Something hit the barrier hard, making the ground shake, she looked to see an odd-looking canon set up. It was shooting a blue pulse at the barrier, slowly breaking it.
And of course, it was by the S.W.O.R.D. tent.
~*~
“This should break it,” Bruce stated.
Clint crossed his arms, this was the last thing he wanted to do, but he knew it was for the best.
“Wait!” Steve shouted, seeing Wanda float through the barrier.
She was wearing the same suit she had worn when she had fought Steve, a week ago.
“Wanda!” Steve called out, looking at her.
She tilted her head, her eyes still red from tears. “I gave you an order, I kept my end but you didn’t keep yours,”
Wanda landed right in front of Clint. “I told you to let me live in peace,”
“We need those stones,” It was all Clint could manage, it didn’t seem fair in his mind or Wanda’s.
“And I need Vision,” Wanda looked at everyone.
She had just been reminded of grief, and she couldn’t do it, she couldn’t face the loss.
“I’m so sorry… about all of this,” Peter stated.
“You’re a good kid, Peter, I was once a good kid too,” Wanda used her powers to pull the arc reactor out of the machine. It wasn’t the only reactor, Tony had made a hundred. “But once you see the cruel world, it changes you,”
Wanda crumbled the arc reactor.
“Don’t make yourself a villain, Wanda,” Bucky protested.
“Is wanting your Husband back being a villain?”
Everyone went silent.
Clint finally spoke up, looking Wanda straight in the eyes. “Yes, when I lost my family… I did things I’m not proud of,”
Wanda went pale, looking around, this time differently. She could see fear in everyone, they were scared… of her. Wanda had always been scared of her powers and the monster inside of her, and this only proved it.
“Please… I don’t want anyone hurt,” Wanda used the stones to push everyone yards away from her. Then she made the force field wider, surrounding the tent.
Do me a favor…. Tell Cress I meant it

*does Wanda’s head tilt*
I’m just going to pretend you didn’t say that
Do me a favor…. Tell Cress I meant it
-ThorneAugust 3, 2023 at 7:26 pm #152921Awwww, so sadd 😭😭😭😭
@keilah-h @miley @freedomwriter76Wow, there’s so many different ships xD I like Nat and Bruce together, and Wanda and Vision… but not the biggest fan of Steve and Peggy, lol. Maybe if I watched the first movie again I would feel different xD

August 3, 2023 at 7:31 pm #152923Question
would y’all (I say Y’all like I’m southern but I’m not XD) like me to make a Bruce and Nat fanfic, because not going to lie I have an idea…
also, I’m trying to think what time frame it would take place in…
and it would probably involve other Avengers too
because I can’t write a fic without Steve and Wanda XD (not together, that’s Freedom’s thing)
Do me a favor…. Tell Cress I meant it
-ThorneAugust 3, 2023 at 7:42 pm #152924@freedomwriter76
Aw, I’m sorry XD I just prefer Nat… but I like her with Bruce lol (or Clint, if he wasn’t already married) so, yeah, I guess it works out.
Btw, how’s your ww2 fanfic going? XD
Lol, it’s so much easier tho! I don’t say it a lot irl, even tho I do live in the south xD
Oohhhh yes please 😅 You could always do a futuristic one, or do historical like Freedom is… idk.
And lol, don’t y’all ever get tired of using the same characters… so much? XD I think I would, but you guys just keep making more fanfics, lolol.

And lol, don’t y’all ever get tired of using the same characters… so much? XD I think I would, but you guys just keep making more fanfics, lolol.
*Looks at you* Have you seen me with Wanda XD I’ll never get tired of writing her or Steve XD
but it breaks my heart that Wanda is so… she’s dark in the comics and dark in the new stuff
so I hang onto the Age of Ultron-Endgame Wanda
and Steve is just good in every movie
*Looks up at unnecessary rant* XD
also sorry I left, I was watching Jesus Revolution, the best movie ever!!! totally recommend
Do me a favor…. Tell Cress I meant it
-ThorneAugust 3, 2023 at 10:57 pm #152930Ahem…
this idea came to me, I think… from a youtube short XD don’t ask
Kerren (10)
Kerren is originally discovered by Captain Marvel in space, where young Kerren got powers from a cosmic blow that is more powerful than anything Captain Marvel has ever seen. But she doesn’t know anything about controlling them.
Carol knows the kids need a nice place to stay… and she debates about sending her to Nick Fury but he doesn’t exactly like kids, and it doesn’t seem like the best option.
So she gives her to the Avengers, where the Avengers can help her, but she has a certain couple in mind for this beautiful girl… and that’s Nat and Bruce.
this takes place six years after infinity war, where they won
Do me a favor…. Tell Cress I meant it
-ThorneAugust 3, 2023 at 11:00 pm #152931And I forgot about the main part
Kerren struggles with controlling her powers, and school has been a challenge for, especially with bullies always pushing her buttons, and sometimes her emotions come out, and she fears herself as a monster
sound familiar?
now you know why they’re perfect
Also not going to lie, I really like bruce and Nat in this fic…
*steve looks at me*
I’m sorry, you’re still better for Nat
Do me a favor…. Tell Cress I meant it

I have another chapter!!
I couldn’t wait to share it… mostly because it’s sad
the first seen is one of the few gems from the show, that I absolutely love, and brought so much more to Vision and Wanda, and her grief over Pietro
also guys I’m so close to the end… *preparing myself* You’ll cry
but this is a series (I just love the story so much) so… there’s a happy ending for her somewhere in the story
Chapter 15
Vision floated through the wall, into Wanda’s room. Wanda sat on the bed, watching an old sitcom on the tv, her eyes and face looked tear-stained, and there didn’t even seem to be a hint of a smile on her face.
“I’m sorry I don’t mean to intrude,” Vision stated, feeling a little guilty for just popping in.
Wanda turned to look at him. “You don’t?”
“Well, I suppose yes, I did intend to come in here,” Vision corrected himself.
Vision took a seat next to her, looking at her with caring eyes.
“Wanda, I won’t presume to know what you’re feeling, but I would like to know,” Vision tried to make himself a trustworthy person to Wanda. “Should you wish to tell me, should that be some comfort to you,”
“What makes you think that talking about it would bring me comfort?”
“Oh, see, I read-”
“The only thing that would bring me comfort is seeing him again,” Wanda’s face seemed even more sad, tears filling the brim of her eyes.
“It can’t all be sorrow, can it? I’ve always been alone, so I can’t feel the lack. It’s all I’ve ever known,” Vision had his own sadness, feeling so very lacking in his own ways. “I’ve never experienced loss because I’ve never had a loved one to lose.”
Wanda looked at him, reaching for his hand, not in a romantic way but in an empathizing way.
“But… what is grief, if not lover persevering?”
~*~
“And what happened when he wasn’t there, to pull you out of your darkness?”
Molly’s question, brought Wanda out of her flashback, to that terrible yet wonderful scene of Vision comforting her, after the loss of her brother.
“When you lost him too?”
Wanda looked at Molly, her neighbor, and new therapist, who Vision decided she should see. Everyone was out of the house, and she was just talking to Molly, so very full of grief and trauma.
“I think… I drowned, the darkness consumed me,” Wanda’s lips quivered, her eyes glowing red as she looked at Molly.
“You mean the grief consumed you?” Molly asked, hoping that Wanda wasn’t truly that depressed.
“What does it matter when either way you’re the villain?” Wanda swallowed. “When you’re the monster,”
Molly didn’t know what to say, she almost wanted to cry herself.
“What do you remember? From that moment?”
“I remember being in a country that wasn’t my home, feeling so terribly alone,”
“But you weren’t alone, you had Vision? And he was there for you, but what did you feel, when he was gone?”
“I was yet again in a country that wasn’t my own, and I was literally alone…” Wanda paused, it hit so hard, everything did, reality was creeping in… and she couldn’t stop it. “I just remember this overwhelming emptiness, it was like this weight weighing me down, I couldn’t breathe without crying, I couldn’t see without tears, and I couldn’t live without… missing him, yet I knew I would have to, and I… couldn’t,”
Molly was taken back by the words, she could almost feel Wanda’s grief.
Mainly because Wanda had made her, Molly was just another part of her mind. Asking the questions that Wanda had been asking herself for years.
“I’m… the monster,”
A radio interrupted them, it sat on the counter, it was talking about something, and the words started to be more clear.
“Twenty-six Wakanda civilians killed in building, due to Wanda Maximoff trying to redirect a bomb,”
Wanda went pale, closing her eyes. Hating the monster she was.
