I have the prologue of the second book!!
If you missed the last few chapters of the first book, you should go read that first
and now you get the very confusing prologue (But it’s supposed to be that way XD)
Honestly, why couldn’t Marvel just ask me to write Wanda’s arc????!!!! I love this series so much!!!
Prologue
Wanda looked around the terribly small cemetery. And then at her brother’s stone, no flowers or cards, nothing, for a man who had given his life so valiantly.
Wanda fell to her knees, feeling the stone with her hand.
Her eyes burned with tears and her lips quivered, but mostly she felt angry, so terribly angry.
She was angry at the man who took her parents from her.
She was angry at the man who took her brother from her.
She was angry at the man who took everything from her.
Wanda let out a sob and then formed a scowl of pure rage.
“I promise brother, I will avenge you,” Wanda got up and tilted her head looking into the horizon. “I will destroy Tony Stark and everyone with him,”
~*~
“That was amazing Mr. Stark, the crowd loves you,” Peter stated, he looked up to Tony, a lot.
Tony had just finished his speech, at an inventor’s expo, and now they were walking backstage.
“Yes, everyone loves you, Mr. Stark,”
Peter and Tony looked in shock to see Wanda, her head tilted with a scowl on her face.
“Clearly they didn’t lose their brother to your killer robot,”
“Wanda… I’m so sorry,” Tony put his arm out to protect Peter. Wanda didn’t look like a kid anymore.
He had done something wrong, but he wouldn’t let Peter take the fall for his mistake.
“You’ve taken everything from me, and now I get revenge,” Wanda pulled her red jacket tight on her body. Her powers wrapped around her hands, ready to fight.
“Don’t bring Peter into this,” Tony tapped his metal heart, a red suit wrapping around him.
Peter suited up too, ready to protect Tony.
“I won’t stop until every reminisce of your name is destroyed, and that includes Peter,”
Peter shot a web at her, but Wanda reversed it, sending it back at him, and webbing him up.
“You created Vision and Ultron, and they took everything from me!” Wanda’s voice shook a little, but she remained strong.
Do me a favor…. Tell Cress I meant it

@smiley ahhhh, Wanda!!! 😭😭
August 14, 2023 at 4:11 pm #153913@smiley Wow!!!
Are you going to write another one??? That was so good!
Honestly, Marvel should hire some of its fanfic writers. I read one who had this awesome, elaborate arc about a character (I think her name was Shadowlight or something like that?) that really felt like it was proper movie material.
Where'd I get ya this time? The liver? The kidney? I'm runnin' outta places to put holes in ya.
August 14, 2023 at 4:25 pm #153916Yeah I posted the prologue of the second book above

I have the first three chapters!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This will probably be a short book of the series, but it plays an important role
Chapter 1
We’ll say hello again…
What Wanda would give for that to be true. To have her family here, to have her husband here.
Wanda let out a soft sigh. She had too much time to ponder these things. Too much time to feel so tragic.
Wanda had found herself living in a small cabin at the end of the Bartons’ farm. To pay for her keep, she was in charge of the cherry trees. She was far from a farmer, but it felt wrong to just live there without giving anything. And she wouldn’t be living here if Clint and Laura hadn’t insisted on it.
So far Clint was the only Avenger she had talked to since the West View incident and she preferred to keep it that way.
“Hey,” Clint said closing his truck door, it was easier for him to drive than walk.
Wanda smiled. “How’s packing?”
“Uh… let’s just say Laura’s doing it,” Clint chuckled.
Clint was going to go have some quality time with his kids in New York.
“That sounds like you,”
“Laura sent me to ask if you’re coming for dinner,”
Wanda set down the basket and gave Clint a faint smile. “No, I’ll eat here,”
“You know, we’re not your landowners, we’re your friends,”
“Do you have many friends that create a false reality with stones that need returning?”
Clint shrugged. “Give me some time to think about that,”
Wanda began to walk away, guilt and pain filling her. “Why don’t you just lecture me and then hate me? It would make this so much easier,”
“Because I don’t blame you,” Clint caught up to her. “You lost your love, the man you were going to spend the rest of your life with,”
“I didn’t just lose him,” Wanda turned to look at Clint, her face saddening. “I lost myself, through all of this, losing my sons and Vision, I lost myself too.”
“I’m sorry,”
“I’m not the same Wanda that would come and visit you and your family, that Wanda is gone, and I don’t think she’s coming back, grief consumed her,”
It hurt Clint to hear that, he had lost so many of his friends, and he didn’t want Wanda to be another one on that list.
“I would just like to be in solitude, for right now,” Wanda gave one last smile to Clint and walked inside her cabin.
Clint sighed, listening to her wants, but he didn’t think solitude was what she needed.
~*~
“Is she coming?” Laura asked, pausing to see the stress on his face. “What’s wrong?”
“How did it get like this? We were just a group of people, trying to save the world, and somewhere in it all… we all broke,”
Laura put her arms around her husband, leaning her head on his shoulder. “When you have a goal like saving the world, there’s bound to be casualties, whether you survive or die,”
Clint gave his wife a light kiss, smiling at her. “I just feel so lost,”
“Do you remember when you came here, with the Avengers, and I told you, they needed you?”
“Yeah…”
“Well, they still need you, before you had a group of Avengers, now you have a bunch of good people who need shaping into Avengers,”
“And Wanda?”
“She’ll find her way back, I’m not sure how, but she will,”
Clint smiled. “How do you stay this optimistic?”
“Because, when you’ve seen bad and you can smile at good, and somewhere in all of this is good,”
Clint held Laura even tighter, not daring to let go. He loved her and he knew how Wanda felt, about losing her family.
Guilt tugged at Clint, reminding him of what he had done during the blip, things he wasn’t proud of.
“The kids are excited for New York,” Laura stated.
Clint came out of his thoughts and grinned at Laura. “I still think you should come with us,”
“Nope, this is just you and your kids’ time, we’ll celebrate Christmas as a family,”
The two shared a smile, they were both strong, but they were stronger together.
Chapter 2
Wanda looked around the field. Pink trees with bright red cherries surrounded her. She didn’t really like it that much, she dreamed of a life in the suburbs with neighbors and a small house that fit her family comfortably.
Vision knew that’s what she wanted, that’s why he bought that property, and that’s why where they planned to live out that dream.
All based on Wanda’s little dream, but then Thanos came, destroying her dream in a matter of days.
Wanda’s phone dinged, she looked at the text and gave a small smile.
Just got to New York!!! It’s so much bigger than I expected! – Lila
Lila looked up to Wanda, after all, she had known her since she was eight and had grown up with her and Vision (while they were on the run) visiting her family.
Isn’t it cool?! Have your Dad take you to some of the malls, then you’ll have a really good time!
Wanda wasn’t happy, but she could pretend for Lila, she could pretend for all of the Barton kids, but no part of her was truly happy.
“Nice place you got here,”
Why now? I just want peace, and why did it have to be him? Wanda thought.
Wanda clutched her fists, slowly turning to see Steven. “Came to give me a lecture?”
“No, I came because I need your help,” Steve let out a sigh. “To fix the multiverse,”
~*~
Steve crossed his arms, he had told Wanda all about Peter and his little mistake, and Wanda’s reaction was laughing.
“Can you try to be serious?”
“Do you think I’m laughing out of humor? I’m laughing because you never cease to amaze me with how terrible you can be,” Wanda went cold, her eyes turning red.
“I understand your complaint, but understand that what I did, had no risk of destruction,”
“Yet, there was… all so a kid could be in college, yet me wanting my husband back wasn’t a good enough reason,”
“I’m sorry about that,” Steve sighed, “And I understand if you don’t want to do this for me, but at least do it for Peter,”
Wanda thought about it, but she couldn’t shake the pain and grief that filled her.
I can’t feel you, her own words echoed through her head. Where was Steven or Peter then, when she needed them or anyone?
“How would you describe Tony Stark?”
Steven looked confused, not seeing how this had anything to do with the conversation. “What?”
“How would you describe Tony Stark?”
Steven thought about the question. “He gave his life nobly, and it’s so very tragic that he’s not here anymore,”
“Yet Vision and Pietro who also gave their life nobly, are just sad losses, right? That’s what you called them, wasn’t it?” Wanda hesitated. “They never got a funeral… nobody even cared that they died,”
“Wanda… I didn’t mean it like that,”
Wanda got up from her seat, picking up an image of her and her family. Billy, Tommy, Vision, and… her. “I would like you to leave,”
“Wanda be reasonable,”
“Leave!” Wanda insisted him out the door.
He finally left, and Wanda closed the door.
Wanda shook as she put the image back on the mantel. Tears flooded her eyes.
She looked at her smiling self, looking so at peace with her family, where she belonged.
“I miss being happy…” Wanda took a seat, letting out a few gentle sobs.
Chapter 3
Tony shot a repulser at her, hitting Wanda to the ground. Tony turned his attention back to Peter, who was still webbed up.
“Are you okay?”
“Yeah I’m fine Mr. Stark, are you?”
Tony was about to speak, but he was lifted up into the air by Wanda, his armor slowly being torn apart.
“No Peter he’s not fine, but that’s the price you pay when you take my brother,” Wanda twisted her hand, her powers beginning to tear Tony.
“Wanda… stop!” Tony insisted.
Peter rushed at her, but Wanda pushed him aside, grabbing him too with her powers.
This felt good, this felt right. She was getting her revenge, and that’s all she could do in this life. Right?
But before Wanda could finish the job, she vanished.
Wanda let out a cry for help, as she landed in a small cabin.
Looking around the cabin only made her more confused. There were pictures of her on the walls, but with orange hair and with Vision. The robot who killed her brother.
What was going on?!
“Hello?” Wanda said opening her cabin door, she had heard a noise while she was outside. She wrapped her powers around her hand just in case it was Steven again.
“Where am I?” The other Wanda asked, still in a confused daze. “And who are you?”
Wanda didn’t know what to say, she was staring at a younger her. “I’m Wanda Maximoff, and this is my house,”
The other Wanda still looked confused. “How did I get here,”
“Well… do you know who Peter Parker is?”
Silence filled the room, as other Wanda remembered where she had been before she came here. Destroying both Tony and Peter with her powers.
“Yes, why? is this his doing?”
“Sort of…” Wanda looked at the other Wanda, something was wrong here, this Wanda had the same look she had when fighting the Avengers, the look of revenge.
“And Tony Stark? Where is he?”
“Dead, he gave his life heroically,”
The other Wanda turned to look at Wanda, tilting her head. “There is nothing heroic about Tony Stark,”
“What do you mean?”
The other Wanda ignored her question and walked around the cabin, grabbing an image of Wanda and Pietro. “Don’t worry I won’t bother you, I’ll just kill Peter Parker and go,”
“I’m sorry what?”
“It won’t be that hard, he isn’t that strong, at least not in my universe,”
“Why?!”
“Because Peter learned from Tony and Tony made Vision,” The other Wanda looked at Wanda. “And he killed my brother,”
“Vision did what?” Wanda was now the confused one. “Are we talking about the same Vision?”
“Depends, was your Vision another Ultron just even more powerful?”
“No!” Wanda gasped at the idea. “He was gentle, and kind, and he was… my husband…”
“Was?”
“I lost him, I lost all of them… everyone in the pictures,”
“I’m sorry,” both of them were broken, it must have been cannon in all the universes, for the Wandas to be terribly hurt. “But if not Vision, who killed Pietro?”
“Ultron…”
“Also made by Tony?”
Wanda hesitated. “I suppose… I never thought of it that way, maybe because I had Vision,”
“Well I didn’t, but the best I can do now is rid the world of people like Tony, and that includes Peter,” The other Wanda headed for the door. “So if you’ll excuse me,”
Wanda sighed. “I can’t let you do that,”
“You think you can stop me?”
“I have to try,”
Do me a favor…. Tell Cress I meant it
-ThorneAugust 20, 2023 at 2:55 pm #154284Oohh, cool! Chapter 3 was a little confusing but so sweet and sad.. by the way, sorry if I don’t get to responding to all these! I really do enjoy reading all y’all’s fanfics but I feel like I’ve missed a couple lately and I’ve just been a bit busier, lol. Great job on finishing your other one, though!

August 20, 2023 at 6:10 pm #154297@freedomwriter76 @hybridlore
Awww thanks!
Yeah it’s hard to write a scene between the same characters
and just to make it clear, in the other multiverse Vision was more Ultron than Jarvis which is why he’s bad
