Summary: After being portaled away yet again by Doctor Strange, [Y/N] found herself face to face with danger. Though Titan was bad, having to battle Thanos and all, it was 8 vs. 1. Numbers no longer were on her side as she was thrown right into the heat of battle, without even a second to catch her breath.

Note From Author: Part 15 will be out soon! Thank you so much for making it this far and check back in a week for more!

Part 14 - Mercy

[Y/N] went through the portal as fast as it appeared. The movement was so sudden that she barely registered how she had stumbled and fallen onto a rocky, somewhat grassy, patch of dirt.

The sun’s warm rays of light blinded her, making her head throb in her state of confusion. She could hear several people fighting around her, but her vision was blurry from all the dirt that had stirred from all the movement. Just as she was blinking away the tears that formed from the particles in the air stinging her eyes, the ground below her rumbled. While still disoriented and nauseous from the sudden portaling, she finally saw the giant metallic, bladed wheels barreling towards her.

Just as she was beginning to register the imminent doom that was before her, she saw two people that were dangerously closer to the wheels than her. One of them she recognized and immediately jumped into action before she could even process what on Earth was going on.

Running forward, just in line with the two women who were bracing for impact, [Y/N] let out a wave of her powers to stop the oncoming destruction. The huge, metal contraption creaked and resisted her barrier but she let out a shout as she sent out more of her energy to stop the blades from coming any closer.

The two women, who were baffled on why they were unharmed, looked up and saw her fighting to hold back the machine. Natasha immediately knew who had jumped in to help while the other woman was still a bit confused, given that she and [Y/N] had never met.

[Y/N] wished she could have a better reunion with her friend, but this wasn’t the time. Her muscles screamed out in agony as her powers were pushed to the limit, but she ignored the strain and continued to push back against the enemy. Sweat beaded down her forehead and she knew that she could not hold the wheels back for long.

“I can’t-” [Y/N] gasped out, her knees already starting to bend from the force pushing back against her.

Just as her powers could not resist against the machine, another Avenger flew down from the sky to save them.

Red waves of energy surrounded Wanda’s hands and the wheels as her powers pushed the blades back and lifted them into the air. Glancing behind her at the oncoming alien army, she grunted as she sent the now-divided gigantic wheels backwards towards the horde of enemies. 

[Y/N] crumpled onto the ground, panting heavily, as she looked up gratefully at another friend she hadn’t seen in a long time.

“Why was she up there all this time?” The only other woman [Y/N] did not know asked as she skillfully twirled her spear and brought it behind her.

~

While fighting alongside her fellow Avengers, [Y/N] was caught up on a few things.

One was that Bruce was safe and was able to contact Steve about the situation so that they could prepare for the oncoming invasion. The second was that they were currently in Wakanada, both protecting Vision and granting Shuri, King T’Challa’s - aka. Black Panther’s - genius sister, some time to safely separate the mind stone from Vision. And finally, the other woman that was fighting alongside them was the general of the Dora Milaje of Wakanda, Okoye.

Though already battle worn from her brush with Thanos and drained from holding back something that was beyond her capabilities, [Y/N] continued to fight back Thanos’ army. The three women were grateful for her arrival, given that any help against the numbers they were facing was a blessing.

“Guys, we got a Vision situation here,” Sam said through the earpiece that [Y/N] had received from Natasha, who often kept spares.

“Somebody get to Vision!” Cap yelled, knowing full well what the danger of those words represented.

“I got him!” Bruce confirmed.

“On my way,” Wanda added, but then she was suddenly attacked from the side by a familiar alien that [Y/N] instantly recognized. That was the female alien that was considered a “child of Thanos” and was there when Thor and Loki’s ship was attacked.

[Y/N] quickly leapt into action but before she could do anything to help Wanda, Natasha put a hand on her shoulder and pulled her back.

“Go help Vision,” she instructed as she turned her back to [Y/N] and headed towards the female alien. “We got this.”

“Got it,” [Y/N] nodded and quickly took off into the opposite direction, shrouding herself in a blanket of air and vanished from sight.

~

By the time [Y/N] arrived at where Vision was, she saw that he was outnumbered. It was a two vs. one situation: Vision against the remaining “children of Thanos,” one being the bulky alien from the fight in New York, when the pale alien was after Strange’s time stone.

Unable to alert Vision of her presence, the bulky alien swung his hammer towards her friend. [Y/N] instantly sent out her powers, her invisibility unraveling, and took the damage for Vision head-on. She winced in pain, her hands trembling at the force she absorbed, but bit down on her lip to prevent herself from making a sound.

Vision flew backwards, the force behind the attack still making him stumble back, though unfazed by the impact. A bit confused, Vision turned and saw [Y/N] standing not too far from him. Many emotions flashed across his face, but it finally rested on one thing. Relief.

“Oh, no. Oh, no you don’t.”

Bruce swiftly entered the scene, adorning the metal armor that was once used to fend off the Hulk. Though new to its mechanisms, he still preoccupied the bulky alien and was thrown to another location, a bit further from where [Y/N] and Vision were.

“Guys!” Bruce yelled through the comms, “Vision and [Y/N] need backup, now!”

Of course everyone stiffened when they heard [Y/N]’s name, but they quickly brushed aside their questions and were instead reassured that a fellow Avenger had arrived at the scene. Though Vision’s situation was precarious, knowing [Y/N] was there would buy them enough time for backup to make it in time.

“Vision, get back!” [Y/N] instructed as she sent out wave after wave of her powers to push the enemy away.

Once he was pushed back far enough, she sent out a blanket of energy and draped it over Vision. Though that divided her attention and powers, she made sure that Vision was hidden from sight so as to not sustain any more damage while she distracted the enemy.

His weapon was the most troublesome out of everything. She had briefly heard of Vision’s situation from Wanda in the midst of fighting off aliens, that it was capable of taking on Vision’s infinity stone powered body. However, the same couldn’t be said about the alien’s body. So long as she could land a few blows while avoiding the deadly weapon, he would not be able to advance.

Her powers were useless against whatever material was used to craft such a weapon, but she didn’t survive this long for nothing. Feeling the brush of death so close to her, her body acted on its own and dodged the blade from touching her skin. Her vibranium gloves helped protect her as she tried to block some of the oncoming blows away from any vital spots, but she was just not fast enough. The moment his weapon missed its mark, the alien shifted his body and swung out his leg and kicked her with enough force to send her back and bruise her bones.

She tumbled on the floor, rolling from the hit, as she coughed and gasped for air. Her concentration was scattered and the invisibility over Vision dissipated into the air. The damage she took couldn’t be stopped with her powers alone and her untrained body was having a hard time getting back up. While unable to move, the alien shifted his attention back to the now visible Vision, who desperately tried to gather his strength in an attempt to fend off his attacker.

Gritting her teeth and willing herself to move, her powers wrapped around her body and helped her to her feet. Surging with as much energy as she could muster, she sent out another wave of power at the alien. This fight couldn’t go on as she felt herself getting weaker and weaker. Vision was in no condition to fight and she was running out of time.

Damn it! [Y/N] cursed herself for being so weak as she continued to bombard the alien with her power. The more she fought, the weaker her attacks became. Sooner or later, it would only be a matter of time before she was truly unable to move, let alone fight back.

He viciously smiled, knowing that hope was dwindling inside her, but before he could revel in his victory, someone barreled into him and tackled him to the floor.

“Steve!” [Y/N] cried out, her heart blooming with joy at the backup that finally arrived.

“Get out of here!” He instructed both of them as he turned his full attention back on the alien.

[Y/N] didn’t question his authority and immediately made her way back to Vision. He could barely stand up, so she used her body to help prop him up. Although she was nearly drained of power, she could still use them to at least do this much.

“Go!” Steve commanded as the two struggled to get out of his way.

He fended off the alien, but both of them could see that Steve had expended a lot of energy to just get here. The situation was becoming dire and just when he successfully made the alien drop his weapon, the alien grabbed his throat and threw him over a fallen tree. There was only a second to think, but [Y/N] and Vision both had the same exact thoughts. With one nod, they moved together in unison, knowing exactly what to do.

Steve was at his last breath, his throat being choked by the alien before him, but not giving up. Just when he was losing strength to fight back, the head of a spear stabbed into the alien on top of him, plunging deeper and deeper into the alien’s chest. Steve coughed, gasping for air, as the alien released him and was lifted higher and higher by his own weapon.

Vision had the strength and [Y/N] had her powers. Together, the two had grabbed onto the discarded spear and impaled the accursed villain. [Y/N] was physically too weak to do it alone and Vision was injured and could barely move. With her helping him stand using her powers as support, he found the strength necessary to finally finish off this alien for good.

With the adrenaline wearing off, both of them could feel their legs give out. Vision was the first to stumble, and Cap quickly caught him before he fell down. [Y/N] had a bit more strength and gently slumped down to the floor, utterly exhausted from her combined efforts of fighting with Thanos, stopping the gigantic bladed wheels, and rescuing Vision. Finally, there was time to catch a breath.

“I thought I told you two to go,” Cap sighed, relieved to see that Vision and [Y/N] were okay.

“We don’t trade lives, Captain,” Vision answered, a knowing look shared between the two of them. [Y/N] clearly missed something, but at this point she didn’t have the energy to care.

~

“He’s here,” Vision warned, a foreboding feeling enveloping everyone who heard his words.

No, [Y/N] thought to herself as she realized what those words implied and recalled the state her friends were in when she was forcibly separated from them. No, Tony couldn’t have lost! No!

She knew exactly how powerful Thanos was. If he truly succeeded back on Titan, then that meant that he had not only defeated Tony but also obtained another infinity stone. He was more powerful than any of them could even imagine. Her eyes said everything she was dreading as she turned to Steve and he nodded to her, understanding what she meant without any more words.

“Everyone on my position,” Cap instructed through the comms. “We have incoming.”

If they were going to face Thanos, they needed everyone who could still fight.

The moment Thanos appeared out of the cloud of gray and blue smoke, [Y/N]’s heart fell. More of her friends were lost. She didn’t know how many more were killed by this monster’s hands, but she knew how ruthless he could be. How could they have survived if he managed to get his hands on the time stone? How many more friends did she have to lose by his hands?

“Thanos,” [Y/N] breathed, tears welling up in her eyes from both grief and anger. Her voice was so low that it was barely a whisper, but everyone around her heard what she said.

“Cap,” Bruce called, “that’s him.”

Their confirmation was all the team needed. The two people who had met Thanos face-to-face. There was no room or reason for doubt. All they could do now was steel their resolve and fight to the death.

“Eyes up. Stay sharp.” Cap took command and readied his new shield for another battle.

He was the first to charge. [Y/N] had no more time to think. She knew that there was no more time left. From the corner of her eye, she could see the overwhelming pain Wanda had on her face as she tried to desperately stop Vision from convincing her to destroy the stone embedded in his head. [Y/N] couldn’t bear to see the torment that her friends were feeling from this decision, from this sacrifice, so she directed all her attention onto Thanos.

This fight was different from the battle on Titan.

Thanos learned from his mistakes and didn’t take any chances this time. Not when he was so close to his prize.

He discarded his arrogance and instead fully utilized the stones in his possession more than when he was fighting Tony and the others. Barely lifting his own arms to fight, he just sent wave after wave of power. All stones, except the time stone, were exploited.

Bruce’s charge lost its force as his whole metallic suit phased through Thanos and was tossed towards the mountain, encased in the rocks and unable to move. Steve was easily thrown aside, T’Challa was knocked unconscious with one blow, and Falcon’s wings were disabled midcharge, all with the help of the infinity stones’ power.

Vision had finally convinced Wanda to destroy his stone, just as Rhodey was nearly crushed within his own Iron Patriot suit. Bucky was knocked down, Okoye’s spear was stopped and her sent flying, Natasha trapped between rocks that pierced from the ground, and the tree creature’s constricting branches easily snapped off.

Then, Steve pushed forward and used his own two hands.

Punch after punch, hit after hit. Though exhausted, Steve persisted and fended off Thanos. Their goal was no longer defeating Thanos. No, it was now to buy Wanda enough time. Enough time to… To destroy the mind stone.

With one swing, Thanos knocked Steve out of the way and continued on towards Wanda. With only [Y/N] left standing, she stood beside Wanda as the two sent a wave of energy at Thanos. Her powers were far stronger than [Y/N]’s but any support was better than none. Using the last of her reserves she could muster, [Y/N] sent out all she had to block Thanos so that Wanda could finally rid the world of one infinity stone. One less so that Thanos could not use it against the universe.

To prevent him from overwhelming them with the stones’ might, [Y/N] sent out her powers to prevent him from closing his gauntlet. She didn’t have enough power to pry it off his hand, but she did have enough energy to fight against his one arm. Sweat streamed down her forehead as she continued to struggle with Thanos, his monstrous strength making her grit her teeth as every ounce of her being was used to stop him from using any more of the stones’ powers.

Wanda’s attention was solely on Vision, though her powers were divided. [Y/N] did not look away from Thanos as he inched closer, but in her heart she knew that he would be too late. All she needed to do was allow Wanda just a little more time. And so her eyes never left the enemy before her. However, those last words… The last words of her synthetic friend did not escape her ears.

Her heart felt as though countless knives were stabbing into them and she couldn’t even begin to imagine how Wanda must have felt at that moment. Those words, so filled with love and affection, were directed only to Wanda. The hatred [Y/N] felt for Thanos only grew as she felt the tears rolling down her face. Such a tragedy, if it weren’t for this monster, would her friends ever need to make such a heart-wrenching decision?

No. Never would we have been pushed so far over the edge. He’s the root of all of this!

The blow was not small. The moment the infinity stone broke under Wanda’s powers, the blast sent all of them back. [Y/N] had expended too much energy and was flung further away but Thanos and Wanda remained close to where Vision had once stood.

She lay upon the dirt floor of the forest, her mind going blank. Her ears were ringing and she could barely make out any sounds. Still, she was alert enough to know that it was not the time for her to be laying there, defenseless, while her friend and Thanos still stood, but her whole body refused to listen. [Y/N]’s breathing was heavy, utterly exhausted from everything that went down, and all she wanted to do was close her eyes and rest. But she couldn’t do that. Not here. Not now.

Still, her body didn’t listen to her and soon everything went black.

[Y/N] didn’t know how long she had blacked out, but the moment she opened her eyes again, Vision was back and struggling under the hold of Thanos. The energy she previously lost was slowly returning and the scene before her eyes made a jolt of panic shoot her upright.

Didn’t Wanda destroy the stone? Then how- That’s when it hit her. The time stone!

But it was too late. Thanos had forced the stone out of Vision’s artificial head and threw the lifeless body aside. The stone fit perfectly into the final place on the gauntlet and power surged into Thanos. All infinity stones were finally in his possession. If someone didn’t do something fast, he would-

Several bolts of lightning crashed into the purple alien, sending him back with plenty of force to spare. Only one man could make such a drastic entrance!

“Thor!”

The God of Thunder raced towards Thanos from the sky, his whole body wrapped with electrical energy. With all his might, he threw his new weapon at Thanos who shot out the combined powers of the infinity stones, the two powers clashing with one another. However, it wasn’t what anyone was expecting.

Thor’s new weapon defied the unrivaled powers of the stone and continued to break through their beam of energy. It tore through such vast amounts of power and finally… It lodged itself right in Thanos’ chest. Such a wound, it would be impossible for him to be unscathed.

“I told you,” Thor said, his voice low and filled with rage, “you’d die for that.”

With those words finally out, he pushed the weapon further into Thanos’ body. The purple alien roared in pain, unable to withstand the additional torment, and could barely speak.

“You should have… You should…” He murmured at first, but who knew where he found the strength to finish that sentence. “You should have gone for the head.”

One snap was all it took. A bolt of energy rippled through the cosmos as Thanos finally completed his goal.

[Y/N] was the only one there who knew the extent of Thanos’ plans. She was the only one who knew what that snap signified. And just knowing about it made her stomach churn. She knew what was coming, but she hoped and prayed that it wasn’t possible. That what Thanos foretold would not come to pass.

“What’d you do?” Thor cried out, not knowing what that blast of power meant. Nothing had happened to him but looking at the tattered state of the gauntlet, clearly the combined powers of the infinity stones had been used. “What’d you do?!”

But Thanos did not reply. Instead, he used the stones and disappeared to parts unknown. The weapon that was once lodged into his massive body clattered onto the ground, the blade stained with the alien’s blood.

“Where’d he go?” Steve asked, holding his side as he tried to catch his breath. “Thor… Where’d he go?”

“Steve,” Bucky called out, looking at his arm that wasn’t holding onto his gun.

In just a matter of seconds, Bucky turned to ash and fell to the ground. His body didn’t even have a chance to hit the dirt floor as he became dust and was blown away by the gentle breeze. The sight stunned everyone and no one knew what was going on. Everyone but [Y/N].

Thanos’ words echoed in her mind, his sick, twisted mission replaying over and over in her head His act of mercy had been fulfilled.

That’s when [Y/N] felt something within her stir. She knew that Thanos had accomplished his wish and people everywhere were being erased from the universe randomly, being purged so the remaining few could survive. A completely random process, but half of the universe would not live to see that “glorious” future that Thanos had envisioned for them.

“Shit,” the words escaped [Y/N]’s lips as she brought herself to her knees and bowed her head in complete and utter defeat.

Her words were not loud, but they were heard by everyone that still remained. They turned to her, their eyes searching for answers, as they tried desperately to keep the feeling of dread from swallowing them whole.

“He did it. Thanos won.”

Pairing: Wanda x Black!Female!Reader, Rhodey x Daughter!Reader

WARNINGS: angst, blood, death, surgery, forced experimentation, needles, guns, ANGST AGAIN (I think that’s it)

—————

Y/N’s eyes were phantom white but the veins around her eyes were plague black and crimson red. She snarled at her target and we could tell how afraid he was. Her hair was glowing a blinding silver. We were used to her powers but not like this, this time they had reached their peak. She had a deathly smirk on her lips before speaking, her short fangs becoming visible.

“...Try and hurt me again and I’ll make sure I choke you to death on your own blood-”

——————

-Wanda’s POV-

This mission had been putting everyone through the ringer, we had to fly all the way to Norway to shut down a facility that created mutants and enhanced beings. I felt myself become exhausted. My fingers burned from generating so much energy to counter the enemies attacks.

I groaned as a bullet grazed my shoulder. We were practically getting ambushed. In this area of the facility it was just me, Natasha and Steve, the others were scattered.

These weren’t just normal bogeys that followed the orders of their leader, no. These were enhanced beings with specific mutations that made it harder for us to fight off.

“Y/N, we need you on our end,” I heard Natasha yell into the com, though she was right beside me, I could barely hear her in person over the gunshots and explosions, “and fast!”

Y/N hadn’t copied and I worried. She never takes long to reply to a command. She’s usually right on top of it.

“Rhodes! Do you copy?” This time it was Steve to yell in the com.

“Uh yeah but I’m a bit caught up on my end with NO back up. So you guys are gonna have to deal without my set of hands for a minute” she sassed, I could hear the commotion in the background.

I worried for her being alone in a fight. I knew it was a bad idea for Steve to split us up like this. Not yet has our title proved to be a liability as Steve claimed it would. We worked best together, and we’ve proven that time and time again.

“Y/N, I need you to stay safe, okay?” I grunted as one of the mutants kicked me in my guts.

“Always, my love. You do the same” I could practically hear the smirk in her voice.

“Hi, hello, Avengers: We took care of the looney bitch. Finish up and let’s roll out” Tony sounded relieved to finally be done.

While it was a struggle to fight all of the guys off, Natasha, Steve and I finally got the job done.

We began running toward the exit when we heard static in our com and I heard Y/N’s panicked voice.

“Dad, I need your help. Quick!” Then a high pitched ringing seemed to come through the earpiece, only it wasn’t. The ringing was coming from the building it was darting through the halls.

Without a second thought I ran to Y/N’s location with Nat and Steve on my tail, seeing her up against a few discombobulated mutants... must have been the defective batch. I could tell Y/N’ abilities were about to come into effect, that’s the only explanation for that high pitched ringing. It happens every time when she’s about to fall subject to her mutation.

“Y/N pull back and let’s get out of here” Rhodey flew overhead with Tony and Sam by his side, out of the other entrance came Thor, Bruce, well Hulk, and Peter. Bucky and Clint came from a lower level of the facility.

“I’m trying, dad!” She was stressing out but that only fueled her powers even more.

We all moved to help her before a force field was put around her and a man in a long dark cloak came in with his hood on. I didn’t like the vibe from this guy, but who would? Some random guy comes out of random corner in a Dungeons and Dragons cloak, that is never a good thing.

“Welcome back, Y/N Rhodes” the voice of the man was scratchy and uneven, yet powerful and frightening.

This distracted her and caused the deformed mutants to twist her arms behind her back to trap her.

“My favorite subject. My biggest accomplishment,” he took his hood off and had a scar through his eye, one eye being pure white while the other was an ethereal green. He sent her a crooked smile that churned my stomach “Oh, how I’ve missed you”

Y/N’s facial expression looked pained. Not because of how she was being mutant handled but because of the man standing in front of her.

“Roscovich,” she gasped. “Ezra Roscovich” her lip twitched and the frequency of the ringing only seemed to increase.

Blasts came from up above and I could see it came from Rhodey. “You’re the asshole that tortured my daughter, you took my wife from me!!” the blasts continued as Rhodey flew around trying to hit the guy but he used a force field to counter Rhodey’s attacks knocking Rhodey out of the air.

“DAD!!” Y/N was feeling too many emotions at once, I could feel them radiating off of her, they were overwhelming me. I could see her thoughts they were running at a million miles a minute, I couldn’t keep up. She was never comfortable with talking about her mutation or how it came about and she most definitely didn’t like using it. But now I was seeing quick glimpses of flashbacks and I didn’t know what to make of it.

“You hurt my dad” She wasn’t crying, her voice was low and sinister.

The man named Ezra shrugged and turned to the rest of us.

“You think Ayalla was one you were looking for? You thought she was mastermind behind this whole operation?! Y/N , you of all people should have known better” His accent thick, he stalked toward us and his cloak flowed right with him.

“I wanted my prized possession back,” he looked at Y/N and sent a wink her way, ”It was all a simple trap and of course you took the bait. You lot are so hell bent on trying to save everyone that you couldn’t help but find yourselves here” his smile stirred something in me. I looked at Y/N and she just seemed too calm to be in this situation. Her entire demeanor changed and I wasn’t sure if that was a good thing or a bad thing.

“Why, Y/N? What is she to you?” My mouth moved faster than my brain, I tried to push through to his mind to find is motives but it all came up blank.

“Why she is everything I’ve dreamt of personified. I worked hard to make her what she is. Countless trials, numerous lives lost, endless formulas, ruined equipment. She is my beloved Phantom” he clapped while jumping up and down like a child.

“But you took her away from me. She was supposed to be mine!” He stomped his foot and his face turned red.

“She’s my daughter. She never belonged to you!” Rhodey removed the helmet to reveal his face.

“But is she?,” Ezra tapped his temple “when I created the essence to make her what she is she became anew.” He gave us jazz fingers as if this was some type of magic trick.

“Her body was like computer and the essence worked as a virus. The essence became an override for her DNA, stripping her of her humanity” he rocked back on his heels sending us a shit eating grin.

Rhodey and Tony held up their hands ready to blast the hell out of this asshole while Clint got his bow ready, Hulk got into stance, ready to pounce and crush this dude and my hands flashed red in a second,  but Steve stopped us from taking action.

“This is what he wants, guys be smart about this.”

“Be smart? Be SMART ABOUT IT?!,” I finally lost my cool, “that is my girlfriend in there! His daughter! A member of our family being held hostage and all you have to say is be SMART?!”

“Wanda.” Y/N’s voice resonated within me and calmed me like it always could. “I need you to get everyone out of here”

“I’m not leaving y-“

“This is not up for discussion!,” Y/N rarely ever raised her voice at me so I knew something was about to happen. “I know the extent of my abilities. You all do not. So I need you to get everyone out and sit tight in the quinjet. Trust me!”

The look in her eyes was not the look of Y/N. Her abilities were starting to arise.

“Oh no no no,” Roscovich tsked. “They get front row seats to show! Show me what ya got, Y/N. Show me again what you can do, have you learned anything new? Show them real Phantom”

I tried to get everyone out but the doors automatically shut and locked keeping us trapped.

“Well call me Bob and fuck me running,” I heard Clint mutter under his breath.

Y/N looked at me before her eyes changed along with her hair. She slowly turned to look at the puppeteer behind this whole show, “Wrong. Move”

Right in front of our eyes, the mutants holding Y/N against her will melted like butter in a hot pan. Once she was free she cracked her neck and smiled.

“You want the real Phantom?,” she literally stepped through the force field and came face to face with Ezra. “Well here she is.. and she’s going to end you as if you’ve never existed. Making you wish you never created the thing you’ve made of her” she laughed as if she told the world’s best joke. This isn’t my Y/N.

“Y/N, Don’t! This is what he wants” Steve pleaded.

She turned to Steve and smiled like she was ever so gracious of his concerns.

“Exactly... so, let’s give him a show”

She turned back to him and raised him up in the air without even laying a finger on him.

“You want to play? Let’s fucking play” with a simple snap of her fingers he was thrown across the room.

“I suffer every day.” She raises him up in the air again, this time she contorted his limbs, them being bent in unimaginable ways and he was screaming bloody murder.

“I thought I’d taught you a lesson the last time, granted I thought I killed you. But you don’t even care what I’ve been through as long as it’s not you” her voice was so calm. It was chilling and eerie. 

“With this weight I carry of being this way, I will make sure you carry a thousand times the weight so you live with what you’ve done”

From here I could hear his bones cracking, could hear him choking. The deafening ringing increased and almost became unbearable.

“Y/N, Stop!” I stepped forward but without even glancing at me she forced me up again the wall, one by one we were all pushed and stuck to the wall. It was a preventative measure on her part to make sure she isn’t stopped.

Before our eyes there are at least two dozen duplicates of Y/N. They all stood around the room, staring at the floating, contorted man,

“You will pay for what you have done,” one of the Y/N’s said. We had never seen her duplicate like this or at all for that .

“You will forever regret your sins,” this time it was a Y/N that stood near Steve and I.

“You will suffer” - “You won’t even be able to sleep at night”- “We will haunt your dreams”- “We will lurk in every dark corner”- “Every crevice of your pathetic brain” -” “We will haunt you, you will feel us and when you do, you’ll feel nothing but pain and no one will hear you scream”- “And we will make you ROT!!”

Each one of Y/N’s duplicates spoke menacing words. The original just stood there staring, she was a predator ready to pounce on her prey.

Y/N’s eyes were phantom white but the veins around her eyes were plague black and crimson red. She snarled at her target and we could tell just how afraid he was. Her hair was glowing a blinding silver. We were used to her powers but not like this, this time they had reached their peak. She had a deathly smirk on her lips before speaking, her short fangs becoming visible.

“Try to keep me captive... try and hurt me again and I’ll make sure I choke you to death on your own blood. Slowly so you can feel the blood filling your lungs, clogging your airways with no sense of relief. No mercy will be placed upon you”

“Y/N that’s enough!,” Rhodey had seen enough, we all had. I’d seen enough of my lover act out of character, in a way that instilled fear in me to the point I didn’t know if I knew her anymore.

All the duplicates turned and stared at us. They all smiled in sync

“The deed is done” they said in unison before disappearing back into the mind of Y/N.

A blinding white light flashed throughout the room and once it was gone, Ezra and Y/N were sprawled out on the floor unconscious.

The team rushed over to her as she started to wake but I stayed behind. I was frozen, I was scared to get near her. No one touched her besides Rhodey and even then he was hesitant. Everyone else kept their space, their stance ready to run or fight incase the Phantom made another appearance.

“Let’s get out of here, we need to get back,” Steve was cautious, his eyes never leaving Y/N, not even after we got to the compound until she disappeared to our room.

We cleaned up and everyone showed up to dinner except for Y/N, she was probably resting, or beating herself up for how she acted, if she could even remember. I would check on her, but I need time to wrap my head around that whole situation.

“Rhodey... I think we need to talk about Y/N,” Natasha brought her cup to her lips

“There’s nothing to be said, Romanoff. If you continue I’d watch what is about to come out of your mouth next” Rhodey’s silverware made a loud clash against his plate.

“I’m just saying that maybe she needs an eye or a few kept on her, because what we saw back there we have never seen before. It’s something worth looking after if it meant keeping everyone safe,” she put her hands up in a surrender motion as she laid down her case.

“So you’re saying my daughter is a danger to us?,” by now he was fuming, “that is pure bullshit, Natasha and you know it”

“But is it really though?,” I question

“You’ve GOT to be fucking kidding me, Wanda. She’s your girlfriend-”

“Who I am now scared of,” I sighed and felt bad as I let the words slip out.

“In my years of knowing her and loving her I have never seen or heard her act and talk in such a menacing way. That girl back there was not the girl I love and I have a right to be scared even just a bit!”

“Wanda.” Sam warned but I just shook my head

“I was going to keep my thoughts to myself but I couldn’t”

“Thanks for telling me to my face,” Y/N’s voice sent chills down my spine. “Of course it wasn’t me back there. I did what I could to protect us and get us out of there”

“By pinning us against the wall against our will?” Steve butted in.

“To protect you in case things got out of hand!” She cried.

“I’m sorry for scaring you but seeing him flipped a switch that I tried with all my might to flip back but I couldn’t,” she wiped her tears in a frustrated manner and shook her head “My own girlfriend is afraid of me”

She gave a bitter laugh.

“I tried to calm you down Y/N, but you literally pushed me away! The two dozen other versions of you, the things you all were saying. That’s frightening to anyone. It’s enough to throw anyone off. I just need time to think,” I stood up at my end of the table, I finally had the courage to make eye contact.

“Wanda, when we got together we promised to talk things out, not run away. We connected and related to each other because of our abilities and now that you've seen the extent of mine you want to check out early. That’s not fair especially when you said you’d love me no matter what,”

I shook my head and the words flew past my lips before I could keep them from escaping, words that I knew would hurt Y/N, words that I didn’t even mean,

“Someone will love you... but someone isn’t me”

I heard the gasps, I saw the light drain from her eyes, I saw the pain I caused.

“O-okay... okay.” she nodded her head before backing away and rushing off to our shared room.

“Wanda what did you just do?!,” The look Rhodey gave me was different, he always saw me as another daughter ever since I started dating Y/N but this time he looked at me like a deranged stranger.

He rushed off after Y/N and I sat back down in my seat feeling all of their eyes on me. Judging.

“For someone who has fucked up a lot of shit with their abilities you sure have some fucking nerve!,” Sam frowned at me

“Sam!,” Steve came to my defense but Sam wasn’t having it.

“Shut up, Rogers!,” He held his hand up, “Y/N stood by you no matter how bad your powers got out of control. She was there to comfort you and remove the blame when you sulked about what you did in Nigeria”

“SAM!,” Steve called out again, everyone knew that was a sensitive topic.

“SHE was the one that forgave you first and welcomed you first when you played your witch tricks and showed us all our worst fear and damn near ruined us, even after everything she’s been through” he pointed his finger, “But God forbid she wants dibs on the guy who made her into something she hates, God forbid she wants him to suffer like she does every. single. day! God frickin’ forbid she show the very person who changed her and held her captive and killed one of the most important people in her life that she is not weak like he saw her to be. She did all that for you. She loved you despite your mishaps, you’ve scared her multiple times, you’ve hurt her before, Wanda, but she loved you so damn much she worked through it to be with you and you just want to be a coward and leave the girl on her own,” Sam’s chair screeched against the floor as he also went after Y/N.

“I fucked up,” tongue in cheek, I just sat there.

“You sure did,” Peter raised his eyebrows and took a sip of his drink.

“Underoos,” Tony waved him away “Go to the lab, it’s grown folks talking”

Peter didn’t protest, he just walked away sulking like a kid going to timeout.

“You need to fix this, and fast. I’m not sure how many straws Y/N is willing to keep pulling for you after this,” Tony downed the brown liquid in his cup and looked me dead in my eyes.

“I was in the same place with Pepper. I kept fucking up yet she’s still here with me. But I got my act together because I knew if I didn’t change something and make amends I’d lose her. Don’t lose Y/N. Go after her, kid” 

I sprinted to our room so fast you’d have thought I was Pietro. But when I got there Y/N was packing a bag and her dad and Sam were trying to keep her from leaving.

“Y/N,” I stepped over the threshold. She snapped her neck to look at me and just shook her head angrily.

“Stay away from me,” I’ve never seen her cry like this. I caused this. Her eyes were bloodshot red, she was shaking from anger, anxiety and sadness and it’s all my fault.

“No, baby ple-”

“You.” her tone was stone cold, “You don’t get to call me that anymore” she hiccupped and continued packing.

“Wanda, I think it’s best if you leave,” Rhodey pointed to the door but I stood my ground.

“No, I already fucked up, I need to fix this I need to fix what I’ve done,” 

“You can’t!,” Y/N screamed. She never raised her voice when we argued, I knew I fucked up, big time.

“You can’t take back what you said. Even if you didn’t mean it. I’d never do you like that, Wanda. EVER” she threw her toiletries in the duffle bag and zipped it up.

“You can’t come back from telling someone you don’t love them,” She tried to walk past me but I caught her bicep while she tried yanking herself away, I just couldn’t let her go. 

“Let’s sit and talk about this. Let’s solve this how we solve all of our other arguments,”

“This isn’t like our other arguments though, Wanda!” she was right.

“We can’t sit and talk on our bed, criss-cross applesauce and just gaze into each other’s eyes, We can’t hold hands and start our conversation with ‘I feel’, we can’t have a calm, loving conversation about this. I was willing, I was coming to pull you aside so we COULD but you’d already gone behind my back and told everyone else what you should have been telling me.”

I had nothing to say at that point because she was absolutely right.

“You can’t fix this. Not now anyway,” She sniffled and wiped her eyes, tightening the duffle bag on her shoulder

“I need time to think things over. Please just give me time, don’t push me. Give me the time and space I need”

“Y/N please,” I couldn’t let her run away like this.

This is our very first big argument after two years of dating. We were always that couple to walk away when we got too angry to prevent saying words that could hurt each other because you can’t take those hurtful words back. We were that couple to come back when we were calm and were able to regroup, that way we could actually solve the issue. We knew that yelling solved nothing, screaming at each other was no way to be heard, but this was completely different. I had said something way out of line and had no excuse for it other than being afraid. I didn’t talk to her directly about how I felt, I told everyone else except her.

“Wanda, let her go. You both could use some space” Rhodey came to her defense as she walked away from me.

“We don’t need space, we need closure, I can’t lose her, I can’t just let her walk away, we need closure!”

My eyes burned and itched due to the tears. I couldn’t lose her.

“Yeah well ya sure fucked up with that one didn’t you?”

“Not now, Sam! Please not now.” I pleaded. I already know I fucked up big time, I don't need him reiterating that fact.

“Well when then, Wanda? You just hurt the most precious soul on this team just because you were afraid of something you couldn’t understand. You ruined the chance for any closure when you acted the way you did. When you said the things you did”

“Sam...,” Rhodey nudged him with his elbow. “I think she gets it. I think she got it as soon as the words flew out her mouth” He gave me the most deathly glare that not even Fury could compare to.

“I’m gonna go see where she went. Don’t try to pry in anyone’s head to figure out where. Let her regroup on her own”

I was left standing there with the dresser drawers on her side of the room a mess and hanging out of the dresser themselves. There was stuff that tracked from the bathroom into our room. Small stuff like, her hair ties and her headscarf with her bonnet. I pick those to items up and felt the cool silk on my fingers. It smelled just like her shampoo. Almond milk and coconut. I had to find Rhodey and give these to him. She hates going to sleep without them secured on her head. 

I rushed down the hall and found him in the common area on the phone. I could hear her voice through the phone, it sounded so broken.

“Rhodey...“ I whisper. He looked at me with annoyance which pained me. I handed him the scarf and bonnet before wringing my hands together, “I know she hates to go to bed without them so you can take these to her”

He just nodded his head and turned his back to me and I wanted to listen in but that was not my place. She wanted space and as selfish as I wanted to be, I’m giving her that space.

I walked back into our room and shut the door. I slid down to the floor, mentally beating myself up. There really is no coming back from that. There is no fixing what I said, there’s no fixing the hurt I caused the one person who’s been in my corner this entire time.

~~~~~~~~~~

It’d been a good three weeks and I’ve had no contact with Y/N. I wonder how she was doing. I haven't been able to sleep, not without her legs intertwined with mine. I haven't been eating, not without her right there cooking with me and making sure I’m eating reasonable portions, with a healthy snack between meals. I haven’t been able to look at myself in the mirror, not without her standing there right beside me doing her hair and getting ready, or me coming up behind her and wrapping my arms around her waist. I’ve been taken off missions due to how reckless I’ve become. I haven't had her yelling at me in my ear that I better make it back on that quinjet safe.

I did all of this to myself and I just want her back. But it’s not that easy.

~~~~~~~~~~

-Reader’s POV-

My mind was a mess. How do you look at someone, who you deeply loved, that hurt you... how do you look at them the same? I still loved her, I was still madly in love with her, but she had to know that she wouldn’t get away that easily. She needed to feel what I felt.

I’ve felt enough pain in my life and for someone who I trusted to a great deal to treat me and talk about me like a monster was a different kind of hurt. It hurt worse than what I went through when I was held in captivity and experimented on for years on end. She was my light at the end of the tunnel but now it just felt like her silhouette blended in with the darkness and I was just aimlessly wandering in the dark.

When my dad calls now I keep things vague. I don't want to dwell on this much longer, it’s like picking an icky scab and not letting it heal. I greatly appreciate the effort but it’s becoming overwhelming to anticipate that one phone call and knowing the upcoming questions.

I didn’t tell dad where I went, but I told him that I was most certainly safe, with much thanks to Clint. The kids and his wife loved me so he was already more than willing to let me stay. Even though me staying here kind of put him in a bad spot since he considers Wanda like another daughter and him not being able to fill her in on my status.

Right now it was me and Laura binge watching our favorite cartoon. The Misadventures of Flapjack. 

The kids went to bed and she was just waiting for Clint to get back, he explained this mission to be all hands on deck but I temporarily “retired” so I told him these hands would not be working. It’s about two hours past his estimated time and I can tell Laura was getting worried.

“He’s Clint. He’s coming back home” I pat her knee and finished my glass of wine before going to fill my cup once again. I see why people seek comfort in wine, it mellows you out. It made me feel warm and with that warmth I used it to simulate human contact.

As I came back from the kitchen, Clint walked in with a worried expression on his face. 

“Sweetheart how’d it go? What the hell took you so long? I was worried sick” Laura got up from her seat and set her wine glass on the table before walking up to him and kissing and hugging him but slapping his arm in disapproval. I felt the heat envy run down my body. I miss doing that with Wanda when she went on a mission without me and vice versa.

He looked at me before looking back to Laura and shaking his head. 

“Hun, let me talk to Y/N alone, please”

Our breath hitched in unison, we know that was never good. Laura eyed me before sending a sad smile and heading upstairs.

“Y/N, sit down”

My body reacting faster than my brain, automatically sitting down and clutching my wine glass. He sat in front of me on the coffee table and leaning on his knees.

“I know your mind is all over the place and I don’t want to put you in even more pain than you already are but you deserve to know”

I didn’t like the sound of this. This news could be about anybody. I carried everybody on the team close to my heart and he knew that.

“Clint who is it? What happened? Don’t sugarcoat it for me, just rip the band- aid right off,” my voice began to shake and it wasn’t because of the wine, “Just say it.“

He gave a deep sigh and whatever he was about to say didn’t make sense to him, he was still trying to process this situation. He was stalling though.

“Clint, plea-“

“Wanda might not make it, Y/N”

My world literally froze. I felt like gagging, I felt dazed, like everything was spinning, like I was sucked into a black hole with no way out. I was feeling too much at once.

“W-what do you mean she might not make it, Barton. What are you saying?” my chest was past the stage of aching at this point.

“She..” He clenched his eyes shut and shook his head, “She’s been a mess... she was taken off missions because of how bad things have gotten with her since you guys separated... but since this was everyone on board we needed her but that wasn’t a good idea”

“Clint, tell me what happened to my Wanda” I felt hot tears already falling out my eyes.

“She was trying to protect Peter and Rhodey when they were getting shot at and... and she got caught in the crossfire. She’s been in surgery since we came back. That’s what took me so long,” He had tears in his eyes but he was adamant on letting them fall “Before she went out cold she wanted anyone who got in contact with you first to let you know that she never meant to hurt you and that she never stopped loving you and she’s sorry for letting her fears take over. She-“ 

He paused like he was conflicted over whether he really wanted to finish.

“She said that she’s glad it was her and not Rhodey or Peter. She said she’s glad to go out knowing she protected someone you loved.”

God why does this have to happen?

“But she didn’t! She didn’t because she didn’t protect herself!” The wine glass shattered in my hand.

“Take me to her, Clint, or at least tell me where she is so I can be there. She’s gonna make it, she has to!” I wrapped my arms around him and sobbed. I should have been there, I could have had her back.

“I’ll tell Laura the situation and I’ll take you to her. But only if you think you’re ready to see her the state that she’s in”

“Whether I’m ready or not, I need to go!”

~~~~~~~~

I rush in through the automatic doors of the hospital and saw everyone sitting with their heads down.

“Guys.” I sounded so gross and congested.

“Y/N..” my dad walked swiftly to me and pulled me into his arms

“It’s all my fault” I couldn’t stop the sobbing.

“No one blames you Y/N, so why are you blaming yourself?” Steve interjected.

I looked at him like he was crazy, “Well who else’s fault is it? Had I controlled myself that day during the mission none of this would have happ-“

A nurse shushed me but I was not having it 

“You shut the hell up” I pointed my finger at her and she just put her hands up as she walked away.

I realized I probably should try a little harder to calm down.

“This wouldn’t be happening if it weren’t for me” I shrug my shoulders as I plop down in a chair and play with my hands.

“Y/N,” my dad knelt down in front of me and held my hands, “casualties happen, sweetie. As unfortunate as it is they happen. But I know for sure she would not want you blaming yourself like this. She’s a fighter. She’s not going to give up” 

He squeezed my hands in reassurance and I stubbornly nod my head. I didn’t know how much longer I could wait for news on how she’s doing and her status.

~~~~~~~~~~

We all waited another good couple of hours. Peter curled up in the seat and biting his nails, Sam had his head hanging back and was snoring, Tony was nodding off, Bruce and Steve were fidgeting, Bucky was zoned out, Vis and Thor hadn’t said a single word since we’ve been here.  Natasha got everyone coffee, for those who were still awake, but my coffee was getting cold, I was non-stop pacing, my dad and Clint just kept telling me to sit down. But I couldn’t.

I was starting to lose hope when a women in surgical attire and blood smears all on them walked in. She takes off her mask before asking, “Maximoff?”

Everyone immediately woke and stood up. 

“What’s her status?” I stepped forward. “Please say she’s okay. I can’t lose her” I felt the tears resurfacing.

“Calm down, darling,” she held my hands, “It took a long time but there were some bullets lodged in some tough areas of her body. We actually lost her twice on the table-”

“What?!“ My voice octaves higher

“BUT, we were able to revive her and stabilize her. She’s a strong one. She was fighting to stay alive in that OR”

I felt the weight of the world finally fall off my shoulders. I crouched and hugged my knees and just sobbed. The ugly face, the hiccupping, the whole shebang. 

“She’s going to be okay. Your girlfriend is going to be okay,” The doctor crouched right down beside me in comfort. “Whatever happened between you two, you guys can finally fix it and move forward”

“How did you know?” I wiped my nose on my sleeve and sighed.

“I’m a surgeon. I see this a lot. I have so many couples come in here and have the same look on your face of fear and regret. Not everyone is as lucky as you. You guys get a second chance. Don’t miss out on it”

She was right, life is too short and too easily lost.

“When can I see her?”

“She’s still under anesthesia right now. She’ll be under for about another half hour or until she wakes up on her own. But I’ll let you go ahead and sit in there until she wakes up. Just be warned the sight you’re going to see will not be pretty.”

I nodded and she helped me stand up. Before she took me to Wanda’s room, she explained to us how Wanda would need to take it slow for a few months and go to physical therapy. 

The doctor finally leads me to Wanda’s room and I see her through the window. She looked so bad I felt another wave of tears. Her skin was greyish, The dark circles under her eyes were alarming. She was wrapped up in so many bandages all over her body. Her face was bruised. She looked dead, even though she was very much alive. She had a breathing tube in her mouth and my stomach turned.

The doctor opened the door for me and pulled up a chair right beside Wanda’s bed and sat me down.

“Try and relax. The tube will be removed soon. She’ll wake up shortly after that and you guys can patch everything up”

I gave her a gracious thank you and turned back to Wanda after she left.

“How could you be so reckless?,” I whispered as I held her hand, “How could you think I’d possibly be okay with you putting yourself in harm’s way whether we’re having a rough patch or not?”

I cried and cried, I’m not sure how I have anything to let out at this point.

“I know you, Wanda... you let pain get to you and then you just want it to end, You thought I was so upset with you that you assumed I would be happy that you were gone when I could never. NEVER, make it without you by my side,”

“Baby, you’re my everything and I’m sorry so fucking sorry this had to happen to bring us back together but we get the second chance others don’t and I don’t want to waste it”

I knew she couldn’t hear me. Or maybe she could and just thought she was dreaming.

I don’t know how much time passed. I just wanted to see her eyes again. The doctor came back in to remove her breathing tube and told me it shouldn’t be too much longer until she woke up.

I felt her hand twitch in mine and she began to cough and stir.

“Calm down, babe. It’s okay just breathe,” I stand and lean towards her, smoothing her hair down. Here eyes snapped open at the sound of my voice and instantly her red eyes flooded with tears.

“I’m dead aren’t I?,” She questioned. I looked at her as if she was crazy. “I must be... because there’s no way you’re actually here..” She cried and stared at me without blinking. She stared at me in the way that if she closed her eyes for a even millisecond I’d disappear.

“No, baby I’m here. You’re very much alive”

“You’re not really here. You hate me too much for you to actually be here.” Her face twisted in hurt and looked down.

“I never hated you, Wanda. Don’t say that”

She wheezed as she cried and I did everything I could to calm her down, she’s already in so much pain, I know this isn’t helping her situation. The bottle of water the nurse gave me, I held to her lips and helped her hydrate.

“I know this is a lot to handle right now. So let’s just appreciate the fact that we’re in each other’s presence again, despite the circumstances, we’re here. We get a second chance. I can’t risk losing you anymore. I need you. I don’t care how cheesy it sounds. I need you, Wanda. I love you so much”

“I’m so sorry, Y/N,” She winced as she turned her head to look at me, “I never meant those things I’m sorry I got insecure and so scared that I fucked us up”

I shook my head and placed my hand on her cheek.

“Everyone filled me in on how bad things have gotten with you..,” She closed her eyes and sighed, “We will talk about this when we get back home. I just need you to rest up,”

She looked at me as if she was terrified. “I can’t sleep. I can’t close my eyes, if I do you’ll be gone a-and-” her vitals started to rise and the heart monitor beeped faster than normal.

I gave her a reassuring smile before kissing each knuckle on her hand, “I’ll still be here when you wake up. I promise”

~~~~~~~

-Wanda’s POV-

I had to stay in the hospital for a few more days and take antibiotics while the doctors kept track of the condition of my wounds. Once I was cleared I was finally able to go home, with Y/N by my side.

When we got to the compound everyone was making sure I was okay before departing so me and Y/N could finally talk about the things we’ve pretty much been waiting a month to talk about.

I sat myself up against the headboard of our bed and she sat directly in front of me. 

“Before you start I want to apologize for how I acted-”

“Y/N don't do that. Don’t do that to yourself, don’t take the blame,” I shake my head at her and played with my fingers, “Just...hush for a few and let me explain,”

“No, it’s my turn to go first. Last time we had to have a talk you went first, but it’s my turn this time”

I sigh and nodded my head, remembering our last talk.

“I think it’s time I finally tell you everything. From the time I was captured and how my mutation came about. I’ve kept you in the dark about it long enough”

“Y/N, you don’t have to do th-”

“Except I do,” She looked me in my eyes and shrugged while giving me a small half smile, “I know you’ve been wondering. Dad’s been wondering. Everyone has been wondering. Everyone’s story is known except mine and I don’t think that’s fair. It’s just so fucked that I was embarrassed but you deserve to know. Especially after seeing all that you did that day.”

My lips moved to talk but I’ve cut her off enough already, and I know that’s a pet peeve of hers.

(TW for next section: Death, blood, forced child experimentation, kidnapping, guns, needles)

“I uh... I was on the train with my mom. I was 10, a day after my birthday, the train ride was something I’ve always wanted to do, I told my mom that’s all I wanted, was a train ride into the countryside. The train got hijacked by a few Norwegian men. I was the only child on the train that day. I knew exactly what I was wearing. I had on a black shirt with sunflowers and denim overalls with my heelys, I loved those things so much, I skated all the way to the train station,”

Y/N took a pause and let out a shaky sigh.

“I was skating back and forth happily chanting ‘mama look at me, I taught myself a new trick’, she was so proud of me,” I could see the tears welling in her eyes, I felt like shit for allowing herself to relive this day and experience, “I bumped into a guy and as I looked up at him, he held a finger up to his lips, shushing me, before snatching me and putting his hand over my mouth and in that moment, seven other men stood up and pulled out their guns, my mom stood up to go after me but one of them held a gun to her head,”

“Y/N, you can stop if you ne-”

“I need to talk about this, Wanda” when she looked at me the tears finally fell.

“They told her if she made another move they’d blow her head right off her shoulders right there,” I moved to grab her hands and she squeezed the life out of them but I didn’t mind, “A few people had been running so the men started firing and I was kicking and fighting the guy but he... he was like a boulder that I just couldn't move, I felt so useless”

She sniffled and closed her eyes, she took a pause and I gave her the time she needed. 

“Wanda, so much blood painted the seats and the floor...”

I ran my thumb over her knuckles letting her know I was here no matter what and I understood if she needed to stop.

“The men looked at me and my mom. Ezra, he had his gun against my mom’s forehead. He said ‘we take child and no one else has to die’, but my mom made an effort to get the gun from him but they were so much faster, Wanda, so much fucking faster”

I hated hearing this, I hated knowing this happened to her, I hated knowing that she lived with this every single day. I felt sick to my stomach, I wanted to clasp my hand around her mouth so I didn’t need to hear anymore, so she didn’t have to walk through this anymore. But she’s harbored it enough and she deserves my full attention and support no matter how much hearing this disturbed me.

“Everything happened in slow motion, it’s like I saw the bullets slowly come out of their chamber. I saw the look on my mom’s face before the bullets made contact. They... they blasted her like they were a firing squad and she was on death row,”

She let out the most heart-wrenching sob I’ve ever heard.

“I screamed so loud and hard my throat bled. When I heard you were caught in the crossfire while on a mission it felt like I was reliving that day.”

I tried my best to keep my tears at bay but that failed miserably.

“I saw my mom lie there with so many bullet entries it was unreal. Some shot straight through her and landed right at my feet. I could only imagine how dad felt when he had to identify her and then him not being able to find me,” she hurriedly wiped her tears and tried her best to pull herself together before continuing, “Once damn near everyone in the train car died, the men changed their clothes and forced me to get off at the next stop with them and act normal or else they’d kill me too. As appealing as it sounded, I complied . They took me to a secluded area before knocking me out with the butt of one of the guns that killed my mother. When I woke up I was strapped to a metal slate inside what I can only describe as a big test tube.”

She wiped my tears and took my hands back in hers.

“They captured nothing but children from ages maybe 5 to 12. They were in similar tubes like me. Next thing I know I hear blood-curdling screams. As I look around I see all the other children being penetrated with a bunch of needling all over their bodies. I look down and I start seeing the needles coming out of the casing of the tube towards me. I was so numb I didn’t even scream, not even when a needle pierced my eye and injected a serum right into it.”

She blinked fast and winced as if she was feeling it happen again. I felt my eyes sting and water at the description. I was getting uncomfortable at the fact she had to go through this, like people actually did this twisted shit.

“I was the only kid to survive out of the other ninety-nine that were there... because I was luckily number one hundred they continued experimenting on me. They’d inject me with different serums, leave me in rooms of different types of nerve gasses, they paralyzed me,” she hiccupped and stood up off the bed shaking her legs as if to make sure they still worked, making sure the feeling was still there, “They’d put me in different mind-altering situations. They’d beat me until my abilities started to surface and that wasn’t even until I was thirteen.”

She started pacing and I could tell she was starting to panic but she ignored my advances to calm her down.

“Once they started to show it got worse. They’d tie me up and put me in baths with dry ice, burning me. My only way to save myself was to remove a part of my subconscious and personify it to get me out. They’d lock me in vaults with deadly snakes, spiders, anything. Tie me down in a tube and remove the oxygen so I couldn’t breathe, kind of what like Wade went through. They temporarily made me blind for months on end so I wouldn’t rely on my eyesight to see my enemies and fight. They made me deaf, so I didn’t rely on my sense of hearing. I couldn’t hear my own screams. They purposely wouldn’t let me sleep so I would hallucinate, it was like experiencing death first-hand without actually dying. They tortured me up until I was 17 when I was able to kill most of them”

She finally stopped pacing and looked me dead in my eyes.

“They named me Phantom because when they forced me to hurt and kill other people the victims looked at me like they saw a ghost. Because I stalked and haunted the victims like an evil spirit. Because they fucked up my genetic code so bad it was practically gone, to where I pretty much don’t exist right now, Wanda. Because when my abilities are triggered my eyes turn a blinding white. Because I was a pawn for years to do their dirty and when I showed up on surveillance all they could see was a white cloud... like an apparition, a phantom that haunts the lonely roads...”

She sat back down with me on the bed and shook her head

“One day in my cell, the different parts of my subconscious personified themselves on their own and they helped me take them down. Seeing Ezra still alive that day triggered something horrid in me and I couldn’t turn it off. When I found my dad I felt human again. He never stopped looking for me but he came up with no luck until one day I showed up in dirty white scrubs.”

That was only three years ago. She was able to adjust to normal life some how within the span of a year, then she met me.

I hugged her tight and cried in her shoulder, I felt selfish for not even trying to understand her predicament.

“When dad helped me adjust to normal life again and the team found out about me and my abilities they accepted me and helped me use them to save people. To use them for good, to rewrite my story for a better outcome, then I met you and you were just like me and I felt whole for the first time ever”

“And I r-ruined it” I stuttered.

I picked my head up and looked at her with so much regret I felt like I was going to be sick and pass out.

“You didn’t deserve that, any of it, not from me, or them. Anyone,” I brought her body close to mine and she curled right into me, “Let me make this right”

“Wanda we’re already on the road to making things right. Yeah the things you said broke me, but we can work to mend it. I’ve probably said some things to hurt you before but we’re in this together and I don’t want to focus on mishaps. I want to focus on the now. And right now I just want to lay in your arms and love you and have you love me.”

I lay down and pull her close to me, kissing all over her face. I missed this. I don’t want to lose this ever again.

“That can be arranged,”

We were far from perfect and a lot of work had to be done on my part to fix this and gain her trust back, but I was willing to do anything for this woman that was here in my arms like a koala to a tree. I don’t care how long it took to mend us, as long as we became one again, that’s all that mattered to me. 

I want her to know how sickingly in love with her I am, it’s almost annoying to some. I would accept and love all parts of her. 

I would madly and truly love the being that is Y/N.

I will madly and truly love the being that is Phantom.

This time shouldn’t be any different, right?

Part 13 - Titan

A lot happened after that.

After saving Strange, sending the pale alien out into open space, “knighting” Peter as an official Avenger, and finalizing their objectives, the group decided to face off with Thanos on Titan. Rather than bring the fight back to Earth, it was better to surprise him on his own turf. Of course, [Y/N] had strong objections with this plan at first, but thinking about it objectively, she had to agree. There would be countless casualties in a battle that Thanos had envisioned for Earth. Rather than allow such an event, it would be safer for everyone to have them face off the root of the problem far from their loved ones.

When the ship crashed onto the planet, the team was unprepared for the sudden landing. The metal broke apart right as it hit solid ground. Tony and Peter tried their best to steer the ship, though they didn’t know how to properly work the controls, while Strange and [Y/N] worked hard to protect the group from the impact. He utilized his magic to protect the area around them while [Y/N] used her powers to provide a sturdy barrier that draped around each individual person.

Everything was sparking, the machines all torn apart, but due to Strange and [Y/N]’s joint efforts, none were harmed. Though a bit disoriented by the landing, they were all safe and soon quickly got up.

Before the team could feel at ease with their situation, trouble had to come knocking. Right when Peter finished warning the team with another one of his movie references, an object rolled on the ground and stopped in the center of their small circle. [Y/N] could barely collect her thoughts when it suddenly opened, a flash of light and energy propelling each and every one of them backwards.

Her powers instinctively shielded her from the blast, allowing her to come out with no broken bones but with some minor bruises. She was starting to feel very annoyed, and immediately shrouded herself in a blanket of air and energy, promptly turning invisible before anyone could lock onto her.

“Thanos!”

A gruff and unfamiliar voice yelled out, a mixture of anger and impulsive rage, as Strange quickly protected himself with magic to stop the flying knives from finding their mark. The stranger roared, his skin a grayish color with odd tattoos, that looked more like engravings, all over his body. Before he could get another sound out, however, Strange sent out his cloak that swiftly tied itself around the new arrival’s head, muffling all his incessant shouting.

Iron Man and the stranger with a weird helmet fired at one another, the two flying with their tech. When it seemed like Tony had the upper hand, the helmeted man chuckled to himself as he pressed a button. Looking down at his chest, Tony saw a foreign object near his arc reactor that hummed with energy and a strong magnetic pull forced him onto one of the metallic objects of the ship.

“Tony!” [Y/N] called out, causing the helmeted man to be momentarily confused when a voice seemed to come out from nowhere.

She ignored the attacker’s confusion as she used her powers to help wedge Iron Man off of the metal he was stuck to. It wasn’t easy. The magnetic force of the object was surprisingly very strong. It was a joint effort to pry him off.

When Iron Man was finally free, he immediately rushed off to the fallen alien, who was still struggling with the sentient cloak. The moment Tony had his arm out, ready to shoot, the cloak let go of its prisoner and returned to Strange. Seeing this, the helmeted man grabbed Spider-Man, who was entangled by a strange, possibly electrical, rope and pointed his gun to the kid’s head.

[Y/N]’s heart skipped a beat, seeing her friend being held hostage in front of her, and quickly shot out a wave of energy to enclose around Peter’s body. She wasn’t sure how strong the weapon was nor if her powers were able to defend from a fatal blow at such close range, but if she was stupid enough to take on an infinity stone [Author’s Note: Part 7 - War], then she was damn well brave enough to take on a hit from an alien gun.

“Everybody, stay where you are!” The man yelled with the weapon still pointed at Spider-Man’s head, “Chill the eff out!”

[Y/N] was just about ready to send out her powers to wrench off the stranger’s arm away from Peter when the man reached over to his helmet and pressed a button. It quickly came off him, revealing a human face underneath that mask. She was stunned, surprised to find someone who looked human rather than an alien like his other comrades.

“I’m gonna ask you this one time. Where is Gamora?”

“Yeah, I’ll do you one better,” Tony instantly replied, his helmet coming off too, “Who’s Gamora?”

“I’ll do you one better,” the alien under Tony’s foot challenged, “Why is Gamora?”

Now this left [Y/N] baffled. Their demands were something that none of them were expecting. The sudden fight didn’t really startle them too much, considering they were now on enemy territory, but the reason behind the battle left all present very confused.

“Tell me where the girl is or I swear to you, I’m gonna French-fry this little freak.”

The moment that man said those words, something in [Y/N] just snapped.

“Do that and I’ll burst your body like an overfilled balloon,” [Y/N] warned, her voice dripping with an icy, murderous tone.

This was a first for her. She was even startled by how calm she felt even though those bone chilling words had exited her own lips, but upon further thought, she found this change to be natural. After witnessing so much, fighting alongside many people, and seeing first hand how some of her friends had fallen… How could she not have hardened her heart? Besides, in this line of business, killing wasn’t unusual. It’s just… She’d never actually openly taken a life. It was all in self-defense. Would she come out of this battle unscathed?

It wasn’t just her that was shocked by her words. Both her own team and those against her were also surprised. The group that had started this fight was startled to hear a voice without some sort of body. Clearly, [Y/N] was still invisible. Her friends, on the other hand, were feeling many emotions. Strange might not have known [Y/N] the way Tony and Peter had, but he still understood her character enough to know she wasn’t a hardened killer. That’s when everyone’s emotions shifted from shock to distressed.

Her friends were especially distressed when the two realized that the conviction in her voice held no trace of a lie. It was a promise, those words she said. Seeing how far she’d go, it was enough to show how much she endured this whole time. She did not want to lose any more of her friends. She did not want to sacrifice any more of her loved ones’ lives. Just how much did she see? Just how much did she suffer to come this far?

“Just try it, creepy disembodied voice,” the man taunted, calling her bluff.

The sad part was… [Y/N] wasn’t bluffing.

Before she could do anything rash, Tony quickly interjected.

“Let’s do it. You shoot my guy and I’ll blast him!” Tony indicated with his outstretched arm, his suit shifting into a blaster that was equipped and ready to shoot at the alien’s head.

“Do it, Quill!” The gray alien under Tony called out, his eyes never leaving the barrel of the blaster pointed right at his face. “I can take it.”

“No, he can’t take it!” The female alien countered, clearly worried for the gray alien’s life.

“She’s right. You can’t,” Strange agreed.

“Oh, yeah?” The man, Quill, scoffed, “You don’t wanna tell me where she is? That’s fine. I’ll kill all three of you and I’ll beat it out of Thanos myself. Startin’ with you.”

The moment [Y/N] heard his gun hum to life, her whole body went stiff. Her energy that was sent to wrap protectively around Peter began to twist and turn, being fed more and more power as [Y/N]’s focus zeroed in on her friend’s captor. She was just about ready to attack when Strange interrupted her murderous thoughts.

“Wait, what? Thanos?” Strange repeated, puzzled. “All right, let me ask you this one time. What master do you serve?”

“What master do I serve?” Quill mocked, clearly not understanding what Strange was getting at. “What am I supposed to say? Jesus?”

“You’re from Earth,” Tony concluded, a bit annoyed and no longer feeling the need to fight.

“I’m not from Earth. I’m from Missouri.”

“Yeah, that’s on Earth, dip-shit. What are you hassling us for?” Tony questioned, now completely fed up with this man.

“So, you’re not with Thanos?” Peter asked.

“With Thanos?” Quill repeated, now completely confused. “No, I’m here to kill Thanos. He took my girl. Wait, who are you?”

He finally put down the gun, and [Y/N] followed and withdrew her powers that were building up, ready to explode. She was still wary of these strangers, but she now knew that they were no longer their enemies.

“We’re the Avengers, man,” Peter replied as his mask came off.

Hearing those words, Quill released Peter and let out an exasperated sigh. He was also irritated to hear that his long-awaited revenge had not been fulfilled.

Seeing this, [Y/N] dissipated the energy shrouding her, becoming completely visible for all to see. Those that didn’t know who she was were stunned to find a woman appear out of thin air. Now they knew where the “creepy, disembodied voice” was coming from.

“You’re the ones Thor told us about!” The female alien said.

“Thor?” [Y/N] exclaimed, no longer showing the icy emotions she felt when Peter’s life was in danger. “Did you say Thor? He’s alive?”

~

[Y/N] was very clear on the plan, but never was she so disgusted with the enemy that she wanted to abandon all logic and just bash his psychotic head into the ground.

His plan was sick. Just a snap of his fingers and millions - no, trillions - of innocents would just vanish from the face of the universe. No one would be spared by such a feat and yet that was his ultimate goal. To purge the universe of its over accumulating population so that none would have to go hungry to the point of extinction again. He acted like a prophet, sacrificing his time and efforts for the good of the universe, but it was just the twisted ravings of a madman.

Mercy? More like cruelty. Everything he spouted was inhumane. A monster in every way.

“I think you’ll find our will equal to yours,” Strange said.

“Our?” Thanos repeated in confusion.

That was the signal. Following that, Tony barreled into Thanos with a piece of the alien spaceship, crushing Thanos beneath the unimaginable weight of the metal. Dust clouds emerged from the ground and flew outwards from the impact, draping the vicinity in a thick layer of dirt and dust. But even that wasn’t enough to stop Thanos.

A purple glow shot out from where Thanos was hit and the metal broke apart, revealing himself to be uninjured and free. He yelled out in anger from the surprise attack, using another stone to change the metallic debris into a swarm of bat-like creatures that rammed into Iron Man.

Everyone worked together after that. There was no time or room for a breather.

Hitting in any possible way, propelling one another towards Thanos for another hit, and dodging so as to not lose their lives. That was the fighting style that everyone took part in. It was complete and utter chaos, yet still there was some semblance of rhythm. There was no gap to allow Thanos time to use his infinity stones. Even the surprising new addition, the blue woman who was also looking for the girl named Gamora, didn’t hinder their plan. In fact, she followed along and joined in on their battle. And no one seemed to question it. As long as it was an enemy of Thanos, she was deemed a friend.

Strange and [Y/N] were on support. He would portal several of the team towards and away from Thanos while [Y/N] used her powers to protect them from most of the damage on behalf of the others. Her hands were now bruised all over, taking hit after hit, but she disregarded that familiar pain and pressed on. The others threw punch after punch, causing Thanos to be bombarded with attacks from all around.

The goal was simple. Get that gauntlet away from Thanos.

Finally, all their efforts were paying off as they had succeeded in getting Mantis, the female alien on Quill’s team, onto Thanos and forcing him to go under. With everyone struggling to keep the purple giant in place, it was Tony and Peter’s job to pry off the gauntlet from the semi-unconscious Thanos.

But everything went to hell in just a single moment of impulsive anger and grief.

“He… He mourns,” Mantis cried as she felt the swirl of emotions going through Thanos’ head.

“What does this monster have to mourn?” Drax, the tattooed alien, questioned as he strained to keep Thanos’ arm down.

“Gamora,” the blue newcomer answered, realizing the truth.

“What?” Quill asked as he turned away from Thanos and towards the blue alien.

“He took her to Vormir,” she replied, “He came back with the Soul Stone. But she didn’t.”

Tony knew what those words meant and tried to calm Quill down. The whole team was already struggling to pry off the gauntlet from this monster, so it was unwise to let one act of anger mess up the whole plan. But even [Y/N] could sense the unrest within Quill that the truth had ignited. She understood the anger and pain he was feeling, but she also knew this wasn’t the time to act. Not yet.

“Don’t!” [Y/N] pleaded as she struggled to keep Thanos down alongside the rest of them. “It’s not time yet! Don’t!”

But it was too late.

Shit! [Y/N] internally screamed as Thanos finally broke out of his trance.

Everyone holding onto Thanos was flung off the moment he regained his senses. The plan was crumbling before everyone’s eyes as the monster regained the upper hand and separated the team into all different directions. Some fainted from the intense blow of the infinity stone while others were desperately trying to evade the onslaught of debris from the destroyed moon that Thanos had sent their way.

Tony tried to fly away in time but was caught up by a massive piece of the moon while Peter and [Y/N] quickly set out to save those that couldn’t dodge for themselves. However, before she could actually put in the effort of saving a few of her new comrades, something appeared below her feet. Her brain couldn’t process what was happening in the heat of battle, and she couldn’t stop what came next.

Gravity worked against her and just as [Y/N] recognized the magic at play, she heard his voice.

“You are needed elsewhere,” the culprit said, his voice cracking with exhaustion.

“Stephen!” [Y/N] yelled with all her might in both disbelief and fury as she fell through the portal to places unknown.

That was all she could scream out right before disappearing from Titan.

[PART 14]
