The third Maximoff

Chapter 51

"I got to it first!" Tommy claimed as they each pulled on one end of a controller.

"You always get to it first!" Billy argued back.

"Pietro please help" you begged your brother who was simply seated on the couch.

"Alright you two, play fair" Pietro started as the kids looked to see Wanda casually walk downstairs looking like a mess. She ignored you all, moving towards the kitchen with her bathrobe flowing behind her.

"I'm gonna go check on her" you slipped past the boys and back into the kitchen. "Hey Wand, how are you feeling?" You asked as she poured a bowl of cereal but the milk carton kept changing like the controllers.

"I'm fine" she claimed before taking a bite of her cereal after sniffing it.

"Okay" you nodded, following as she entered the kitchen.

"Have you seen your dad?" Wanda entered the living room to find all three boys playing video games.

"Um, no?" Tommy shrugged.

"Do you wanna go look for him?" Billy looked up with a suggestion.

"Well, if he doesn't wanna be here, there's nothing I can do about it." Wanda shrugged simply.

"Wanda" you scolded her from behind her in shock at what she had just told her kids.

"Here's the thing, boys. I'm your mom. And as such, you were counting on me to have all the answers, right? Well, I don't. I have... no answers. Zip. Zero. Zilch. Nada. Niente. I'm starting to believe that everything is... meaningless. You're welcome to draw your own conclusions, but that's just where I'm at." Wanda told them after changing the Chanel on the TV. The boys stared at her with worry and confusion, including Pietro. She sat between her sons and pushed her own brother off the couch from where he was sat on the end playing with her twins.

"Somethings not right" Pietro crossed his arms from beside you.

"Really? What gave that away?" You snapped at him as you've been trying to tell him that all morning. Wanda suddenly opened the door with her powers, Agnes soon walking straight inside.

"Hi, Agnes. Come on in. I'd get up, but I just don't want to." Wanda laughed as her sons looked to her with confusion and Agnes looked to you for answers. You only shrugged and shook your head towards Agnes, not knowing if you could tell her about what was really going on.

"Hey, boys, why don't we give your mom some 'me time'?" Agnes offered an idea to the kids.

"Agnes, are you sure?" You asked.

"Oh, abso-positively. Come on, let's go, guys." Agnes smiled pulling the kids off the couch and away from their mother.

"Do we have to, Mom?" Tommy whined.

"Mm-hmm." Wanda nodded eagerly at the idea of time to herself.

"Someone needs to be here to take care of you." Billy told her.

"Aww!" Agnes chimed in.

"Boys, I'll be fine! Just go with Agnes." Wanda claimed pushing them out.

"I promise I won't bite." Agnes told them.

"Agnes, you are a life-saver." Wanda said. "Is there anything I can do for you?" She offered to the woman.

"I do have a suspicious mole on my back that I just can't see. Ah. Boundaries. I get it. Say no more. All right, gentlemen, let's keep it moving." Agnes started before taking the kids out. Wanda turned back to the tv before she noticed you and Pietro standing and staring at her from the same spots.

"What?" She asked you both in confusion as to why you were staring at her like that.

"Really Wanda? You just pushed your own kids out of the house, you don't care where Vision is even though he's been missing last night and you're a mess today what's wrong?" You asked her gently.

"Nothings wrong, I'm fine" she told you again and you looked to Pietro, not believing a word she says.

"Well, we are going to leave you alone for the day, right y/n?" Pietro guided you towards the door.

"What? No" you started until he caught you onto his idea. "Right" you nodded along.

"Have fun" she waved you off, not even bothering to look at you as her eyes were glued to the screen in front of her.

"Where do we start?" Pietro asks as you stepped out into the street.
