Wanda's POV

I check the time on my chipped red, shiny iPhone for what seems like the millionth time since the next episode of B99 started. 11:01 flashes on the screen, pepper doesn't have many rules but doesn't like when we stay out too late even-though she's aware of Peter's identity but overall is pretty laid back with that type of thing. Usually I wouldn't be as worried as I am but at about 7:30 I got a message from Hill saying that Peter was on a war path & that I should probably talk to him about it but now he seems to have disappeared off the face of the earth. I sigh thinking back to that small period when everything was normal again before the fighting started, when I would spend hours in the library with vision of when I would teach him the differences between spices. The android the only person not afraid of me, well, that is till Peter showed up always being nothing but kind to everyone, until the fighting started. I wonder how it all went so wrong maybe we never really were a team, Tony & Steve have never really gotten along all that well, it was obvious enough to pretty much anyone who spent time with the two in the same room. Director Fury, Hill & Coulson are the only ones to know where Peter and I are, it definitely has taken its toll especially with Peter joining a new team & having a boyfriend not being able to tell them everything more so to protect them if anything else not wanting to drag them into the mess we have found ourselves in the middle of. I jump as the door slams shaking the entire house, Peter storms through faint red tear tracks staining his cheeks throwing his back into the wall he slides down pressing his over his eyes trying to hold back the next wave of tears. He looks up tears glistening "Fury gave us a mission, we have to go back or at least I do and I'm not sure I'm ready to face any of them, not sure I ever will be" I pull him close not saying a word my mind going a million miles an hour.

Peter's cries eventually cease though my strong embrace doesn't my mind still reeling, 'whats gonna happen, I can't let him go alone, what about his team' I sigh I knew that inevitably one day our paths would intertwine again I just hoped it would be longer but life doesn't roll that way at least for us it doesn't. I can sense Peter's emotions rolling off him in waves sadness, anger, confusion, fear, relief. He pulls back looking to me asking the predicted question "what am I supposed to tell the team, I already let slip more than I wanted to, Wanda, what do I do, i-" I cut him off as derails into a panic rambling "you tell them, maybe not everything but explain why you don't want to go back to the Avengers at least, they deserve that much" I say despite knowing that it's not exactly what he wants to hear but it's not always about what he wants to hear it's about what you need to hear no matter how painful that may be

Peter's POV

I lay in bed everything running through my mind the bright, digital clock on the beside table flashing 2:00am, figures, sleep comes close only to slip from my grasp seemingly millions of miles out of reach. Thinking back to Wanda's words I know I have to listen though a part of me the more stupid, reckless, impulsive side wants to run again, run and forget everything, leave it all behind but I can't, I can't do that to Sam, or any of them. The one time I want to be selfish it would be at the expense of everyone else and can't knowing they effects it would have on them all. I had to completely power off my phone to stop the onslaught of calls & messages from the team, I couldn't face them, still can't. As my consciousness slips I think of how I'm not sure I'll ever be ready to do what I have to

The Next Day

I breathe out my hand hovering over my phone open on the group chat no idea what to say, how to even start. Blowing air out my nose in suspense I send the address saying underneath that I'll explain everything but to come here ASAP. I message the guy on gate security, I mean it's Pepper Potts's house we're living in, to make sure they'll grant access to the team. Wanda walks down the stairs towards the kitchen adorning red, silky PJ's gifted to her by Pepper as a late birthday present when we first moved in nobody besides myself had wished Wanda a happy birthday. Wanda begins on breakfast, the smell wafting through the house making my stomach rumble, though that could be the nerves. I begin pacing back and force trying to ignore Wanda's gaze burning holes in the back of my head "Pete, relax, everything gonna be fine" she attempts to sooth me to no avail, I freeze as the door opens a flash of golden hair slipping through, Pepper's back though I don't dwell on it long. Some how I manage to pace my way onto the ceiling, Pepper looks at me worriedly "Peter you need to relax, you freaking out won't help" but her words fall on deaf ears as well. Everything is silent as a knock on the door resounds through the room, Pepper, bless her, opens the door to 4 shocked teenagers who stare in awe at her. I jump down from the roof silently going on to play glare at Pepper "pep, stop embarrassing me" she turns to me with a raised brow "you do just fine on your own in that department I doubt you need any assistance" she sasses back, the team snapping out of their daze turning to me. They all starting yelling well mainly Luke & Ava, Sam just stares but that hurts more than the yelling. Red magic drifts through the room encasing Luke & Ava making them go silent, I roll my eyes. "Wanda, you can't do that. Please be the wonderful sister that you are and leave my friends alone" I pull the puppy eyes not oblivious to the way Sam tensed when I said her name but deflated again at the word sister, it hurts that he trusts me that little but at this point skepticism is the least I deserve. Wanda diverts the attention of the 3 by using magic to transfer food from the kitchen to there plates, my phone buzzes

Captain Eye Patch: It worked.

I freeze rereading the text a thousand times over, it worked, now I have that on top of everything else. A hand intertwining with my own pulling my attention from panicking, Sam looks at me nodding his head to the door gently tugging my hand to follow him. Looking back Wanda winks making sure the others don't notice. Once we step outside Sam wraps me in a hug his tears falling on my shoulder he throws punch after punch into my chest I try to hold in the grunts of pain my ribs having been broken in a bank robbery before this hole shit show began. Sam yells at me and I faintly notice the mist covering the house obviously cancelling out the noise. I manage to maneuver us to a seat away from the windows in a secluded corner that I tend to hide in when I need a break from everything. "Sam, I never wanted to tell anybody because i'd rather it remain in the past a part of my life that rather pretend never happened but I'll tell you because you deserve to know & I didn't want to lose you like I lost.......well that doesn't matter. But Sam you have to understand I've lost so many people & I can't lose you, I can't lose anyone else but if you still wanna know I'll tell you" and I do, I tell him a lot of stuff I rather have kept close to my chest but I trust him, it just took a little while for me to realize that myself. I turn my head meeting Sam's vibrant, glistening, emerald eyes my hand drifting up to cup his jaw pulling him close brushing my lips over his before placing a soft, heartfelt kiss on his lips that taste like strawberries and salty from the tears. I rest my forehead with closed eyes on his, letting just one tear fall landing on Sam's cheek. I clasp his hand with my own as we walk back into the house & I explain in less detail than I did with Sam the story of my life. After everyone leaves to get ready for the mission starting in two days time I let my mind wander back to Fury's message. I lost so many people, Wanda did to but to have the chance to bring one back, if I can give her back a something I'll do it and I did, only question now is how I tell her but it'll have to be put on the back burner for now our mission is to stay with the mighteous heroes themselves, the Assvengers
