(New York)
(Nine Days Later)
Y/N's POV
It's been nine days since our mission in Lagos and the whole teams morale has been low especially Wanda, she blames herself for what happened and the news keeps saying she's a villain.
I walk over to mine and Wandas room because I wanted to check on her and when I get to our room I see the news report about Wanda on the tv.
News Reporter: What legal authority does an enhanced individual like Wanda Maximoff have to operate in Nigeria?
After hearing this I grab the remote and shut the tv off.
Wanda: It's my fault.
Y/N: That's not true.
Wanda: Turn the tv back on. They're being very specific.
I walk over and sit on the bed next to her.
Y/N: What we do....we try to save as many people as we can. Sometimes, in most cases that means we don't save everybody. If we can't find a way to live with that...then next time...maybe nobody gets saved.
I put my arm around her and kiss her cheek. She then leans into my neck and wraps her arm around me.
Then Vision phases through the wall.
Wanda: Vis! We talked about this.
Y/N: Yeah, come on. We go over this everyday.
Vision: Yes, but the door was open so I assumed that...Captain Rogers wanted Mr L/N to know when Mr. Stark would be arriving.
Y/N: Okay, thanks. We'll be right down.
Vision: I'll use the door.
Vision then walks to the door and turns around.
Vision: Oh, and apparently he brought a guest.
Y/N: We know who it is?
Vision: The Secretary of State.
He then walks out.
I then notice Wanda was worried.
Y/N: What's wrong?
Wanda: What if he's here to arrest me for what happened?
Y/N: I won't let that happen.
Wanda: But it's a possibility.
I grab Wanda's hand.
Y/N: They'll have to go through me to get to you. Come on.
Then Wanda and I head downstairs.
After going downstairs, Nat, Wanda, Steve, and I sat on one side of the table, while Rhodey, Holland, Sam and Vision sat on the other side of the table, and Tony was in the back in the corner.
Ross goes on to explain how many people see the avengers as a threat given how many peoples lives were lost during the battle of New York, Washington, Sokovia and more recently Lagos.
He then tells us about the Sokovia accords and that the avengers will be told where to go by the UN panel. He also said the UN will be meeting in Vienna to agree to the accords.
Ross then goes to leave.
Natasha: And if we come to a decision you don't like?
Ross: Then you retire.
Ross then leaves the compound.
After Ross leaves, we go into the main room and talk about what to do based on what we heard about the accords.
Rhodey: Secretary Ross has a Medal of Honor, which is one more than you have.
Sam: So let's say we agree to this. How long is it gonna be before they LoJack us like a bunch of common crimals?
Rhodey: 117 countries want to sign this. 117, Sam, and your just like, "No, that's cool. We got it."
I then speak up.
Y/N: Fuck, Rhodey, How long are you going to play both sides?
Rhodey was about to answer when Vision speaks up.
Vision: I have an equation.
Sam: Oh well, this'll clear it up.
Vision then says that the strength and enhanced abilities invites challenges from other people and it brings conflict which in turn leads to catastrophe.
Rhodey: Boom.
Sam and I shake our heads.
Natasha: Tony, your being uncharacteristically non-hyper-verbal.
Steve: It's because he's already made up his mind.
Tony: Oh, you know me so well. I'm actually nursing a headache. That's all it is Cap, pain and discomfort.
Tony then gets up to get a cup of coffee and he pulls put his phone and shows us an image of a young man.
Tony: Oh, that's Charles Spencer by the way. He's a great kid. Computer engineering degree, 3.6 GPA and had a floor level gig at Intel planned for the fall. But first he wanted to put a few miles on his soul, before he parked it behind a desk. See the world. Maybe be of service. Charlie didn't want to go to Vegas or Amsterdam like I would have wanted to do. He decided to spend his summer building sustainable housing for people oh, in guess where, in Sokovia.
We all realize that Charles Spencer was there the day we fought Ultron.
Tony: He wanted to make a difference I suppose but we'll never know as we dropped a building on him while we were kicking ass.
Tony comes closer to us.
Tony: There's no decision process making here. We need to be put in check and whatever form that takes I'm game. If we can accept limitations, if we're boundary-less than we're no better than the bad guys.
Steve: Tony, if someone dies on your watch you don't give up.
Tony: Who says we're giving up?
Steve: We are if we're not taking responsibility for our actions. This document just shifts the blame.
Rhodey: I'm sorry Steve, but that's dangerously arrogant. This is the UN, we're talking about. It's not S.H.I.E.L.D., it's not HYDRA.
Y/N: Yeah, but this thing, this document is run by people with agendas and agendas can always change.
Tony then walks over to us.
Tony: That's good. When I found out what my weapons were capable of in the wrong hands, I shut it down and stopped manufacturing.
I look at Tony.
Y/N: But you chose to do that Tony. We sign this we surrender our right to choose.
Steve: Y/N is right. What if this panel sends us somewhere we don't wanna go? What if there's somewhere we need to go and they don't let us go? We may not be perfect but the safest hands our still our own.
Y/N: Exactly.
Tony: If we don't do this now, it's gonna be done to us later on.
Wanda: You mean they'd come for me.
Y/N: I won't let that happen.
Natasha: Maybe Tony's right.
I look at Nat in shock.
Y/N: I can't believe this.
Natasha: I'm reading the terrain, Y/N.
Sam: Aren't you the woman who told the government to kiss her ass a couple years back?
I look at Holland.
Y/N: What about you? Your being quiet.
Holland: I agree with Tony.
I shake my head.
Y/N: Bullshit.
Holland: Y/N, you told me that the government would come after me. So I left. But I came back and I don't wanna look over my shoulder for the rest of my life. If signing this accords is best then we should do it. This could help get the peoples trust back.
Y/N: I don't believe this.
Natasha: Holland's right. Maybe this is how we earn peoples trust back.
Tony: Hold on, I coulda sworn you just agreed with me.
Natasha: Oh believe me now I wanna take it back.
Tony: No, no. You can't take it back. Case closed, I win.
Then everyone starts arguing and then Steve stands up.
Steve: I'll be right back.
Then Steve leaves the room.
Then I start to walk away.
Wanda: Babe, Where are you going?
Y/N: I just need some air.
Then I leave and clear my head.
