TW: injuries, blood
Pov Wanda
I catch y/n as she collapses. What just happened?
"Y/n?" I ask but don't get a reaction. She totally blacked out, that can't be good!
But right now I can't really do anything about it, especially not here. I gently place my arm under her legs and pick her up bridal style. Her body doesn't react at all to my action, making me worry even more.
The glow underneath her suit stopped. I have no idea what that was or where the magic she worked came from. It helped to keep us safe but I am still skeptical about it.
Some of the men on the ground groan a little and I decide that it's not safe for us to stay here. This might not be the best plan right now because I am kinda exhausted but I have to fly us out of here.
My grip on her tightens, so she won't fall before I concentrate and slowly start to hover above the ground.
Until now, I always used my hands for stability and control but I need them to hold y/n right now, so this is a little more complicated. But I have to push through, for my girlfriend.
We rise higher and I realize, that I have no clue where we are and how to get back. But the fact that y/n came here quite quickly means, that it can't be too far away from where we live. It might not be smart to go back there but I don't have any other idea.
I look around and decide to fly into one direction, just following my instinct. Y/n doesn't move in my arms and I get more and more worried that something is severely wrong. There's blood dripping down her left temple but I have to concentrate too much on flying to have a closer look.
The higher I rise, the colder it gets and when I almost think this isn't gonna help me, I see the belltower of the church in Hamilton. A little relieved breath comes over my lips and I start flying into that direction, lowering us again, so neither of us will freeze.
It is quite a way to fly and I assume, y/n got here with a bus or train because it would take a long time to walk over here. If I dug deep enough in my memories, I might find her telling me how she got here but everything after the first night in that base is blurry and thinking about it gives me a slight headache that I can't handle right now.
I fully concentrate on flying and look ahead, holding onto y/n tightly, so I won't drop her.
It's hard to keep my thoughts at bay. There are so many that need to be thought about but I know if I do that now, I'd either lose concentration or break down. Both would lead to me falling down and the both of us crashing into the ground.
So, I ignore my thoughts and speed up the flying a little.
After around an hour, my energy level gets pretty low but I can't give up now, I can already see our building and since there is no one around, I decide that it is safe for now.
I carefully land in front of the building and look at the door. I need a key to open it, which I don't have since I was kidnapped. But y/n should have one, probably in her backpack.
I gently get down and place her on the ground, not quite happy with that but I need my hands to look in her backpack. Usually, she has her keys in a small extra compartment up front. So, I roll her a little to the side, just so I can reach her backpack and unzip the little pocket. Luckily, the key is in there and I take it before lifting her up again.
It takes me a few seconds to fumble the key into the lock but once I opened it, I kick the door further open and carry y/n inside.
We don't live on the highest level and also have an elevator, so I can take it to get to our floor. There I open our apartment and quickly shut the door behind us. I listen if there is anyone in here but it seems to be calm, so I lock the door again and cautiously walk towards our bedroom.
Not a lot has changed since I was taken. There are a few more things laying around, all from our lowest drawer but that's not a surprise since she is wearing her suit.
I place her gently down on the bed before sliding the backpack off her shoulders, so she has it more comfortable.
For a few seconds I consider changing her but getting her out of that suit would be a lot of work and I think she needs to rest now. But I do take her shoes off and go to the bathroom to get a cloth and our little medical kit.
I settle down next to y/n on the bed and carefully clean the wound on her temple. There are little splinters of metal that cut her skin and I carefully remove them with tweezers. She doesn't move while I do so and I worry that she is really knocked out cold.
Once it's all clean and free from metal, I bandage it and bring the rest of the stuff back into the bathroom or throw it into the trash. Then I use my magic to put like a shield around our apartment, so no one can come in not even when I'm asleep.
I hop under the shower and change into my pajamas. It feels good to be back here and with y/n.
My eyes stay on her as I reenter the bedroom and I lift her body a little to pull out the blanket from underneath her. I get into bed next to her and gently kiss her forehead.
"Please wake up soon, sunshine, I need you." I whisper and cuddle into the blanket.
I don't sleep very well that night. Nightmares haunting me and the worry about y/n driving me insane.
What if she isn't just unconscious but in a coma or something similar to that?
I can't keep her here then, I'd have to bring her to a hospital. The thought scares me quite a lot. I can't protect us when she's away from me.
With all that in my mind, I am more than happy to see she moved the next morning. She isn't laying flat on her back anymore like last night. She's laying on her side, her face halfway smushed into the pillow and the blanket pulled up to her shoulders.
I let out a breath of relief and sit up a little, looking at her. She really managed to save me out of the hands of Hydra, all by herself. There aren't many people who could have pulled that off.
But she somehow did, with the help of that weird purple glowing thing. I need to ask her what that was when she is awake again.
But for now I let her sleep and move to the kitchen, making us some breakfast because I know we both need it after yesterday. I carry a tray back into our bedroom and place it on the nightstand on my side. Then I climb back into bed and gently kiss her healthy temple.
"Wake up, sleepyhead." I whisper and feel my heart beating in my chest, scared she won't wake up but for a different reason.
To my relief, she stirs awake and her eyes flutter open. For a few seconds she seems disorientated before her eyes settle on mine and a soft expression lays itself on her face that makes my body warm up.
"Good morning, daisy." She says in her raspy morning voice and yawns. I smile, she seems to be fine so far.
"Good morning, my sunshine. I made us breakfast because I would bet you're hungry." I say and as if on queue, her stomach makes a noise that makes me chuckle a bit. She grins and rolls onto her back.
"I am." She agrees and shuffles to sit up and lean against the headboard. I carefully grab the tray and place it on the bed between us.
For the next couple of minutes, we eat in silence and I am just happy that we are both alright after all of that shit.
Once we are all done eating, I put the tray away again and sit criss-cross, facing y/n. She glances around the room.
"Are you sure, we're safe here?" She asks, concern lacing her voice. I nod and take one of her hands, giving it a reassuring squeeze.
"I put a shield around our apartment for now. But you are right, we should maybe think about moving if we don't want to risk anything." I say and she nods, relaxing a bit.
"I thought Hydra didn't exist anymore." She starts and looks a little thoughtful.
I hum, so she noticed too that we were fighting against Hydra. I didn't tell her after I found out, mainly because I wasn't really sure at first and also didn't want to scare her.
"I thought that too but it looks like they were trying to reinvent themselves. And it also looked like your father led the whole thing..." I sigh and y/n nods. I don't mean that accusingly, it's not in the slightest bit her fault. I was just very surprised when I first saw Cole, that's all.
"He isn't really my father." She says silently and looks down into her lap, fiddling with my fingers.
"What?" I ask, unsure what exactly she means by that. I mean, I would totally understand if she would want to distance herself from that man after what happened.
"He told me after he caught me. He told me all about his plan and that he isn't really my father, he pretended to be because he wanted to get closer to you over me." She tells me, her voice getting silent and her eyes are glued to our intertwined hands.
I am not sure how to respond to that. On the one hand I am glad, that she doesn't have to process that her father is working for or with Hydra but on the other hand, I can imagine that it's really hard for her to process, that he lied to her about all of this.
Especially, after she had quite a hard time adjusting to that thought and accepting to it. And to top it of, the thought of being used to actually reach a different goal must hurt.
I gently raise my hand and cup her cheek with it, rubbing soft circles over her skin. Her head lifts and she looks into my eyes.
"That's a hard pill to swallow but you're gonna be okay eventually." I promise and she nods a little before leaning a little towards me and I change my position and sit down next to her, letting her cuddle into my side. One of my arms wraps around her shoulders while the other strokes over her hair. So much happened in so little time and there is still a lot we need to talk about.
A/n: Y/n is well and they are back at the apartment, so all is fine.
Thanks for reading and love to you all <3
