Ellen Hollman as Rogue in Play For Keeps (2020)

𝐖𝐀𝐍𝐃𝐀.​

wanda didn’t know if she’d ever get used to being in the spotlight like this. though she wasn’t sure what kind of life she imagined for herself, it wasn’t one like this. there was a lot of scrutiny, and while it wasn’t new to her, it still caused her a bit of stress. “how long have you been doing this hero thing?” @asscmble​ 

"  𝐑𝐈𝐆𝐇𝐓, that hero thang, ” anna’s nose scrunched as she pondered the response, thinking back to well, everything. “  ah can’t say it’s that simple, wanda.  ” the brunette with the white streak glanced to her left and then her right before the mutant gestured for wanda to follow her to an empty seat on the park bench, away from the crowds. “  sugah,  ” she sighed. truthfully anna hadn’t always thought well off wanda, but then again, people haven’t always thought all that well of her either. “  awhile, but it still ain’t any easier than it was when ah started, but . . . the people, the ones we call family, they ain’t half bad.  ” because anna knew as well as anyone she wouldn’t have been able to do it on her own.

𝐒𝐓𝐄𝐕𝐄 𝐇𝐀𝐃 𝐊𝐄𝐏𝐓 𝐇𝐈𝐒 𝐏𝐑𝐎𝐌𝐈𝐒𝐄, albeit without the attire that garnered attention that could rival the iron man suit, but still, he came. tucked away amongst the crowds with the brim of his navy baseball cap pulled down just above his eyes, steve maneuvered through the group cheering for ‘ 𝐈𝐑𝐎𝐍 𝐌𝐀𝐍 ! ’ in unison. high pitched acknowledgments of awe, children dressed up as their favorite hero and the pushy fans with outstretched hands just attempting to reach tony were some of the contenders steve had to face as he passed a girl willing thor’s arrival into existence as she shouted for the blond god. at least she has good taste. 

but it might have been his own manners that becames steve’s downfall that afternoon in the crowd. stood in the back, he watched tony go on with a self-serving speech, that type that miraculously could further inflate the playboys own ego; who knew that was even possible. a high pitched giggle had pulled steve’s gaze away from the stage and towards the ground as a group of three children ran past him, all dressed in oversized costumes of iron man, captain america and spiderman. it should be noted the child dressed as cap held onto a plastic toy replica of 𝐌𝐉𝐎𝐋𝐍𝐈𝐑, someone was ahead of their time. 

but as the blond super soldier stepped back to accommodate for the path of miniature heroes he had stood in, steve stepped back on a woman’s foot. a quick turn and hand to her shoulder to keep her from stumbling back accompanied by the words, “  i’m sorry, ma’am,  ”  weren’t all too common. though bets could be made the dead giveaway was the way she was starring at steve. “  ma’am ?  “

now, her intention had been to go steal jean away for a few moments but when the small child with red hair ran up to her with the kid’s mother following in a rush, it was a moment anna couldn’t interrupt. so scott it was. “  those new ?  ” anna questioned with a vague gesture of a gloved hand to his combat visor. “  and you haven’t seen logan around, have you ?  ” guess that comic fan she bumped into earlier was still alive and well and a statement she quickly shook her head at. “  never mind that last part,” she waved a gloved hand to dismiss it entirely.

‘  decision made... i'm taking the damn name, ’ she thought. but that wasn’t her memory, and for the third time within her two weeks of arriving, rogue was hit with yet another flash of someone else's past, something that wasn’t hers but felt as real as the card her grip tightened around. “  so you comin’ ? can’t keep jean waitin’.  ”

anna had an event of her own , her jacket sleeve didn’t quite reach her wrist and her skin was exposed as she reached for an apple in the supermarket . . . the exact same time someone else did & with her power control going back to 2012 that meant she couldn’t help what happened next. so for the rest of the day she suddenly had a need to draw. yup , one of the comic book artists featured at the festival , who also happened to be a massive 𝐖𝐎𝐋𝐕𝐄𝐑𝐈𝐍𝐄 fan , not so much fun .

𝟷𝟺. 𝟶𝟻. 𝟷𝟸 . . .  𝟷𝟼:𝟶𝟶

anna decided to brave the crowds & visit hope and jean , but stuck to the outskirts with extra precautions that meant wearing a turtleneck & it got hot quickly so she bowed out & might have run into wolverine , the fan boy still was in there somewhere from yesterday , and that was embarrassing.

𝟷𝟻. 𝟶𝟻. 𝟷𝟸 . . .  

dressed in her favorite brown leather jacket & emerald green gloves , with a more striking resemblance to her superhero counterpart , anna marie spent the day with everyones favorite 𝐂𝐀𝐉𝐔𝐍 . . . but if he tries to get another cat . . .

steve sighed, pulled down the bill of his navy baseball cap and shoved his hands into the pockets of his dark blue bomber jacket. keep a low profile. but it was at that moment he had glanced up, the soldier’s blue gaze followed the words across a flyer, ‘ 𝐂𝐎𝐌𝐈𝐂 𝐁𝐎𝐎𝐊 𝐅𝐄𝐒𝐓𝐈𝐕𝐀𝐋 ! ’ printed on a background of a comic book, his comic book. right, that promise to tony, keeping appearances, keeping things the same, keeping things . . . “  hey sa—  ” 

the blond’s brow creased from behind the bill of his cap and against better judgement, kept his focus on the familiar face he wasn’t supposed to know, not yet. but he did despite the sudden glance to the ground or turn of his shoulder to lessen the obvious acknowledgement.

“  FUNNEL CAKE ?  ” the words slipped past her lips with that missippi accent dripping from each syllable like honey from a spoon. “  that better be what ah’m standin’ in line for.  ” anna craned her neck to peer past the balding man in front of her, the mother with two toddlers in front of him. and in fact, no, not the funnel cake, but for a signing. a COMIC BOOK signing. “  well ain’t that just peachy,  ” she rolled her eyes and adjusted her left glove, a bright emerald that held a stark contrast to her otherwise subdued color pallet. maybe she really was out of it, standing around just because a bunch of others were ? 

‘ this ain’t like me, off my game like a swamp bug to a bright light, ’ she thought. 

“  if ah wanted to stand in line for a bunch a men in tights . . . well, i know a few too many with egos to match.  ” she turned her attention from the blonde to the man in front of her who had just peered back at the girls. “  comes with the tights i think,  ” anna leaned in for a moment to tell the taller stranger before she gestured for him to turn back around. “  so, you lookin’ for those funnel cakes, sugah ? 'cuz ah sure am now.  ” and some answers, but wandering around asking the wrong questions to the wrong people wasn’t exactly a game plan. 

“  what do ya say we team up ? sniff out those goodies together ?  ”

❝  fine, physically. i think we are all a little roughed up mentally. this is new for everyone, and it won’t come without reliving experiences we might want to forget. how are the others ? have you seen them ? have you seen bucky ?  ❞

where are you living? the same place you lived in 2012, or displaced to a random apartment? explain to the best of your ability.

❝  that’d be correct, the same s.h.i.e.l.d issued apartment in new york, and everything looks exactly like i remember it.  ❞

❝  we need to stop thanos. all those people who lost their lives, who made sacrifices, it’ll all be done in vain if we don’t stop him before it’s too late. home can wait, it will have to and that’ll be the next mission, get the stones, stop thanos, get back home and save who we can.  ❞

what will you DO about the situation at hand?

❝  whatever it takes to make this right. sacrifices need to be made and i’ll make whatever necessary to achieve our goal. i’ll save who i can, when i can. people are counting on us . . . on me, i can’t let them down, i won’t.  ❞

is there anything that you think needs to be done?

❝  yes, we need to keep a low profile and make sure we don’t do anything to upset . . . time. it won’t be easy and we won’t walk away from this unscathed. the scientists, they need to study this, figure out what is going on. we’ll round up as much help as we can, secure the stones, keep potential threats at bay and keep away from personal vendettas that would upset anything in the future, and that won’t be easy, for any of us. some things we’ll need to sit out, others, we can use to our advantage. we have a good team, i know we can do this.  ❞

if need be, would you be willing to team up with the government and SHEILD to recoup and help the situation at hand?

❝  as of the year of 2012 i was. and for the sake of their knowledge, i am, but the government, s.h.i.e.l.d., you know the truth. we can use this to our advantage and stop what we can, but trust isn’t a luxury they’ll ever be afforded. they aren’t what they were made for, and we’ll expose that.  ❞

what are your worries?

❝  that this might be too much, too many situations we can save but we won’t because of what it could mean and do to the future. we can’t afford to be selfish.  ❞

what do you think are the pros about this situation?
