seeing scarlet

It never ends. Each trial is harder than the last. Wanda Maximoff. The Scarlet Witch. Mother. Sister. Twin. Daughter.

“Please, just give me a moment.”

“Attempting may be all we have. I think I could just settle for being alive and being able to appreciate the good and beautiful things in life. I think all we have been through only makes the goodness that much more precious. As they say, the flower that blooms in adversity is the most rare and beautiful of all,” he said with a genuine, sweet smile. “That is a good thing to believe. I only hope that I can be someone you are glad to know and to have given a chance to.”

"Being alive is a good place to start. You're very wise, did you know that?" Wanda smiled back at him. "You already are."

                     "Yeah, my powers are definitely electricity… or lightning.                          Can you guess why my other alias was Asgardian?“                   Billy crossed his arms over his chest defiantly, furrowing his                          brow at her. He was still snippy after his accident,                             however it was focused at himself more than                                 anyone else. He motioned to his leg in a                         cast and the gunshot wound on his side though that                          part was covered with his shirt to hide something                             he definitely didn’t want people knowing of.                                      It was his body, right? He could                                          cauterize it if he wanted,                                                                 (even if it hurt like a bitch)                                  and no one could tell him otherwise.

                                               "It’d be a little hard for me to do any training unless                                                    you’re thinking of things I can do sitting down.”

"I can assure you that you are not Asgardian." Wanda chuckled. He was sharp, but she was determined. She took in his wounds with a furrowed brow, but she didn't lecture him on it. Not yet. She wasn’t entirely sure that she wanted to play the role of the mother who scolded, because he was nearly her equal in age. She did car for him though. “I spent the first few months with my power sitting down. We can start stationary and gradually change when you heal.”

“That’s… actually a really good way to put it. One of my friends basically adopted me as his sister, so I figured this was as good a place to settle down anyway.”

"Did he? That's very kind of him. I find family to be the most important thing."

“But I have Ultron’s virus inside of me. If Bruce’s firewall fails…” He did not like to think about that possibility, but it was a truth he could not deny. “I will try to do that.” He was fighting it as hard as he could, at the very least. He did not want to lose all that he had so soon after being created. Though his emotions were dulled, the hand on his face was nice and comforting for the moments it stayed. “I cannot help it. I care for you greatly.”

[maximoffinscarletarchive]

"And I have HYDRA inside of me. If the firewall fails, Bruce can make another one, or Tony. There are people who care about you and want to help you." At his willingness to try, Wanda gave a small but grateful smile. "That is all I can ask." Hiding her hands as she wrapped them around herself once more, Wanda glanced back up towards the Vision. "I care for you as well."

“People say that so the downtrodden will second guess themselves.”

“You don’t need to settle. Nobody deserves to be in a cage.”

"I am not downtrodden, I just wish to be so cautious that second guessing myself is not needed."

"I am also not settling. I will be out of here in good time."

I am the Scarlet Witch…and I remember everything.

“I would as well,” he said honestly. “Maybe with our combined minds we might be able to figure out what a normal life is since both of us are far from it.” It was said with a smile. He found no shame in being far from normal. It simply was who they were. “You have most certainly made an impression. If either of us is in danger of being too kind, I fear it is you. You accept me so willingly. It is a nice feeling.”

"We can at least attempt to. If needs be I will settle with stability and except that normalcy is something that I may never be able to fully find." She admitted. "It's acceptance in return of acceptance. I believe in giving people a chance to prove who they want to be."

newlybornvision:

“You…are not a monster, no. How easy would it be for me to become Ultron? One mistake and something could go wrong. I fear that. I fear hurting people. I fear hurting you.”

"Easy, I'm sure. But aren't we all one step away from becoming monsters?" Wanda raised a brow. "Having the potential to harm does not mean that you will follow through. If you are afraid of becoming a monster, then use that fear to make sure you don't become one. That's what I do." It wouldn't have been hard for her to receive that label. After all, she was the reality twister. Over stimulated. The one who could get in your head and hurt you. Feeling sympathetic, she reached out and briefly rested her hand on his face before pulling away. "Do not worry about harming me."

“It certainly seems so. There are numerous peoples here who are unlike any other Midgardian I have met. I hope you are doing well with the chaos, it is not overwhelming, is it? Asgard has no queen. She was slain, so we are in mourning.”

[maximoffinscarletarchive]

:Diversity is one of the few things that SHIELD can boast." Wanda agreed before she fell silent for a moment. "Only at times, but I am working through it. As for your queen, you have my sincerest apologies."

[maximoffinscarletarchive]

newlybornvision:

“How can you be so sure? I am not far from Ultron and he is undoubtedly one.”

"I can be sure because I have come face to face with monsters, and you have an empathy they lacked. Yes, you are similar to Ultron, was I created by HYDRA. Does that make me a monster? You did not pick how you were created."

[princeandprotector-deactivated2]

“I think you shall be right in time. I fare well enough. I am glad for the business of Midgard, it keeps me from many cruel thoughts of Asgard.”

[maximoffinscarletarchive]

"I suppose that we shall see. This place is busy, isn't it? Almost too much so for me on occasion. Is there something wrong with Asgard?"

[ofbiitterness]

[maximoffinscarletarchive]

“You are not a monster.”

[maximoffinscarletarchive]

princeandprotector:

“This world is most strange to me. Though enough of that. How do you fare, my friend?”

"I'm sure you will grow accustomed to the strangeness. I am well though, thank you. And how are you?"
