“There are other heroes around here to help people, they will be able to do it while you rest,” he didn’t know what could happen to her if she continued, but he had a feeling that it may not be something good. She already seemed to be drained, if she continues without resting even if just a little, who knew what would be the consequences?

“I don’t know, but they would be a good help, even though we are handling it, the more help we get, the merrier,” he didn’t know why they weren’t helping, but they were doing a lousy job in doing what they were assigned to.

.｡.:*☆ “We can only hope so, can we?” Wanda was still not entirely convinced, mostly because, well, she had learned to not rely onto the help of others, until those people were Avengers as well. They were the only one she was willing to trust.

“But, I am fine. And we should maybe make sure those who are injured will be able to see a doctor, or not?”

Nebula nodded. Pragmatic and practical, laced with that Terran flair for the dramatic. At least she did not see Nebula as an enemy, didn’t seem to recognize her at all. Had this version of Terra not even met the Gardens? Would she be starting from scratch? (Though that could be better than starting where she’d had to in her universe… At least she had nothing to apologize for here.)

 There would be time to sort it out later. Nebula turned towards the building and scanned it – people were still streaming out of every exit they could find. All except one. “There is someone pinned on the third floor,” she announced. “I will retrieve them. Keep this building stable until then, concentrate,” she said, looking at Wanda. “You can do this.” She had seen and heard the tales of this woman’s power. She knew what she was capable of. The Witch had nearly defeated her father’s plans, it was nothing to trifle with. Nebula gave her one last nod, and then bolted into the building. 

.｡.:*☆ Wanda was aware that everyone was trying to get out, but, that did not soothe her worry that the bulding would fall before everyone was safe. “Alright,” she gave the blue woman a small nod, having no clue why the other could be so confident about her and her abilities. “And, I have to, right?”

There were prisoners attacking her, again, and it made Wanda angry - enough for a new wave of power flaring up, her eyes turning all red when the man fell to the ground, knocked out by a storm of red energy, followed by a scream. “You will not... make me falter!” The witch yelled, even more determined than before.

“Figures,” Tony said. There was no bitterness to his words, just a small huff of a humourless laugh. Wanda Maximoff had seen right through him, cut to the core within a moments of meeting him. She knew his deepest fears more intimately than maybe anyone else in the world, and it should’ve only increased his paranoia, but it didn’t. Despite their complicated history, Tony had always felt as if there were more similarities between them than differences. Wanda was a good person despite her mistakes, and she didn’t look at Tony like he was a reminder of the building that had been dropped on her, though Tony wouldn’t have blamed her if she did. He wouldn’t have blamed anyone for hating him, not with the blood on his hands.

Blood that he might never get the opportunity to completely atone for, now. He looked down at the table between them. “First question I asked too,” he mused. “A year, at most. Probably shorter given my, uh … medical history.” He rapped his knuckles against the arc reactor in his chest, shielded by the thick shirt he wore. “Definitely sounds like that. I’ve been through everything. Called every doctor in the state and outside of it, rang up Helen Cho. No doctor will touch me with a ten foot pole, and the ones who would say I-” He cut himself off, swallowing thickly. “They say I wouldn’t come out of the surgery the same.” Tony’s power was his brain. There was nothing else that made him a hero, and if he lost that, what use was he? “Please.” The word came out quieter than he intended, but he knew she heard it. “I know. I … I haven’t even told Pep yet. We’re going to Paris this weekend.” He looked up, meeting her eyes. “Nice romantic getaway, huh?”

.｡.:*☆ “Then there might be other ways.” Not that Wanda could really know. But, he knew her. He knew other Avengers and mutants and what they were capable of. He was fukcing Tony Stark. He could find a solution.

 “Tony,” one hand reached forward to be placed on his. “I do not want to be that person, but, fuck, I will kick your ass if you decide to just give up like this.” This was most likely something Nat would have said. Obviously she was having some bad influence onto Wanda. “Not saying it is going to be easy. And I also will not... decide anyone for you. You will talk to Pepper. And everyone else. But don’t you dare to try to deal witht that all by yourself. Do you hear me, Tony? We are over with this. We have to be.” Because, now, it seemed like they both needed their family. Though, to be fair, Tony most likely needed them the most.

“And, not romantic, no. But we can not have everything, right?”

Wanda. Clint’s heart skipped a beat in his chest when he heard her voice. Hesitant and cautious, brimming with emotion. Why did it have to be her? He remembered all the moments they’d shared together, telling her how to be an Avenger, convincing her to fight with Cap in Germany. To control her own fear. 

Was she afraid of him now? “It’s not important,” he said, holding his stance but making no move towards her. He wouldn’t hurt Wanda, but god, looking at her was painful. The way her hair flashed in the light… “I know who you are. What you can do,” he called out, keeping his voice low and gruff, so unlike his usual tone with her. “Do us both a favor and walk away from this. The city needs you.”

.｡.:*☆ “You do?” Damn. She hated situations like this. And Wanda also knew how easy it would be to just have a look into his mind to find out what was going on. But that would not be fair. So she had to resist the urge.

“Also, I did come to offer you my help.” One step forward to make clear she was not afraid. There was no reason to, after all. “You should not turn it down, especially when you know what I am capable off. This here - this people, they are insane. You should not want to face them all by yourself. Believe me.”

“If I knew all of them, I would totally fill in the blanks!” Kate called back with a grin. Perhaps she shouldn’t be quite so thrilled to get back into the swing of things, but it had been a long time since she fought in her old stomping grounds. L.A. had been amazing, but there really was nowhere in the world like New York City. “It turns out they’ve been waiting on me coming back! Does this make you guys my welcoming committee?”

Kate ran through the many encounters she’d had with the Tracksuits in the past. She dodged one of their punches, wondering how to condense it, and then she decided to go with the most simple explanation, yet effective, she could come up with. “They have tried to kill Clint many times!” Behind her, a few of them said Clint’s name along with what sounded like Russian swear words, and Kate held her hands out. “See? They just keep proving my points!”

.｡.:*☆ “They have tried to kill Clint?” That was nothing that did sit well with Wanda. Sure, she maybe was not exactly close to him - she was not that close to any of the Avengers, sadly - but she still considered him her friend. 

“That just did earn them a spot on top of my list. No one has told them yet it is not good to try and kill my friends, right?” And, while Wanda for sure did not enjoy this the same way as kate did, it was good to have a reason now to be active. To kick some asses and help out her friend. “Be so nice and leave one or two of them for me, okay?”

The way she fell to her knees, showed to him what he already thought before, she was drained, she used too much her power. It could drain someone, to hold an entire building, it could be a lot, and not everyone could do it so easily.

“Doesn’t matter how it happened, what matters is that we got to save them, they are well and alive,” he assured her. “Maybe you should rest a little, you used a lot of your power, may not be a good idea to use them so soon.”

.｡.:*☆ “Not sure if I am going to have the time to rest, actually.” Wanda knew what the Raft could do to people. She may not have been there as long as some others, but that didn’t mean it had not been affecting her. Sitting there like an animal in a cage. Being shocked whenever she only thought about using ehr powers.

“It’s funny, thought,” she then said, looking at the other. “The goverment always does so much to control people like us. But where are they now? Where are they when we actually need them for once?”

Harley walked down the street, baseball bat in her hand for protection. She hadn’t seen chaos like this for a very long time, and hadn’t heard people screaming in terror while the bad guys took over in even longer. Part of her wondered if she should use whatever had caused this as an opportunity to go back to her roots and do what she did best – cause trouble, and kill. But if she did that, there was a chance that she’d end up back behind bars, away from her fiancée and her friends. No, she had to stay out of trouble. She had too much to lose. 

Feeling the ground shake beneath her feet, Harley was snapped out of her thoughts. As she looked straight ahead, she noticed a woman with glowing hands – it looked like she was keeping the building in front of them together somehow. While she was doing it, some familiar faces were trying to attack her while she was distracted. “D’ya need some help?” Harley asked, swinging her bat and knocking one of the men out. As much as she didn’t care about the fate of the city, she didn’t want innocent women and children to get hurt. 

.｡.:*☆ “I would actually not complain about it!” While Wanda did not approve the violent way the woman was working, she would also not complain in this very moment. There were not many options left for her to choose from, after all. Not to mention, it was nice to have someone who would have her back while she was holding the building together.

“Did everyone get out?” She asked a man carrying out a child, a woman following close behind him. “Did everyone get out of the building?” There was no way to tell from where she was standing, but Wanda also knew she could not move, or she would only make everything worse.

superbxyclxne‌:

It was not that hard to him to take everyone out in seconds. One second they were inside the building, on the other they were safe. Their faces of relief showed just how scared they were inside, which was already expected.

He wouldn’t ever get how criminals could do things like this without feeling guilty. He supposed that was what made him a good person. “You can let go now, everyone is out, everyone is safe,” he also felt a relief, now she could rest, and the civilians were out.

.｡.:*☆ Wanda felt like the guy had gotten the people out just in time. Her powers faded, and the building went down. All she had left was the hope that he was right. That there was really no one inside anymore.

“Thank you...” Falling to her knees, Wanda tried to catch her breath. “I still have no idea what happened, but obviously they had been fighting here. Then someone threw something, and the walls started to break down....”

[ofcscarletpowers]

❝ When you walk outside there are three elements of nature that you must avoid: snow, wind, and bees. ❞

.｡.:*☆ A small chuckle escaped Wanda at this statement. “That does sound like I would be better off with staying at home like ninety percent of the time,” she mused. “Any reason why this three of all things possible?”

“Hey, Red!” Zatanna’s eyes glowed as she approached the one they call Scarlet Witch. She’s seen enough and traveled enough to know who she was and with Strange as her friend, the name’s been dropped here and there. “I got twelve o’clock. You watch my six!”

Her new friend looked exhausted and Zee wasn’t going to allow her to crumble. Her gaze on the collapsing building, Zatanna began her incantation. “  skcor dna ssalg eulg kcab rehtegot”  Her focus remained on the building as it came back together and she hoped the civilians made it to safety as she did so. “How are we doing, Red?” Zee shouted over her shoulder with a smirk. “Not bad, huh?”

.｡.:*☆ “ “Hey.... Zatanna, right?” Wanda was almost sure the two of them had never met personally so far, but the name of the other had been dropped now and then. And, then she had also been checking the face belonding to it, just to be sure.

Not to mention, she was thankful for the help, making one of the men trying to attack Zatanna crumble to the ground with maybe more force than needed. Wanda was not only exhausted, she was also angry. Not to mention all those memories of the Raft messing with her head.

“Colour me impressed.” A small, breathless chuckle followed. “Is that something Strange did teach you?”

Jess didn’t have any shortage of reminders of her past. She might not have been capable of scarring, but she carried the memories of her time in Hydra, and what they had turned her into, day after day, just like she always carried the fact that her parents had used her as an experiment before she was even born. There were few people in the world who knew what that was like, and most of them were back in the place she vowed never to return to.

Wanda, though, she was an exception. An exception that Jess welcomed, even if she wasn’t entirely sure about how to approach her. “What haven’t I done?” she asked, with a small smile. “I played around on the West Coast for a while. Los Angeles, San Francisco, a quick stint in Madripoor.” Jess’s smile grew softer around the edges, and she looked at Wanda for a long moment. “Secrets are my stock in trade, that much is true,” she said, “but not when it comes to people in the same boat as I am – the same side I’m on. I didn’t think I’d see you again after I left, to be honest.” It was one of her biggest regrets, walking away and never looking back, but she hadn’t been strong enough back then to go back and help others. She liked to think she was strong enough now.

.｡.:*☆ “Guess you’ve seen the world then, huh?” Completely different from the life Wanda had been living. Sure, with the Avengers, she had been at some places, as well. But it had always been work. And they had not always been welcome. And now, when having the chance, Wanda had no idea where to go anymore, even. Which places she would like to visit. Not to mention that Tony needed her.

“Me neither. Not that I have been searching for anyone, to be honest,” she thought for a moment. “I wanted to leave HYDRA behind me. Me and Pietro... we did join them for the wrong reasons, after all.”

“Boss, we have a situation in Brooklyn,” FRIDAY announced as Tony streaked across the sky. He almost asked her which situation she was talking about, it felt as if the entire city was burning, but then he spotted the familiar flare of red on his HUD. He immediately went into a nosedive towards the pavement, landing on his knee and sending several drones from the back of his suit to push the building Wanda was holding back into place.

“I’ve got the property damage!” Tony called over to her, pushing himself up to spread sealant from his gauntlet over the cracks, enough to sustain the building integrity at over ninety percent until they got someone down onto the scene. When that was secured, Tony landed beside Wanda, turning to her and allowing the mask to retract for a moment so he could meet her eye. “Breath for me,” he told her. “Yeah? Breath with me, in and out.” He reached his hand out to rest on her shoulder. “You’re not alone. Do you want to take the civilians and I’ll handle these guys, or the other way around?” Once an Avenger, always an Avenger – that’s what he had told her before, and he maintained it now.

.｡.:*☆ Wanda was more than relieved to hear Tony’s voice. Maybe she was considered being stronger than him - who could really know that, after all - but that did not mean she was able to handle everything without any help. And, right now, said help was really more than needed.

Turning her teary face to him, she breathed like he had told her, the knot in chest slowly vanishing again. “I am fine, and.... get those people out there? Please? You are better with the social things. I am for lifting the heavy stuff, usually.” A dry chuckle followed the statement. “Also, i still have to thank this guy over there for trying to kick me earlier!”

It was startling, to see familiar faces in another universe. Nebula had grown used to the sensation, but it could still be jarring if she was caught unawares. The shaking around her did not help — when she saw the source, she strode forward immediately.

“You will exert yourself,” she warned. “I do not know if you remember me, but I am a… friend,” she said, the word still strange on her lips. “Allow me to help you, before you kill yourself and everyone on this street, including the innocent.”

.｡.:*☆ “Listen,” Wanda said, getting a glimpse of the blue woman after one of the villains was finally knocked down. “Doesn’t matter if I know you, or not, as long as you are willing to help me.” Everything else, they could talk about later, if needed. If Wanda would not pass out until then.

“Can you get those people out there?” I can hold the building for some longer, if needed, but I have no idea how many of them are still in there.” The rate her voice was shaking was making clear that Wanda was acting stonger than she felt. But she had no other choice. It was as it was. If she would falter, people would die. And that wasn’t really an option.

It felt like he hadn’t stopped moving since news of the raft reaching land had blared across every medium available. He had seem numerous familiar faces - or at least, familiar masks - throughout the streets attempting to keep the city safe, but at this point the situation seemed to be a full-scale riot. He heard the cracks and the now familiar sound of breaking glass as he rounded a corner. Skilled eyes took in the scene quickly. Woman, arms outstretched, red aura around her hands…was she causing this? Judging by the guys in the very distinctive prison garb she kept trying to fend off, he was willing to bet the opposite.

Rapid-firing two arrows, he managed to tie up the ankles of two would-be attackers. “Are you holding up that damn building?” Oliver’s tone was 100% impressed awe. “How in the Hell…?” he trailed off long enough to shoot an arrow at another would be attacker, smirking as another went down all tied up. Chump change. He was sure Conner or Kara or even Bruce must have all the fun ones somewhere in the heart of the city. “You, uh, you got that? Because if you’re gonna drop that someone needs to light a fire under everyone’s asses to start running.”

.｡.:*☆ Wanda had not been hoping for help. She knew, even when the other Avengers were somewhere near, they would most likely have their plates full, as well. No, she needed to deal with this alone somehow. However, there suddenly was a voice, and arrows flowing, and thankfully hitting those trying to attack her.

“I got it.” her voice was hoarse, and eyes red fronw using her powers on such an intense level. But Wanda would not falter. Because people would die if she did. “Just, maybe you can get the people out there? I really have no idea how many are still inside. Maybe they need help.” She would do it herself, sure. But then the bulding would fall. And burry everyone who was running for their life right now. “Please. I am really not sure for how much longer I can keep doing this!”

Mera had seen the building coming down, there wasn’t much she could do in helping the women hold it up but she was sure she could offer assistance ensuring that the innocent people escaped along with taking down the villains who deemed her weak enough to take.

Without wasing any time Mera used her powers pulling water from the fire hirents blasting all the criminals away from the inncoent people running for their lives. It was easing hold the water and the other’s at bay. “How much longer can you hold that building?” She questioned the other.

.｡.:*☆ Wanda caught only a glimpse of the other woman, still too concentrated on not fainting from using her powers so much.

“For as long as I have to,” she said anyway, though, her hoarse voice made clear that Wanda was struggling. She was powerful, yes. But she had not been fighting or trainign much over the last couple of years with not being an Avenger anymore.

“Just the people need to get out. Then all will be good.” Or, at least, that was what Wanda was hoping.

[ofcscarletpowers]

ofhopevandyne‌:

Hope opened up her door to see a stranger. Well, Wanda Maximoff wasn’t exactly a stranger. Hope knew who she was. She’d seen the news reports about her, and she knew about her involvement with the Avengers, especially with how she’d been on the side Scott was on.

Given that she was a part of that, Hope was surprised to hear that Wanda still considered herself a friend of Stark. He was directly responsible for her getting locked up. “You mean the guy who got my- Well, at the time he was my- Right now he’s my-” It was all complicated to explain. They weren’t dating when Scott had gotten caught exactly. They hadn’t gone on even one date yet. Now, they had just gotten back together after they’d pulled Hope out of the quantum realm, but what did that make him to her? Her boyfriend? Her partner? The love of her life? The man she wanted to spend the rest of her life with and get married to and help him take care of and watch over and advise their daughter? “Stark got Scott put in jail and then on house arrest. I can’t say I’m a fan. I’m sorry you have to be his friend.” She wasn’t a fan of his for more reasons than that. “But I know of you. You can come in if you would like to.” She stepped to the side of the door, leaving it open for her.

.｡.:*☆ “He did put me into jail as well. But he had no other options back then.” It was true that Wanda had not trusted Tony because of that for the longest time. But she had grown. She had learned that things did not always go the way one wanted. That you could fight sometimes, and still would lose in the end. That you would have to live with the consequences somehow. That being a hero did not always meant to be treated fair.

“It does not excuse it, maybe. But still.” A small smile as she slowly stepped inside. Wanda really was not good at this. “See, I really did not come to defend him, just...” Well, truth was, she did. Wanda knew that Tony needed friends. Even when he maybe would not admit it loudly. “It does just seem like all the Avengers drifted away, and... the two of us never really had a chance to talk, either - right?”
