Some days were fine or at least manageable. Wanda busying herself with helping the world, or maybe cooking, or doing absolutely anything that could work as a DISTRACTION. It was on those days that Wanda could act as though she were okay, could even smile and laugh and joke. But then would come the DARK moments. The moments where she could recall everything that had been ripped away from her, waves of panic that would sweep over her. The memory of her parents, her brother, of watching her lover die not once but twice, and that sensation of just FADING AWAY. And here he had found her and had immediately clued in on her state of mind. Hands trembling, heart racing, green eyes distant until she heard the familiar deep voice and they snapped to him. Calm down, he had said. She NEEDED to calm down. With powers tied so heavily to her emotions, of course she needed to.
❝ ——— I am fine. ❞ A lie spoken so easily from her lips but she forced herself to at least FOCUS in the moment. Her body wasn’t disintegrating into ash, no one was dying in that immediate moment. Though when she closed her eyes, Wanda could see each death so clearly, of bodies that had run cold and would no longer move again. Every life lost in the past few years stretched out before her. ❝ What, um——— are you here for something? ❞ Yet another DISTRACTION.
