__________✦ WHETHER HE INTENDS TO OR NOT, the words cut her deeply she only hopes the darkness is enough to mask the hurt the briefly crosses her features she never meant to disappear without a trace. she never meant to leave him alone when they both DESPERATELY needed someone. but he hadn’t seen what she had seen. vision’s body broken, torn apart by unfeeling hands as if he had always been nothing more than vibranium encased wires && circuitry they didn’t see the soul she had seen time & again she had felt the familiar DROWNING feeling of grief as she drove to the small town in new jersey, yet thinking about the EMPTINESS where the mind stone had once been, thinking about friends lost without a goodbye tony, steve, natasha, thinking about if she even had the right to have lived when so many others hadn’t … it all became too much.
✦__________ HOW IS SHE SUPPOSED TO MAKE HIM UNDERSTAND that she hadn’t known how she had even created the hex, let alone that it would all spiral out of her control so quickly ?? maybe he is never meant to understand && the thought terrifies her. ❛ i know. i would have come back if i could have. i only wanted to retrieve the body for burial, but i … ❜ i created something i never knew i could all to avoid looking at my grief in the face. green eyes dart back to the tv in the corner, still spewing a report of what she had done. there is a cynical part of herself that thinks perhaps agatha is right. others will never truly understand no matter how hard she tries. she has a kind heart, but that is not what matters at the end of the day when hands DESTROY with a mere flick of her wrist she is destined to destroy the world !!
__________✦ SHE HESITATES TO PUT HER REQUEST into words after the rather lukewarm response to her appearance. perhaps he is right. perhaps she is mistaken to have believed she could waltz back through the door as if nothing had changed. slowly, she steels herself && straightens her shoulders. she’s spent so many days of the past few weeks ignoring her mistakes, her problems. the world waits for no man. or witch. ❛ i need help disappearing. on purpose this time. ❜ a wince at that, at the hurt she’s caused, yet she pushes on for who knows if she’ll be able to finish if she flounders now ❛ i need to go somewhere no one will know who i am, at least until this blows over. if they find me, they’ll put me back on the raft, or worse. i thought you might have some ideas, but if not, i’ll leave you out of it. i don’t want to be the cause of problems with your pardon. ❜ her sentiment is sincere over the concerns about his pardon, though she feels the BITE of her own words. i’ll leave you out of it. as if she hasn’t spent every day wishing life had been easier for the both of them, that their time would finally come & they could just … be
James found himself studying her carefully, he could tell that she was scared and hurting. The thought broke his heart, and he wasn’t entirely sure how he could help but he wanted nothing more than to take the pain away. He was quiet as she listened to her request, It wasn’t a surprise that she was fully on the run and needed to disappear, and his mind was already starting to come up with ways to make it happen successfully. If there was one thing he was trained to do was move without being detected, to disappear in plain sight in order to accomplish a mission.
It would be a little difficult due to the fact that she was a more recognizable face, but he was confident that he could get her hidden away somewhere safe until things blow over, until he can call Sam to see what can be done so she won’t get sent to the raft. He was determined to keep her out of custody, she didn’t deserved to be locked away. He knew helping her would risk everything he had worked towards with his pardon, but he didn’t care.
He had noticed the certain bite in her words, and he was snapped out of his planning and thoughts to realize he had upset her somehow. He hadn’t meant to make it seem like he wasn’t happy to see her, or that he wasn’t absolutely willing to drop everything to help her. “Wanda..” he said her name softly, daring to close the space between them, making sure his hands stayed where she could see them so she hopefully didn’t feel threatened.
Carefully he reached for her hands and took them into his own so he could bring them up to his lips and place the softest of kisses on her knuckles. He hadn’t always been the best with his words, he did better with action and he hoped that his soft gesture would show that nothing had changed for him, he still loved her, they had been through so much together and he wasn’t about to abandon her now.
“We can disappear, I still have a handful of contacts who can get us some property somewhere remote and we will figure it all out.. They won’t get you, I won’t let them.” he said the last few words firmly, wanting to reassure her that he would do anything to keep her out of harms way. “Once we get settled, I’ll find a way to get a hold of Sam and we will get all of this sorted okay?”
He dared to put a few more kisses onto her knuckles before giving her the softest of smiles. “Do you want somewhere warm or cold?”
