Summary:
Wanda’s life has been a series of up and down events. From losing her parents to joining her Avengers she has never lived a normal life. Spending her early years caring for her brother to then become involuntary soldiers for HYDRA, Wanda and Pietro were finally able to find a second family in the Avengers, or so they thought.
After the events of Ultron and losing her brother Wanda spent most of her time alone and grieving until she found strength in her teammates as they helped build her back up again. Wanda officially joined the Avengers trying her best to do good, but she was still learning how to be both a hero and to control her powers.
That was when the Avengers were given an option, if you could call it that. The Accords came into play which was all fine and dandy for her co-workers because they weren’t like her, they weren’t mutants. This caused a rift in the team, making everyone choose sides.
Not wanting to be locked away in a tower Wanda made her choice and joined Steve in saving his friend. However, in the end Stark locked her and anyone on Steve’s side away waiting for someone to save them.
Wanda on the run was later found and joined by Vision sparking a relationship between the two. Even though they were hiding, the two lived together happily and as peacefully as they could until the threat that was Thanos made its way to Earth.
This led to a series of events that would aid in the shaping of Wanda’s life. The small victory was over as quickly as it had come and Wanda with the assurance of Vision ended the life of her love only for Thanos to use the time stone and kill vision himself. Moments later in her grief Wanda along with half of her teammates were snapped.
Five years later what was left of the remaining Avengers worked together to reverse the snap and defeat Thanos for good. This time they were successful but after their win Wanda flees to find what is left of Visions remains, but finds something else she didn’t know she should have been looking for. Her brother Pietro wasn’t dead.
Pushed to the brink of insanity Wanda creates Westview living in a fabricated world alongside Vision and their two kids Billy and Tommy. Wanda finally back to her senses realizes the pain she is causing the real people of Westview and gets rid of it, however, she refuses to believe Billy and Tommy are still just a creation of her imagination using them subconsciously as a way to get over the grief of Vision.
Life for Wanda is finally looking up; she has her businesses, her kids, and she found safety and love in Bucky Barnes. She should have known better because good things don’t last forever. As things seemed to finally be settling down for her Wanda meets Erik Lehnsherr who tells Wanda he is her real father. This breaks Wanda’s reality yet again and causes her to lose her boys and her relationship with Bucky becomes rocky.*
However Bucky doesn’t give up and in him she finds herself healing slowly overtime. She finds herself becoming the Wanda she wants to be, and the two find themselves getting married, only for Bucky to call it quits and disappear without warning leaving Wanda alone and grieving yet again in her life.
Although Wanda mainly keeps to herself now and drowns herself in her work, she is fortunate enough to have friends who care for her and have been with her every step of the way helping build her up and facing reality.
Currently:
Currently Wanda is working on her upcoming launch for Amor Propriu titled Villain Era which will very quickly be followed by Redemption. She also is now the assistant dean for Xavier’s school for gifted children and still owns and occasionally stops by Scarlet Cafe and Piet’s Flowers on days she feels she needs some fresh air and socialization.
