These days I have tried to draw again, while I finish some chapters.
Here goes my soft Rangshi art.
The avatar Kyoshi (without her opera makeup) and her beloved, Rangi.
Rangi was the firebending master and girlfriend of Avatar Kyoshi, her fighting technique is the basis of the Kyoshi Warriors' style.
She was born into a prestigious Fire Nation family, which trained members of the Royal Family in the art of firebending for generations. Her mother, Hei-Ran, trained the former Avatar, Kuruk.
Rangi was the only known firebender to generate white flames.
She was selected to provide her services to Yun as her bodyguard. For this reason, she had to move to Yokoya (Kyoshi Island) where a mansion was built to serve Yun and his entourage. While the mansion was under construction, she met a young maid named Kyoshi.
And there their story began.
Go on and read the Kyoshi Novels, 'The Rise of Kyoshi' and 'The Shadow of Kyoshi'.

ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤCHAPTER FIVE
Her gaze remained on that cup of steaming and hot coffee, so lost in her thoughts that she didn't know how much time passed. The scent reached her nose and made the demon sigh deeply.
Y/N looked down to see her watch, 4 am and they still had nothing.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
This one's for the lonely, the one's that seek and find.
Only to be let down, time after time.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
After Y/N and Jules left the Compound, they found a perfect hideaway on an old ranch for sale in Wyoming. The place was abandoned for many years, the owners wanted to sell the place since it was 'haunted'.
What they didn't know was that all those screams were thanks to a demon, who loved visiting the place at this time of year.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
Around that house in the forest there was nothing but trees and the black night that surrounded them.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
‘No, I don't know why you're not there. I give you my love, but you don't care. So what is right and what is wrong? Give me a sign.’
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
It was possibly the twentieth time she heard that song in an hour; 'What is love?' from Haddaway.
The desperate screams from the room next did nothing but make her yawn.
The music was so loud that it could have possibly blown up the door like it was a cartoon.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
After a few minutes, the door opened, letting out an adorable brunette who approached with the cutest smile ever. However, the blood on her face and body and the sword in her hand did not seem to match it.
It looked like something out of a terrifying scene in Carrie.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
“Do you think he's ready to talk?” Y/N asked as she looked up, Jules nodded quickly. She seemed to be in a very good mood and was a bit creepy.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
“I think our big mouth is ready.” Jules said excitedly.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
“Let’s do this.” Taking a deep breath, Y/N stood up from her seat somewhat lazily.
As soon as she crossed the threshold, the red lamp that moved on the ceiling from side to side started to flicker.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
The place was full of blood, some stuff lying on the floor, broken glass, as well as a guy tied to a chair in the middle of the room. The song keeps playing, but Jules turns down the volume, so Y/N could talk.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
“Can you stop that damn thing?!” That man shouted tiredly.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
At first glance, he looked like a man in his forties, the dark hair was soaked in blood as were different parts of his body. He looked tired, but not enough to shut up.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
“What?” Jules pouted. “You don't like the song? It's my favorite! I love the 90’s!”
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
“It was our best time.” Y/N nodded.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
“It’s the worst song ever!” He spat the blood aside.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
His eyes were not human, they were yellow and had huge, horizontal pupils like a toad's.
Sensing the desperation, Jules turned the volume up again, higher and higher.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
‘I want no other, no other lover. This is our life, our time .
If we are together, I need you forever.
What is love? Oh baby, don't hurt me! Don't hurt me! No more!’
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
“Please, stop!” He begged one more time.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
“We're not going to stop, you low range scum!” But Y/N smiled widely, leaning down to cup his chin, she kinda enjoyed all this. After all, she was a demon. “Tell us what Abaddon will do! What is her next move?!”
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
But even though Y/N could be intimidating, the demon just let out a laugh. His pearly white teeth were stained with blood.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
“Do you think I would betray Abaddon?” The demon kept laughing as blood began to run down the nose. “She would disintegrate me.”
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
Silence reigned for a moment and then Jules laughed, so loud and so sincere that it made the demon look at her blankly.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
“Oh my- did... did you hear that?" The brunette said without even being able to breathe. She had definitely never heard anything so wrong or funnier.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
“Do you know what I can do to you? Do you know who I am?” Smiling at the demon's confused face, Y/N grabbed the man's jaw and squeezed it so hard with just one hand that the guy started screaming.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
“This is what I hate about low-ranking demons like you, stupid uncultured pawns.” Y/N hissed with enormous hatred and disgust, squeezing harder and harder. “I’m not a Knight… I’m not a Prince, like Stolas here. She’s even more important than you.”
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
The irony and cruelty with which she said that showed that her demonic nature was still inside, of course she didn’t show it unless it was with beings as cruel as that one demon.
Something that Captain America would never accept.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
“I’m primordial.” Y/N said without further ado, summoning her sword which appeared in her hand. Tightening her grip, she rested the sharp point on the demon's cheek. “If Abaddon can hurt you, believe me, I will make you believe that Abaddon is heaven compared to what I will do to you.”
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
A small cut on his neck made the demon open his eyes in fear, deeply in pain. It wasn't a superficial cut, but those blades caused death for beings like them.
An ex-angelic sword, which was no longer used for good, was not an ordinary sword.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
“Talk and I let you survive.” Y/N ordered once more, before cutting again, this time several sensitive areas.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
The demon began to scream desperately and without further hesitation, began to blurt out everything he had to say.
He spent a long time revealing everything Abaddon thought, believed and would do. So much so that Y/N thought that maybe he knew too much for a low-ranking demon, it was a bit suspicious.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
“She'll go get them tomorrow afternoon.” The toad demon whispered in defeat and pain, in front of those two demons who looked at him with distrust. Jules narrowed her eyes, waiting for Y/N's decision. “...When the sun is near the horizon, when it burns red as hell, she will ravage the place.”
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
Nodding slowly, Y/N grabbed the sword again and approached him violently. Even though the demon pleaded for his life, the snake finally pierced his neck with strength.
His eyes flashed before he burned.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
She didn't need to know any more than that. “Seven days my ass, I knew that bitch wasn't going to wait that much.”
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
“I need to let them know.” Y/N growled and left that room with some haste and confusion. Didn't expect the redhead to play such a dirty card like that, but if she did it, was because Abaddon no longer trusted Y/N’s word.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
“What’s our next move?” Jules whispered, afraid to ask.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
Sighing, Y/N placed hands on her hips, trying to think of thousands of possibilities at once. Something that would guarantee them a victory, but it was very difficult with everyone against them. Even minutes.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
“I need you to do something.” she finally said after a few minutes in silence, she had possibly chosen the worst decision of her life. Y/N grabbed a pencil and paper, doodling a sigil. “I need you to go to this place, write it down exactly as I tell you… and Jules? You’ll say exactly as I tell you. No more, no less.”
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
Jules frowned and took the paper, confused by so much 'mystery' but when she saw the sigil her eyes widened. “Do you want me dead? They hate me more than they hate you.”
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
Y/N approached her friend, placing her hands on the brunette's shoulders. “I promise you that nothing like what you think will happen. Nothing bad will happen if you say what I need you to say.”
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
Jules whispered and looked at the doodles. “This means it's worse than I imagined.”
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
“We need big cards, Stolas.” Y/N swallowed hard. Of course the worst would come soon. “I've been thinking about how to stop her, and each idea is one worse than another.”
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
Jules didn't say anything, just nodded.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
While everyone was discussing and planning how to protect themselves from Abaddon's attack, once Wanda explained who the hell she was after seeing Y/N's memories, the sokovian decided to walk away and lock herself in her room, tired of listening to them fight and argue. She was fed up with those loud thoughts and fears.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
This one's for the torn down, the experts at the fall.
Come on friends, get up now, you're not alone at all.
The brunette remained silent, sitting on her bed. The tissues around her were quite snitchy.
Wanda was quiet as the tears fell, those red eyes and nose showing how tired she was of crying.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
How could fate be so cruel? To say it was fate and not the decisions of a handful of cruel demons playing with her life? Deciding who lives and who dies.
She squeezed her eyes shut as memories came to her in a flash.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
The knocking on the door made Wanda look up, waiting to see who dared to bother her.
The one who entered was none other than Natasha Romanoff, with a small friendly smile and guilt in those green eyes.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
“Can I come in?”
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
“You already came in, right?” Wanda said with a small smile as she wiped the tears and threw the tissues into the trash can.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
The widow came over to sit next to Wanda. She understood very well the pain her friend was going through, the lies they fell into, losing the one you love most was unbearable.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
“Sorry, everything is… chaos.” Natasha hesitated whether to continue, she chose those words very poorly and scolded herself for it. “It is not our intention to make you feel worse. They want to protect you.”
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
“I know.” Wanda sighed sadly.
Didn't want to cause any more problems than they already had. This was all her fault.
Natasha took a deep breath, grateful for the silence in that place. She was sick of listening to Steve and Tony fight like children. But something caught her attention quickly, something changed in the room.
The pictures of Y/N and Wanda that were lying in the trash can.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
“Haven't you heard from her?” The redhead dared to ask, turning to look at Wanda who tensed up at the mention of Y/N.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
“I don't even want to see her again.” The witch hissed angrily, falling victim to endless mixed feelings. She missed her, loved her, hated her, she was furious with her but also missed Y/N’s gaze. The way she held her hand, the way Y/N made her feel safe.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
“But you miss her.” Natasha whispered, placing a supportive hand on Wanda's shoulder. “I'm not judging you, it's not wrong to do so. After all, your feelings were real.”
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
“And even though I hate it I could see that her feelings are real too. That's why I feel so angry.” Wanda turned to look at her friend, with those huge green eyes full of tears. Tears of helplessness and disappointment. “I feel so… stupid. So confused."
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
Anguish threatened to close her throat, making her voice hoarser.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
“She knew me my whole life, knew everything that happened to me and yet didn't do anything.” Wanda finally allowed herself to let go, so painful that even Nat felt a little tear escape her eyes. “She let my parents die, Pietro died.”
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
“And…” The sokovian breathed deeply, trying to stop herself from crying and trying to come to her senses, to be strong as she needed to. “And I hate myself for still loving her.”
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
Of course those words were true, she loved Y/N. Couldn't let go of her feelings overnight, even if she wanted to, if Wanda could forget the demon, she would without hesitation.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
The one who didn't hesitate was Natasha, who hugged her friend and cradled her for a while. “I’m truly sorry, Wanda.”
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
Natasha comforted the brunette as she vented. Letting the pain take over her was not a good option, and the widow was not going to allow anyone to Wanda her like they did to her in the Red Room.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
“I can't even process what I am, what I'm supposed to be.” Wanda whispered once she sat back down on the bed as Nat brought her a cup of tea. “The Scarlet Witch.”
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
She looked down at the steaming cup of tea.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
“I must be something so evil... that I only cause disasters and pain to everyone I love.” Those words came from the depths of her heart, filled with so much pain.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
“No one can tell you who you are, Wanda. It doesn't matter 'what you're made for' or whether you're 'a perfect weapon', your decisions will always be yours. And you’re not evil.” Nat took her hand and sighed.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
She wasn't going to let her friend feel the way she felt for so long, not allowing herself to enjoy love and friendship. She was much more than all that pain.
Smiling at her sister, she squeezed Wanda’s hand and then hugged her tightly. Whatever was coming, they were all going to go through it together and win.
ㅤ
“Friday, raise security to the maximum. Stay alert for any movement.” Tony walked through the workshop.
Next to the common area, the workshop was a section that provided controlled conditions in which scientific or technological research, experiments, and measurement may be performed.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
It was Tony's favorite place, after the kitchen, of course. He was one of the few who didn't live in the compound.
Stark carefully observed the result that Friday showed on the screen.
Suddenly the door opened, drawing his attention, especially seeing that it was Bruce who entered in a bit of a hurry.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
“Tony.” The doctor took off his glasses somewhat clumsily. “What do you need from me? If this is because of the big guy-”
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
Frowning, Tony turned to look at him blankly. “What?”
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
“You sent me a text, you told me to come urgently.” Bruce looked at him with the same confused face. Even looked for his phone to show him the text.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
“I didn't-” The man was going to continue but a new presence made them turn around, astonished.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
“It was me. Hi.” Y/N appeared in front of them and quickly raised her hands in surrender as she saw how Tony was immediately about to attack. It was going to be much worse if Bruce brought the big guy to the fight. “Easy, gentlemen, I'm not here to look for trouble...”
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
“You would have thought about it before sneaking around us for so long.” Quickly, as Tony squeezed one of his rings, a rapid nanotech gauntlet formed on his arm ready to fire at the demon. It probably wouldn't hurt, maybe angering the demon, but he'll die trying.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
“I can help you, but you have to listen to me.” Y/N hurriedly said, taking a few steps away.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
Using her sensory powers, she made sure that there was no one around them. Just the three of them.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
“We don't need your help.” Bruce exclaimed unbuttoning the collar of his shirt, ready to go.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
“Bruce, don’t.” She tilted her head, looking into his eyes. Even though Bruce tried and struggled to let go of the Hulk to the point of turning red, the big green guy didn't appear. “He knows I'm not coming to hurt you. So stop, you're embarrassing yourself.”
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
“How-?” Bruce stammered blankly. Tony just rolled his eyes, lowering his arm.
Once they were sure that Y/N wasn't planning on attacking them, they let their guard down.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
"What are you doing here? If Wanda sees you, we are the last thing you should worry about.” Stark ironically joked as he approached his screen to scan the place again, making sure everything was fine. There was definitely a BIG flaw if Y/N could show up just like that.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
“Do you want the world to survive this catastrophe?”
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
“Believe me, we will do it.” He gave a wry chuckle, they always did. Hydra, Loki, Ultron.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
“This isn't like your movie villain, Stark. It’s not some guy with lightning whips, or a tantrum-y god. This goes further.” Y/N moved closer to look at the screen but Tony quickly minimize it. “This doesn't just endanger this planet, this endangers all realities.”
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
“Realities? What do you mean?” Bruce frowned. “Is a multiverse something possible?”
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
“It is not a 'possibility', it is already a reality.” Y/N waved her hand, downplaying the talk, especially when both nerds seemed very interested in knowing more. “But we don't have time to talk about multiverses and alternate realities. We need a plan now, or Chton is going to screw them all up.”
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
“What does Chton want? Especially with Wanda.”
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
“Chton was a big demon, one of the cruelest beings that ever existed. He was banished many years ago… and wants to come back.” Y/N swallowed, thinking about the chaos that would engulf them all. “According to an old prophecy, he would do it thanks to a great sorceress who would have the power to handle the Chaos Magic, at such a level that she would break with any reality and modify it to her convenience. So when he does… all realities are going to collapse. One on top of another like dominos.”
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
That sounded so terrifying that Tony Stark swallowed hard, lowering his self-loving know-it-all attitude. That sounded chaotic, a world where nothing would make sense.
Not only would they die, all the worlds, all the realities.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
“Do you want your daughter to live a nice life?” Y/N continued, knowing that would hit deep. The demon tilted her head as she saw the surprise in Stark's gaze, those big brown eyes so wide they would pop out of his head.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
Bruce had his mouth open like a fish out of water, more confused than Tony.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
“I'm not stupid, I know Pepper is pregnant.” The demon took a seat in one of the chairs and crossed her legs, so sassy. “It’s a very healthy baby, by the way.”
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
Tony was surprised but hesitant. No one else knew that, only Pepper and him.
They had had an appointment with a doctor outside the compound so that everything would be a nice surprise. They had been trying to plan it for a week until Abaddon threatened to attack them.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
“Congratulations?” Bruce murmured, smiling somewhat happily for his friend.
He went over to hug Tony, who smiled proudly, forgetting everything for a moment. They had decided to hide it until this new chaos passed.
Especially when the Knight of Hell left a box at the door of the compound, with a quite terrifying message.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
“Will you listen to me?” Y/N asked, this time it was more of a plea.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
Sighing and knowing that it was best to get the upper hand, even if they had to work with a dirty, lying demon like Y/N, it was their best chance to win. The enemy of your enemy is your friend or something like that. “What do you need?”
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
“I need both of you working together.” Y/N sighed and stood up from her seat. “I know Ultron left you a little hurt, but this time... you will truly protect this world. And must keep the secret until it is time.”
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
“I don't like the idea of lying to them… again.” Crossing his arms, Bruce slowly shook his head. He wasn't willing to go through the same thing, that almost made the team break up forever and the world needed the Avengers.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
“This time you’ll save their lives thanks to it.” The demon insisted. “Steve would never allow my help, much less Wanda. We'll say it's your idea.”
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
“That's true, both of them can't even say your name. And if Natasha sees you, she will kill you.” Tony smiled wryly as he poured himself a glass of scotch.
Showing him the middle finger first, Y/N typed a long amount of numbers on the screen quickly.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
“Friday, save this, please. These are the exact coordinates of the perfect place, where everything will begin. I need us to play with the lead.” She expanded the screen thanks to Friday, showing them the place.
Tony approached to see with curiosity, it wasn't close at all but the demon was right, it was a good place for a battle. Far from any kind of innocent victims.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
They kept talking and planning for about two hours, trying to find a solution. Y/N's idea was completely crazy and made no sense at all, but it was the only one available to them. It was their best shot.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
“Can you do it in 24 hours?” Y/N asked with some concern. Looking at that screen, the theory was good but the practice could be... difficult. Even for such an advanced engineer.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
“Do I need to sleep?” Tony said sarcastically.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
“Believe me, you will when you die.” Y/N responded in the same way.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
“We know a guy who can help with this… machine.” Thoughtfully, Tony watched the screen, trying to remove and add a few things. How can you build a thing like that from nothing? “We will do the best we can. Three great brains at work... and yours, of course.”
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
“You have to do better than that.” Y/N frowned.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
She looked at her watch, hoping that Stolas would score a victory in her mission. She must have already been arriving.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
“Your ‘mission’ is to take back the book. That's at least what they can know.” The demon took a sheet of paper and quickly drew what the book would look like, since there was no type of information that talked about this.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
Tony walked over to look at it, raising an eyebrow.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
“The ‘Darkhold’?” He mocked. “Didn't they have a better name in the underworld? I thought that maybe with so many artists there, you demons would be more creative."
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
Rolling her eyes, Y/N fixed her gaze on Bruce, who seemed to look more attentive at the moment. “Hear me clearly… You cannot use that book, from any point of view, never open it. The Darkhold holds secrets and curses so ancient they would destroy any reality. It will destroy your hearts, your minds and your souls.”
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
An awkward silence remained for a moment. Despite Tony's sarcastic humor, he understood that this was not the time for jokes, everyone's fate was really at stake. And not just because of the big fight, but because of what came after that.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
“No matter what they promise you… they’ll never give you what you want. It is a trap.” The demon reaffirmed.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
After a few seconds and knowing that she counted on them both understanding the task, the presence of a new person made Tony jump.
Jules looked at everyone a little agitated, she seemed shocked but was undoubtedly still alive.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
“It’s done.” Jules grimaced, not very happy with that decision, but when she saw Tony and Bruce her face changed so quickly. Stolas smiled tenderly and waved. “Hi.”
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
“I hope this works.” Y/N sighed deeply, for a moment she wondered if it would work but she no longer had time to doubt. The minutes passed and they played with a disadvantage.
At the surprised gaze of both humans, she spread her wings for a moment. Great and enormous wings, so black but still as soft as an angel's, Y/N smiled as she remembered that feeling.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
“Nice.”
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
Taking courage, she plucked one of the feathers and moaned in pain. A searing pain, and so unique, a pain she had never felt before.
Sighing, Y/N approached Tony to hand him the feather, which after snapping her fingers, turned into a blue liquid in a very tiny bottle.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
“This is something unique, that very few humans have had the pleasure of obtaining. And as you know, none of them are alive.” Y/N said as she looked at that liquid and handed it to Tony, who seemed quite curious as well as surprised. Possibly thinking how much he could use it if he only knew how. “Be careful, don't use it all. I risked my ass with an archangel for that.”
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
Bruce cleared his throat, making her turn.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
“An… a-archangel gave this to you?” Bruce stammered and looked at that tiny bottle as if he were holding an important grail. Everything already challenged beliefs, needed to know more.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
“I wish… it’s just my old feather. They just allowed me to get my wings for a moment.” The demon wrinkled her nose and walked away, still feeling a stinging pain. “They think I will use them for battle tomorrow against Abaddon, but it was actually for this, so… no one can know.”
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
“You made a deal with them.” Stark walked away from her and took that liquid to one of his devices so he could analyze it. “Isn't that worse?”
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
Y/N shrugged, knowing it couldn't get any worse. “I go one thing at a time.”
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
“In fact, you have two.” Jules' voice made her turn around, watching as she handed a small bottle to Bruce.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
"What are you doing?” The higher-demon approached Jules with concern, whispering: “That wasn’t in the deal.”
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
“I know, I decided to add some stuff before doing it. It's mine.” The dark-haired woman patted her friend's shoulder, who looked at her in surprise. How dare she? Stolas was going against her own decisions, and yet, her heart softened at the sight of her friend's loyalty. “I already told you, I'm with you. And they need to come back, so… two is better.”
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
Sighing, Y/N ended up nodding, knowing that she couldn't fight her.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
“Wait here, I have to do something before we leave this place.”
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
ㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
That green-eyed girl took everything she needed and put it in a backpack, exactly as Natasha asked. It seemed that Stark and Banner had a momentary solution, and that made the tension between everyone go down.
But what didn't seem to fade away was the fear she felt, the uncertainty of not knowing who or what she was.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
Everyone repeated everything they found about the Scarlet Witch, but no one knew exactly. And of course, although people didn't say it, since they found out who she was, everyone seemed afraid of her.
Suddenly, three knocks on the door caught the girl’s attention as she tried to close the backpack.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
“I'll be ready soon, Natasha.” Wanda said with a low tone of voice and that exquisite sokovian accent.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
But the one who opened the door was not the redhead, but someone else who believed and wished to never see again.
Y/N sighed and closed the door behind her, leaning against the door.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
“What are you doing here?” The Sokovian quickly became alert, chaos magic beginning to dance around her fingers.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
“I know you hate me.” The demon began, the melancholy in her eyes said more than words.
Seeing Wanda again made her heart come back to life, beating once again.
Y/N couldn't help but feel sadness when she saw those beautiful reddish eyes because of crying.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
“Leave me alone.” Wanda hissed, willing to defend herself if she had to.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
But Y/N didn't do anything else, just slowly approach her and see that woman with loving eyes, even if Wanda attacked her with fury, she would still see the love of her life more beautiful than ever.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
“I just want to say I love you.” Y/N stopped in front of her, even though she wasn't going to hurt her, she didn't want to make the Sokovian uncomfortable. “Please, just let me explain and then I’ll leave.”
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
So close to home and so far away.
For a moment she allowed herself to get lost in her gaze, hoping to come clean. Y/N knew that it wasn't going to fix things with Wanda, but it was enough to say sorry before chaos broke loose.
Wanda shook her head, unable to believe how Y/N dared to ask to be 'heard'. “I shouldn't even allow you to be here right now.”
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
“I’m sorry… I'm really sorry for lying to you, I'm sorry for hiding so much from you and above all... allowing them to hurt you.” Y/N said those words with so much sadness, with a lost look and a deep pain in her heart. “It is my fault.”
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
Tears escaped, slowly falling down Y/N’s cheek. A gesture so pure, so sincere that it made Wanda hesitate for a few moments. She would never have thought that a demon could cry.
All the happy memories with Y/N flashed through her mind, knowing that her beloved's pain was genuine, but her own… That was much deeper and blinding. That one was a lot more painful.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
“You are a demon.” Those harsh words made Y/N squirm, she wasn't going to forgive her. Wanda just shrugged, wasn't going to get it so easily. “Your tears don't move me, Y/N. Oh, yeah. Y/N isn't your real name.”
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
“Of course I tried to tell you my name, but you never listen to me!” Y/N tried, really trying to be patient. With any other human being she would have exploded but with Wanda, well, she was the exception to every rule. “I would like you to know the real me.”
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
“The real you?” Wanda giggled sarcastically and tilted her head. “That sadistic and malicious creature? The one who looked aside when me and my brother were dying of hunger? The one that let my parents die without doing anything about it?”
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
“I didn't know you and I was doing what they asked me to do. It's millennia, Wanda, millennia being the same and then I met you, and-” She tried to reason with her but Wanda just rolled her eyes, taking her backpack to leave what she considered 'home' for all that time.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
“You make me want to be better.” Y/N followed her, until Wanda stopped. For that tiny second, the demon had hope. Maybe those words would give her a chance, at least to say goodbye.
Wanda turned on her heels, and ending Y/N's anticipation, she finally said.
She met Y/N's gaze so that the demon knew, so that the demon understood, that those were really her words and not the pain: “After everything I saw... I would never love you.”
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
Y/N's hope and heart fell to the ground, breaking completely.
Feeling how the weight on that chest became more and more painful and overwhelming. There were no happy endings for demons.
And to finish stabbing the dagger, Wanda whispered: “I would never love something like you.”
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
Accepting what she deserved, Y/N nodded quickly swallowing all the pain.
The demon simply decided to lower her gaze and walk out the door without further ado, everything was said and everything was done.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
There was no turning back.
Leaving Y/N behind, Wanda quickly walked towards the elevator, hiding there until the doors closed behind.
Once they did, thanks to Friday who stopped the elevator so she could have a moment alone, the brunette allowed herself to cry uncontrollably for a long time.
Hugging herself, thinking about how much she wanted to go back and hug Y/N, to kiss her and forget everything. Want to go back in time, want everything to go well for the first time in her life.
Coming to her senses, Wanda left the elevator and finally entered the conference room, where everyone was planning what to do, how to attack and what the real mission of all this was.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
“But they want her for what she will be.” was heard, they stopped when Wanda entered the room. An awkward silence tenses everything, until the only one who was brave to break it was Stark.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
“The Scarlet Witch, Harbinger of Chaos.” Tony explained to everyone, looking at Wanda, but not in an accusatory way. Strangely, Tony understood the situation thanks to Y/N.
The girl just played with her rings, feeling uncomfortable and exposed. “The Scarlet Witch was not just born but also forged. Her power exceeds that of the Sorcerer Supreme, and her destiny was… to destroy the world.” He sighed. “But what we are here for... is to avoid it. I don't think your power is destructive, Wanda.”
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
“What will we do then? We can't hand her over to… that thing.” Steve kept his brow furrowed, totally serious. He was one in that room of those who would defend Wanda until death. “How do you know all this?”
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
“Y/N.” Wanda murmured, knowing perfectly well the reason why Y/N visited her room.
To give them information that they could use.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
“Do we have to believe in a demon? A demon? That will do it because of the goodness in her heart?” Rhodey exclaimed in a mocking manner, shaking his head.
Even though he used to be a pain in the ass sometimes, he was right.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
“I don't think Y/N is lying here, there's no point in warning us.” Kate murmured somewhat nervously, noticing all the eyes on her. She stirred as if she sensed many birds of prey ready to devour her.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
“Kid, just let the adults talk.” Rhodey narrowed his eyes.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
As soon as she heard his tone, Yelena suddenly stood up and pointed at the man, threatening: “Don't talk to her like that again.”
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
Everyone started arguing again, like the sixth time since they started the meeting, until Tony intervened: “Whoa, whoa, whoa! Do you want to shut up? I found a way to save all of our lives, thank you very much.”
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
Everyone was silent.
The mood was not easy to bear, everyone was tired, fearful, upset and anxious. Who wouldn't be? A battle was coming up that they didn't even know how to win.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
“The plan is simple, I have a place, I have an idea. We need to recover the book that caused all this, but we can't open it or read it. Destroying it is the only solution.” Tony walked around the room, observing his friends one by one. Faces of confusion, fear, and even some with a certain curiosity. “The book corrupts everything and everyone that it touches, our duty is to keep it where it is. Not using it.”
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
Bruce was in charge of explaining and showing them the plan and projections of what they would do. Friday helped by showing some probabilities, as well as the plans of that machine they would use.
As they had previously deduced, it was a completely out of the ordinary and crazy plan, but it was their only chance.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
“So, this machine will…” Natasha said somewhat skeptically, trying to understand.
And she wasn't the only one, everyone seemed a little worried about that sudden 'idea'.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
“That will allow us to escape.” Bruce nodded, taking off his glasses. “Not everyone will be able to come, but those who do, know that we will do everything possible to protect this reality. Those who stay must protect the place.”
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
“It’s insane.” Someone said.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
“It is, but it’s our last chance. So… Who’s coming?” Tony asked, watching as some of his friends raised their hands quickly.
The man smiled with a certain pride, knowing that they would give their lives so that this planet would have another dawn.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
Wanda simply remained silent, her gaze as lost as she was in her thoughts. She couldn't even look at her friends, this was all because of her.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
Natasha saw her so quiet and placed a hand on Wanda’s shoulder, squeezing it gently. “Don't worry, we won't let them do anything to you, kid.”
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
Looking at her, Wanda simply nodded her head hoping that this was really true.
ㅤ
NAMIB DESERT
TWENTY-FOUR HOURS LATER
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
“Are you sure it’s here?” Natasha asked, grimacing as the Quinjet's door opened.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
At least she was grateful that there was no problem parking it, all around them could be seen vast sand dunes, dry trees and a claypan. Some wild animals ran away at the presence of strangers.
Deadvlei was a claypan, between the dunes in the Namib-Naukluft Park. The heat was oppressive, the sun remained high and that meant they still had time.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
Grimacing, Wanda went down after Nat who was walking in front with Steve and Tony.
The day finally arrived, and those who had decided to go on the 'mission' were Steve, Tony, Clint, Kate, Yelena and Natasha.
Bucky promised to take care of the place along with Bruce, Sam and the others, delaying Abaddon as much as possible. The big green guy was going to do everything possible to stop her long enough.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
“The mission is to take back the Darkhold.” Tony left the briefcase he was carrying on one of the platforms in front of them, a briefcase that opened with nanotech and little by little transformed into a kind of quadrangular machine.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
Thanks to the help of an old friend of his father's, Henry Pym, Tony was able to use much of his tech to achieve what he thought impossible.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
“Everyone has their GPS, right? Come here, around the machine and… press it now.”
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
Listening to what Stark asked, everyone surrounded that machine and finally pressed the GPS button. Quickly, a nanotech suit materialized perfectly around their clothes, except the helmet.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
“Good! It’s good!” Stark cheered and everyone seemed less worried. Even curious, playing and watching the material of that advanced suit. “I just need to get all the suits in sync-”
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
Everything was ready, everyone was ready for this new adventure but a flutter of wings surprised them.
In the distance, two demons approached slowly trying to walk on the warm sand.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
“Is it ready?” Y/N asked, noticing everyone's tense gaze on her.
Possibly mentally preparing herself for Natasha Romanoff to strike out at her at any moment.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
“What is she doing here?!” Wanda asked, trying not to look at her.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
“I’m also here. Hi!” Jule added, waving at them.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
“Did you make this plan with them?” Steve narrowed his eyes and then looked at Tony, who was trying to hide his embarrassed face.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
“Calm down, Rogers.” Tony tried to keep the peace. "Get back in your place, you're going to ruin everything! We need them!”
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
“No, we don’t!” Steve exclaimed, pulling up his shield, ready to use it.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
“Come back to your place again, granny. You don't want to break your hip.” Stolas scoffed and of course that almost made Y/N laugh, but it definitely stole a laugh from Clint which he tried to hide.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
After a few minutes bickering, Y/N sighed deeply and ended up shouting: “Shut the fuck up!”
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
Once again everyone seemed to get into a fight that they did not have the pleasure or privilege of having.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
“Do you want your friends to survive? Do you want this planet to keep spinning tomorrow?” Y/N scolded and watched them one by one, even Wanda. Even though the sokovian had so many reasons to be hurt, her life and the lives of others were in danger. “Then do what you must. Do what we say! And you’ll survive!”
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
Her voice was strong and imposing.
And everyone's guilty silence proved her right, especially when a thunder made everyone look at the sky. While they were arguing, huge black clouds began to form, devouring that blue sky. The sun was gone.
Blinking in surprise, Y/N looked up, knowing that there was no more time. The light was gone.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
“They’re coming.” She whispered, quickly taking position in front of them. “Stark, put this damn thing to work. Time to fly!”
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
Upon hearing that, the avengers prepared to battle whatever was approaching. A breeze of wind rose, slightly moving the dry trees, making them creak.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
“What? I thought she would go through the Compound first-” Stark stammered commanding Friday to turn on the machine.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
With a desolate look, Y/N simply whispered: “They must all be dead by now… this is the only way out. I’m really sorry.”
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
Those words made everyone's blood run cold.
If a dark sky and the absence of the sun wasn't scary enough, knowing that your friends died and not even being there was much worse.
Wanda felt horrible nausea, feeling all that guilt, all that pain.
Especially when seeing Steve shed a tear and clutch the shield tightly to his arm, ready to fight.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
“Come on!” Y/N screamed desperately, noticing that the machine seemed to turn on but stopped again as if the power wasn't enough. “Now turn the damn thing on!”
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
“Can't! Is not working!” Tony became desperate too, typing rapidly on his tablet. “Friday, help me a little, will you? Make a quick scan.”
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
“How does it not work? You said you could do it!” Y/N growled.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
“IT WAS TWENTY-FOUR HOURS!”
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
“Prepare to fight.” Steve ordered but Y/N shook her head.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
“No fighting, just stay in there!” Y/N exclaimed pointing at him, warning him that if he left his place, it would be worse. The demon turned to see Stolas. “We need to build a barrier.”
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
“Maybe I should turn myself in, and just make a deal.” Wanda mumbled, still thinking about Bucky and the others. She couldn't stop imagining so many bloody and tragic scenarios, and they were all her fault.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
Like her parents.
Like Pietro.
Like Vision, Bruce and Bucky.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
“No, Wanda, listen to me…” Y/N approached her but Wanda quickly backed away, not even wanting to look at her. Although something inside begged her to do it, to hug her, to kiss Y/N one more time. She didn't do it.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
“I love you, more than anything in my entire existence. You are the first person I have loved since... I was made.” Her voice broke. Y/N was confessing her love from the deepest and most real part of her being, the only good part left in the demon. “I'm really sorry for everything I did. I hope someday you can forgive me, and if you don't, my greatest wish is that you can be truly happy. So please don't give in, not just for yourself, but for everyone around you. Keep holding on.”
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
Once she said that, Y/N turned around and summoned her sword, which held firmly in her right hand.
Before the surprised gaze of the others, Y/N closed her eyes and brought lips to the blade, whispering something incomprehensible. A dark and ancient language.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
After that, she brought the blade to her palm and made a deep cut, before Wanda's surprised look.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
“We have to do it.” Jules held out her hand, hoping she would cut it too.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
This one's for believing, if only for its sake
Come on friends, get up now, love is to be made.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
Y/N frowned, doubtful. It was one thing for her, but it was another thing to risk someone else's life. “Are you sure? You don’t have to-”
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
“I know.” Stolas sighed and nodded solemnly. “I’ll do.”
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
Y/N took a deep breath before cutting their hands, making some blood drops to begin to fall around them and the machine.
Jules did the same, letting the blood fall in the same places until they met.
Once they connected, both intertwined their wounded hands and began to recite a spell that neither could understand. It wasn't a known language, it definitely wasn't human. Even Friday couldn't figure it out. An ancient and dark and dark spell, one created long before language was made.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
What surprised most of them was seeing both of their eyes change; using glamor to hide their demonic eyes carried an energy that they had to redirect towards the barrier spell.
They stayed like that for a minute until they separated, sighing relaxedly as they saw how a barrier covered all of them. An invisible barrier to the eyes of any enemy.
A barrier impossible to break, no matter how strong you were.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
Frowning, Wanda asked: “What did you do?”
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
“What is this?” Natasha asked, a bit worried. She didn't like feeling locked in at all.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
“Stay inside and don't go out.”Y/N begged , somewhat agitated, that spell did more than just take their energy. Felt everything start to spin but she tried to stay strong. “It is a powerful blood spell.”
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
Steve approached the barrier somewhat hesitantly and tried to touch it, go through it, but it was like touching a concrete wall. Not even his shield could break it.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
“If you could do that, why didn't you do it before?” Captain America said, a bit suspiciously.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
“Because it's a binding spell! It ties one life to the other!” Y/N yelled, already annoyed, tired of answering so many stupid questions. She was about to die, she was giving her life so they could survive and the stupid machine wasn't working. Wasn’t that enough? “The barrier is powerful and will protect you, as long as we survive.”
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
Everyone looked at them in surprise, understanding what it meant. Even Tony, who stopped looking at the screen to look at Y/N.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
“So you-” Wanda whispered in disbelief.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
“So...if you guys die...” Kate followed those words.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
“The barrier will fall. ” Y/N gulped. “We'll try to hold on as long as possible... so Stark, hurry up.”
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
In the face of an awkward silence, Y/N cleared her throat and turned around so they wouldn't see her that way.
They went from seeing her as a disgusting being to pitying her, and she didn't know which of the two was worse.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
However Jules pouted a little seeing them. “Don't be sad, we'll be fine. You will fix all our mistakes.”
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
“Thank you.” Yelena mumbled. Words they would never have expected, especially coming from someone like her. Yelena nodded nobly, accepting that sacrifice.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
“It’s okay. Anyway.” Y/N swallowed and nodded quickly, she didn't know how to react to that. For someone to be kind to her. Again. “Do not leave the protection, if you leave it will be more difficult for us and more painful. Don't interfere either. Once the spell is cast and the sacrifice accepted, there is no going back.”
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
The flapping of wings could be heard, growing louder around them. As if a flock of crows were approaching.
Everyone looked up trying to find the reason for the sound, it became closer and more terrifying.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
“They’re coming.” Y/N muttered and then looked at Stark, so terrified. “Do not engage, just fix it and leave.”
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
Before he could even answer, a new presence made everyone turn to look.
As stunning and beautiful as deadly, Abaddon smiled widely as she saw everyone. A smile that made many feel a horrible chill.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
“I think they gave me the wrong address for the party.” The redhead said, strangely cheerful, especially when several demons began to appear behind. Her legion. “Hand over the girl and everyone will die less painfully than I want.”
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
Willing to protect them, Y/N and Jules settled in front of them.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
“But I’ve to say, these traitors will suffer a horribly, harrowing, terrifying death… And you will see it.” Abaddon said, licking her fangs in a creepy way. “So Wanda, honey, let’s go. Mommy's tired of waiting.”
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
“She’s not going anywhere.” Y/N said sharply, with a determined look.
Of course, while she tried to distract the redhead, Stark was working quickly to fix the machine.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
“I’m glad we finally met.” The redhead tilted her head to look into the eyes of the witch, who looked at her with enormous hatred. “You're going to watch everyone around you right now, all your friends, die. In terrifying ways.”
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
But the Sokovian didn't say anything, she just stood steady, without showing any fear. Like all of her friends.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
“We will bleed so much pain out of you that you will be left in deep need of therapy for millennia.” The Knight of Hell laughed, followed by everyone around her. “And the only thing you will have is us. Isn’t that sad?”
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
Abaddon turned to look at Y/N. “What does it feel like? Neither heaven nor hell wants you! You are not part of any. You’re nothing. You have no purpose.”
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
This one's for the faithless, the ones that are surprised
They're only where they are now, regardless of their fight
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
Slowly surrounding Y/N, Abaddon summoned her sword. It was a dark sword, which unlike Y/N's smooth and sharp blade, this one had its edge broken, like sharp teeth, to cause even more damage.
But what she wanted with those words was to cause more emotional damage, break her completely and end the Leviathan in one fell swoop.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
“And you still don't see it? The one who was going to hurt her so deeply… is you.” Abaddon mocked like a maniac, celebrating the debacle of the GREAT demon. “Not just your betrayal, the pain we need will be caused by your death… right now, in front of her.”
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
Y/N's face suddenly paled. How had she not thought of that before?
She quickly turned to look at Wanda, hoping that really wasn't true. Y/N had always been the worst thing that happened to her, even when she didn't want to.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
“You are her savior and her executor.” Abaddon repeated those words she had highlighted before.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
While all the demons around her laughed cruelly, Y/N remained silent trying to deal with all those voices in her mind. How was she so blind?
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
“Okay, I got tired. Kill them all.” Abaddon shrugged and several demons walked towards the avengers, ready to tear them apart.
But Y/N's voice stopped them dead, especially what she had to say.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
“You don't have to do this.” Y/N pointed her sword at Abaddon, there was no turning back. If she was going to leave, she would do it with honor. “I challenge you to a duel, you and me. Nobody else."
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
“Yeah, I don’t care.” The redhead was going to ignore her but Y/N appeared in front of the Knight, placing the point of Willbreaker on that pale neck. Making some demons cheer in amusement, making Abaddon feel completely like an idiot.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
“I am Leviathan, my name is holy, and you will accept the duel, because I outrank you.” Y/N hissed. Clenching her jaw, you could see in those blue demonic eyes how furious she was. Abaddon couldn't refuse a duel, especially with Y/N.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
Completely changing from anger to a pleased smile, Abaddon nodded and bowed. “I accept.”
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
Sighing and lowering her sword, Y/N made sure that only one of them left that place alive.
But what the demon didn't expect was that the demons behind would suddenly catch her, taking her sword away. A rather treacherous move, but what could she expect from a demon?
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
Not understanding what it was about, or if Abaddon was not going to comply, Y/N opened her eyes wide especially because the redhead moved away from her to approach Stolas.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
“But first, the vermin.” The higher demon looked at Jules, vicious violence was reflected in those eyes.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
“Let me go. This is between you and me!” Y/N growled, trying to break free, but even more demons held her down.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
… This one's for the faithless, the ones that are surprised.
They're only where they are now, regardless of their fight…
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
Abaddon's wicked gaze fell on Natasha, then pointed her sword at Stolas. “You know who she is, right?”
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
“She told me everything.” Natasha clenched her jaw tightly, remembering all the things Jules said to her the last time they saw each other. All those secrets.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
The brunette was extremely sincere, to the point that she endured Natasha's punches and screams when she found out who Jules was, and why kept silent about the Red Room.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
Narrowing her blue eyes, doubtful that the little demon was sincere, Abaddon kept poking the bear. “Stolas was the one in charge of keeping everything running in the Red Room, so long ago. She was a great demon. Prince of Hell.”
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
She smiled evilly, feeling the pain and spite in Natasha. And above all, the blame on Stolas.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
“But I must tell you something, be honest with you even though I love to lie.” The redhead faked a love sigh and placed a hand on her chest. “But one day… she decided to throw everything away and allowed one of the Black Widows, one of the best and most ruthless agents, to escape. Can you believe it?"
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
Jules looked down, sad but remembering a dark past. Having mercy had been her 'big mistake'. She never told Nat that she helped in the 'escape'.
The Knight shook her head, disappointed.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
“And when she returned to hell, we torture and humiliated her for years, hundreds of years. Well, time passes differently there anyway.” Abaddon shrugged and turned to look at Jules. “Draw your sword, little bird.”
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
It looked like a small bird about to be eaten by a crocodile, but Stolas did not retreat.
Jules swallowed, stepping back and finally summoned her sword.
It was a smaller sword than Y/N's, leaf-bladed but definitely much better than nothing. Stolas was a fallen angel, but not as important as them.
She positioned herself ready to fight, but Abaddon raised an eyebrow.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
“Everyone look at the prince of Hell!” The redhead mocked. “Did you think you were going to go against me? Really? She thinks she's in the big leagues.”
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
Everyone started laughing, making the brunette feel even more nervous. She rested her gaze on Y/N, who just looked into her brown eyes, trying to encourage her.
Stolas held onto the grip of the sword, feeling her hands sweating.
But as Abaddon walked away, ready to watch the fight, some demons stepped forward holding their swords. Not just one, there were five.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
“Astaroth. Oriax. Sitri. Orobas… and…” Jules named them one by one, watching as they surrounded her with a wicked look. Of course she was at a disadvantage, but she wouldn't let them intimidate her. Stolas wrinkled her nose, looking at the fifth in front of her. “I don't really know you, you must be new. You're going to be a piece of cake.”
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
Finally she smiled a bit smugly, moving the sword in circles and waiting for one of them to take the first step.
The tension increased while everyone waited for the first one to make a mistake, and luckily one of the demons ended up giving in to his internal violence, launching the first blow.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
Taking advantage of this offensive movement, Stolas blocked the attack and pushed that demon towards the others. Between punches, blocks and stabs, the little demon thanked each of the lessons that Natasha taught her.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
All of them watched that battle with sadness and amazement. Without realizing that they were at a key moment for the universe, feeling completely helpless as they watched every time Jules received a hit or a cut.
But even so, the brunette moved skillfully, trying to avoid being attacked by all of them. With that heart beating fast and her breathing labored, Stolas raised the sword and waited again for the attack of four of them.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
The demon that she 'did not know' ended up on the ground, disappearing from the face of the Earth. One down, four to go.
The blood fell down her face, the cuts in so many parts of her body made her recoil like a wounded animal. That tender, sweet look was now a deadly look, and she would die with it until she took her last breath.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
A gasping breath as she attacked again, but this time there was something different. Stolas eyes widened as she felt the edge of a sword stabbing her stomach forcefully.
Behind her, one of the demons smiled maliciously.
She fell on her knees, unable to understand.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
A loud beep drowned out the screams around them, Natasha's screams, Y/N's screams trying to break free, the cheers of the demons around.
Those brown eyes filled with tears, feeling that sharp and terrifying pain in her belly. As if something began to boil inside her. An unbearable pain.
And still, she managed to get up little by little.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
“Leave her alone.” Y/N begged Abaddon, kneeling as those demons held her. “Don’t do this. The fight is between you and me.”
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
But Abaddon just smirked, victorious.
Especially when another of the demons stabbed Stolas from the front again, and the next as well. Finally she knelt down, trying to bear it but finally the last one of the swords pierced her body.
Y/N kept kicking and fighting trying to get free. Tears began to fall in floods down her face, feeling a deep pain in her heart. A pain that she never thought she would feel for something or someone other than Wanda.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
For someone a demon like her never thought, she would become her best friend.
A great friend.
A loyal friend.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
So loyal, that blood began to gush from her pink lips but she did not complain. Jules just turned to look at Y/N, smiling with that tenderness that always characterized her since they met.
The one she always complained about, saying 'you should look more serious, Stolas. You’re a demon.'
And now, she would never see again.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
… This is for the ones who stand...
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
“It’s okay.” Jules whispered, her gaze on Y/N, one last time. Trying to give her peace, knowing that she would leave as a 'hero'.
Suddenly, Abaddon’s sword pierced Stolas chest from behind, stealing the last sigh from her.
Her brown eyes flashed for a moment before burning, as Y/N screamed in despair.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
Really terrifying screams, full of pain, like a wounded and angry beast. A sound that would haunt everyone for eternity. A sound as if a beast was wounded, like a powerful storm in the ocean.
She would destroy everything in her way.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
The first layer of protection that surrounded the Avengers faded with the loss of Stolas.
That terrified Tony, who kept trying to solve the issue and kept talking to Friday. Repeating the process again, unsuccessfully.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
The ashes in the air made her explode, pushing the demons with such force that it surprised them.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
"Y/N...." Wanda tried to get her attention, approaching the barrier but the demon didn't hear her. She was furious, completely blind.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
"Y/N, don't do it. That's what she wants." Natasha said, approaching too but none of them were lucky.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
“Finally!” Abaddon exclaimed excitedly, swinging her sword.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
“Do what you have to do and get out!” Y/N yelled at Tony, clenching the handle of her sword tightly before delivering the first swing.
She was tired of being patient and playing the war in the smartest way.
Every furious step approaching Abaddon was every blow she swung with her sword.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
The anger that Y/N managed only made the redhead laugh happily, knowing that she got what she wanted, hurting Y/N deeply. Therefore, her death would be even more delicious.
The sharp blades of their swords meeting again and again made Tony feel even more anxious and terrified. The pressure not only of the moment but of his friends, who were waiting.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
Y/N moved with surprising agility, hitting hard but also evading delicately, as if it were a dance.
She looked so confident, so strong, that Wanda even felt a bit proud, although she would never admit it.
Strange that Abaddon didn’t attack with all her power, and had a very good reason.
Because when Y/N finally slashed her cheek, the redhead unleashed all the fury of the angel of the abyss.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
“Okay, enough games.”
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
With blinding fury, like hellfire, Abaddon advanced striking so hard that Y/N feared her sword would break. Amazed by the redhead's brute strength, she frowned when, with one blow, Abaddon sent her stumbling back.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
Y/N frowned.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
“Surprised?” Abaddon teased. “You are not the only one with help. I thought you were going to use your wings.”
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
Approaching quickly, Abaddon launched a blow making her fall.
Y/N held the swing of the sword with her own, kneeling, using the strength of her legs but the force the redhead exerted began to make her give way.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
“You’re just weak.” Abaddon said through clenched teeth, seeing the demon on the ground, she struck again but Y/N moved quickly, evading it. “Like her.”
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
The Knight hit hard again but only found dust, Y/N stood up nimbly, moving away but always staying alert.
One of the demons was going to attack her from behind, like Jules, but the redhead quickly made it fall back, raising a hand. “She’s mine!” Yelled angrily, and looked at the Leviathan again.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
Time after time, Abaddon took the lead and hit her hard. Not only with the sword, but also with punches and kicks. Both hitting the ground, crashing into rocks.
Time passed and they both fought fiercely, but unfortunately the redhead had the upper hand, with just a few cuts and blows. While Y/N, she was much worse.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
Abaddon's last sword blow cut her stomach and her left eye, crossing her face, losing the eye forever.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
“Give up, it’s over. She’s ours.” The Knight of Hell boastfully exclaimed.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
She had never seen Y/N like that, defeated and tired. And she loved it.
Y/N coughed up more blood than she expected.
The pain in her stomach and back let her know that she had two large cuts, so deep that blood began to fall like rivers. “As long as I’m breathing… it’s not over.”
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
Leviathan was so hard and stubborn, like waves hitting the rock. Time and time again, she would come back.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
“Why do you fight for them? They are no better than us, look at them…” Abaddon pointed to her friends, whom Y/N considered her family for all that time. To whom she would have sold without thinking long ago, and she now was giving her life to protect them.
For Wanda, the woman she loved; feeling love for the first time in her life, caring about something other than herself.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
“They’re terrified, hiding while a ‘demon’ fights for them.” The blue-eyed demon glanced at them out of the corner of her eye. “Why fight for them? They are parasites.”
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
Taking a deep breath, getting as much air as she could, tried to stay alive.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
“Sometimes I tend to wonder why… Why I try?” But Y/N chuckled sadly, shaking her head as she tried to catch her breath. “Because I have been around them all my life, watching these vermin benefit, feed, and destroy everything in their path. They are parasites.”
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
Finally the demon got up with some difficulty, Y/N spit blood to the side.
Everything hurt, inside and outside.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
“I’ve seen what they're capable of… I just realized how fucked up they are! Just wandering around through life until they die! Which they know is coming, and yet every single one of them is surprised when it happens to them! They came to Hell saying 'oh no! What did I do?! 'How could I have died?!” Y/N laughed, feeling the pain in her body. Thinking how crazy that all sounded and how strange they could be.
Slowly, she limped closer. and watched them one by one. Knowing their deepest desires, their darkest sins.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
“They only think of satisfying their own desires, those two you see there?” She pointed at Tony and Steve. “They were about to beat each other so many times… Tony Stark sold weapons! That they destroyed Wanda's home! Remember? Humans kill each other, which is CLEARLY insane…” Y/N sighed as she saw Wanda, and then turned to face Abaddon again. “But here’s the thing… When it's something that really matters, they fight. I mean, they're lame morons for fighting sometimes…”
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
Abaddon tilted her head, trying to understand. To her it was just incoherent babbling.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
“But they do. They never, never quit…” Y/N held her sword again. “So I guess I will keep fighting for them too.”
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
The redhead did the same. It was glorious to be able to end someone who wanted to destroy her entire existence, envied since she was made but also had respect for Leviathan. “It's your death.”
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
“Honey, it has been for quite some time. You just don't know.” Y/N smiled mockingly and began to surround her as if she were a wild animal, taking a more alert and less defensive position.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
Despite the pain going through different parts of her body, Y/N moved the sword in circles, waiting for the attack.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
…For the ones who try again…
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
And when the redhead attacked, Y/N used the opponent's strength to cut her body and make her stumble. A deep cut across her thigh, making Abaddon limp.
Natasha's voice reminding her of that move over and over again in their training reached her.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
Turning to look at her with murderous fury, Abaddon attacked again but Y/N knew how to defend herself until the Knight used the strength of those invisible wings, hitting her chest so hard and making Y/N fall and slide into the protective barrier.
Worried, everyone watched as the demon stirred in pain. The only one who could get past the protection was Y/N, and if Abaddon realized the spell, she would do her best to destroy it.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
“Don't… move. Their eyes are on me, just... leave. Soon.” Y/N mumbled in pain, still on the ground, trying to catch air like a fish out of water. The demons' laughter made Y/N close her eyes for a moment, trying to gather the strength to keep going. She couldn't stop there.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
She had to give them time, she had to help them.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
Y/N opened her eyes when she felt a presence next to her, a soft hand taking hers, to help her up.
Kate Bishop gave her a small smile as Y/N placed the arm around her shoulder for support. Yelena quickly approached to help too.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
“Thank you.” The demon muttered barely due to the swelling from the cut on her face, slowly walking with them towards the barrier.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
“Kate? I have to be honest with you.” She whispered, swallowing hard. “When I met you… I thought you were a fool, like a weak point and desperate for a friend.”
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
Those words made Y/N shed a tear. Ashamed of herself. “I was never so wrong in my entire existence… because you are my best friend. You are a good person, you have a big heart… so please, never lose it. I was the fool, but lucky to have you all.”
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
“I do believe that you can change.” Kate dared to say, those blue eyes so red from crying. The archer was the first brave one to step forward to help her, without expecting anything else. “I don't care that you are a demon, you both were my best friends. I'm sorry I was so afraid of you.”
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
… For the ones who need a hand…
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
“Thank you.” Kate said as well and hugged Y/N for a moment, surprising the demon who simply nodded barely.
Knowing that it was a noble sacrifice, despite being a completely dark creature.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
Natasha tried to dry her tears and just smiled sadly, each one thanked her in her own way. Even with the silence.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
“I think this time is going to work. Friday is turning on the machine...” Tony assured, somewhat sadly. “Do you think you can last five minutes?”
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
“Five minutes?" Y/N took a deep breath. “Piece of cake.”
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
But as soon as she was going to leave, Y/N felt arms around her body. A strong, needed hug, a hug that she had waited her entire life for. The demon closed her eyes, trying not to keep crying.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
“Please don't leave me here.” Wanda begged, hiding her face in her lover's chest. Nothing mattered anymore, not the resentment, not the past, not the pain. The pain in her voice, Wanda’s crying broke Y/N's heart.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
“We can handle them, I- can handle them. Just don't leave, detka. Please.” The Sokovian tried, raising her gaze to fix her gaze on who she knew and considered to be the love of her life.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
Smiling with deep anguish, Y/N gulped. “I have to.”
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
The Sokovian's sadness, the pain just made the demons around her, along with Abaddon, laugh like hyenas. Rejoicing in the brunette's pain because they knew it was all they needed.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
“I don’t want you to die.” Wanda sobbed, caressing her face slowly, feeling deep pain when she saw the wound. “I’m sorry.”
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
And finally, a small and sincere smile, a small light of happiness, returned to those lips.
That was the best ending in the world, how could she not leave being loved by the most wonderful woman in existence?
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
She would leave like a champion.
Like a champion of good.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
“I love you.” She kissed Wanda’s forehead and closed her eyes as a small tear escaped down her bloody cheek. The demon couldn't wait any longer, even if that kiss lasted forever.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
Slowly, her fingers slid away from hers. Although everything in her being, her mind, her heart, begged to stay… she knew it was best.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
“You can do this.” The Sokovian said one more time, encouraging her once again.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
Turning to look at her and picking up the sword from the ground, Y/N nodded solemnly.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
… For the ones who think they can.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
Of course she will do it. For her.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
“How long again, Stark?” Y/N growled.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
“The process will begin in five minutes…” Friday warned, making Abaddon narrow her eyes.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
And without further ado, Y/N returned to attack Abaddon with enormous force. Despite the pain, despite the injuries, despite the death of a friend.
She had love, and it was something much stronger than any evil in the world.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
“Three minutes!” Tony yelled.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
Y/N swung her sword and struck so fiercely that the redhead had no choice but to back away.
Surprised, Abaddon's eyes widened as Y/N kicked her stomach and sliced part of the white long neck.
Blood began to fall, leaving the Knight with no choice but to attack again.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
But knowing those movements, and knowing that Abaddon knew nothing but rage, Y/N turned avoiding her in a spectacular move and dodged the blow, stabbing Abaddon in the chest.
A masterstroke, even making Natasha proud.
Smiling the same way Abaddon did when she killed Stolas, Y/N stabbed the sword even deeper until she was close to her face and looked into those malignant eyes.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
“I was always superior to you, I just didn't want to settle for little... like you.” y/n whispered before violently removing the sword. The wound in her redhead's chest began to burn until she consumed it in a gasp of pain.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
Breathing deeply and trying to stand, Y/N changed her eyes and watched the demons around her.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
“Abaddon is gone. I am superior now, and I order you not to attack. Anyone who does something I don't like will burn like she did.” Y/N growled at them, looking at them with a murderous look.
The demons simply took a step back and lowered their heads, accepting the orders.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
“Does this mean we don't have to leave?” Natasha asked, frowning.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
They were about to leave the barrier when Y/N opened her eyes wide and raised her hand, stopping them.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
“Wait.” Y/N whispered.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
She knew that presence, one Y/N hadn't seen for a long time but knew was around.
After a few seconds, a flutter of wings was heard and all the demons quickly moved away, making room for her to pass.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
Slowly, that being walked towards Y/N with a unique elegance. Her curly brunette hair danced with every step she took, the armor shining like a sunny day. She was a great fighter; the long sword, bearer of truth.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
“I see you've gotten what you wanted.” Raphael said as she watched Abaddon’s ashes disappear. “Well done! I'm here to make sure you keep your deal.”
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
“Y/N?” Tony frowned as Friday reminded him that the process was done, they were only one button away from leaving. “Is this about the deal?”
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
“What deal?” Wanda frowned.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
“Lower beings should not interfere when adults speak.” Raphael watched Tony as if she were a bird of prey about to pounce on him. And Tony was about to answer, when Y/N intervened.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
“Wait.” The demon quickly said, expectant of the archangel Raphael's movements. “The deal is that she will be protected and safe. For her to be with her friends, I don't want her to-”
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
“Hold on.” Raphael turned to look at her, letting out an incredulous chuckle. Those blue eyes made her shiver. “That wasn't in the deal. I told you we would take care of her, and that's because I'm here to take her.”
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
Not being able to believe what she was hearing, Y/N looked down somewhat thoughtfully. “Take her where?”
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
“We’ll keep an eye on the girl in Heaven, we can't let 'The Scarlet Witch' just wander around there like it's nothing.” Raphael rolled her eyes, walking around to see Wanda more closely, as if it were a 'thing'. “It is a very powerful weapon. And now its ours.”
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
“Y/N? What is she talking about?” Wanda looked at Y/N, who was still somewhat pensive.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
“I don't care who you are. You're not taking her anywhere she doesn't want.” Steve stepped forward, holding his shield ready to defend the girl. Like everyone else, they took their place in front of Wanda.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
“The process has been completed.” Friday repeated.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
“Y/N?” Tony asked again, hoping for a quick answer. The screen warned over and over again that everything was ready.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
The tension increased again, no one knew what to do or how to react.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
“You know the place, right?” Y/N looked up and met Stark's eyes, who nodded knowing perfectly well what she meant. For a moment everyone believed that the problems had been solved, but apparently they had gotten worse.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
“Stark, don’t.” Wanda took a step forward, ready to leave the protection.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
“Now!” Y/N screamed and swung at the archangel, diverting her attention so they could escape.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
With a simple twist, so elegant and smooth, Raphael deflected Y/N's attack and stabbed the celestial sword into the demon's chest.
Opening her eyes wide, Y/N met Raphael's blue gaze and then fell to her knees.
A simple cut was already deadly, a stab to the heart of that shiny blade was eternal ruin.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
But nothing was as terrifying as Wanda's cry of pain, seeing the woman she loved dying, slowly fading away. A scream so powerful, that a scarlet witch energy escaped from her fingers with such force that it pushed Raphael and all the demons around her so hard.
The strength of that power made the archangel open her eyes big, terrified.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
Wanda couldn't stop crying, fighting with everyone to escape from their arms and go to her. With her last efforts, Y/N threw her sword into the protection so Natasha took it, holding it with some fear.
Giving one last look to Wanda, Y/N smiled slightly before disappearing into the ashes.
Without waiting another second, Tony pressed the button and all the suits activated, and they disappeared in a matter of seconds.
Leaving them behind.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
… And this part was for her, and this part was for her.
This part was for her, does she remember?
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ

ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ ㅤchapter four
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
Her gaze rested on the door's handle for about ten minutes, thinking about how to begin, what she was going to say. How was she going to do it? Trying to gain courage to do what she had to do, for so long.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ ㅤ
Things got out of control, she needed to face the situation now but it was so hard.
Y/N cleared her throat and finally knocked on the door, expecting that woman to be gone or to just have to get out of there but when the door finally opened, she sighed.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
That was her punishment for all the bad deeds.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
Wanda was in front of her, with a happy smile and an excited look. And all Y/N could say, feeling her heart break, was: “We need to talk.”
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
“Sure, come in.” Wanda hesitated a little surprised, especially by the look on Y/N's face. Looked like everything was going to hell. “What is going on, detka? What do you want to talk about?”
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
Gulping, Y/N turned to see her asking herself how to start. It wasn't easy to drop a bomb of this size, she knew Wanda wasn't going to take it well.
Her life and everyone's life hung by a thread.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
“I don't even know how to start. There are things about me that you should know, and you're not going to like them.” Y/N smiled sadly, feeling the room grow smaller and smaller around her, making the demon feel so helpless. She had never been so afraid before. She looked at Wanda, who sat next to her. “You know how I feel about you, right?”
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
Wanda smiled tenderly, taking Y/N's hand to give her the courage and support she needed so bad. “You should tell me.”
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
Y/N knew there was no alternative but to tell her the truth.
Looking around, the demon took a deep breath, filling her lungs with that exquisite perfume. Wanda smelled of coconut and a soft sweet tone of something she couldn't recognize.
Every part of her body told her not to do it, her mind told her not to say it, to just keep going as she was, but Abaddon wouldn't allow it.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
“I know you've tried to find out more about me, and I haven't been honest with you.” The demon continued, intertwining her fingers with her girlfriend's. “Who I was before I met you is not easy.”
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
Wanda was silent, noticing Y/N's internal struggle to say what she felt.
If the witch could read her mind now she could easily know, but there was something charming and special about Y/N, not being able to know created a painful but exciting anticipation.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
The melancholy in the Y/N’s gaze captivated her, as well as the passion in those kisses. The love in that woman’s eyes, which grew little by little as the months went by.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
“I'm crazy about you, Wanda. There's no debate about that, I don't want you to doubt my love.” Y/N shrugged, feeling as sincere as she had ever been with anyone before. “I'm in love with you.”
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
A huge, in love, sincere smile appeared on Wanda's lips, one that the world started seeing more when she met Y/N.
Couldn't even let her girlfriend finish speaking, the Sokovian just leaned in to kiss her.
Oh, the peace she felt when their lips met again. Closing her eyes, Y/N accepted that maybe this was the sweetest ending.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
“I love you.” Wanda whispered against her soft lips, still with eyes closed, still lost in that kiss.
Surprised, unable to believe those words, Y/N's eyes widened.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
“What?” Y/N babbled.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
“I know, I know it's not easy to hear...” Wanda giggled sheepishly. Her look showed nothing but unconditional, real and sincere love. “I hope I don't freak you out with this.”
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
But Y/N just kept quiet, still shocked. In her head there was nothing but surprise and enormous joy. So much so that she completely forgot the reason why she was there.
That heart beat so fast that the demon feared it would burst out of her chest.
Wanda loved her, she really loved her. Someone loved her!
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
“I love you too.” Y/N whispered, a confession both had been waiting for so long. The demon giggled, especially when Wanda wrinkled her nose, fangirling.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
“You do?”
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
“I do.” Y/N tucked a strand of brown hair behind her beloved's ear. “I really love you.”
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
Tension between their gazes grew exponentially. Their hearts intertwined once more when Y/N kissed her again, but this time it was a much more needy kiss.
Her tongue sought Wanda's to begin a slow dance. Challenging each other, caressing each other intimately until air became necessary.
Carefully, Wanda grabbed the collar of Y/N's shirt and pulled her to the bed, lying down together.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
Suddenly, Y/N couldn't think about anything but Wanda, her smile, the soft touch of her fingers, that sexy thick accent. She didn't even remember why she was there, and now nothing could keep her away from this woman right now.
Placing her hands on Wanda's hips and pulling her closer, Y/N left those soft lips to continue running along her jaw until she reached that delicate neck.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
Oh, her scent drove her completely feral.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
Smiling, she bit and kissed the sokovian’s neck so possessive and eager, until something made her stop quickly.
Realizing that she might have been moving too far and those feelings for Wanda were so addictive, Y/N pulled away to look into those green eyes, hoping she hadn't screwed everything up.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
“Sorry, I just…” Y/N said somewhat agitated. Her face was flushed, didn't know if it was because of shyness or desire. “I’m really into you. You've got me crazy about you. I never felt like this before.”
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
A sigh escaped Wanda's lips upon hearing her confession. Her heart was beating so hard, and that weird feeling in her belly was like she had millions of bats flapping around in desperation. It was strange but beautiful, especially since it was the first time.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
“The way you look, the way you walk, the way…that you smile.” Y/N raised a flirty eyebrow. “And you're so fucking sexy tho, I'm sorry.”
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
They both laughed, even in a moment as tense as that, making it more beautiful and even special. Y/N leaned her forehead to rest against hers, bonding in such an adorable way.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
“I want you.” Finally those words left Wanda's lips in a whisper, as if she wanted only them to witness that moment.
Y/N she kept her gaze on those full, sweet lips, as they moved. How much she wanted to lose herself in them.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
Totally crazy about her, and would be for her entire eternal life. Y/N closed the distance between them once more, joining in more than a kiss.
In slow caresses, soft touches, her fingers gradually got rid of the clothes when they both fell to the bed, surrendered to passion. The long-sleeved black blouse was left behind, same as that adorable but sensual black skirt of hers.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
“This is my first time.” Wanda confessed in a sigh, making Y/N pull away a little to look at her eyes.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
“I can stop whenever you want.” And it was true, of course she would stop if Wanda needed it. Hell, she could live an eternity without sex if Wanda wanted to. That's how in love and attached to her the demon was.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
“Sh, come here.” The Sokovian's eyes only showed desire, helping Y/N take off her clothes. Between giggles, they both physically loved each other for the first time.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
Wanda's first time with someone.
Y/N’s first time making love.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
Touching her with slow hands, just enjoying the feeling even if it made the Sokovian desperate.
Expectation and need devoured her like a wild beast.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
Y/N enjoyed the feel of the skin. That adorable and sensual birth mark on the witch’s boob, the way these fit perfectly in her hand as she softly squeezed them while kissing her belly.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
Wanda bit her lip when Y/N finally reached her most sensitive area. How the demon devoured her completely, first slowly to enjoy her and then with a wild need.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
She was at the edge.
And it felt so liberating.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
It felt nice, it felt like touching paradise. And Wanda allowed herself to smile, to moan, clinging to her lover once her orgasm hit.
And it wasn't the only one all night.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
“Tell me something about you.” The Sokovian whispered, resting on her lover's chest as she caressed Y/N's belly. She was struggling not to fall asleep.
Both were resting after the fifth orgasm, the clock showed that it was just 4:00 AM.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
Smiling tenderly, Y/N placed a small kiss on Wanda’s head. She kept silent for a moment, thinking how to say it, without having to say the harsh and truly incredible reality.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
“Jules and I grew up in this… big place, where... there wasn't much affection, but it didn't matter because I had everything. It was a long time ago.” Y/N murmured as her fingers ran down the brunette's back. She made sure to collect and caress each of her moles and birthmarks and treasure them forever in her mind. “Although I saw amazing things.”
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
She smiled wistfully.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
“Then something happened that made me leave the place. No… In fact, they kicked me out of my place.” Her melancholic voice changed to a much harder one, perhaps an angrier one, you could still see it hurt by the decision they had made so long ago. “I made a silly mistake, a very stupid one indeed… They kicked me out of my home.”
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
Noticing the sadness in Y/N, Wanda raised her gaze to see Y/N. How could they do that to Y/N? How could they kick her out of a place that made her happy? A place that felt like home.
How could they be so cruel? How could they take away something she loved? A safe place.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
“Their loss.” She caressed her cheek gently before reaching out to kiss it with such love that once again, it melt the demon’s heart. “Now you’re mine, detka.”
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
Smiling tenderly, Y/N kissed Wanda's lips once more, accepting where she should be, where she deserved to be, where she was destined. “Now I’m yours, forever.”
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
And this is how a unique love grew, a love so great and so dangerous. Because only the loss of true love could wreak havoc on Wanda’s unstable mind.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
She woke up by her side so many times, but that morning both seemed more radiant than ever.
After taking a nice, hot shower together, both left the room holding hands. They walked down the aisle without any fear to show their love, proud to have that person by their side.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
At least until they reached the lounge, where Natasha was chatting with someone Y/N couldn't recognize.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
“I’ve to go.” Wanda murmured, biting her lower lip, not wanting to let go but they had to. “I love you.”
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
“Love you too.” Y/N gave her a peck on her lips and then watched her walk away. Nothing mattered to her in those moments, Wanda managed to make her forget everything and although it was dangerous, she couldn't help it. She never felt so helpless.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
But a pang made the demon narrow her eyes, those instincts were begging to be heard. A strong smell reached her, making her turn quickly to see where Natasha was.
The Black Widow was chatting with someone pleasantly, someone she could easily recognize.
She walked up to the two of them, trying to look nonchalant.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
“What’s happening here?” Y/N said, drawing their attention, her gaze fell on the other redhead and her blood ran cold when she actually saw who it was.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
“Oh, Y/N. This is Josie Miller, she has come to visit. Works for the government but I think the CIA sent her to spy on us.” Natasha joked, both redheads laughed together. They seemed to get along very well, and it was something that Y/N didn't like at all.
How long had she been there? How much information did she get from Nat?
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
“Just a little visit, just this woman is incredible, we stayed chatting more than we should.” Abaddon nodded but when she fixed her gaze on Y/N, smiling widely. Clearly this was not a friendly visit. “To see if anyone here needs my help in the future.”
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
“Well, it was nice meeting you, Josie.” Natasha shook her hand and then grabbed her phone which started ringing. “Y/N, can you walk her out? Sorry, Stark is a pain my ass today.”
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
Gulping, Y/N fakes her best, kindest smile. “Sure, I'll walk you out, if you like.”
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
Before Abaddon's scathing gaze, Y/N walked her down the hallway, feeling the tension in her body increase. As soon as she saw the storage room empty, the demon pushed Abaddon into it and locked it.
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
“What are you doing here?” Y/N hissed once she realized they were alone, with Abaddon around anything could happen.
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
“Well, seeing that my dear Stolas didn't work as a spy, I've decided to come and see how everything is going.” Abaddon mocked and walked through the storage, looking around, especially some boxes with Stark tech. “These monkeys and their destructive tech. They are not better than us, you know?”
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
Y/N gulped at the mention of Stolas. She hadn't heard from her since the demon left to see Abaddon. “I told you everything was fine.”
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
Abaddon snorted. “Yes, of course, you've told me everything I needed to know.”
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
The redhead rolled her eyes and turned to look at Y/N.
This time the irony disappeared, her face became more somber and fearsome.
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
“Things changed and so did plans.” The Knight narrowed her eyes and walked around Y/N, like a war general trying to command respect or perhaps like a wild animal surrounding its prey. “Seems we have one more spy between us, the sky is a bit agitated, so Chton decided to take the girl once and for all.”
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
Y/N was grateful that Abaddon didn't see her at that moment, her face completely pale.
How was that possible? She couldn’t be serious. Wanda wasn't ready and she wasn't ready to lose her.
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
“But…” Y/N whispered. “She's not ready.”
Giggling at Y/N's naivety, Abaddon stood in front of her.
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
“It doesn't matter. We will torture her to madness if necessary.” The high-ranking demon shrugged.
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
Y/N didn't know what to say or what to do. Couldn't face Abaddon now or half of that place would end up destroyed. She couldn't make her suspicious either, had to play better cards.
Abaddon was much more volatile, her strength was brute while Leviathan flowed like water, Y/N was smarter than her and knew when to attack. Because when the Leviathan did, it was relentless.
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
Their rivalry dated back millennia, but Y/N never wanted the position Abaddon fervently desired.
In a daring way, the redhead approached Y/N, just inches from her face. The icy blue of those eyes colliding with Y/N's, carmine red lips and a perfume so strong that it permeated the demon's nose.
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
“I know you're playing with the witch, the Widow told me everything.” Abaddon narrowed her eyes, she didn't look offended or upset, she just seemed… proud? Strangely cheerful? Not even Y/N knew how to take it. “It's a good move, breaking her heart so hard she'll end up crazy.”
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
Abaddon smiled, showing those prominent fangs.
Y/N clenched her fists to endure the rage. Abaddon struck her weakest area.
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
“Oh, honey, when she finds out who you are...” She let out an evil laugh, patting the Y/N’s shoulder. “You're risking your ass for this, Leviathan, I admit it. You have earned my respect.”
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
Oh, of course Abaddon was happy about that. If Wanda becomes the Scarlet Witch out of pain, what would stop her from taking down Y/N out of spite? Nothing.
Far from enraging the Knight of Hell, this time she played a much heavier and more powerful card.
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
A masterful play.
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
“On that day, the Scarlet Witch with her sore and great and strong sword shall punish leviathan, the twisted serpent; and she shall slay the dragon that is in the sea and bound it a thousand years,” Abaddon recited those words written in the book so dark and so ancient, ones that made Y/N clench her jaw.
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
“You have seven days left, make the most of it.” The redhead winked at her, knowing that she won that battle.
Taking her leather jacket, Abaddon walked towards the door to leave when Y/N gained enough courage to speak.
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
“I want Stolas back.” Leviathan turned to look at her, knowing it might be a bad move, but she would never leave Stolas alone. “I know you have her.”
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
The silence remained for a moment.
Both gazes colliding, for the first time Y/N didn't let herself be trampled by her.
Tilting her head, amazed at Leviathan's bravery, Abaddon sneered: “I no longer need the little bird as a spy.”
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
Smiling wryly, Y/N replied: “I don’t care, I want her back.”
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
The blue eyed demon was about to refuse again when Y/N interrupted one more time, she wasn't going to take 'no' for an answer. She was resilient, even more so when it came to the people she loved.
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
People she loves.
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
Those words seemed so absurd, a year ago it would have made her laugh out loud just thinking that she could love someone or be loved. Friendship was such a stupid and meaningless concept, one that today the demon would defend to the death. Because Jules would have done the same thing.
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
“If you want the girl to be broken, Stolas is part of the plan.” Y/N tried again, arching a sassy eyebrow. Whatever threat Abaddon made to her, didn't give a fuck. And she could tell by the way the redhead clenched her jaw, knowing that even in her worst moments, she couldn't touch Y/N.
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
“I'm tired of torturing the spawn anyway.” Shrugging, trying to look disinterested, she raised her hand and snapped those long pale fingers.
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
At that moment a naked body appeared on the ground. Jules was curved, head down, and arms and legs pulled in close to the body, trying to endure the pain.
The bruises and blood on Jules's pale skin, the wounds were more than Y/N could count. Stolas, who had been tortured from the moment she had stepped into hell empty-handed.
Swallowing, the brunette looked up to see Y/N, feeling extremely embarrassed that she saw her that way. Those brown eyes were red from the beating, but Y/N could see the sorrow in them for failing a friend.
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
“Seven days and this land will be scourged.” Abaddon reiterated, watching them with a deadly gaze. Y/N didn't say anything, just approached Stolas to help her.
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
She was about to leave but then stopped. “You don't happen to know where Furcas is, do you?”
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
The irony in those words flowed like blood in her veins, of course the Knight knew perfectly well what had happened to Furcas, she was testing her.
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
“He must be entertained among innocent women and children, right? It's his specialty.” Arching an eyebrow, Y/N responded in the same way, having nothing to lose at that moment.
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
“Yes, that must be it.” Abaddon said, narrowing her eyes but still smiling wickedly.
The redhead waved at them before walking down the hallway before disappearing.
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
As soon as the Knight was gone, she took Jules and they both disappeared from there to appear in their room. Quickly, Y/N grabbed a blanket and covered her friend, helping her up.
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
“Are you okay?” Y/N was so worried, never felt so helpless.
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
“I think so.” Jules muttered, she could barely see with her face so swollen. Hell, she could barely talk. Apparently she had several teeth missing.
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
Feeling deep guilt but mostly sadness at seeing her like that, Y/N brought her hand to Jules's forehead and quickly healed her.
It wasn't something she could do easily, only fallen angels could do it, but she could take a little of Stolas' pain and share it.
The brunette's face was deflated, you could simply see some small cuts on both of their faces and their bodies, but nothing more than that. Those bruises and burns went from a dark color to a softer one, soon to heal.
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
“Much better.” Y/N smiled melancholy, feeling the burning cut on her lip.
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
Jules looked at her surprised, perhaps more worried. “You shouldn't have done that, she could have killed you.”
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
“She can't do that, otherwise she would have done it a long time ago.” Sighing, Y/N helped Jules sit up on the bed.
Then came over with a glass of water which Jules drank quickly, completely thirsty.
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
“Y/N…” The brunette knew that even though Y/N tried to look carefree, she was quite worried. Especially with everything Jules had to tell her. “She's raising hell. She will free Chton any way she can.”
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
Fear was heard in Stolas 's voice.
Of course Y/N knew something big was coming, of course she felt terror freeze her blood just thinking about it.
Determined, inhaling deeply, she knew it was time to take charge of the situation and stop daydreaming.
If she truly loved Wanda, she must do everything to protect her.
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
“We have to talk to them now.” Y/N whispered, knowing it was for the best. That her heartbreak was better than watching Wanda fall into madness. “She's coming for her.”
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
A few hours later, both demons walked through the compound as if they were going straight to the gallows.
They knew nothing good was going to happen after tonight, but it was a necessary evil.
Once they arrived at the Lounge, Y/N felt her heart skip a beat as she saw Wanda chat with Yelena, before the blonde walked away. J
ules looked at Y/N with a wistful look and squeezed her shoulder. “I'll go talk to Nat. Good luck.”
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
“My deepest condolences.” Y/N wrinkled her nose, she even felt a little sorry for Stolas. Natasha would kick her ass easily. “When she finds out what we did… If she could, she would kill you.”
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
“She has a heart too big for that, and that's what torments me. I love her.” Jules said sadly, putting her hands in the pocket of the huge hoodie she was wearing. “But you and I deserve this. We deserve to suffer, not them.”
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
Strong and harsh words, but real.
Y/N nodded and took courage before walking towards Wanda, who as soon as she saw her coming gave her a huge smile.
Oh, how in love she was.
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
“Hello, detka. I thought I wouldn't see you today-”
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
“Wands… we need to talk.” Taking a place next to her girlfriend, you could see how the demon seemed a little nervous. The worry and sadness reflected in those eyes.
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
“Sure, like last night.” Wanda flirted a bit.
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
“I mean it, I need to talk to you.” She sighed.
Y/N tucked a strand of brown hair behind her lover's ear, caressing her cheek, those adorable moles.
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
Seeing that Y/N seemed to be serious and noticing the concern on her face, Wanda sought her gaze. “What's going on, detka?”
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
Y/N hesitated.
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
For the first time in this long life, Leviathan felt deep fear, so much so that the words rushed out of her lips.
The searing pain of knowing that she will lose her forever.
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
“I'm not who you think I am.” She began, taking a deep breath. “I'm not who you expect.”
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
Frowning, not understanding what this was all about, Wanda took her girlfriend's hand. She didn't want to fall prey to fear and anxiety, but Y/N was breaking all of her schemes once again. “What do you mean?”
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
Getting up from her seat, Y/N tried to arrange the words in her mind before saying something that would break everything.
Scratched the back of her neck thoughtfully. “I'm not who you think I am.”
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
Silence reigned for a few seconds before the Sokovian spoke again, this time her voice was much hoarser.
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
“This is because last night-?” The brunette thought about the passionate night they spent together. Sure, it must be that. Got something from Wanda and then she was gone, it was always the same. “I can’t believe it.”
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
Wanda shook her head and stood up ready to leave. Those green eyes filled with tears.
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
“What?” Y/N frowned, She didn't understand until after a few seconds the answer came to her. Wanda was thinking that- “oh, NO! No, no no.”
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
“First, we make love, I have my first time with you and now you leave me. I already know it all.” The brunette shook her head, covering her face, feeling like such an idiot. How could she be so gullible?
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
"It's not because of that!” Y/N took her lover's hand but Wanda quickly let go. “I love you with all my fucking heart, it’s not about that. It's not about that!”
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
Wanda looked at her even more confused than before. “Then what is it?”
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
Hesitant, Y/N gulped.
Feeling like a trapped mouse, there was no escape, only the pain.
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
“It’s about me.” She whispered almost imperceptibly.
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
Of course that didn't clarify any of the ideas that the witch was having in her mind. What could be so bad to see so much concern in those eyes? Wanda wished she could read her mind right now.
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
“You- you know the whole story of... religion and all that?” Y/N babbled nervously, licking her lips but Wanda just tilted her head, looking even more confused.
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
“Are you Mormon?”
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
“No! I’m just-” The demon exploded, pinching the bridge of her nose, taking so many deep breaths before continuing. “I try to explain to you but I don't know how.”
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
Y/N felt so frustrated. “Have you ever felt or had any paranormal experiences?”
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
“You mean besides having powers and reading people's minds?” Wanda jokes, sitting next to her.
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
Sighing in defeat, Y/N stood up to walk around the room. “Wanda, I'm not human.”
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
She finally let it go bluntly, already tired of looking for excuses or softer ways to tell the truth. An ugly and painful truth, one that was better to discover once and for all.
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
“What are you talking about?” Wanda frowned, unable to believe that Y/N kept something so important from her for so long. “Are you enhanced? Why did you never tell me...?”
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
“No, no that.” Swallowing, knowing it was time, Y/N confessed what she never thought she should say: “I’m a demon.”
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
The silence after that was terrifying, but after a moment Wanda's amused laughter made everything even more uncomfortable for the demon.
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
“Come on, detka. You and your jokes, I almost believe it.” Shaking her head, trying to bear her laughter, Wanda turned to leave but Y/N grabbed her arm.
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
“No, I mean it.” Y/N frowned, perhaps a little offended. “I’m a demon.”
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
“No, you’re not.”
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
“My name is…” The brunette tried to say something but Wanda stopped her.
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
“Y/N.” Wanda sighed, this joke was going too far. It was going from being fun to being a bit uncomfortable.
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
“No, that’s the name I chose to be on Earth all those years ago.” Y/N was beginning to fall into a deep pit of despair. She needed Wanda to believe it, she understood that all that sounded crazy but didn't want to have to prove it to her.
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
Didn't want Wanda to see her as she really is.
A monster.
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
“Y/N, demons do not exist.” Wanda got up from the couch, already a little upset by all of this. It was the first time they had an 'argument' and it wasn't even an 'argument'.
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
She walked towards the exit of the lounge when suddenly Y/N appeared in front of her, as if by magic. A kind of soft flapping sound was heard when she did so.
But what made her retreat was not that but the eyes of her lover. Those eyes that she loved so much now changed to one very reptile-like. Like those of a deadly viper.
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
“Do you need more proof?” Y/N said, walking towards her, noticing how the Sokovian backed away quickly. But after seeing the fear in her green eyes, Y/N turned to her human eyes. “I need you to listen to me, I'm not going to hurt you, I love you.”
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
“You can't love me, you are a-a… I don't even know what you are!” Wanda murmured, scared, but above all upset by her lies. Suddenly, her fingers began to move, playing with that red magic between them.
Y/N felt like a dagger pierced her heart upon hearing those painful words.
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
“I know it's hard to accept, I know a lot of things are going through your mind right now.” Y/N said quickly raising her hands as she got closer, the demon didn't want to hurt anyone or fight her. A small tear escaped her eyes, a sincere and real tear. “But I want to tell you the truth.”
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
Although she felt so hurt, Y/N's words managed to calm her down for a moment. The look in the demon’s eyes didn't lie, much less the tears she couldn't hold back, she couldn't be pretending, right?
The red magic stopped; Wanda sighed and lowered her guard, accepting Y/N’s approach.
Slowly, Y/N came closer until she was in front of her. That woman she loved so much, to whom her heart belongs since she met her.
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
“You're in danger. That’s why I’m here telling the truth.” Y/N sighed.
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
“Danger of what?” Wanda stroked the sides of her head, trying to bear this whole situation. “I don't understand anything.”
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
“Wanda.” Y/N began, taking her hand and even though the Sokovian took it away the first time, the demon took it again to take her to the couch and make her sit there. Y/N knelt in front of her, trying to explain all this madness.
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
“A very powerful demon has been looking for you for a long time.” Y/N whispered. “You're made for great things.”
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
And although it was a lot of information all together, Wanda seemed to refuse to accept it. How was it physically possible? It was too much.
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
"No! I am just-"
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
“A girl with these powers that you still don't understand.” Y/N felt enormous guilt, the confusion and suffering that Wanda felt in those moments must have been overwhelming. “You think it was Hydra's fault, but actually those powers come from yourself. Deep inside you, you know I'm telling the truth… That’s Chaos Magic, Wanda.”
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
Unable to believe all that, the brunette just shook her head. Tears began to fall down her cheeks, how did Y/N possibly know all that? No.
She got her powers because she was stupid enough to join Hydra, not because she was something 'special'.
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
“You’re the Scarlet Witch.” Y/N finished in a sigh, taking her hands. “And there are things out there that want to use you, do you a lot of harm. And I couldn't do it, I love you. I fell in love with you since I met you.”
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
She was being painfully honest, the crying alone could prove that.
Even though the witch was afraid, and her instincts screamed to run away, Wanda couldn't help but feel that she was telling the truth. Despite the lies, despite Y/N’s true nature, the love was still there.
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
“Please, read my mind.” Y/N begged her, desperate for the first time in her life. “You'll know I'm telling the truth.”
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
Wanda tried to break free, but the demon was stronger, bringing Wanda's hands to the sides of her head.
Confused, Wanda didn't know what to do. Was she really ready to know the whole truth? Was she ready to break completely?
For her to accept that the one she loved so much turned out to be something so and demonic? To accept the betrayal of her great love.
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
Without further ado, Y/N closed her eyes, lowering that barrier and allowing the witch to read her mind for the first time.
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
…
Wanda blinked, trying to adapt to the light of that place. It looked like a very bright and warm place, a long hallway that seemed eternal.
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
She walked a step down that hallway until she heard that voice, that voice she knew so well.
In one of the hallways, two people she didn't recognize were carrying Y/N, dragging and pushing her towards a huge window. She could now understand that she was in something like a 'building' or at least that's how her brain processed heaven.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ ㅤ
“What you do to humans is inexcusable! I just did what I was told! I didn’t do anything! You can't throw me out like you did with him! ” Y/N shouted before being banished forever. Pushed from that window and causing her fall.
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
...
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
“She's the Scarlet Witch.”
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
“But she’s a kid.” Y/N mumbled, somewhat confused. “Yeah, no, I don’t mess with the tiny ones.”
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
“Your job is to do what Chton ordered you to do.” Abaddon screamed furiously.
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
...
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
The doorbell rang as the kid entered the market. That adorable brunette walked through the aisles looking for something to eat until finally finding her favorite cereal. She remembered seeing it in one of her favorite episodes.
Smiling widely, Wanda took the box and put it under her dress before trying to leave the place.
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
Of course, she hadn't even gotten to the door when the owner, a fat old man with a prominent mustache, grabbed her arm, scolding and accusing of calling the police.
Seeing that the girl was struggling to get free, the man raised his arm ready to hit the kid but something didn't let him do it. A hand held his arm tightly, preventing from moving.
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
Surprised, the man turned to see that woman next to him.
He had not seen her come in, never seen her before but there she was.
Y/N was wearing a black leather jacket, a torn t-shirt from one of her favorite 90s bands, dark hair was tied in a ponytail.
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
“Hi.” Y/N smiled widely, not even seeming to make an effort to hold his hand. In fact, she pulled it harder, making the man scream in pain. “You should never, ever hit a child.”
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
Hitting him on the back of the head, she let the man fall to the ground.
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
“What’s your name, kid?” Y/N jumped over the counter to grab a paper bag in which she began to put some food. Bread, milk and some essential stuff.
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
“Wanda.” The girl said with a little voice.
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
“I know you and your brother are having a tough time, Wanda, but you shouldn't steal. At least not this guy, he has a gun behind the counter.” Sighing, the demon finished putting everything in those two bags and approached, crouching down to face the kid.
She was an adorable girl who was not to blame for having such an awful fate, the least she could do for her was give her something to eat. “This is for you.”
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
“I do not have money.” The Sokovian whispered sadly, lowering her gaze.
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
“I know, I don't want money. Hey, look at me.” Y/N asked, finally meeting the girl's eyes. When the demon's eyes changed and the little one seemed more curious rather than scared, Y/N whispered: “You are a good kid, I’m sorry this world doesn't let you be good. Be very careful with adults, not everyone is trustworthy. You'll go out through that door and you will forget all this, you will forget me and you will tell Pietro that you got this thanks to… A nice man in the market, and don't ever come back to this market again.”
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
The little girl nodded and left the market carrying those bags, happy to see your cereal box there.
Y/N watched out the window until little Wanda was out of sight, then looked at the man on the floor.
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
"Now you'll see what I do to bullies." the demon hissed.
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
...
ㅤ ㅤ
The experiments with the Maximoff siblings have been successful.” One of the Hydra scientists she had manipulated whispered to her.
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
“Good, take care of them. Don’t go too far.”
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
“They wanted this.” The scientist shrugged, not caring in the least about the lives of those two teenagers.
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
Taking that man by the neck, Y/N said through gritted teeth: “You're going to make sure they survive.”
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
...
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
“I’m not a fucking guardian angel! I hate this!”
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
…
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
“The Maximoff girl is suffering like a wounded animal.”
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
...
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
“My work at the Red Room has been relentless.”
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
…
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
“Stolas, you allowed one of the widows to escape!” Abaddon shouted angrily.
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
…
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
Through clenched teeth, Abaddon hissed: “I want to see that girl desolate and collapsed!”
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
...
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
“I can't do this anymore, I love her.” Y/N whimpered, sitting up on her bed, completely defeated.
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
“Without you... she couldn't have that destiny. You‘re her savior and her executioner.” Abaddon hissed mockingly.
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
…
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
“Y/N…” Jules whispered. “She's raising hell. She will free Chton any way she can.”
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
“We have to talk to them… today. She's coming for her.”
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
All those voices.
All those memories.
All those lies.
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
Wanda jumped terrified, confused, shocked by all the information she obtained in just a moment. She took a few steps back from Y/N who seemed as shocked and distraught as her.
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
“Wands…” Y/N whispered.
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
The disappointment in Wanda's eyes broke her heart, but of course the demon deserved it.
'We deserve to suffer, not them’ Jules' words were as true as they were accurate.
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
“Get out.” The pain could be heard in Wanda's voice, so much so that her thick sokovian accent resurfaced.
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
“I know you're angry and confused, but you have to listen to me.” The demon tried to get closer but of course the brunette wouldn't allow it.
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
The fear and rejection in the green gaze caused a sharp pain in Y/N's chest.
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
“I am beyond angry!” She exclaimed, all those memories coming back over and over again in her mind. How was that possible? She fell into Y/N's trap, Y/N lied to her so much, even long before they met.
It was just her duty to be close, how come she had been so stupid to believe her?
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
“I tried to tell you-”
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
“YOU LIED TO ME!” Wanda finally exploded.
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
“She's coming for you!” Y/N already said a bit more annoyed, especially worried. She understood Wanda's pain but this went beyond a broken heart. Wanda's life depended on this, and of course the entire planet's life.
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
“Get out of my sight.” the Sokovian hissed through her teeth, her green eyes turning a rather dangerous scarlet red.
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
Y/N stopped, perhaps a little afraid, chaos magic was not something to play with. And of course she didn't want to be the cause of the Scarlet Witch's hatching.
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
“Wanda, I need you to listen to me.” Even though her life was at risk, she tried to talk to Wanda. She loved that woman and wouldn't let anything happen to her.
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
“I said leave me alone!” Wanda screamed, a burst of red energy causing light bulbs to explode around her.
Y/N gulped.
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
“What’s going on here?” Yelena and Kate arrived quickly, worried by that noise.
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
“They’re demons.” Natasha exclaimed as she approached from behind, along with Steve and Tony, who was wearing his suit. Neither of them seemed very happy.
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
"What?!" Yelena frowned.
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
Suddenly, Jules appeared next to Y/N with a grim expression, making everyone jump.
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
“What the-?” Kate stammered, not understanding anything that was happening around her. Yelena just narrowed her eyes and stood in front of the brunette, ready to protect her.
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
“It would be best for you to leave.” Steve said with a seriousness rarely seen.
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
“And let them kill us while we sleep? We SHOULD lock them up until we know the answers.” Rhodey didn't look happy at all, coming up behind Tony.
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
“Where?! IThis one just appeared in front of us out of nowhere!” Yelena exclaimed.
The tension between everyone seemed to increase by the minute.
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
“We don't want to hurt you. We just want to help you.” Y/N tried one more time, raising her hands to demonstrate a passive attitude. She didn't want all of this to go this far.
But fed up with those lies, chaos once again dominated Wanda's actions.
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
“STOP LYING!” The Sokovian screamed and raised her hands, her chaos magic hit Y/N's chest, pushing her against the window glass and falling onto the terrace.
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
Coughing, it took Y/N a moment to slowly get up. Jules reached out to take her hand, helping her up. Breaking free from Yelena's grip, Kate was about to go for her friends.
The crystals cut Y/N's skin but she slowly began to heal, which made Kate stop.
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
“We just want to protect you, something is coming for her...” Y/N spit out blood as she stood up from the ground.
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
Her whole body hurt, but Wanda's hurt look cut deeper. After the anger, the Witch felt guilty for having hurt someone with her magic.
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
“She doesn't need your protection, she has us.” Natasha said standing in front of Wanda, ready to protect her just like the other avengers.
Natasha's green gaze only showed how furious and hurt she was by the lies of those who considered family.
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
“You don't understand, you won't be able to do it!” Jules looked for Nat's gaze, trying to make her listen but the redhead just looked the other way. “A legion will run over you all before you breathe.”
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
But no one listened.
They all simply moved forward, making them retreat to the terrace.
Of course the demons could fight them but it didn't make sense, taking Wanda out to some random place in the world against her will? No thanks, it was like carrying an atomic bomb in a suitcase.
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
“Wanda… You must believe me, I just want to help you. You saw how much I really love you.” Y/N begged once more, hoping her lover would believe it, at least because of all the beautiful things they had together.
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
But not even the taste of blood on her lips was as bitter as the rejection, Wanda just looked down.
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
“I don't want to see you again.” Wanda whispered in anguish, this time she was asking for it nicely. She was being reasonable. Without violence, just asking Y/N to leave forever.
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
Snatching her from her safe place, taking away what she loved most. Kicking her out of heaven one more time.
With nothing more to say since it was completely useless, Y/N sighed and walked away determinedly, complying with what her beloved needed.
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
Jules stood looking at all of them somewhat doubtfully, not really knowing what to do. The people she trusted the most now turned their backs on both of them.
It hurt, for the first time, something hurt so deeply, much more than Abaddon's torture.
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
Natasha's look broke the heart the demon never had.
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
“You don't know what awaits us. You have six days.” Without further ado, Stolas hurriedly walked to Y/N's side. Now there were two against the world, Abaddon and the Avengers.
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
“What are we going to do now?” Jules asked, so confused, noticing the worried expression that Y/N carried.
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
“Protect them. Whatever it takes.” Y/N paused, licking her lips somewhat thoughtfully. She had to make an important move on the board and she had to do it now. “I need to think... we need a place... and now? What we need is a big mouth.”
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
The higher-demon watched one of the cameras outside the compound for a moment before disappearing with her friend.

ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ ㅤchapter three
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
After two hours of travel by quinjet, everyone arrived in Égerszög, a small town in Hungary.
The mission was not easy, they had to enter and disrupt an organization linked to Batroc who remained on the run.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
The bad news was that the place was a very old church, close to the well-known caves of that town.
If Georges Batroc became aware of their presence, he could escape through the old basements and secret passageways to the cave with ease, although it was quite dangerous. That’s why as insurance against any attack, the mercenary took hostages who remained inside the cave.
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
The groups were divided between two or three agents, surrounding that place, Natasha and Yelena interfered as spies. They would go for Batroc, while the agents would take care of their mercenaries.
Y/N’s mission was to rescue the hostages who remained at the entrance of the cave.
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
“I'm going in.” Y/N announced over the earpiece.
Walking cautiously, the demon surrounded the church, taking down every mercenary she saw with agility until she finally could see the door to the cave. It was a rusty iron door, protected by two agents with machine guns and a deadly look.
Above them, two snipers stood expectantly in the church bell tower, ready to kill anyone they saw near the door.
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
“Kate, Y/N. Be careful, two snipers are in the church bell tower like two birds of prey.” Natasha's voice was heard in the earpiece.
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
“Yes, I can see them.” Y/N muttered, hiding behind an old concrete wall.
Next to her was Kate, who was clinging tightly to her bow, somewhat nervously. It wasn't her first mission, but this one wasn't easy and Clint wasn't at her side for the first time.
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
“Hey.” The demon caught her attention to look into Kate’s blue eyes. “I'll have your back, okay? I will shoot those at the door, you make the birds fly.”
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
Kate nodded quickly.
The archer took out one of the explosive arrows and took a deep breath, nervous about such a dangerous but necessary move. If they didn't get out of there, they would be surrounded by enemies soon.
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
“Don't be afraid, I won't let them shoot you.” Y/N whispered, placing her hand on the girl's shoulder. “I'll go out first, cover your back, shoot the sniper's nest. We will get those hostages out, we will go home and I'll buy you a burger.”
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
Being more confident, Kate nodded and steeled herself as Y/N came running and sliding out of hiding to shoot the agents in front of the door. Hiding behind a destroyed concrete wall, she nodded to Kate before firing again, giving confidence for the archer to come out and fire at the snipers.
As soon as the arrow hit the wood, it took a few seconds to explode, getting rid of those agents and leaving a clear path for them to pass.
They ran towards the door and after planting a mini bomb to open it, went inside to take the hostages who were chained.
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
“Let’s go, let’s go!” Y/N yelled as she led those people towards the safe exit, especially when some S.H.I.E.L.D. agents came to help them. She was about to keep going but Kate stopped, taking her arm and looking at her with concern.
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
“Y/N…” Kate stammered looking at the brunette's belly.
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
Looking down, Y/N belatedly realized that her uniform was soaked in that crimson liquid. Apparently one of the bullets pierced the demon’s stomach in the confrontation and she had not even noticed it, causing blood loss.
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
Oh no.
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
“I’m okay.” Y/N nodded, willing to continue. They couldn't stop, no one was supposed to find out what she was. This was only going to make it worse. “We must keep going.”
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
“No, but you-” Kate tried to stop her but the demon turned to look her in the eyes.
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
“Kate, I’m okay.” Y/N whispered, hoping Kate would believe her and not have to manipulate the girl into forgetting about it. She promised not to. “Look at me, I'm fine. Trust me.”
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
Y/N didn't want to have to manipulate Kate to make her forget, didn't want to do that with whoever she loved. Despite Y/N's thousands of attempts to ignore the new 'Hawkeye', the girl became one of her greatest friends. One who always came to Y/N when she needed advice or help.
Friends, something she couldn't even begin to think about, was what she had now.
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
She did it so many times in her life, manipulating humans to forget, but now the idea of having to get into Kate's mind to alter it was extremely painful.
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
‘Please, don’t make me do it,’ Y/N thought.
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
Sighing a little thoughtful and worried, the brunette decided to nod.
Limping slightly, the demon wasn't going to deny that she was a little bit in pain but it would soon heal. A bullet in the stomach was nothing to her.
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
“I can't believe you did that for me.” Kate mumbled as they walked towards the quinjet, the hostages now safely on the ship. Shots could be heard in the distance but S.H.I.E.L.D won the battle that time.
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
“Me neither.” Y/N joked as she walked over to sit on the ship, noticing how Natasha approached with concern carrying a first aid kit. She didn't expect one of the 'casualties' to be Y/N.
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
“Thank you.” Kate whispered, taking Y/N’s bloody hand as they waited for the quinjet to finally take off.
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
Thoughtful, Wanda remained watching through the window, those enormous trees that surrounded the compound. The night arrived and when the lights went out, the stars made that place charming.
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
She sighed; couldn't get that kiss out of her mind.
The way Y/N grabbed her waist, the way she looked or kissed her. That delicacy and passion at the same time drove Wanda crazy, never thought she could experience something like that.
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
When Pietro was alive, he used to scare away every boy who came near her. They had always been so protective of each other. But now her ‘little brother’ was no longer there, and although she felt joy for experiencing love for the first time, she also felt enormous guilt for being happy without him.
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
“Are you okay?” Clint asked as he walked closer. The Sokovian turned to look at him surprised, it was assumed that the man was spending a few days of necessary 'vacation' with his family.
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
“Yes, I’m just-” She started to say but then stopped, she didn't want to bother with such silly problems. “What are you doing here? I thought you were home with Laura and the kids.”
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
“Oh, Stark made me come to see something. I'm free now.” Clint sat next to Wanda. She didn't say anything, just nodded.
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
“You know you can talk to me. You’re not alone.” Clint always knew how to approach her without making the girl feel pressure or awkward. And Wanda found in him a father figure that she always needed.
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
Hesitantly, she turned to see the blonde. “I think I like someone.”
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
Nodding slowly, Clint momentarily cursed himself for asking about it. He felt like a dad talking to his daughter for the first time about love, but after sighing deeply, he smiled understanding what it was about.
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
“That brooding agent who's always frowning.” Of course the man saw them together many times, Wanda tended to avoid everyone except her.
ㅤㅤ
“Yes.” Wanda cleared her throat, playing with her rings.
ㅤㅤ
“So what do you think?” Clint sighed as he looked up at the sky, the moon shining overhead.
ㅤㅤ
“I don't know, I'm worried…” Wanda murmured barely, afraid that if she said it it would become so real. “I'm terrified of holding on to someone and then losing them.”
ㅤㅤ
ㅤㅤ
The Sokovian sighed, still couldn't fully heal remembering the painful loss of Pietro. How she lost control in Sokovia, and thanks to her friend, Vision, she was safe at that time.
If only she had been with Pietro to stop those bullets.
ㅤㅤ
As soon as the witch arrived at the Compound, she completely avoided socializing with everyone in the place. Locking herself in a bedroom until Y/N came. Changing her life completely.
Y/N wasn't trying to get her out of it, rather sharing the loneliness next to her, slowly mitigating the pain.
ㅤㅤ
“I feel happy when I see her, but I also feel guilty for not being able to mourn my brother as I should.” Finally the brunette released that deep pain in her chest, which had been hurting her so much those days when she walked away from Y/N. “I feel like I'm being selfish.”
ㅤㅤ
Clint sighed, thinking carefully about what he wanted to say so as not to cause more harm. He wanted the girl to allow herself to be happy, she and Pietro were so young when they found them. And he'll always be grateful, Pietro gave his life for him, Clint would always be in debt for it. That's why the archer promised to take care of Wanda until the end of his days.
ㅤㅤ
“First… She looks like a good girl, and she's a good agent. That's good.” Barton tilted his head, enjoying the silence that surrounded them. “Being happy is not an easy thing for people like us, but we learn to survive the pain and accept the good that comes to us when it does. There is no time for 'grieving'. You just do it, and move forward so you don't die. He is your brother and always will be, but think that he wants the best for you, just as you would want the best for him if it were the other way around.”
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
“I will be honest, just be happy, Wanda. Pietro would want that for you, it’s the best way to honor him.” Clint finished by bringing his hand to the girl's shoulder and squeezed it gently. He stood up from her seat, looking at her one more time.
ㅤㅤ
“Thank you, Clint.” The brunette smiled gratefully. “I'd better try to occupy my mind on something else so I'm not so worried.”
ㅤㅤ
“Don't worry... Now I think I have to go or Laura is going to kill me. I can't miss movie night.” He joked as always.
Wanda stood up to walk towards the kitchen, while Clint slowly walked away towards the parking lot.
ㅤㅤ
Y/N sighed, lying on that infirmary bed, cursing herself for not having been faster. Well, she couldn't use her powers if Kate was around.
She looked at the IV connected to her arm and just rolled her eyes, happy to be alone for a moment. Of course all this was unnecessary, she didn't need this type of treatment but couldn't say no. After a quick surgery, Helen Cho managed to remove the bullet from her stomach and the demon was now resting.
ㅤㅤ
“Hello, Y/N. How do you feel?” Helen asked as she walked through the door, holding her stark tablet.
ㅤㅤ
“I’m good. Ready to go.”
ㅤㅤ
The doctor remained silent. From her body expression she seemed nervous, and Y/N noticed it quickly. “What's wrong, Doc?” Y/N asked and narrowed her eyes as she watched the woman hesitate.
ㅤㅤ
“Y/N…” Helen cleared her throat. “I must tell you the truth, as my patient… W-While I was removing the bullet, I noticed how-”
ㅤㅤ
She stopped, not knowing if she should talk to this woman because maybe Y/N didn't know or if she should talk to one of the avengers first. Or maybe Fury.
ㅤㅤ
“I noticed how part of your organs were regenerating themselves.” Finally the doctor was brave enough to say it. “Slowly, but much faster than a human. The bullet pierced part of the intestine, hit an artery. You couldn't possibly be alive.”
ㅤㅤ
Oh.
ㅤㅤ
“That’s it?” Y/N asked as she took off the covers and got out of bed without much trouble. The wound was still there, but it was nothing the demon couldn't endure. “Does anyone else know?”
ㅤㅤ
Helen shook her head, backing away. “N-no.”
ㅤㅤ
“Good.” Y/N smiled slightly then her eyes changed. Her pupils became vertical, fixed on the doctor's eyes. “Helen, you'll look me right in the eye.”
ㅤㅤ
Even though she tried to refuse the control, Helen could do nothing but nod her head and lose herself in that look.
ㅤㅤ
“You're going to forget everything you said and what you saw. The surgery went well, you haven't seen anything strange.” Y/N hissed at her, easily manipulating her. “You'll discharge me right now because it wasn't that bad.”
ㅤㅤ
Lost in the demon’s gaze, Helen just nodded her head slowly in complete obedience.
ㅤㅤ
“You will forget after my eyes change.”
ㅤㅤ
When Y/N finished and her eyes returned to their human form, the demon sat on the bed and the doctor woke up from that daydream, blinking rapidly.
ㅤㅤ
“Sorry, I started to dissociate.” Helen giggled and Y/N just smiled politely. “So, the surgery went well. Nothing strange, you will recover slowly but you were very lucky. ”
ㅤㅤ
At that moment the door opened, Wanda hurriedly and worriedly approached Y/N to hug her.
ㅤㅤ
“Are you OK?” Wanda exclaimed, taking Y/N's face carefully, terror could be seen in those green eyes.
ㅤㅤ
Y/N giggled, taking Wanda's hand. “I’m fine.”
ㅤㅤ
“How is she?” Ignoring those words, the Sokovian turned to see Helen who smiled tenderly at seeing them together like that. Everyone knew they were 'together'.
ㅤㅤ
“I'm fine!”
ㅤㅤ
“I was telling Y/N that I could discharge her, if this woman behaves well. It wasn't that bad.” Dr. Cho walked over to see that everything was fine on her tablet and then nodded. Y/N’s blood pressure was normal, plus nothing was out of the ordinary. “But you will need rest for a few days.”
ㅤㅤ
“I'll make sure she does.” Wanda nodded, still holding Y/N's hand.
ㅤㅤ
She turned to look at the demon, truly grateful that nothing bad happened to her.
As soon as she found out that Y/N was hurt, her life was in total chaos, unable to do anything but wait.
Y/N didn't say anything, she just listened to Wanda talk to the doctor about how careful she should be, and just stayed thoughtful. At first it felt weird, to feel like someone cared about you, but then she felt such great joy that her ears turned red due to blushing.
It was nice, hopeful until all that turned into suffocating guilt. How could Y/N do this to her? The girl was there, doing the best to take care of her and Y/N was just plotting to hurt her as much as possible.
ㅤㅤ
“Y/N?”
ㅤㅤ
Wanda's soft voice made Y/N wake up from that daydream, her gaze lost in that steaming bowl.
The sokovian insisted that she should be resting, so Jules gave up her room so that Y/N could sleep peacefully and she would spend the night playing games with Kate, -or possibly with Natasha-.
ㅤㅤ
“What's going on?” Wanda asked a little worried, sitting next to her in that bed. “Is it cold?”
ㅤㅤ
The sokovian made some soup for both of them, saying it would 'help her regain strength'. Of course the demon just giggled thinking about how cute that was, she didn't need it but wasn't going to refuse so much affection.
ㅤㅤ
“No! It's exquisite, it's perfect.” Y/N smiled, taking her hand and leaving a short kiss. “I’m just thinking.”
ㅤㅤ
“Still thinking about the mission?” Wanda settled next to her, watching as the girl slowly ate the soup. She observed carefully Y/N's injured face, a bruise on her left cheekbone, her eyebrow cut but the worst was that shot in her belly, now covered by a bandage.
ㅤㅤ
“Not so much.” Y/N licked her lips, enjoying the taste. She lived for so many years but never enjoyed food as much as she did now. “I was more worried about Kate, but she did great.”
ㅤㅤ
“Kate said you took that bullet for her.” The Sokovian smiled tenderly, despite her concern and fears, she felt very proud of what 'her girl' did to save a friend.
ㅤㅤ
“She's overreacting.” Y/N rolled her eyes and finished the soup, leaving the bowl on the side of the bed.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
“I was so worried. Terrified.” Wanda whispered, she had to be honest with her. Carefully, the Sokovian tucked a strand of hair behind Y/N's ear. “I don't want anything to happen to you.”
ㅤㅤ
I don't want anything to happen to you.
ㅤㅤ
Possibly one of the nicest things anyone has ever said to her. Y/N felt her heart jump, no one had ever cared so much about her like that. Her life has always been about manipulating people and avoiding emotional ties.
ㅤㅤ
“I’m okay, I swear… Come here.” The demon assured her with a sincere smile, pulling the brunette over so she could lie down next to her. They both settled into that bed, simply holding hands and looking into each other's eyes.
ㅤㅤ
They spent some time that way, sharing some cute looks and kisses. Y/N told her some stuff about the mission and Wanda about what she talked to Clint, opening up about her fears. Even from the suspicions Y/N had about Jules having 'something' with Natasha.
ㅤㅤ
“Would you like to watch something on TV?” Y/N babbled nervously, hoping the brunette wouldn't take it the wrong way or think she was too 'clingy'. After all, it was the first time she liked someone and didn't know how to do this. “Let's watch a tv show, stay with me all day… after all, I have to rest, right?”
ㅤㅤ
Giggling, Wanda rested her head on Y/N's shoulder. “What do you think of sitcoms?”
ㅤㅤ
“I really like them.” Of course the demon was lying, but she wasn't going to deny the opportunity to share time with Wanda.
The Sokovian kissed her softly and then took the remote control to look for something good on some streaming.
She decided to go for Abbott Elementary, a new sitcom that always brought a smile to her face.
ㅤㅤ
After some time sharing laughter and caresses, Wanda sighed when she realized her head was on Y/N's chest. Closeness became normal for both of them, without them realizing it.
Biting her lip, she felt enormous joy hearing Y/N's heart beat for her.
Suddenly Y/N started to laugh, but ended up placing a hand on her belly, feeling this sharp pain.
ㅤㅤ
“Are you okay?” Wanda frowned worriedly.
ㅤㅤ
“Of course, yes, it was just… I laughed. I'm fine, really.” Y/N assured, hoping she would actually believe her.
ㅤㅤ
“I'm kind of scared. Not just before, now...” Looking at the wound, the truth came out of Wanda's lips without even thinking about it.
ㅤㅤ
The demon frowned and turned to look at her curiously. “Why?”
ㅤㅤ
“It sounds really stupid.” The brunette sighed and settled back hugging Y/N, avoiding touching the wound. “I was afraid that something would happen to you, but I'm not going to be hypocritical, I’m scared because I don't want you to play with my heart.”
ㅤㅤ
Y/N took a moment to think about what to say. She didn't want to lie to Wanda, nor could she tell her the truth. So, what should she do? Half-truths were as painful as a dagger.
ㅤㅤ
“That's something I will never do.” The demon decided to speak the truth. Y/N didn't want to do it but knew she would do it without wanting to.
She didn't want to break Wanda's heart, although she existed for that, Wanda achieved something impossible and that is that the demon felt something for someone other than herself. “I really care about you. I really like you.”
ㅤㅤ
Smiling at those sincere words, Wanda felt like she could finally give herself to her, give destiny a chance, could finally trust that everything would be okay.
Just settled on her girl's chest and let herself be happy for once.
ㅤㅤ
Time passed and Y/N's health had miraculously improved. Of course those wounds healed much faster, so she had to pretend to still be recovering.
Natasha allowed her to return to training, and that was a good thing to keep her mind occupied.
A mind that didn't stop working, trying to think how to cope with the situation.
ㅤㅤ
Time was running out and Abaddon demanded to see results, and as if that were not enough, fate played a very big trick on Y/N, making her end up falling in love with Wanda.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
“I've noticed that you're feeling better.” Jules said as she entered the room they shared, noticing that Y/N was putting some dirty clothes in her bag to take them to wash.
She would never have thought that Leviathan, the great devastating demon, would be doing such mundane things like that.
Y/N nodded slowly, thankful that the place was almost empty. She turned around, watching as Jules sat on her bed.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
“How you do it? Isn't it hard for you?” Y/N broke their silence, Jules narrowed her eyes not knowing what she meant. “Pretending.”
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
“Oh.” Jules murmured. She couldn't find a good enough answer for that, just looked down, feeling guilty. Y/N hadn't even thought about what Stolas was feeling right now.
If she was confused, assumed her 'friend' was too. How could she have been so inconsiderate?
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
That thought of hers only made Y/N laugh; she was a demon. A big one, that was something she had to be. Why did something that she was meant to do by nature make her feel so bad?
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
“It's getting so hard, Stolas. I don't know what I'm doing here, but I'm not doing what I should do.” Y/N whispered, moving closer to sit next to Jules, who remained looking at the floor. “You have to leave.”
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
“What?” She looked up, surprised. After a few seconds of silence, the dark-haired woman broke it and said determinedly, like never before. “No. I won't do it.”
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
Frowning, confused but more offended by Stolas's disobedience, Y/N turned to look at her. “I'm not asking you. You must leave soon, Stolas.”
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
“It’s 'Jules' here.” The brown-eyed girl finally looked into her eyes. “What are you talking about?”
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
“If Abaddon finds out about this, she's going to kill you too.” Y/N whispered worried, for the first time, for who she considered a friend. “Won't even think, she will do it.”
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
Jules shook her head. “I’m with you.”
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
“I can't bear your death too!” Finally Y/N exploded, pinching the bridge of her nose to try and calm herself down. Things were getting out of control.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
“I don't know how we got here, I told you we shouldn't get involved!” Y/N angrily shook her head and looked around. “When we arrived, the place could have burned down and I wouldn't even care. I would have danced on the ashes! But now… now everything is different. Everything hurts.”
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
“I know.” Jules murmured wistfully.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
“No, you don’t know.” The demon interrupted quickly. “I care about them-”
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
“YES, I DO!” Jules screamed angrily and got out of bed.
For the first time she exploded, showing her true nature, showing her true eyes. Those eyes changed to ones quite similar to those of a bird of prey, a bright orange color, pupils as dark as night. But as soon as she realized her mistake, those eyes turned brown again.
Frowning, Y/N said nothing. She understood Stolas' pain, because she was feeling that endless number of contradictory feelings too.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
Sighing, the dark-haired girl looked down, ashamed to shout at a superior. “I know it, Y/N, I care too. Everything around me matters to me, and I hate it… but I also like it.”
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
“I gotta be honest with you.” Jules swallowed nervously, maybe this would change everything but she couldn't take it anymore. “Abaddon did send me to spy on you.”
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
Maybe she expected Y/N to be surprised or scream at her or rather to end her life for betrayal, but the superior demon only smiled with a certain tenderness, perhaps a little proud.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
“I know.” Y/N shrugged. She wasn't stupid and she knew the redhead's intentions very well.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
“No, you don't understand! She sent me to spy on you but I never said anything!” Jules approached, horrified by the guilt that was drowning her. “I haven't even been reporting back to her and I think that's making her angry, but if I do, she'll know I'm lying. For a long time she has thought that you will start a rebellion, using Wanda at your convenience.”
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
Fear could be seen reflected in Jules' eyes and that made Y/N feel some worry.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
“She will burn everything to ashes, Leviathan… and I like this place. I like the air I breathe, and I like it when I eat breakfast, and I like it when the birds sing or the crickets make that sound.” The lower rank demon sighed, embarrassed for disappointing Y/N but that was the truth. And she would die accepting it. “I like it when I play video games with Kate, or when Natasha looks at me or asks me if I'm okay. And I don't want to lose it, even if I have been part of their suffering, I like them. ”
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
Y/N didn't know what to say.
It was one thing to feel confused because of where they were, because of living with humans for so long but Jules seemed really affected by it. But it was a very different thing to bet your life on them. The anguish in those eyes was real.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
“And even if you hate it... I've learned these months about friendship, and I will stay by your side until the end. I am loyal to you, even if I die.” The teary eyes of who was Stolas, a powerful demon, made Y/N understand the complex situation they were in.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
Nodding, Y/N placed her hand on Jules' shoulder but the brunette quickly rushed towards her to hug tightly.
Surprised, Y/N just patted her back gently, more confused than ever but trying to provide reassurance to her friend. “We'll find a solution.”
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
Like flowers blooming thanks to spring, the love between Wanda and Y/N also blossomed in a strong and powerful way.
Wanda was no longer that melancholy girl who lived locked up in her room, learned to open herself up to others freely, and Natasha was grateful for that because she found an amazing friend in her.
And she wasn't going to deny that it helped a lot in managing her powers. Y/N was a great help training alongside her, helping the Witch to focus and handle the magic better.
Magic that previously came from pain and chaos was now much less violent and explosive.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
And just as Y/N was a positive development in Wanda's life to work on herself and her powers, Wanda was teaching the demon to let herself be loved little by little.
She noticed that Y/N was not used to affection, but she learned by her side, trying to be romantic and affectionate in her own way.
Seeing how the woman tried to understand, how she smiled genuinely or every time Y/N showed her with words or actions how much she loves her.
Especially that chaotic night where Y/N finally discovered that she was madly in love with Wanda, and there was nothing that could change it. They were in love, and there was no one in the Compound who didn't notice it.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
But of course, Wanda was also worried that she didn't know much about her either. Y/N never talked about her past life or her family, and that caused a little insecurity in the Sokovian.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
But the good thing was that Abaddon seemed to be perfectly swallowing that Wanda was beginning to decline, perhaps in half a year she would be ready.
At least that's what Y/N and Jules told her, feeding her small advances to keep the Knight happy.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
“Will you...?”
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
The grass tickled against her skin, a feeling so strange and at the same time so nice. The warm sun hit her face, such a pleasant and familiar feeling.
Sighing, Y/N opened her eyes meeting that green gaze that only showed immense tenderness.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
Wanda smiled when she saw her; both were in front of the lake enjoying a delicious lunch. Y/N rested her head on her legs while Wanda looked at the lake, so calm and relaxing.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
“What do you mean?” Y/N wrinkled her nose.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
“You know what I mean.”
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
“You know everything about me.” Y/N played dumb.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
“You’re adorable.” Wanda confessed, gently pressing her nose with a finger.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
“I’m not.” Y/N growled, squinting her eyes so as not to look directly at the sun as she sat next to her again. “But thanks for surprising me with this brunch.”
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
Smiling flirtatiously, Wanda ended the distance between them and kissed her lover's lips once more. A tender and short kiss, but full of such strong feelings.
A girl who overcomes her fears of losing, to let herself be loved.
And a demon that didn't know how to love, beginning to be afraid of losing her.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
Just one kiss of those lips was all it took to seal Y/N’s future.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
“Since I met you, you make me feel so much better.” Wanda whispered against her lips, caressing Y/N's face tenderly. “I don't know how you do it.”
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
Moved by those words, Y/N just bit her lower lip trying to quell the enormous urge to smile. “I just like being by your side, the rest is just... because of you.”
ㅤㅤㅤ
Stunned by just looking at that woman, those eyes so attractive and mysterious, those lips so soft, the sokovian kissed Y/N one more time. They stayed like that for an hour, chatting about the Avengers and about how quickly the demon healed from her injury.
Wanda was watching over her, taking care, trying to make everything easier. And even though Y/N felt a little guilty for 'pretending' that she was still recovering, she also took advantage of being spoiled by her girlfriend.
ㅤㅤㅤ
“I’ve to go now… Otherwise Natasha will kill me.” Wanda murmured between kisses, unable to move away from the brunette but still had to.
ㅤㅤㅤ
Smiling numbly, Y/N confessed: “I find it very difficult to let you go.”
ㅤㅤㅤ
“How about… you have a date with me tonight?” Wanda looked down to play with her rings, she looked a little shy but also flirtatious. “Maybe we could be alone... all night. Watching a movie or something.”
ㅤㅤㅤ
Raising a curious eyebrow, Y/N felt her heart skip a beat. Was that a date or something else? Maybe Natasha or Kate could help her with this. “That would be lovely.”
ㅤㅤㅤ
“See you later, detka.” The green eyed girl said first and stole the demon’s heart once again.
ㅤㅤㅤ
“I love it when you call me that.” Y/N said without regret, without fear, without doubt. For the first time she allowed herself to feel, and thanks to Wanda she began to discover what love was.
ㅤㅤㅤ
Now she understood all those songs, now she understood all those tears and poems. Now she perfectly understood Alfonsina Storni, Pablo Neruda and Alejandra Pizarnik.
She was always a bit patient with certain humans, but never thought she could love one.
Nodding with a smile, Wanda stole a short kiss before walking away.
ㅤㅤㅤ
Y/N watched this amazing woman, her girlfriend, walk away to enter the compound.
But that happiness did not last long, especially when that sudden and horrible feeling came to her.
ㅤㅤㅤ
The presence of an evil being became so strong, that her eyes changed to see where such negative energy came from.
In the distance, she could see how a strange old man was watching her among the trees. With a hunched body, his hair was greasy and his smile was macabre, but the worst of all was its nauseating smell.
ㅤㅤㅤ
Bile rushed up her throat, terrified. Y/N quickly got up and walked towards that place, noticing that the man now was walking away playing among the trees. As if it were a game, hide and seek.
ㅤㅤㅤ
“Stolas.” Y/N summoned the demon as she quickly walked. Instantly Jules appeared at her side, walking next to her.
ㅤㅤㅤ
“What is it?” The brunette asked worriedly, if Y/N summoned her just like that it was a big deal. Y/N didn't say anything, just told her to keep quiet.
They both chased that man until he took them to a clearing, far enough away from the others. Even though the demon was slippery, Y/N was faster and caught it, slamming it into one of the trees.
ㅤㅤㅤ
“What are you doing here, Furcas?” Y/N growled, showing fangs. Y/N tightened her grip on the demon's neck, making it stir. “Answer me! Is Abaddon here?”
ㅤㅤㅤ
Even though she wanted to rip his head off, Y/N loosened her grip on his neck so he could answer. Furcas was a very different demon.
Some demons were fallen angels who ended up in an awful place, but Furcas was born from the very perversion and depravation.
ㅤㅤㅤ
He was renowned for being a low-ranking demon, but above all, he was renowned for being vicious.
That demon was the complete opposite of Y/N. Torture wasn't enough for him, he always had a fascination with repulsive perversions. Things that not even Y/N could come to think of.
ㅤㅤㅤ
“She's not here, I-I decided to come and see if everything was okay.” He said with a creepy and squeaky voice. Furcas smiled widely, trying to free himself but it was impossible. “Abaddon thinks she is suffering but I see her very happy there, smiling next to you.”
ㅤㅤㅤ
“Shut up.” Y/N narrowed her eyes.
ㅤㅤㅤ
Stretching out her arm, a sword appeared in her hand. The grip was strong and dark, the blade had a terrifying edge and strange inscriptions on it. Enochian could be read, isomething that the closest thing in English could be 'willbreaker'. “Do you know what this is?”
ㅤㅤㅤ
Of course Furcas knew what it was.
Very few demons had one of those, a fallen angel sword. When Y/N placed the blade on the demon's neck, it shifted restlessly.
ㅤㅤㅤ
“The boss is getting tired of waiting.” He hissed trying to get away from the deadly blade. “And I want to make her happy. A great promotion.”
ㅤㅤㅤ
“He's going to fuck it all up.” Jules whispered behind her, shifting into those demonic eyes. “Put that sword through him now.”
ㅤㅤㅤ
“If I do that, there will be chaos. There will be no going back.” Y/N gulped, fixing her gaze on him.
ㅤㅤㅤ
“There won't be any turning back anyway.”
ㅤㅤㅤ
If she finished off Furcas, Abaddon would become suspicious of his absence but if she didn't, he would run to spill everything to her.
Of course, the redhead wouldn't take kindly to Y/N's relationship with Wanda.
ㅤㅤㅤ
“Abaddon's been eager to see how Maximoff's doing... but you're here playing with the little witch.” Furcas moved his tongue in a really disgusting and disturbing way. So much so that it made Y/N wrinkle her nose in disgust. “You were just doing nasty wicked things to her… I love those games. Can I play with her too? ”
ㅤㅤㅤ
He was the kind of demon you wanted to keep away.
Y/N clenched her jaw and fought the urge to cut off his head all at once. The disgusting way he referred to Wanda simply made her blood boil.
ㅤㅤㅤ
“Shut up, you disgusting creature!” Jules shouted, taking a step forward but Y/N's look made her stop.
ㅤㅤㅤ
But far from stopping, Furcas continued inciting and provoking them, bursting into manic laughter. “Maybe I’ll just gonna hold her down and enjoy it for a few hours, might even live through it. I’ve got some... anatomical incompatibilities that tend to tear up little girls.”
ㅤㅤㅤ
That was all she needed to hear to react.
Y/N felt her hand tremble, her eyes widening due to the anger she felt in those moments. As she was invaded by that violent nature, she ended up exploding, taking a step back but stabbing her sword into the demon's chest with enormous violence and strength.
ㅤㅤㅤ
“No one is going to touch her, I will make sure to destroy anyone who comes near her.” Y/N hissed, baring her fangs.
ㅤㅤㅤ
Furcas opened his mouth to complain but she plunged the sword even deeper, ending up destroying him. Painful, very painful it must be, the demon's eyes turned red due to the pain and then his chest burned.
Y/N watched as Furcas slowly faded into black ashes until he disappeared. It was an action that would have serious consequences and she knew it.
ㅤㅤㅤ
“There's the answer you needed. Get ready because things are going to get very messy from now on.” Y/N sighed deeply. Jules nodded, watching as the sword disappeared again from Y/N's hand.
ㅤㅤㅤ
“Go to Abaddon, tell her she's grieving the loss of… I don't know, make something up.” Y/N placed a hand on her forehead, trying to think. Everything happened so damn fast. “Tell her Wanda’s powers are improving a lot, tell her that you think it will be soon but don't say how long. Always remember to show her how weak I feel lately and how powerful she is becoming, make her feel good.”
ㅤㅤㅤ
Jules nodded quickly, knowing that she would have to give her best performance hoping the Knight wouldn't find out.
Y/N turned on her heels, facing Jules and praying to the universe that she could do it. “Don't let her find out.”
ㅤㅤㅤ
“I'll do it right, trust me.” Sighing and taking courage, the brunette nodded before disappearing from that place in a blink.
ㅤㅤㅤ
Y/N inhaled deeply and closed her eyes as the breeze moved the leaves of the trees, the scent of sulfur completely disappeared and now she could only smell the linden tree and… there was something else.
Frowning, Y/N's senses caught a familiar scent.
Fuck no.
Y/N turned quickly looking towards the place where that scent came from, exposing her eyes without realizing it.
ㅤㅤㅤ
“W- what was that?” Kate stammered coming out from behind one of the trees. She looked quite fearful, her hands were shaking. “W-What's wrong with your eyes?”
ㅤㅤㅤ
Shifting her eyes to her human form, Y/N took a step forward but Kate instantly backed her away. Kate saw it all. “What are you doing here, Kate?”
ㅤㅤㅤ
“I s-saw you guys walking here a-and I thought you were jog-jogging... I- I wanted to catch up with you-” The archer stammered in fear, backing away so much that she ended up crashing into the nearest tree.
The look of terror in her friend's eyes was like a stab to Y/N's heart in those moments. How could they have been so stupid?
They were so focused on Furcas that they hadn't noticed that Kate was after them.
ㅤㅤㅤ
“What happened to your eyes? What are you? Why did that thing turn into ashes?” The brunette repeated desperately trying to search for the truth. “I thought you were my friend.”
ㅤㅤㅤ
Seeing Jules disappear was not something that surprised her so much, but seeing how that creature died at the hands of her 'friends' did.
ㅤㅤㅤ
“Listen to me, Kate.” The demon tried to make the girl calm down, could hear her heart beating desperately. “There are things you don't know... that I will explain to you if you calm down and listen to me. I promise to tell you the whole truth.”
ㅤㅤㅤ
Seeing her retreat only reaffirmed how scared Kate was and that she wasn't going to see reason. “Please, don't run.”
ㅤㅤㅤ
That request only upset the girl even more, especially when Y/N approached again. Frightened, the archer decided to run to save her life.
ㅤㅤㅤ
“Saying that never works.” Y/N sighed defeatedly.
ㅤㅤㅤ
Kate Bishop ran desperately through the trees, following the 'runners' path that were around the compound. Her heart was beating wildly, fearing being caught, fearing for her life.
She couldn't believe it, couldn't believe she saw her friends acting that way, that thing disappear among ashes. What were they? They didn't look good at all.
Those eyes.
ㅤㅤㅤ
Y/N shouted after her trying to stop her but it was no use.
Desperation played tricks on her, making the archer stumble and fall to the ground in such a way that her knee ended up injured.
Hissing in pain, Kate saw some blood but the pain went away when she saw Y/N suddenly appearing in front of her.
ㅤㅤㅤ
Putting her fear aside, Kate stood up ready to fight for her life. She wasn't going to keep running, it seemed pointless anyway.
ㅤㅤㅤ
“Don't be afraid, I just want to talk with you.” Y/N tried to reason with her but Kate threw the first punch, starting a fight she knew she was going to lose.
Kate would never be like that, the demon knew that the archer would always listen to her but right now she was scared.
ㅤㅤㅤ
Y/N dodged every one of her punches, the demon didn't want to attack her but had no choice but to take advantage.
Catching her fist, Y/N forced the girl to turn around grabbing her from behind to stop it. Fear was not only seen in Kate's eyes but also in the demon.
ㅤㅤㅤ
She didn't want to hurt the one she now considered her friend.
She didn't want to manipulate her.
But there was no choice.
ㅤㅤㅤ
“Kate, please, I don't want to do this.” Y/N whimpered trying to hold her down. Tears formed in Y/N's eyes for the first time, as Kate tried to break free.
ㅤㅤㅤ
“Let me go!”
ㅤㅤㅤ
Knowing there was no other option and that Kate didn't seem to understand due to fear, Y/N quickly turned her around to look at those blue eyes.
The demon's eyes changed, that strange and terrifying orange that quickly gained the archer's attention. As if she were being deeply hypnotized.
ㅤㅤㅤ
“Kate, look at me…” Y/N hissed, feeling Kate leave that violent attitude and her body finally let go. Completely stunned, the girl just nodded. “Forget what you saw and go with Yelena. You won't remember any of this.”
ㅤㅤㅤ
The demon felt enormous sadness for having to do this.
For months she avoided doing something like that with them, with the people she was really starting to care, to love, and Kate was one of them.
But she had no choice, they couldn't find out about all this in such an aggressive way. They would think Kate was crazy, maybe Wanda would end up exploding.
ㅤㅤㅤ
“When my eyes change, you will wake up.” Y/N finished, her eyes going back to normal and so did her friend, who blinked rapidly somewhat confused.
ㅤㅤㅤ
“Ugh, my head hurts.” Kate complained, feeling that awful migraine but frowned seeing her scraped knee. “Ouch, what happened to my knee?”
ㅤㅤㅤ
Clearing her throat, the demon approached to help her. She took Kate’s arm so the girl could lean on it. “Me and Jules went for a walk and found you here. You fell and blacked out for a moment.” She lied.
ㅤㅤㅤ
Kate frowned, a bit confused as she didn't remember it, but understandable if she passed out. Possibly migraine was to blame for that.
ㅤㅤㅤ
“Thank you, Y/N. I'm glad you were here.” The archer looked into her eyes and smiled tenderly and sincerely grateful, clinging to her arm as they walked together down the path straight to the Compound. “It's the second time you saved me. You're a good friend.”
ㅤㅤㅤ
Those words broke Y/N's heart, who could only smile sadly and melancholy. How could she have done that to her friend? Who blindly trusted her.
There was no other option. “You are a great friend too, Kate.” She said with a thin voice.
ㅤㅤㅤ
Her gaze rested on the handle of that door for about ten minutes, thinking about how to begin, what she was going to say.
How was she going to do it? Trying to gain courage to do what she had to do, for so long.
Things got out of control, she needed to face the situation.
Y/N cleared her throat and finally knocked on the door, expecting that woman to be gone or to just have to get out of there but when the door finally opened, she sighed.
That was her punishment for all the bad deeds.
ㅤㅤㅤ
Wanda was in front of her, with a happy smile and an excited look. And all Y/N could say, feeling her heart break, was: “We need to talk.”

ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ ㅤchapter two
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ ㅤ
Almost four months have passed since Wanda and Y/N met.
Even if the progress was slow, the Sokovian looked less sad, every time she left her room it was to go see Y/N or spar with Natasha.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ ㅤ
Although they sometimes had dinner with the Avengers, they always had a special moment together. Wednesdays and Fridays were their 'special days just for two'.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ ㅤ
Missions have been difficult but nothing that endangered her friends.
Friends, this is how Wanda was beginning to see the people around her. They were no longer the 'avengers', Nat, Kate, Y/N, Jules, Yelena, Clint, each and every one of them cared about her. And she cared about them too.
Slowly the brunette began to come out of that bubble, feeling less hurt and finally accepting the loss to begin to heal.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ ㅤ
Unlike Wanda, the one who was beginning to have serious trouble was Y/N, whose confusion and guilt was slowly devouring her from the inside.
How could she have a friendship with someone she had to betray sooner or later? How many times had Abaddon say that she shouldn't come near Wanda?
Thousands of times in thousands of years Y/N ran away from this type of relationship and now, as if it was like magic, Wanda made her feel so… comfortable.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ ㅤ
Wanda made her smile genuinely.
Wanda made her try harder, Wanda worried her.
Wanda.
Wanda.
Wanda.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ ㅤ
It was disgusting!
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ ㅤ
Now she not only had to deal with lying to Abaddon, saying that the Sokovian was getting closer and closer to breaking down, but she had to lie to Wanda who was beginning to blindly trust her. Just like the other Avengers, who already trusted her.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ ㅤ
Steve did it, the man was honest and always repeated that Y/N was a great agent. Bucky said the same thing, maybe he was closer to Y/N than Steve. He was trying to make amends for his past too, so he understood how to trust but also how to understand other people's mistakes.
Natasha and Yelena trusted her enough to have her as their right hand on missions.
Kate seemed to be glued all day to Jules, looking like two dumb twins separated at birth.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ ㅤ
Everything was starting to get too personal and that tormented Y/N.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ ㅤ
“Good! But you have to improve more in your defense, okay?” Natasha said as she took Jules hand, helping get up from the mat.The brunette smiled and just nodded quickly and walked over to Y/N, who was looking at her in confusion.
Totally surprised that Natasha was the winner.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
“Did you let her win? There's no way she could beat you that way.” Y/N whispered, looking at Jules who was still blushing and smiling. How was it possible for a demon to be defeated by a simple powerless agent?
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
Jules smiled mischievously and wiped the sweat with a towel. “Dude, I had Natasha Romanoff top on me for a few seconds, that's enough gain. I don’t mind losing.”
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
Y/N's face said it all.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
Maybe it wasn't just her who was getting too involved in all of this. Jules seemed to quickly get used to them, to… being an agent. Just a ‘human being’.
How could Stolas forget where she came from? She was an ancient demon, respected as a Prince of Hell. Demon Prince of the Day.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
Now she let herself be beaten and rubbed by a simple human.
ㅤㅤㅤ ㅤ
The bile rose as high as the anger, perhaps because she was projecting her own frustrations and fears onto Jules. But those thoughts disappeared when the Russian caught their attention again.
ㅤㅤㅤ ㅤ
“Wanda and Y/N.” Nat pointed at them. “Let's see what you have.”
ㅤㅤㅤ ㅤ
Sighing, Y/N watched as Wanda nodded and stood on the mat.
The demon did the same, perhaps a little embarrassed knowing that she was going to defeat Wanda in the blink of an eye.
ㅤㅤㅤ ㅤ
“Come on, go first.” Y/N said perhaps too smug, as if she were doing the girl a favor. The demon threw a punch into the air so slowly that she knew Wanda could easily dodge it, but instead of dodging it, the Sokovian grabbed her arm, forcing Y/N to fall to the ground hard.
ㅤㅤㅤ ㅤ
Y/N stood up from the mat and looked at her in surprise.
She tried to go for her one more time but Wanda made her fall again, not just once but twice more. She wasn't even using her powers.
In the third time, the Sokovian ended up sitting on her belly preventing Y/N from moving in a key aikido technique.
ㅤㅤㅤ ㅤ
“I’m sorry.” Wanda asked worriedly, blushing quite a bit as she brushed a strand of hair out of her face. “Are you okay?”
ㅤㅤㅤ ㅤ
“I-I’m fine. Yeah.” Surprised, agitated and a little blushing too, Y/N nodded trying to catch her breath.
Noticing the position they were in, Wanda quickly stood up.
ㅤㅤㅤ
“That was great, Wanda!” Natasha clapped her hands proudly, quite surprised that the Sokovian finally fought back.
ㅤㅤㅤ
Somewhat embarrassed, Y/N walked away towards Jules who was waiting for her with a bottle of water and a towel.
ㅤㅤㅤ
“You let her win too?” Jules asked curiously but Y/N just threw the towel at her face.
ㅤㅤㅤ
“Shut up!” Y/N growled and walked away from the gym so she could clear her head. Of course Wanda noticed Y/N's annoyance but she didn't say anything. Perhaps she blamed the agent’s damaged ego.
ㅤㅤㅤ
After about two or three hours running around the lake, Y/N decided to come back and take a long shower.
All afternoon trying to think of something else, but Wanda seemed to remain, like a curse, not letting her go.
ㅤㅤㅤ ㅤ
The demon tried to avoid the places where the sokovian usually was, she finally entered her room and leaned against the door, sighing.
ㅤㅤㅤ ㅤ
“Are you OK? I've noticed that you're a little upset.” Jules' voice made her jump.
ㅤㅤㅤ ㅤ
The brunette was in bed, with a towel on her head, watching some kind of animated series and eating some chips.
It was pretty funny, and Y/N would laugh all night if she weren't so upset.
ㅤㅤㅤ ㅤ
Frowning, she asked herself what could be worse? She had to talk to someone to understand what was happening, right? Couldn't tell anyone that she was a demon, feeling confused about a girl.
Talking to Stolas was better than nothing.
ㅤㅤㅤ ㅤ
“Yeah… it’s just… Can we talk?” Y/N licked her lips and sat on the bed, next to Jules.
ㅤㅤㅤ ㅤ
“Sure, about what?” The dark haired girl sat down, leaving the chips aside so Y/N could take some.
ㅤㅤㅤ ㅤ
Taking a moment to think through her words, Y/N fixed her gaze on her friend's brown eyes. “What are you doing? I mean, what are we doing here?”
ㅤㅤㅤ ㅤ
What was she doing in this place? Making friends, eating, doing missions to save people.
She had been making the work of people like the Avengers worse for millennia, and now she was working for them. And she did it gladly.
She was watching Wanda’s back when she hated that girl her entire life, having to 'protect' her, now Y/N was beginning to feel affection for Wanda even though she always avoided it.
Everything was so confusing!
ㅤㅤㅤ ㅤ
Of course that's what she meant, but Jules simply smiled tenderly and pointed to her Stark tablet.
ㅤㅤㅤ ㅤ
“What am I doing? I'm watching this thing… I’m really into this anime called 'Demon Slayer'. It’s so good! Do you wanna watch it with me?”
ㅤㅤㅤ ㅤ
Oh, awfully innocent.
Silence.
A tense silence formed between them.
ㅤㅤㅤ ㅤ
Blinking in complete shock, Y/N stared at the brunette trying to understand if it was a joke.
She was trying to talk about something important and Stolas was just... talking about watching TV.
ㅤㅤㅤ ㅤ
“I don't mean that… Wait, you’re watching this… ‘anime’ about how they hunt demons… And you are a demon?” Y/N narrowed her eyes trying to understand it, and of course trying not to sound sarcastic.
Seeing how Jules nodded excitedly, Y/N just shook her head. “You’re really something…”
ㅤㅤㅤ ㅤ
“Oh! Thank you.” Jules smiled proudly, thinking it was a real compliment.
ㅤㅤㅤ ㅤ
She couldn't even tell the difference between damn sarcasm, Y/N just got even angrier.
ㅤㅤㅤ ㅤ
“Ugh, I can’t talk to you!” Y/N exclaimed in annoyance and stood up to leave the room, leaving her friend confused, but Jules just shrugged.
ㅤㅤㅤ ㅤ
Walking with some haste and enough annoyance to make many agents walk away when they saw her, Y/N arrived at the dining room where she saw Kate Bishop sitting in front of the window enjoying a pizza with her dog, Lucky.
ㅤㅤㅤ ㅤ
“Bishop!” Y/N exclaimed loudly, pointing at her. “I have to talk to you!”
ㅤㅤㅤ ㅤ
Sitting in front of Kate, the demon surprised the archer who opened her eyes wide, stammering. “Umh, I thought you hated me but okay!”
ㅤㅤㅤ ㅤ
“We need to talk.” Y/N sighed. “You look like an irresponsible child who takes risks and puts yourself in danger, but trustworthy enough to hear what I have to say.”
ㅤㅤㅤ ㅤ
“Wow… Okay! Sharp but sincere, tell me what you want to talk about.” Kate looked at her curiously, inviting her to have a slice of pizza but Y/N shook her head.
ㅤㅤㅤ ㅤ
Lucky watched the demon for a long time, as if he knew she was up to no good, but never attacked or growled at her.
Maybe because she hadn't done anything wrong yet, but even so, he remained alert.
ㅤㅤㅤ ㅤ
“I've been feeling... strange.” Y/N started a little awkwardly, she cleared her throat without knowing how to express herself very well.
ㅤㅤㅤ ㅤ
“Like what…?” The archer narrowed her eyes, Lucky decided to go to sleep on the couch, leaving them alone.
ㅤㅤㅤ ㅤ
“About Wanda…” Y/N gulped, a little nervously. “I've been feeling different when I’m with her. I wanted to talk to Jules about it but she's not... she's not THE person... she's not even a person most of the time.” She complained, pinching the bridge of her nose.
ㅤㅤㅤ ㅤ
“Wanda? Oh!” Kate's eyes widened, realizing what it was all about. “About love, well I'm not an expert...”
ㅤㅤㅤ ㅤ
“It's not about love, of course not!” The demon cut her off, shaking her head. How could it be about love? Maybe this girl perhaps wasn't as insightful as she seemed. Maybe she should have talked to Barnes.
ㅤㅤㅤ ㅤ
“What do you feel specifically?” The brunette asked as she drank some soda, noting that it was the first time she had seen Y/N so nervous and worried. The woman always seemed so tough and badass. “Without you looking at me as if you wanted to kill me with your gaze.”
ㅤㅤㅤ ㅤ
Frowning, Y/N thought about getting up and leaving but little by little that hard and serious expression began to relax. Kate was just trying to help her.
ㅤㅤㅤ ㅤ
“Today, when we spar together, she made me fall… And at first I felt so angry. Ugh!” She clenched her jaw, couldn't believe it. Just remembering it made her blood boil. “I mean, no one has ever brought me down in my life. And it is a very long life, Kate!”
ㅤㅤㅤ ㅤ
She stood up from her seat, slamming the table and making Kate jump.
The archer didn't say anything, just watched as Y/N paced back and forth like a caged beast.
ㅤㅤㅤ ㅤ
“But she managed to make me stumble and fall easily, that made me feel so upset.” Y/N shook her head. “But then that went away fast and I felt so proud… then I felt worried. So many feelings! How can you get them all at once?!”
ㅤㅤㅤ ㅤ
She stared out the glass window. The colors in the sky were fascinating and disturbing.
ㅤㅤㅤ ㅤ
“I could have hurt her.” Y/N murmured worriedly. She finally blurted out what was really worrying her.
ㅤㅤㅤ ㅤ
Kate sighed. “But you didn’t.”
ㅤㅤㅤ ㅤ
“But I could.” Suddenly Y/N turned to see Kate, who was looking at her with some tenderness. Why was the archer looking at her with that tender look?
ㅤㅤㅤ ㅤ
“She’s enhanced.” Kate tried to calm her down and make her understand, not realizing there was something deeper going on.
ㅤㅤㅤ ㅤ
“And I am-…” Y/N was going to keep going but stopped.
A demon.
ㅤㅤㅤ ㅤ
She was a demon, she was much more powerful, but Kate couldn't know that. How could Y/N be so stupid to almost let it out? “A simple agent, I know.”
ㅤㅤㅤ ㅤ
Y/N looked down.
ㅤㅤㅤ ㅤ
“I didn't mean that.” Kate quickly apologized, embarrassed. She didn't want to break the progress she finally had with Y/N.
ㅤㅤㅤ
“I know.” Y/N she sighed deeply, sitting back down. “But I worry… and that’s the deal, I never worry about anyone. She's my friend, but I don't feel like... a friend.”
ㅤㅤㅤ
Kate was about to say something and paused for a few seconds, wondering if it was the right thing to say, but Y/N sought her out because of her sincerity, she had to honor that.
ㅤㅤㅤ
“Maybe you're falling in love... What's wrong with that?” The archer shrugged, noticing how Y/N opened her eyes so wide that she thought they would pop out of their place.
ㅤㅤㅤ
“You don't get it, can’t be ‘love’. That's not possible!” The demon exclaimed in fear. That would be the worst thing that could happen to her.
ㅤㅤㅤ
“Why not?” Kate looked at her confused. “It's not bad to feel love for someone. Are you homophobic or something?”
ㅤㅤㅤ
Those words made Y/N laugh so bad and so real that Kate was even more surprised. How could she be homophobic? She was a demon! She had always been with women, she had always preferred them but not to love.
ㅤㅤㅤ
“Of course not!” Y/N quickly defended herself. “I love women, I just…”
ㅤㅤㅤ
Y/N swallowed, noticing how Kate was waiting to hear more.
ㅤㅤㅤ
“I just… can’t.” Y/N mumbled. “I didn't think I could be capable. That's going against everything I know, It's dangerous… you don't understand. It's not like you and Yelena. I wasn't made for this.”
ㅤㅤㅤ
After that, both of them were silent for a moment.
Kate considered it necessary because Y/N seemed quite shocked at that news.
ㅤㅤㅤ
“What am I going to do now?” Y/N whispered to herself. “If I am in love with her…”
ㅤㅤㅤ
“You should tell her.” Kate pursed her lips, but when Y/N stood up from her seat she did the same. “Thank you for trusting me with this. I didn't think you liked me…”
ㅤㅤㅤ
“I do.” Y/N was trying to deal with everything at once. She sighed deeply, trying to focus on Kate. “I'm not used to being grateful or being close to people.”
ㅤㅤㅤ
‘You're a good person and I'm not, not even a person. I just wanted to use you to go unnoticed.’ She thought.
ㅤㅤㅤ
Y/N gulped, after an awkward silence she was brave enough to break it. “Thank you, Kate.”
ㅤㅤㅤ
Y/N extended her hand to shake it with the archer's. Surprised, Kate nodded and shook her hand.
ㅤㅤㅤ
“Would you like to jog with us? Tomorrow. Jules and I we used to do it, then we'll go get some lunch, maybe pizza.”
ㅤㅤㅤ
Kate giggled, but was grateful for the invitation. “Is that healthy?”
ㅤㅤㅤ
“Does it matter?” Finally Y/N smiled and shrugged, for the first time she was genuine with her.
ㅤㅤㅤ
“Yeah, I- I'd like to.” Feeling endless emotions, Kate recognized that she felt happy and excited to share something with 'new friends' like Y/N and Jules. She didn't know anyone but her girlfriend Yelena in that place, and Clint was always with his family. It was normal for the archer to feel alone.
ㅤㅤㅤ
“Good. I’ll see you tomorrow.” Y/N nodded and turned to leave, now she needed some time to think about everything.
ㅤㅤㅤ
Once she got far enough away, her face changed from a happy one to a worried one.
ㅤㅤㅤ
But even though Kate advised her to tell Wanda about those feelings, Y/N decided it was best to walk away.
Her job was to ‘watch’ her and nothing more, she didn't have to interfere in the sokovian’s life and change everything. Why didn't she listen to Abaddon?
ㅤㅤㅤ
The demon complained over and over again, especially when she felt that strange anguished feeling in her chest when she missed Wanda. Thinking about her or avoiding her was driving Y/N crazy. Is this how humans felt?
ㅤㅤㅤ
Y/N looked at her watch and then quickened the pace. Didn't have much time if she wanted to get to the gym before Wanda did, maybe she could spar with Jules or Kate before the Sokovian arrived.
But when she turned into the hallway, ended up colliding with a brunette who seemed to be waiting for her.
ㅤㅤㅤ
‘Fuck’ Y/N thought.
ㅤㅤㅤ
Well, she knew that was going to happen at some point, but didn't expect it to be so soon. The woman was evading Wanda for so many days and she was lucky, but she wasn't going to be able to evade her forever.
Y/N stopped attending their dinners, besides not sparring at the same time. Even signed up for more missions just to not see her but she was just there.
ㅤㅤㅤ
“Hey.” Wanda whispered, looking up. She started playing with her rings a little nervously.
ㅤㅤ
“Hey.” Y/N murmured, scratching her neck, thinking of some quick excuse to run away.
ㅤㅤ
“Are you going to spar?” Wanda asked just to make some small talk, since the moment seemed pretty awkward. Y/N was going to answer but Wanda stopped her: “I haven't seen you for some nights. I feel like you're avoiding me.”
ㅤㅤ
‘Tell her the truth, don't gaslight her.’
ㅤㅤ
“Did I do something to upset you, Y/N?” The sokovian gulped at Y/N's guilty silence. “Have I done something wrong?”
ㅤㅤ
But Y/N stayed quiet, not knowing what to say or do.
ㅤㅤ
‘Say something, say it’s not true!’ Y/N thought.
ㅤㅤ
“No, Wanda, of course not.” Her lips began to move but she couldn't say anything coherent. She had never felt so uncomfortable and sad. “It’s just…”
ㅤㅤ
‘It's just that I'm made to make you suffer.’ She thought again.
ㅤㅤ
Smiling sadly, Wanda just looked down. “I’m boring, right?”
ㅤㅤ
‘Oh, don't be such an idiot to make her believe that!’
ㅤㅤ
“What? No! Of course not!” Y/N exclaimed quickly, begging for Wanda to believe her, to look up and see her eyes to notice that she was telling the truth. “It's not your fault, Wands, it's actually my fault…”
ㅤㅤ
Without understanding what she meant, Wanda tilted her head.
Y/N just sighed and took Wanda’s hand to lead her to a more intimate place, leaving together to the nearest terrace.
ㅤㅤ
“I just haven't been feeling well lately.” Y/N licked her lips nervously, wondering if it was really a good time to tell the truth.
ㅤㅤ
“What's going on? What is it? I’m worried.” Wanda put her sadness aside to feel worried, even taking a step forward to look into Y/N’s eyes.
ㅤㅤ
“I don't want to make things worse.” Y/N pursed her lips, not knowing how to begin.
ㅤㅤ
‘Too late, you already have since you got involved with her.’
ㅤㅤ
“Please, maybe I can help you.” Wanda tried, taking her hand.
ㅤㅤ
That adorable and simple gesture just made Y/N open her eyes big in surprise. Feeling the warmth of Wanda's fingers intertwined with hers, it was so new, overwhelming and welcoming.
A gesture so gentle, she could have sworn her eyes watered.
ㅤㅤ
“I’ve been feeling a little different around you.” The demon finally opened up, leaving her ‘head’ aside and speaking from 'the heart'. One that she never had, one that had been dry for so long but apparently was beginning to beat.
ㅤㅤ
Wanda frowned, still not understanding.
ㅤㅤ
“Wanda… I think… I like you, a little. I do… like you.” Y/N whispered. Despite her babbling, it felt so much better to be able to let go. “And that is causing this big confusion inside me.”
ㅤㅤ
The demon looked for some answer in Wanda's eyes, trying to see if she was angry, or if maybe if she reciprocated those feelings.
Maybe expecting the witch to smile and say something cute but Wanda just opened those huge eyes, surprised.
ㅤㅤ
“Oh.” That was all that left Wanda’s lips. Y/N wasn't ready to hear what was next.
ㅤㅤ
“I thought we were just friends.” Wanda finished not only those words, but also the demon's dry heart.
ㅤㅤ
Quiet and sorrowful, Y/N didn't know how to proceed. Her head was beginning to scream so loud; escape, scream at her, kill her, run away, say everything is fine.
ㅤㅤ
“You didn't… You don't feel the same.” Y/N frowned at her in confusion, feeling like a complete idiot. “I thought that-”
ㅤㅤ
Wanda's look so embarrassed only caused Y/N's heart to be engulfed by a huge invisible awful beast.
ㅤㅤ
She didn't say anything, just looked down at those rings.
Y/N could hear her heart racing, possibly because of the shame the witch felt.
ㅤㅤ
How could she have confused everything? Fucking Kate! She said that-
ㅤㅤ
No, she didn't say anything. It was all coming from Y/N's head.
It was all Y/N’s own fault, and it weighed heavily on her chest. Anguish was beginning to close her throat, never felt so stupid.
ㅤㅤ
The demon broke something so important to both of them, without even meaning to. Anyway, she was meant to hurt her, right?
ㅤㅤ
“Okay. This is awkward.” Y/N laughed wryly, shaking her head. She took a few steps back, not even able to see Wanda.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
Wanda, who seemed totally shocked and surprised. Who didn't know how to react to such a confession, much less from someone she considered a friend. Y/N dared to break their bond, one that was not easy to build.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
“I-I'm sorry, I-. I have to go.” Wanda murmured nervously and turned to leave quickly, without even hearing the last words of who she considered her friend.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
“Yeah, sure.”
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
The demon stood there, simply staring into nothingness. So many mixed feelings, that she didn't even know which one to follow.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
Get angry.
Go get her.
Burn it all down.
Don’t let her go.
Tell her you care.
Kill them all.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
Any other time, you would have done it, you would have killed everyone. But Y/N just sighed and decided to go back to her room.
ㅤㅤ
“So, how is she doing?”
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
Abaddon's voice brought Y/N back to her senses.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
They both walked through the red and warm soil of that place, a beautiful as well as dangerous place. Tanzania was an amazing, beautiful, wild place.
Sometimes it was nice to have those powers, to be able to appear wherever you want. Only the fallen could use them as they pleased, of course. Wings weren't for everyone.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
Abaddon invited Y/N to follow her, she was wearing the outfit of a Serengeti National Park worker, possibly stolen from what must now be a corpse.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
“Our lucky girl. I've seen some videos on the internet about her, she’s powerful, not as much as I expected but that's good.” The redhead sighed as she searched for something in the grass.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
“She’s okay.” Y/N sighed watching the sunset in that reserve, she had never seen a sunset like that. This world kept surprising her in incredible ways. “I mean, she's grieving her loss but nothing-”
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
The sound of birds flapping their wings made Y/N blink, now showing her demon eyes.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
“...that indicates it's time.” Abaddon cut her off, turning to look at her. Her eyes stopped being blue and turned an angry red, dangerous and deadly. Like those of the black mamba that watched them furiously from a rock. “I've heard you say it before, I'm tired of that excuse. You have to make sure she suffers!”
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
Y/N swallowed.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
As the sun set, the warmth of the place faded and the cold began to be felt, which neither of them was affected by.
The crickets stopped, as if they knew a more dangerous predator was nearby.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
“Why are we here?” Y/N tried to avoid that talk, looking around.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
“Every twenty-three years I like to visit this place. I like to spill some blood.” Abaddon smiled in a creepy way, walking straight towards the Black Mamba who looked furious. “A little chat with a warlord, a little of this, a little of that… I'm not the Horseman of War but I like to make trouble.”
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
The snake positioned itself ready to attack but the demon was faster, grabbing its neck tightly. The black mamba opened her mouth, trying to free itself but it was impossible. It was next to another more powerful predator, a much more cruel and vengeful one.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
“But I also like to make certain friends like this one, then I visit some people… we play a bit. I love wicked games.” She hissed naughtily.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
Y/N pursed her lips when she heard that.
She knew that Abbadon was much more perverse and evil, possibly what she would do with that snake was much darker than she imagined.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
“So, Leviathan, I need you to do your job and MAKE HER SUFFER! Kill her best friend, kill her fucking dog, get rid of everything Maximoff loves!” Abaddon screamed and squeezed the snake so hard that Y/N was afraid she would kill it.
But Y/N knew that the redhead was doing it on purpose. Y/N was a snake, she knew how much she respected them. It was a clear offense and if ‘Leviathan’ reacted, everything would get worse.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
Maybe another demon would ‘take care’ of Wanda, and make even more chaos.
Through clenched teeth, the higher demon hissed: “I want to see her desolate and collapsed!”
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
Don’t say anything.
Don't react.
Don't think about the snake.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
“I will.” barely said with a thin voice.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
“Good girl!” Abaddon smiled and finally released the snake, letting it go. That black mamba escaped, sliding quickly through the grass. “The girl is a caterpillar under our shoes, right now of course, but when she finally hatches… she will break free like a butterfly. A very powerful, hurt and naive one… one that we can manipulate.”
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
Y/N nodded, like a good soldier. “And that's when our victory will be guaranteed.”
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
Pleased to see that Y/N understood, the redhead tilted her head to play with her a little.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
“We never told you but we found the book thanks to you, so many years ago. Thanks to you we found the Darkhold.” Abaddon narrowed her eyes. “It was buried in the darkest depths of this Earth, much deeper than the Mariana Trench. And you brought us that information thirty years ago...”
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
Oh no.
It couldn't be true. That couldn't mean anything more than… everything that would happen from now on was her fault, everything they decided to do with Wanda… It was thanks to her.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
“Without you... she couldn't have that destiny. You‘re her savior and her executioner.” Abaddon finished clicking her tongue.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
The best Y/N could do was smile, trying to look proud but terror could be seen in her eyes even though she didn't want to. She had to think of something, she had to pick a side.
Well, Wanda rejected her. Maybe thinking about it the decision could be easier, thinking about the anger she felt and the frustration of being rejected as a simple vermin.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
“Be sure to let me know if there are any changes. Chton is very pleased with your work.” She slowly approached Y/N, watching her a bit flirtatiously but only squeezed her cheek, as if she were a wild child.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
She was just humiliating the snake, once again.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
“Can I really know what you need her for?” Y/N asked in a low voice, hoping the redhead wouldn't take her question the wrong way. Abaddon was too explosive, she could take a simple question the wrong way.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
The stinging silence and sharp gaze from the knight of Hell made Y/N shift uncomfortably. Seconds in which the demon thought it could end badly, until Abaddon spoke.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
“The Scarlet Witch will be in charge of destroying all our enemies, unleashing her chaos magic... finally freeing Chton and tying this entire world and every reality to her whim. Not just one world, but all of them will be ours.” The demon's eyes lit up just thinking about it. A glorious plan for their entire species that would eventually dominate not just one but all realities.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
Although a genuine smile was born on Y/N's lips just thinking about it, she couldn't deny that her instincts were still there, she was a chaos demon and always would be.
But slowly that smile faded as she thought about how awful that could be for humans. Or rather, for those she considered worthy of saving.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
Suddenly in her mind came the image of Natasha, Kate, Yelena and everyone she considered 'good'.
Where would they go? What would happen to them?
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
Gulping, Y/N felt guilty.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
“Do you think they will allow it?” She looked up for a moment, referring to the tenth realm. Angels. “They are warriors trained to stop that, they will come for her first if they find out. They wouldn't let anything happen to humans, now they have help from other realms, like Asgard. They act stupid with big threats but this is… much bigger.”
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
“I wouldn't worry about that.” Abaddon arched an eyebrow. “We have someone inside, they're busy with something else. They are waiting for the moment, it is inevitable. It’s them or us, and the truth is that they don't care in the least about all these monkeys. Gods would sacrifice this world without hesitation to save others.”
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
Both began to walk together through the grass, Y/N couldn't believe what she heard. Everything was ready and at the same time no one had any idea what was happening around them.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
“So this Earth-” Y/N sighed, looking around, thinking how beautiful and dangerous that night was and could disappear someday.
The animals that sought refuge in the night, and the macabre and charming laughter of the hyenas.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
“Will be doomed, like the rest.” The red eyed demon nodded. “You see, all these heroes like 'avengers vs villains' efforts… it's just halftime at the Superbowl. They're just wasting their time, they're all doomed from the moment the Earth started spinning around.”
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
The redhead looked at a bonfire in the distance, happy to finally get to where she needed to be.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
“I see.” Y/N murmured, stopping and watching as Abaddon kept walking.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
“You are one of the few who knows.” Abaddon turned to look at her, this time it wasn't just a threat. “Don't let him down.”
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
The demon didn't say anything other than nod her head, watching as the redhead walked away slowly.
A few minutes later, Y/N heard in the distance screams of pain and terror as well as gunshots. Several people were screaming in horror, some begging for mercy and others simply dying with honor.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
Sighing, Y/N disappeared from that place to appear on the outskirts of the Compound.
Perhaps the best thing that could have happened to her is that Wanda walked away from her, but it had to be so painful?
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
“What? You like Wanda?!” Surprised, Jules was still at her side carrying some bags as they walked towards the hangar. The mission before them did not seem to be easy at all, but there was nothing better than a good deadly mission to forget about everything. “You told her that you liked her and she did what?!”
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
Smacking Jules on the back of the head, Y/N glared at her in a deadly way to make her shut up. Although it was understandable, the brunette couldn't even begin to comprehend the magnitude of it all.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
“Yes. Don't say anything, I have enough with myself.” Y/N muttered, quite annoyed, could see on her face that she hadn't rested well, especially after everything Abaddon said.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
Now she was forced to make Wanda suffer, even if it hurt her deeply.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
“I'm going to kill the bitch.” Jules grunted, dropping the bags into the quinjet.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
“You can’t do that.” Y/N wrinkled her nose.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
“I can't do that but I would if it made you feel better.” The brunette demon pouted a little and then shrugged.
Y/N smiled slightly, felt some tenderness that Stolas tried to 'defend' her. She left her bag on the quinjet, heading back out of the plane.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
“And then Abaddon asked you to hurt her deeply.” She sighed, noticing the worry on Y/N's face. “Well, at least your job will be less difficult now.”
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
Y/N snorted. “You think?”
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
Jules sighed, despite her evil nature, she had to be honest with her. “No, I think it will be worse, and I don't even know why.”
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
None of them could say anything more than accept the harsh reality, they were made for that. It was their mission, although they began to doubt in silence.
But a voice out of nowhere made them both turn around quickly, surprised to see that person in front of them.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
“Hi.” Wanda said with a small awkward smile as she played with her fingers.
For days Wanda had been completely avoiding Y/N and now she was just there. “Can we talk?”
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
“Hey.” Y/N frowned so confused.
Those big green eyes left her speechless, Wanda looked like an adorable puppy.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
“Oh! yeah! I remembered that I have to find Kate for... something… can’t remember what… bye!” Smiling widely, Jules quickly left, leaving them alone.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
The awkward silence and nervous glances reigned for a few seconds until one of the two was brave enough to end it.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
“I'm sorry.” Y/N began, sighing heavily.
The demon just looked around, noticing that Nat was approaching the Quinjet but after seeing them, she decided to quickly walk away, meeting Jules and taking her hand to leave the place.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
Y/N thought of a million things to say, telling her that she didn't even want to see her anymore, thought of telling Wanda that she had never cared about her anyway.
But she decided to speak with what she least expected. Her old, inexperienced heart.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
“I shouldn't have gone further, I shouldn't have broken our friendship. I know what it meant to you, because it meant something important to me too.” Swallowing, Y/N felt an enormous weight leave her body and that was being able to tell the truth. Felt incredibly liberating.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
“To be honest? I don't know what I'm doing.” They both began to walk together, away from the hangar. The smell of the freshly cut grass and the beautiful sunset on the horizon was enchanting. The sun and the moon so near and so far; like that little bit of light sinking into the darkness of the night. “I've never felt like this.”
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
Wanda didn't say anything, just watched her thoughtfully, allowing Y/N to express herself first.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
“I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable, Wanda, it's the first time it happened to me.”
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
That made the sokovian frown curiously, looking at her gaze to see the truth.
Oh, she wished she could read Y/N’s mind right now but she was also grateful she couldn't.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
“Have you never been attracted to anyone?” The brunette asked, that thick sokovian accent showing through, making it more charming. Making the demon fall in love a little more.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
“No.” Y/N answered honestly, one of the few times in her life admitting something so important. Something impossible. “Never.”
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
Unable to believe it, a small smile tried to form at the corner of those lips. “Why me?”
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
“I wish I knew that.” Smiling tenderly, Y/N put her hands in the pockets of the jacket. “I mean, I know why. I just don't know... why it's my first time, I know very well why it's you... You’re the one.”
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
Her heart beat so hard in that confusion, was she doing the right thing? After everything Abaddon said, wasn't it better to let her go?
She couldn't even think anymore after Wanda broke the distance between them and cupped Y/N’s face, ending every doubt, finally kissing those lips that generated so much expectation.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
Enjoying those soft lips, Y/N closed her eyes not believing what she was experiencing.
As if her brain sent a blow to her entire body, her arms quickly wrapped around Wanda’s waist to pull her against her body.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
Their first kiss, their first kiss leaving the pain behind and experiencing love for the first time.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
After a few seconds and the need for air, they both slowly separated without still being able to believe it.
Y/N couldn't help but smile widely especially when she saw Wanda all blushing and smiling. Just two silly giggling girls.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
“I like you too.” Wanda said after gaining some courage, what did it matter? She had to finally leave the pain and fear behind. All those doubts in her head disappeared when she saw Y/N's sincere look.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
“I'm sorry I ran away like that, it's just…” The brunette sighed, trying to be honest with her and finally explain. “Everything is so hard after losing Pietro. I couldn't afford any more suffering.”
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
Oh darling, if you only knew.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
Y/N gulped at those words.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
“I don't want to lose anyone else. Everyone around me… dies.” The Sokovian looked down, feeling deep sadness as she realized that tragedy always surrounded her life like a wild animal. In some way or another, she never managed to be happy until she arrived at the Compound. “It terrified me to think that if we had a stronger bond, I could lose you. I’m cursed.”
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
“You won't.” Y/N said quickly, reaching out to cradle Wanda's face in her hands and gently caress her cheek. Her gaze fixed on those green eyes, letting herself be carried away by passion. “I'll do everything I can to make sure you don't.”
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
The demon knew that those words were going to cost her so much, that was a very difficult and impossible promise to keep but the feeling was much deeper. She didn't know what was possessing her at that moment, something she couldn't control.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
With a hopeful look and smile, the witch felt her heart skip a beat at that oath. She was ready to let herself go with whatever they had.
Whether momentary passion or real love, she didn't care. She just wanted to live again.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
“Maybe we could…” Wanda bit her bottom lip, looking up at her. The height difference between the two was charming. “I don't know… try?”
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
Y/N's lips moved, about to give her an answer to that but Natasha's voice interrupted them as she approached carrying some bags. Next to her was Jules, smiling knowingly.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
“It's time to goooo! ” Nat exclaimed, walking over to the Quinjet. “Move, lovebirds!”
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
Sighing, Y/N cursed the bad timing they were in right now.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
“We'll talk when I get back, okay? Can you wait for me?” Y/N turned her gaze to Wanda, seemed a little sad to see the demon leave, but knew perfectly well that it was necessary. The Sokovian nodded, eagerly waiting for the moment to see her again.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
“Sure.” Wanda looked down shily, watching as Jules watched them smiling like a fangirl, some agents passed by her. Overcoming her fear, she dared to take Y/N's hand and intertwine their fingers for a few seconds. “Take care, Y/N.”
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
Biting her lip for a moment, Y/N took the opportunity to get lost in those beautiful eyes before leaning down to kiss Wanda's lips once more.
This time it was a short and more chaste kiss, but definitely hopeful.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
“See you later, Wands.” The 'agent' whispered before leaning down to pick up her bag and walk towards the Quinjet while being watched by the witch, who prayed with all her heart that the time to see each other again would be soon.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
She entered the plane and found her seat next to Jules, who pursed her lips tightly to keep from smiling, especially when Y/N looked at her with a deadly 'if you say anything I'll kill you' look.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
About twenty seconds passed until the brunette couldn't take it anymore. She quickly turned to look at Y/N, who closed her eyes and sighed knowing what was coming.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
“She kissed you.” Jules wiggled her eyebrows excitedly. “Your heart is pounding even now, I can feel hers from a distance. She's into you!”
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
Turning to look at her, Y/N didn't say anything. Despite the seriousness of her face, she just leaned back on her seat. “It felt like I was back in heaven again.”
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
Surprised, Jules opened her eyes wide. She couldn't believe what she heard. “What?”
She touched her lips, caressing it gently as if she wanted to feel that feeling again. “It felt like I was in heaven again, remember? When I was happy there.”
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
Unable to believe what she was saying or feeling, Y/N looked at Jules with a confidence never seen before in her gaze. “We need to think about what to do. There's no going back.”
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
“We'll see what to do.” Nodding quickly, Jules leaned back in her seat as well. Staying somewhat thoughtful.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
“I’m doomed.” But Y/N's gaze was lost in a fixed point on that plane, while the rest of the agents took their places, she couldn't stop thinking about those green eyes that now gave life to her heart.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
And then she smiled.

Florence + The Machine - Mermaids
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ ㅤchapter one
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ ㅤ
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
Six thousand years ago, after the beginning, there was a malevolent and ancient demon that plagued the face of the earth for a long time.
Chthon, one of the most powerful deities among the demons as he was one of the firsts to exist, managed to maintain control until he was banished.
Unwilling to give up power, created a castle on top of Wundagore Mountain, carving his dark magic into the walls with evil spells prophesying the existence of a sorceress. The most powerful being, the Scarlet Witch, who would end up freeing him from his eternal exile.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ ㅤ
Chton was gone, but his followers remained over time, as did his sacred book: ‘The Darkhold’.
Demons roamed the earth, but not as everyone thought.
ㅤㅤ ㅤ
1999
NOVI GRAD
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
The sound of gunshots echoed, stinging and destructive; soldiers on one side and rebels on the other shooting and falling to the ground. The fire in the streets, terror had an exquisite scent for beings like her.
Civilians hid to avoid being caught in the firefights, trying to live as normal a life as possible in what they believed in was hell.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
Suddenly, the gunshots stopped, exposing the sound of those combat boots against the dusty ground.
That woman came out of that dark alley, there was no fear in those deep eyes.
Her hair and clothes were immaculate, there were no traces of gunpowder on that leather jacket, nor dust on her perfect hair.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
Sighing, Y/N walked towards that street but in matter of seconds she appeared on the terrace of a building. Seemed that they would soon fall apart, the dim lights just showed the power would go out soon.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
Oh, she hated those places and at the same time she loved them. Chaos always had an exquisite flavor.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
But Y/N just smiled, her eyes changing color to a yellowish tone. Her pupils were vertical, like those of a cat or a snake.Those were her true eyes. She was a demon, of course, and not a very young one.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
“What a turmoil, huh?”
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
“The US Air Force will launch the bombing soon…” someone said behind her, watching as the planes hovered over the city. A sensual and deep female voice.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
A red-haired woman stood next to her, watching that beautiful city be devoured by fire and violence. It was scary, but for them, it was perfect. Chaos was something they needed, they fed on it. It was no coincidence that she and a demon like Abaddon were there.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
Abaddon was a demon of a much higher rank, more dangerous, and much more loyal to Chton, for a reason she was his second.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
“Why have you summoned me here? Lots of work?” Y/N tilted her head, watching the redhead. She looked like a sharp-tongued woman. “I mean, this place looks really bad and it’s kinda my specialty, but I'm a little busy with a war between-.”
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
“Leviathan.” Abaddon said her name, making Y/N stop. That was her real name, not Y/N. Although Y/N was the one she chose to feel part of the… world.Names had power and Y/N knew that if Abaddon said it, she had power over her.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
“She’s here.” The voice and the way Abaddon said it made her blood run cold.
Y/N frowned at her, that could only mean one thing and it was impossible. Millennia waiting for that moment, so much so that now it seems so distant and impossible.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
“Who?” She played that game, naivety, and she was so good at it. A nearby explosion caused the ground to shake, but neither of them flinched.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
“Who Chton has been waiting so long for.” Abaddon smiled proudly, finally happy to say those words.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
“The Scarlet Witch.” Y/N gasped, couldn't believe that was true. “But…”
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
Although that was good news for any demon from the depths of hell, Y/N didn't seem to think the same.
That meant the end of a world she became accustomed to, the end of comforts, the end of hedonism. Goodbye New York Pizza, goodbye to the sunsets in the Maldives, goodbye to good movies and good music.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
Despite that, Y/N tried to fake her best mischievous smile. “Are you sure?”
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
“Yes… Thanks to you, we found the place where the Darkhold was buried, and now... You need to take care of it.” Abaddon pointed towards one of the buildings in front of them, through the window you could see an adorable woman lying on an old sofa, with her two little ones. “That’s her.”
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
“The woman?” Y/N asked curiously, tilting her head.
Her hair was brown, had a charming smile and big eyes although you couldn't distinguish their color. A happy look despite the tragedy surrounding her family.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
“No.” Abaddon rolled her eyes and pointed at the little girl, cuddling next to her mom. “The girl.”
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
But Y/N took a moment before speaking, her brow furrowed in confusion, she took a better look at the little girl.
Without a doubt, she had an undeniable resemblance to her mother.
“Yes, and?...” Abaddon raised an eyebrow, already more annoyed than she expected.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
After a few seconds, Y/N just wrinkled her nose and shook her head. “Yeah, no, I don’t mess with the tiny ones.”
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
Surprised by her rejection, the higher demon turned to see Y/N, who was still looking at the little girl curiously. How come something so powerful was so small and insignificant?
Abbadon could tell a hint of pity, perhaps sympathy, something that shouldn't have been there but Y/N had always been a pain in the ass.
Y/N had spent more time with humans than she had in hell.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
“Your job is to do what Chton ordered you to do.” The redhead growled, showing those terrifying red eyes. Abaddon was superior to Y/N, just because Y/N had screwed up a few times.
The truth is, Y/N didn't want to be a 'demon', like it was a big deal.
She always repeated over and over again that she was only there because of a mistake, Y/N -or Leviathan- didn't mean to fall, was a high-ranking angel, she just hung around the wrong people... wrong time!
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
Therefore, she has always been a ‘bad’ demon. Cruel sometimes but morally decent. And the children, well, it was something she was never going to be able to understand. She would never attack children.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
“But they’re kids-” This time, she seemed more confident in her words.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
Fed up with her rambling and babbling, Abaddon quickly cut her off. “We don't need you to kill her, just... make sure her destiny continues as it should be. Watch her, do not intervene.”
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
“And I’m not a fucking guardian angel or something, I fell for something- ” Y/N growled.
ㅤㅤ
“Do as you're told.” Through her teeth, Abaddon grabbed the collar of Y/N’s shirt, showing why she was superior now. She was much more aggressive and volatile. “We're not playing… he’s not playing.”
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
After a few tense moments, Abaddon released her and took a few steps back. Annoyed, Y/N simply sighed and shook her head.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
“Take it as a promotion for such good work on your… what do humans call it? Red Room.” Abaddon hissed with an evil smile before completely disappearing from that place.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
Sighing, Y/N stared at that place, knowing that it wouldn't last long if Chton needed that girl to exploit her potential.
Three hours later, she witnesses a missile destroying Wanda Maximoff's home, beginning the chaos and pain in the girl’s life.
2014
HYDRA Research Base
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
“Hail Hydra!” One of the soldiers yelled, stepping aside, letting the woman in.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
The cold, musty dark walls of the place seemed depressing to Y/N, her combat boots echoed down that hallway until she reached that horrible man's office.
She had known this man for fifteen years and there wasn't even a moment where she didn't want to rip his head off.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
“Hail Hydra.” Baron Von Strucker said quickly, but Y/N didn't return that greeting.
Y/N wasn't interested in having any kind of contact with Hydra, especially with the ‘leftovers’, but right now it was a necessary evil.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
“We found two volunteers for the tests, as you said… I must say that the results have been extraordinary.” Strucker smiled brightly, more than the demon expected.
Y/N frowned, walking through the office until she reached the window, a beautiful view of the lake and the forests of Sokovia.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
“I know.” The woman murmured somewhat thoughtfully. “How is she?”
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
She didn’t expect Wanda and Pietro to seek refuge in Hydra, but the girl's resentment grew more and more. Something Chton and Abaddon believed was essential, Y/N had never taken the time to know or care about Wanda either. Despite knowing the girl for fifteen years, she had always been distant, fearing 'closeness' or as Abaddon would say: 'attachment'.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
“How do you know it's a 'she'?” Von Strucker asked, raising an eyebrow, quite confused. No one but him and some soldiers knew that they were twin brothers, a boy and a girl.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
But Y/N's glare made him reconsider his words.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
“I know everything, don't forget who has helped you all these years. I am your superior, I am your god.” she said through clenched teeth. Suddenly, those human eyes changed to yellowish serpent eyes.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
But before Y/N could say anything, a screeching sound and the red lights indicated the alarms were activated, they were being attacked.
The Avengers crossed the walls that surrounded the castle, ready to take back Loki's scepter.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
Growling in annoyance, Y/N walked towards the door.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
“Attack the city, split them up.” Y/N said to Strucker before disappearing from that place.
She needed to look for Wanda, needed to get her out of that place before the avengers found her but an empty room answered everything the demon needed to know.
Screaming in frustration, the demon disappeared from the scene. How could she have lost her?
“How did you lose her?!” Abaddon shouted, violently approaching to Y/N. Her face was as red as her hair, and her eyes threatened to pop out of their sockets soon. There were very few times that Y/N had seen Abaddon like that.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
Both were in an office in one of the tallest buildings in New York, close to the Avengers Tower.
It was no surprise that a demon like Abaddon had a firm like ‘Hogarth, Chao & Benowitz’ in her hands.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
Y/N squeezed her fists preventing herself from exploding. She didn't like being reprimanded by Abaddon at all, much less in front of other demons.
Things in Sokovia had gotten out of control.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
Wanda and Pietro escaped, first manipulated by Ultron and then by the fucking Avengers. As a result, Pietro died in Sokovia trying to save the world. That would have been great if it served its purpose, but it didn't.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
“She lost her twin brother in that battle, her potential has not been unleashed yet.... but is there, I know is in there.” Y/N was quick to say, then clenched her jaw. Abaddon was about to lose it until she heard the last thing. “The Avengers took her, she's with S.H.I.E.L.D. now.”
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
Those words managed to appease the redhead's anger, who sat back down in her huge chair. Some of the demons around her whispered a few things, good or bad, but good enough for Y/N to stay alive.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
“Go with those 'Avengers' or whatever. Do what you must, don't let her out of your sight.” The fierce-eyed woman said, raising an eyebrow. “Chthon will destroy you if you don't, he needs the girl alive.”
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
Clenching her jaw, Y/N just nodded.
She decided to turn on her heels and walk towards the door but the war spirit inside couldn't leave it just like that.
Why? She spent fifteen years making sure that stupid girl was suffering to fulfill her own destiny. Through suffering, Wanda Maximoff would transform into the Scarlet Witch, taking on the mantle that belonged to her.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
Should she keep doing it now? Even more?
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
“If she's so powerful, why should I take care of her? I’m not a fucking angel anymore.” Y/N complained, looking at Abaddon one last time.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
The demons around them closed their eyes in suffering, they knew that later they would have to suffer and endure Abaddon's wrath because of Y/N.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
“Just do as I say, Leviathan!” Abaddon hissed through those white teeth and then glanced out of the corner of her eye at one of the demons. It was a woman with black hair and brown eyes like a puppy. She was wearing a white shirt buttoned all the way. Her black hair was tied in a tight ponytail. Looked like a secretary or something like that. “And take this useless spawn with you. I'm sick of her.”
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
Sighing, Y/N just shook her head and left the office, quickly followed by that girl.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
“Stolas… what did you do now?!” Y/N asked, pressing the elevator button, noticing how the brunette next to her finally untied the collar of that perfectly ironed shirt. Y/N knew that if Abaddon kicked her out was because she was fed up with Stolas, a rather young and troublesome demon.
Had some important hierarchical level, but not as high as Abaddon or herself. She this big problem called: being naive.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
Stolas was going to speak but Y/N stopped her. “You know what? I don't wanna know.”
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
Once both entered the elevator, they remained silent until Stolas couldn't take it anymore and blurted out everything. “I fucked up in the Red Room, big time.”
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
“I told you I didn't want to know!” Y/N growled and then shook her head, thinking that maybe now with Stolas it would be a lot harder.
After a few seconds, the elevator reached the ground floor but before they got out, the brunette turned to look at her.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
“Lev?”
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
At that 'nickname', Y/N turned to look at her and noticed the concern in those brown eyes.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
“You don't want to disappoint him again.”
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
And those words chilled Y/N’s blood, not just because of the way Stolas said it, with so much fear. But because they both knew that disappointing Chton was a direct ticket to nothing, to the abyss, to be thrown into a black hole never to come out again. That was much worse than hell.
If that sounded bad, betraying or disappointing him was much worse.
Frowning, she just shook her head. “I won’t.”
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
“Thank you for this, Ma'am. You won't regret it.” Y/N said with a kind smile. She was wearing a dark combat suit, typical of a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
After the fiasco in Sokovia, Y/N used her tricks to stay on S.H.I.E.L.D as an agent. She couldn't just walk in and take Wanda away like it was nothing, it would alert the Avengers and the demon didn't have time to unleash chaos like that.
She needed to be sneaky, and passing as an agent and keeping an eye on the Sokovian was the best idea in mind.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
“After what I've been told about how you've performed in Sokovia, I know you'll do very well here.” Maria Hill smiled and shook her hand.
Maria was an excellent agent, but she could not overcome a demon’s manipulation.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
After half an hour talking about the job they would have at the Compound, that of course working with Avengers was much harder. The missions were much more complex, dangerous, many times with risk of losing their lives and it was a responsibility that they had to assume, if they wanted to be there.
She also explained to Y/N and Stolas that their superior, Natasha Romanoff, would look for them later to meet them.
After five more minutes, both left Hill's office walking through the hallways, greeting some agents who passed by them.
ㅤㅤㅤ
“So… What’s your name?” Stolas asked curiously. “Your human name, I mean.”
ㅤㅤㅤ
“The same as always, I get confused if I change it too much.” Y/N wrinkled her nose and then held out her ID.
ㅤㅤㅤ
“Y/N Y/L/N?” Stolas read slowly and then handed back the ID. “Cool name.”
ㅤㅤㅤ
“I've been using it for so long that I already forgot mine.” Y/N shrugged as they left the elevator and walked towards the room they would both share.
ㅤㅤㅤ
“It’s Leviathan.” Stolas said quickly and in an overly naïve manner, causing Y/N to let out a confused giggle.
ㅤㅤㅤ
“... It was a joke.”
ㅤㅤㅤ
“Oh.” The brunette nodded slowly, surprised. Of course this was all new to her, she had some 'jobs' on Earth but not much to socialize with humans. After a few seconds she took out her ID and showed it to Y/N proudly. “I’ll be Julia Hale. I’m an agent.”
ㅤㅤㅤ
Y/N watched with curiosity as the girl smiled seeing the ID and then put it in her pocket. “Why are you so excited? We're supposed to hate them, you should hate this like you all demons do.”
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
“Well, I haven't been around here much...” Jules shrugged. “We're supposed to use them, I'm more excited to experience new things and I like to hurt them sometimes over there, in hell. Working with Abaddon was… awful and boring. Mostly awful, so this is better.”
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
But Y/N just listened to everything carefully, noticing that she was telling the truth. In a way she thought that perhaps Abaddon sent Stolas to spy on her, but Stolas - or 'Jules' now - was telling the truth. Abaddon just wanted to get rid of her.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
Once they finally arrived at the training area, both walked through the gym, approaching a more private training area where only the Avengers and some agents close to the group trained.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
In the distance, you could see how a brunette and a redhead battled in a ring to maintain control but the widow defeated the sokovian easily.
Y/N tilted her head, noticing that Wanda didn't seem bothered by hitting the mat again and again, but rather tired, staring blankly waiting for it to finish.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
"That's our best weapon?" Jules frowned looking at Wanda.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
“That one is interesting.” Y/N referred to Natasha.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
The woman was very skilled, fast, and of course even if Wanda tried hard, she would never make the widow fall without powers.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
“The Black Widow. Dangerous. One of the best weapons in the Red Room for a long time…”
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
“Come on. Jab, Wanda!” Y/N muttered under her breath, trying to encourage her 'protege' but once again, Natasha ended up making Wanda fall.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
The demon just shook herhead, how was it possible that that girl ended up being the Scarlet Witch? She could barely stand up.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
“At least she’s pretty.” Jules mumbled, breaking Y/N out of her thoughts.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
“You shouldn't think that.” Y/N frowned.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
But the brunette just shrugged. “Come on… Like you never fucked humans.”
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
“I did, but I don't worship them, I just use them.” As if she was seriously offended, Y/N just grunted and rolled her eyes.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
“I just said she's pretty... it's not like you thought that too.” Jules rolled her eyes too. She didn't know why there was such a scandal in liking a ‘human’, without a doubt seeing them was better than some infernal beast in the depths of the darkness. “Anyway, that's all we can do, she’s Chton’s pet.”
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
Y/N didn't say anything, just stayed silent as they watched the blonde and brunette fight one more time.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
Wanda just sat far away so she could drink some water, but although the demon thought it must be tiredness, the sokovian seemed down.
You could tell in her aura, something wasn't right about her at all and it stirred something in Y/N, something she couldn't identify.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
“Do you already know what will happen to her?”Jules asked curiously, watching Y/N who kept her gaze fixed on the sokovian. “... that makes her... You know, change?”
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
“No one knows... I thought it would be Pietro's death, but apparently it's something more devastating.” Y/N sighed. “Just that it will be painful enough to break her whole world.”
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
Although she didn't know it, those words would weigh heavily in the future. As if it were a revelation.
Wanda got up again but this time she walked away from the gym.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
“Who’s the golden retriever?” Y/N asked as she watched the brunette fall to the mat once again, the blonde seeming to be winning once again.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
The blonde raised her ice-cold gaze and collided with Y/N's for a moment, like she knew something wasn't right, until returning to Kate it softened.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
“Kate Bishop… and Yelena Belova, she is the widow’s sister.”
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
“Mh… interesting. Maybe we should start there, Kate looks like a weak point and desperate for a friend.”
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
That day passed slowly, first day at the Compound had been quite tiring. As if interviews with Maria Hill weren't stressful enough, briefings between Avengers were worse.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
“Do we really have to do this?”
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
“Yes. We have to.”
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
The sun finally hid behind the huge treetops that surrounded the place.
Y/N and Jules were returning from a long training session, and although they had much higher stamina than a human being or a superhuman, it was quite boring doing things that you could easily overcome as a demon.
Once they reached the rooms, they bumped into a redhead who was waiting outside with crossed arms.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
“You must be the newbies.” With a smug smile, Natasha greeted them both. “Shame I wasn't at your training today, but someone told me you both are deadly.”
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
Y/N didn't say anything, she knew that if she drew too much attention it could complicate things.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
“I spoke with Maria and now you both will work with us-”
ㅤㅤㅤ
Before Y/N could say anything against it, Natasha continued speaking since she was her superior. “You can dine with us if you want. Meet the team... there are just a few of us now.”
ㅤㅤㅤ
Jules's eyes widened excited while Y/N remained the same, of course she didn't feel like socializing with those people but couldn't arouse suspicion either.
Y/N just nodded slowly, giving a fake kind smile.
ㅤㅤㅤ
‘I'm not hungry now, but thank you. Maybe another time.’ It was something she would have said but ended up saying: “Sure.”
ㅤㅤㅤ
“Great.” Natasha exclaimed, winking flirtatiously. The three walked together to the kitchen while chatting pleasantly, it was a more private area where the other agents wouldn't be snooping around.
ㅤㅤㅤ
At the table were Kate Bishop and Yelena playing some video games, Steve was chatting with Bucky and Bruce, who was cooking. Wanda was on the couch far away, trying to read, and Vision was looking out the window with a thoughtful look.
ㅤㅤㅤ
“Hey.” Natasha caught everyone's attention. “This is Y/N and Julia, they are new and tonight they are going to have dinner with us.”
ㅤㅤㅤ
Y/N felt everyone's gaze on her and could feel the heat on the back of her neck.
She had never felt so exposed, and above all, she had never felt so uncomfortable in centuries.
ㅤㅤㅤ
Everyone greeted them kindly, Steve was very kind to come over and shake their hands. Yelena just nodded her head saying 'hey' and Kate looked like an adorable puppy excited to meet the new agents, which made Y/N slowly walk away. Feeling deeply uncomfortable.
ㅤㅤㅤ
Bruce was quick to say that dinner was ready, and everyone seemed happy about it, willing to help set the table, but something caught Y/N's attention.
Sighing, Wanda walked to the kitchen to get a glass of water and instead of returning to her seat, she walked away.
ㅤㅤㅤ
“Where is she going?” Y/N asked as she watched the sokovian disappear.
ㅤㅤㅤ
“Wanda doesn't like spending a lot of time outside her room. She's having hard times, the girl lost her twin brother recently.” Natasha wrinkled her nose as she helped carry the salad to the table.
ㅤㅤㅤ
“In her Emo era, huh?” Jules joked but Y/N nudged her. “Ouch.”
ㅤㅤㅤ
“You know, I think… I want to take a shower first, I'm not that hungry anyway but thank you.” Y/N said as she walked out, finding the perfect reason to leave and not have to socialize with them.
That job was tedious enough without having to listen to Bruce Banner or Kate's jokes.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
She decided to go up to their room, taking a nice hot shower and read a nice book until the clock struck midnight.
Jules was snoring on the next bed, really tired.
Frowning, Y/N wondered if perhaps it was because that young demon didn't have any experience on Earth.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
Her belly growled saying that despite being a demon, she had some basic needs like eating.
Sighing, Y/N got up from her bed and left the room to attack the kitchen while everyone rested.
And it would have been a magnificent plan, the kitchen was empty which made her smile victoriously as she opened the fridge.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
Taking some bread, chicken salad and some cold cuts, the demon made herself a huge sandwich to satisfy the hunger.
Of course, she accompanied it with some spicy fries that the package clarified were 'property of Yelena -AND ONLY Yelena Belova-’'
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
Not caring in the least, Y/N was about to take a bite when a soft voice interrupted the moment. She knew how to recognize that Sokovian accent perfectly, even though Wanda tried hard to hide it.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
“Yelena doesn't like people eating her chips.” Wanda said from the other side of the kitchen, slowly approaching as if she were a grieving ghost.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
“I'll deal with her later.” Y/N shrugged.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
Convinced with that answer, Wanda just ignored her and went to the kitchen so she could make herself some steaming tea.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
“My name is Y/N.” She looked at Wanda but the brunette didn't even look at her. “What's yours?”
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
Of course the demon knew everything about Wanda, even the things that not even the Sokoviana knew.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
“Why are you asking something you already know?” Finally, she lifted that completely blank green gaze. Y/N could see the deep sadness behind them.
That made Y/N stay quiet and surprised.
How was it possible? How did Wanda know that-?
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
Oh.
How silly.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
Of course she should know, she’s an avenger, right? EVERYONE knew who Wanda Maximoff was.
Shrugging, Y/N just sat down at the table so she could eat her sandwich.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
That was strange to the Sokovian, who perhaps was expecting a sarcastic response or something like that. Perhaps a curious mind asking about her powers or about Sokovia like everyone else, but Y/N just kept eating.
Taking the warm cup in her hands, Wanda was about to leave until she stopped in front of the table.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
The silence was so pleasant that she couldn't help but end up sitting too. A bit surprised, Y/N decided to share some sandwiches.ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
“I’m Wanda.” The Sokovian finished by saying, taking a chicken salad sandwich.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
The demon looked up, colliding with those beautiful, huge green eyes and all she could felt was terror. Not because of the fear of knowing who Wanda was or being recognized, but because there was something about them, something different, perhaps attractive.
She really liked those eyes.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
“I’m Y/N.”
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
“I know, you said it before.”ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
Finally they both smiled.
And maybe the demon let loose a little more.
And perhaps the Sokovian smiled a little bit more, almost in an imperceptible way.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
Silence reigned again and both decided to enjoy it, keep eating without needing a word other than the sound of the clock hands. Although it seemed like a pleasant coincidence, it became routine.
Every night, Wanda and Y/N decided to have dinner together at midnight, avoiding the 'avengers' reunion.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
The talks were usually short, they enjoyed the company without needing to go further. Or so they wanted to think.
Wanda was not going to admit that Y/N slowly made her forget the pain and that normous invisible wall was beginning to fall, and Y/N was not going to admit that she liked Wanda's presence, but they were always together sharing that sacred moment.
Y/N tried to ignore all those thoughts that reminded her that she should NOT maintain any ties with the witch and it wasn't easy at all.
Some nights Wanda would cook something for both of them, other nights Y/N would bring some Chinese food or pizza.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
But one night Y/N just didn't show up.
That Friday night, a storm was hitting the Compound so hard that the treetops were moving violently.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
Wanda excused herself from dinner saying that she wasn't that hungry cause in one of their ‘small talks’ with Y/N, both agreed to make some pasta on friday night.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
“Does anyone know where Y/N is?” Wanda asked, trying not to look too worried.
Of course Natasha noticed the concern in her voice, but she didn't say anything.
Nat was a very good spy and confirmed it when she found both girls having dinner together, but neither of them noticed it.
The redhead was happy for both, especially for Wanda who was beginning to open up a little bit.
Natasha respected Wanda's silence, although she made her pay for it in training.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
Noticing that the hours were passing and Y/N didn't return from that mission, Wanda walked back and forth with her arms crossed as she watched the furious wind move the treetops through the window.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
Why hasn't Y/N come back yet?
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
The only thing she knew – and thanks to Natasha – was that Y/N was on a mission in Norway. Things had not gone well at all, but they would soon return with the news and information they needed about the last remnants of Hydra.
But that storm was bringing out the worst in the Sokovian, who seemed to relive the worst thoughts over and over again.
Why was she so concerned about Y/N?
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
Well, maybe because together they managed to establish a small friendship or bond without saying much.
After half an hour and a lot of tragic thoughts, the door to the room opened, letting in this woman in a bit of a hurry carrying a package on her hands.
Y/N's hair was wet as was her clothes, but the package seemed intact.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
“I'm sorry., I'm sorry, I know!” The demon said, approaching Wanda and stopping right in front of her. The drops of water were falling down her face, she didn’t even stop to go up to her room or change clothes. She knew Wanda would be waiting for her, and knew she might be worried. “I really couldn't do anything, the mission got so bad in a blink.”
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
Lost in those eyes, Wanda's heart skipped a beat. Couldn't even say a single coherent word.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
“We were trapped, the agents were waiting for us but we managed to overcome them-” Y/N said quickly, babbling as droplets fell from her hair.
And at that very moment, Y/N knew that something wasn't right with her.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
Frowning, the demon rethought all her actions that day. Why was she explaining herself to Wanda? Why was she so worried about being on time and not standing her up?
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
Because she knew that Wanda created a routine with her, because she knew that Wanda lost her brother a short time ago, and that she fled any kind of ties with the Avengers but not with her. Not with Y/N.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
Because she cared, because it mattered.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
Suddenly, Y/N remembered that she was still holding that package and decided not to let go.
Without further ado, Wanda came to hug her tightly. Closing her eyes, the Sokovian let herself get lost in that warm sensation.
Oh, she was so happy to see that Y/N was okay.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
The fear she felt at the thought that she could lose Y/N, even though Wanda barely knew her, was overwhelming.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
Completely shocked, Y/N didn't know what to do. No one had ever held her before, she had never before allowed anyone to touch her so intimately. Much less hug her like that.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
“Are you okay?” Wanda asked quickly, breaking away to look at her.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
ㅤㅤ
“I- I'm fine.” Y/N stammered, feeling the heat in her ears. She was definitely blushing and no one, no one had ever managed that. “Some bruises… but we’re okay.”
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
“Is your girlfriend okay too?” Wanda lowered her head, somewhat embarrassed but perhaps also jealous.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
“Girlfriend?” Y/N frowned quite confused. “Oh… no! Jules is… my friend. Just my friend.” She stammered quickly, nodding.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
“Oh, great.” And as if her soul returned to her body, Wanda just smiled and nodded too.
Finally, the demon smiled slightly without needing to fake it.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
“What’s that?” The Sokovian looked at that perfectly wrapped package.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
Remembering it, Y/N opened her eyes wide and handed it to her. “I brought pasta from Sicily!”
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
That took Wanda by surprise, who just let out a small, confused giggle.
Noticing her mistake, Y/N blinked quickly and added babbling: “I mean, not really Sicily but the place called ‘Sicily’ in Little Italy. I know it’s not chicken paprikash but…”
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
Taking a huge breath of air, Y/N seemed about to explode but Wanda simply stopped that bombshell with a small smile and a soft voice. “Thank you.”
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
And that's all they needed, to share a moment together.
After Y/N took a quick shower, both finally sat down to taste that exquisite pasta together.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
“Why don't you have dinner with them? I'm not saying it bothers me, I’m flattered. I like this.” Y/N said curiously as she devoured that delicious pasta.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
“It's different… with you.” Wanda whispered, watching her face in detail. Y/N was strangely unique; those lips, her nose, how adorable her slightly blushing cheeks were. Although those eyes... they made her feel different, weird but good at the same time. She knew they were hiding something. How strange. “You are the only one who doesn't torment me with loud thoughts.”
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
Oh, how curious that was.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
Why couldn't she hear Y/N’s thoughts? That question was haunting the brunette for weeks but then she came to the simple answer: did it matter?
Y/N made her feel comfortable, who cares why she can’t? She had to learn to trust Y/N, it was exciting.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
“Everyone here does it, and I can't help it. It’s driving me crazy…” Wanda lowered her gaze for a moment, embarrassed. “...like I don't have enough pain in my heart. I must deal with anxiety and other people's pain too.”
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
Staying silent, Y/N completely understood Wanda's reasons for distancing herself from the others.
Even though she pretended not to care and even though she should NOT care, Y/N was beginning to make a bond with Wanda and it was inevitable not to feel… empathy.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
It was inevitable not to feel appreciation for those sad eyes, wasn’t that the reason for all this? To create the Scarlet Witch, to forge the most powerful being in existence through pain.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
“I won't tell you I'm sorry, everyone does it and it doesn't seem to help you at all.” Y/N barely said, she knew some things about torture and pain. Many, but she had never experienced it that way. “I know some stuff about pain… and if you need me, and want to talk about it... I'm here.”
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
Pursing her lips, Y/N just tried hard to smile and shrugged, showing for the first time who she was.
And maybe that was what Wanda valued most, that she didn't need to make her feel better with empty words.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
The Sokovian nodded.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
“How is your ravioli?” Y/N finally asked, taking a bite.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
“It’s good.” Wanda smiled widely, taking another bite as well.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
“I’m glad.” Y/N smiled tenderly, wiping her lips with a napkin. “The owner told me it was late but that she only made an exception because I was soaked.”
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
“You did that for me?” Those beautiful green eyes shone with some hope.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
“Of course not, I did it because I was hungry!” Y/N joked.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
Stealing a giggle from the Sokovian, they kept enjoying for a while until the clock invited them to retire to their rooms before Natasha found out and kicked their asses.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
“Y/N?”
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
“Yeah?” As she finished putting the dishes in the dryer, the demon looked up to see Wanda in front of her. She was playing with her rings, something she did when the girl was nervous and it looked adorable.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
“Thanks for coming back safely.” After saying that, Wanda walked away slowly, feeling her heart racing and her cheeks blushing like a teenager in love.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
And the demon's old heart gave signs of life, jumping when she heard that. Joy could be seen in those 'human' eyes.
Oh, what was she doing?
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
“Look, you’re a sea beast! … What’s that? A whale?” Jules asked excitedly as she looked at the screen, searching for information on some random pages about demonology.
Since she arrived on Earth, Stolas was fascinated with all the technological advancement and the knowledge that humans had of them. Some are totally wrong, according to her.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
“A snake! I'm not a whale, I'm a snake! Just- … Can you stop looking for us on the internet?” Y/N growled as she changed into her pajamas so she could lie down on her bunk. “If someone see you, they'll say you're crazy and you'll ruin our plans.”ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
“No, I wanna see-” The brunette tried to continue but Y/N took her phone from her hands in annoyance and then threw it away, pointing at Jules.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
“You're a gay owl with skinny long legs.” Y/N hissed, arching an eyebrow. “You teach about astronomy and herbs when you are summoned! Happy? HERBS! That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard, a demon teaching about herbs!”
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
“Hey! that’s not me.” Jules stood up to grab her phone to look for the picture, it clearly looked like an owl exactly like Y/N described it. “I don't look like that. I know a lot about astronomy tho.”
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
Rolling her eyes in disdain, Y/N laid down on her bunk so she could rest.
Every night, it took an hour to find sleep. Her body was never so tired as to fall asleep easily, and thoughts came to her to haunt her one more time.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
Y/N sighed thinking about her once again, but Jules' voice saved one more time, something the demon didn't think could be possible.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
“How is everything going? With Wanda…” Jules glanced at Y/N, who seemed to focus her gaze on the ceiling.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
“It’s okay.” Y/N shrugged. “Like a hurt beast, but nothing that indicates… you know.”
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
The brunette turned to see Y/N with a mischievous smile. “I know you both have dinner together at midnight. I can hear her heart pounding fast in the distance.”
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
How dare Stolas offend her like that?
Watching her with a murderous look, Y/N growled: “I never said that you should follow me. And you shouldn't get involved in other people's affairs.”
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
“I didn't do it!” Jules quickly defended herself, a bit scared. “I just… noticed it. Abaddon didn't say anything about you having to bond with her.”
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
“I like to have things under control.” Sighing, Y/N kept staring at the ceiling.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
“Or you like to spend time with her.” Of course Jules was more astute than she looked, despite being naive she was no fool.
Jules was a high-ranking demon, with the brain and body of a woman who had never experienced anything more than torture her entire life. “Time is something so simple for us, Y/N, we are eternal… We have seen empires rise, we have seen empires fall. We have seen great people and many other people so horrible that hell was not enough for them... all thanks to time. For us, it is nothing more than sand, but for her it is important, and you like her to enjoy it with you.”
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
Y/N turned to look at Jules, who didn't seem to say it in a mean or judging way.
The brunette just blinked slowly, a little thoughtful, maybe even relaxing between those huge pillows.
She wasn't trying to attack her or use it as an advantage, Jules seemed rather curious.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
“And I’m saying: mind your own business.” Y/N narrowed her eyes and grabbed one of the pillows, hitting Jules. “Sleep now, Stolas.”
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
“It’s ‘Jules’ here!” Rolling her eyes, Jules settled on her bed and Y/N did the same after turning off the lights.
Silence reigned for a moment until the voice of the demon brought Y/N out of her thoughts again.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
“Y/N?”
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
Sighing, ready to get up and hit her to shut up, Y/N opened her eyes. “What?!”
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
“If you think the girl needs to clear her head or feel better or... if you want to share your time with her, I think it's the right thing to do… that’s why you’re so much better than Abaddon.” Jules said in a whisper as she rolled over and settled down to sleep. “And you don't hit me all day long, that's good.”
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
And perhaps those words finally managed to steal a small smile from Y/N. The urge to hit Stolas or -Jules now- wasn't far, but she understood the demon's relief at being away from someone like Abaddon.
Although demons had an evil nature, they were not all exactly the same.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
Many of them had previously been kind beings who ended up falling. Some with reasons, others not so much. Some were cruel, others were sadistic, and others simply existed.
But Abaddon was different, if demons were chaos, Abaddon was cruelty and malice. She was a cruel general, addicted to blood, hungry for violence and that was why Chton had considered her over Y/N.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
There was no room for cruelty in Y/N, except for beings that were truly malicious. Y/N loved giving them what they deserved.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
“Yeah…” Y/N sighed. “That's why I'm not where she is. In control.”
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
And although the demon tried to sleep and clear her head, it was difficult not to think about that girl all night.
The way Wanda looked at her, or the way she cared for her was so…disgustingly nice.
She had to do something to stop it, and she had to do it soon or everything would become even more complicated.
Well, I hope you like this new story that is running through my head and is saving me from the daily stress in which I begin to die. But a beautiful song made me think about that story, so why not?
In my defense, watching 'Good Omens' helped a little.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
I'm sorry for leaving you for so long, my life is getting a bit complex these days…
The economy in my country is burning and I try to survive by working hard so writing was difficult for me.
