Wanda's POV:
After I lost my parents, I thought I would never be happy again.
All this time, the only person who kept me sane was my beloved brother Pietro.
We spent our childhood in an orphanage that was no better than a prison.
The treatment there scared me for life.
But it got even worse when we were thrown out of the orphanage, because there was no place for us anymore.
You can't survive on the streets while rebels and soldiers roam the cities, so we had to choose a side quickly.
But the rebels were our only option.
They shared the same hate for Stark and they also wanted peace.
I always had good intuition when it came to people. Therefore, I could feel when someone had malicious intentions toward us.
My brother always told me that it was only because of my gift that we were still alive.
But even my intuition couldn't warn me of what happened next. A full-fledged civil war broke out in Sokovia.
We fought against the aggressors, but we were only people and couldn't do much about soldiers.
The protests we did were also like drops of water on a hot stone.
Until one day, some people approached us and offered us an opportunity, or should I say power, to save our country.
Every cell in my body screamed to stay away from them, but the offer was too good to refuse.
But as soon as we walked into their facility, we were locked up and forced to be their guinea pigs for all kinds of experiments.
One day, they arrived with a briefcase at our cages.
I don't know why, but I knew that whatever was inside could change my life forever.
Pietro got the yellow stone first, which was inside the case.
After he had it in his hand, his body started to vibrate like crazy and suddenly, his hair turned white and he collapsed to the ground.
Because they held me in place, I couldn't even get to him and help him. I was simply too weak to help my brother.
But then the stone heard me somehow and something like a shockwave erupted from it, that blasted anyone to the side except my brother and me.
Then the stone started to float in the air as if it was watching me.
I checked on Pietro and thankfully he was still alive.
Putting Pietro in a comfortable position against a wall, I walked to the floating stone and it began to pulse as if it wanted to be grabbed by me.
When I finally touched it the world around me started to change and I was standing in a complete red space.
A red sun blazed in the sky and a strange woman appeared from it, then landed before me.
She looked so familiar to me, but I didn't know why.
Then she placed her hand on my cheek and said, "Remember."
Suddenly I was back to the day when Stark killed my parents.
Pietro and I were under a bed, waiting for the bombshell in front of us with the Stark logo to kill us.
But before it could do anything, something in me reached out and engulfed it in a red light for a second and then it never exploded.
Then suddenly, I was back in the red world and the woman spoke again.
"I was always with you and now nothing will hold us back, so use me to punish the people who did this to us."
I agree with her proposal. Everyone should pay for their actions, so I was ready to use everything she offered.
But suddenly I felt a warm energy appear out of nowhere and it broke through the red world as if it wanted to save me.
The woman looked at me and then smiled.
"We will meet again when the world betrays you and you will have no one to protect you except me."
And then the red world disappeared and I woke up on something like a table and held the hand of a man with beautiful red glowing eyes.
He smiled at me and I knew my brother and I would be safe.
And he really kept us safe.
Even when we used him to help our country or when my powers ran amok, David was always there.
After we left Sokovia, we started spending more time together and I started to feel happy again.
And it looked like it was the same for Pietro.
Even though he was always a womanizer, it seemed that he was not doing so to distract himself anymore but rather to have fun in his own perverted way.
I can only hope that someday a woman will come along who can tame him, or I could never become a cool auntie in the future.
But my own nonexistent love life was not good either.
When we lived in Sokovia it was impossible to find a trustworthy man.
They all wanted only my body or couldn't accept me as I am.
Even when they smiled at me and whispered the sweetest promises in my ears, I knew they lied as soon as they tried to touch me. So I learned early on to stay away from people like this.
Things were different when I met David.
Sure, he was a man and a little pervert deep down. However, in contrast to the other men I met before, he didn't lie to me and when he touched me I felt safe and appreciated.
Since we spent a lot of time in discos and bars, I learned almost everything about him.
Thanks to my powers, I even saw some things from his past, such as his parents and some women he spent time with. At one point, I even saw a werewolf woman, which was insane.
New York seems more dangerous than I thought.
Such glimpses into his mind were rare and only occurred when he dropped his defenses or when his thoughts went wild in intense situations.
Such a situation occurred when I was a bit drunk and took him to the dance floor.
We danced a bit when I became more bold.
I turned around and closed the gap between us by dancing against his body with my backside.
This made him grab my hips gently from behind and we stayed like this for a lot of songs.
That day his mind was like an open book for me and I learned a lot about him.
I thought that after spending so much time together, he would finally make a move on me.
Despite being in the disco like this, nothing happened between us.
It was like he was not interested in me, or was he maybe afraid of me?
The thought that someone so close to me could be afraid of me made me insecure about myself.
What if Pietro thinks the same?
As a result, I started to isolate myself from them and started to dream intense dreams.
They were sometimes happy and sometimes disturbing but always about my past.
I wanted to stay in a dream where everything was fine and after a few days, my wish became a reality.
A dream world appeared where everything was okay. When I was a child again, I had my parents, my brother and David was there too.
However, it was just a dream and not real, but I couldn't escape it, so David had to save me again.
The woman appeared when the dream world collapsed and transported us into her world.
"He will only hurt us, let him go." she said while looking sadly at me.
But I couldn't simply throw away someone I cared about.
Instead, I ignored her and concentrated my energy on shattering the red world and bringing us back home.
She hasn't appeared since then.
A lot of things happened after that day.
My dream world awoke something in Pietro and he left us to take revenge on Stark alone.
Sometimes he is really stupid. Together we could have a real chance.
But alone? That was a suicide attempt...
Luckily he survived it, but he was locked up in prison after this.
We managed to free him and I could finally see the full potential of David's power.
This made me understand why David would never be afraid of me.
There is nearly no difference between us.
When I finally realized it, I could feel our powers resonate and I used my energy to power him up and somehow connect us.
As a result of this, we survived the situation and traveled to Wakanda.
Then I met Shuri and since she had the same attitude as my brother we became friends really fast.
I wasn't the only one who liked Shuri, because my brother only talked about her and her rebellious nature after they met the first time.
And for the next few days, everything was perfect.
David and I became closer and nearly had some intimate moments. However, they were all ruined by some tactless people.
But our peaceful time together was only short lived, because Captain America's team arrived in Wakanda.
I saw Natasha Romanoff with them, who appeared more than once in David's memories.
David seemed to have complicated feelings about her, but I couldn't identify if it was love or something else.
But after he told T'Challa and me how well he knew them all, especially how he talked about Natasha Romanoff, I felt envious for the first time in my life.
But luckily David wasn't aware of it.
After them Stark appeared and did what he always does, destroying everyone's lives.
David and I could prevent an android that had the Mind Stone from hurting Shuri and her father.
It even dared to try to lure me to their side with the promise that everything would be better there.
But I would never betray people who are important to me, especially not for someone like Stark.
David even rewarded me with a surprise kiss, after hearing me say something like this to the robot and this time, I made sure no one would disturb us.
He did this also to clarify our relationship and this made me very happy.
After I sent David off to protect the city from the Iron Legion my enemy was the android who called himself Vision.
As I fought him I realized that David was right about him.
Something in his body suppressed his personality drastically.
His body was basically a prison for him.
I used my telepathic powers to free the personality while destroying everything Stark had done to turn him into a slave.
Afterwards, he stopped attacking me and said, "I'm sorry." Before he crashed to the ground and stopped moving.
I could feel that he was still alive, if you can call him that.
Shortly after, I heard a roar and saw an unknown green energy coming from the border.
The energy looked like it would devour everything it came across and I could feel the anger against Stark in it.
I was sure that whatever was happening there would be over soon because no one there had a chance against it.
That means if their war is finished, I can finally deal with Stark.
I activated my powers and flew towards them while hiding my presence from David.
It was something I needed to do on my own to move on.
