Rebel Of The Stars

Chapter 3

Wanda's POV

"Wanda. You need to follow me, now." Gamora rushed out, a panicked look across her face.

"Let's go then." I tried to say in a calm voice but failed as I looked at Natasha.

I moved off her, yanking her up quickly and running out of the room behind Gamora. We followed Gamora to the conference room, the rest of the group assembled there. A green light was visible from somewhere towards the middle of the room, making me furrow my brows in confusion.

"What is it?" I whispered pushing through everybody to see a green gem floating in mid-air.

I reached out to touch it, but Gamora roughly grabbed my wrist making me flinch and look at her with confused eyes.

"It's an infinity stone. Specifically, the time stone. You can go forward or backward in time if you want to, but a normal human can't use it. It would kill them." She spoke up, voicing the thoughts of me and everybody else in the room.

"Why is it such a big deal though?" I asked in a curious tone, walking up to the stone, observing it carefully.

"It's very powerful and Thanos wants it. He can't get it. We must protect it at all costs. For example, let's say Wanda touches the stone. She won't have the reaction that a normal human would have because she's not fully human. If she were to touch it, she would get transported to a time frame where an important event in her life took place, or it would be wherever she was thinking of. It would also take whoever was touching her, along the journey. So, if Wanda touches it, and Natasha was touching her, Natasha and Wanda would get transported. The only way to get back to the present would be for them to touch the stone again and it would automatically send them back here. It's simple task really. All you have to do is not touch the stone. Got it?" I heard Gamora giving the entire speech, but I ignored her words as I was focusing on the gem and what it could do.

Suddenly, I crash was heard as Clint hit a table, moving it to where the stone was, sending it flying towards me. I thought the table would stop the stone, but it didn't. Without thinking, my hands shot out to catch it, Natasha grabbing my arm as it hit my palm, a green burst of light flashing before we were gone. I felt queasy as everything looked like it was swirling, my surroundings blurry but visible after a minute. I slammed my eyes closed, the feeling overtaking me. Our feet landed on solid ground, the atmosphere feeling different as my eyes stayed closed. The sounds of fighting could be heard in the distance making me open my eyes to look around. I spotted Natasha looking forward, my hands up as if I were going to control her mind. I quickly snatched my hands back to my sides, grabbing Natasha's hands, pulling her out of the way of an incoming piece of metal as it barely missed out heads.

"Wanda?" She whispered looking me up and down with a weird expression.

"Natasha?"

I did the same thing to her, now noticing how different our outfits were. We weren't wearing what we had been in the conference room.

"Nat, I think we're back to when Ultron was attacking. That's why we look so different." I responded making her nod her head in agreement.

"That would make sense. I think you we're about to control my mind though. We got transported back to..." Her sentence trailed off her eyes saddening a little. "To when we first met." She finished looking down at her hands.

"We can talk about it later if you want to, but we need to get out of here now. We need to fine the stone and get back to our time."

"How do we even find the stone?"

"We'll figure it out. I need to get you out of here though."

My eyes glowed red as I shot a hole in the ceiling of the cargo holder and floated above the ground. I picked up pieces of metal, molding them into a carrier of some sort.
