Wanda regretted scheduling a day so far in the week, but it was too late to change anything about it.
Her apartment was a space of boredom, and she did not know what to do with herself. She wanted to talk to someone, even considered calling Natalia, but she decided against it, she was probably working with other patients right now.
She unlocked her phone, and opened up the 'Messages' app. The only messages she had received was from the chat-group that Peter created, which included Steve, Tony, Bruce, Wanda, Pepper, Bucky, Sam, and Thor.
When the chat was created, she was obligated to turn off her notifications, because Peter and Sam were sending a tremendous amount of pictures, they said they were supposed to be funny, but Wanda and everyone else in the chat was confused.
She opened the chat to see what they were speaking about, and it was not a lot, the occasional "funny" picture was sent, and some other messages.
Wanda prompted everyone in the chat if they were free anytime this week, and majority of the mighty heroes had complied. Wanda finally had something to do.

Wanda took the train as transportation, it was only 5 stops. She walked the rest of the way over.
After the events of last year, Tony paid nearly 30,00,00 dollars for the Compound to be rebuilt, and it looked exactly the same.
The door was locked, and she unlocked it quickly with nothing but a flick of her wrist. She was met with the sight of Tony setting up the monopoly board, Peter pouring soda in individual cups, Steve sitting down in a chair, Bucky on the other, laying his head on Steve's shoulder. Thor was swinging Mjolnir around, watching his hammer in amazement. Sam was on his phone, Bruce was cleaning his glasses, nearly breaking them.
"Hello," Wanda greeted, taking off her jacket and throwing it aside.
A chorus of "Hey" was heard from all of them.
She noticed the monopoly board, "Game night, is it?"
"Yup," Sam confirmed, still on his phone, "Get ready, Tony drank some before we started, he's a lunatic,"
Wanda laughs, "I think i'll manage."
She did not manage, because Tony seemed to not mess around when it came to Monopoly.
"That's my property, Bitch!" Tony cackled, "Give me 140!" he demanded.
"Tony.." Steve whispered, genuine concern etched in his tone, "It's just a game-"
"Give me," He cut him off, holding out his hand.
Steve sighed, counted the colored paper and handed it reluctantly to Tony, his hand trembling
lightly."My turn," Wanda announced, levitating the dice and throwing them on the table. She landed an '8' and moved her pawn 8 spaces, landing in jail.
"Oh,no!" She exclaimed, frowning.
"You can still get out, how much you got?" Sam asked.
Wanda glanced down at her pile, "2 dollars.." she trailed off.
"You can still get some, if you pass by the 'Go' mark," Bucky pointed out.
"No, I think i'll just sit this one out," Wanda decided, pulling out her phone and leaning back.
"You sore loser!" Peter exclaimed jokingly.
They continued playing for a while longer, Tony continuing to annoy everyone with his antics. Thor had no idea how to play, he was never familiar with Midgaurdian games, so he was just sitting there for moral support.
After almost another hour, everyone else departed one after the other. Bruce, Thor, and Sam had fallen asleep on the couch, Wanda gave them each an individual blanket. Peter was showing Tony how to do the Moonwalk dance, and Tony was failing miserably. Bucky and Steve went upstairs, leaving Wanda resting in her chair.
She wasn't upset with the change of plans, she was amused by it more accurately. She never thought she'd see Tony dancing, it was a humorous sight for her.
Suddenly, she felt her phone vibrate in her pocket. She picked it up and read her notification:
Unknown: Hello
She furrowed her eyebrows in confusion, and replied,
Wanda: I'm sorry, who's this?
She watched the chat bubbles move around until,
Unknown: Natalia, this is my work phone number.
Wanda felt her nerves calm down as she replied,
Wanda: Oh, alright.
Wanda: How are you?
Nat: I'm doing good, you?
Wanda: I'm doing well, me and the crew are all hanging out at the compound!
Nat: Oh really? That's cool, say hi to them for me:)
Of course. You know, you could stop by if you wanted, none of them will mind.
Nat: I'd love to, not today, though. Maybe, next week Thursday?
Wanda: But, don't we have a session next Thursday?
Nat: Yes I know, but for next week, you're my only client, we can just go back there together.
Wanda: Oh alright, then yes, next Thursday.
Nat: Great, it's a date :)
Wanda: Haha, i'll see you later.
Wanda put her phone down, a small smile etched on her face. She was always a fan of Natalia's humor, and she was excited to have everyone in the same room again.
She didn't know exactly why she felt this way, but being able to see Natalia more often made her the happiest than she'd been in a while.
