Indigo Meets Scarlet (Wanda x Y/n)

chapter fortyone

Y/N POV

I was starting to regret skipping breakfast this morning as my stomach lets out another bubbling growl. Ignoring it, I stub out the end of the joint I was smoking and focus back on the CCTV footage I had been staring at all night.

My phone starts ringing from the bedside table making me jump and sending the ashtray flying out of my lap, spreading ash all over the bed.

"You will not fucking believe what I just did." I say as I answer the facetime, flipping the camera to show Emilia the ash-covered sheets.

"Ohhh my god. On your bed as well."

She starts giggling uncontrollably, knowing the pain I now had to endure cleaning it up.

"I'll sort it in a minute. Anyway's what's up?"

"Are you busy today?"

"Ummmm..."

Glancing at the time at the top of the screen I saw it was only ten am. Trying to think if we had any missions or meetings today and coming back blank, I shake my head.

"Nope don't think so, probably will do some training but that's it."

"Well we haven't gone out in forever and I miss being drunk with my best friend. I've seen you ONCE. You've barely talked to me since..." She tails off, glancing away.

Since Sokovia. I had been so focused on trying to appear fine here and taking care of Wanda and now finding the guys on the file that I hadn't had a chance to go see her.

Guilt wracks through me, first, she thought I had died and then I had just completely neglected her.

"I know, I'm sorry, Em. What are you thinking?"

"Electric? Tonight at 10?"

Electric was mine and Em's favourite nightclub tucked away in a little corner of London. I hesitate at first, shifting my gaze to the footage playing on my laptop in front of me. Looking back at Emilia I see she's giving me huge puppy dog eyes and I can't help but giggle.

"Okay, yes! Should I come to you to get ready or get ready here?"

"Come here! Oh and bring Nat and Wanda, we'll have a girls night!"

"I'll go ask them in a minute but I'm sure they'll say yes."

"Yay! Come here for eight pm, so that's..?"

We both pause, trying to do that math. My brain draws a complete blank, the joint I just smoked possibly a little too strong for my mind to be functioning on that level.

"Three pm!!" Em finally calls out and we both collapse into giggles at how challenging that simple task was for us.

"Okay, three pm. I'll go find them now and ask."

"Text me what they say!"

"Will do, see you in... five hours!"

"Byeeee."

Hanging up the phone, I clamber out of bed to go find the girls. Knocking on Nat's door first, I hear her call me inside.

"Hi." I announce as I shuffle over to her bed, perching on the edge beside her.

She was watching something on her laptop, pausing it to give me her full attention.

"Yes, you look it." Smirking, she gestures to my eyes.

Twisting to look in the mirror, I can see they're red and puffy from smoking. Nudging her with an eye roll, I remember why I had come in.

"So Emilia just called and asked if we wanted to go out in London tonight. We'll have to leave here at 3 to get ready there before. I'm going to ask Wanda too, you in?"
