Mercury // S. Rogers (Book Six) ✔

The Nexus

Freya and Vision fly across Westview at his top speed. She's itching to go faster, so she takes the lead and guides him toward his wife. A whirlwind of emotions can be felt from Wanda. Confusion and interest, then, fear and anger. She can feel Billy's mind brush against hers as he reaches out to her for help. Allowing her to feel his terror. Reaching her mind out to her team, she initiates a group connection.

"Something's happening," she tells Vision, Darcy and Steve.

"What's wrong?" Steve asks quickly.

"Is it my family?" Vision asks.

"Is everyone okay?" Darcy asks next.

"I don't know the answer to any of those questions..." Freya frowns. "It just feels like something's wrong. And I just realized that I can't sense Monica now. I don't know what's happening."

"Please, be careful," Steve stresses.

"I will," Freya tells him. "I promise."

"I won't let anything happen to your wife, Captain Rogers," Vision reassures him.

"Thank you, Vision," Steve replies.

Freya drops the connection and focuses on the fast approaching signature of Wanda. Who's starting to panic. Panicking now herself, Freya blasts ahead and sees a white figure holding Wanda in the air by her head. When she gets closer, she can now recognize Vision's form. She gasps, realizing it's the original Vision that Hayward had brought back. Freya flies in, now able to hear Wanda's screams of pain. Freya hits White Vision at high speed with her shoulder. He goes tumbling down the street until Vision flies in, forces him into the ground and pushes him along the street. He then throws White Vision down the street into an RV that sits in the driveway of a neighboring house. It explodes on contact, sending a large ball of fire into the air.

"Wanda!" Freya cries out. She helps Wanda to her feet and pulls her into a tight hug.

"Freya! Oh, my God, thank you!" Wanda gasps out. She pulls back and the look on her face screams guilt. "I'm so sorry. For all of this. For everything. For-"

"Tampering with my memories?" Freya asks with a raised eyebrow.

"About that..." Wanda begins hesitantly. "I'm so ashamed for doing that. I didn't want you to worry, so I lied about seeing a doctor. Then, I felt bad for lying to you. So, I removed the memory while you were sleeping the next night..." Wanda explains. "I'm so sor-"

"If you tell me you're sorry one more time, I'm gonna smack you," Freya grins. Wanda grins back in reply and pulls her in for another hug.

"I've missed you so much, Frey," Wanda sighs.

"I've missed you too, Wan," Freya smiles. Vision flies back to them and lands at their side. The expression on his face full of worry.

"Where are the boys?" Vision asks.

"They're in the house. Safe," Wanda answers. "Vision... I should've told you everything. The moment I realized what I'd done."

"It's alright, Wanda," Vision consoles her. "Freya helped me understand why you made this world. But this...-"

"I can fix it," Wanda says quickly.

"Can you?" Vision questions uncertainly.

"How can you fix it, Wanda?" Freya asks.

"I... I..." Wanda stutters out. Her eyes avert down the street, making the other two look as well. They can see White Vision starting to emerge from the flames of the destroyed RV, completely unharmed.
