Make a choice (Y/N)

Chapter 39

Nat's POV:
Wanda had been spending a lot of time by herself. Yelena being here was really hard for her. Y/N and I tried our hardest but had no idea what to do to help her. She'd been going to therapy a lot and sitting on a bench staring out at the lake. Y/N was stressed and working out a lot. She was so worried that Wanda was going to leave us. Wanda wasn't talking or laughing she wasn't being affectionate. We were losing her. She was out there again staring at the lake.
"I can't do this anymore Nat. I can't just Stand and watch her leave us. It's too hard," Y/N states tearfully,
"I know but what can we do?" I ask.
"She begged me never to leave her and here she goes leaving us. What happened over night?" She questions holding her head in her hands.
"I don't know baby. I don't know but we've got to fight for her," I encourage her.
"Then let's fight," she agrees walking over to her. Wanda didn't acknowledge our existence when we sat either side of her. Y/N takes her hand but instantly she pulls it away.
"Alright enough. What is it you want me to do Wanda? I'm trying to be supportive but I feel like I'm losing you and it's killing me so please tell me what you need from me. I'll do it," Y/N begs her.
"Space," Wanda answered and you could see Y/N's heart break.
"Nat and I will move back into HQ with Yelena. And we'll give you space but I swear to god Wanda if you don't come back to us I will lose it because I love you so much and I can't, I won't lose you," she states pouring her heart out. Wanda doesn't even look at her. Y/N walks away falling apart.
"Listen I don't know what is going on in your head but you told me once that we're Y/N's friends before anything else. Friend's don't treat each other how you just did. She poured out her heart to you and you didn't even acknowledge her. This isn't you Wanda. The Wanda we love is caring, thoughtful and affectionate who it would tear apart to cause either of us upset. When you find the woman we love behind whatever Wanda this is. Please let me know. We just want to love you Wanda all you have to do is let us," I plead with her. I look at her for even the slightest bit of emotion but there's nothing. Did she really not even love us anymore? I walk away heartbroken to go and find Y/N.

We put our stuff in a bag in silence taking it to her room back in HQ. She looks at me and her bottom lip just starts to quiver. She's trying so hard to hold it together.
"You can let it out," I encourage her and she just nods before she breaks down into my arms.
"Don't ever leave me Nat. Please. Promise me," she begs.
"I promise. I'm never going anywhere," I assure her.
"She's not going to come back to us is she?"
"I really don't know Y/N. What does it mean for us if she doesn't?" I inquire nervously.
"Nat I still want to be with you. I will love you for the rest of my life and I hope you'll love me too," she says to my relief.
"Always and forever," I reply kissing her gently.

There's a knock at the door and it's Steve.
"What's wrong?" He asks.
"We think Wanda is leaving us. The only thing she's said to us in the past 2 days is that she wants space. We're losing her Steve," I answer trying not to get upset.
"I'm sorry Nat. I know how much she means to you both. What can I do?" He inquires.
"We've tried everything. It's like we've already lost her," I sigh.
"Well I'm going to train now so if you want to join me you're more than welcome to," he offers. We both shake our heads as he leaves.
"You should go and spend time with Yelena. I promised Peter I'd take him to get some new clothes for his trip," Y/N reminds me.
"Ok baby. I'll see you later. I love you," I whisper kissing her gently.
"I love you too Nat. Always and Forever," she assures me.

Wanda's POV:
The bedroom door swings open and I'm shocked to see Steve.
"What's going on?" He asks leaning against the door frame. I shrug my shoulders not wanting to say what's really been bothering me.
"You need to talk to me because I've got two women in there sobbing because they think you don't love them anymore when I know for a fact you'd do anything for them. If you don't want to talk to them fine but at least talk to me. I threatened Y/N to stay away from you and Nat because I was scared she'd hurt you but you're the one that's doing the hurting. Why?" He inquires.
"You're here to threaten me?" I question.
"I'm here to help you through whatever is going on. They think they've lost you. I know you love them and want to be with them so what is it?" I take a deep breath.
"I can't control my powers. Every night I dream about hurting or killing one of them because I can't control them. Then I wake up in the morning and something is broken or I'm floating on the ceiling or my eyes are red and won't return to normal," I explain.
"So why not talk to them about it?" Steve queries.
"Because my emotions control my powers what if I get scared or upset and I hurt one of them. Or while I'm kissing them I let myself enjoy it and my powers lose control? I'm scared," I mumble trying to keep my emotions in check.
"They can help you. You need an anchor something that centres you. Your love for them that's your anchor Wanda. When you feel out of control find the memory of you all that makes you happiest. Focus on that and you'll find control easier," he encourages me.
"You really think so?" I ask hopeful.
"I know so. You need to tell them what's going on eventually. They are terrified Wanda. Y/N is taring herself apart and Nat is trying to keep it together but it's killing her," Steve pleads.
"I will. I just need to practice before I can feel safe around them again," I sigh.
"Can I help you train? I was going to head down there anyway. We can train here instead," he offers.
"I'd like that. Thank you Steve."
"Let's get to work," he instructs.
