WANDA POV

A sharp hiss cuts from my mouth as I remove the freshly baked muffins from the tray, not waiting for them to cool so that I can load the next batch into the oven.

"Woah. Is this an audition for the Great British Bake-Off?"

Nat wanders into the kitchen, gawking at the mountains of cupcakes, muffins and cookies piled on the counters.

"I don't know what that is."

"Y/n hasn't got you to watch it yet?"

The sound of her name stirs more anger in me and I huff, grabbing the now loaded muffin tray and shoving it into the oven.

"I see. So that's why you're baking enough to feed an army. Where's Y/l/n?"

"I don't know." I sigh, throwing the oven mitt down onto the counter and spinning to face the assassin.
"We were supposed to shower and then meet after for a movie but she's vanished and won't answer her phone."

"Have you tried asking Emilia?"

"No... I didn't want to look like a psycho."

"Well, I'll risk looking like a psycho if it will stop you baking like one."

She slides onto one of the island stools, taking a chocolate muffin from one of the many plates and taking a bite as she types on her phone.

"Oh my god, so good. Actually, you can carry on baking." She mumbles through a mouthful of cake and I giggle. "There we go, see? She's with Emilia."

Nat👩🏼‍🦰
Yo, is Y/n with you?

Emilia🥂
Yeah! She forgot her shoes so came back to get them and we fell asleep
I'll get her home asap

Nat👩🏼‍🦰
Perfect, thank you!

"Now, it's eleven so go to bed Wanda! I sure am." The assassin jumps off the stool, crumpling up her empty muffin case and launching it at my head.

I get to work placing all the baked goods into Tupperware while I wait for the final batch to rise, trying to dismiss the unsettling sensation spreading in my stomach. All I could think about were the pair of Nikes I noticed discarded on Y/n's bedroom floor when I went to look for her earlier.

The light from the mini-fridge stings my eyes as I grab a bottle of water, unscrewing the cap and taking a long sip, quenching the thick sandpaper thirst I had awoken with. 

The clock on my bedside table reads 3:12 am. I don't remember the dream that had woken me, but I knew it was unsettling.

My eyebrows furrow as I hear a door click open and closed in the corridor, focusing on the sound of feet shuffling past my door towards the elevator.
