Fighting A Losing Battle

Summary: S.W.O.R.D. has called Y/N in to stop Wanda Maximoff and their boyfriend Bucky insists on accompanying them.

Since gender neutral was requested, I won't write this with any specific gender and you can imagine it to fit your gender!

"I don't like this," Y/N muttered as they reread the email from Tyler Hayward for the umpteenth time, their boyfriend Bucky sitting next to them, his metal arm around their shoulders, and his fingers playing with their hair.

Because Y/N had similar powers to Wanda in that they both had energy blasts and their powers connected to the mind, Hayward wanted Y/N to come in and essentially take down Wanda because Y/N's energy blasts were stronger than Wanda's. However Y/N wasn't fond of fighting their friend.

"Neither do I," Bucky agreed. "Which is why I'm coming with you."

Y/N smiled, leaning their head against Bucky's shoulder. They knew they couldn't talk Bucky out of this and wasn't sure if they wanted to.

"I can't help but think that if I had been there for Wanda more after Vision-" Y/N started to say, feeling the tears starting to form. God, ever since the Avengers brought everyone back - Y/N and Bucky included - all Y/N had felt like they were doing was crying. First for Natasha, then Vision, and now Wanda.

"Don't do that to yourself, doll. You tried to reach out and be there for Wanda and there was only so much you could do," he said, hugging them close.

Y/N sighed, nodding. "I just- I don't get why she would do this to all those people," they said, eyes flickering back to the email detailing in a harsh tone what exactly had happened to Westview and Captain Rambeau.

"Grief does unimaginable things to people - especially those with Wanda's abilities. She probably didn't mean what she did, and you're gonna go make her realize that," Bucky told them comfortingly, pressing a kiss to their forehead.

Y/N rubbed their face with their hand, a million questions about their current situation running through their head. Hopefully they could fix it.

As Y/N and Bucky walked into the S.W.O.R.D. base, they entered right as Captain Rambeau and Hayward were in a heated argument, and the couple paused to listen to what they were saying. As Y/N listened, they found themself starting to agree with Rambeau. Hayward didn't just want Y/N to take down Wanda, he wanted Y/N to ... to ... they couldn't imagine it, and Y/N didn't want to hurt their former teammate and friend.

As Hayward began to get ready for another argument, Y/N made their presence known. They stepped forward, towards Rambeau and Hayward. "If you want me to cooperate with this investigation, know that I will first try to talk to Wanda and then I might fight her if it is necessary. Nothing more," they said.

Hayward frowned, turning to look at Y/N, then at Rambeau and Bucky and finally at the other S.W.O.R.D agents nodding who were nodding in agreement with Y/N. "Fine," he hissed with venom. "Don't come crying when your way fails and you end up dead." Bucky would've went after him as he walked off had Y/N not grabbed his arm and squeezed his hand in a comforting manner.

When Y/N entered Westview, they were able to retain their memories due to their own powers, but their communication with S.W.O.R.D. (and Bucky) was lost. Thankfully it wasn't that painful to enter Westview and Y/N was able to shake it off, but now they had to find Westview.

As they walked and looking around, they tried to blend in. Everyone walking around town looked normal, but knowing that they were not, and that there was some kind of underlying darkness in the fake cherry facade sparked some fear inside them. Finally, Y/N reached Wanda and Vision's house and knocked on the door, a bit hesitantly.
