Mystifying the Captain (Steve X OC)

Chapter 9 - The Captain can be Wrong

---TW ---rape and suicidal thoughts-----

(Steve POV)

Most of us are sitting around the table enjoying breakfast. The only two not here are Cass and Bucky. 

They are probably together after last night. She probably ran to him after everything and spent the night with him. 

My breath starts getting shaky and so does my hands.

Wanda, sitting next to me, sees me and grabs my hand and squeezes tightly. I look at her and nod giving her permission to read my thoughts. She stares at me for a moment and her jaw drops, her eyes water.

She gets up suddenly and pulls me along with her. Leaving our team confused as to what's happening.

"Hey you two if you are hiding something it's not fair to us" I hear Sam yell across the room before we enter the elevator.

"Wands.." I start to say but she shushes me. She then drags me to an office locking the door.

"Jarvis, protocol six nine five. Turn off all cameras and audio in this room" 

"Yes Ms. Maximoff" Jarvis confirms the protocol.

I sit down and bury my face in my hands crying heavily. I haven't cried this hard since Peggy died.

For a while Wanda sits next to me rubbing her tiny hand on my back. 

"She chose him Wands, she chose him. What do I do? He's my best friend...Tell me what to do" I say through my sobs.

"There are things you don't know about yet Steve. From what I saw all that happened was a kiss. She was obviously distraught when you saw her at the gym. Something else is going on. You need to breath and wait." She tries to calm me down with logic. She knows me too well but right now logic doesn't exist. My heart is in so much pain I want to rip it out of me.

I kick the chair back so hard it hits the wall and startles her. "I was falling for her Wanda. How can I give my heart time after knowing what I know?"

"The point is you don't know" She stands up more firmly now. "To start, a kiss doesn't mean she chose him." I begin to argue and she shuts me down with a hard slam on the table. I have never seen Wanda so angry before. Her eyes are turning red now and it catches me off guard.

"You two..." She shakes her head "From the moment she got here the both of you have been acting like puppies trying to win a trophy. Have either of you thought about what she went through over there? What the people of Hydra did to her? She lost her damn family Steve, and you both want her to forget something like that and replace all her emotions with love for either of you, come on.."

She was yelling now. She knows something no one else does or else she wouldn't be so protective. I let her continue. Because, she's right. Everything we did was to appease ourselves not to help her emotionally. 

"The stuff she went through would make anyone suicidal..." The words hit hard. My chest hurts now but in a different way...was that what she was feeling? "Then add the mistrust everyone here has on her, add the two of you begging for her love and attention when she can't even think about...." Wanda catches herself before she spills a secret that isn't hers to say.

"You need to calm down Steve, this shit isn't about you. It's about her, it has always been about her. It's about damn time you act like it." She turns around in a huff, just now noticing everything was levitating in the room from her anger. "Jarvis cancel protocol six nine five" Wanda walks out of the room slamming the door letting everything that was in the air drop around me.
