WANDA POV

As soon as my feet touch the floor, I feel Y/n's arms unwrap from my waist and by the time I've reopened my eyes, she's vanished.

I sigh, gathering my bearings and cast a look around the room she had brought me to. The ceiling was covered in watermarks and the light shining through the shabby curtains cast a greyish tone to everything. I recognised the sofa from one of the pictures on Y/n's wall.

We must be in her old flat in London. Did she not sell it when she moved to the US?

Walking over to the window, I peer through the curtains and look down on the drab alleyway below, litter blowing along the path in the wind. Shutting the curtains back up, I turn back to face the room.

I hear a shower turn on down the hall and breathe a small sigh of relief to know she's at least still in the flat. I start tiptoeing towards the noise, locating two doors, one locked and the other one cracked open. Pushing it in further, I find a small, square room, painted white with a single bed and a wardrobe pushed up against the wall.

I decide to take a seat on the bed, crossing my legs and leaning against the wall, waiting for Y/n. After what feels like hours, she finally emerges from the bathroom wrapped in a towel, eyes swollen and avoiding any contact with mine. I watch as she shuffles over to the wardrobe, turning invisible to change.

I can hear tiny whimpers and grunts of pain as she seemingly struggles to dress and I fight the urge to rush up and help her, instead waiting patiently for her to reappear.

When she does, turning to face me, I can't help but gasp when I see the trail of red running down her arm.

"Y/n, you're bleeding!"

Jumping up from the bed, I hurry to her side and try to locate the source of the wound.

"I'm fine. It'll heal." Y/n responds her voice a hoarse whisper. 

"Well, why hasn't it already?"

I raise my brow at her sternly, rolling up the sleeve of her t-shirt and finding a bullet wound in her shoulder. She hisses as I lightly run my fingertips near it, trying to yank her arm away.

"I think the bullet's still in there. I've got to get it out."

"It's fine, I can do it."

"Y/n, for God's sake. Please just let me help you!"

Her eyes widen slightly as she holds her arm back out for me and I feel a twinge of guilt for snapping at her.

Supporting her bicep in one hand, I begin to summon my powers in the other, focusing them on the wound on Y/n's shoulder. 

I can sense the location of the bullet and start manipulating the tendrils to extract it, my thumb supporting her arm soothingly stroking her skin at each hiss and whimper.
