[̲̅2][̲̅4] - The search

Evelyn sat in her bed, staring into the dark. Her mind swirled with thoughts and emotions she struggled to understand. She had been sitting in silence for the past hour since Wanda had stopped stirring past the door. 

So there she sat, contemplating whether she should take the risk and try to escape. It seemed as though Wanda was sleeping, or was that what she wanted her to think. Evelyn bounced her leg as she sat, her heart raced, sweat formed on her brow from the anxiety living in her chest. Time continued on, Evelyn was unsure how long she had been sitting in the dark thinking. She glanced to the window that sat across the room. Aged grey curtains hung from either side framing the dusty glass. 'The cabin must have been sitting untouched for a while' Evelyn thought to herself. She glanced around the rest of the room, taking it in for the first time. Off the foot of the bed sat a large chest, it was brown in colour and had black metal adorning the corners. Curious, Evelyn jumped off the bed quietly and crept over to kneel in front of the chest examining it. A large bronze old fashioned lock sat on the front, it was clean showing it had semi-recent use. Evelyn then turned her attention back towards the window. Next to the window against the wall sat a small light blue dresser. The paint was chipped slightly on the bottom of the feet and the corners, it had elegant carving detail, and delicate metal handles. On top on the dresser sat an empty flower vase, it was glass and covered in dust. 

Evelyn quietly walked over towards the window, once she reached it she placed her hands upon the sill. She let out a long sigh, her breath fogged the glass slightly. She stared at the stars longing, she wanted to go home. Images of her soulmates ran through her mind. Each breath became shakier than the last. Tears pricked in her eyes as she thought of them, that was her home. She needed to leave.

Tony was furious, he never liked Wanda that much especially as his daughters soulmate, now he felt as though he could kill her given the chance. He clenched his jaw as he let his hands grip the steering wheel, hard. His knuckles when white as images of what could be happening to Evelyn brewed in his mind. He let his foot hit the gas as he took off, taking sharp turns as he made his way home. He had just gotten off the phone with a panicked Steve who had just been notified that Evelyn was missing. His world was crashing once more, he felt as though his heart was being torn in his chest it was happening again. 

Once he arrived at the building he quickly got out of his car, and slammed the door behind him. He took quick, large strides towards the building. Once he got in he rushed to the elevator and awaited his destination tapping his foot impatiently. 

When the elevator doors opened the sight before him was chaos. Avengers scrambled panicked making phone calls, a few missing, some crying, and overall a mess. Tony looked around for Peter, he had been told he was there over the phone, yet the boy was nowhere to be seen. 

"Alright listen up," Tony paused, waiting to have attention on himself, "I need to know what we know, what the fuck caused this, and most importantly where the hell is she" He said, bitterness and anger laced his tone.

Clint stepped forward to talk "Peter is the one who knows detail, you know everything Cap knows and he knows everything I know and that's that." He said, trying to push the sinking feeling that worsened with each passing minute. 

"Where is the kid then? Not like him not to listen" Tony said looking around once more.

Pietro was the next to speak, "Now that you mention it, I haven't seen him or Vision since I came to the living room." He said. 

Tony's face hardened, his mind twisted 'could they be involved in this?' he thought to himself before he spoke. "Vision could be involved, don't make any attempt to contact him it may alert him that we know." He said looking around to ensure they understood the message. 

"Now we split into groups so we can cover more space that way, we need to find her as soon as possible" Tony announced, serious.

Evelyn stood at the window, clutching the sill she felt as if she let go she would fall. Evelyn took deep breaths trying to contain herself once more. As she tried to clam herself, whimpers slipped past her lips and her legs collapsed under her. She sat in a heap on the floor, losing her composure once more as hot tears slipped down her face, collecting and dripping from her chin. She dusted her hands off on her clothes before she harshly wiped tears from her face. She sat on the floor for a minute, taking unsteady breaths, before she pulled herself up and stood. Slowly she moved toward the door she had to do this. She placed her hand on the cold metal door knob and hesitated for a moment. She pondered what would happen if she were to be caught, would Wanda really hurt her? Could she hurt Wanda? 

"No, nononono I can't bethinking like this." she squished her words together as she whispered frantically to herself.

She turned the door knob slowly, and cautiously opened the door. She stepped through the door and closed it behind her. She glanced down the hall and Wanda was nowhere to be seen. She continued down the hall, waiting for Wanda to come around the corner any moment. 

Once she reached the end of the hallway it felt as though an hour had passed since she left the room. Her heart beat with anticipation as she crept out of the hall and veered right, towards the door. She looked to her left and her breath hitched in her throat. There she lay, barely 10 feet away on a small couch, Wanda. She was sleeping, her head rested atop her arm which was bent slightly awkward due to the size of the couch. Light snores emitted from her mouth signalling she was asleep. Evelyn moved towards the door silently, she used all the stealth she could muster. Once she reached the door she examined it, the pit in her stomach told her something was wrong. It was quiet, too quiet.

Tony organised groups, Steve and Bucky were to scour the city surrounding the building, Natasha and Clint were going to move farther east, Pietro was going to go north, he had an idea as to where he was going. and Tony was trying to find a way to contact Thor and Loki about what had happened. 

__

Pietro was the first out of the building because of his speed. He ran North, avoiding cars, buildings, and people on his way. He ran as fast as his legs could take him and then he pushed himself further. He ran until he was met with dense forest, he paused and took a break to breathe as he gazed upon the tall trees seemingly taunting him.

Evelyn opened the door slowly, as not to make too much noise, she relished in the feeling of the cool night air brushing against her skin. The cool breeze to her, felt like freedom. She took a deep breath and looked at the trees and sky beyond the wooden porch that stood outside. As she took her first step out of the door she heard something that sent chills through her entire body. 

"My love? Is that you?"
