She's Got a Temper || Wanda Maximoff || Natasha Romanoff ||

Chapter 21

2017- Wakanda lab

My head was killing me as I shook the unconsciousness off. When I opened my eyes I realized I was in the lab when I should have been on the quinjet to arrest my brother. I jolted up and looked around frantically. Natasha was right beside me and grabbed my arm to calm me.

"Hey, hey, you're fine." she said but I ripped my arm from her.

"What happened?" I demanded.

"They couldn't risk you. It was too much of an uncertain situation and it's a good thing you didn't go. T'Challa gave you a mild sedative and you've been out for 2 days." Natasha told me and my eyes widened.

"Where is T'Challa? Where's Wanda?" I asked still very confused.

"T'Challa actually went with them and Wanda bregrugidely did as well. She had no idea what they were planning to do but she wanted to take your brother down for you because it would've been something you wanted." Natasha continued to explain and I was so angry but I was also so weak.

"The mild sedative took me out for that long? Usually it would take 3 sedatives to put me down." I said as I laid back in bed.

"I know, you're getting weaker as the days pass you need to get the transplant." I shook my head.

"Not until Wanda and the others get back."

"I think they can wait for you to get mad at them." Natasha said with a laugh but that wasn't what I meant.

"It's not that. It's just if anything happens to me, I want to be able to say goodbye." I looked away from Natasha because this was a moment of vulnerability and I hated it.

"I'm sure Shuri will keep you alive till then." Natasha said softly. I almost forgot I was supposed to be mad at her but I also had no energy to be angry. I was just so tired.

"I'm mad at you, you know?"

"I know, but I'm not sorry." I turned my head back to her, kind of confused by her motives.

"I'm not sorry because you literally risked your life for me several times. You kept things from me to keep me safe whether it was reasonable or not. I made a judgement call, I chose not to tell you to protect you and I will never be sorry for that. Victor isn't worth your life."

"And you know James would say the same thing." Natasha finished and she made it all the more difficult to stay mad. I hated that she always seemed to be right. James would kill me if I died taking Victor down.

"I hate that you have a point." I said with a laugh.

"Don't I always?"

I laid there for another moment but realized I needed to try and sit up so I could watch the feed on Steve's body camera. Natasha noticed my struggle and helped me as I adjusted myself. Once I was comfortable enough I pulled the feed up on my new watch Shuri made for me. I saw the live video come up and it looked like they were on the quinjet.

"Steve, do you hear me?" I said, speaking into the comm's through the watch.

"Good to know you're awake, Julia." Steve said back.

"What's happening?" I worried about the answer.

"We got him; he was waiting for you in your old apartment. We caught him off guard." Steve said and I sighed in relief.

"Did he say anything?"

"No, he tried to fight us but with Vision and Wanda we were easily capable. I told you we would get him" he finished and I couldn't help but comment to myself; after he killed 32 people.
