Pain Is Power

15: Round One

WANDA'S POV

The house was calm for a few days, Amelia and Nat's arguments were put on hold whilst Amelia recovers from a brutal day of PTSD. Everyone was trying to work out what the hell happened between the girls, they went from arguing every time they glanced at each other to ignoring one another to just nothing. Have they both finally got their anger out and are now over it? 

They weren't acting like friends. But they weren't killing each other. As for Natasha and Steve, their friendship is completely ruined. Natasha clearly had a deep connection that roots back to when they were just kids and she was furious at him for upsetting her and going to hurt her. No one expected it from Cap, he was always the one with high morals. 

It had been about a week since Mimi's attacks and she was super cuddly and just soft the tough exterior dropped she wasn't bantering with people but she was still talking to them. I was loving the cuddles. 

But things went back to the way they were at Breakfast. Everyone had just finished their morning training. And the kitchen is always chaos. Peter and Morgan get first dibs in the kitchen as they have school and then we all get in there and no one is communicating there are typically things in the oven on the stove, in the microwaves, toaster. It was always a little chaotic and then Nat and Mimi started. It was like the build-up of the week without arguments just exploded. No one knows where it came from, I assume they were arguing to each other through their minds and then to escalated to the screaming match we're in now. 

"I can't believe you!" Amelia said. "Me? You're the one that's going!" "Because it's my job! You're the one that left in the first place!" And we're back to this. "You always bring it up." Amelia rolled her eyes. They continued going at it speaking in half sentences so we had no clue what they were talking about. After that Amelia put her walls up threw her bowl of whatever she had made in the sink untouched and walked off. "Ding ding ding, round 1 over," We all looked at sam unimpressed. Nat threw her food in on the counter and left to. "Round 2." "Sam cut it out." "Oh come on this is like the only entertainment we get around here." He defended taking his food and following the noise. 

"This isn't going to end well," I say finishing up my oatmeal and then going to find the quarrelling couple. They were in Nat's room one of them stood at one side the other stood at the other and then Sam stood by the door. "Get out of here." I pushed him away and closed the door. "She's your sister, you can't do this to her." Amelia defended. "We have no other choice." "Yes we do!" "Alright pause," I say looking between them. They both stop when I gave them the head tilt thing. 

"You two were fine, literally perfect all week why now?" I asked. I just want my two friends to get along with one another is that too much to ask? "Just stay out of this okay," Nat told me. "No. Because my friends don't get on and that upsets me." I tell her. Amelia sat down and she was not paying us any attention. 

"Have you seen Amelia- Oh she's there," Peppa said coming into the bedroom. "Amelia you got to stop doing that." She sighs sitting beside her on the bed. "What?" Nat and I both ask. "She's blocking you guys out acting as if you're not there... Tony thinks it's the reality stone." She informs us bring Amelia back into the room. "You ready to go shopping?" Peppa asked her. "Yeah." She stood up. "we're not done." I tell her. She sits back down. "I'll meet you in the car." "Okay," Amelia said with a smile. Peppa left and her face dropped. 

"What happened?" "It's complicated Wands." "Above your paygrade," they say at the same time. "Stark?" I question her knowing Nat was going to give me nothing. "Don't," Nat warned her when Mimi's face softened she was about to tell me. "It doesn't matter." She says with an apologetic smile. "we're friends. I want my friends to be friend and I can't fix it if you don't tell me what is wrong." I tell them both. "We don't need fixing," Natasha tells me firmly getting annoyed again. "I'm going to go with Peppa." "No you're not. Sit back down." She listened. "What is going on with you too. I'm getting whiplash from how back and forth you are." "Then just drop it and let us be." "How can I do that when you're screaming at each other." "We'll keep it down in future." She said sarcastically.
