Wanda pov

I haven't seen you all day now, you've mostly been in your room trying to catch up on everything that's happened. What i want to do is call Sharon to tell her that you're alive but Tony said the world wasn't ready for you to come back just jet, neither were you. So with two glasses of tea i make my way down the corridor to your room. Though i realises i can't knock holding both cups i don't have to as you open the door just at my arrival.

"Wanda, hi" you say with that smile of yours that i can't help but mirror.

"Hi, i brought some tea and i wanted to ask if you'd like some company" i answer as you take one of the mugs of my hand.

"Sure, i'd never say no to lovely company" you say before going to the side to let me in. I walk in to find the room all tidy, i can't remember your room ever where tidy. Guess it's just a side effect of Hydra.

"And Yelena said you remembered something yesterday but i forgot to ask you what that was" i say, sitting down in the couch.

"Which is why I've asked Maria to come back to the mansion. I have to go through that day with her so i know it's real" you say, sitting down next to me, sipping on your tea.

"Do you remember anything else? Something that includes me" i ask, praying to the god that you do.

"Sorry, i don't. But i have read about you. Apparently i've written books or i think they would count as files but they're thick and on paper wrapped in leather, so a book. Anyways i have them about all of you, so if there is something specific you'd like to go through maybe it could help me remember" and the way you say it is just wrong somehow. It reminds me of what i heard in your mind on your first night back.

"Well it's not really a memory but something i heard from your head your first night here" i don't know but i almost feel afraid to ask.

"What did i think?" you ask with a laugh but i can see the seriousness behind your question.

"You say 'i have to do this, save me if i fail' so of course i asked what i would save you from but what you answered made no sense..." i say but you cut me off, saying the last part.

"'Me, myself and i. We're different people' i didn't think i said it to someone"

"So what does it mean?"

"I wouldn't know, i must have been dreaming about someone" i give you a questioning look for you to keep talking. It's comforting to be able to sit beside you again and just listen to you talking, no matter what it's about. "Many years ago i came across this person, they weren't a woman or a man but both in one. On the outside they looked like a woman but had the personalities of three people. 28 year old cop Tylor, 43 year old ex-military Miryam and 32 year old mother of three and nurse named Jane"

"Why would she hunt your mind, i mean you seem like the person to give people nightmares not have them" i ask, intrigued by this new part of your life.

"Miryam held me and my brother Jake captive for three months. Torturing us, him. Jake's not as resistant as me so it was mostly him getting the hits. Before Jane came back and took over, helped us and took care of us. We were in an abandoned house in the desert somewhere so we couldn't exactly just get out. But when Tylor come to visit he put me in a chokehold while i was sleeping, i tried to call out for Jane to stop but he just answered me with 'me, myself and i, we're not the same person" i see a tear starting to fall down her cheek that i wipe away with my hand. But then i get back to the thing that stuck.

"I didn't know you had a brother? How could I not know that?"

"I didn't either until 1948 when they let us meet. He's the good, less hot and male version of me. The yang to my yin" you say, holding the yin necklace in your hand.

"Where is he now?"

"Oh i don't know, for all i know he can be in Paris sipping wine with a nice lady by his side, maybe two" you give a smirk away before there is a knock on the door. "Come in"

"You asked for me?" Maria asks as she comes into the room, meeting your gaze.

"I wanted to run something by you if that's okay"

"Sure" she answers so you gesture for her to sit down in one of the armchairs. You take out a picture frame and show it to her. It's a picture of the two of you in the water down by the bridge. "You remember that day?"

"That's what i wanted to go through with you, if you don't mind indulging me in a little play?" you ask and i'm not entirely sure i should stay. We all know your history with each other but i can feel the tension. But it's almost like i can walk through it, like it's just a hologram. Maria nods so you being. "I said to you 'come on, it's not that cold' and what did you respond?"

"Easy for you to say, your super soldiers" Maria answers, it's like you're both reading from a script.

"I called you a 'chicken' is that right?" Maria nods. "We argued over it until i told you to go in the water, then what happened?"

"You carried me and effortlessly tried to get out of your grip but you held me, then jumped into the warm water" i see a smile on you like you're both reliving it together.

"Then you threatened to kill me, and i dared you to"

"Then i jumped you, pushed us both under water again" Maria has a smile on her lips that you manage to mirror perfectly. "What more do you remember from that day?"

"It was the day that i forced myself to forgive you for not trusting in me, the reason our first relationship didn't pan out"
