The New Avenger

Cosmic Witch

Katherine's pov

He tackles me to the ground. I roll my eyes and flip over to face him as he grins looking down at me.

“I’m going easy on you, you know.”

“Oh, the doll I know.”

He kisses the tip of my nose and jumps up, reaching down he grabs my hand to help me up just as Steve walks in. I can feel him watching me as I walk out with Bucky. We head around the corner and I spot Wanda in the living room. I stop Bucky with a hand on his shoulder as he looks at me as I nod to her. 

“Yea go ahead when you need me you know where to find me.”

I turn around and make my way into the room stopping in the doorway. I watch her play with her powers, little wisps of red crawl up her wrists. Her head snaps up as she hears my thoughts she sees my suit and grins.

“Well look at you!”

“I know but is it too much?”

I ask, making my way over to sit next to her on the black leather couch.

“No it's perfect, I love it!”

“Now I need to come up with a new name but I have no ideas.”

She looks at me for a moment before speaking.

“How about…The Cosmic Witch?

She looks at me smiling.

“....  the Cosmic Witch, I like it!”

“Hey, Katherine how are you…?”

I evade her eyes as they become sympathetic and sad.

“I can’t trust Steve anymore he lied to me and… if I’m honest with myself I’ve been in his shadow for too long, Tony gave me that opportunity by giving me this new suit and now you gave me a new name.”

“Well, I’m glad I could help with that.” 

“I’m just worried about you is all.”

She rests her hand on my leg giving it a light squeeze.

“I’ll be ok Wanda thank you.”

Vision fazes through the wall just as I stand up. 

I’ll see you later?”

“Yea.”

I turn and head out the door. I’m hungry so I take a left towards the kitchen. I go over to the fridge and decide to make a salad. I get everything out of the fridge and start going through the cupboards.

“A billionaire with no croutons!"

I yell exasperated. I turn around and Find Natasha watching me grinning. She points to a cupboard I had not checked yet as I look inside I find a bag half full of croutons.

“Thanks.”

“No problem, so how are you and lover boy?”

I feel the heat creep up my cheeks.

“Good.”

I hear her laughter and retreating footsteps.  Natasha will always check up on my relationship with Bucky, always making me blush. I can talk to her about anything and everything and she never gets bored with me.

After I’m done eating I head to the roof. I walk on the edge, the wind whips through my hair with my cape flying behind me. Looking down at the city below I let that familiar warm feeling flood out. Instead of directing it towards something else I put it on myself. Then I step off the edge and look down and see that I’m not falling.
