It didn't seem like Wanda had feelings to others.It wasn't because she was purposely trying to hide them away but it was because she didn't know how to express them.
She had always been the quiet type,only spoke when needed and hid in her room most of the time.You had picked up on the small details,it interested you-she had such a big reputation but made herself almost invisible.
You two weren't that close.It was hard for anyone to interact with her-she would end the conversation short and disappear somewhere else quickly.You didn't blame her,the avengers had always made her feel uncomfortable.
On rare days,Wanda would capture you a small glance or would give you a small smile before going away again.
Even though she was apart of the team,they made her feel excluded and it wasn't hard to miss.It made you angry with the way they treated her.The others knew how hard it was for her to open up but they just kept pushing.

Everything has a limit. And if you go beyond that limit-you'll eventually see the effect it had.
Some people were easier to break than others,Wanda was one of the harder ones.
But the avengers had finally succeeded at getting her to show emotion.But it wasn't the nice kind,they had made her break down in tears and run away back into the dark.
"(Y/n) could you please get Wanda to come out of her room?it's an important matter."Natasha comes up to your side and whispers in your ear.
You nod. Just following orders as normal and get up from were you sat.The hallways were always empty,all you could hear was the sound of your feet against the hard wooden floor.
Wanda's room was coming up. Bracing yourself,you knocked on her door.It was silent for a moment,before she had made a small gap and peaked her head through.
"Hey Wanda..we need you downstairs."you took a step back thinking she would open the door."for what?"she was tempted to shut the door and go back to whatever she had been doing."t-they didn't tell me but they said it was an important matter."
"Fine just...give me a minute."she spoke quickly and slammed the door causing a small jump from you.
Weird.
It didn't take too long for her. You heard a lot of shuffling and things being moved around- but you didn't want to be nosy, so you kept to yourself.
The door opened slightly and after a minute, Wanda came through the gap."okay."she sighs and you start to walk off as she follows you.The compound was quiet as usual-but today it was loud.
When Wanda came into view of everyone-they all went silent."hey Wanda."Natasha smiles and offers her a place to sit on the couch.
Tony comes out of the bathroom and makes his way over to everyone, it was rare to have meetings like this."so i should really just get to the point."he says taking a seat.Everyone looked between Wanda and him.
"Wanda.."tony puts his hands together, taking a breath."what?"she looked just as confused as everyone else."it's hard for anyone to take this but.."he takes another deep breath.
"Your off the team."
"W-what? why?"she asks. That was unexpected, no one had ever been kicked off the team before and if now why her? "you don't help out enough-each avenger has a part and you just don't do yours."he sighs and looks everywhere but her, almost as if he was scared of her reaction.
"That's b-bullshit!"she shouts and you flinch slightly. Even though Wanda was putting up a hard stance, you could sense that she was breaking down inside.
"It's not Wanda! I know you've been through a lot and it's finally caught up with you, it's my final decision."he stands up but she wouldn't take that for an answer, she was better than that.
"No! You've made me like this! You can't just kick me off the team!"she was a step away from shouting, tony had stopped walking and turned his head, not fully looking at her."don't make this any worse than it has to be."
"After everything you put me through."her lips tremble and she takes in a deep breath, trying to calm herself."i saved you! If it wasn't for me you'd be dead!"he shouts.
Wanda looks down at everyone and they weren't even acknowledging her.You glanced up at her and when you looked away her eyes where on you."fuck this place." You could see her starting to tear up- all you wanted to do was give her a bone crushing hug.
Everyone could hear her starting to cry as she ran out the front door."are you happy now?"you finally stand up. "Excuse me?" Tony had his hands on his hips, looking at you in disbelief. "You really need to take your own advice."
"You know what? Your off the team too!"he shouts and walks off somewhere else. The avengers had given you the same treatment as Wanda, heads turned and giving you the silent treatment.
You didn't think another second, you were already out the door.Just being able to capture a glimpse of Wanda going into the forest.
Your feet had already started to take off in her direction, following her into the tall trees.It was dark but you could still make out were everything was faintly,"wanda?"you call out.
No response. That wasn't surprising.
Walking through the forest, you felt yourself tense up as the sounds of animals calling out terrified you."wanda!"you shout again but still nothing.You we're starting to give up and thinking about going back, until you made out a figure sitting down on a fallen down tree.
"Wanda.."you whisper and walk over to the person." what do you want."she speaks her voice laced with coldness." can i sit?"i say, gesturing to the space next to her. " I don't care."
You took that as a yes and sat down- it was uncomfortable and the thought of the many bugs crawling on it made you shiver."he kicked you out too?"she asks with a slight laugh.
"Yeah..something like that." Turning your head to stare at her, you could still make out that she had been crying." im really sorry, you didn't deserve any of that."
"Well who cares...I'm off the team anyways." It went silent and the darkness started to take over the forest."did you bring a flashlight?" Wanda speaks up, finally meeting your eyes." no."
"Of course you didn't." She laughs faintly."why'd you come and find me?" She asks and summons some of her red energy. "I don't know, I just did."
"Did you feel bad." She jokes and you stare in awe at her powers. "yes..i've always disliked Tony- after everything he did."
"Tell me about it, his bomb killed my parents, ive always held resentment towards him after that-"she stops herself and looks away from you." I'm not used to that."
"Opening up?" you finish her sentence. "yeah..your probably the first one to actually speak to me since Pietro."she winced from the name.
"I lost my parents in a house fire."you whisper and she turns her head, not fully looking at you but acknowledging your presence." tough." After a while, she stands up from the tree. "Where are you going?"
"Somewhere- away from here."she fake smiles.
"Wanna come with? You'll get lost in the forest otherwise."
