Maybe Not in this Universe (A Wanda Maximoff Fanfic)

3

You saw a different kind of Wanda when you visited Universe 489. You and Stephen were only tasked to secure the relic of a sacred book that has been stolen by witches and wizards across the world.

Wong sent you two because he knew Stephen was dead in said universe and you didn't exist, making you two perfect parties to finish the task.

Which you only found out wrong when you bumped into Wanda on the street as you went to search for the fried ice cream that was rumored to be savory before going back, leaving Stephen at a coffee shop to wait for you.

"Y/n," she called, her eyes in disbelief as she stared right at you. "How? How are you here? Are you real?"

Wanda's hair was slightly auburn, shorter than your Wanda's. But her piercing green eyes looked just the same. And you couldn't tear away from admiring her.

You couldn't even manage to speak, with failed attempts to voice out her name.

Then you were suddenly engulfed in a tight embrace as Wanda arms went around you, burying her face against your chest, as if smelling you would prove to her she wasn't hallucinating.

"Oh my god, you're real, you're actually here," Wanda said, looking up at you, her smile reaching her ears and tears starting to form around her eyes.

Then she kissed you.

The first kiss you had with Wanda Maximoff. A Wanda from another universe.

And it was so magical that you found yourself kissing back.

It was as if you'd really known each other for so long. Her lips were as soft and her taste was as delicious as you imagined them to be. And you couldn't find yourself to stop as the kiss deepened, her arms snaking around your neck while yours around her waist.

When you both needed to breathe, she gently pushed away and chuckled then bit her lower lip, refusing to laugh like she was going crazy. "How are you here?"

"What?" You were still lost from all the kissing, leaning forward to catch her lips once more.

"Y/n," she said, lifting your gaze to look back into her teary eyes. "Y/n, you died."

You died in this universe. Maybe Wong was partly right after all.

When you were about to ask how you died, Stephen pulled you towards him and away from a confused Wanda.

"Y/n, how many times have I told you to keep our missions strictly business." He was eyeing Wanda as if he could make her go away. But it only made her angry.

She pulled you back and pleaded. "Please don't leave me again. Please... Y/n..."

And you never thought it could hurt this much.

But Stephen had already pulled you back with him. And you didn't even get to say your goodbye.

After that mission, you couldn't stop thinking about her. About Wanda in Universe 489. Even in your dreams, she had invaded them. The same Wanda variant.

And the thought made you more mad than before as you saw Wanda and Vision in front of you making out. The one that's supposed to be your Wanda.

You tried to push the feelings away before making a big deal out of it. You were only in a mission. You shouldn't risk the rules of multiverses and their order. Stephen avoided having missions with you after that incident. He settled with a younger girl instead who could also travel through the multiverse.

Of course, you couldn't travel back without the help of Stephen or Wong. You need the magic scroll containing the list of universes and the respective spells to use to travel.
