Maximoff Theory (WandaxFtmreader)

Chapter 27

Y/N'S POV

You wake up to an empty bed, you assume Wanda has already left for breakfast so you get changed and head out. When you look at your watch you see that you slept in and it is training time, you hurry out of the elevator to the gym. Everyone is already training and you are the last to arrive, you see Wanda showing Athena her powers. You sometimes forget how powerful Wanda is, she is the closest a mortal can get to god-like powers. You sense the sorrowful tone over the crowd, you know today is Illyana's funeral. You've never been to a proper funeral but everyone else here has. You try to table that thought as you need to learn the full scope of your powers. Athena walks over to you grabbing your arm and bringing you outside, you are confused by this.

"What are you doing?" You ask her.

"If you try to use your powers in there then the floorplans are going to have a new floor." She smirks.

"Right, so what do you want me to do?"

"Well, we know you got your swords from your mother along with your wings, however gold wings are basically unheard of in the god world. You also have the power to make portals know every bad thing a person has done and super strength."

"That's a lot..." You say in shock.

"I don't even think that is all, that's why I want to run some tests."

"What kind of tests?"

"Well I want to see if you can summon any other weapons, also your brother, the psychotic one has been known to get into people's heads."

"I don't want to get into people's heads, my own head is enough already."

"Well, you are going to have to do a lot of things you don't want to if you want to win this war. Trust me I know the tragedies war causes." You look down in shame, you feel bad you haven't thought about what Athena was going through.

"Let's just hope this war doesn't have any more casualties because of you." She says you are shocked by this comment.

"What?" You ask.

"I didn't say anything?" She responds, you don't push it, and decide to continue training.

"Now your brother Archelaus has the power to enter your mind and warp it into a life where you lose everyone and everything. This tends to drive people to suicide, so we don't want that. He uses it for bad but you can use it to not cause death if that is what you want."

"I'd prefer if that was the last resort." She nods and you practice with the powers you do know how to control.

LATER THAT DAY

It's almost time for the funeral so you reside in your room getting ready, Wanda gets ready with you. You button up your white shirt, and you place your black blazer over it. You go to do your tie but you keep failing at tying it. Wanda walks up to you flicking her finger in a motion that ends with your tie done correctly, her telekinesis could do anything.

"You look good." She says with a soft smile as she buttons your blazer.

"So do you." She's in a simple black dress, her hair the only color she is sporting.

"I've never been to a funeral before." You say nervously.

"It's not as bad as you'd think, just breathe it will all be fine." She takes your hand and leads you downstairs to the car that will take you to the reception. The black car waits for you at the entrance, you know it is a huge risk leaving the wards but you are willing to make it for Illyana. When you arrive there are new people you haven't met sitting in the chairs adjacent to the empty coffin.

"Who are they?" You whisper to Wanda.

"Her old team, the new mutants." You sit down next to Yelena and Wanda sits next to you, the service starts. After a few eulogies, it is your turn, you walk up to the podium and pull out the crumpled paper containing the speech you wrote. The ink is smudged, to make it worse it starts to rain.

"Um, hi, I'm Y/N. I didn't know Illyana as long as some of you but I wish I did, she wasn't like the rest, she didn't have a filter or an off button. Most people would look at that as a bad thing but I didn't, I always knew she was telling me the truth because of this." You start to tear up. "If you didn't know Illyana you would have thought she was a bitch." Some of the crowd gasps. "She wasn't, underneath all that cold demeanor was a loving person. She was the first person I met who knew what I went through, that's rare. She didn't judge me, she didn't judge my mistakes, and she didn't deserve to die."

"Well, then you should have saved her as you did for Wanda." You hear one of the new mutants say. You freeze, eventually, the shame of this causes you to run off into the graveyard. The mud stains your pant legs and the rain causes you to slip down a hill. Your body and head hit the branches on the way down eventually your back hits a rock causing you to stop falling. It's darker than how it was at the service, the fog coats the woods. You look around to no avail, you can't see five feet in front of you the fog is that thick. You hear a voice, it's Illyana.

"You did this to me, everyone blames you. Why didn't you save me?" You look for the voice only to be shocked when her decaying corpse jumps out toward you. You fall back onto the ground covering your face with your arms, you refuse to open your eyes until you feel a hand gently graze your forearm. You open your eyes to Athena.

ATHENA'S POV

You sit in the back of the funeral, you don't want to take the good seats as you didn't really know this girl. You make a choice to be there for protection, you never know what will be thrown at you. Y/N is on the podium saying his eulogy, after a while of talking he freezes. This confuses everyone, after a few seconds he runs away from the service into the wet woods. You and others stand up but you are the first to run after him, you see him fall down a hill into the deep woods. You hurry down to see him in a ball covering his face, you approach him slowly making sure to let him know it's okay. You softly touch his arm to let him know you are there, he removes his arm and opens his eyes. His face was covered in relief, it was almost like he was expecting someone else, someone bad. He stands up and hugs you, this never happens but you don't stop it. You help him up the hill and to the car with Eros and Hermes. The others are still at the service so you return to let them know he is okay.

"Is he okay?" A worried Wanda asks.

"I mean he has a few scrapes because he fell down a hill, but..."

"But what?" Yelena questions.

"Somethings off, this morning he froze and then acted like I said something. He did it again here, running off as if something horrible happened. When I got to him his face was riddled in fear, he opened his eyes to expect someone that wasn't any of us."

"Well, trauma can cause weird behavior," Natasha says.

"That is true." You agree, you all make your way back to the cars to go back to the facility. You get in the same car you left Y/N in, he's silent and shut down. Wanda joins you guys and he instantly melts into her arms.
