Maximoff Theory (WandaxFtmreader)

Chapter 29

ATHENA'S POV

After you brought Y/N to the medical ward you decided to go back to the guest house, you were sharpening your blades when you hear a knock on the door. To your surprise it's Yelena, you open the door to let her in.

"Aren't you supposed to be with Y/N?" You ask.

"Wanda wanted some time alone with him, I think she deserves it since it's always being ripped away from her. Can I ask you a question?"

"Sure."

"Is this what being a god is constantly like, the chaos and death?" She questions.

"In a way yes, maybe not this intense but... There's an unspoken rule amongst gods, don't fall in love, especially with a mortal."

"Why?"

"Love is painted as this only positive emotion, but it's so painful. Wars are caused because of love and the need to protect who or what that army loves. I've seen a lot of wars, growing up and being the god I am today. One thing that always remains the same is this feeling amongst soldiers taking their last breath, most think it's the fear of death but no it's the thought of never being able to see the person they love again, never being able to hear their laugh or see their smile. I feel that pain, being shot a hundred times is less painful."

"Have you ever been in love?" She asks.

"No, I choose to not open myself up to that vulnerability. Have you ever been in love?"

"I never had the time to love, ever since I was a kid it's always been work. Nobody wants to fall in love with an avenger because they are either scared of them or scared of losing them. Sometimes I dream about being in love, now and then I feel like I might be falling in love." Your heart begins to beat faster.

"With who?"

"The people who don't want to fall in love." Your face burns red like the embers of Hell, you don't know what is happening to you. Her words are like arrows raining down from the sky breaking your defensive line. Her hand moves closer to yours softly grazing it until you allow her to hold it. Your breath gets shallow and quick as she closes the space between you, her eyes inches away from yours. You choose to close the inches between your lips, both of your lips graze each other softly. Her hand moves to your waist as your mouths are intertwined, you pull away scared to let yourself get any more vulnerable with her. You run upstairs leaving her standing in the foyer alone in shock.

A FEW HOURS LATER

You lay in your bed staring at the ceiling, the feeling of her lips still tingling on yours. Your mind replays the event over and over again only to be broken by Hermes barging into your room with a panicked look painted on his face. You jump out of bed.

"What's wrong?" You ask.

"It's Y/N, he's in this trance. It's the trance."

"Shit." You run with him out of the house to where Y/N is.

Y/N'S POV

"Archelaus, come on out you cunt." You demand, a figure emerges from the shadows. You see the man who is your brother sport an evil grin as he comes closer to you.

"Honestly didn't think it would take you this long." He says with a soft chuckle.

"You should know this didn't end well for your other siblings." You try to summon your swords but nothing happens.

"Oh don't you get it? This is my realm, I control everything. Your body is currently in a trance while everyone you love tries to awaken you, don't worry I won't threaten their lives like my idiot siblings. I don't need to make you weak to kill you, I can kill you already."

"Then do it! I am tired of this, I am tired of seeing the people I love have to worry if I will live or die. End it!" You say holding back tears.

"Really?"

"I don't care anymore, kill me. Do the dirty work for Zeus, let him control you."

"He's not controlling me!" He yells.

"Did I strike a nerve? You are only standing here because of him, he fears me and what I can do to his reign. Whatever power he promised you, it's bullshit. That man lies, and for some reason, you are too gullible to see he is using you. He wanted me to kill your siblings, maybe he wants me to kill you. I'm done with killing, I'm done with killing for him." You step closer to your brother noticing the dagger he holds, you expected the scourge.

"You're wrong, I might not physically hurt the people you love but I am going to enjoy the pain they feel when they watch as your life leaves your body."

"They will get over it, they know I'll have done it for the right reason. I pity you, they will kill you if Zeus doesn't first."

"The mortals?"

"You gods look at love like it's a curse, a weakness, you're wrong it is the most powerful thing both god and mortal can wield. Wanda is more powerful than any god, she will rip you and everything you know to shreds and make you watch. So I don't fear death, I know that justice will prevail even if that means the pain will wash over the ones I love."

"You have too much confidence in them brother."

"You will see... So kill me!" You step into his blade causing it to almost puncture your heart, you whisper into his ear.

"You and Zeus will die the same cowards you are right now." You feel the pressure of the blade plunge into your heart, the sharp pain expanding from your center. As he removes the blade you fall to the floor, blood washing over your body. You never break eye contact with your brother showing him you are not afraid of what lies ahead, in the moments of the last breaths you manage to say one final thing.

"I was loved..." You slowly close your eyes shedding a single tear as you realize you will never see Wanda again, even worse you think of the pain she will feel when she realizes your heart no longer beats. You didn't want to be another person she loved who was lost in the cruel battle of power and hatred, but you know more than anything your love for her will not die with you. You feel yourself fade into the abyss as your brother walks away from your body.
