She's Got a Temper || Wanda Maximoff || Natasha Romanoff ||

Chapter 19

2025- Wakanda

"Sorry, sorry, I know I'm late!" I yelled as I entered the lab and Shuri gave me a displeased look.

"You better have a good excuse and I mean good, it's been over 45 min-"

"Natasha and I finally got together? Is that good enough?" Shuri's eyes widened with joy as she jumped up with excitement.

"When?!"

"2 nights ago..." I said while scratching the back of my head nervously.

"Is that why I haven't seen you for 2 days?" I nodded.

"You sly dog, god I'm so happy, okay let's get this show on the road so you can get back to your girl." Shuri patted the examination table indicating for me to lay down.

I did as I was told and laid back on the table. I closed my eyes while I listened to Shuri count backwards from 5. Soon enough I was taken back to the blank white space I always met Phoenix Jean in and waited patiently.

"You know, I enjoy our weekly chats. Makes me feel loved." Phoenix Jean came out of nowhere and I rolled my eyes.

"Can you even feel love?"

"No but an entity can dream." Phoenix Jean smirked.

In another split second the white room became the Avengers Compound lab again and I took a seat in my usual chair.

"Anyway, did you have an eventful week? Finally sleep with the sexy redhead, what's her name?"

"Natasha." I said with a growl.

"Easy tiger, I was just curious, you don't need to divulge. I can respect your privacy. Kind of."

"Look, I'm actually in a good mood today, try not to be so insufferable will you?" I asked in a harsh tone, harsher than I expected but I didn't really care. Phoenix Jean was already annoying me.

"I could tell with that tone."

"The sarcasm isn't appreciated either." I snapped.

"You really don't like it when I bring up Natasha huh? Well just a quick pro-quo whenever your eyes turn red, I'm present so you catch my drift? I know you fucked the redhead, honestly I'm kind of proud-" I lost it a little and punched Phoenix Jean across the face.

"Do not speak of her in that manner."

"Well, what I was gonna say is I like her, she thinks our powers are 'beautiful'." Phoenix Jean said with a laugh while mocking Natasha's words from the first night.

"Don't be a dick."

"Fine, I know you love her, I'll back off." Phoenix Jean conceded to my surprise. Maybe Shuri's work was actually affecting her, maybe she was getting pushed to the farthest corner of my subconscious.

"That's all I ask."

"Yeah, yeah I just like it when we get along, which we have been doing for the last 8 months. I feel like these therapy sessions work, we air our differences, you punch me if you need too. It's kinda nice." I rolled my eyes at her condescending tone.

"I wouldn't call them therapy sessions, I would call them making sure you're not doing shady shit" Phoenix Jean feigned fake hurt.

"I would never, besides I need you to live so why would I piss you off? You've kinda grown on me Wolvie."

"Great." I said sarcastically.

"Hey, the sooner you accept that we're a team now the better, I leave you and your life alone but when it comes to showcasing our powers, that's all us baby."
