THE SCARLET WITCH AND THE MADNESS (BOOK 2) (FINISHED)

I'M SORRY

    Wanda and Erik arrive at a nursing home.

"Why did we come here?" she asked

"You want to see Steve Rogers?"

Wanda looked at him in confusion, and nodded

"Then come with me"

They went inside, Wanda wondered if Steve Rogers worked here or what?

"Wait a minute, I have to talk to the nurse" Erik said

She nodded

Erik then left Wanda and walked over to a nurse. Erik spoke in whispers to the nurse.

It wasn't long before Erik returned to Wanda "Come on" He put his arm around Wanda's shoulder and led her to the back garden

"Why are we here?" she asked

"You want to see him? That's him" Erik pointed at an old man who was sitting alone.

Wanda walked slowly "oh no" Her eyes started to tear up.

The closer Wanda got to the man, the clearer his face became.

Wanda saw a figure she knew so well, she saw Steve Rogers, but he was different. He was covered in wrinkles, and his hair was gray, his gaze blank and confused, he sat alone.

"Excuse me, Captain Rogers," Wanda called, quietly

The old man turned to her, he was confused "do I know you?" he asked

"Yes. I mean no, not really. My name is Wanda bye the way" Wanda stammered

Steve frowned "young lady, is there something you want to say?" he asked

Wanda was silent, she daydreamed for a while, until she realized a few seconds later "can I sit?"

Old Steve nods "if you're comfortable"

Wanda sat next to Steve, for a few moments they both remained silent until Wanda spoke up

"You know me" He said

"Hah?" Steve confused "I don't think so"

"No. You know me, well. It was you who saved me, gave me a home, and a new life, being an understanding mentor and always helping me in difficult times" Wanda's eyes started to tear up "my life became difficult when you decided to leave" Her voice began to tremble "I turned into a monster, and I did a very big mistake to you. I'm sorry"

Steve paused confused, he then smiled "Young lady... Whatever mistakes you made, I don't remember. So it doesn't matter" Steve then took Wanda's hand and held it tightly "when we turn into people we don't recognize, it's not entirely our fault. Sometimes circumstances force you, and no one understands how tired you are of pain." Steve then looked at Wanda affectionately "whatever it is, you have your reasons. And if you're here to apologize, it's not necessary. I'm sure a good girl like you becomes a monster like you say, there must be a reason behind everything" Steve stroked head Wanda

Tears rolled down her cheeks "Thank you"

"My pleasure"

"Goodbye Steve"

"Goodbye Wanda"
