love hate relationship

about her

by the time i had gotten changed nat was gone. from the room her phone, headphones, water and running shoes were all missing .

i walked out of her room looking around for something to do when i see wanda sitting in the living room, legs crossed on the couch the dick van dyke show playing on starks massive tv.

"hey wanda" i say coming in from the side with a water i had grabbed from the fridge. she looks over to me and i can see it in her eyes she was sad.

"hey" she said quietly going back to watching her show. i took a seat across from her trying to remember what she had told me about this show.

from what i gathered this show somehow connects to her childhood considering it was an old show. assuming it is maybe her twin brother pietro and her used to watch it. that would explain her emotions.

a couple hours later and it was late afternoon around 5pm. wanda had said she was going to take a nap about an hour ago so i moved to sit on the balcony outside.

the sunset over new york was almost as nice as the sunrise i had witnessed this morning.

however this time the world was much more alive. instead of people just waking up and heading to work it was rush hour.

people just finishing work rushing to get home to their families or even just their pets.

"out here again y/l/n" i head maximoff say from behind me.

"hey wanda"

she takes a seat next to me. and her mood seems worse then before.

"how are you" i ask giving her my attention but not so much she feels pressured and or overwhelmed.

"it's our birthday tomorrow" she said with a gloomy expression. "the first he's not here to celebrate"

i look over and she has tears streaming down her face. they were silent tears something i can tell was forced.

i wrap my arms around the young sokovian hoping to provide atleast a little comfort. i saw her as a little sister someone i had to protect but also easy to talk to and hang out with. even if i had just met her.

"clint's the only one that knows. he's coming tomorrow he said to deliver a gift but i know he just wants to check up on me which i appreciate" i nodded in response.

"only clint?, what about vis or steve hell natasha" she laughs a bit a the last one

"natasha. no she messes around with the boys. we talk but i think she's still mad at me deep down" 

"so no only girl avenger bond" i question she just shrugged finally sitting up.

"nat keeps to herself a lot. the most we usually see her is meetings, party's and when she's training. sometimes she comes and sits in the main area and hang around the avengers other times she joins peter for a movie but that's about it" wanda explains.

something is definitely up with natasha. i know her enough to know that she's either dealing with something which wouldn't surprise me considering what i found in her bathroom or she's up to something.

but no way she's working for the red room still that would be absurd. plus she was the first to get out.

"what about at meal times" this would be my final clue. nat was very regular with how she did things.

she had a routine and always stuck to it. we were forced into it in the redroom all forced to do the same thing everyday. who's to say she changed that.

"she comes out for a coffee every morning, she will come to the kitchen every now and again throughout the day but mostly skips eating with the team."  i nodded. i'll have to watch nat tomorrow but i think i know how she's doing now.

she wakes up. goes to the kitchen for coffee. she will grab a water and go on a run. that's how she starts the day.

throughout the day is a mix of training. hiding in her room. grabbing something to eat and then her daily socialising.

in the evening she will stay in her room most likely until it's dark and everyone's gone to bed. after then i don't know what she does.

natasha was suspicious.

steering the conversation back to their birthdays. i start to ask more about her then the red head.

"we always did this thing in our birthday. we didn't have a lot of money but it worked one day a year" the witch smiles at the memory but doesn't elaborate on what they did. there little thing i guess.

"i can drive you to visit your brother tomorrow if you'd like. i know you don't have a license. i don't have to stay. you can just talk to him"
