Y/n pov

"Can't you let me have my wedding evening instead of running around trying to save me" i say as soon as we are almost walking out at the castle's big gates.

"Not when you're still not telling me the whole story"

"What are you talking about?"

"You lied, you said he was human, the man you told me about" her voice is hushed as guards pass our hiding place behind one of the columns.

"I didn't lie, i never said he was human" i defend my actions.

"So he isn't human?"

"Not entirely, no"

"Then what is he?"

"Lycanthrope"

"You can't be serious? A werewolf? You're saying they exist?"

"Is she asking the vampire" i sign angrily. "If one exist, the other does to"

"What more are out there? Witches, sirens, dragons?"

"You're a witch Wanda, and you're standing in Asgard, the palace of gods and you doubt the existence of mythical creatures" she stares at me in disbelief and anger of her own. "But you'll have to travel far for dragons, last i heard they'd died out"

"Now you're just making me sound stupid"

"You're doing that all by yourself" i take a deep breath to release some of that anger. "I'm prophesied, but i would call it a curse"

"How?"

"When i first got here i heard of a curse bestowed on a pair of twins. It wasn't until Frigga took me to the cave that i found out that me and Bucky are those twins"

"So you're cursed, there are easy ways to break a curse" She can't be that naive.

"This ain't a fairytale that can be solved with true love's kiss Wanda, this ends with blood and death."

"Tell me"

"No"

"Tell me" she says more angrily, using invisible hands to back me up against the column. And as soon as the words are about to come out of my mouth the voice is no longer mine and my eyes get clouded.

"On the darkest night in wartime twins will be born, one out of good and the other out of evil, two sides of a coin. One will serve to be a hero while the other will be one with the darkness and become a monster to die at it's natural enemy" my breath comes back and my eyes go back to normal, as well as my control over my own voice. Wanda seems almost unfaced by that.

"Bucky is no hero of light"

"He served in the army and gave his life for America, so he was a hero of light. And now he fights side by side with the Avengers"

"You were in the army as well Y/n, you've been a surgeon and saved hundreds of people"

"But i've always had a pull of darkness, and then i became the monster, a bloodthirsty killer, my true self. And i will die at the hands of my natural enemy, a wolf"

"Why don't you kill him instead?"

"It's fated Wanda, if he scratches me or bites me i will die and he will gladly give his life to do so. It'll be instinct doing it"

"How do you know that's him?"

"I could smell it of him, his grandfather was a cellmate of mine and the person assigned to kill me if i went rouge after the transformation"

"So you broke him out, so she wouldn't kill you"

"I didn't know he was destined to kill me so no, i did it out of kindness"

"Show me the cave"

"No" i say angry as a door opens behind us and the music flows out into the hall.

"Why not?"

"Because it's my wedding day, and i'm not spending it trying to challenge fate" i turn around to see Natasha stand in the doorway. "Let's go back inside" and Natasha doesn't say a word as i take her hand and lead her back inside. But she is wished away again by people wanting to dance with her. So make my way back to the table to watch her, my wife. Wanda also comes back into the ballroom, keeping an eye on me but from the other side of the room. I'm so focused on keeping my mind somewhere else that i almost miss when Natasha's voice echoes in my head.

"Is everything okay?"

"Yeah, why wouldn't it be?"

"I don't know, you seemed off and you were arguing with Wanda again" it's almost as if she's insinuating that there's something between us.

"It's nothing you need to worry about right now" and before she can answer again, Tony appears on my side and drags me into a long conversation about how good he was at planning the wedding.

"I am sad thought that you didn't choose the one with the engravings, they were my favourites"

"I'm sorry but living a long life means having different names. But i kinda love these, they represent us very well" i look at the ring with it's sparkles of red. "And the infinity signs are perfect"

"That's good, but i think you should have seen Nat's original dress. It was marvellous"

"Yeah, but apparently there was a mishap and it ripped"

"Unfortunate" he says with a carefree laugh. "Thanks, by the way"

"For what?"

"For bringing Pepper" he says, looking over at the laughing woman dancing with Thor.

"I wanted to get to know her more, she seems like my type" and he gives me a light punch on my shoulder. "I didn't mean it like that, but she's my best friends girlfriend after all"

"I'm your best friend?"

"Yeah, well my other two best friends are kinda dead and then there's Loki, so yes, you are one of my best friends" he laughs, making me laugh as well.

"Will you be moving out of the tower?"

"Eventually, i mean. We can't exactly live there forever" and he knows what i'm referring to. I told him of our plans as soon as i got here, and he was more than thrilled because it would make us both happy. Even though i'm still hoping that it won't happen. Because there are two roads to this fate. One where she turns and i die within the upcoming years and live a few hundred years alone or, one where i die before she can turn and she can live out a human life with the ones she cares for.

"In that case, i have the perfect house for you. It's just on the outside of New York, so it's still close to us"

"No need to rush Tones, we'll take it when we're ready to leave you all"

In the end, it's only us (Natasha x readerWhere stories live. Discover now
