Worth Fighting For| B. Barnes

~Gone with the Wind~

Ivory sat intensely watching out the window as everything that had been going on. There was something about knowing her father was somewhere out there was scary for her to think about but she continued to stay silent and wait for his return.

Wanda observed Ivory staring out the window and saw the girl had been shaking, and fiddling with her necklace obviously filled with fear.

"Hey..." Wanda whispered to the girl crouching down beside her.

"Hey..." Ivory says not looking at Wanda.

"Wanna hold my hand?" Wanda asks hoping to offer the girl some sort of comfort during a scary time. Wanda gently held her hand out to the girl, as another eerie red glow crept from her palm.

"Yeah..." Ivory said placing her small shaky hand into Wanda's.

"Don't look outside, look at me..." Wanda says making sure Ivory's back was turned to the window, and that the little girl had been looking at her. She didn't mean to begin reading into Ivory's mind but she wanted to help distract Ivory from the world ending chaos going on right before her eyes.

"It's okay to be afraid...Think happy thoughts little one..." Wanda whispered.

"I-I want this to day to be over so I can see my Dad..." Ivory whispered.

"It's okay...it will all be over soon..." Wanda says looking around Ivory to see what was going on outside.

Upon looking out the window, Wanda saw these horrific vehicles begin to decimate her friends and the Wakandans that fought along side them, and she knew she had to do something. Wanda let's go of Ivory's hand and began heading out of the lab to go help everyone.

"Wait!" Ivory says following Wanda, grabbing her by her jacket.

"Please don't leave..." Ivory pleaded with Wanda unable to bare the feeling of losing another person she thought she could trust.

"Ivory, come back! Stay where I can see you!" Ayo called out from her spot by the Spiraling ramp. Ayo saw the girl tried to follow Wanda out the door and immediately ushered the girl back over to where the rest of the Dora Milaje had been in position, guarding Shuri.

"Where's she going Yayo?" Ivory asks.

"She's going to help Wakanda..." Ayo says taking Ivory's hand protectively in hers.

Back on the Battlefield, Okoye and Natasha had been tag teaming against one of the deadly beasts.

Just when the two women thought they had their hands tied with the creature, they turned around and saw several blade shaped vehicles heading towards them. Before the destructive spirals could come close to them, Wanda sprung into action and used her powers to turn the devices against Thanos' army of soldiers and creatures.

Okoye was amazed at what Wanda could do with her powers.

"Why was she up there all this time?" Okoye says to Nat realizing they definitely could have used Wanda's help sooner.

As helpful as it was for Wanda to tap in, her actions definitely had consequences. Once she was caught on the field an agent of Thanos put a word out to the rest of their fighters that Vision was basically fair game with Wanda out of the way. They knew how powerful Wanda was and couldn't resist drawing her from hiding.

"She's on the field..." Proxima says into her wrist. "Take it now."
