"Wands," I whispered as we lay in the darkness of a dodgy motel in the town next to Sokovia.

She hummed and ran her hand up and down my spine slowly.

"I'm really sorry," I told her quietly.

"I know," she replied, moving to flick the light on and then turning to look at me, "I can't lose you Y/N."

"You're not going to lose me," I said slowly, "I didn't mean to do that to you, I- I didn't want to do that."

She nodded, "I can't even be mad at you ... I'm upset and worried about you. I love you Y/N, I don't care what's happened to you, what you've done ... I love all of you."

"I love you too," I mumbled, "can we move past this please."

She nodded, "if you promise me that you won't ever do that again. If you ever feel like that, I want you to talk to me."

"Okay," I agreed, "I am really sorry."

"Yeah," she smiled sadly, kissing my head, "where are we going next then?"

"I don't know," I admitted, "I have no idea where to even start."

"We have one book," she said out loud, "one book that talks about what we need it to."

"We've done Kamar-Taj, London, Sokovia, New York ... I don't know what else to try," I groaned.

"Have you ever heard of Anatolia?" she asked me.

I shook my head and looked up at her.

"It's the first ever city, it's in Turkey ... I figured if we were looking for information on something that outdates the written word; what a better place to try?" she raised.

I nodded slowly, "it's worth a go I guess."

"Y/L/N and Maximoff world tour," she smiled softly.

I gave her a weak smile and kissed her shoulder, "so we're going to Turkey."

"In the morning," she added, "we've had a very long day and right now, we're going to sleep."

I nodded in agreement and took a few deep breaths, "I love you, Wanda."

"I love you too," she whispered, kissing the crown of my head, "don't ever scare me like that again."

"Welcome to Anatolia," Wanda spoke, holding onto my hand and looking down at the ruins of the first-ever city.

"Come on," I whispered, pulling her down the hill and through the old buildings, "where do we start?"

She dropped my hand and closed her eyes, taking a deep breath and then opening them again a moment later.

"There's a temple in the middle of the city," she told me, "I think that's our best bet."

I smiled proudly and nodded my head, "lead the way Maximoff."

She created a small ball of energy between her fingers, keeping her eyes open and moving slowly, letting me follow behind her. I followed her action and drew a small ball of energy in my hand. We walked through the ruins and the crumbled buildings, carefully walking over the stones and looking down every road until we reached the temple in the centre of the city. Wanda slowed down and linked her hand with mine, creating a joint wall of energy around us, drawing both of our abilities together.

"There must be a library inside," I whispered as we walked up the steps and reached the already-open door.

She nodded, "this city has been uninhabitable for hundreds of years ... any library that's here is probably empty."
