Wanda felt her heart racing as she reached the end of the hall. Now she just had to make it through the double doors into the main room. She was definitely not one for parties, even if the situation deserved it.

Not even a week ago, Thor had chopped off Thanos's head and retrieved the infinity stones in his gauntlet. They used the time stone to bring back Vision, then they moved on as if nothing had happened.

Then, a day later, a large spaceship arrived. In it held Tony Stark, Spiderman, Doctor Strange (who chose these names?), and a team of aliens who called themselves The Guardians.

It was a celebration. Tony Stark was immediately working on a party to declare victory over Thanos. They had the six infinity stones and could do whatever they needed to do to save the world. But something just wasn't sitting right with Wanda.

For one, having all six infinity stones in one place was just asking for trouble. Countless beings in the world would kill to get their hands on even just one. Having them all at the Avenger's Mansion was definitely putting a target on their back.

Also, Wanda was still trying to process the fact that she murdered her closest friend to protect the fate of the world, only for him to be revived as if nothing had happened.

He didn't seem too phased by this, but he was a machine so Wanda wasn't sure what exactly would phase him.

But now, it was time for a party.

Wanda's outfit was chosen by Natasha Romanoff, who seemed very neutral when it came to this party. She treated it as if it were just another work day, trying to make everyone else happy and keep the peace going. But, she helped Wanda dress up, so Wanda was grateful.

The outfit was a strapless black dress, but the skirt came just down to the knee, a black corset with a butterfly on it over the dress to add design, and a red and black hollow out sweater to add color. Plus black boots.

Natasha was wearing something different, but the colors matched. She wore a black jumpsuit with dark red patterns lining the top part. She also wore dark red heels.

Unfortunately for Wanda, she couldn't just stand there and look pretty. She actually had to enter the main room where everyone was staying and walk down the stairs to join them.

She didn't know how many people were here, but she did know that everyone who assisted in taking down Thanos was invited. So she expected a lot of people to be there.

Wanda sucked in a breath, then she made her way through the double doors.

It opened up to a balcony floor with a simple staircase leading down to the main floor. The staircase sure enough had red carpeting since Tony Stark loved his red carpeting. She walked down, being careful not to trip. A few heads glanced in her direction, since she was one of the later few to arrive, but thankfully everyone returned to their previous conversations and Wanda was able to make it down without anyone saying anything.

"Lady Maximoff!" She heard.

She put on a smile as Thor approached her.

"Hi Thor." She said kindly.

"Why so gloomy? We saved the world! Rejoice!" Thor said, punching her shoulder.

Wanda laughed slightly, ignoring the pain growing in her shoulder.

"I'm just tired. Drained, I guess." Wanda shrugged.

"And that is alright! You should relax and have a drink!" Thor boomed happily.

"I might. Have a good night, Thor." Wanda smiled before making her way to exit.

As much fun as talking to Thor was, she didn't want to have him all to herself. He was much more extroverted and she wanted him to talk to people who were actually excited to be at the party.
