"So Y/n." said Wanda who was wearing a pink wig

"What witch." I said while laughing at how the wig looked on her

"Wanna talk about what what happened to you? You don't have to go through this alone you know." she said looking at me with concerns in her eyes

"You don't have to tell me, I can leave." said Natasha as she started to stand up and leave

"Hey wait.....stay.....please." I said to her as she sat back down on the blankets that were on the floor and I put my head on her lap as she played with my hair.

"Whenever you're ready." Wanda says walking over and sitting closer to us.

I take a deep breath, the weight of my past heavy on my shoulders.

Natasha glances at Wanda, concern in her eyes. Wanda nods, silently encouraging you to continue.

"When I was just 8, my dad, whose name I don't even know, left. It was a confusing time. My mom, she battled depression, and, well, she didn't make it." I sat up and explained.

A somber silence fills the room, and Natasha's gaze softens.

"I can't imagine what that must have been like for you." She said.

"It was isolating. I think I had a brother. But some puny god made me forget him." I continued

"At my lowest, he came, appeared. He kidnapped me, took me to a place beyond imagination. Some planet or something. I became a slave for 5 years, imprisoned for 7 more."

Natasha's eyes narrow, sensing the gravity of your words.

Natasha frowns and says "That's a nightmare. How did you get out?"

"It wasn't easy. Small moments kept me going, like stories shared by my fellow prisoners. I gained powers from a goddess in that prison, which became a glimmer of hope in the darkness. But getting out didn't make it better."

Wanda's expression is a mix of empathy and Curiosity.

"Powers from a goddess? That sounds incredible. What are they?"

"Control of every single element power of creation and destruction, manipulation of energy and matter. Let's not forget my immunity to physical injury and immortality. Which makes it less likely for this nightmare to end."

The room is filled with a heavy silence, the weight of my journey sinking in.

I paused, my eyes reflecting a mixture of pain and resilience "I could have a purpose right? I'm not a total mess am I?" I paused and continued "I've asked myself those questions for years. Tried to convince myself. But every single time I think I'm not a total waste new questions pop up in my head."

I didn't even notice I was crying when I said "If you really mattered why would they all leave?"

"Oh Y/n." Nat says and looks at Wanda who is looking at me with sorrow in her eyes.

"But I met Strange and you guys." I pointed putting a smile back on my face as they smiled back at me "you guys wanna know the funniest thing..." I continued to tell them a funny story that happened with me and strange and we laughed the night away.
