AURORA

Not A Lover

"I have to see this for myself," Clint muttered, a mixture of disbelief and excitement in his voice. He and Kate quickly made their way to Aurora's place, eager to confirm the astonishing rumor.When they arrived, Clint's heart pounded as he knocked on the door.

Natasha opened it, and the moment their eyes met, an emotional silence filled the space."Nat," Clint breathed, his eyes wide with shock and tears welling up. He pulled her into a tight hug, both of them holding on as if afraid to let go.Kate watched, her own emotions swirling.

She had heard so much about Natasha and now seeing her alive was surreal. Aurora, standing in the background, felt a warmth in her heart at the reunion.Pietro appeared next, his usual smirk in place. "Hey, Hawkeye. Long time no see."Clint chuckled, still holding onto Natasha. "Pietro..." He finally pulled back, looking around at the group.

"What happened??"Aurora explained briefly about America's powers and the miraculous return of Natasha and Pietro. Clint listened intently, his mind racing with questions and emotions.Kate, meanwhile, approached Natasha with a smile. "Hi, I'm Kate. It's an honor to finally meet you...alive..."Natasha smiled warmly. "Aurora told me about you, Kate. It's good to meet you too."As the group settled into the living room, the atmosphere became more relaxed, filled with shared stories and laughter.

Yet, Aurora couldn't help but notice Wanda's absence. She hadn't seen her since their argument, and it gnawed at her.Just as she was about to excuse herself to find Wanda, Natasha gently grabbed her arm. "Aurora, let her be for now," she advised softly. "She needs time to process everything."Aurora looked conflicted. "But I don't want her to feel abandoned."Natasha smiled reassuringly. "She won't. Trust me. Sometimes space is the best thing you can give someone."Aurora nodded reluctantly, deciding to heed Natasha's advice.

As the evening continued, Clint and Natasha, reminisced about old times, their laughter filling the room. Kate and Aurora shared a more subdued conversation, talking about the current situation and their concerns.

Meanwhile, Wanda wandered through the nearby park, her thoughts a tangled web of emotions. She loved Aurora and couldn't bear the thought of losing her, but the presence of Natasha complicated everything. As the night grew darker, she found herself feeling more isolated and confused.

Back at the house, Natasha kept a close eye on Aurora, sensing her unease. She knew that Aurora's heart was now between her and Wanda,making her approach more difficult.

Eventually, as the evening wound down, Clint and Kate prepared to leave. "We'll be back soon," Clint promised, hugging Natasha tightly once more. "Take care of each other."Kate smiled warmly at Aurora. "If you need anything, just call."Aurora nodded gratefully. "Thank you, both of you."As the door closed behind them, Aurora's thoughts turned back to Wanda. She hoped that with time and understanding, they could find a way to navigate their complex feelings and come out stronger on the other side. Natasha, sensing Aurora's worry, pulled her into a comforting embrace. "You worry to much detka," she whispered. "You're probably right, she'll talk to me..."

The next day, as the sun climbed higher in the sky, America and Doctor Strange arrived at the park where Wanda had been spending her time. They had sensed the upheaval in the universes and knew they had to talk to her.

Wanda, lost in thought, didn't notice them approaching until America called out to her. "Wanda!"Startled, Wanda turned to see them standing a few feet away. "America? Stephen? What are you doing here?""We need to talk," Strange said, his tone serious. "It's about Natasha and your brother."Wanda's heart skipped a beat. "What about them?"

America stepped forward. "Since I used my powers, the multiverse has been destabilizing. Universes are beginning to merge and fall apart. I made a mistake, Wanda. I have to fix it."

Wanda's eyes widened with concern. "What do you mean?"Strange took a deep breath. "From what we've been able to gather, we already know that Tony was complaining about being here when he has a family in his universe so he wasn't from this universe, Natasha died here, Pietro too, But only one of them is actually from here. One might be pretending, and the other is from our universe."America added.

" It could be dangerous if they stay here"Wanda felt a cold chill run down her spine. "So, you're saying one of them is an imposter and the other is actually from here? Why didn't I notice, I've messed with the multiverse before..."

Strange nodded. "The multiverse is tricky, you know that. The merging has made it difficult to see clearly. But we need to figure out who's who and why they're here."Wanda looked away, her mind racing. "Aurora and Natasha are back at the house. We need to tell them."

America shook her head. "Not yet. We need to be sure who we're dealing with. If we confront them without proof, it could make things worse."Wanda's heart ached with the weight of the revelation. "What do we do then?"Strange looked at her with determination. "We investigate. We find the truth. And we fix the multiverse before it's too late."America stepped closer, her voice gentle. "We need you, Wanda. Your power and connection to them could be the key to solving this and because Aurora doesn't have her powers and she has a deep connection with one of them so you are our only hope. "I have too" Wanda argued. America placed her hand to Wanda's shoulder. "Not a Lover..."

Wanda nodded slowly, understanding the gravity of the situation. "Alright. Let's do it"As they began to make plans, back at the house, Aurora was growing more anxious. Natasha noticed and gently squeezed her hand. "Everything will be okay, Aurora. Trust me."Aurora smiled weakly, trying to believe her. "I hope so, Natasha. I really do."
