AURORA

I Felt It

Meanwhile, back at the park, Clint found Wanda, deep in conversation with Doctor Strange and America. Clint approached, his curiosity piqued."What's going on here?" he asked, looking between them."We have a problem, Clint," Wanda said quietly. "A multiverse problem."Clint frowned. "What kind of problem?"

Wanda explained everything America and Doctor Strange had told her, about the universes merging and the uncertainty about Natasha and Pietro's true origins.Clint's expression grew serious. "So, we need to figure out who's really from here and who might be an imposter?""Yes," America said. "And we have to do it carefully."

Unbeknownst to them, Kate had followed Clint and was eavesdropping on the conversation. Her eyes widened as she took in the implications of what she was hearing."I'll do whatever I can to help," Clint said, his tone determined."We'll need all the help we can get," Strange agreed. As the group continued to discuss their plan, Kate slipped away, her mind racing. She knew she had to tell Aurora about what she'd overheard.

Kate hurried back to the house, her mind racing with the information she had overheard. She needed to tell Aurora about the potential danger they were all in. As she approached the front door, she slowed down, sensing the tension in the air.

Inside, Natasha and Yelena were sitting together, speaking in hushed tones. Natasha took Yelena's hand, her expression serious. "Yelena, I love her, I still do really but I can't just let her go"

Yelena's eyes widened. "She did first" Natasha shook her head in disagreement. "I told her to"

Natasha sighed, looking down for a moment before meeting Yelena's gaze again. "When I saw a strange light coming out of nowhere I stepped into it without second thought and it brought me here to you, to Aurora..."
Yelena's heart clenched, but she shook her head, determination in her eyes. "I'm sorry but I don't care if Aurora stays with you or not, I don't want to lose you again. I'm here..."

They hugged, holding onto each other tightly.
Outside, Kate entered the house in hurry "Aurora,I need to tell you something!!" She shouted. Aurora appeared from the kitchen observing for a moment Kate."What happened?"Kate paused, noticing the intense look Natasha gave her.
"I-Oh god I forgot...sorry" Aurora just chuckled returning to her phone. After a while, Natasha was sitting on the couch closer to Aurora, their conversation flowing easily. Natasha reached out, touching Aurora's arm gently as they talked, her gestures becoming increasingly affectionate. Aurora smiled, seeming to find comfort in Natasha's presence.

At that moment, the front door opened, and Wanda walked in with Clint. Wanda's eyes immediately locked onto Natasha and Aurora, her heart sinking as she saw Natasha's hand on Aurora's arm. A mix of jealousy and anger surged through her.

Clint sensed Wanda's tension and placed a reassuring hand on her shoulder. "Stay calm," he whispered. "We need to handle this carefully."

Wanda took a deep breath, trying to quell the storm of emotions inside her. She approached the group, her eyes never leaving Natasha and Aurora. "What's going on here?" she asked, her voice strained.

Aurora looked up, her expression brightening at the sight of Wanda. "Wanda, you're back! We were just talking."

Natasha glanced at Wanda, a knowing smile on her lips. "Hey, Wanda. We were just catching up."

Wanda forced a smile, but her eyes betrayed her turmoil. "That's... nice."

As the group settled into the living room, an uncomfortable silence fell over them. Wanda, still feeling the weight of her jealousy and anger, sat close to Aurora but kept her distance from Natasha.

Natasha, sensing the tension, decided to give them some space. "I'm going to get some fresh air," she said, standing up and walking out onto the porch.

Wanda seized the opportunity to talk to Aurora alone. She turned to Aurora, her voice low but intense. "We need to talk."

Aurora looked at Wanda, concern in her eyes. "If you are ready, sure..."

Wanda struggled to keep her voice steady. "You haven't even kissed me once since Natasha appeared. It's like I'm invisible to you."

Aurora sighed, reaching out to take Wanda's hand. "Wanda, it's not like that. Everything's just been so overwhelming. I'm not ignoring you."

Wanda pulled her hand away, hurt evident in her eyes. "Then kiss me..."Aurora just stared at her not moving a muscle. Wanda holding her tears back she stood up. "I knew it(she paused for a sec) I felt it"

Before Aurora could respond, the front door opened, and Pietro walked in, his usual confident stride faltering slightly as he took in the tense atmosphere. "Hey, everyone. What's going on?"

Aurora watched Pietro's moves, then turned back to Wanda. "I need some air." She stood up and walked out the door, her mind racing with conflicting emotions.

With Aurora gone, the tension in the room only grew thicker. Pietro, Wanda, Yelena, and Natasha all exchanged uneasy glances.

Pietro broke the silence first. "So, what's up? "

Yelena crossed her arms, her eyes narrowing. "I know you talked about it. I'm not letting her go Wanda"

Wanda's patience was wearing thin. "My brother is from here, Natasha isn't Yelena. She needs to go before something bad happens "

Natasha leaned against the wall, her expression unreadable. "So, I'm going to lose my sister and my love of my life again because you think I'm not from here? No that's not happening. I won't make the same mistake again."

Pietro sighed, running a hand through his hair. "You don't belong here"

Yelena's gaze hardened. "You don't either, you were supposed to be dead."

Natasha stepped forward, her voice calm but firm. "I'm not going anywhere, I won't sacrifice everything again. Because you can't leave your brother."

Wanda took a step back sighing ."Fine. I'll tell Aurora then". Natasha got closer to Wanda. "I won't let you manipulate her into choosing between you and me, even If I have to pin you both down." She said looking between Wanda and her brother.
