AURORA

Run

A/N: Everything's out of control man...

Aurora's eyes widened at the sight of Wanda's red-glowing gaze. "Wanda, stop!" she cried, but it was too late. Wanda's powers had already taken hold.

Aurora's body went rigid, her eyes filling with tears as the memories Wanda unwittingly dredged up washed over her. Painful moments, deep emotions, and Agatha's painful torture by taking her powers, all flashed before her eyes. She felt as though she were drowning in her own mind.

Wanda, startled by Aurora's presence and realizing what she was doing, abruptly stopped. Aurora crumpled to the ground, gasping for air, her tears flowing freely. Wanda's face paled with horror at what she had done.

Natasha, still immobilized by Wanda's powers, Clint rushed to her side. He cupped Natasha's head in his hands, trying to rouse her. "Natasha, come on, wake up," he urged, his voice filled with desperation.

Wanda fell to her knees beside Aurora, her hands trembling as she reached out but then hesitated. "Aurora, I'm so sorry," she whispered, her voice breaking. "I didn't mean to-"

Aurora took a shuddering breath, her body still shaking. She looked up at Wanda, pain and betrayal clear in her eyes. "Please leave"

Wanda recoiled as if struck, guilt and regret etched across her face. "I... I didn't mean to. I just... I lost control."

Clint, seeing Natasha still unresponsive, shot Wanda a fierce glare. "What happened????"

After a few tense moments, Natasha blinked and took a deep breath, coming back to herself.

Natasha looked around, her eyes finally settling on Aurora's tear-streaked face. "Aurora," she whispered, her voice filled with sorrow.

Aurora shook her head, standing up shakily with Clint's help. "I want you to leave" she said her face inches away from Wanda's, her voice barely above a whisper. "Get out"

Wanda's face fell, her eyes brimming with tears as she stood up slowly. "Aurora, please-" she began, but the cold, resolute look in Aurora's eyes stopped her.

"You heard me," Aurora said, her voice icy. "Get. Out."

Natasha, now fully aware, stepped between them, her expression a mix of concern and protectiveness. "You heard her..." she said quietly but firmly.

Wanda looked from Aurora to Natasha, her heart breaking. With a final, anguished look at Aurora, she nodded and turned to leave. As she walked out the door, the silence in the room was deafening.

Clint helped Aurora to the couch, his expression serious. "Are you alright, Aurora?"

Aurora nodded weakly, still catching her breath. "I'll be fine," she said, her voice now steady and firm.

Natasha knelt beside her, taking Aurora's hands in her own. "I'm so sorry you had to go through that," she said softly.

Aurora pulled her hands away, standing up. "Don't be," she replied coldly. "I don't need pity. I need to be alone please leave."

Natasha looked taken aback by Aurora's change in demeanor. "Aurora, I just want to help."

Aurora's eyes hardened. "Then help me by getting out of my house, both of you."
Clint stood up, looking towards the door where Wanda had exited. "Nat, let's go" he said, heading towards the door.

As Clint stopped inches away from the door, Natasha tried to reach out to Aurora again. "Aurora, please, let's talk about this."

Aurora turned her gaze to Natasha, her expression unyielding. "There's nothing to talk about. Get out"
