Short story - Reunion (Avengers x OC, Black Widow Focused)

Chapter 7

Wanda went after him. She knocked on his door.

"Thor, it's me, Wanda, can I come in?"

"Emm, wait a second!" He yelled from the inside. She heard some quiet noises and after a moment he opened the door. "Come in."

"Thanks. I brought you your food before it got cold." She gave him the bag. "And I also wanted to ask you something."

"Yes? What?" He asked and grabbed the food from Wanda. "Thank you."

"Are you ok? I mean, you acted weird when you came back."

"I- I don't know. I was nervous." He stuttered a little.

"About what?"

"Me." Thor quickly looked at his friend and turned away.

"Do you want to talk about it? Maybe I can help?"

"Yes, I actually wanted to ask you something."

"Okay, I'm listening." Wanda said and sat next to him on the bed.

"How... How do I know if I love someone? Or, at least have a crush on someone?" He was still nervous, but felt more comfortable around Wanda.

"Oh, so this is the issue." She smiled. "Well, love is complicated and has many forms. Everybody can have their own definition of this feeling."

"What is yours?"

Wanda thought for a moment.

"For me, love is when you care about someone more than yourself and you would do anything for that person." An image of Nat and Sofia popped into her mind and disappeared.

Thor wasn't talking. He was lost in his thoughts. Wanda added.

"For other people the visual part of someone is also important when it comes to feelings. For example someone is attractive to them and after some time they start to feel something stronger or not."

Thor looked at her, but was still silent. He turned away and spoke.

"I think I have a crush on Sofia."

I knew that. She was looking at him and waited for some more explanation. Thor was too shy to speak, so she asked him.

"Why do you think that? Does it have something in common with one of these definitions?"

"Yes, a little from both. I like her, I like spending time with her and I care about her. I don't want her to suffer and I'm always worried when we go on missions that she's gonna be hurt. And..." he took a pause. "She's pretty."

"Ok, I see your point and I agree with you here. But do you think it's stronger than just friendship?"

"I don't know, that's why I ask you."

"Thor, I can read your mind, but I can't feel your feelings, so I can't answer for you. I think you should wait a little to see if this feeling inside you is changing or not and then talk to Sofia about it. What do you think?" She explained to him.

"I think you are right." He cleared his throat. "Thank you Wanda." Thor smiled. Wanda hugged him.

"You're welcome. If you want to talk more about it, I'm here." They pulled back from each other. "Now eat. See you later, big guy."

"Bye!"

Wanda walked downstairs and went to the kitchen for her food. Sofia stopped her.

"Hey, how is he?"

"He's tired and he has to think about something, but don't worry, he will be fine." She put her hand on Sofia's shoulder.

"Ok, great, thanks." She said and walked away. Maybe I will go to the lab and see Bruce's work? Yeah, I don't have anything in particular to do. She went downstairs.
