You love Marvel. Who wouldn't ? This is where you escaped life, your shit life. So what happens when you wake up into a bed that's not yours ? More importantly, in universe that's not yours ? The universe you love.
I was woken up by the light coming into my bedroom from my blinds. Light ? It's winter and there is no light in my room until 1 pm... Depressing, I know right ? Maybe I slept that long ? It's Saturday but I only went to sleep at 11 pm, so I shouldn't have slept that long.
I turn around in my bed, looking at the hour. It's 9 am. I hear ushered voices, making me sat up on the bed. I stood up, looking around. Where the hell am I ? That's not my room, nor my house. It's not even a friend's house. I don't recognize anything. Maybe I got kidnapped ? Right... As if... because that would be a nice kidnapper then, because that bed is so comfy. Okay, let's focus for like five seconds.
I open the door, going into a big hallway, almost walking on a firetruck toy, before finding the stairs and going down them.
"Mom ? I called entering the kitchen thinking maybe she had taken me to one of my cousin's houses I didn't know while I slept as a surprise or I don't know I was confused right now.
- Yes Kiddo ? A woman answered with a voice I didn't recognize until she turned around.
- What the f.... I started to say as I saw THE freaking Wanda Maximoff turn around as she was making pancakes, okay now I'm internally freaking out.
- Y/n, language, another redhead scolded me, Wait?! THE Natasha Romanoff, okay I have to take a deep breath before I faint.
- I need a sec, and to freaking sit, I mumbled sitting down on one of the kitchen's chair super confused of what the hell was happening.
- You're okay Little one ? Wanda said, approaching me letting Natasha take care of the pancakes in the pan. Do you have a fever ? She worried, touching my forehead like a mother would with their kids but finding nothing, an action I've had seen mothers do but that mine never did.
- I..I...It's...I... I stuttered not knowing what to say, I pinch myself to make sure I was awake. Okay....it's fine, I'm fine....
- You don't look fine Sunshine, Natasha added, keeping a calmer face than Wanda.
- I...I feel like I woke up in the wrong place . Just a weird feeling but I... Before I could add more two kids around 8 years old came running into the kitchen jumping into my arms and lap almost making me fall off the chair.
- SIS ! They said more like they yelled as they hugged me tight. Can we play video games today ? The one I recognized as Billy asked me giving me puppy eyes.
- I... I started to stutter totally frozen at the situation.
- Pleaseeeeeee, Tommy added, also giving me the cutest pout ever.
- Sure Speedy and Witchy, I smiled snapping out of it, trying to act normal, the nicknames coming naturally. After breakfast, okay ?
- Yeahhh ! Tommy cheered before Wanda hugged him, as he and Billy left my arms."
I let out a real smile, this felt nice. A normal, loving family breakfast, even if none of this made sense. And if I had understood correctly, which didn't take a genius, I was the twins' older sibling. Which means Wanda was my mom, explaining why she turned around when I said that earlier. And judging by the wedding rings and the kiss the two women just shared, so was Natasha.
We shared a breakfast, I had no idea what to say because I basically woke up here this morning but still had fun. I played with the twins after breakfast, and we laughed a lot. It's funny how small kids just grow on you in just a few hours.
After dinner, and the twins tucked in, Wanda and Natasha asked me to choose a movie for movie night between just us three like old times. I had no idea what old times were like here but I was excited to do it. They sat on opposite sides of the couch, leaving a place between them. Weird. I was about to sit on a smaller sofa when they gave me a confused look.
"You're not sitting between us for cuddles Sweetheart ? Wanda asked, patting the spot between them.
- You always want cuddles. You're sure you're okay Sunshine ? You've been acting differently all day. Not necessarily bad but different, Natasha said softly.
- No.... I...Don't worry Moms, I said cuddling between them, stuttering a bit when I called them that."
It felt so nice to feel cared for, loved, wanted for once. I had never felt so at ease...so...safe. I was truly happy for the first time in my life.
"Sweetheart yours though are really loud, Wanda said softly. Why do you think that? You don't feel love with us ? She said, sounding upset.
- What ? No. No no no... I stuttered before wincing a bit, my head hurting as I got a flashback."
I'm walking home, I don't see the car coming. Neither does the driver see me. It hits me, everything hurts. It's painful. Pure. Pain. Until it stops. Until I'm free from it, from all of it. This is the end. My end. I see a hand reaching out for me, I grab it and that's when I woke up in a bed that wasn't mine.
"Sweetheart ? Wanda said gently touching my cheek making me go back to reality.
- Mom...I stuttered a bit, nuzzling completely into her, a bit frightened from the memory, but as scared as I was I realized, maybe this is heaven for me.
- It's okay Darling, Mama's here, she whispered gently brushing my hair.
- Thank you...
- For what Sunshine ? Natasha asked, rubbing my back to soothe me more.
- Making me feel so loved Mum. You have no idea how much I need those cuddles right now...
- Did something happen ? They said concerned, giving each other a worried glance.
- It doesn't matter. I'm here now. I'm home, I smiled, staying in their arms until I fell asleep between them."
I felt Wanda kiss my hair and murmured a gentle "We love you Sweetheart".
AN : a bit of cuteness for the holidays !
