Nikolina and Wanda sat in Wanda's room, watching the news.
"Eleven Wakandan's were among those killed during a confrontation between the Avengers and a group of mercenaries in Lagos, Nigeria last month. The traditionally reclusive Wakandan's were on an outrage mission in Lagos when the attack occurred," then King T'Chaka came on. "Our people's blood is spilled on foreign soil. Not only because of the actions of criminals, but by the indifference of those pledged to stop them. Victory at the expense of the innocent, is no victory at all."
Nikolina accidentally shifted onto the remote, turning the tv off.
"Nikolina!" Wanda scolded.
"Sorry, sorry. I did not mean to do that." Nikolina apologized, reaching for the remote and turning the tv back on.
"What legal authority does an enhanced individual like Wanda Maximoff have to operate in Nigeria-"
"Nikolina, I swear to god-" Wanda turned to her sister, only to see her holding her hands up in defense. She looked behind her sister, and saw Steve, leaning on the doorframe. "It's my fault."
"That's not true." Steve said.
"Turn the tv back on. They're being very specific." Wanda said.
"I should've clapped that bomb vest long before you had to do it. Rumlow said Bucky, and all of a sudden I was a sixteen year old kid in Brooklyn again. People died. It's on me." Steve said, sitting down next to Nikolina.
"It's on both of us." Wanda stated.
"It is on all of us." Nikolina continued.
"This job... We try to save as many people as we can, but sometimes that doesn't mean everybody. But if we can't find a way to live with that, next time maybe nobody gets saved." Steve sighed.
Suddenly, Vision walked in through the wall. Nikolina almost had a heart attack. He caught her off guard. "Jeez!"
"Vis, we talked about this." Wanda said to him. This has happened before?
"Yes, but the door was open, so I assumed that... Captain Rogers wished to know when Mr Stark will arrive."
"Thank you. I'll be right down." Steve nodded.
Vision pointed to the door. "I'll use the door."
"That is a good plan." Nikolina agreed.
Vision stopped abruptly, and turned around. "Oh, and apparently he's brought a guest."
"Do you know who it is?" Steve asked him.
"The Secretary of State." He replied before leaving, this time using the door.
