The Winter Witch

Chapter Five: A Little Confession

After a really long chat with Clint, I felt like a weight was lifted from my shoulder. I decided to do something productive today. I sat down at my desk in my room and turned my laptop on. I've been meaning to look up news articles to see if the people out there thought I was evil...or a threat. I came upon many regarding Sokovia. It was mostly about, 'New recruits in the Avengers' or 'New Avengers revealed, Falcon, Vision and Scarlet Witch'.

Huh. Scarlet Witch. I never realized I had my own alias. It was pretty cool. I'm surprised how much people already know about us. There were action figures of all of us. Even The Winter Soldier. Crazy.

"I'd buy it."

I jumped in my chair and saw that it was just Bucky laying on my bed.

"When did you get in here?" I asked.

"Oh about...five minutes ago." He replied.

"You could've knocked." I snapped.

He let out a laugh. "Come on, Wanda. We both know you weren't doing anything secretive."

I rolled my eyes and focused back on my laptop. I could hear him get up from my bed. He walked over into my view and smiled. I let out a frustrating sigh and turned to him. I furrowed my eyebrows and stared at his hair.

"Did you cut your hair?" I asked.

"Nope. It's just well groomed." He said, emphasizing well groomed.

"Ah. I like it." I replied.

He looked at me for a few seconds and finally spoke up. "So you and that Clint guy. Is he your boyfriend?"

I let out a burst of laughter. "Clint? No way! He's like my big brother. Why do you care?" I asked.

When he didn't reply, I narrowed my eyes at him and asked again. "Why do you care, Bucky?"

"Maybe 'cause I like you." He said, giving me a grin.

I didn't know how to react, so I just gave a small smile as he left the room.

Bucky likes me? Well, he said maybe. As I thought about it more, I began to smile a big smile. I could feel my face getting hot. Was I blushing? I looked in the mirror and saw that I was. That made me smile even more.
