So i put in a song for this chapter beacause i think it fits the flashback extremely well. The song is from the anime Attack On Titan and it really gives a haunting vibe so i think it goes really well with this chapter or well the flashback.
Now back to the story.

The team of Avengers were finally back at the tower and reunited with Bruce.
"Where's Natasha?"
Clint looked at the scientist with a guilty look.
"She got taken by Ultron."
The room fell silent. "Well uhmm... Everyone get some rest. Me and Steve will try to find a trace on Ultron.

Everyone began to walk away. All except Rava. Steve noticed and being the protective man he was he spoke to her. "Hey kid, why don't you get yourself some rest."
The girl looked at him with an empty look in her eyes.
"I can't."
He was about to ask her why but she was already explaining it.
"Everytime i close my eyes i see him there. Ever since that Maximoff girl used her whatever it was on me i keep having those nightmares. All i can see is what i did to Jooheon. I don't even dare to contact the spiritworld again let alone enter the moonstate. I'm just.. Just so afraid of myself."

She couldn't help but let a few tears slip. Steve embraced her knowing that this was better than words at the moment. He kissed her forehead before pulling away. "Try to get some rest. I'll be there when you need me."
The girl nodded before walking towards the elevator.

She wasn't planning on going to sleep anytime soon so why not visit the replica spirit oasis made by Tony.

What the young Avenger didn't know was that the Maximoff twins heard every word. The guilt immediatly setting in. "It's my fault." Wanda spoke up. She began to walk towards the elevator the bender had just disappeared in. Her brother following suitly. The sokovian witch planned to make it up. She was determined to help Rava. And no matter what she would succeed.

The twins had been followi g Rava through a few hall for a while now but when the moongirl was about to enter a room she spoke up surprising both the brother and sister.
"Seriously don't guys have anything better to do?"
The twins were looking at her with big eyes knowing they had been caught. "Wanda can help you."

The girl scoffed in response.
"With what? More nightmares?"
Wanda looked down feeling guilty about what she had done.
"No, i can help the nightmares go away. If you allow me to."

The Avenger was questioning the options she had. She smiled slightly at the twins. They deserve to be forgiven. She knew that it would be nice for them to have one friendly face in the crowd of glares. After all they thought Ultron was doing the right thing.
"Well no time to lose. Please lady and gentleman enter."

After opening the doors to the remake spirit oasis the girl explained what the room was. The twins looked like children in a candy shop. The speedster turmed towards her.
"This is not so bad."
The girl smiled at him knowing that he was utterly amazed by just the room.
"You should see the real one. It's the most beautiful place on the earth. You might get to see it someday."
The girl began towards the center near the pond. "Now let's begin this.. Well whatever you're gonna do."
Wanda sat infront of the bender and Pietro next to her.
"So i'm going to look at the cause of your nightmares. It might be a memory triggered by what i've done. You might know what it is but i need do to too. After that i'll use something good to replace that memory."
Rave gulped before nodding.
Wanda placed her hands next to Rava's head. What Rava didn't know was that Wanda would show Pietro evefything aswell through her mind.
The twins would share alot of thoughts and Wanda knew the boy was interested in the girl next to him.

Wanda saw the crowd again but this time they seperated to create a space. They let her in Rava's mind.

Flashback
"Jooheon? Jooheon?"
The ten year old Rava was running through the airtemple. She saw her friend gazing in the distance.
She ran towards him with a big smile on her face. "Rava, go get the masters now. Be careful my little ballerina."
The boy did not turn his gaze of the clouds infront of him. Rava immediatly obeyed. When she and the masters arrived at the place they immediatly turned towards her and told her to run away with Jooheon and not look back.
Multiple men came storming inside the temple and everyone began fighting.
"But master Kyoshi i don't want to go. I cannot leave you." the girl was crying at this point. The old man embraced her one last time before pushing her into Jooheon's arms. "Go." the man stood there with tears in his eyes.

He turned and began fighting the men aswell. Jooheon ran away with the screaming girl in his arms. When she saw that master Kyoshi was thrown against the floor she screamed. Looking around the rest of the temple she saw all the people being slaughtered and she couldn't understand why. The old man let out a cry for help. And that's when she lost is. "Rava, calm down you're going to hurt yourself."
The boy feared for her safety. When she heard the master cry out she realeased herself from Jooheon's grip and let out an earpiercing scream. The ground began to shake violently and the air was wild. She looked at the bad men infront of her. Her eyes glowing white. She screamed once again when she saw that master Kyoshi was also gone. She began to rise and she used spikes of ice and earth to impale every single one of the man.

Sadly she didn't see her friend in the line of fire.
When she saw what she had done she immediatly ran towards her
brother-like figure. The once spike of ice began to melt. She pushed her hand on his hand. "I'm so sorry Jooheon. I didn't mean to-" the crying girl was cut off by her friend. He layed his hand on her cheek. "It's o-okay, little ballerina."
He pulled her down so he could hug her one last time. "I have a book in my drawer. Look for it and don't lose it."
The girl was still sobbing but nodded.

"I love you, little ballerina."

"I love you to, my brother."

That was it. The moment that changed the girl forever. She had just killed her friend. She let out another scream. It was the only thing that made it feel less painful. She decided to put flowers around Jooheon. She went to his room and took the book, his blanket and his pillow. She layed the pillow under his head and the blanket over him.
Now it just looked like he was sleeping.
The crying child layed her head on his head hoping it was all just a dream and she would wake up from a nightmare.
She layed there for a week hoping he would wake up.
If it weren't for the man with the shield taking her with him after convinving her it was the best she would have layed next to Jooheon for the rest of her miserable life. When she was leaving with the man she looked at Jooheon one more time and then at the bad men. She would always remember that word on their jackets.
Hydra.

The girl came back from her memory with a gasp. She had tears in her eyes thinkinh about what she had done.
The twins were in complete silence. Pietro decided to lay his hand on hers before squeezing it in a reasurring way. And Wanda decided to speak up. "I uh i'm sorry."
The girl smiled sadly at her.
"Don't be it's not your fault. It was mine."
The three of them bonded over the fact that all of them had lost people they loved.

"Now it's only fair i give you something good. So i'll show you what you desire the most."
