Finding love in war

What couldve been

One year. Has it really been that long. It's been an entire year since they decided to be with one another. But like any good relationship, there are obstacles that they must face. But their's was really different. Mission after mission one stayed or both went and not knowing the outcome. It was too much for them. Steve went on almost every mission and came back with something hurting and if he wasn't on one he was too much in pain to go. Steve and Wanda had ended it. They realized maybe if they were in different types of jobs it would work or maybe not. One thing for certain it that seeing each other come back hurt was something they couldn't bear any longer. They moved on. Steve focused on the team and finding Bucky while Wanda found someone new to be with but it wasn't new to any of them as it was with vision. The civil war and the accords was what brought them together and kept Steve and Wanda apart. Steve focused on still helping others but without his shield or his country while Wanda found someplace with vision. Steve has Natasha check in on the two of them to make sure they were fine. Nat knew it wouldn't be easy for him.

Steve was watching the news when he came across something. The accords had been brought up and asked was it the end of the avengers or was that always the way the team would end. One segment brought up was a old photo. Wand sans Steve close together, Steve's arm around Wanda as she hugged him. He thought back to their first mission. The time they shared something. They began to talk about each of the team that was fugitives. Their own country which they protected multiple times was hunting them down as if they had no other real criminals to look for. Steve called in Nat and Sam and told them what was happening and showed them new data of teams that general Ross or now secretary Ross had sent out for them. He asked Natasha where Wanda and vision are. She showed them but it also brought up something else. One of the teams Ross sent out was on their way there with a tip of seeing the vision and the scarlet witch together there. Both teams were headed to Scotland for Wanda and vision. Steve needed to get their first. He put his old uniform on. No shield and no star on it. He went as nomad now. Of course Natasha and sam teases him about it at first but it made sense in the end.

Steve hadn't talked to Wanda since she went off with vision not because he didn't want to but if he did they could find them. The quinjet took off. Steve was really the one who stole it from the base. He had sam flying and had prepared for anything the team had for them. They aren't prepped for the criminals coming but just for the one who they called the hydra nazi. Steve hated it when they called maximoff that and so did everyone else. The team landed and went to find them. Steve went to get the two while Sam and Natasha went to look for the squads Ross sent their way. Steve went to the apartment which they had. He wasn't sure what to say when he saw hem but he had to warn them. He knocked and waited. No one answered so he kicked it in and looked to see it was empty. Then boom he went into the wall. He didn't know what was happening till he saw the red. Maximoff held him against the wall thinking it was one of the people sent for them. She held him until she saw the torn out circle which the avengers A was once there. She let him go and saw the new captain. She smiled a little and sighed "you grew out your hair and beard." She commented. Steve just smiled and nodded. "Needed a new look. Like the hair." He pointed out. Vision came in and saw Steve . Steve nodded once as the three had to get going before someone else showed up. Sam and Natasha held the others off but some were on their way. The three couldn't get to the quinjet. They grabbed a bag off some store and got some clothes. Steve had to change out of his suit and into new clothes. Jeans, boots, shirt and jacket of course a hat. The three took a train to another town where they were to meet with sam and Natasha in the jet. It was an awkward silence the whole time as Steve sat across of Wanda and vision. They finally met up and got back on the jet until they landed somewhere safe. Vision and sam went to discuss what the new plan would be. Nat got some gear ready for next time. Steve and Wanda stayed on the jet and didn't say anything. Steve asked out it was going with vision. Wanda sighed. "It isn't. Me and him ended a little time ago but stayed with each other for protection." Steve nodded. "I'm sorry it didn't work out" He said and Wanda nodded. She used her hexes and put her old uniform back on. Steve smiled. "Red is always your color. " she smiled and took his hat off his head and put it on her own. "Wrong. It's ours." She said and walked off. Steve smiled and watched her. He had forgotten how beautiful she was. She looked back to see him staring. "Come solider we got work to do." She said and walked. Steve followed behind her. He thought of their time together and wondered could it be possible to have it happen again. He could only hope so.
