My Promise

Wanda watched as Abigail clean the training room. She picked up some left out mats and struggled to pull them across the room so she got up and helped her.

"Oh, Wanda! I didn't see you there. Thank you for the hand!" She smiled at her.

"Yep, I saw your struggling and I wanted help."

After they folded the mat she pushed it up against the wall. Wanda thought back to when she stopped the chandelier from falling on Clint. She watched as she picked up the used towels and threw them in the laundry basket in her right arm.

"Hey, Abi? Can I call you Abi?" Wanda asked.

"Of course, you can call me anything you feel like, sweetie." She said as she rearranged the weights but only the ones she can pick up, she was going to ask one of the men to pick up the other ones.

"Well, can you help me with my magic? Please." She asked.

Abigail turned to her. She felt like she said the wrong thing.

"I know you are a very busy woman, you know, with the cooking, cleaning, and helping Bucky remember stuff, but I would very much like your to help me, being that you are the only other person her- or god, that can do stuff like that, and I-"

"Of course, I'll help you. You want to do it tomorrow when everyone is training?" She asked.

"Thank you, but, you really want to help me?"

"Yes, I do. I want to help and I should practice more too, I haven't done magick in a long time." She laughed as she picked up Steves broken boxing gloves. "Lordy Steve, how hard do you punch people now?" She whispered to herself.

"Really, uh, thank you, so much!" She hugged her.

"Anything for you, sweetie." She hugged back.

"Okay, Abi, how are your going to train?" Steve asked.

It was early in the morning, about seven. Abigail asked Bucky to wake her up when he went to train, so he asked Steve to wake them up when he woke up to train. So at six thirty he barged into their shared room and woke them up. Both of them complained about him running in as they slept but Steve wasn't having it so he dragged them both out of the bed. Literally. He let them take a shower. When they were done, they walked out. She put on a pair of his sweatpants and a shirt and he wore the same thing.

"Well, I got to work with Wanda with magick first, then hand to hand combat, the later run for an hour or two, whichever I want to do later, then I'm going to do magick again, then finish off with weapon checks." She said as she stretched out her joints.

"Wait, have you done this before?" He asked confused.

"Mhm." She walked away and joined Wanda.

"Hey, thanks for helping me with this. It means a lot." She smiled.

"Of course," Abigail smiled back. "Okay, when you want to start, you want to make sure that whatever emotion you have at the moment, you can use that to your advantage," Abigail said as she got in a steady standing position, followed by Wanda. "And you want to make sure that you have a strong stance. You don't want your magick to throw you back"

(Time Skip)

Abigail had been running for an hour, round and round the track. She stopped for a second to take a break, she moved the hair out of her face, when she felt someone wrap an arm around her waist. She looked up and saw Bucky.

"Hello, James." She smiled. "What are you doing?"

"Just starting my run. What about you?" He asked.
