The Witch 《Scarlet Vision》

Chapter 24: Crashing Down

Through the entire mission, it felt so rushed that I couldn't even process what was happening half the time. My mind didn't work, but it seem as if my body knew what to do. 

First, I was undercover in a cafe sipping my coffee, then after a minute I'm flying through the air with Sam, landing onto the ground safely. 

Well, not as safe as I thought. 

One of the soldiers fire their gun at me, I pull up my barrier to block the bullets. Using my red hex to curl around the man, pulling his limbs together and dropping his gun. "Sam.." I throw him up, letting the Falcon slam him down. 

"Wanda, just like we practiced." Captain says making me turn around to face him, his position already tensed and ready. He must be talking about lifting him up. 

"What about the gas?" 

"Get it out." 

I flex my fingers, letting my powers surge stronger through my hand, preparing to lift the heavy man. My red hex carries him up and smashes him through the window. 

First job down, now second job. Get the gas out, I controlled through all the gas molecules. Letting the dusty face burst through the glass windows and up through the air, letting it disperse into the sky. 

Focus, make sure to let all of it into the sky. Up up up... 

Once the task was done, another one was brought up. "They're splitting up!! One of them has the biological weapon!" 

I looked behind me to see Sam gone already, probably on his way down to track down the criminals. He didn't even wait for me. Should I go after them? 

I flex my fingers, I can't be such a burden. Everyone's advancing and I'm the only one staying put? I promised myself I wouldn't be put down on the same spot. Not again, not ever. 

I focus my power towards the ground to help me push off of it. Flying through the sky, I look down to see what was going on. 

Below, a truck is slammed into a tent with seasoning they sell, scattered across the ground. While the crowd stands around the destruction, taking out their phones to record, some helping up the injured from the attack. I hear the sirens of the ambulance pull up and escort the survivors to safety. 

At least I didn't have to worry about that. All I need to do is worry about the task at hand. I look around to try and spot the others. 

The sound of gunshots ring out and travel to my ear, followed by the screams of citizens. The screams send me to the ground, my feet touches the sandy ground and start running toward the danger. Pushing past the civilians with blood stained on their face I try to find the source of the destruction. 

Finally pushing pass the final layer of people, I finally see Cap fighting an enemy who was on his knees. His face disfigured and his body cover with armor and the latest tech. I look around to see people hiding behind the baskets and the rubble from the fight. 

What are they doing here?! 

Did they not care about their safety? 

Should I lead them back? 

If I do I'll disturb cap!

"I'M TAKING YOU DOWN WITH ME!" 

Before I could think anymore, the man on his knees clicks on a button. I can feel a great surge of power coming from his body. 

NO!! 

I flex my fingers, my powers flying towards the man. Controlling the blast, containing the fire in the man. The enemy screams in pain and I can feel the same pain as I try to contain it longer. 

"Wanda!!" Steve looks at me surprised, or at least that's what I think. I couldn't really tell since I was so focused trying to contain the explosion. 

The blast was getting stronger and stronger, I wouldn't be able to keep it in any longer! I look up, throw it up! Was what my mind told me! However was it right? 

I had no time to think nor did I have the strength to control these thoughts. 

"RAGHH!!" I yell throwing it up. 

But I lost it, 

Then everything came crashing down. 

BOOM!!!

The shatter of the windows and the blast from the side sent the walls to be engulfed in flames while the insides were set on fire. 

Screams emerged as rubble started falling down, the violent seen of everything crashing down! 

Everything that they've built came crashing down. 

Everything I've built came crashing down.... 

And all I could do was stare, with my hand over my mouth..... 

.....that was unable to contain the sadness that I had felt. 

Author's Note:

Hey guys!! 

Author here, and I'm so sorry for not updating for almost a month.  

I haven't been active much here because so much things in the real world was going on. There was a point that I just couldn't get up because I just felt so tired with my life. 

And felt that everything was "Crashing Down" 

Pfft get it?

:( 

However I'm back and that's all that matters. 

It'll take time to get back on track, but I promise you I'll keep these chapters rolling! 

Thank you for taking the time to read this and I'll see you later!!
