What We've Lost

Burning

Rural part of Lagos, fighting against remnants of Crossbones' followers. (Crossbones was the guy from the beginning of Civil War.)

Vision's POV

"Go, run! I'll hold them off!" Wanda yells. I see it coming before she does. "WANDA!" I scream. The bomb detonates, taking out a chunk of trees and... skies above... Wanda is sent flying into the forest. We all stand frozen for one agonizing moment before Wiccan and Speed run into the trees, calling her name. I fly after them.

Wanda is lying in the middle of a clearing, sobbing. I know what she is thinking about.
"2016," she says, confirming my thoughts. "Eleven people dead because of me." William drops to his knees beside her. The fifteen-year-old boy forms a magician's hat with his magic. She smiles and pulls a rabbit out of the hat. "I knew you two were in there," she says to William and Thomas. Suddenly, fire encircles us. "The explosion must have lit the whole forest on fire!" Thomas exclaims. "Thank you, Captain Obvious," William says sarcastically. "We've got to get out of here," I say. "Wiccan, you take Speed, and I will take Wanda." "I'm perfectly capable of flying myself, you idiot," she says, smiling.

Wanda's POV

When we get back, we are bombarded with questions. But we are too exhausted to care. Will, Tommy, and I fall asleep on the couch. I wake up, and Cassie has gotten ahold of one of Hope's prototype suits for her. She shrinks down and runs around in Tommy and Will's LEGO castle. Morgan runs over, picks her up, and brings her to Hope. I can hear them from here. I sigh and settle my head on Vis's shoulder. It's been a long day.

(A/N Another short one, I know. Don't nag me about it, being tired just makes me write shorter one-shots. I also really wanted some (slight) cheese, but maybe that will be in the next one or in Ghost From the Past.)
