The Witch

Chapter 1

*funeral of Tony, Nat & Steve*

"2023. The Endgame. The historical battle between us, the Avengers & Thanos. Many of us came back alive. The rest of us, not so much.. some sacrificed and put their lives at risk just to bring us back.. others defeated Thanos with his own weapon but lost their life in the process..

Which is why we are gathered here today to honour the fallen ones. The ones who saved us and cared for us. Risked their lives.. just for us. I, Wanda Maximoff, am standing here today in remembrance of Late Mr Steve Rogers, Mr Tony Stark and lastly, but dearly, Miss Natasha Romanoff..

*clears throat*
Natasha was a strong one. She was brave, she was tough, she was kind and loving. She cared. She was the only one who truly cared for the betterment of our world. I was told by Rhodey how she would pace back & forth impatiently, always in her own state of mind. He told me that she would always look at our faces on the screen, our pictures, and *chuckles* eat PB&J sandwiches whilst having a break down. Huh, typical Romanoff. *sniffs* she saw me as a sister. One that I never really had.  When we faced Ultron in Sokovia, I put her through a really tough time. At that time, I was *abbreviates with fingers* "Strucker's Prized Pupil" and I foolishly, almost helped Ultron get what he wanted. Global destruction and the extinction of the Avengers.

Once I found out about his plans, my brother, Pietro.. who is also no more.. *clears throat* took me to help Steve and save some citizens from a moving train. That's when I started to realise that my powers could be used for good. Natasha was with me most of the way in Sokovia. We fought Ultron's army of robots side by side. Those were the best of times. The amount of counselling and guidance she gave me was like a mother would give. She was everything to me..

*flips over eulogy to the next page*

Tony Stark. He was a.. what did he call himself again? Oh yeah, a "Genius, billionaire, playboy philanthropist" *she chuckles with a tear* I used to always think that Stark never understood me and always thought I was dangerous or something different than the others.. but now I know why he had his harsh ways with me.. it was to protect me.. if I was still walking in the streets in Lagos after the bomb attack that.. I caused... who knows what would've happened.. Stark.. if you're listening.. just know that I'm thankful for all you have done for me. For all of us.

*she wipes a tear and flips eulogy page one more time and takes a deep breath in*

Steve. Everyone's favourite. Captain America. I don't even know where to begin... *she reads the eulogy and breaks into tears* I just- I really miss him... that's all. T-thank you..
e-excuse me..." Wanda runs off in tears behind the stage and breaks down. She couldn't read the rest of the eulogy. Not about Steve. He was special. He stuck with her through good and bad times. He was a brother. A friend. A dad. He was everything to Wanda and having to imagine saying good bye was too much to take in. Wanda runs off to the Avengers HQ and locks herself in her room. She just couldn't believe it was happening. They were gone. All gone. And she didn't know what to do. Wanda lay in her bed weeping and crying heavily. She already lost Vision...
Wanda broke down in tears at thought of losing all 4 of her close ones, she was crying heavily with her face stuffed in her pillow, when there was a knock at the door..
???: "W-wanda? A-are you in there? I saw u running in and crying, are you okay?"..
