Wanda rushed to the infirmary at 4:21 in the morning after waking up to the ringtone on her phone indicating that someone was calling her. When she answered it, adrenaline shot through her system. Her breath caught when she heard from Rhodey that Natasha was going into cardiac arrest which signaled a code blue and an automatic, loudly alarming text sent to him.

So, she pulled a sweatshirt over her head and hurried over to where Natasha was staying, not bothering to fix her morning hair.

When she arrived, everyone was waiting outside the room, some with coffees in hand and others just sitting patiently. She walked over to Stark who had a hand running through his hair, pacing back and forth. He appeared to be the most outwardly worried than the others. "Is she going to be okay?" she whispered to him.

Stark placed his hands in his pockets and shrugged. "I-I don't know. I don't know, I'm sorry," he sighed.

Tears welled up in Wanda's eyes as the reality set in. She stood frozen in place and felt more alone than ever. She clenched her teeth to stop herself from starting a mess of sobbing. Her bottom lip started to tremble when she felt a hand on her shoulder. She turned to see Vision who had a genuine look of concern in his eyes. She turned her gaze to the floor. She let out a shaky breath and turned to crash into Vision's chest.

She cried silently as he offered his comfort and support during this dreadful time. "What if we lose her?"

"Don't think about that right now. You're tired, let me take you to bed," he gently suggested.

She shook her head. "I'm not gonna leave until she's stable. I won't leave her alone."

Vision smiled sadly at her words and decided to guide her to the bench that was set against the wall. She leaned against him, drifting off from the adrenaline that left her body. Her eyes became heavy. The fluorescent lights seemed to dim as she started to fall asleep.

It was only about two minutes into her sleep that she was awoken by a nurse who was working on Natasha. "Miss Romanoff seems to be stable for now. We are still trying to monitor her vitals, and so far everything seems to be fine. We'll notify you if there are anymor—"

The lights flickered and then shut off completely before the emergency backup turned on and dim lights appeared on the edges of the ceiling.

Wanda looked up in confusion. Is there a storm?

And then her heart dropped when the lights flicked from white to red, on time with the alarm system indicating an extremely dangerous and high-security threat.
