A-Force Assemble

WandaCarol - Miracle

None of them had any idea about how it happened. One minute they were enjoying their time together and the minute after, Carol was flying to Cho's office a fast as she could, carrying a fainted Wanda in her arms.

They were in space, enjoying some time alone in one of Carol's numerous houses through the galaxy. It was one of Wanda's wishes after hearing Carol talking so many times about the universe. She wanted, no, needed, to see that for herself.

« Tell me about space again, »

Untangling herself a bit from the witch, Carol looked down at her. She smiled softly and took Wanda back on her chest. The younger woman laid her head next to Carol's heart, where she found it more relaxing as the Captain resumed stroking her long hair.

« What do you wanna know, baby? »

« Tell me about the feeling. How it is to be beyond the sky. »

Carol took a deep breath and closed her eyes to gather her memories.

« The first word I can think about is freedom. When I am up there, just flying, there's nothing but me and the deafening sound of silence. You might think it's terrifying but it's quite the contrary. On Earth or any other planet, to be honest, it's never really quiet. You of all people know what I mean. You can hear people thin all day and with my enhanced hearing, silence is never something we can afford... But up there, for the first time, it's no one but me. I am floating, surrounded by all those stars, galaxies, and planets but no sound, just my breathing. I can go where I want, visit very planet I need, let myself get lost. There's no north, no south, no point to help you to locate yourself. Up is down and down is up but it's not disorienting. Sometimes I spend hours just floating and admiring. At least before I met you. It's better than punching a bag until my knuckles are all bloody... »

Through Carol's speech, Wanda had closed her eyes but the last sentence had her reopen them.

« Bad coping mechanism? » she asked softly.

« Unfortunately yes. I blame it on being an ex-military tho. »

« I'd like to go with you. In space. »

« Wanda... You would die there. In seconds. I'm sorry but that's not possible... »

« And what if we find a way? A way for me to breathe and survive? I can already fly! »

That's how they ended there, after asking Tony for a little help with the device that would help Wanda survive behind the atmosphere. It had been pretty quick, only a few days. When Tony gave his latest invention to the young witch, her eyes shone like a child at Christmas. She didn't waste any time using it and the very same day, they were heading to space, where they flew and laughed for hours before deciding to use Carol's house for a nice meal.

After diner, both had decided to change into comfy clothes and settle in bed for a movie night and that's when things started to get... interesting. It wasn't Wanda's fault if her hand accidentally slipped and brushed one of Carol's nipples. She didn't mean anything when she placed soft kisses on the blonde's neck on her pulse point. And it was pure HASARD if she settled her hand on her lover's pelvis, just above where Carol really needed her to be. So it was of course not obvious to anyone why she was suddenly pinned to the bed, Carol's fit body straddling her lap, her eyes full of lust and desire.

« What are you playing at? » Carol growled, her voice low.

A smirk appeared on Wanda's face.

« I don't know what you mean »

« Hell yeah, you know. Don't play with me. »

« You don't like to be tricked, Captain? » the witch teased.
