《Into the fire》Chapter Fourteen

Wandas POV
Once I made it back to the compound I made quick work of getting the groceries inside. Having my powers is a blessing.
I wasted no time in the kitchen and just took everything up to Nats room, hopeful that she was in there.
And I guess I do have some luck in this universe because Nat was in her room already.
"Oh, thank goodness." I release all of the food. And it's now that I realize we have to make the popcorn and that I have drinks in these bags.
Too late.
"Uh, you okay there Wanda?" Nat asks.
"Yeah, of course," I wave it off. "That was just a lot of groceries."
She looks at me funny. "You weren't even carrying them? You used your powers," she points out.
Oh right.. "right.. well, still."
"Okay. So what did you get?" She reroutes the conversation.
"Just about everything," I state.
"It looks like it," she says as she looks over all of the bags of food.
"Candy, chips, popcorn, drinks..I should actually probably go make the popcorn. And then I can get us some ice for the drinks, I'm not sure how cold they are now. What do you want Nat? I have.. I actually don't remember. Let me see if I can find.."
"Wanda."
I stop my movements and look at her.
"Are you going to tell me what's bothering you now? And don't give me some bullshit that it's nothing. You're rambling on about ice and drinks."
I sigh and sit next to her on her bed and scooches closer to me.
"I saw Blue Eyes," I admit as I look at my hands and start messing with my rings.
I feel her shift besides me so I look over at her facing me.
"Oh? Did you talk to her? What happened?" She asks me softly.
"I.. did talk to her. Kind of. She wasn't exactly.. happy to see me. But her.. friend that was with her wanted her to introduce us to each other," I say slowly, dancing around the fact that that friend of hers was in fact Nats sister.
"Oh? That seems.. odd. So.. her girlfriend wanted to be introduced to you?"
"Oh, no. They aren't official yet. But they were there grocery shopping together," I raise my eyebrows.

"That's a serious date in Spencers book."
I smile at the idea, "oh yeah?"
Nats face grows red as she realizes she brought up Spencer into the conversation. With a huge smile on her face she replies, "yeah.. she loves grocery shopping. She loves food. And cooking, so.."
"Right! You told me she loved to cook. I have yet to see these amazing abilities, but I'm sure I will," I wink at Nat who looks down.
"I'm sure you will.. but anyway. Back to this blue girl.."
"Ugh," I fling myself back into her bed. "I don't know... it's.. complicated."
"Complicated how? She seems to have someone and you have someone. Are you trying to tell me it wasn't just an awkward one minute conversation?"
I turn my head so I can see her again as she's still sitting up. "Yes.."
"Okay.. how was it more than that?"
"Well.. I kind of know who the other girl with her is.."
I guess I'm going with telling Nat. What's the harm, right? I mean.. she might know who Blue is. Might have met her before.
"Oo.. now this is getting interesting." She lays down on her stomach next to me. "Tell me more."
I take a deep breath, "it's your sister."
Her face scrunches in confusion, "what?"
"It was Yelena. She's dating Blue."
She sits up, "wait, wait, wait. You're telling me Yelena has a girlfriend?"
"They aren't official yet," I mumble.
"How could she not tell me?" Nat says almost to herself. "And you're sure it was her?"
I nod my head, "yes, one hundred percent. Blue even introduced her as 'Yelena'. And I'm very sure she recognized me."
"Really? Wait.. but didn't you say the girl with her wanted to be introduced to you?"
"Yup."
"So why would Yelena want to be introduced to you? You've met and you said she seemed to recognize you. That doesn't make any sense."
"That's what I'm saying!" I throw my hands up for emphasis.
"I definitely have to talk to Yelena about this."
My eyes widen, "no! Don't."
"Why not?" She narrows her eyes at me.
"Because.. then she'll know about me and Blue.."

"Okay, side note, is that really her name? Because I know that's all you've called her, but I thought it was because it was a hookup and you weren't going to bother with it. But now I'm starting to think maybe.."
"No. It's not her real name. I did call her that before I knew, because of her eyes obviously. But.. I don't know. I liked calling her by what drew me to her. But turns out her fire house uses that as a nickname, too," I mumble.
"Hm. So what's her actual name?"
"Alex."
Nat nods her head in approval, "nice name. Sounds hot."
I snap my head over to her.
"I'm just messing with you! Besides you said my sister is.. dating her. Which.. is just totally throwing me." She pauses. "You really don't want me to ask her about it?"
"No.."
"Okay. But if you want answers.."
"I don't know."
"What don't you know?"
"I don't know if I want to know, ya know?"
"Um, I think?"
"I just mean.. I don't want to know about their relationship. That she's in one. And that it's Yelena. Even if they broke up I don't know if.. I could bring myself to date her or.."
"Woah there Wanda," she holds up a hand to stop my rant.
"What?"
"A few things. First, you said they aren't dating yet and if they do, and Yelena is happy, I hope they last. Secondly, you're already talking about dating her if they break up? Thirdly, doesn't she like hat..not want to see you? And lastly, you have Lexi!"
"I know! I don't know why I'm like this. I'm fine when I don't see her, I enjoy being with Lexi, I'm happy. And then for some unknown reason , besides the planet just messing with me, I run into her and it starts this spiral all over again!" I snake my hands through my hair, feeling frustrated with the situation.
"Wanda.." she starts softly. "Don't beat yourself up too much about it. Sometimes you can't help who you have feelings for. Or who you want to sleep with. But, I do know you and Lexi seem happy together. And I don't want to drive yourself crazy thinking about this girl that isn't giving you the time of day. You deserve better."
I feel like she has to keep telling me this.
"I know. And I want Yelena to be happy. And I hope they are! And I wish I could just forget and focus on my relationship with Lexi, but.."
"Hey, there's no rush. You have to figure this out. But hopefully you won't see her again and it won't matter, right?"
"Yeah, except if Yelena comes around and she brings her girlfriend," I kick at the nonexistent dirt on the ground in a little tantrum.
"So.. let me talk to her? I can figure out the truth and if they are serious.. I can make sure she doesn't bring her around for a while."
"Yeah.. I guess that makes sense. If you don't mind," I give in.
She offers a smile, "okay, great. Then I'll talk to Yelena. Maybe tomorrow. But for now.. how about we dig into these snacks and watch some movies with face masks?"
"Yeah, that sounds great. And we should probably start with the ice cream because it's most likely soup by now."
"Well, we can always make milkshakes," Nat says.
"That actually sounds so good!"
So we found the ice cream and brought it downstairs so we could make up our own milkshakes. Then grabbed some ice along with the popcorn we brought down to pop.
Then we had ourselves a mini junk food feast as we binged some of our favorite movies.
Mine were a little older, but Nat jntroduced me to some that Spencer showed her. Apparently Spencer is a huge movie buff.
But, I can't complain. She did show me some really good movies. My favorites were some of the dancing ones. I can't believe I hadn't watched some of these before.
I have no idea how long we stayed up but I know we made it to see the sun starting to rise before we finally passed out.
But it was good getting to hang out with Nat. We don't get to do this kind of thing that often so it was nice to joke around and eat a bunch of unhealthy snacks.
Not to mention it was a very good distraction from thinking about blue.
Damn it.
Well, I tried.
