I sit on the jet, looking at my phone, seeing that Wanda has texted me 10 times and called me 4.

"Fuck," I whisper as I start fumbling to text her back.

"She's pissed you didn't answer her, huh?" Tony asks from the co-pilot seat beside Natasha. She glances back at me briefly, smirking in mockery.

"I wouldn't have done that," she says cockily, only making me roll my eyes.

"Nat-" "Oh please, take a joke. Plus, she's probably worried because there were several explosions and with you not answering she most likely thinks you're dead. Might wanna tell her you're not before she blasts you into another dimension."

Okay. She has a point.

"Right, doing that as we speak. Can we make this thing go any faster? I need to make it up to my angry Sokovian girlfriend before she turns into my angry Sokovian ex-girlfriend."

Tony just laughs and pats my shoulder, "you'll be spending plenty of time with her at the compound. As a matter of fact, I need you to actually be there with her and Vision tonight. Do not let her leave."

Frowning, I turn to look at him and say, "what? Why can't she leave?"

He sighs and shrugs, "Well with the Accords, considering she has yet to sign them and probably never will, Wanda is a threat to the government. Meaning that they are going to be scared of her. Come on, Y/N. You and I both know how powerful she is, more so than she even knows. If she leaves, people will be scared of her. What if something goes wrong? What if she hurts someone?"

Scoffing in annoyance, I stand up and glare down at him.

"She would never hurt someone. This is Wanda we are talking about."

"Exactly, this is Wanda. And she just took out an entire building in Lagos by herself."

I grab his throat and super speed us to the wall, lifting him against it.

"WOAH! Y/N, calm down!" Rhodey and Nat shout. Vision watches on in observation, obviously not knowing what to do or say.

"She didn't mean to do that. She lost control! Her emotions sometimes they-" "They control her?" He whispers through choked breaths.

Nat is now at my side, hand around my arm, gently tugging at me to look at her. When I do her eyes are soft and understanding.

"I know you want to protect her but...just hear him out, okay? Please."

It takes a few moments before I can actually relax and allow myself to hear out my jackass of a brother.

"They are out for your little witch. They see her as the biggest threat, they know she's the most powerful out of all of us and they want her locked up. She has one more little slip up and she's gone for good, locked up somewhere in a prison like a villain. We keep her at the compound until all of this stuff blows over, Vision is assigned to do that, but I also want you there so it seems less like a babysitting job. I don't want to see anything bad happen to her alright? Please. I'm trying to protect her."

He's speaking fast and avoiding my eyes every few seconds. Rambling, actually. That's when I realize how serious this is to him. And how he's worried. What am I supposed to do? He has a point, the governments around the world all fear Wanda, that's very clear. They think of her as a threat. If Wanda has one more slip up I could lose her. They'll take her away from me. She doesn't see that, though. She thinks that Steve can stop this but he can't.

Tony has a point, keeping her at the compound for a while at least until all this shit dies down. Steve is going to pull something and it won't end well. I don't want Wanda in the crossfire.

"Y/N STARK!"

"Angry Sokovian girlfriend 4 o'clock," Natasha smirks at me before she walks away with Tony.

I see my beautiful yet currently very terrifying girlfriend marching over, red mist erupting from her curled fists as she comes closer.

"Woah, woah," I grab a chair and hold it up as a shield but she just flings it to the side and continues approaching as I back up in fear until I hit the wall.

I gulp and prepare for impact until I feel her hands on my face and lips against mine. I melt into the touch, humming in satisfaction until she breaks the kiss.

Slowly opening my eyes, I go to smile but get cut off by a hard slap to my cheek. Wincing, I rub the raw skin, "Ouch Wands, that hurt."

"That is what you get for making me worry so much. I thought you got hurt."

Now I notice the redness in her eyes, not her magical red, but stained red where the white in her eyes is supposed to be, skin around her eyes slightly puffy.

She's been crying.

"I'm okay. I'm sorry I didn't answer your messages but we were a little occupied, Babe."

Taking a deep breath, she sighs while nodding, "Just don't ever scare me like that again. I thought I lost you."

Her voice starts to crack towards the end so I pull her into my chest and cradle her head in my arms as she starts to whimper.

"It won't happen again. I'm sorry for worrying you."

Tony smirks and grabs an imaginary whip, making a cracking sound when he snaps his wrist, only making me roll my eyes and tell Wanda to follow me to my room so I can change.

When we are alone, she sits on my bed, twiddling her thumbs while I pull on a fresh shirt and shorts.

"You may not be speaking but your thoughts are loud," she mutters, only making me sigh, knowing that was coming.

"I'm just thinking. About all of this."

Staring at myself in my mirror, I feel a gentle hand slip into mine, tugging gently to turn me around.

"What about it?" She whispers, those adorable eyes looking up at me. God those eyes can melt me any second of any day. I don't know how everyone on the planet hasn't fallen for this woman. Those eyes alone are enough to melt me to a puddle.

My hand traces her jawline until it rests on her cheek, brushing over the soft skin before I place a soft kiss on her lips, moving to straddle her lap.

She wraps her arms around my frame while my arms rest over her shoulders, foreheads eventually leaning against one another's for support.

"It's only going to get worse."

Wanda nods, pulling away slightly to look me in the eyes before she offers up a soft smile, brushing my hair behind my ears.

"It probably will."

"And what does that mean for us?" I want to know where she stands with this and us. The worse this gets the more it could hurt us and our relationship.

"It means that we don't let it get between us. We are more important than this little dispute."

"Tony won't stop until everyone signs, Wanda. I know you don't want to but-" I don't get to finish.

She lifts me and places me beside her before she groans, rubbing her face in distress before standing.

"You know I can't sign those."

"Why not? I know that it makes you feel like" "Like a puppet? Like a pet? I am tired of being controlled. You out of anyone should know how that feels."

"What do you mean by that?" I start to get nervous that this is going to turn into a fight, especially feeling the anger slowly bubbling up inside of her head. Her thoughts are starting to race. She's playing with her hands as she paces my room, not wanting to look at me.

"You know what I mean, Y/N. Don't make me say it."

"No, say it. I want to hear you say it." My voice is stern, tight and firm. I stand up, crossing my arms as I wait for her to spit it out. Whatever she's about to say I know is going to make this worse because the anger I can feel spewing out of her brain is almost overwhelming.

"I mean that you were Hydra's little pet for years and all of a sudden you're signing a contract that is doing the exact same thing? How does that add up for you, Y/N? Signing something that is doing exactly what they did when you were their guard dog."

Scoffing, I narrow my eyes at her, "I'm a guard dog now? I was never anyone's pet, Wanda."

"Oh really? You listened to their orders, let them poison your mind and turn you into a monster! You are such an obedient little lap dog that you almost killed me just to please them!"

Her face is beat red, eyes teary and hands flailing while she speaks. Well, yells. But her emotional state doesn't faze me while she says what she is. It just riles me up to the point I can feel the darkness rising in me.

"I was fucking brainwashed Wanda! God you know I would never hurt you! I wasn't their fucking lap dog, I beat them, remember?"

"YEAH WITH MY HELP! If I didn't get into your head who knows, maybe you would've been the one to kill King T'Chaka instead of Bucky."

The room goes silent, I can feel my heart racing angrily, my hands buzzing with blue energy just waiting to spurt out, eyes burning with how hard I'm trying to hold back my powers. I cannot believe she is saying this to me. Just moments ago she was saying that we shouldn't let this get in between us and now this is how she's talking to me? Can't she tell I am trying to protect her?

"Wow. Great to know how weak you really think I am."

I go to leave but she sighs, "Y/N-" "No! You know what? I want you to sign the damn Accords because I want to protect you. I want to protect you Wanda because if you don't sign those Accords the entire world will continue to be afraid of you! Everyone is scared of you and your power! Not signing them keeps you as a threat and they'll come for you! But if you sign them it shows that you are on the right side of things! It's a simple signature, why can't you just sign them?!"

"And you think I should trust a Stark to tell me how to run my life?"

Now I just frown, scrunching my face up in utter confusion.

"What do you mean by that?"

She scoffs, smiling as she shakes her head, "this is unbelievable. The last time my home was in the hands of a Stark my parents were murdered. And now here is another Stark telling me to sign my freedom away."

"Are you really comparing me right now? I told you I am trying to protect you Wanda."

I soften now, understanding how difficult this must be. I know that it's a lot for her to give up, but I also know that she needs to if she wants to still be here with all of us. I don't want them locking her up, it'll only trigger her to think of Hydra and not to mention she'll be all alone.

"I don't need protection. I can protect myself," she goes to leave but I grab her wrist, sighing as I close my eyes.

"Please, Wanda. This is greater than you think. Just sign the Accords so that they don't take you from me. Please."

Her face softens while she takes note of my state. Her body moves closer while she hugs me, pressing her ear against my chest before pulling away, cupping my face in her hands to pull me into a kiss.

"I love you, but I can't do that. It would go against everything I believe in. I'm sorry."

"Wanda-" "I'm going to shower."

And with that, she leaves.
