Hello everyone! Sorry for the long wait. My life was getting in the way and I forgot it was spring break so I switched shifts and called in during my days off and I became exhausted after my shift was over. Plus, I'm re-watching The Walking Dead Season 2 on Netflix, so the chapter's might take a little while to write, but I'm working on it as fast as I can. It might take sometime, but I will try to get them up during the weekend.

I do not own any of the Marvel characters or The Walking Dead! I own nothing!

Enjoy you guys! Sorry for the long wait!

Chapter 1: An Unlikely Reunion Part 1

A Week Later

"Is there another road we can go around?" Steve asked Merle. The older Dixon scratched the back of his head and blew out his cheeks.

"Well," They both looked out towards the mess of scattered cars on the road. All the cars were abandoned, layers of dust covered the cars, some even have dried blood stains on the road and on the windows. The stench of the dead lingers in the air. Both Steve and Merle cleared their throats as the stench filled their noses. "It looks like this goes from a mile maybe even more." Steve sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose.

"Are there any other roads close by?" He asked and Merle sighed.

"There is one, but the only problem is that it leads right towards the Greene's farm." Steve glanced over his shoulder and saw Beth helping Wanda with Nathaniel while keeping an eye on Cooper.

"I'm guessing you want to talk about this with Beth." He asked Merle and he nodded.

"I just don't want her to have to regret not saying goodbye to her pops." He mumbled. "Beth may say it might not bother her, but in reality, it might." Merle said. "Before the breakout, she got into a huge argument with her sister Maggie about her relationship with Daryl. Said he was too rough around the edges, comes from a bad family especially from his older brother, has a reputation and a bunch of other bullshit." Steve nodded understanding where the older Dixon was coming from.

"It didn't faze Beth though." He said. "Sounds like she didn't care where Daryl came from and his family reputation. Love conquers all the bad shit. From what I can tell, Beth and Daryl belong together no matter what her sister says. I know for a fact Daryl would never hurt Beth." Merle nodded and chuckled.

"Daryl would impale himself with his own arrow instead of hurting Beth. That's how much he loves her. He would do anything to protect her." Steve simply nodded understanding where Merle was coming from. He would do anything to keep Wanda safe too. He would do anything to keep his family safe. A sigh escaped his lips and looked back at the mess of old rusted cars.

"We could try to make a clear path while looting the cars, but that might take some time." He said and Merle nodded. Before the older Dixon could say another word, his ears perked up at the sound of car engines in the distance. They both looked back towards their group, narrowed their eyes in the distance and saw two cars and a RV coming towards their way. Steve's shoulders tensed and Merle knew exactly who it was. The survivors from Atlanta.

"Well, I'll be damned." The older Dixon mumbled and Steve nodded.

"Let's get back to the others. We'll figure this out later." He said and both he and Merle jogged towards their people. This'll be an interesting reunion.

Wanda must've noticed Steve's tense from a few yards away. She turned around to the road behind them and squinted her eyes. Her sight landed on a familiar RV and her eyes widened.

"Shit." She hissed out and got Beth's and Daryl's attention. They both looked towards the direction she was looking at. Beth grabbed Daryl's arm and squeezed it tightly.

"What are we going to do?" She asked and Wanda shook her head.

"I don't know." A pair of footsteps came jogging up towards them and felt Steve's hand gently rest on her shoulder. She looked up at her husband with her worried green eyes. "What's the plan?" Steve put his hands on his hips and lightly shook his head.

"There's no way out of this." He expressed. "We have no choice, but to turn around and find a different road. There's too many cars and it goes about a mile down maybe even more." Wanda nodded and glanced at Cooper who was standing on the roof of the truck while Lila was sitting in the back seat with baby Nathaniel. She then looked back towards the group that is getting closer to them and made a quick decision.

"We're going to need supplies. This maybe an opportunity to find some with all these cars lying around." She said and Steve nodded in agreement. He then glanced at the Dixons and nodded.

"Let's get what we can here and move on. We shouldn't stay here for too long." All three nodded and Merle stepped up to stand next to him.

"I'll stay behind with Steve while the rest of you start looting." Wanda nodded and looked up at her husband. She could see the tension in his shoulders and the concerning look in his blue eyes. Her hand reached up and cupped his cheek.

"We'll be alright." She said in a hush tone and he nodded. He cupped her hand on his cheek and pressed his lips against hers. The kiss lasted for a few seconds until Steve pulled his lips away from hers.

"Stay alert." She nodded and looked at Lila who was sitting in the backseat of the truck.

"Listen to whatever Steve says, okay Lila?" The little girl nodded and gave her a smile. Wanda smiled back and turned around and walked towards Beth and Daryl. "Let's go." She said to them in her Avenger's voice. They both nodded and followed her towards the horde of cars.

"We should spread out." Beth said. "We'll cover more ground and get out of here so we don't have to deal with Shane and his group." She said and Wanda nodded in agreement.

"Agreed. Let's spread out." Beth and Daryl nodded and went their separate ways in search for food, ammo, clothes and medical supplies. Wanda sighed and started to rummage through the cars. Looking through the smudge windows, she quietly tried to pry the door open to the backseat. She grunted when the door squeaked open and wiped her forehead with the back of her hand. The heat in Georgia is brutal, but then again, she should be used to it by now. Working on the farm with Clint with the animals, working on fixing the tractor and training with the bright sun beating on them. She should be used to the sweat and yet it annoys her when she starts to sweat through her clothes. The number of shirts and sport bras should would go through made her frustrated beyond belief.

"Find anything yet." Wanda turned around and saw Beth walk towards her with her bag in her hands.

"Nothing much." She muttered and then went on the other side of the car. "I'm gonna open the trunk. See what we can find in there." Beth nodded and walked towards the back while Wanda goes to the other side of the car. She quietly pries the driver door open and stealthy finds the button to open the trunk. When Wanda looked up to see Beth slowly open the trunk with the edge of her shotgun. Beth made eye contact with Wanda and nodded.

"Clear." She whispered and Wanda nodded. She walked over to the trunk and they both started to rummage through it. "Not a whole lot in here." Beth mumbled and Wanda nodded.

"Let's see what we can find. Even if it is something small, but it's something at least." She said to Beth and they both went through the suitcases. Beth found some flannel shirts for Daryl and Wanda two shirts and a pair of jeans for Cooper. She sighed and found of few clothing for her and Steve, but it's not much. "Was that the last suitcase you went through?" She asked Beth and nodded.

"Yup. At least we found some clothes for the kids and husbands." Wanda nodded and wiped away the sweat with the back of her arm.

"Let's keep going." She said to Beth and nodded. They both checked cars after cars looking for canned foods, medical supplies and the niceties of women products. The heat was starting to beat down on them so they both decided to take a break. Wanda squinted her eyes and looked down the road. They barely made a dent in the car horde. They went through five cars and their bags were barely full. It was mostly clothes for her, Beth, Daryl, Merle, Lila, Cooper and Steve. Wanda found two onesies for Nathaniel, but no baby formula was found. Beth could find a few canned foods, but it something. As they got back to the truck, they were greeted by Lila and Merle.

"Find anything?" The older Dixon asked. She and Wanda shrugged their shoulders. He could tell they are both exhausted from the heat of the sun. It was Wanda who answered first.

"Mostly clothes for you, Daryl, Steve, and the kids. Beth found some canned foods, but no baby formula for Nathaniel." Beth nodded in agreement and a weary sigh left her lips.

"We could only get to five cars before the heat is burning us out." Wanda glanced at Steve who was talking to a man in a sheriff uniform. Her husband was shaking his head and tried to walk away, but the man kept convincing Steve of something. She looked back at Merle.

"Who is he?" She asked and Merle crossed his arms over his chest.

"His name is Rick Grimes. He is Lori's not so dead husband." Wanda's eyes widened and looked back over at Steve and Rick. Her hands clenched on her backpack and pressed her lips in a thin line. Merle put a comforting hand on her shoulder and Beth stood close to her looping her arm around hers. "Don't worry, we're still planning on going to New York as planned." Merle assured her and Wanda nodded. She couldn't help, but worry about this sheriff who happened to be Lori's husband. Her eyebrows furrowed together in confusion and frowned. If Lori's husband was still alive all this time, why did she tell everyone back at the camp he was dead? Was she hiding something? Wanda shook her head and went to go put her backpack away in the truck. She doesn't need to worry about everyone else outside of their group. All she needs to worry about is her husband and her kids. They were her priority and no one would get in her way.
