Characters: Wanda, Natasha
"Nightmares?"
Wanda jumped and whirled around to see Natasha seated at the kitchen table, knees drawn up to her chest. She wondered how long the other woman had been there watching her; Natasha scared her with her stealth. Even for a spy, she was abnormally quiet.
Slowly, she nodded. There was no point in lying to her teammate, even if she was slightly embarrassed at being caught awake.
"Me too," said the ex-assassin in a flat voice, gesturing towards the empty chair next to her. Slowly, Wanda sat down. She realized that there were two steaming mugs of tea on the table, one right in front of her. How long had Natasha known she was awake? She'd only walked in here a minute ago.
"Let's talk about them," she suggested, pulling a mug towards her and taking a sip.
Wanda still didn't make a sound.
"Alright, I'll go first. I didn't exactly have a normal childhood..."
Author's Note: I think this is my first fanfic to pass the Bechdel Test...*hangs head* Well, at least I've gotten around to it.
Anyways, I figure that even if Civil War won't be happening in this continuity, Age of Ultron would be. And since Civil War won't be happening, Wanda and Natasha would get along pretty well in this continuity. Being the only girls on the team and all...Anyway, I also figure that Wanda would be left with some lingering issues after her stint with Strucker, voluntary or not, while the whole thing with Pietro would not help her psyche much either. So in this continuity, she can at least turn to Natasha for a bit of comfort.
Again, if you like what you're reading, don't hesitate to review! I always welcome suggestions!
