The third chapter is mainly a conversation between Wanda and Abby, because I like writing dialogues :) In the next chapters there will be more action.
Chapter 3:
"So Canada?" Abby asks. She is sitting in the motel room on one of the beds. They have placed an extra bed on the chamber for her. Even it is already three days that she is staying with the Avengers, still it is really weird to sleep in the same room as the people she never thought she would ever met. But being with them feels also kind of good, like it was meant that she would meet them and accepted her. Still Abby feels sort of a loner, she always has been, or at least since the accident... She doesn't mind, but sometimes she wishes that she had the ability to comfort people, to be normal and more social and having loads of friends to spend time with doing nice things.
Wanda says something. On the moment Abby is alone with Scarlet Witch. Natasha, Sam and Steve are in the city doing some shopping for their travel.
"Huh?" Abby shakes her head to lose her thoughts. "Sorry I didn't hear you.'
"I answered your question. That the plan is travelling to Canada."
"Oh Yeah... But then what? I mean what do you do as fugitive?" Abby asks further.
"Actually not much," Wanda grins. "We are surviving and trying to not get caught. As long as we are in America the government will try to chase us down, but if we not in this country they can't do us harm."
"Quite shitty that you are in that position now."
'Yeah, but we did choose for this ourselves."
"How was it like living at the Avengers compound?" Abby switches from subject, she has been so curious about the Avengers compound, that it is actually peculiar she didn't ask it before. She always wondered how the superheroes would live and somewhere she couldn't even imagine that they had difficulties, but now she knows better. Of course they have, they are human too, she corrects herself in her mind. I really need to stop thinking, Abby thinks if she again didn't catch what Wanda is saying.
"Where are you with your mind?" Wanda asks her when Abby apologizes once again.
"I still can't believe that this is really happening." Abby is silent for a moment. "I just had no place to go for a long time and this just feels good... Besides that I also like to overthink things and then I get somewhat lost in my thoughts," Abby smiles.
"I do know how it feels to be alone... After my brother..." Wanda stops talking and sighs. Abby looks at her, but doesn't say anything. She doesn't know what to say and it is on Wanda to tell her what happened, she won't push.
"I really enjoyed staying at the Avengers compound, it just felt like a home," Wanda says while staring off into space. Her eyes are field with sadness.
"It must been really tuff to leave the others behind..."
"Yes it was, I do miss them and I regret that the fight happened. But I also understand Tony... Vision had not really a choice to stay with him I think," she mumbles to herself.
"Who is Vision? Is that the guy with the cape and red looking face?" She remembers seeing him on a video about the battle of Sokovia.
"Yes that's him, although he looks more human now. He is a good friend of mine." Wanda looks on her phone. "When is the rest coming back?" She sighs.
"I don't know, probably soon." Abby walks to the window and watches the rain falling down on the street. Three people are walking to the Motel. They don't have an umbrella and their face is covered under their hoodies. They carry two big bags filled with stuff, that Abby cannot see. "There they are!" She says to Wanda.
"Hey we are back!" Natasha says when she walks through the door. "Are you ready to go?"
Wanda looks up from her phone. "Right now?"
"Yeah we've got food for on the road and a car of course." Abby wonders where the car is, because she didn't see one. But she decides not to ask, she will find it out soon anyway.
"We can't stay here so much longer, some people recognized us, so it won't take long that the police starts investigating, so pack your stuff," Steve commands.
"Yes boss," Sam says playful.
Abby smiles at Sams commentary, her stuff is already packed, in fact she never packed it out, so she waits until the rest is ready. That doesn't take long and within ten minutes they are ready to go. "I take the front seat!" Sams says quickly when they arrive at the car. Natasha turns her eyes. "Childish man," she mumbles.
The hired car is a black minibus and it has a small trunk. The minibus has six chairs in three rows. Steve and Sam are sitting in the front, while Natasha takes a seat behind Steve and Wanda wants to sit in the last row in the back. Abby decides to sit next to Black Widow, so everybody has quite a lot of space around them. The suitcases and bags are crammed in the trunk.
Steve drives away from the motel and rides to the highway. The music thumps through the car and Sam is humming the melodies of the classics songs. Abby looks outside and watches to the nature that flashes past the window. Her lips form a smile, she is happy to be here and it doesn't matter what she will phase because she chose this path.
