Chapter Two: Civil War
It's been a year and things are going amazing, I feel like I have more control over my powers everyday and Wanda is doing amazing too. Nat taught her how to mask her accent and hide in plane sight now that everyone knows her from Sokovia. Honestly it's really weird hearing her voice without the accent but kinda sexy too not gonna lie. Cap, Wanda, Nat, and Sam are all gone on a mission in Lagos; I always worry about her even though I know she can handle herself. I'm her girlfriend, it's my job to worry. I keep sitting in front of the TV waiting for news to arise of The Avengers because we all know wherever they are the media follows. It feels like forever before a breaking news story floods every news channel in existence. Breaking News: Captain America and The Avengers have blown up a building in Lagos, civilian casualties undetermined. In the background they play footage of Wanda using her powers to contain an explosion, she misfires and it goes straight into a building.
"Holy shit", I say as I set the remote on the coffee table
I'm in disbelief as I see my love drop to her knees in pain after realizing what she just did. I immediately pick up my phone and call Wanda, it takes a few tries but she finally answers. All I hear is fire trucks and chaos in the background. I hear the panic in her voice as she tries to explain what just happened and her thick accent comes flooding back.
"Wanda? Honey? It's okay, you're okay. I know you didn't mean to do it, you were just trying to protect everyone", I say as I try to sooth her over the phone.
She rambles on for what feels like forever before cap takes the phone from her hand, "Ivy were on our way back, tell Vision to get the meeting room ready", he says before hanging up the phone.
I immediately turn off the TV and run to find Vision, I bump into him in the hallway and tell him everything that's going on. He pats my head and reassures me that it will be okay. He then races off to perform his duties given to him by Cap. I pace for the next few hours in my room waiting for them to get back when I get a text from Wanda saying their approaching the compound, I race to the meeting room so I can be ready when it starts. We're in deep shit and we all know it, every government is going to try and dismantle The Avengers. They all enter the room with signs of the previous fray all over them, the smell of a campfire lingers on their clothes. Wanda comes and sits next to me, she doesn't say anything but I can tell she's anxious because she won't let go of my hand.
"Alright guys, we all know what happened back there and we all know it wasn't good", Cap said as he put his shield in the corner of the room.
We spend the next hours talking about what to do if the government comes after us, we come up with a bunch of plans just incase some of them fail. Wanda doesn't talk through the whole meeting which is understandable after what happened. After the meeting I take Wanda back to my room so we can talk. I sat her down on the bed and took both her beautiful hands in mine,
"Love please talk to me, I know this is hard and I know what happened was really bad but it's not your fault. You have to believe me when I say that, I know you didn't mean to", I say as I rub my hands on her cheeks.
Tears flood her eyes and fall down her face and I wipe each one as it falls, "Ivy I'm a monster, I killed innocent people, I killed children", she says as her breathing becomes more panicked.
I don't know what to say, I don't think I've ever been in her situation before. I take her in my arms and hold her while she sobs into my chest. It's the most heartbreaking thing when the woman you love is in pain and there's nothing you can do about it. She cries until she eventually falls asleep in my arms and of course I'm not going to wake her so I settle down and fall asleep too. I wake up to a flood of texts from Cap and Nat saying that Secretary Ross is paying us a visit and that he has a proposition. I wake Wanda up and tell her what is going on.
"They're coming because of me aren't they?", she asks as she starts to bite her nails.
"We don't know that love, all we know is that they have a proposal for the whole team, I think we're all in deep shit. I know I've fucked up on missions before", I say as I gently run my fingers through her hair.
We both get dressed and head to the meeting to see that Ross has already arrived, we join the rest of the team and he starts. He drags on and on about all the times we fucked up on missions and how the avengers are heroes but that we're also dangerous. He eventually gets to the proposal,
"I think we have a solution..The Sokovia Accords.", He says as he places a large book in front of Wanda. "Approved by 117 countries, it states the avengers will no longer be a private organization. Instead they'll operate under a united nations panel".
I become slightly enraged by his words and Wanda can sense it so she places a hand on my wrist to keep me from punching Ross in the face. The Avengers were formed to protect people no matter what and now they want to put us on a shelf and take us down whenever they want to use us, it's fucking bullshit. The meeting concludes with Ross saying that if we don't sign this stupid accord that we must retire and never save people again or we'll be criminals. Of course after Ross leaves Steve and Tony start fighting about whether or not to sign it. All I know is I'm not signing it, even if you put a gun to my head. I storm off to my room in a rage. Wanda stays to talk to the rest of the team, I just hope she doesn't agree to sign it. If we sign that we're giving up our right to choose.
A few days later Nat leaves to represent the avengers at the signing of the accords in Vienna, I still can't believe one of my best friends who once told the government to kiss her ass wants to sign this stupid thing. Wanda and I are snuggled on the couch watching live footage of the day when we see an explosion on Camera. Someone attacked the event and King T'Chaka of Wakanda is dead. We both sit there in shock as we watch the building engulf in flames. The suspect was named as James Barnes, I had heard stories of Bucky from Steve but I never thought he would do something this terrible. I'm startled away from the TV with a text from Cap 'Stay at the compound and keep Wanda safe, they signed the accords and if we interfere they'll arrest us. I'm going after Bucky'.
The next day I'm in the kitchen cooking for Wanda when I hear footsteps behind me and when I turn around I see her standing before me with the most enchanting smile.
"Is that paprikash?", she asks as she walks toward me
"I thought it might lift your spirits my love", I say while mixing in some spices
She takes a spoon and dips it in the dish, "Spirits lifted", she says while setting the spoon on the counter.
"Well in my defense I've never cooked this before", I say teasingly
She boots me to the other side of the counter and starts mixing in the correct spices. Watching her cook is so magical, the way she knows exactly what to do is amazing.
"I used to think of myself one way but after this...", her hand ignites with the red magic that flow through her, "I am something else, I'm still me I think but that's not what everyone else sees".
"You know what I see? I see the woman I love most in the entire world and the beautiful powers that flow her. I see a strong woman who just wants to do good in the world and it's okay that she messes up sometimes. I wish I could remember how I got my powers and how I got in that wheat field but what I do know is that it was the best thing that ever happened to me because it lead me to you".
Steve is on the run, the government and Tony are hunting him down for violating the accords. It's late one night when Wanda and I feel like there's someone watching us. Wanda uses her powers to fling a knife at the unknown assailant, we breath a sigh of relief when it's just clint standing before us.
"Come on guys, cap needs our help", he grabs our hands and starts taking us to the exit when vision fazes through the wall
He tries to stop us from leaving which in turn causes a battle between the three of us. Wanda eventually gets vision in a death grip and starts forcing him through the floor.
"Wanda if you do this they will never stop being afraid of you", Vision says with tension in his voice
"I can't control their fear, only my own", Wanda says as she finally forces him through the floor.
Clint makes a quick pit stop to pick up Scott Lang before getting on a plane to Germany There we meet Steve, Bucky, and Sam. We're preparing for a battle I can feel it, Clint wouldn't have told us to bring our suits if we were just going to play checkers with them. We hear sirens as they start evacuating the airport because tony and his friends have arrived.
(author's notes: Hi guys! Sorry to interrupt but if you're reading this then I hope you've seen Civil War, the battle at the airport is fucking awesome especially Wanda's scenes. I've spent hours going back and forth in my head on how I'm going to describe this battle and sadly I can't, it's just too good. So I'm skipping to the part where they've already been captured and they're in prison. Ivy was captured along with Wanda, Scott, and Clint. Again if you haven't seen the movie you need to watch for spoilers. Thanks for listening...okay bye)
I cry out Wanda's name as she's being ripped from my arms, they captured us and we all are in different cells. They put something on Wanda and I so that we can't use out powers. I honestly don't fully know what it is but it hurts and I don't like it. As I'm sitting in my cell I hear Wanda's voice call out to me.
("Ivy my love can you hear me?"). Wanda says ("I'm trying to create a telepathic bond between us").
Now I get it she's in my head, that's why I can hear her. I start to think really hard and I just hope she can hear me, ("Yes Wanda I can hear you and I'm scared. Where are you?")
("Good then it's working, I'm in the cell next to yours. I know it's scary my love but I won't let them hurt you, I promise").
Three weeks go by and my telepathic bond with Wanda is getting stronger, we talk every day and I get to see her once per day for a few minutes but even then I'm not allowed to touch her which is hard. One day as I'm sitting in my cell I hear a commotion start to stir up with the guards. I hear one of them say Captain America and that's when I knew that Steve was there to save us.
Footnotes: Alright guys that was chapter 2, I worked really hard on it and watched Civil War two times through so I could get this chapter perfect for you. In chapter 3 I am skipping to the part where Ivy and Wanda go to Europe to be alone together for awhile and that starts Infinity War. All telepathic conversations between Ivy and Wanda will be marked with parentheses so you guys know the difference. I am skipping all the action of Infinity War and Only doing fluff the next two chapters. Both Ivy and Wanda will survive the snap and things will escalate in their relationship after chapter 3. I really hope you guys enjoyed and have an amazing morning, noon, or evening.
