Wanda was sitting on the bed with her legs crossed as she watched Natasha look down on her pc on her lap. The woman had picked up her laptop the second they got back to their room. With a notepad balancing on the armrest and the pc in front of her, the redhead didn't pay any attention to Wanda other than speaking her thoughts out loud.

Wanda was finding a really hard time focusing on what Natasha was actually saying, instead her head drifted and all she could think about was what had happened in the hallway.

The whole day had literally been just a blur. And she couldn't help her gay as heart as it was freaking out over the fact that Natasha fucking Romanoff had been pinned up against a wall being a moaning, shaking mess underneath her just 15 minutes ago.

She didn't know what to do anymore. It had felt so real, but she knew very well Natasha had only done it to make a distraction. And it had worked, clearly, but it had left Wanda feeling so empty and wanting more so very badly.

Yes, she wanted the woman. She wanted Natasha so badly. She wanted to kiss her every day. She wanted to tell her how much she loved her every night before they went to bed. And she wanted to spend every living second with her for the rest of her life.

Holy fuck she was in love with Natasha Romanoff.

"Wanda!" Wanda jumped in her seat as Natasha snapped at her getting her back on earth. The woman was looking at her with a partly annoyed and partly worried look as she was studying her, not hiding the fact that she was again analysing and reading her.

Man, Wanda hated how Natasha seemed to be able to read her like an open book. No wonder why the others weren't a fan of her mind-reading.

"Sorry. Lot on my mind" Wanda mumbled giving Natasha a small grimace. She obviously didn't buy it but chose not to comment on it, only looking at her with big eyes waiting for her to continue.

"Found anything?" Wanda asked, trying to change the topic. Natasha only shook her head with a small, defeated smile.

"Yes and no. Going to send it to Maria so she can have a look as well. I'm not going to lie. I don't feel great, and I don't want to make any decisions right now" Natasha replied as she slowly closed her laptop giving Wanda a small smile.

Immediately feeling bad again for even pushing Natasha, Wanda hurried to ask. "What's wrong? Is it your head again?" Natasha let out a small, light sigh, before joining her in bed crawling over the bed slowly.

"I'm not entirely sure, to be honest. Tired. Feeling slightly sick. I think. I can't explain it." Natasha said turning to Wanda. Wanda looked into her green eyes and she could already feel the worry inside Natasha.

Natasha was really worried. She could feel it. It was like it was hanging over the redhead like a cloud filled with heavy, dark thoughts. She could feel how Natasha's inside was trying to twist and turn as if that was going to make the feelings go away. The redhead was uncomfortable, and she clearly didn't know why, she just instinctively knew something was wrong and wanted to get away from the situation. And it killed Wanda knowing the redhead was feeling this way.

Wanda looked at the woman, and she could see how much the woman was thinking, just as much as she could feel it. It was a bazaar feeling. She could literally feel Natasha beside her even when she wasn't trying. She could feel her breath, her every small move. Muscle twitch and lips moving as she bit the inside of it carefully. She could feel how she straightened up beside her even with her eyes closed. She didn't know why or how, but she did. And it scared her.

"I want to sleep," Natasha whispered. It had just passed 12:30pm and they had slept through most of the night. They both knew Natasha shouldn't be feeling tired right now. They had slept 8 hours and then spent most of the day laying by the pool. And 8 hours were a lot for the redhead. It was over average for Wanda too. They should be very well rested today.

"Scale then?" Wanda whispered letting Natasha lean on her as Natasha let out a loud sigh.

"Four? Maybe a five. Could very easily move to a six if I'm not careful." Natasha said closing her eyes letting out another sigh.

They sat together in silence for a while. Wanda played with Natasha's hair, braiding part of it carefully, while Natasha was resting her eyes and leaning on her shoulder before they heard Natasha's phone buzz.

"So much for peace and quiet," Natasha mumbled not budging from Wanda's side still leaning on her shoulder. Wanda didn't answer her, instead, she carefully floated the phone over to the redhead letting her take the phone from the red power ball.

Being as polite as possible she made sure not to peak over the redhead's shoulder as she read whatever she had just been sent. She could feel Natasha move in her arms, getting tense and some more worry started lingering in the back, but Wanda continued to keep her eyes away from the phone.

"Maria is sending some backup. They should be here tomorrow morning." Natasha said slowly, putting her phone down with a frown.

"Why?" Wanda answered really trying not to sound worried even if she really was.

"She got unsure as well and didn't want to take the chance," Natasha answered shortly. Wanda could definitely tell she was hiding something, but she didn't want to push Natasha if she didn't want to tell her. She just had to trust she and Maria had it under control.

"Do you want to nap?" Wanda asked after a moment of silence, leaning back into the bed with a soft sigh as she watched Natasha curl up in her arms as she moved.

"Maybe." Natasha hummed back softly. "I'm sorry you missed out on the tour and now just laying around with me" she added as they both curled up on top of the cover, not even bothering to tuck themselves in considering how warm it already was. Wanda leaned into the hug wrapping herself completely around the older woman.

"That's okay," Wanda whispered back. Natasha hummed back again before letting out a small sigh.

"Thank you for taking care of me." Natasha turned around in her arms and looked at her with two soft eyes.

"You're welcome, Nat." Wanda just answered back before closing her eyes feeling herself falling into a deep sleep, still wrapped in Natasha's arms.

Wanda woke up to feeling two hands playing softly with her hair. Knowing very well it was Natasha she relaxed in the redhead's arms. Feeling her hands softly move over her head and slowly massage her neck Wanda almost drifted off again. The redhead continued to slowly, and very carefully play with her hair as she moved in the bed. Wanda didn't care so much about what was going around her before she felt two hands under her head and her head got lifted onto Natasha's lap.

Wanda lifted her head carefully to look at Natasha who just smiled back down at her letting her fingers drag over the side of her head in the most pleasurable way. She couldn't remember the last time somebody had played with her hair like this.

"You sleep okay, Malyshka? «baby girl»" Wanda looked at her with big eyes as she listened to Natasha talk, letting the Russian word roll off her tongue in the most perfect, incredible way.

"Dievčatko? «baby girl»" Wanda mumbled lazily back after a while, trying to see if she actually had some knowledge of Russian or not.

"Mhm. You speak Russian, love?" Natasha whispered back softly letting her hand still glide through her hair.

Trying to ignore the fact that she just called her "love", knowing it probably was just to keep the soft kind tone in the room, Wanda shook her head carefully in Natasha's lap.

"Not really. But my mom did speak some Russian. I know the mere basics." Wanda hummed back.

"So, you read Cyrillic letters or no?" Natasha continued to ask still very soft in her tone, making Wanda not feel too stupid as she shook her head again.

"No. never learned," Wanda replied looking up at the other woman who just nodded softly.

"That's okay, just wondering," Natasha mumbled back still just playing with her hair. She had so low walls, and Wanda wasn't used to Natasha being so calm around her. Yes, they were friends and all, but she had always been very awake and aware of everything around her. But now, she was so calm and seemed to be trusting her. And Wanda was happy she did, she just was so confused about why.

They continued to spend an hour in bed where Natasha was just playing with her hair talking softly to her. And Wanda was on the edge of falling asleep again for what felt like the tenth time when she heard Natasha's stomach growl. She looked up with a small smile, meeting Natasha's eyes who shined back at her as she shrugged.

"Guess that means dinner?" Natasha asked as Wanda slowly sat up in the bed watching as Natasha stretched her arms over her head flexing her abs as she did so. Wanda could only try to keep her eyes to herself as Natasha jumped out of bed and Wanda had no other choice than just to nod fast joining Natasha in changing into some clothes and out of their swimwear from earlier.

"Just doing the big restaurant here?" Wanda asked as she slipped a t-shirt on. Natasha nodded back with a small smile.

"Sounds like a plan."

The restaurant was very busy today. Since the club was staying here today most of the couples had ended up joining them eating in the main restaurant. And them plus the normal other resort guests it was quite packed. Still, they ended up with a table tucked into a corner. And Wanda was happy they did, giving them some space from the rest of the hotel.

It was nice actually getting time to eat dinner with Natasha this time. Nothing was on their mind other than having a good time, and this time Natasha didn't seem to be in pain the whole dinner either.

It was really a lovely dinner until they got to the dessert part. Wanda had really forgotten why they were even here before Harrie, Lexie, Peter and Carl all joined them.

Not only did it remind Wanda they had a mission to complete, and Maria and Natasha both being unsure about the whole thing, but now they also got interrupted in a nice dinner with some potentially dangerous humans.

Natasha thankfully kept her cool and talked as if nothing was ever wrong. Wanda on the other hand was struggling to follow her mentor's lead. She really tried to stay as calm as possible, but she had a bad feeling, and she really didn't know why.

It felt off that they had arrived together. And Wanda felt even more worried when Carl asked Natasha, or Laura, to join him to give her some of the souvenirs they had gotten yesterday with Harrie. Why would they want to split them all now? Why Harrie and Natasha. And why did the rest have to stay back?

She tried to fight it. She didn't want the redhead to go alone, nor did she want to be left alone with Lexie and Peter. It felt like a trap, it had to be a trap. It was no way, right? How could Natasha say yes to this? The excuse that the other three needed to stay back to their food order was ridiculous and it was no way she was believing it. So why was Natasha nodding and agreeing as if this obviously wasn't putting herself in danger?

Wanda was tapping her foot under the table. They had been gone for 10 minutes. It was way too long to just get a souvenir from their room. She could feel something was wrong. And she was getting nervous. She could tell Lexie and Peter were thinking the same thing. She didn't know if that was because they were in on it too, or they were just worried as well. But whatever reason it was, it was a really bad thing that they were feeling it too.

"I think I'm going to check up on them. Just in case something has happened with Laura." Wanda finally said pushing the chair away from the table.

"I'm coming with!" Lexie exclaimed standing up just as fast. Wanda just shook her head.

"No. it's okay. I'm sure it is nothing. You can just keep Peter with the company. If it's Laura then I know how to handle it, but it might just be nothing, so we don't need all of us to go." Wanda answered looking at her with a kind look. She couldn't have Lexie hanging over her too. She needed to stay back. If she was bad she would be very badly outnumbered, and even if Lexie somehow wasn't in on it, then having a civil person over her shoulder would almost be worse.

She didn't let Lexie answer before she left the table. She had to force herself not to run out of the room and up to Carl's room, knowing she had to make sure not to get any more attention from others.

They hadn't gone through Carl and Peter's room, that had to be why they were there now. That had to be the reason. Because they knew.

Wanda stopped right in front of the door staring at it. She couldn't hear anything. Nothing in the hall or through the door. It sounded empty, but she already knew it wasn't.

She took a deep breath before putting her hand on the door, immediately she felt the back of her eyes burn feeling the presence of two humans inside. Both alive, but one in grave pain.

She didn't know what came over her before she slammed the door open. If it was her powers that took over or if she was just going mental, she didn't know. Either way, she was in the room already, with her eyes shining in burning red and both hands filled with powers just when the safety of two guns clicked off. One, just inches away from her head, and one inch away from Natasha's.

A/N: yes. cliffhanger. of course. I will always torture my readers. Also, I don't speak Russian or Slovak/Czech, which are the two languages I am basing Sokovian on. Just like an FYI xD
