At the moment, Wanda was letting the three women pamper her. Although she was ashamed at first, uncomfortable that they saw her bare, Wanda decided to do as they asked of her. As she stepped into the bath tub, her eyes almost rolled into the back of her head… it felt so good! The water was warm, and inviting. As her whole body was covered in said water, Wanda let her mind go blank. The women had put all kinds of oils, and soaps in the tub, the scent of it so wonderful, Wanda thought that she had died and gone to heaven.
"So good." Wanda whispered, her eyes still closed, enjoying everything at the moment.
The women were scrubbing her body with some kind of leaf, making Wanda moan softly. At that, Orisa giggled constantly.
"What? Something wrong, Orisa?" Wanda asked, and opened her eyes." If you don't want me to make those noises, you should stop pampering me." She continued, and closed her eyes again, while letting out a breathy sigh.
Orisa, the youngest woman, giggled again, finding it so hilarious how Wanda was acting. It was then when Zoputa, the oldest of the three, walked inside the bathroom again with a vase in her hand.
"Miss Wanda?" Abayomi said, as she shook Wanda lightly on the shoulder.
"Huh? What?" she replied, as her eyes fluttered open lazily; Wanda had never felt so relaxed before in all her life.
"We saved the best for last, Miss Wanda. Zoputa will add milk, honey and some herbs to the mixture in your bath. It moisturizes and exfoliates, leaving your sensitive skin silky soft and giving it a healthy glow." Abayomi explained, as Zoputa poured the contents of the vase in the tub.
"Oh, my." Wanda sighed, her eyes fluttering shut once more." I don't ever want to leave this tub again." Wanda softly said, while all three women burst out into laughter.
~ Three hours later ~
At the moment, Wanda was staring at her own reflection, in awe of what she was seeing.
Wanda looked behind her and asked. "Orisa, is this a magic mirror?"
"No, Miss Wanda. It is not. That is just the way you look at this moment." The woman with the dimples replied.
"Seriously?" Wanda replied, not quite believing her own eyes at the moment.
"You look stunning, Miss Wanda!" Zoputa added, as she gently placed a necklace around Wanda's neck.
At that, Wanda gasped, shaking her head firmly." No, no, no! I can't accept that!"
"You are just borrowing it for the evening, for dinner. You have to look your best, for our Prince." Zoputa said, looking straight in Wanda's eyes.
"But—"Wanda attempted to decline, but it was then when there was a knock on the door.
At that, Orisa placed a finger on her lips, and said." Shhh."
Wanda waited impatiently, as the three women walked out the bedroom. The man walked in, a serious look on his face, and closed the door behind him.
"Miss, I hear that I can be of service to you?" he said, his eyes locked on hers.
Wanda stood up, and introduced herself." My name is Wanda." And shook his hand.
"Pleasure to meet you, Miss Wanda. My name is Adigun. " He replied, while nodding at her.
"Orisa asked me a favor. She had asked me to help you, but I'm not sure if I can." The man said, the look on his face expressionless.
At that, Wanda's throat immediately closed up. He wasn't going to help?!
"But why? Why won't you help me?" She asked, her voice trembling.
"I'm so sorry, Miss. Our Prince will not approve of it." He firmly said.
"And why is that?" she asked, her brows furrowing.
"Miss, I am really sorry, but maybe if you asked Prince T'Challa he will tell you. But I'm not at liberty to say, I apologize. I have to go now." The man explained, looking at Wanda apologetically and began walking away.
"Wait! Please." Wanda began, making the man stop in his tracks." I just wanna see him. Is that so much to ask?" she pleaded, as a tear rolled down her cheek.
At that, the man sighed deeply and turned around to face Wanda." Miss, I am loyal to our Prince, have been my whole life. I cannot start breaking his rules now." He said, his voice gentle.
Without her accord, Wanda's tears flowed down her cheeks." Well, I am sorry also." She replied, and held her hands up, focusing on the man in front of her.
Wanda dreaded doing what she was about to do, but there was no other way! It had to be done. Within a moment the man's eyes had turned red, making it possible for Wanda to get inside his head and search for the answers she was seeking. At that moment, Wanda experienced his memories, her heart almost exploding in her chest, as she felt the love he had for Orisa. As her eyes fluttered shut, Wanda searched in his memory for that one thing, but the man was resisting at that point.
'God, he had one strong mind.' Was what Wanda thought, while going through his memories.
The man was strong; he was fighting her, doing his very best to stop her from going in deeper into his conscious mind, but Wanda… Wanda was stronger, breaking all the barriers he was putting up for her. In her mind, Wanda saw a huge, modern building, surrounded by thick forest and a waterfall.
'Deeper, I have to go deeper in his mind.' She thought, as Wanda forced herself inside.
It was then, when she saw a long hall that lead to an elevator. As the door of said elevator opened, Wanda stepped inside and automatically pushed the RED button. After a few minutes the door opened, and she stepped into another hall. As Wanda walked towards a wide glass door, she felt Adigun struggling against her once more. He was fighting with all his might to prevent Wanda from reaching the glass door.
At that, Wanda felt her body coming to a halt. She admired Adigun though, because never before had she experienced such a resistance from someone she was trying to get information from by using her powers. At one point, Wanda had to use all of her strength to fight the man off. She did that by focusing on the glass door. As she struggled, Wanda finally was able to move forward. At that, she heard Adigun scream in his mind, making the hairs on the back of her neck stand up, but Wanda couldn't give up now. She was so close!
Finally, she stood right in front of said door, her heart beating wildly against her rib cage. Wanda automatically punched in the code, making the wide, glass door open with a beeping sound. As Wanda stepped inside, she saw a dozen monitors and lots of equipment. From the spot she was standing at the moment, Wanda saw the booth!
Her mind told her to move forward, but her body wasn't cooperating, making her groan loudly, forcing herself to reach her destination... that was Adigun resisting. With much difficulty Wanda closed the gap between her and the booth. At a certain point, she only had to take three steps and she had reached him.
As his frozen face came into view, Wanda smiled, tears pooling in her sparkling eyes. It's been a long time, since she felt like this, her heart almost bursting from happiness. And then she stood right in front of him. At that, Wanda slowly brought her fingers up to touch the glass. But just as her fingertips were about to collide with said glass, Adigun's mind attacked Wanda once more, making his memories and thoughts clash with hers! At one point, Wanda only saw and felt her own memories… painful memories… of the moment her parents died, she felt the gut wrenching pain that tore at her heart and soul, when Pietro died, she saw how she said goodbye to a certain man, seeing him walk away, as tears pooled in her eyes, and then she saw Steve… he was looking at her, the light in his eyes almost gone completely.
At one point, it became too much! Wanda struggled with all her strength, as Adigun forced her out of his head. In her mind she screamed at the top of her lungs, pleading for him to stop, but he stood tall and firm, and said." Get out!"
At that, Wanda and Adigun abruptly went back to reality, both gasping loudly, as their eyes opened, still shaken up by the battle they had fought against each other. Tears were pooling in Wanda's eyes, as her eyes landed on him. Her hands were trembling, her knees giving out at one point and that's when she collapsed on the bedroom floor.
At that, Adigun looked at Wanda, his face filled with anger and disbelieve.
Wanda slowly looked straight at Adigun, ashamed of what she had done to him, while tears spilled from her pretty eyes." I'm sorry. I really am. I just had to— I had to see him." She whispered, while a sob escaped her plump red lips.
Adigun knew that it was his duty to report to the Prince what Wanda had done to him, because now she knew where their frozen guest was and knew exactly how to get there. That was TOP SECRET; no one was supposed to know that the man who used to be The Winter Soldier, was here in Wakanda. For three years the Prince had done everything in his power to protect said man from the outside world. Prince T'Challa had promised Captain America to hide him from everyone, friends or enemies, and he had done so until now. Their security had been breached! Not by a spy, or a genius hacker, but by this young gifted woman who at the moment was sitting on the bedroom floor, her body trembling, her eyes filled with remorse. Adigun was loyal to their Prince and wanted to be till the day he died. He was a good and righteous man, raised by two parents who taught him right from wrong since he was a little boy. So at this very moment he knew that the right thing to do is to tell their Prince about the security breach...
However, Adigun also was a man with a heart of gold. Not only did Wanda get inside Adigun's head, but in those last minutes when he battled Wanda in his mind, Adigun also experienced her memories, loss and pain. He didn't pity Wanda, but he felt empathy, because he literally felt all the agony and pain that she had endured in her young life. How old was she? 20, 21? And that had been her life? Adigun shook his head at that; life had been so cruel to this young woman.
"Are you going to tell the Prince what I have done?" he heard Wanda say, her voice shaky.
At that, Adigun made a choice. If he would tell the Prince about what Wanda had done, Adigun knew what was about to follow. The consequences would be disastrous for Wanda. So Adigun chose the other option, even though he didn't know what consequences lay ahead… Not for Wanda, nor for the kingdom and the Prince, and most definitely not for him.
He chose the second option, because deep down he knew that it was indeed the right thing to do.
Note: Hi you all. :)
So, I don't know exactly how old Wanda is, but in my story she was 18 at the time of Civil War. So now she's 21.
I hope that's OK. :) And if you think some things in my story are inaccurate; it might be possible. For that I apologize, but
that is how this story goes.
I hope you liked chap 3.
Let me know what you think? ;)
Thank you for reading.
