It was a habit. A very bad habit, but Wanda couldn't help herself at the moment. Luckily Orisa wasn't around to scold her and tell her not to bite at her nails.

She was nervous. That's an understatement.

The elevator ride was soon over and when Wanda's eyes landed on Prince T'Challa, she noticed that he was smiling at her.

"Are you OK, miss Maximoff?" he asked, while he looked at her amused.

She nodded and stopped biting on her nails, shoving her hand in her jacket pocket. There… so she couldn't bite her manicured nails anymore.

The elevator door opened, so they both stepped out, followed by the Prince's bodyguards. Since he was shot, his advisors insisted on more security for the Prince.

As she looked ahead, Wanda remembered this place from Adigun's memory. Everything's exactly as in his head. The hall and OMG.

The wide glass door. At this point, Wanda was seriously hyperventilating. All of a sudden, she stopped in her tracks. She instantly pulled her hand out from her jacket pocket and nervously began biting on her finger nails once more. The air-conditioning was on, but still she felt as if her surroundings had caught fire.

The Prince noticed that Wanda had stopped walking, so he turned around. "Are you OK, Miss Wanda?" he asked, genuinely concerned.

He then closed the gap between them and when the Prince stood right in front of her, Wanda held onto him, gripping him tightly on his upper arm.

Wanda knew it wasn't appropriate, holding royalty like that, but at that moment she didn't care. From the corners of her eyes she noticed one of the men's disapproving look, but she had bigger issues to deal with right now.

" Are you alright, Miss? Do you want to take a seat or a glass of water?" the Prince asked.

Wanda shook her head." Prince T'Challa, I don't know what is happening to me right now." She replied, her eyes welling up." I don't know if I…" she attempted to explain, but the words refused to leave her lips.

"Do you need me to bring you back to the Palace?" he asked, his brows furrowed.

At that, Wanda's eyes fluttered shut, and said." No! I need to see him." she replied, her voice breaking at the end.

The Prince nodded and grabbed her hand, squeezing it lightly in encouragement.

"Breathe, just breathe Miss Maximoff." He said, smiling at her.

Wanda did as he instructed, and was surprised that it worked, as she felt herself calming down bit by bit. After a few minutes, she let go of the Prince and apologized.

"Sorry, Prince. I didn't mean to grip you like that. I apologize."

He smiled at her." It's fine, Miss Wanda. I know you're anxious to see him. It's only natural. Let's go." The Prince replied and began to move forward.

Wanda nodded and as she walked through the familiar hall, she felt all kinds emotions washing over her.

She was finally going to see him… Bucky.

Wanda did her very best to act calmly, but at the moment it seemed like her heart wanted to leap out of her chest. Dadum. Dadum. Dadum it went. After waiting impatiently for three long days, she was finally going to see Bucky. She couldn't back out now!

As they finally reached the wide glass door, the Prince punched in the code. It opened with a beeping sound.

"Come on in, Miss Maximoff." He invited, and smiled at her.

Wanda walked through the glass door, her heart beating probably a hundred miles per hour. At first, she was hesitant and terrified to go near him, but as the booth came into view, Wanda all of a sudden couldn't wait anymore. She strode towards the booth, not even looking at or greeting the people there.

She assumed they were Prince T'Challa's scientists and doctors, the ones keeping an eye and making sure the man in cryogenic stasis stayed alive, though frozen.

When she reached the booth, Wanda smiled through her tears. It's been such a long time since she felt like this, her heart about to burst from pure happiness. For a few moments, she took in the sight before her.

Bucky's eyes were closed and in her opinion he looked so at peace. It seemed like he was having a dreamless sleep… Wanda slowly brought her fingers up to touch the glass at one point.

This whole time The Prince and the others had been silently watching Wanda. One scientist wanted to interrupt her, as he watched her almost touching the glass, but Prince T'Challa shook his head and mouthed." Let her be. Give her a few moments."

Wanda was holding in her breath, and as her fingertips finally collided with the glass, a loud sob escaped her pink lips." Bucky." She whispered.

She desperately wanted to do so much more than to watch him. Wanda wanted to tell him how much she had missed him and Gosh, she wanted to hug him, and hold him close to her… Like he had done, when they were in New Orleans. He had kissed the top of her head and also her forehead multiple times. Wanda remembered how it felt... so comforting, making her feel at ease.

She just had to close her eyes and it was like she could still feel his warm lips touching the skin on her forehead. It seemed so innocent at the time, but now she realized it meant so much more to her. When he said goodbye the following week, Bucky looked so lost. As she grabbed his right hand for the very last time, Wanda felt her heart shatter into million pieces. She remembered how his blue eyes looked stormy, instead of its usually clear nuance.

"Bye, Wanda. Please stay safe." He whispered, so soft she barely heard it.

As tears spilled from her emerald eyes, Bucky gently unlock their hands and brought his right hand up to her face. He cupped her face one last time and caressed her cheek for the last time with his thumb. And then he was gone… disappeared in Prince T'Challa's Private jet.

It happened three years ago and yet it felt like yesterday. The gnawing pain in her heart she felt that day could only mean one thing. Something in her head clicked and fell in its place. How come she hadn't seen it before? How come she had been so blind for all these years? It dawned on Wanda just now that they were right this whole time she was in Wakanda.

Adigun, Orisa, Abayomi, Zoputa and even Prince T'Challa; they had seen it and realized it before her.

Wanda shook her head, a loud sob escaping her plump lips, as she realized. She was in love with him…

"Miss Maximoff?" she heard a voice say.

That broke the 'spell' she was in seconds ago. Wanda turned around and looked up at the Prince." Yes, Prince T'Challa?" she replied, her voice breaking in the end.

He locked eyes with her, a sad look in his eyes. "You have seen him. We have to go now."
