Chapter Text

Wanda woke up to see the glass walls of the med room around her.

 

Then the memories came back.

 

Seeing Bucky, flashes of red around her, an intruder attacking outside her force field, screaming, then calm black surrounding her.

 

"Wanda?" Clint's exhausted voice pierced through her thoughts.

 

She turned her head to see Steve and Clint sitting next to her bed.

 

"Hey."

 

"Do you remember what happened?"

 

"Yeah." Wanda looked down at her hands. "Is Bucky okay?"

 

"Bucky's fine, he just feels bad for scaring you." Steve smiled, but it was half-hearted.

 

Wanda's eyes flashed red as she read his thoughts and memories.

 

She saw a crying Bucky, locked in his room for hours. A Bucky that was thinner, with bags under his eyes.

 

"He's not okay." Tears filled Wanda's eyes.

 

Steve opened his mouth to say something comforting, but he was interrupted.

 

"Wanda?" It was Peter.

 

Wanda turned to see Peter in bed, oxygen cannula in his nose and I.V hooked up to his arm.

 

"What happened?" Wanda asked, sensing she wasn't getting the full story from Steve or Clint. "What did I do?"

 

"You gave Peter a seizure when you went into a panic attack."

 

"WHAT?!"

 

"Don't worry, I'm fine!" Peter supplied quickly, smiling for emphasis.

 

"Oh my god." Wanda's breathing got faster.

 

"Calm down." Steve placed a firm hand on her shoulder. "Everyone is safe. You didn't do anything wrong, and nobody blames you for anything that happened."

 

"I COULD'VE KILLED HIM!" Wanda was hyperventilating now.

 

"Wanda! Look at me, I'm fine!" Peter stood up to show her.

 

"EVERYONE GET AWAY FROM ME!" Wanda screamed.

 

"Wanda-"

 

"NOW! BEFORE I HURT ANY MORE OF YOU!"

 

Steve stood up, backing away from the trembling girl along with Clint.

 

Peter looked shocked, but he couldn't leave without ripping out his I.Vs.

 

Wanda didn't notice, building a force field around herself.

Upstairs, Bucky was inside his room, numbly reading a book.

 

"Bucky, I need you to let me in!"

 

Steve.

 

Bucky got up to let him in.

 

"What-" Bucky stopped, seeing the frantic look on Steve's face.

 

"It's Wanda. She needs to see you."

 

"No! The last time I was there-"

 

"You're not listening! She needs to see that you aren't hurt. She thinks that she hurt you."

 

"Alright."

 

They ran to the medical center, where Wanda was shielding herself from all of them.

 

"NO! DON'T COME ANY CLOSER, I MIGHT HURT YOU!"

 

Correction- shielding them from herself.

 

"Wanda. Look, we're fine. You can't hurt us." Bucky said, voice calm and steady.

 

"Bucky?" Wanda's shield dimmed.

 

"Yeah, it's me."

 

"I'm sorry."

 

"There's nothing for you to apologize for." He stepped closer.

 

"Yeah, if anyone has anything to apologize for, it's those HYDRA idiots."

 

Wanda took her force field down.

 

A sad smile graced her face, and tears ran down it.

 

Yeah, they would be okay.
