Song | Control by Halsey.

"I'm bigger than my body.
I'm colder than this home.
I'm meaner than my demons.
I'm bigger than these bones.

And all the kids cried out,
'Please, stop. You're scaring me.'
I can't help this awful energy.
Goddamn right,
You should be scared of me.
Who is in control?"

The entire Avengers Tower is engulfed in a red energy, every corner and crevice turning scarlet like blood. You jump from your bed, hearing a high-pitched, ear-piercing scream, one that you've sadly heard many times before.

Wanda Maximoff.

You lunge from your bed, running out into the hallway and seeing the others already there. "What the hell?" Tony asks, rubbing his eyes. "Is she at it again? That's the second time this week."

You continue to hurry to Wanda's room, the one with the red light coming out from under the door. "Shut up, Tony. She can't help it."

You get to Wanda's door, trying to open it. You shove your shoulder against it, but nothing works. "Steve! Help me." Steve comes over and helps you push the door down, and he waits as you go further inside. "Thanks. I'm good."

"You sure?"

You give him a nod, and he walks back towards the others. You've taken care of a nightmarish Wanda before.

Everything in her room is levitating and crimson. Even Wanda herself floats a foot or so above her bed, her hair swirling around her as she continues to cry out. You hurry over to her and pull her back down onto the bed. "Wanda!" She can't hear you. "Wanda!"

She wakes, and with a crash, everything comes back down in her room. The crimson color goes away. She's out of her nightmare. She sits up. "Did I hurt anyone?"

You shake your head. "Just a few lamps who are very cross with you."

Wanda nods. "My mind is like a disease."

"It's okay now."

"One day, I will hurt someone. My demons, they are too strong."

You tuck a strand of her ebony hair behind her ear, placing a kiss on her forehead. "Not today."
