Sympathy for the Scarlet Witch
Pietro, Wanda thought in her sleep. She tossed and turned in the bed that everyone has insisted she sleep in. Her chaos energy was radiating off of her. Soon many of the students awoke to Wanda's screams. Professor X calmed her with her mind and she awoke with a start to Professor X, Kitty, Tony, Clint, Steve, and Kurt watching her. "Ms. Maximoff may I speak with you privately?" Professor X asked. Wanda nodded and got out of bed, following Professor X out of the room. They sat in a study and Professor X offered her tea, which she gratefully took.
"Ms. Maximoff in my experience you don't use your powers in your sleep unless you are truly terrified. What terrified you so much?" Professor X asked.
"I dreamt that Pietro died in the bombings in Sokovia and he left me. All alone." Wanda said softly.
"Ms. Maximoff I would like to ask your permission to look into your memories." Professor X said. Wanda quickly agreed and let her mind relax. Professor X reached into her mind.
*Wanda's Memories* (All will be more in depth later on in the book)
They were 8 years old and things were looking up for Wanda and Pietro. Their parents were happily married and Pietro and Wanda had lots of fun with their friends. Pietro had always been the more chaotic and rambunctious twin while Wanda had been the calm and quiet twin. They were in detention with some other friends. Pietro led one group and ran out of the room while Wanda stayed with the other.
The bombings of Sokovia were next. Their parents disappear into a hole in their 5 story apartment building. Pietro pulled Wanda under their bed and the next shell hit right in front of them. Wanda stared at the name, Stark.
When the rescuers finally came Wanda and Pietro were huddled under that bed screaming for help. When they got there Pietro insisted they tale Wanda first. They both got out quickly and then somebody took them away.
The next year of their life was a blank slate, as if nothing happened. The next few years up until they were 15 were spent in orphanages and group homes, where there were many children orphaned by the bombings.
When they were 15 they'd applied for emancipation and got it. They had a small apartment that they shared and when they were 16 they started attending rallies for a better president.
At one fateful rally a man, Stryker, approached the crowd, promising power and revenge to those who'd volunteered. Pietro and Wanda promptly agreed. After many painful and agonizing memories Wanda was in an empty room, well not completely empty, it had a bed. She was without Pietro, which hadn't happened their whole lives. Visits were permitted, but the changes in each other progressed. Pietro no longer had brown hair like hers, it was white, and his eyes were now blue, but he was still her twin and her his.
When the lab was under attack Pietro super sped her out of the building and both went to fighting. The rest of her memories were those of the Avengers and their alliance. Finally ending with Pietro getting shot and coming here.
*end memories*
When he opened his eyes again he had sympathy in his eyes. "I apologize Ms. Maximoff." He said.
"It's alright. I'm alright." She said looking down, "May I go back to bed? She asked. Professor X agreed and before she got out of the office he said in her head, Oh and, Ms. Maximoff, how old are you? Wanda did not turn around, she simply telepathically said, 18. Professor X nodded and watched her leave before going to check on Pietro(a) again.
