"You can't die."

"I won't."

"I-I'm serious like never... You can't... "

Y/N's POV

Today, we're currently outside the Palace, waiting for the Avengers to arrive. My heart was pounding, mainly because I was angry at Steve but at the same time I missed him. He's my friend.

I will admit, I do feel incredibly weak, I don't know what it is but it's like something was stripped from my body.

Jeannie was in my arms, her head resting on my shoulder as she played with her plush toy.

T'Challa, Eric, Bucky, Okoye and the other Wakandan soliders were stood behind and Wanda arrived slightly later, joining Jean and I.

Eventually, the grey quinjet entered the city, slowly descending down on the platform before the back hatch opened, slowly revealing the people inside.

Steve, Natasha, Rhodey, Sam and... Bruce? So he did survive wherever he went to.

Eric: So these are the Avengers?

Y/N: Yeah. Well what's left of it.

Natasha then whistles, smiling. This makes the little girl turn her head from my shoulder and foward, JEAN THEN WHISTLES BACK. This makes mine and Wanda's head look at our daughter in utter shock and confusion.

Wanda: WHAT?!

Jeannie: Aunty Natty!

The two year old exclaimed, I saw Steve in the corner of my eye but he went to greet Bucky whilst the others greeted T'Challa.

Y/N: Wait a second? How did you learn to whistle?

Natasha: Well obviously Jean hasn't learned everything from just her parents. Sometimes aunt Natty has to stir the kid away from being a weirdo.

My girlfriend rolled her eyes, clicking her mouth.

Wanda: Get over yourself.

Natasha: Never.

They both smiled and hugged tightly, they were like sisters. I smiled and Jeannie obviously hopped off me like a rabbit to join her mother.

I let them have their moment and I see Steve turn away from Bucky, facing me now. We both mumble under our breath.

I then punch Steve in the face, suddenly wincing at how painful it was. Something is wrong with me.

Steve: Ouch!... I deserved that.

Y/N: You damn right, bub.

I said passive aggressively, before pulling the super soldier into a tight hug which he accepted it.

Steve: I'm sorry, Y/N. For hurting you.

I breathed heavily, hugging him closer. Before we eventually pulled away, I gave him a nod which he reciprocated in.

Steve: On far more important things, I wanted to see the special girl.

He crouched, whilst most of the other Avengers had slowly started making their way inside.

My daughter looked up, her eyes shifted between me and a smiling Steve.

Jeannie: Dada he copied your mouth hair.

I chuckled and brought her up to my level, kissing he cheek.

Y/N: Yeah Steve, mind explaining the copyright beard?

He laughed, standing back up and laying a soft kiss on Jean's forehead. This was the first time they had met.

Steve: Well... uncle Steve thought that daddy had a really awesome 'face hair' so he got inspired.

Jeannie: Do you have daddy's knife hands? DADA SHOW HIM YOUR HAND KNIFE.

She giggled, using her tiny hands to pull my arm up in the fist position, whilst I held onto her with my other arm.

Jeannie: Go pweaeeeseeeee.

Y/N: Alright, but then we're going inside?

Jeannie: Okay.

I rolled my eyes at Steve as he laughed, I popped my claws out, wincing at the sudden pain, why was it hurting that bad? Probably because I don't use them.

Steve: AHH!

The Captain America pretended to be shocked for Jean's sake and ran away like a cartoon, sending the two year old into major hysterics.

Jeannie: Ah you scared him dada!

Y/N: I know right? High five!

The two year old high fives me before we head back inside to the Palace. I take Jean to her play room in the Palace, which is guarded heavily. I make my way back to the lab where everyone else is.

-

Shuri was now with Bruce, in the lab, seeing the Iron Man suit layed upon the lab table, the princess was using holograms to take a look at the arc reactor.

Rhodey: Tony was hoping to use the suit as a contingency plan... but that stone, it's basically sealed into the arc reactor.

Shuri: Well, if you give me some time, I should be able to disable the system and isolate the stone without dispersing any energy.

T'Challa: How much time?

Shuri: About thirty to fourty-

Suddenly, a loud eruption from a distance catches everyone's attention, Okoye pulls out her hologram notifier to see what's going on.

Okoye: Something has entered the upper atmosphere.

Everyone gathered up to the windows to see giant dropships landing on the battlefield. T'Challa turned to look at Steve, as I looked to my right to see Wanda.

Wanda: I-I-I need to see Jean.

She spoke with a slight tremble of her lip, I was worried too. I took Wanda's hand and we walked into the playroom.

Wanda's POV

Y/N and I creeped inside, to see Jean tucked in bed, with tears in her eyes. Why did this have to happen? Why can't Y/N and I stay away from all these fights, all we wanted was a normal family.

And now I have my two year old daughter, scared.

But I have to stay strong, we have to stay strong for our family. My soulmate and I created this family and we have to protect it.

I crouch down to the bed, gently grazing my hand ontop of Jean's head, making her eyes open.

Jeannie: Mama the sounds are too loud.

She whined, as I wiped her innocent tears away from her cheeks.

Wanda: Hey, shh it's okay, Mama is here. She'll always be here-

I pause, my voice breaking as I refrain from crying. The thought of losing any of my family, Y/N or Jean.

Y/N crouches down with me, as I grab something from my pockets.

The Red Blanket.

The same red blanket, that Y/N had gotten me during our first date, it was nothing much but for me it was everything. It was the time that I knew and he knew we meant something more to eachother.

Wanda: If you ever feel sad or lost, hold this blanket and it will keep you safe. Remember, Daddy and Mama will always be in your heart? Why?

Jeannie: B-Because we are a family.

Y/N: Yes, you will be safe here and I promise you nothing will happen, okay? We'll come back just before you wake up!

He tried his best to chuckle and I forced a smile, to keep my daughter safe. I leaned down and kissed my daughter's head, handing her the blanket which she wrapped around herself.

Y/N leaned down and gave Jean a kiss before giving me one and standing up.

Wanda: Sweet dreams, Jeannie. I love you.

Jeannie: I wuv you too Mama.

She had a quick moment with Y/N before I began to walk away, tears beginning to fall. I heard Y/N follow behind and hold me by the shoulders.

Y/N: Are you okay?

Wanda: Y-Yeah... j-just promise me that no matter what happens to me, you will protect Jean?

He quirked his brow in confusion, slight fear being shown in his eyes.

Y/N: What are you talking about? I'm coming with you, we'll defeat the bad guys and we'll come home and who knows, I'll put a ring on that finger.

Classic Y/N, trying to be optimistic. But I had this weird feeling in my chest, I had no idea what it was.

Wanda: You're not coming.

I said urgently making his eyes widen in confusion.

Wanda: Y/N, just let me deal with this. Stay with Jean, if they come to you you'll protect her, okay?

He couldn't speak, his mouth was agape open as silent tears fell from his cheeks.

Y/N: You're making me sad. Please, stay.

He pleaded and I teared even more. I didn't want to leave him but I had to.

Wanda: Y/N- You always said I was powerful, this is the chance where I can defeat them, use my power for good.

He didn't have an answer, he lightly pouted and looked down along with his eyss. I reached and grabbed his chin and face it towards me.

Wanda: I'll promise I'll come back, okay? Just keep the little girl safe. I love you, Y/N.

He nodded, smiling a bit from my newfound optimism.

Y/N: I love you more, Wanda.

I smiled, grabbing his jaw, and pulled it to my lips, kissing it passionately like it was my last kiss ever, pouring down every memory and moment I had with this man.

We eventually pulled away, him staring into my eyes nothing ever changing in those three years of knowing each other, except it was more adoration in them.

Y/N: Now you go be a hero.... Scarlet... Scarlet Witch...

I grinned, nodding at him before leaving the playroom. I went to meet up with the Avengers who were making their way outside onto the battlefield.

This is going to be a hell of a fight.
