We all traveled to one of Stark's Beach houses for the fourth of July. So, we all were out in the yard having a good old 4th of July cookout.A couple of fireworks set off here and there from other cookouts.

Steve, Bucky, and Tony were manning the grills. Peter, Shuri, MJ, Ned, and Morgan were all running around with sparklers and glow sticks. Clint and Scott were staring at the wagons of fireworks by the door. Natasha was guarding the fireworks from Clint and Scott. T'Challa and Sam were sitting at the benches talking. Vision was floating around talking about the history of Independence Day. Pepper (being the mom she was) was following the kids with the common,
"Morgan, careful with that!"
and
"Peter slow down!".
Wanda was..... where was Wanda?

I walked up to Nat was still glaring at the boys,
"Hey Nat, have you seen Wanda anywhere?"
"Not all night" she said not breaking eye contact with Clint across the lawn. I sighed and walked inside.

"Wanda?". No answer.
I walked into the living room,
"Wanda?" Nothing again.
Getting worried I started running upstairs,
"Wanda?!" I yelled down the hall. I burst into the bedroom I was sharing with her only to see her sitting curled up in the corner.

I walked up to her and sat down next to her. She was crying. I walked up to her and she jumped as I wrapped my arms around her.
"Wanda, what's wrong?" I asked softly, that was enough to make her start sobbing.
I rubbed her back,
"Deep breaths Wanda, deep breaths. In and out. That's it" I said. She started to calm down and curled up to me.

"What's wrong Wanda?" I asked again softly.
"They're too loud. It's too loud. I can't do it. It's to loud" She kept repeating quietly.

"The fireworks." she cried softly.

I rubbed her back.
"One second, I'm going to be right back" I whispered.
I grabbed my noise canceling headphones, the extension cord to plug in two pairs of headphones, and my phone. I sat back down next to her,

"Here, put these on" I whispered handing her the headphones. I plugged in my pair and logged into Spotify.
"What do you want to listen to?" I asked handing her the phone. She scrolled through a couple of playlists and clicked on one. Betty by Taylor Swift started playing through the headphones. She smiled and un-curled.

Soon, Stark's fireworks started. Wanda whimpered and curled closer to me, I rubbed her back and turned the music louder. Softly singing with the melody.

I opened my notes app and started typing,
"Do you want to look out the window?"
She looked up and nodded. I clicked off the lamp and turned us to face the window.

"So I showed up at your party
Will you have me? Will you love me?
Will you kiss me on the porch in front of all your stupid friends?"
The music played through the ear-buds as we watched the colors burst through the sky.

"Thank you" she whispered as a purple firework shone through the sky.
"It's not a problem" I smiled.

"I love you"
"I love you more"
"I love you the most"
