Training with Wanda really was something else. 

She didn’t care about Bruce’s interns. She didn’t care if they called 20 times a day because your alarm was going crazy. In fact she was not even taking their calls anymore. She didn’t care if your head hurt - ‘That’s what Advil is for.’ She didn’t care if you got a nosebleed - ‘That’s what tissues are for.’ She did care however if you fainted - ‘If you faint, then we’re done for the day. And if we’re done for the day, then you won’t get any better.’

She was positive that you could do so much more than what you were already capable of. But she had this very painful theory that you would be able to improve only if you pushed your limits for an extended period of time. Hence the constant state of panic in the lab.

Of course the two of you were completely different, with her being so powerful and all, but she understood you better than anyone you had ever met. And it was not only about telepathy. She understood your fear, your anger, your pain and your helplessness. She was not only an amazing teacher, she was a good friend.

You had to call for Strange’s help once or twice because she started to act out and it was getting real scary around the living room, but he took care of it pretty quickly each time. Something about ‘guidance and meditation’. All you had to do was to clean the room after her. 

And you were ok with that. Everytime she was not training you, she was reading book after book on how to get her children back. Since she was still convinced you couldn’t help her with that, you basically just became her assistant and began organizing her notes. Most of the time, you had absolutely no idea what they were about, but it looked dangerous.  

She disappeared a few days after coming back. 

It was the first anniversary of the events of Westview. The people living there were all over the news again, talking about what she put them through. But it had also been a year since she lost her children and her husband. 

Since you couldn’t train without her, you came to Pepper to ask for everything she had on the new Vision. She agreed and the next day someone brought you a ton of new files to read. 

When Wanda came back, looking more defeated than ever, you just informed her that you were not going to be her assistant anymore because you had some work to do. She smiled when she saw your board filled with information on Vision and went back to her magic books.

You were still not allowed to leave the building. Not that you could, since you were avoiding the lobby and the lucky guy who took Lucy’s job, and you couldn’t fly out of a window. And the constant baby-sitting was not helping. 

They all thought that since you couldn’t get out, it would be good for you to have company. You were never alone. The only time it didn’t bother you was when Bucky was coming over for your morse code lessons. You already knew the whole alphabet and all the things he wanted you to learn, but you enjoyed his company, and you had no other idea on how to keep him coming without the ‘friendship’ becoming weird.

“Have you tried to talk into someone’s head ?” She was serious. How would you be able to do that ? The only time you did it was with Charlotte, and only because she could read minds too. 

“Not really.”

“Well if you can hear them, maybe they can hear you. And if they can hear you, how would they know what comes from you and what comes from their own brain ?” You were pretty sure she was talking about mind control while casually sipping on her coffee. “Yes, YN. I’m talking about mind control.” You forgot about the red ball of magic around your head again. She said it was to keep track of your progress, but she was definitely using it to read your mind.
