Mute

Chapter 25

i've had to write this all over again i cba but anyway after 24 chapters I've decided to make wanda 8 years old

clint and laura only have lila

It's been almost a week since they've arrived at the farm, Wanda barely spoke for the first few days, her shyness getting the best of her and she spent most of her time hiding behind her mother. Making everyone coo at how adorable she is.

She came out of her shell a bit more when Lila asked if she wanted to watch a movie with her, Wanda looked at Nat who gave her an encouraging smile before looking back at the 10 year old and gave her a small nod.

Surprisingly she was really enjoying it, she didn't have to worry about what Lila might ask her or anything, they just sat in silence watching it together and they would occasionally giggle at funny scenes.

"They're sweet, aren't they?"

Nat looked at Laura before looking back at the girls, her smile still there. "Yeah, Lila seems to have suggested the perfect thing for them to do together"

"I told her before you came to not pressure Wanda in anything she didn't want to but I'm glad they're enjoying it. They would get along"

"I think they might already be best friends" Nat said, watching Wanda hold Lila's hand. This was the first time Nat saw Wanda do physical contact to someone who wasn't her or Yelena. She's very proud of her baby.

Both women left them to be as they went to see where the other adults were but according to Nat calling Kate and Yelena adults is laughable.

"Kate bishop you are not good at this"

Kate rolled her eyes, "you just don't want to admit I'm better. You're covered in flour!"

"Because of you!"

"You're like 5 years old" Nat snickered, interrupting their bickering. Making Kate flinch having not heard the redhead come in while Yelena scoffed at her words.

"We made cookies but Yelena barely did shit"

"Oh shut up I did do stuff"

"Uh huh, like what?"

Yelena hesitated making Kate smirk, "exactly"

"Okay-"

A snap stopped Yelena finishing her sentence as Laura took a photo of them making Kate and Yelena trying to hide their red faces. "Lauraa!" Kate whined.

"Don't forget to send me that" Nat winked dodging Yelena's punch, playfully punching her first.

"Oh shit! We forgot to take Lucky out, you coming Lena?"

Yelena's eyes widen at Kate's words, they got so caught up in their baking that it slipped from their minds. "Let's go. Lucky!"

It was a stupid question Kate always asked because it was routine for them both to take the dog out but it just became a habit to do so.

"Don't kill each other!" Nat yelled as they made their way out, Yelena giving her the middle finger.

She still had flour on her face.

The credits started rolling making Wanda frown, she was really enjoying it.

"I watch it all the time with mommy and daddy! Did you like it?" Lila asked, their hands still holding.

"Yeah" Wanda smiled, "again?"

"I have another idea for us to do, let's go upstairs!" she said, getting off the couch. Wanda weirdly missed the warmth of her friend's hand.
