Two new friends

wanda is 5/6

When Wanda tried opening her eyes, bright lights blinded her as she blinked rapidly getting her eyes to adjust. The first thing she notices is her usual hard, metal bed is now a lot softer. When she sits up, there's some sort of tube connected with a needle in her arm.

Panic starts to fill her chest but then something catches her eye. There's a stuffed penguin near her feet, she looks at it for a few moments as if she's waiting for it to move on it's own or disappear. She doesn't know where she is, her room is always dark and cold.

When she realizes the penguin isn't going to move, she slowly reaches for it. The soft fur in her hands makes her smile, she's never felt something so soft before.

"I hoped that you would like it"

Wanda jumps, curling into herself as the penguin fell onto the floor with a silent thump. She's never heard this voice before and even though it's a lot more soft and gentle, she's still afraid.

Was the penguin some kind of test and she failed?

She already misses the softness of it in her hands.

"I'm sorry for scaring you, I didn't mean to. My name is Natasha but you can call me Nat, what's your name?" The gentle voice says.

She slowly peeks to look at the woman, she has red hair and a soft smile plastered on her lips. Her eyes were filled with no visible anger or disappointment. "Oh, here's your friend back"

Nat picks up the toy, placing it on the bed. "I don't know what your favorite animal is so I chose a penguin, they're cool and funny"

Wanda didn't say anything even when Natasha repeated the question, asking the little girl's name but the redhead didn't mind. Wanda eventually grabs the toy again and looks back at the woman, she still has the soft smile on her face.

She's still confused on where she is, this place seems more alive and lighter.

Natasha might've picked up on it and softly starts telling her what happened and where they are. "..And that in your arm is called an IV, it's so you can have the proper fluids your body needs. Nothing painful, no one is going to hurt you again"

Wanda is starting to really like Natasha.

That's how it went for a few days, Natasha would talk about anything then explains what is happening while Helen makes sure the girl is recovering well. Wanda didn't talk but the toy remains on her lap at every moment and the presence of Natasha made her feel safe.

Sometimes they sit in silence, Wanda will quietly play with her penguin with a small smile on her face while Nat scrolls on her phone or with her laptop doing emails.

Right now, is one of those moments. Wanda sat up as she plays, at times secretly looking to make sure the woman is still there. Nat was responding to some texts when a little voice interrupted the silence.

"Wanda"

The voice was so quiet, if Natasha wasn't a trained spy she probably wouldn't have heard it.

"Your name is Wanda?"

The girl shyly nodded.

"That's a beautiful name Wanda"

The girl blushed, nobody ever told her, her name is beautiful. Nobody ever really asked for it but it made her happy to hear the woman who she's grown to like the company of, say that. It makes her feel special.

"And what's your friend's name?" Natasha asks, looking at the nameless penguin that Wanda has attached herself with.

"He's my friend" Wanda smiled, her voice still very quiet.

Nat's smile doesn't go away as she nods, "he's soft, isn't he?"

The girl nods.

"You're my friend too?" This time Wanda's voice mixed with hopefulness and fear of rejection.

"Of course I'll be your friend, I'm glad to have a friend like you Wanda"

Wanda's face brightens, now not only does she have one friend but two. She brings the penguin to her chest, giving him a hug.

She hopes soon she won't be too scared to hug Nat too.

They spent the rest of their day watching funny penguin videos on Nat's phone, Wanda's occasional giggle as the penguins fell or slid down the ice.
