It's All My Fault

A month went by since Lagos and we were back to Avengers compound when I watched the news play out on the laptop in front of me.          

"11 Wakandans were among those killed during the confrontation between the Avengers and a group of mercenaries in Lagos, Nigeria last month. The traditionally reclusive Wakandans were on an outreach mission in Lagos when the attack occurred." A news anchor announced while I rubbed my face with the both of my hands feeling the weight on my shoulders get heavier.

"Our people's blood is spilled on foreign soil. Not only because of the actions of criminals but by the indifference of those pledged to stop the, victory at the expense of the innocent is no victory at all." The King of Wakanda otherwise known as King T'Chaka replied on the television with anger in his eyes. I just shut the laptop not wanting to hear anymore until I could hear it again coming from Wanda's room. Silently I moved that way because I knew that she was kicking herself from what happened.             

"They are operating outside and about the international law. Because that's the reality, if we don't respond to acts like these. What legal authority does an enhanced individual like Wanda Maximoff have to operate in Nigeri..." the next news reporter began before I snatched the remote from the dresser then flicked off the television. Wanda didn't deserve to hear these judgments or these cruel statements by the media as I leaned in the doorway.

"It's my fault." She cried not looking over at me while my shoulder pushed hard onto her doorframe.

"That's not true." I pointed out watching her slightly turn to look at me where I saw her eyes starting to gloss over with tears.         

  "Turn the TV back on. They're being very specific." She reminded I shook my head in response to her before she looked away again.  

"I should've clocked that bomb vest long before you had to deal with it." I replied moving towards her seeing her turn to look at me again. The pain was a lot more noticeable in her face now. "Rumlow said Bucky and Ellie and all of a sudden I was a 16 year old kid again, in Brooklyn. And people died, it's on me."

"It's on both of us." Wanda whimpered when I sat next to her seeing her wipe her fallen tears with her hand.          

  "This job...We try to save as many people as we can. Sometimes that doesn't mean everybody. But if we can't find a way to live with that, next time....maybe nobody gets saved." I exclaimed before I could finish Vision materialized through the wall next to us drawing our attention.

"Vis! We talked about this." Wanda reminded wiping the remaining tears from her eyes while we both turned to face him.

"Yes, but the door was opened so I assumed that..." Vision began pointing to the open door before looking back at the both of us. He realized that he was in the wrong then just shook his head. "Captain Rogers wished to know when Mr. Stark was arriving."

"Thank you, we'll be right down." I nodded watching Vision also nod before turning to the wall then he looked at the door.         

"I'll...use the door. Oh apparently, he's brought a guest." Vision added the both of us looked back at him with confusion on our faces.            

"We know who it is?" I asked watching Vision's expression changed to something much more serious demeanor.         

  "The Secretary of State." Vision answered my blue green eyes went wide with surprise before I turned to Wanda who looked like she was about to be yelled at by the government now. Why would the Secretary of State be here?

~~A filler chapter I know I hate them too but you gotta do what ya gotta do to expand on the story. I may post another part because this is short. We will see.~~
