In some nebulous time between her fugitive status and the Wakanda takeover, a reluctant hero meets a guy from Oakland, with scars both invisible and visible and a lot of anger to deal with. She closes her eyes and thinks about the Stark Industry bombs that destroyed her home and family, the warzone her country became. The warzone she left when she broke ties with Hydra. She thinks about the dead body of her brother, taken from the ruins.
Her path to redemption is not an easy one. Her heart aches without her missing other half. If anything, she at least indulges in these moments away from the work and the struggling, stealing away to meet Erik. He's a distraction, but there is something more to him, like sharp teeth and a history she wants to uncover but resists the urge to peer into his mind. That isn't how you make friends.
Wrapped in a towel only, Wanda leans against the bathtub as warm water begins to fill it, arms folded loosely over her chest as the smell of smoke wafts in from the other room. She uncrosses her ankles. "It smells interesting."
