It was then the next day and Hope was still asleep as Wanda caresses her long blonde hair. She was alone with her. Steve and Natasha had to come back to Avengers Tower for the disappearance of Hope Watson. If they knew.

Hope squirmed and opens her eyes. "Wanda?"

Wanda then turns and smiles. "Yes, I'm here."

"Where are we?" Hope asked.

"Home. Your real home." Wanda smiled with delight.

"Where's Steve?"

"He had to go back to Avengers Tower. But don't worry you have me." Wanda says as Hope gave a half-smile.

"What if they find us?"

"They won't. Steve won't let that happen." Wanda said, touching her pale face. "But it's best to not be outside for now."

Hope nodded. "I understand."

Meanwhile, Steve and Natasha were in the conference room with the other Avengers. And one angry Tony.

"Okay, so I don't know how the hell that Hope got out. Her tracker is disabled. I mean someone had to help her escape." Tony said before looking at Steve. "Where's Wanda?"

"She had to handle something with Fury." Steve told him.

"Then why didn't he tell me?"

"I knew. He told me. I just forgot to tell you. Sorry." Natasha spoke up.

"Okay... Anyways, go and try to find her. She couldn't have gone that far." Tony said before they leave. "And Steve, Natasha and Bucky, stay."

They seem confused at first but after a second, they knew what this was going. They then sat back down on their chairs.

"What is it this time, Tony?" Steve sighed. Tony went to the mini bar near them and grabbed a beer.

"Well, there was this girl with special powers that we found with HYDRA. Right? And Steve, over here, decided that it would be a great idea to take her in as his own. And everyone fell in love with the girl, especially these two. And Wanda. But her breakouts, she was put away. And that didn't make the three little pigs that happy. So they help the little girl escape. And betrayed their team. Betrayed me." Tony rambles on.

"Tony, what are you talking about?" Natasha asked before he scoffed.

"I think you know." Tony said drinking his beer. "I know the truth."

After saying that, he then brought up a projector, showing Steve and Natasha breaking in her chamber and taking her out of there. And them bumping into Wanda and Bucky. And watching Wanda go with them.

"Tony, I..." Steve started off. But Tony interrupted him.

"I don't want to hear it. I know what's going on. K?" Tony said placing his beer down. "Now, you can apologize to me later, but right now you need to tell me where she is. Right now."

"I don't know where she is, Tony." Steve lies.

"Don't you bullshit me, Rogers. Tell me where she is." Tony said pulling on his shirt. "You and I both know what's she's capable of."

"Do we?"

Meanwhile, Hope sits on the balcony in her shirt and shorts, looking out at the pouring rain. In the dark scenery outside. All Hope wants to do is to go to Penny and see her again. To hug her again. To kiss her again. But she couldn't. If she did, she would be risking her life.

But what was the point? She knew they were going to find her and bring her back. They always come back.

So Hope looks around to not see Wanda in sight and changes into her regular clothes. And then opens the window. And took a deep breath. "Sorry, Wanda."

She then crawled out of the window and head down to the street. In the rain, making her wet. Once she hit the street, she ran like hell to Penny's house.

I'm coming for Penny!
——————

Once she got to her house, she then climbed onto the wall with holes in the middle. Until she was all the way to Penny's window. As she looks inside, she saw her with Luke. He was with his guitar. They were talking. Smiling. Laughing. And at the heat of the moment.....

They kissed.
