Chapter 15: Endgame Part 2
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After we told Thor about how we could destroy the stone, he understood but like all of us, still had worries if this plan failed.

Thor nodded and then proceeded to destroy the soul stone and orange dust flew into the air surrounding the forest when nothing happened everyone wore grim, sad facial expressions including myself. Thor nodded, in taking a sharp breath as he slammed the Stormbreaker over the Soul Stone. I watched hopefully and desperately as orange dust spilled into the air, contents spraying into the atmosphere. I held a breath, pleading to the Gods that this would work. Because if this didn't, I don't know what else would work. 

But a familiar voice rang out. "Steve?" They turned around and were staring at Bucky Steve ran up to his best friend and hugged him. Then everyone was hugging but I was distracted, looking for my brother.

When I didn't see Peter I sat down holding my head while tears were silently slipping down my face until the palms of my hands became wet. "Wanda?"

"No it's all in my head he's gone, he's not here, he's not coming back." I thought. This couldn't be happening, my mind is playing tricks on me.

I kept hearing my name be called over and over again so I looked up and saw Peter standing there looking around. "P-Peter." Peter looked at me and ran towards me engulfing us both in a hug as we sank to the ground.

Peter cried into my shoulder we both were crying because we were happy, sad, angry, scared, and didn't know what to say. "I- I missed you so much Wanda it hurt so much a-and it was t-terrifying I was s-so scared I t-thought I w-was never g-going to s-see you again." Peter sobbed out. I gently rocked him, shushing him gently. I spoke, "Peter, I'm so sorry about everything, leaving you. I'm terribly sorry, you don't have to forgive me but I'm going to make this up alright?" Peter nodded, "Promise me you'll stay with me forever?" I nodded, this being the one and the most important promise I would ever keep and I would rather kill myself than break this one.

But before anything else could be said a portal was forming and out stepped Thanos. And boy, did he look upset. The Mad Titan looked ready to destroy and kill. I shielded peter and another intense battle began I looked towards Peter who had fear in his eyes. His mind was radiating lots of fear, what did Thanos do to my little brother? He's already been through who knows what, and whatever he did, he's going to pay. I peered over at Captain Marvel who had a very confident and powerful look on her face and determination radiating off of her as her fists began to glow. She charged at him, firing nucleic blasts at the Mad Titan, striking him right in the head. There was lots of blood. As much as I wanted to join her, make the Titan pay, Peter was my number one concern. He was trembling and he was terrified. I have to keep him safe.

"I know, I know bud it's okay. You're safe now but I need you to get on the Quinjet," I said.

"I don't want to leave you." He argued.

"This isn't up for debate go now!"

I kissed his forehead and he then ran towards the Quinjet as I turned. I started fighting, throwing red, unforgivable balls of red joining in as everyone got some good hits on him but this time Thor took Thanos advice and went for the head and then it was finally over we won and beat him....we finally saved earth again.

I ran to the Quinjet hugging Peter while he was sitting down in a chair. "I'm sorry Peter I'm so sorry." I apologized.

"What are you sorry for?" He asked.

"Everything. I've been a terrible sister and I want to make it up to you."

"You can start by not making promises anymore no matter what just say yes or no and please stop apologizing because sometimes apologies don't do much," Peter explained.

"Remember when you yelled at me when you found out I was Spider-Man?"

"Yeah, I do."

"You said Mr. Stark brought me into a fight that wasn't mine which means that Mr. Rogers brought you into a fight that wasn't yours either."

(Peter is subtlety throwing shade.)

"I know Peter and I'm sorry I was stupid and I should've listened to you."

"No more "sorry's" please."

"Okay."

"I'm gonna take you home now you need rest do you feel sick?" I asked.

"No, I'm just tired that's all a little hungry too."

"Okay how about we get back to the compound and I'll make you some food while you take a nap."

"Sounds nice."

"Okay."

Me, Peter and the rest of the Avengers boarded the Quinjet and got home within a few hours. I took Peter to his room to rest up and made some chicken paprikash for everyone.

(Chicken paprikash is delicious I recommend trying it.)

I remember mom always humming to the radio while stirring chicken paprikash while she watched Pietro and I playing in the backyard while dad was teaching Peter to walk.

(Okay this scenery image of Pietro & Wanda being little running around and Peter learning to walk is so cute.)

After I finished making the food I heard screams come from the hall I instantly knew it was Peter. I dropped what I was doing and ran to his room seeing him thrash himself around in his blankets.

I ran towards his bed shaking him to wake him up he then jolted awake falling into my arms as I wrapped them around his little body shrinking down in fear. I softly kissed his forehead gently rocking us back and forth. I whispered, "You're okay Bambi it was just a dream."

"I-it felt r-real like I was dying all over again it hurt just like the first time."

"You're okay Peter, Thanos is gone we defeated him this time you're safe."

"Maybe my powers are messing with my mind or something."

"You'll be okay," I reassured.

"I love you, Wanda."

"I love you too Peter so much."

Since Peter and I both knew he wouldn't be able to go back to sleep I helped him out to the kitchen with him sitting at the big island. "Y-you made mama's chicken paprikash?" He asked.

"Yeah it's your favorite and I think we would need it."

"I wish they were here."

"Me too Mysh."

"Want to play some chess after we eat?"

"Did you call your friends and tell them everything that happened?"

"Yeah MJ knew about me being Spider-Man she's really observant, Ned knew because he was in my room when I came home from patrol."

"At least you made friends are they good people?"

"Yeah Ned is a huge nerd like me we can talk about science all day, MJ may seem mean and closed off but she has a big heart."

He blushed mentioning MJ, "Does my little brother have a crush?" I teased.

"N-no I don't!" He defended.

"Okay." I said raising my hands up. Yes he does, aw, my little brother is all grown up now.

After we ate we played some chess peter won of course and hung out with some of the team some people wanted to spend time together with friends and we understood. "Alright, Mysh we gotta go to sleep."

"O-okay."

I knew he didn't want to be alone, Peter tries to put on a brave face but underneath that he's just a fifteen year old boy growing up in the chaos of the world. As his older sister it's my job to protect him no matter what and I will.

I went to my room and got changed into my pajamas then walked to Peter's room he was sitting on his bed reading a book on cells and matter. "Ready?" I asked.

He briefly looked up at me and slowly nodded but I could still see the fear and panic plastered on his face no matter how much I try to reassure him the more he gets scared. He then slowly got underneath his blankets on the right side of his bed as where I climbed into the left side.

He turned towards me, "I'm scared Wanda what if it happens again?"

"I'll be right here I'm not going anywhere I will stay with you every night until you feel safe to be by yourself it's okay to be scared but as long as I'm with you you'll be alright I will keep you safe."

"I love you Mysh."

"I love you too Scarlet."

He then turned on his side and I held him close to the point I could hear his steady heart beat and soft snores. I kissed his cheek and then fell asleep holding him to make sure he felt safe.
