Avenger

'Damn. The barriers won't last long' I thought to myself after seeing the barriers flickering.

Using my massive amount of qi, I pushed everyone out when the barriers faded away. As a group, they tumbled out of the area 6 meters away with some scratches.

A massive piece fell right above me as I pushed the last person out. Using the Universe Traveling Steps I quickly escaped the place.

"Alex.... I'm Sorry" Cortana apologized "I forgot to calculate the..."

"Next time, tell me before you do anything" I sighed

"Understood"

"Casualties?"

"Besides the two Spartans, we lost 4 jackals"

"..... Bring them back and give them a proper burial" I sighed

She didn't say anything more and just nodded before relaying my orders to everyone else.

"What happened with Fury and Pierce"

"Alexander Pierce is dead"

"Go post a mission for killing and hunting the rest of the Hydra members"

"I already did"

"Alex"

"Yes?"

"Wanda was attacked just now"

"Oh? What happened?" I asked curiously

I wasn't worried about her since I knew that she could take care of most dangers by now.

"A group of terrorists attacked a mall and injured her"

"WHAT?" I frowned in worry "How?"

"She tried to save a child but was injured in the process"

"Is she ok?" I asked in worry

"Clint Barton, happened to be nearby as he had just returned"

"Is the situation dealt with?" I breathed in relief

"Yes, she had a talk with him but, it is unknown what they had talked about"

"Where is she?" I asked

"Back in the mansion"

"Get me my plane when we're done"

"Alright, Alex" She nodded

I walked into the building after everything was done with outside. Our guys have just finished with packing up their gear and got onto the Pelicans ready for them. The frigate had also went back into the atmosphere.

"Nick, looks like you guys had quite the party" I said coldly when I arrived. I saw the bodies everywhere in the building. Most were SHIELD agents that was killed by Hydra's sleeper agents.

He didn't say anything

"Tsk. Nothing to say now huh?"

"Alex." Evan frowned

I gave him a look before saying "Cap is downed in the river nearby. You're going to have to get him"

"Where's everyone else?" Evan asked

"I sent them away"

"....." Evan stared at me before sighing "Alright, I'll go get him"

I silently shook my head before leaving on my prowler.

A while later we landed back at the mansion.

"Alex" Calypso held my hands and greeted

"Cal, where's Wanda" I sighed

"In her room" She hesitated before saying

I looked at her and she just shook her head

"I will go and see her" I pat her hands to reassure her

"Alex!" Hela hugged me from behind

"Hela" I smiled at her "Alright, I'm going to see Wanda, ok?"

The two looked at each other before nodding "mmm"

I gave them a small kiss before going to Wanda's room

Knock. Knock.

She didn't reply.

"Wanda?" I asked

She still didn't answer

"I'm coming in" I told her

I slowly opened the door.

I opened the door and saw Wanda sleeping quietly.

Seeing that she was sleeping, I went to take a bath first since I had just returned from a battle.

Fssssh

I turned on the water and walked into the shower.

Outside, Wanda is still sleeping but slightly woke up to the sound of water before falling asleep once more.

I got out of the shower 15 minutes later wand walked out in with only a towel covering the lower body. I was getting closer and closer to the bed. She woke up after feeling someone getting closer and closer to her.

She yawned and stretched and her hand accidentally touched my body. She opened her eyes and found herself touching my body.

"Does it look good?" I chuckled noticing her looking at my abs

She nodded.

Realizing something, she looked up and froze when she saw me smiling at her.

"Y-You...You..." She blushed

"What?" I smiled

"Put on some clothes" She quickly looked away

"Alright, Alright." I laughed in amusement

Got myself dressed and Wanda couldn't help but peek at me a couple times.

"What? Want me to undress again?" I grinned

"N-No"

After a moment of silence to let her calm down

"Come here" I told her

She hesitated before getting up and sit on my lap

Stroking her hair, I asked "You seemed to be quite tired today, what happened?"

She seemed hesitant to say anything

"What's wrong?" I asked gently

"I- I- I want to join the Avengers" She said nervously

I looked at her for a while but didn't say anything

Seeing that I didn't say anything, she continued "I want to join them so I could help others. I was scared, Alex. Scared that it was my fault for the deaths that happened because I didn't use my powers to save them" Her voice became quieter and quieter

Gently playing with her hair "I don't see a problem with you joining them, Wanda. If you wish to join them, join them. I will not interfere with your decisions. I will support you to the very end"

She bit her lip "But-"

"Don't worry, I will take care of whatever that happens ok?" I interrupted her

"mmm" She nodded

I smiled "Good Girl"

"Alex" she called out

"Hm?"

"I- I'm sorry" She quietly said

"For?" I asked

"For being useless" She bit her lips "Every time you go out, you would try to protect us. I don't want to feel useless"

"Do you think I would think of you as a burden?" I gently asked

"No, but-"

"Shhh, I know what you want to say, but you are my woman so get those thoughts out of there" I cut her off "You are not useless in my eyes."

"Everyone else is a goddess" She muttered

"Is that what you're worried about?" I chuckled

She nodded

"Don't worry, you will forever be my woman. Even if you are useless" I kissed her

"You called me.."

"You are not useless to me, even if you are to other people. I will be there for you when you need me ok?"

She didn't say anything more

"I-"

I dove in for a kiss when she opened her mouth

Our mouths separated after a while and she gasped for air

"Don't say anything more, just know that I will be by your side. Always and forever" I promised
