I try to shower as quickly as possible, I don’t feel comfortable using the showers that are part of the gym. Even though I know that Wanda and Natasha won’t let anyone enter as long as I’m in here, it still feels very dangerous being open like this. When I reach for Wanda, I can feel her but her thoughts are different than usual. There is adrenaline there, concentration, I can feel her faster than normal heartbeat… She is training with Natasha. I dry myself with one of the towels that are lying in the closet, neatly folded. When I’m finished I dress myself again and throw the now dirty towel in the laundry basked, and I enter the gym once more. What I see confirms the conclusion that I had made: Wanda and Natasha are sparring. I can see the concentration on the face of the brown haired girl, I can see and feel how hard it is for her to not use her powers but to keep strictly to hand to hand combat. Natasha is quick, way quicker than Wanda is and she’s also a lot more muscular. You can see the years of experience in every movement she makes, no sloppy hand anywhere. Wanda does her best to keep up and I see how the sweat drips from her face, down her neck into her… I snap my head up again, forcing myself to ignore the thoughts I was having. Wanda attacks but Natasha easily blocks it, giving a counterattack that makes Wanda take a step back. I search for her mind again, and slowly I link myself with her until I feel what she is feeling. It’s the most special experience I have ever had in my life. I know I’m not moving myself, but still I feel all of the movements Wanda makes as if it were my own muscles doing the fighting. I can feel her react to Natasha's attacks, can feel her muscle memory kicking in when she defenses herself. I can feel the burning sensation of her power that she is trying to hold back, how it’s aching to burst out and to throw the redhead against the wall. I take it all in, try to concentrate on how her fighting feels, how her energy feels… Suddenly I feel an enormous blow on my back and it feels as if all of my breath leaves my body. “Fuck.” I groan. I try to focus on Natasha, who looks at me with one arched eyebrow. Wanda is lying on the ground, she hadn’t been capable of blocking the Black Widow’s famous attack: kicking your legs from under your body so you made a very uncomfortable drop on your back. I had felt it just as much as Wanda did, and this resulted in me also lying on the floor. “Taking a nap Ivanov?” She asks me sarcastically and I groan in response. “Yes, I thought the floor looked like the most comfortable place in the entire compound, perfect for an afternoon nap.” My voice is filled with sarcasm and Natasha laughs when she hears my comment. “Any chance you were sneaking around in Maximoff her mind without getting permission?” Even though it’s a question it feels more as if it’s a statement. I can hear Wanda moan and when my head snaps towards her I can see her sitting up, a painful expression on her face. “She always has my permission.” She says, her voice still sounding a little hoarse. I smile and Natasha just looks between the two of us. After a couple of minutes she sighs in defeat, raising her hands in a ‘what can I do about it’ sign. “There was actually a very good reason why I was in Wanda’s head. I was trying to feel her movements when she was fighting, trying to remember them. Remember how it should feel.” For a split second I can see a surprised look cross Natasha’s face, but it’s gone so soon that I’m not sure whether I just imagined it. “That’s an unexpected good idea actually.” She says and I look into her eyes, taunting her just a little bit. “Always sounding so surprised Romanoff.” She laughs, again, at my comment. “I knew I would like you malen'kiy ogon' (little fire). I’m going to leave you two now, going to grab some lunch and then I have to meet up with Steve. He wants to go over some Hydra things with me.” She raises her hand towards us and walks away, leaving Wanda and me alone.

I’m still lying on the floor and Wanda is sitting a couple of meters away from me. “You okay?” I ask her, she did take quite a fall. “Of course I am malysh (baby). Are you? I could feel you in my mind but I didn’t mind you being there, if I had known you would feel my pain as well I would have kicked you out.” I give her a soft smile and also sit up. “I don’t mind it. Okay, it wasn’t the best feeling in the world true. But I’ve had worse and it was a very interesting thing to feel.” I crawl the meters that are separating us and when I reach her I immediately let myself fall on her lap… Quite literally. “Oi!” She moans when my head drops on her legs. “You have a hard head Lidiya!” I laugh when she says this and just hit her again with my so called hard head, which triggers Wanda into using her powers. The Scarlet energy turns me around so I lay on my back, with my head in her lap. She gives me one of these heartwarming smiles. “Now that’s better isn’t it?” I nod and sigh in content. “It’s like Nat’s legs came out of nowhere, I mean it felt like you were really managing keeping her back and suddenly she was there and you went down, like.. bam.” Wanda chuckles at my explanation and looks into my eyes. “Yes, she is very fast. She didn’t get the title of the world deadliest spy by lying around. And she has more than 50 years of experience so yeah, there’s that.” I notice my mouth dropping a little but I’m too surprised to do something about it. “Wait, what?” Once again she starts laughing when she sees my stunned expression. “You didn’t know? She also got some kind of serum when she was in the red room. It was something in an attempt to re-creating the super soldier serum. They didn’t manage to do it, but they did create a serum that gave their widow’s multiple traits, this including Natasha of course. She ages slower… Like ridiculously slow. Her stamina is much higher and her muscles are a lot stronger. She has better balance, heals faster, has better hearing and sight… Steve has all of that even more of course, but Natasha did get her training which he didn’t.” I take in the new found information, I wanted to know more, so much more. But something tells me that this is all Wanda knows and if I want to know more I will have to ask Natasha myself. And let’s be honest, the chances of her sharing her past with me are pretty slim. “How old is she now?” I ask, curious. “I’m not entirely sure actually, she always refuses to tell us. But somewhere between her 70’s and 80’s I assume.” Damn. “Well she looks very good for being that old.” Wanda starts laughing when she hears my comment and it doesn’t take long before I join her and our laughter is filling the entire gym. This goes on for a little while until my laughs turn into hiccups and I wipe away a tear. That’s when we can hear the gym’s door open and we see Sam walk in with Thor. “I’m warning you, it won’t be a fear fight.” I hear the god of thunder warn the other man. “That just makes me even more excited!” The Falcon replies and Thor laughs that bouldering laugh of his. “I think this is our cue to leave.” Wanda tells me with a kind smile, and I nod in agreement. She gives me a quick kiss on my forehead before she pushes me off her lap. I’m too surprised by the ‘kiss’ to make some annoyed comment about being thrown off. I get up and Wanda follows. “Want to grab some lunch?” She asks and I smile. “That sounds good.” Together we leave the gym after greeting both Sam and Thor on our way out.

We’re in the kitchen where both Daisy and Jemma are present already. They are both sitting on the corner of the tall dinner table and are eating their lunch while talking and laughing with each other. “Oh, hi Lidiya! It’s nice to see you again!” Jemma says when she sees me and gives me one of the biggest smiles I have ever seen. “You too of course Wanda! Are you getting settled in?” I take a step towards Wanda, even though Jemma is really nice and you just can’t help but like her, I want to feel her close to me. It gives me confidence, I trust her to help me when it’s too much. Before I can ask Wanda, her hand already grabs mine and she gives me a comforting squeeze. “I’m trying my best to get settled. It’s a big compound and there are a lot of people here, but Wanda helps me through it.” I reply to Jemma’s question, and she gives me a look filled with understanding and… pity. I don’t like it. “Let her get her lunch Jem, I’m sure she must be starving since she had her first workout ever. I remember when I got my first lesson, it was hell.” Daisy says before Jemma can ask me even more questions. I send her a thankful smile. “Did you have a hard teacher?” I ask her and immediately I can see something dark appear in her eyes. “Yes… I guess I did. He didn’t go easy on me. Who is teaching you?” “Natasha.” Daisy whistles in appreciation while Jemma just looks kind of worried. “Nice. I’m sure Ward was nothing compared to Natasha.” I shrug, I’m not sure how to reply to that statement. “Is Ward also here on the compound?” I ask her and Daisy and Jemma share a sad look when they hear my question. After a couple of seconds pass in silence I can’t help but feel uncomfortable, it was clear I asked something that I shouldn’t have. “I’m sorry, just ignore my question, I’m sorry…” I whisper with a shaking voice. Daisy looks back to me and shakes her head. “No no Lidiya, this isn’t your fault. It’s just a painful subject for us, even though years have passed. Ward and I were… romantically involved at one point. So not only was he my teacher who had stood by me through everything, he was also my lover kind of boyfriend… This made the shock even greater when he turned out to be a Hydra agent who had been spying on Shield for years. He tried to kill FitzSimmons and was a big part of Hydra overthrowing Shield.” Even though her composure is neutral, I can feel sadness and anger washing off of her. “I’m very sorry.” I whisper, I honestly wish that there is more that I can say or do but I know that there isn’t. “I don’t know you well yet but I’m sure you don’t deserve that. I hope they caught him and locked him up.” She gives me a wry smile and raises her shoulders. “He died.” The statement was quick and without emotion, making it clear that that was the end of this subject. “Thank you for trusting me with this information.” I tell her and immediately the goofy smile is back on her face. “Of course, you’re part of this team now and we trust each other! Now go enjoy your lunch with that angry looking chestnut over there.” She points towards Wanda, who just squeezes her eyes at that comment. While talking to Jemma and Daisy I hadn’t payed attention to my favorite person, but now I could feel the jealousy radiating off her. This hits me with surprise. Is she jealous when Daisy talks to me? “Thank you Daisy, I hope you have a good day. You too Jemma.” I give them a kind smile and take a step towards Wanda, making it clear that I was going to leave. “Thanks, you too Lidiya! Maybe we will see you at dinner tonight.” Jemma says, back to her enthusiastic self. I smile at her and then squeeze Wanda’s hand, as a sign that I am ready to go.

She guides me to the cooking part of the kitchen and point towards one of the tall chairs again. “Sit.” I do as she says and watch her silently make some sandwiches. I can’t help but have the feeling that I did something wrong by talking to Daisy. I feel sad and confused and the longer Wanda is quiet I start to panic even more. When I can’t take it anymore I can’t help but cry. It are silent tears that are streaming down my cheeks and are landing on the counter. Wanda must have felt my change in energy because suddenly I can feel her arms around me. “I’m sorry Lidiya, I didn’t mean to hurt you. I’m so sorry, I was being selfish, you did nothing wrong, I promise.” I turn around to bury my face against her chest and let my tears flow freely. “I, I thought you were m-mad at me.” I hiccup and I can feel Wanda pull me even closer in response. “YA takoy durak (I’m such a fool).” I can hear Wanda whisper to herself and I raise my face a little bit so I can look her in the eyes. “You’re not a fool Wanda. I’m sorry that I talked to Daisy.” I tell her, I’m willing to do absolutely everything to keep her close to me. “Net (no)!” She calls out. “You should never-ever stop talking to someone just to please somebody else. I was acting jealous and I’m sorry about that, I think it’s nice that you get along with little Quake.” “Really?” I ask her, the tears have stopped but my eyes are big and red. She stares into my eyes and with all the seriousness in the world she says “Ya obeshchayu (I promise).” I give her a weak smile and take a big sniff of the smell that is Wanda Maximoff. Slowly I can feel myself getting calmer again. “YA ne mogu poteryat’ tebya (I can’t lose you)…” I whisper quietly. It’s not clear whether she heard me or not, but after holding me a little while longer she says “I actually made us a small picnic so we can go to the lake, if you feel up for it. I want to do your first exercises there.” I like the idea of getting to go outside again. “I would love to Wanda.”

Together we walk on the path on our way to the lake. Wanda is holding a very cute looking basked which she filled with some of the self-made sandwiches and oranje juice. We pass Clint who is running on the training path, he holds up a hand when he sees us, and I can see Tony talking to Rhodey. Tony is leaning against one of his many cars and is making big arm gestures, while Rhodey is standing there looking at him with his arms crossed over his chest. I can see a jet coming in, probably some team members who are back from their mission and Hope just left the garage with one of the motorcycles. It has come kind of calmness to it, seeing everybody busy with their own activities. Each of them wanted to protect the worlds and the people living it, but even though they all shared a common goal all of them were still their own person. I calms me. “The Guardians group is leaving tonight, so the compound will be a lot calmer.” Wanda her voice brings my attention back to her and I notice that while I was lost in thoughts, we managed to cover quite some ground. “Who are they again?” I ask sheepishly. “Don’t feel bad about it milyy, it’s still new to you. Gamora, Quill, Nebula, Rocket, Groot and Drax. Thor is also going to join them on this mission.” I nod, trying to remember the names. “Nebula is the blue girl right?” I ask and Wanda laughs at my question. “I’m not sure she would appreciate you calling her ‘blue girl’ but yes, that’s her.” My cheeks get a soft red color, being embarrassed with what I said. When she sees me blush she laughs even harder. “You know you’re very cute when you blush?” She winks at me and it’s like suddenly I don’t know how to talk anymore. I just stare at her and try to say something, but the only thing that comes out are weird mumbles. She laughs even harder, I didn’t know that was possible, and pokes me in my side. “You’re a silly girl Lidiya, I love it.” I smile at her and we continue our walk through a part of the forest. The sun is shining and is giving everything a beautiful green shine. The forest is alive: birds are singing, the trees and flowers look healthy and you can hear little animals wandering around, keeping themselves invisible for us humans. After about ten more minutes we finally reach an opening which houses the lake. When I see it, my breath hitches. It’s absolutely stunning, the way the light falls on the water, the calming sound of a small waterfall, and it’s completely secluded… “Wanda it’s beautiful.” I tell her, still flabbergasted. “I never expected it to be this pretty, it’s just gorgeous. Thank you for bringing me here.” “Anything for you malysh.” Both of us sit down and spend a couple of moments just looking at the water. “So tell me, what do I need to do?” “First we are going to eat.” She smiles and opens the basked she was carrying with her. She gives me my favorite sandwich, I don’t remember ever telling her about that. Next she fills the glasses with some orange juice. We sit in silence, eating the food Wanda has brought. It’s heavenly and completely relaxing. I let the sun warm up my skin and it’s like I feel more more at easy with myself. When we are finished, Wanda makes me sit crossed legged in the sunshine. “I just want you to do some breathing exercises. Like I already said: right now the most important thing is to make you get in touch with your powers, to make it something normal. It’s a part of you.” I do as she says and sit down, after which Wanda also sits down in front of me, face pointing in my direction. "Since cold things hurt you, I assumed that warmth must make you feel better. We’ll do it together, I can also use some meditation." I close my eyes and just breathe. I try to let every thought that enters my head just move on. I concentrate on the sunlight on my skin and try to draw power from it. It's not really working though, and after a while I notice that when I stop trying and just sit down, letting the sun warm my skin, it kind of feels like the sun is actually entering my bones and makes them glow. The longer I sit in the sun, the more I can feel the glow reaching every inch of my body. I feel calmer, and more powerful. Well, actually not more powerful. It just kind of feels like I know that when I need to I can draw from the warmth in my body. I’m not sure how long we sit like this but eventually Wanda says “You can open your eyes and come back to the real world, milly.” I take a little while longer, and slowly I open my eyes and look around. Quite some times has passed I notice. “You did really good milyy. I’m proud of you.” My face beams when I hear her say this. “Thank you Wands… I do feel more in control now.” Wanda raises her eyebrow at me and says “Wands huh? I like it. Let’s go back now, okay? Dinner will almost be served.” I get up on my feet and give her a very warm smile. “Yes, let’s go.”

Cover me in sunshine
Shower me with good times
Tell me that the world's been spinning since the beginning
And everything will be alright
Cover me in sunshine
(The song is called "Cover me in Sunshine" by p!nk.)
