Wanda found herself alone in the middle of Scotland. After siding with Steve Rogers during the Avengers Civil War, or the big cat fight over signing the accordsâ she had been imprisoned on the raft.
That was until the super-soldier rescued Wanda and the rest of his team from the Raft, advising them to flee New York as soon as possible.
As a result, here Wanda was. Specifically in Edinburgh, Scotland. She didn't mind the small city, and it was comforting, quiet... everything she needed at the time.
The only downside was it got lonely at times, at much as she'd hate admitting it, Wanda missed the compound. She missed having to explain simple things to Vision, Natasha mentoring her, and surprisingly she missed Tony's sarcastic remarks.
She also missed watching The Dyke Van Dyke show, not being able to grab her CD pack before rushing to a new country, is exactly how she ended up walking down the sidewalk of Edinburgh, in search of a shop that sold CDs of course.
It was another quiet night. Edinburgh was rarely busy, especially during the middle of the week. Everyone was already in their homes at this time of night.
A soft sigh left the red head's lips once her eyes set on a shop that read in big glowing letters, CD CELLAR. Quickly jogging towards the door, she swiftly opened it, the bell on the door alerting the clerk that there was a new customer.
Wanda sent a small wave to the clerk who smiled back in response, moving towards the show's isle, searching for the sitcom.
The bell had rung again, but the witch ignored it. Her full attention towards her search, "Hey, Nico! You still have my order, right?" A voice spoke breaking the silence in the shop.
"Of course," Nico replied, Wanda didn't need to look over to tell how happy the clerk was to see this specific customer, he displayed it all in his voice.
Wanda mentally cursed at herself once she noticed she wasn't getting anyplace with her search, so quickly turning on her heels she walked towards the clerk, who was already helping you.
"Your total is $15.89." You take out your wallet, pulling out a twenty-dollar bill. Just as you're about to hand it to the older man a voice interrupts you.
"Excuse me," Wanda shyly says causing you to turn your head. "Um, I don't really know how to say this butâ I was wondering if I could take that off your hands. I'll give you double as much as you paid for it."
Your eyes move from her convincing emerald eyes to the box of CDs containing The Dyke Van Dyke show.
If you hadn't waited more than four weeks you'd given them to the woman without hesitation, but you had waited four weeks to watch the rom-com. Nonetheless, you however felt a sort of urge to just say yes.
For all one knows it was because of how captivating she was, her auburn hair in a messy bun while loose strains fell on her face, you wanted to do nothing more but tuck it behind her ear.
Wanting to see those beautiful green eyes again or the spotted freckles that only covered the mid of her face, you couldn't get yourself started on her pink plump lips, a type of lips you could kiss for hours.
You quickly shook yourself from such insane thought. You hadn't let yourself get too close to someone in who knows how long, why should that change for someone you had just laid eyes on? "I actually waited quite a while for this, sorry." You pointed out, slightly frowning.
The determined glint in her eyes disappeared, "Yeah, yeah. It's totally fine," She said shaking her head with a wave of her hand. You didn't know if she was trying to convince you or herself.
"Have a nice night." She told the both of you before walking out of the store. You muttered out a, "You too," once the doors shut, turning your head back to Nico who was looking at you with a smirk.
âWhat's that smirk for huh?"
"Nothing..." Nico said. Finally giving the currency to Nico, you kept an eye on him as you gathered your things. "It's just," The man began, earning an eye roll from you.
"Over the years I've known you. This is the first time I've seen you talk to a woman your age." You had been living in Edinburgh for twenty years, and Nico had set up shop seven years ago.
You were his first customer and you've been 'friends' ever since. You've lived in Edinburgh for twenty years but lived on Earth for thousands of years, not wanting to make friends or get a girlfriend because you knew you'd outlive them, it was an eerie feeling.
"It's not like that. We barely even had a conversation." You sigh out, gathering your things. "Goodnight, Nico! Keep the change." You briskly exited the shop, hating to admit that you were looking for the same redhead that was just in the store with you.
Once your eyes landed on her you quickly jogged up beside her, "Hi,"
Wanda slightly jumped in surprise at your voice, as she didn't hear your footsteps behind her due to the fact she was deep in her thoughts. "Hey?" She responded, sounding more like a question than an answer, stopping in her tracks to turn to you.
Your mind was racing with thoughts. A part of you wants to just give her the CDs, and the other part wants to invite her to watch the show with you, that way you'd both enjoy the comfort of the rom-com.
You were conflicted, and Wanda didn't need to go inside your mind to know what you were thinking, "As I said earlier, it's okay. I'll try catching a rerun on cable or something." Wanda muttered the last part, but still loud enough for you to hear.
"Um," You cleared your throat before speaking again."What if we just watched it together? I mean it'll be great for the both of us? This way no one has to feel-"
"I'd love to." Wanda cut you off with a large smile. "Great!" You said a little too happy, which made Wanda's smile widen, "I mean cool... cool." You tried to play it off causing the two of you to laugh.
You and Wanda stood there for a few moments, taking in the breeze of the cool night and each other's comforting presence. "My uh," You pointed behind you, "My place is that way."
Wanda nodded as you both turned around in sync towards the direction of your home. A silence fell over the two of you before you broke it, "Y/N." You said, a confused look filling Wanda's face causing you to let out an embarrassed laugh, "My name is Y/N."
"Wanda." She smiled, "My name is Wanda." The red-head repeated teasingly, you rolled your eyes before laughing with her.
"So, when did you get into Dick Van Dyke?" You asked, Wanda sent you a glance before answering. "My father was a DVD salesman and one day he brought the show home, it soon became a recurring favorite for me. You?"
You sent a gentle smile, admiring how her skin looks as the moonlight shined down on her. She was absolutely gorgeous, every time you looked at her you forgot about all your worries. And that feeling when everything washed away was so peaceful, so euphoric.
You fell back into the conversation just as easily as it was started.
There was something special about Wanda.
