Wanda stopped you as you walked by her, gently hold your arm. There’s nothing to worry about.” You say sternly, moving your hand away from her reach. We all are” she adds slowly reaching to grab your hand. “I wouldn’t call sleeping all day fine” she peaks not buying your excuse. Just tried” you avoid her strong eye contact. Her eyes watched as you suddenly felt uncomfortable, trying her hardest not read your mind and find out why her friend seemed so lost. “I wanted to stay and make sure you’re okay” she admits, her look turns to a more concerned friend. “Why didn’t you go?” you asked as you dipped the warm coffee, your brain thanking you for the delicious liquid. “Just a quick mission, everybody should be back within a few days” Wanda walks over to the kitchen island in front of you. “I guess” you replied without effort, “everybody leave again?” you stirred your coffee. “Did you sleep well?” the redhead smiles softly. “Good afternoon” a voice made your tired eyes look up from the countertop. With the kitchen empty, you made yourself a coffee. “Fuck sake” you mumbled to yourself knowing you’d missed the calls. Nobody in sight, they’ve gone on another mission. ![]() The compound was quiet, too quiet as you made your way to the kitchen. Waking up, your brain screamed for coffee, but your body didn’t want to move, each day was a fight just to find any energy to keep yourself moving. You barely went on missions anymore due to sleeping through your alarms and the poundings on your door and yet you never felt guilty. ![]() Soon your thoughts grew darker, and you became more distant, closed off and avoided everybody when you could. When everybody would go to bed or be off doing things with each other you were left in a mindset you couldn’t shake, no matter how many times you told yourself you weren’t alone. Everyday you’re surrounded by people who love and care about you, being an Avenger has its perks, but you still couldn’t help but feel alone. You missed the times when everyday excited you, when life wasn’t so blue and dark. It was a little after 2pm when you finally woke up, you weren’t able to fall asleep until 4am, your mind running wild with some of the darkest thoughts as you cried silently in your room.
