SUMMARY: Wanda asks Thor to take her away from the City. He spirits her away to her home land.
FORMAT: WHATEVA'

For the first two days, after Pietro left with just a shoulder to cry on if she needed it, Wanda stayed inside her apartment and exhausted its liquor supply. The third day, she stayed in her bed with a head ache that she refused to magic away. For three days--17, 18, 19--she had time to think over her relationship with Pietro now that she ruined things indefinitely with her out of control confession. Pietro had sounded understanding, but she knew that she would never have that special co-dependent relationship they shared home. She never imagined that having a second-chance at living would mean having to give up who she lived for all her life.

Wanda came to a decision that she had to get away. She couldn't bear to look at the City anymore. Every corner was a constant reminder of what a hole she dug for herself. These were the shops Pietro took her to. This was their restaurant. This was their cafe. This was their shared home--though he never showed up these days.

She was unsure of the idea for a whole five minutes before packing her trunk and on a whim, teleporting herself to Thor's living room.

Thor was the only one left in the City she did not feel awkward around. Though he may have known her as another Scarlet Witch, he still looked like he cared. She wasn't so much mad about the mansion debacle--she didn't even believe he did anything untoward anymore considering he was in her apartment while she was drunk and puking in her toilet and only helped her as opposed to taking advantage. That did wonders to change a girl's mind.

After chastising him for what a mundane apartment he was keeping (all he had were the bare essentials, honestly), she brought up the idea of going to the Balkans to recuperate. She thought he would appreciate it. When she fought Thor, it was in the wild forest with snow and cold slicing through her skin.

He chose the spot for a reason, didn't he?

She teleported them away to Begovo Brdo. She had been here before with Clint. It had been a year and yet still only felt like a few months prior. She had felt so enraged that her beloved home was replaced with this, but at that point, she accepted anything.

It was the winter. The air was frigid and she wrapped her fur coat tightly around herself as she checked them into a Bed & Breakfast--two rooms, she insisted. The region was being plagued with snow storms, so the ground was white and fluffy for miles around them.

After her bags would put away and she dressed more warmly, she stepped outside to take in the fresh air and scenery and for the first time in days, she smiled.
