(The birthday party.)
Chapter twenty two:
It had been an intense few days of training for me but not for Wanda she was getting stronger by the day and had energy in excess. She was happy that was all that mattered. We spent the days in the training room and the evenings in the cabin. It was nice to separate work and our personal life. It was Friday night and we were having a surprised birthday party for Wanda. I told Bucky to organize it all as I couldn't keep secrets from Wanda she looked at me with her beautiful eyes and I wanted to reveal any secrets and all secrets. Carol Danvers just told Wanda that she was busy that wasn't the case at all. She's been helping Bucky with organizing the celebration.
We had finished training and I was exhausted. Wanda and I started to head back to the cabin to freshen up. I saw that Wanda was tired so I picked her up and walked regularly knowing that she wasn't fond of being carried at speed. I then put her down on the sofa and gave her a quick kiss on the cheek as I sat down next to her.
"So my love I know you're tired should I just order us a pizza and we can watch a movie?" Said Wanda as she allowed me to rest my head on her shoulder.
"Actually I have a surprise for you. We're both going to get dressed up and have a nice evening. If you're wearing the red dress again I'm going to have to ask for a warning. I've worked hard this week and I'm not sure that my heart can take it." I replied.
Wanda just winks at me before going to the shower. "Care to join me?" Said Wanda as she took my hand and kissed me. This evening was going to be fun.
I got dressed wearing a white business suit and black pants with a blue tie. Wanda looked amazing. That pink dress killed me every time. Sometimes I look at Wanda thinking that this was all a prank she was playing. I mean Wanda was so out of my league.
"What are you thinking about babe?" Said Wanda.
"Just how lucky I am to have you." I replied before kissing her gently on the lips.
"I think you'll find that I'm the lucky one. Come on we're going to be late." Said Wanda before leading me to the main building.
Before we get to the bar I used my hands to cover Wanda eyes. "Is this really necessary?" Said Wanda as she walks into the bar.
"Happy twenty nineth birthday." Everyone yelled as I removed my hands from Wanda's eyes. The room is decorated with a happy birthday banner and lots of balloons. I then turned around to kiss Wanda on the cheek.
"Thank you everyone." Said Wanda gracefully and a little overwhelmed.
Carol Danvers walks over handing me a glass of champagne for a toast. "So you know I've had a rough time recently. I just wanted to thank everyone here for keeping Wanda and I going. A special thank you to Bucky for knowing that I was in there to be found and to the people of Wakanda for fixing me when I thought all hope was lost. To Bucky and Wakanda." I said raising my glass.
"To Bucky and Wakanda." Replied everyone else.
Wanda then took me over to talk with Carol Danvers and the team I assumed was the A-Force. A team with a bunch of girls.
"It's nice to meet the girls who turned Carol Danvers into a romantic sap." I said shaking Pepper Potts, Hope Van Dynes, Cassie Lang's, Kate Bishop's, Gamora 's, Nebula's, Kamala Khan's and Mantis's hand's.
"You're one to talk Travis you write all the reasons why you love Wanda on little notes and put them in a jar for her." Replied Carol Danvers.
"So you admit your on my level of whipped?" I said. Carol Danvers just rolled her eyes while she gave me a quick hug.
Suddenly I get a tap on the shoulder and turned around to see Jean Grey. "What are you doing here?" I said.
"I came here to see all the women who made my best friend a part of their team." Replied Jean Grey.
"You are a lot of mean I'm going to get some vodka and we are going to have a lot of shots if I'm going to tolerate your teasing." I said.
Wanda, Carol Danvers, Pepper Potts, Nebula, Jean Grey and I was sat in the corner drinking and talking about the new A-Force team. I was watching Monica talk to Sam Wilson.
"How did that happen?" I said.
"When you were in Wakanda it brought out a whole different side of Sam he really looked out for Monica and then this happened." Replied Carol Danvers.
"He's not good enough for her." Said Nebula.
"Will anyone ever be good enough for her?" I replied and Nebula just shook her head no.
Peter Parker then brought over Mary Jane Watson.
"So Peter says you're basically a robot now." Said Mary Jane Watson.
"Not exactly but I guess so. What do you think of the little face bum fluff he is trying to grow?" I replied.
"I think that it's cute." Said Mary Jane Watson. They were so adorable together.
By 10pm everyone was dancing and we were all having a great time. I wanted to thank Carol for looking out for Wanda when she went to get a drink.
"Hey Carol, aside from teasing you I wanted to say thank you. I really appreciate you looking out for Wanda." I said.
"I was no problem at all. She really loves you Travis. You know every time when she would eat dinner she would read the note that you left for her." Replied Carol Danvers.
"Which one?" I said.
"You're my home." Replied Carol Danvers. I started to well up. I hadn't really cried since I got back. Carol Danvers patted me on the back before giving me a slice of sausage pizza to cheer me up which made me giggle.
I then went over to dance with the stunning Wanda and our wonderful friends. Never did I think I would be this lucky to have a family who cared about me. I knew in that moment I had people that would do anything for me. Wanda then put her hands around my shoulders as we danced to the music. I then kissed her passionately and romantically.
As we pulled away I said. "You're my home."
