Echoes

‘Are you sure this is okay?’ Wanda asked as she strapped the papoose to her body.

‘It is going to be weird anyway.’ Natasha came downstairs in her Yasha costume. ‘We’re too old and your sister is too young.’

‘But you guys look darn cute.’ Jean walked in, wearing a red outfit with devilled horns, and carrying her baby daughter fully dressed in cute goblin pajamas.

‘Just be safe.’ Emma, in angelic attire, kissed her youngest daughter’s head. ‘And don’t feed her candy, she goes with you guys just so our load is larger.’

‘Our?’ Natasha raised an eyebrow, her hair into a top knot. ‘I don’t see you guys trick-or-treating.’

‘We are grown adults.’ The redhead strapped her daughter safely into Wanda’s papoose. ‘We have a different Halloween.’

‘It is called dressing slutty, getting drunk, and fucking my wife’s brains out.’ Emma said as she adjusted her halo in the mirror.

‘Mom!’ Gasped Wanda, mirroring Jean’s shocked expression.

‘I think we should have gone with each other’s outfits.’ A trident poked her wife, as Jean teased her.

‘Nonsense,’ Emma shrugged and with a teasing smirk she gazed up at her wife. ‘I look so much better in white. And trust me… it is all white.’

‘Kids,’ Jean focused back on her oldest daughter and her girlfriend. ‘I think it is time to go.’

‘Wait.’ The blonde’s demeanor changed; she went from teasing to her “normal” self. She walked towards Wanda, kissed her cheek before turning to her youngest daughter. ‘Hey little munchkin,’ She whispered. ‘Have fun on your first Halloween with your big sister. Mommy loves you very much.’

Emma then walked away and straight into Jean’s open arms, they both looked at the girls who made their way to get ready and smiled. Wanda waved to her parents and led her girlfriend outside and onto the street.

The whole street had been made into a kid-friendly Halloween party, to which the entire neighbourhood had come. Lights dangled from every house as they walked, their hands laced together and dressed as Wanda’s favourite Critical Role couple with little Nott strapped to her.

Wanda, to combat all the noises was wearing her earplugs that helped her focus better and Natasha had given them to her. She grinned turned her head and saw Natasha who met her with a mirrored grin. One day, she thought, one day this will be done with our child.

‘God, I love you.’ Wanda breathed, leaning down to meet her shorter girlfriend.

‘Love you too.’ Natasha whispered back meeting Wanda’s lips in a soft kiss. ‘Now let’s use your sister to get extra candy.’

‘Sounds like a plan.’ Wanda chuckled, feeling her sister’s hands try to run through her braids. ‘I think she agrees.’

‘Come on, then.’ Natasha squeezed her hand and together they walked into the night.

Here, There & Everywhere

‘Mommy!’ Yelena yelled, the girl running past a panting Wanda with large hairy feet slippers. ‘Mommy! Hurry, we’re going to be late.’

‘Just…’ Wanda puffed. ‘Just a minute.’

‘Do you need help?’ Carol smugly asked, sipping on her beer, fully dressed in her Eowyn costume.

‘Do not tease her,’ Natasha, having gone with a Tauriel outfit, came next to her and helped Wanda to a chair.

‘I just wish I wasn’t fat for this.’ She bit her lip and gazed at her visible belly through the loose white dress she wore. She then turned her gaze to Carol as tears started forming in the corners of her eyes. ‘I’m sorry for making your holiday about me.’

‘Baby.’ Carol stood up and walked over towards her wives, then knelt in front of Wanda, placing two hands on her belly. ‘There is nothing for you to be sorry about, pregnancies are a bitch, when I had ‘Lena, I was grumpy all of the time.’

‘And now you are the sunshine in our house. Grumpypants.’ Natasha quipped

‘Shut it, pillowtits.’ Carol turned her attention to her other wife. ‘Guess who earned themselves a total of zero orgasms tonight.’

‘No, wait. Carol, no.’ The redhead stammered. ‘You look too hot for that.’

‘I know, torture, isn’t it?’ The blonde smirked at her, but as Natasha pouted her demeanor changed. ‘Fine, you get one, but it will be only after we showered Wanda in love.’

‘Fine.’

‘But back to you,’ She shot her wife one more glance, before going back to Wanda. ‘We can stay in if you want, Jane’s party can wait till next year.’

‘No, I’ll go. Darcy and I are in this together anyway.’ Wanda said.

‘Mommy?’ Yelena came into the room, a big pile of candy in her arms, which she must have gotten somewhere in the last five minutes since Wanda sat down. ‘Everything okay?’

‘Yes, sweetpea.’ She smiled brightly at her daughter. ‘Can you help me up?’

‘Yeah.’ Yelena smiled at her and got her back to her feet. ‘Do you need more help?’

‘What do you mean?’ Wanda asked.

‘Hold my hand for support or something?’ Proposed her daughter.

‘I’d never say no to that.’ Wanda grinned, before being led to her neighbours’ house by her darling daughter, with the second one in her belly.

Across the Universe

‘We’ve landed.’ Kate said, her lekku flexing after a long flight. ‘Are you sure we’re at the right place? There seem to be no intelligent species, only some primal beings.’

‘We’re in the correct place.’ Natasha told them.

‘I still think that the camp is a better place to be.’ Steve said, over the comms. ‘This is just asking for problems.’

‘I promised Wanda to show her the galaxy.’ The former Jedi said as she held her sleeping girlfriend in her arms. ‘And I will, you guys choose to join.’

‘We wanted to see some of it as well, Sis.’ Yelena sat next to her, her boots on the control panels.

‘Get your feet from my ship.’ Natasha growled. ‘Just go outside. And thank you for lending us V15.’

‘V15-10N is at your service.’ V15 said from behind them.

‘I just hope that we don’t get killed, again.’ Kate stood up and holstered her blaster pistol.

‘What again, you’re still alive?’ Natasha stated. ‘We’re just going to a party.’

‘With primal aliens.’ Yelena said.

‘It will be something that you have never seen before.’ Natasha defended, at the same time waking Wanda up gently. The former slave rubbed her eyes and smiled, before kissing Natasha’s cheek.

They got out of the Widow and stepped into a large forest with threes higher than the temple in Coruscant. ‘Wow.’ Whispered Wanda, clutching onto her girlfriend’s hand as behind them, Kate and Yelena did the same, one of Kate’s Lekku around the blonde’s shoulder.

‘Where to now?’ Yelena asked. ‘Is it far? Are we there yet?’

‘Just relax, we don’t want to scare them.’ Natasha whispered.

‘Who’s them?’ Yelena practically yelled.

‘I should have brought Clint, or just went with you.’ Natasha muttered to Wanda, who giggled.

‘I see movement in the upper trees, it appears to be a village of sorts.’ V15 said.

‘Great job, Viz,’ Wanda told them. ‘What are they?’

‘They’re Ewoks,’ Natasha told her. ‘And they are our hosts.’

Just then, they walked into a dozen spears pointing at them. Wanda knew that her girlfriend must have felt them coming but done nothing to stop them. She trusted Nat and suspected that their meeting with the creatures was part of the former Jedi's plans.

‘Who are you?’ said the leader in a foreign language that V15 managed to translate.

‘Tell them it is the Red Shadow.’ Natasha said. ‘Accepting the chief’s proposal.’

The created nodded and lowered their spear, the others doing the same. They were led up wooden stairs to a large wooden plateau where hundreds of the same creatures danced and feasted. Paint on their fur like masks shun in the faint light that was radiated by the candles inside carved pumpkins.

‘These are Ewoks,’ Natasha explained. ‘Every autumn on this moon they celebrate to shoo away spirits and last time I was here I saved the chief. He invited me to celebrate with them.’

‘It’s beautiful.’ Wanda said as an Ewok came up to her and looked up to her before hugging her leg. ‘Hey, little guy.’ She scratched behind his ear.

Off to the side, Kate had been placed on a chair as two Ewok’s started painting the purple skin of the Twi’lek with all sorts of colours. Yelena had found the food table and was stuffing herself full of all that she could find. V15 stood awkwardly to the side trying to shoo away young Ewoks trying to hug him.

‘You never seem to amaze me.’ Wanda whispered in her ear. ‘Thank you for everything.’

‘I’d promised I’d show you the galaxy.’ She laced her hand with Wanda. ‘And even though the Empire’s still hunting us, you deserve to see these things.’

‘I love you.’ She kissed Natasha’s cheek.

‘Love you too.’ She whispered back, just as the fireworks started coming out from above the trees.

I put a spell on you

‘Afterparty at Hellfire.’ Emma had told Wanda when they planned their Halloween night. ‘For a lot of people, it is the last time that they’ll all be here. Seventh years and such.’

‘Can we do a muggle one?’ Wanda asked. ‘Like dressing up, maybe with a theme like muggle jobs.’

‘I think that will give me some bonus points with my girlfriend.’ Emma grinned.

After the Halloween feast, all invited Students, basically the Unicorn Society of Hogwarts, made their way into their dormitories to change into their costumes for tonight. ‘I think Natasha will love this. You’re a muggle-auror right?’

‘Yeah, policewoman.’ Wanda checked her short skirts, it was tighter than usual, luckily, she managed to tuck herself properly. Her fishnets were clean and as she pulled on her boots she grinned. She looked hot if she was honest with herself. But is she looked hot, Emma looked downright sexy.

‘Do you think Jean will like this?’ She rustled with her skirt and put her headdress straight.

‘I mean, does she have eyes?’ Smirked Wanda.

‘I just saw this and thought that she’d like it, she always teases me that I look like I think I’m above people, haughty, vain, etc.’ Emma grabbed her wand, muttered an incantation and it turned into a plumeau. ‘So now I’m her servant for tonight. And trust me, I’ll serve her until satisfaction.’

‘Don’t want to hear that.’ Wanda yelled, applying her make-up.

‘You really need to get laid.’ Groaned the blonde. ‘Big prude.’

‘We’re waiting until I turn eighteen and can get surgery, but we’ve done other stuff.’ She shrugged.

‘Define other stuff.’ Emma smirked. Luckily for Wanda, she was saved by Mystique who came to gather them to go down.

‘Thank you all for inviting us.’ Peggy said as she joined them, dressed in an army outfit.

‘It’s fine as long as you drink the potion on the end making you forget where to find the club.’ Emma stated.

‘I really hope she’s joking.’ Raven stated.

‘I’d doubt that.’ Loki, dressed like a presidential candidate said.

The Hellfire Club was already buzzing as they got in, only having to dodge one teacher in the hallways. The entire Unicorn society, all of Hogwarts, Gays, Queers, and Allies had gathered in a room that had enlarged for them to fit all.

‘Baby.’ From afar, they could see Natasha walking up to Wanda, dressed fully in the outfit of a nurse. She passed America and Kate who were making out and ran into Wanda’s arms where she kissed her girlfriend.

‘You look amazing.’ Wanda breathed into her ear.

‘Have you seen Jean?’ Emma asked bluntly.

‘No, maybe Carol has.’ Giggled the redhead as Wanda booped her nose.

Emma searched to find the insufferable Gryffindor captain and found her, helping Pietro to do a kegstand with butterbeer.

‘Carol,’ She tapped her shoulder. ‘Do you know where Jeannie is?’ She asked.

‘No, but damn, you look good.’ Carol, in full Top Gun gear, looked up and down. Emma shot her a small smile. ‘Jean is a lucky person, Frost.’

‘Emma,’ Clint, Robin Hood costume, got her attention as he pointed to the door.

There stood Jean, her Jean, dressed in the exact same outfit as she was. Biting her upper lip, she walked with quick paces to her redhead. There she kissed her fellow maid and held her close to her.

‘Hot.’ Grinned the blonde.

‘Definitely.’ Jean whispered back.

‘I cannot believe we’re wearing the same outfit.’ Emma grinned. ‘I just wanted to put on a nice hot show for you.’

‘I thought the same.’ Jean blushed furiously as if she was out of her element. ‘But I don’t think we’re wearing the same.’

‘Why not?’ Emma gazed up into her love’s eyes.

‘I’m guessing that you’re wearing underwear.’ The redhead breathed, just before she was yanked by her hands back out of the Hellfire club. ‘Ems?’

‘Don’t care, there’s nobody in my dorm.’ Emma grunted taking Jean with her.

‘This is your party.’ Chuckled Jean. She then was pushed into a wall as Emma looked up at her.

‘Are you complaining?’ She asked eyes blown with teenage lust. ‘Or do you want this?’

‘Are you okay with missing your party?’ Jean asked.

‘I hate it so much when you care about stuff like that.’ Smiled Emma, kissing the redhead’s neck. ‘It makes me love you so much more.’

‘I love you too, Ems.’ Jean said, grabbing Emma’s hand and now leading her to the dungeons. ‘Well, let’s go to your dorm then.’

The party would have been fun, Emma thought, but as she felt the warmth of Jean’s hand radiating onto hers she found this to be even more of a pleasurable way to spend Halloween.

You can close your eyes

‘I hope Freddy or Jason drops by tonight.’ Wanda sighed as she finally found a moment of silence. ‘I could use a quick death.’

‘I don’t think we’re going to go to Emma’s tonight, aren’t we?’ Natasha sank onto the couch of their new house. They moved into the suburbs a couple of weeks ago, after Wanda gave birth to Natalia Elaine Grace Romanova-Maximoff. Much of their house was still unfinished, but with a baby and two toddlers, it was hard to find any fault with that.

‘We could just-’ Wanda got interrupted by an agonizing scream. ‘Fuck me.’

‘I wish,’ Groaned Natasha. ‘But there’s always somebody in need of us. I’ll go this time.’

‘No, it’s fine.’ Wanda rose like a zombie. ‘I gave them life; this is how they reward us.’

‘Little Red…’ Natasha tried to say, but Wanda had already left the room. She went up to calm Tommy, who had tried walking again but had fallen, waking up Billy who then started making noise as well. When she finally had got them to sleep again, she wanted to walk back down but was stopped by the soft cry of her newborn.

‘Shh.’ Wanda picked up her daughter. ‘Little Talia, go to sleep, my love.’

Nothing helped, she tried bouncing, walking, rocking, singing but nothing seemed to help. Eventually, she decided on just taking Natalia in her arms and downstairs. There, she was met with her wife who had two cups of hot cocoa on the coffee table and a movie ready for them to watch.

‘What’s this?’ Wanda asked.

‘You deserve a break.’ Natasha said, patting the spot next to her where Wanda sat down and lifted her shirt up. ‘I mean…’ Natasha started. ‘We could, but rather not with Natalia here.’

‘I’m not having sex with you as long as you stay sarcastic.’ Wanda said as she brought Talia to her breast.

‘I was only joking my love.’ She put her head onto Wanda’s shoulder. Happy for the moment of silence. ‘Although I do miss sex.’

‘I know.’ Wanda said. ‘Me too. What movie have you got for us?’

‘Nightmare before Christmas.’

‘Just press play.’ Wanda chuckled as the baby spit up a bit of milk on her chest. She wiped it away as they started watching, cuddled up together in their first moment of silence for a long while.

'Do you think we're ever getting a moment of just us again?' Natasha asked.

'I should hope so.' Wanda chuckled. 'I bought a Halloween outfit which was basically lingerie and I really would have liked for you to take that off me.'

'I'll call Kate and America tomorrow to babysit.' Natasha bit her lip as "This is Halloween" started playing.

Malysh & Milaya

‘I cannot believe this is actually happening.’ Wanda sighed as she laced her fingers with Natasha. ‘I mean, last year around this time, you were still dead, and I was holding onto a mirror image of you.’

‘Don’t talk about that now, Milaya.’ Natasha kissed her cheek. ‘I’m back and nothing can keep us apart.’

They were strolling down the streets of the village where they had made their home, the salty scent of the ocean in their noses. The weather was still hot enough for some loose dresses, but still Wanda had wrapped a scarf around them, ruining their “costumes”.

‘I still just…’ Wanda grew silent again, gazing next to her at her wife’s eyes. ‘I’m happy you’re back.’

‘Still,’ they passed some children in skeleton costumes. ‘That’s the past, we only need to worry about our future.’

‘Cool costume, Ma’am.’ One of the boys said to Wanda. ‘You look like an awesome witch.’

‘Thank you very much.’ Wanda said, handing them some candy, she’d conjured behind her back.

‘That was my candy.’ Natasha pouted as they walked away.

‘Relax, Malyshka.’ Wanda kissed her pout away, grabbing her wife by the zipper of her suit. ‘When we get home you can have all the treats you want.’

They were close back to their house when Natasha felt something or someone tug on her sleeve. She turned to see a little girl, no more than five years old, dressed up in a full Black Widow outfit.

‘Sorry.’ Somebody, presumably her mother grabbed onto her daughter. ‘She thinks you look just like her.’

‘Widow.’ Gurgled the girl.

‘Stace, leave the nice lady alone.’ The mother said.

‘It’s fine.’ Natasha crouched down to meet with the girl. ‘Did you like the Black Widow?’

‘She is my hero.’ Nodded the girl. ‘I want to be like her when I grow up.’

Wanda gazed at the cute display of her wife and the girl. ‘Do you miss her?’

‘I don’t believe she is dead.’ The girl told Wanda. ‘Sometimes when I look outside my window it is like I can see her.’

‘Stacy,’ Her mother sighed. ‘That is impossible, come we should go home.’

Wanda saw her wife lean in and whisper something in Stacy’s ear. She then stood up and winked at the girl, before kissing Wanda’s cheek.

‘Bye!’ The girl said as she was led away by her mother.

‘You told her you’re still alive?’ Smirked Wanda.

‘I might have,’ She shrugged. ‘Did you see how cute and adorable she was?’

‘I did.’ Wanda said. ‘I think it was a good idea to wear our hero outfits to Halloween. Plus, I get to fuck the black widow tonight, which is thrilling. Apart from my wife, she is the hottest woman alive.’

‘The Black Widow is technically dead. Only Natalia Maximoff still exists.’ Natasha joked.

‘Does that make me a necrophile?’ Wanda quipped.

‘Gross.’ Chucked the redhead.

‘Still,’ Wanda trailed her fingers across Natasha’s chest, dragging the zipper slightly down as they walked onto their porch. ‘Seeing how you were with Stacy… I can’t wait to see how you do with our little bean.’

‘I cannot wait to meet them.’
