Our Ultimate Bronco Badlands Build

When it comes to enhancing the Ford Bronco, we spared no expense in creating the ultimate off-road beast that maintains its daily driving comfort. From performance upgrades to luxurious touches, our Ford Bronco is what we find to be the perfect balance between all the adventure capabilities while maintaining it’s reliable daily driving duties. While we say we spared no expense, (mainly the $10,000 suspension kit) we were able to achieve Raptor qualities, at a budget friendly price tag. The VR Tuned ECU Tuning Box and VR Performance Bronco Exhaust System we proper additions to make this the ultimate Jeep killer. Let’s jump into some finer details of this build!

Icon Vehicle Dynamics Stage 8 Suspension Kit –

To elevate the Bronco’s off-road capabilities, we incorporated the Icon Vehicle Dynamics Stage 8 Suspension Kit. This high-performance suspension system enhances ground clearance, improves handling, and provides a smooth ride on rough terrains. With improved articulation and damping, this kit ensures the Bronco conquers any obstacle that comes its way. Check out this amazing suspension package HERE. Not looking to make the jump into Stage 8? That is totally ok! Icon’s suspension packages are completely modular and give drivers the option to begin their build journey as low as a Stage 1 Kit and build as far as Stage 8 and beyond! Heck, you could even start with a IVD Spacer Kit to get your Bronco nice and level before replacing the stock suspension. This is one reason we love Icon Vehicle Dynamics and the mission to have performance solutions for all Bronco drivers!

The forged wheel option is a great compliment to the massive 38″ tires to help save some weight. Did you know the weight difference between between at forged vs cast wheel can be about 2 lbs per wheel?! Factor in sprung weight and that can actually make a difference! Not to mention the strength of Forged wheels are no match for cast production wheels. Check out the D14 VR Forged Wheels for the Ford Bronco HERE.

1 | 2

Four Months Later

Wanda and Vision’s wedding was fast approaching, the date only about a month away, and the wedding plans were in full swing. They got their dream venue, she had her dream dress, everything was seemingly perfect. So why did Wanda feel so...weird?

She should be thrilled. She was marrying the man she loved, vowing to spend the rest of their lives by each others side. But instead of counting down the days in a good way, she’s been starting to dread it.

At first she chalked it up to pre-wedding jitters, but those usually happened at the last minute, right? Not starting pretty much the day after you got engaged. She couldn’t pinpoint why exactly she was feeling this way...all she knew was that you weren’t helping matters.

Don’t get her wrong, you’ve been an amazing maid of honor yes, of course she asked you, making sure everything went according to plan, and avoided any potential disasters before they happened. You’ve been her rock since the day she met you, and even more so now during one of the most important times in her life. The only problem she had with you...was your stupid relationship with Kara.

She had nothing against Kara as a person. You were unfortunately right, she was pretty cool and they got along well. She could also tell that you were happy with her, which is something she should be happy about but...wasn’t.

She knew she was being ridiculous. Maybe she didn’t wanna see her best friend be taken away from her? Yeah, that must be it. She didn’t want anyone to distract you from her. She wanted you to be by her side 24/7, with no one else except maybe Pietro gaining your attention.

And yeah, she knows that sounds incredibly selfish and toxic, but so what? It’s how she feels.

Wanda was currently hanging out in the lounge area of the compound, about to turn on the TV, hoping to drown herself in some sitcoms, when you sped in. Her hair blew with the breeze of your speed, but she didn’t even flinch, knowing it was you.

“Okay!” You started, as you looked down at the IPad in your hands. “So, I know the rehearsal dinner isn’t traditionally until the week of the wedding, but then I thought ‘who cares about traditional?’ Sooo I was thinking, what if we had it next week?” You finished your speech, plopping down on the couch next to the witch, who turned her head to look at you with wide eyes.

“Next week? That’s so soon, we don’t need more time to prepare?”

“Please, Wanda, when are you gonna learn to trust my awesome Maid of Honor skills?” Wanda chuckled at that. “A week is plenty of time. There’s this beautiful restaurant in the city. Upper East Side, not too far from the venue actually. Here.” You brought up the restaurants website and handed the pad to Wanda.

She began swiping through pictures, also taking a look at their menu. She was impressed with your find. It was beautiful, like you said, but also wasn’t too uppity or sophisticated, which she appreciated.

Because, as much as she loved Vis, he always had a more...finer taste. Something she could never keep up with.

“This is perfect, Y/n!”

“See? I told you!” You smiled as you took the pad back, standing up. “They’re pretty pricy, and there’s always a reservation list a mile long, but what good is having a Tony Stark around if we can’t use him for our gain?”

Wanda laughed, happiness filling her gaze at the thought of the dinner. “This is an amazing find, Y/n! Where’d you even hear of this place?”

“I took Kara there for her birthday last week. Had to make the reservation back in March, but it was worth is for sure!”

And there goes that happiness.

Wanda’s gaze fell down to her lap for a moment, before she looked back up at you. That half smile that she got so used to having around you these last few months now planted on her face. “Who knew you were such a romantic?”

“I know right?” You answered, not catching on to Wanda’s obvious change in mood. “So we’re set for it then?”

Wanda sighed, the idea of the restaurant now tainted with the knowledge of how you discovered it. Still, she couldn’t look you in the face and turn you down. Not when you’re wearing that annoyingly perfect dopey smile that you only got when you were excited. “Yeah, we’re set for it.”

“Yes!” You fist pumped, causing a small smile to appear on the witch’s face. “Alright, I’m gonna go talk to Tinman about it, then we can talk more details.” Before Wanda could respond you sped off.

She turned her attention back to the TV, slumping down on the couch. She pointed the remote back to the TV, intent on continuing her search, but paused.

“Ugh, now I need a drink.”

One Week Later

Everything was set in motion for the dinner. Everyone was invited, seating arrangements set, meals chosen. Another flawless stop on the ride to Wanda and Vision’s wedding.

Or it was, until you came to talk to her two days before.

“So you’re not gonna be there?” Wanda asked you, completely saddened by what you just told her.

“Trust me, I tried to get out of it.” You sighed, hating breaking bad news to Wanda. You never wanted to see her sad, especially not at your hands. “Steve is insistent though. Apparently HYDRA has been experimenting and trying to make more speedsters. Me and Piet are really the only ones who can handle it.”

“Why can’t Pietro just go?”

“Wandsss, you know that wouldn’t be right.” You teased, but Wanda wasn’t budging.

“Well then I’ll go with you!” She exclaimed happily, and you actually laughed at the suggestion, thinking she was joking. When she didn’t laugh, you realized she wasn’t.

“You can’t miss your own rehearsal dinner.” You put your hands on her shoulders, rubbing your thumbs gently in an effort to comfort her. She visibly relaxed at your touch. “Don’t worry, we’ll do our best to get it done quickly, but if we can’t, I told Nat everything she needs to know. She’ll take care of it.”

“But-”

“It’ll be okay, Wanda. Trust me. You won’t even notice I’m gone.” Wanda wanted to fight with you on that, her immediate thought being ‘I always notice when you’re gone’ You were her rock. You were with her every step of the way. She couldn’t do this without you.

She already felt as if she was losing you to Kara...she couldn’t bare not having you at the dinner. She just couldn’t. You were the most integral part of it to her.

She didn’t stop to wonder why she felt that way when it should be her fiancé that filled that role.

Before she could voice anything to you though, you both turned at the sound of Pietro’s voice.

“Alright, slowpoke. Wheels up in ten. You ready?” He walked in, dressed in his super suit, duffel bag slung over his shoulder. “You aren’t even dressed yet?”

“It’ll take me like two seconds. I was just, oh I don’t know, telling your sister that we might not be at her rehearsal dinner.” You said sarcastically, causing the man to scratch the back of his neck.

“Yeah, sorry about that sestra. We’ll be at the wedding though, definitely!” Wanda acknowledged her brother with a nod, her attention turning back to you.

“You’re leaving right now?” She said, disappointment lacing her tone.

You gave her a sad smile. “Yeah, it was kind of a last minute thing.” You shrugged. “Don’t worry, I’ll be back before you know it. Just remember to have fun, okay? It’s gonna be great.” Wanda didn’t get the chance to respond before you gave her a sweet peck on the cheek and then running off, her brother not far behind you.

She lifted her hand to her cheek, feeling the ghost of your lips still on there.

“It’ll be great when you get back.”

Three Months Later

You didn’t come back.

Wanda still remembers the day of her rehearsal dinner, but not for the reasons one should. It would forever be burned into the back of her mind.

The night was going beautifully, everything Wanda could’ve dreamed of. You were right to trust Nat, she handled it like a pro. She was still missing your presence dearly, but she tried her best to push it to the back of her mind. She’s meant to be celebrating her relationship with Vis after all, what was she doing thinking of someone else?

Vision rose his glass he couldn’t drink but still had to play along, preparing to give the final toast of the evening. He never got the chance to speak up as loud commotion began to happen towards the entrance of the restaurant.

She recognized Pietro, from what she could see his suit was in taters, signaling a rough battle. He went to find Steve, spotting him quickly and sped over. There was hushed discussion between the two, her twin getting more and more hectic in his movements. Steve tried his best to calm him down, but she could tell he looked distraught as well.

It was then that she noticed. You weren’t with him.

She ignored the sinking feeling in her gut as much as she could, hoping she was wrong. That you would come through the doors only a second later. When you didn’t, Wanda stood.

“Pietro!” She shouted, causing the attention to fall on her. She didn’t care, focus entirely on her brother. “What’s going on?” She asked, more like demanded. The two men exchanged a glance, Steve nodding. Pietro turned to her, and she already knew by the look on his face.

“It’s Y/n...she’s...she vanished.”

Needless to say the night ended right after that.

Pietro later explained everything to them as best he could. They all knew your powers were an anomaly and different from his. While he obtained his speed from the mind stone, you were struck by lightning. Seemed simple enough, but your powers had progressed steadily, while Pietro remained at around the same speed for years.

HYDRA had been experimenting using what they called the ‘Speed Force’. Nobody really knew what it meant, but you had just learned that's how you got your powers. It was an interdimensional force that cracked through their reality, appearing in the form of the lightning bolt that struck you. You were connected to this force.

How HYDRA managed to learn of it, nevermind pull from it to use for experiments, no one knew.

The mission had been a trap, meant to lure you in to attempt to rip your speed from you to finish their tests. The lab rats had surrounded you both, overwhelming you quickly. What they didn’t account for however, was that having so many beings connected to this speed force using their speed at once would rip a whole in your dimension.

The only way to stop it was to close it in on itself. Sending all the people with the connection into that dimension.

That included you.

You sacrificed yourself to save the world. Wanda knew you didn’t hesitate to make that choice, that’s just who you were as a person. But she hated you for it. You left her behind, without so much as a goodbye.

Weeks went by and Wanda fell into a depression. She withdrew from everyone, including her fiancé. She was really struggling with this. Everyone was struggling, but not in the same way she was. She felt as though her heart had been ripped out.

With the wedding date rapidly approaching, Vision found it best to just postpone it until further notice.

Wanda knew Pietro had contacted Kara, informing her of the events and your disappearance. She couldn’t imagine what the girl was going through, but she couldn’t help but think it was worse for her. Yeah, you’ve been dating Kara for a few months now, but she’s known you for years. It didn’t compare.

She saw Kara come to your room in the compound to pick up her items. Her depressed features telling her everything she needed to know. She felt bad for making this a silent competition after that.

Bruce and Tony began researching the speed force as much as they could, even contacting Wakanda to see if Shuri knew of anything. It was a force that was outside mortal understanding, almost as if it were magic. Wanda had tried contacting Strange about it, but he didn’t know much of it either. It seemed hopeless.

Until one day Tony came into the compound living room with a weird looking gun. Something that looked like it was ripped from a Portal video game. Those were your favorite.

“We found a way we can get her back.” Tony had announced, and Wanda felt the most hopeful she had in years. Everyone followed the billionaire out into the outside training grounds, where there was more than enough room for this test.

“Okay, so while we can’t access much about this place, what we learned from the HYDRA files suggests we can access it for short periods of time.” Bruce began.

“So, us big brains figured that if we can hone in on Y/n’s location somehow while accessing it, it should be able to be enough to find her and pull her out.” Tony continued.

“Thing is...we only have one shot.” Bruce finished. Wanda was ecstatic. You were coming home. This was gonna work, she knew it.

“What about the risks, doctor?” Vision piped up from beside her, causing her to glare up at her fiancé. Who cared about the risks? This is you we’re talking about.

Before she could speak up though, Tony did for her. “Everything has risks my young robo man. Family is worth it.” He began to prep the gun, but the android wasn’t finished yet.

“I understand that, sir, but my findings suggest that-”

“Vis.” Wanda had enough and cut him off with a harsh tone. That was enough to get him to be quiet.

After a few more moments, the gun was ready to go. Tony was on the front lines, armor appearing on his body to protect himself. Everyone else was standing about ten feet back. “Alright kids, moment of truth. In three...two...” Tony fired the gun, a blue light shooting out, which led to a blue portal-esque whole opening in midair. Everyone stared at it, hoping to see you coming out of it, but nothing came.

Tony began to struggle with the ray, and he began to shout out. “We can’t keep this open forever! It’s becoming unstable!”

“Sir, I believe it would be best to shut it down!” Vision yelled over the commotion. Wanda didn’t even hesitate to counter him.

“No! Just give it a few more seconds!”

Vision turned to his fiancé with an incredulous look. “Darling, it’s becoming increasingly unstable! It’s not worth the risks!”

“Yes it is!” Wanda turned her attention back to the portal. “She’s more than worth it.” She said the last part quieter, but Vision still heard it.

Before they could continue their back and forth, a bright yellow burst of lightning zoomed out of the portal. It was so powerful that it blew all of them back slightly, causing Tony to release the trigger on the portal, closing it.

That didn’t seem to matter though, as everyone's attention landed on where the lightning blast led. There you were, standing about thirty feet away from them. Your suit looked to be destroyed, really only having enough to cover your private parts conveniently enough. You were glowing, and after affect of the lightning that you had just produced.

You picked your head up weakly, taking a look at the crowd of people in front of you. Wanda’s face lit up. You were back. You were really here.

However, before anyone got the chance to say anything, you passed out.

One Week Later

Much to everyone’s relief, you were very much alive and physically well. You woke up only a few hours after you had passed out.

But unfortunately, that was where the good news ended.

When you woke up, it was almost as if you were a blank slate. You were operating on complete autopilot, not talking or acknowledging anyone around you. It was scary if Wanda was being honest. It was even worse when she looked into your mind and saw...nothing.

You had always been a very expressive and vocal person. To see you become a literal shell of yourself was horrible.

But that wasn’t the end of it.

It was as if a light switch flipped in your brain, taking you from one extreme to the next. After about two days of you functioning like a zombie, you were all of a sudden thrusted into overdrive. You were speeding around the compound at a pace that no one had ever seen you move before, even when you were pushing it. You were mumbling to yourself constantly about nonsense no one understood, and you still didn’t acknowledge anyone in your presence.

This time when Wanda looked into your head, your thoughts were going way too fast for her to be able to understand.

Pietro had tried to keep up with you several times to try and stop you, but it was no use. You had gotten faster than him over the years, but now it wasn’t even a competition.

No one knew what to do.

Steve ended up getting lucky with a trick shot of his shield. It ricocheted off one of the walls and you just so happened to speed into its path, knocking you out.

This time, for your safety and everyone else’s, you were put in one of the compound’s secure cells until they could figure out how to fix you. The longer you had been like this, the less hopeful it seemed. Wanda was not at all a fan of the main theory that Bruce presented.

“The speed force seems to run outside of space and time as we know it. Given it’s nature, it’s not impossible to think that things move at a ridiculous pace there. Y/n was trapped in there for only three months to us, but for her...it could’ve been thousands of years. We could be looking at complete mental deterioration...She might be past the point of fixing.”

Wanda refused to give up hope. She didn’t give up hope that you’d return, and you did. So it only stands to reason that’ll you’ll become yourself again. You had to.

“Wanda?” The witch’s thoughts were interrupted by her fiancé, who phased into the room. She fought the urge to roll her eyes. She had no idea why, but Vision’s presence seems to be annoying her a lot these days.

“What’s up Vis?” She groaned as she sat up from the bed she was lying in. Your bed.

“I was wondering if we can chat for a moment.”

“I guess I don’t have much of a choice.” She sat up on the bed completely, patting the spot next to her haphazardly. The android took this as a sign, and sat beside her. The two sat in silence for a moment.

“I think it is obvious to both of us...that we were not the same as we once were.” Wanda looked up from her lap into her fiancé's eyes, surprised at what he was saying. She stayed silent. “I understand you are upset about Y/n, I am too, we all are.” There was the urge to roll her eyes again. “But...you’ve been pulling away from me exponentially. It’s almost as if we aren’t even friends at this point.”

“I’m sorry if it feels that way, Vis.” Wanda sighed. “I’m just very stressed right now. Y/n is my best friend...”

“And are you certain that’s all she is?” Wanda’s eyes widened at the question, but before she could say anything, Vision continued. “I know that you two were once...intimate-”

“That was one night almost two years ago. Before we even got together-”

“There is also the fact that you’ve gotten very upset any time Y/n mentioned her girlfriend.”

“I...I wasn’t upset, I just want the best for her-”

“Our wedding got postponed because of her disappearance-”

“Do you really think I’d get married while my best fucking friend was missing, Vision!?” Wanda was getting increasingly upset by this interrogation. Vision didn’t let this deter him though, as he delivered the final blow.

“You were also willing to let reality be ripped apart just so she’d return.” Wanda didn’t have an answer to this one. “That is not normal behavior for a best friend, Wanda. I think we both know that.”

She was stunned into silence as she mulled all of this over. “Um...”

“Guys!” Sam’s voice cut her off, and she silently thank him for it as she had nothing she could’ve said. “There’s a breakthrough with Y/n!” He ran down the hall, Wanda not even hesitating to follow. All thoughts from the conversation wiped from her brain, as her focus went entirely to you. Vision reluctantly followed behind.

When she made it to your holding cell, Bruce Nat and Tony were already surrounding it. She ran up to the glass to see you, still pacing around, this time at a normal human speed. The thing that was interesting though, was you were looking your teammates in the eye, something you haven’t done for as long as you’ve been awake.

“What’s going on?” She frantically asked, not tearing her eyes from you.

“She’s gaining awareness, which is definitely progress.” Bruce began. “The odd thing is, she seems to be going through some sort of trance. Whoever her focus is on she just remembers random past conversations she had with them.”

“As nostalgic as it is to hear what you first said to me, Speedy, a simple ‘hi’ would’ve sufficed.” Tony said as he stared at you as well. As weird as your behavior was, he was glad that you were starting to come back.

“What’s going on!?” Pietro’s voice was heard as he sped up to the group. “Is she back?”

Before anyone could answer, everyone noticed your attention turn to him. You smiled. “Let’s see what you got, wannabe.” The tone of your voice and what you said didn’t match. Pietro’s confusion became evident as he turned to look at Bruce.

“That’s what she said to me when we first fought each other... way back during Ultron.”

“Yeah, she’s reliving the greatest hits it looks like.” Natasha provided.

“Thanks for always having my back, Piet.” You started again, attention still on Pietro. “She’s happy, and that’s all that really matters.”

“Doctor, is there anyway to tell if this will fade? Progress into her living in the present?” Vision cut in, but before anyone could answer him, your attention was now on the android.

“Hey there, Robocop.” Everyone chuckled at the nickname, even Vision himself who had never been fond of it. “I don’t think that’s the right one. Too flashy.” Vision’s eyes widened slightly at the conversation you were remembering.

“Sir, I think we should-” He began to address Tony, but you still weren’t done.

“Keep it simple, okay? Don’t hire that string quartet, she’ll get overwhelmed. She always talked about how romantic the night was, how much she loves the stars.”

“What is she talking about?...” Wanda asked quietly as she heard you talk. She finally tore her gaze away from you and turned to her fiancé, face hardening slightly.

“I don’t-” Vision didn’t get the chance to finish before you cut him off.

“If she says yes, don’t let her go, okay? Wanda Maximoff is once in a lifetime.”

Wanda gasped as she pieced it all together. Vision’s proposal had been one of the best moments in their relationship, and it was really the only time where everything was just...perfect. It felt as though he knew her, he finally understood her. No moments like that have happened since, and she never really understood why his proposal was so different than his normal behaviors.

It’s because it wasn’t him...it was you.

“Why didn’t you ever tell me Y/n helped you with everything?” Wanda’s eyes began glowing red as she glared at the android, who had flinched slightly.

“I just...never thought it to be relevant.” That wasn’t entirely true. Vision knew. He knew how you felt about Wanda, and he had his suspicions that Wanda felt similar, even is she never admitted it to herself. If he revealed you helped him with something like that, he feared she would leave him and go running to you. So he took credit for it.

“You lying little-”

“Hey, stranger.” Your voice cut Wanda off. She turned to look at you, and for the first time in months, you were looking back. Her red eyes dissipated as she walked closer to the glass separating you.

The smile you were giving her was different than the ones you gave the others. Softer, full of love and care. She doubted you were even aware of doing it, but the sight of that smile made her feel as though everything would be okay again.

“Y/n..” She whispered, almost as if she talked too loudly, you would disappear again.

“Someone’s got insomnia, huh?” Wanda chuckled as you recalled that night. It was one of the first conversations you had with her, you were both awake at 3 am.

“You breaking up with me already?” Wanda sighed at that one. She couldn’t lie to herself and say that she hadn’t thought about that night several times over the last year or so. Even more so in the recent months. And now more than ever, she wondered if she made the right decision turning you down.

Everyone remained silent as you started going through more moments of your and Wanda’s relationship.

“I’m happy for you, I really am.”

“Marriage is gonna look so good on you Maximoff, I know it.”

“Just remember to have fun, okay? It’s gonna be great.”

Wanda began to feel the tears escape her eyes and fall down her cheeks. She figured you were done as she remembered that was the last thing you had said to her. The last thing you said to her as yourself anyway. She took a deep breath and began to take a step back to ask Bruce a question, but you interrupted before she could.

“I don’t even know why I’m in love you, Maximoff. You’re a pain in my ass.”

Wanda’s eyebrows furrowed as she turned to look at you again. What you said had shocked her, but she was more concerned by the look you had on your face. Your sweet smile fell and you began to look distraught. Confused.

“Is that something she’s said to you before?” Bruce asked.

“No. No, never.” Wanda stared at you wide eyed at the confession, however you didn’t stop.

“Babe, don’t you think we should get some sleep? We got that big mission tomorrow.”

“The ring I picked out for Vision was always the ring I wanted to give you, but this one is definitely better...if you accept that is.”

“I don’t know, I kind of like Tommy better. Works both ways.”

You started going through these thoughts faster and faster, worry evident on everyone’s face.

“She...she might be saying things that haven’t happened yet.” Bruce concluded, astonished.

“So what, she can see the future now?” Tony asked. No one provided an answer as you kept going. The longer you went on, the harder it was to understand the words coming out of your mouth as you began to speak at superspeed. When you crouched over grabbing your head in pain, Wanda was finally snapped out of the trance you put her in.

“She’s in pain!” She panicked, watching your state getting worse. You fell to your knees briefly before getting up and speeding around your cell. “Help her!”

“Got it.” Nat said simply as she walked over to a control panel outside your cell door. “Sorry about this, Y/n.” She muttered as she hit a button. All of a sudden a screeching sound made its way to your ears. You stopped speeding and covered your ears, letting out a scream of pain. Only a moment later, you passed out again.

Everyone was too stunned to speak, the events that just happened incredibly hard to process. After a few moments of complete silence, the sound of heavy footsteps walking away caught their attention.

“Darling-”

“Not now, Vision. I need to think.” Wanda was out of the room before anyone else could utter a word.

Wanda cried herself to sleep that night in your bed.

Two Weeks Later

You showed no real progress since then. You had a few more similar episodes, but nothing new of note. Wanda was losing patience.

Wanda had broken up with Vision not too long after the scene at your cell. It surprised her how easy it was for her to do so, at most just feeling guilty for having to disappoint the wedding guests. She really should’ve known sooner, and she could only bring herself to wish that you were there with her. You’d help her find the clarity she needed. You were her rock for a reason. What happens when you lose that?

She knew you were in there, she did. She just needed to get you to come out.

She was laying in bed, mulling the events from the last few months over in her head. She sat up suddenly as she made a spur of the moment decision.

Fuck it

She stood up and made her way through the compound. Only one destination in mind.

She arrived outside of your cell. You were sitting on the ground in the corner, cross-legged, gaze unfocused. She paid your state no mind as she marched over to the control panel. She typed in a code and the glass wall lifted temporarily, giving her enough time to slip in before closing behind her. She stared at you for a moment, struggling to think of where to start.

“You’re such a fucking idiot.” Guess that’s what she’s going with.

Your gaze lifted from the ground, your attention now on her. You remained silent at the statement, so she continued. “You managed to get yourself trapped in some...weird super speed prison. Right before my wedding too? What the fuck is wrong with you Y/n!? Oh! And don’t even get me started on you helping him out with his perfect proposal! Were neither one of you ever gonna tell me about that!? That’s so unfair!”

Wanda’s tone got progressively angrier, finally letting out everything she’s been holding in for so long. “I-I- I can’t fucking believe you’re so...so fucking selfish! You saved the world and all, fucking fantastic, but what about me!? What about me Y/n!? And yeah, I know that’s really what’s fucking selfish but I don’t care, cause you left me!”

She finished her rant, panting. She stared at you, your gaze still unmoving. She let out a harsh breath. “And look at you...you’re just this shell of yourself...and it’s been so fucking heartbreaking to see.” She let out a sigh, emotions finally catching up to her. “I miss you Y/n...I miss you so much...If I’m being completely honest, I’ve missed you since before you disappeared.” She admitted that for the first time out loud, and it suddenly made everything else so much clearer.

Your gaze remained unchanging. She sat down on the floor in front of you, and sighed. “Things haven’t been the same with us for a very long time...ever since I started seeing Vision. I see that now... I shouldn’t have turned you down. I never wanted to admit it to myself, but I always ask myself ‘what if?’. I shouldn’t be doing that if I’m marrying someone else, right?...and Kara. I could never figure out why I never really liked her. She’s really nice and sweet and you guys were really good together. She checked off all the boxes, but it never felt right...and I think I finally know why now...”

She looked back up into your eyes. Your expression hasn’t changed, but your gaze was more focused now as you looked straight into her eyes. She wasn’t sure if you were aware of what she was saying or not, but seeing you lock eyes with her gave her all the confidence she needed.

“I’m in love with you, Y/n.” Tears began pooling in her eyes. This was the first time she’s fully admitted that, and she just wants to kick herself for not doing it sooner because damn, it felt so right. You felt so right.

“God, I love you so fucking much.” Without thinking, she grabbed your face and pulled you in for a passionate kiss. The kiss had only lasted a moment before she realized what she was doing. She went to pull away from you, horrified at her own actions, but before she could, she felt your hand slowly come up the back of her neck.

You started to kiss her back.

This time, instead of pulling away in shame, she pulled away in shock. She looked into your eyes, and it was the first sign of real emotion you’ve shown the whole time you’ve been back. She saw nothing but love in your eyes. You gave her a small smile, but it was enough to light up her world.

Before she could say anything though, you were suddenly gone. Speeding out of the room, leaving a huge burst of lightning behind, shattering the glass on your way out. The force was enough to blow Wanda back, landing harshly on the opposite wall before falling to the ground. She looked up with wide eyes as she processed everything that happened.

“Shit.” She got up and moved to the control panel, going to hit the emergency button. Before she could though, you were suddenly back in front of her. You looked completely different. Your hair was fixed, you put on a normal outfit that wasn’t the prison one you were provided with, but most importantly...you looked like you again.

“Sorry for that, I just wanted to look better when I could finally do the thing I’ve wanted to do for years.” Wanda couldn’t get a word out, stunned into silence. She didn’t need to speak though, because not even a moment later, you walked up to her, grabbed her face gently and kissed her. She didn’t even hesitate to fall back into the kiss. Yeah, this was definitely right.

After a few moments, you two separated. Large smiles planted on your faces as you leaned your foreheads together. Wanda was the first to speak. “Since when can you move that fast?” She breathed out.

You shrugged. “I guess being stuck in a super speed prison helped with my super speed. Huh, who’d have thought.” Wanda smacked your arm at the joke, but was overall beyond relieved. “I just needed that ‘true love’s kiss’ to get me back.”

“Of course you did.” Wanda laughed, leaning into you again, “You’re such a cliché.”

“You love it though.”

“I love you.”

You smiled, a brighter smile than Wanda had ever seen you wear. “You have no idea how long I’ve wanted to hear you say that. I love you too, Wanda. I’ll love you till the day I die.” You leaned in for another kiss, this one somehow better than the last.

There was a lot you two needed to talk about, as well as make sure everything was okay with you physically, but you couldn’t bring yourself to care about all that at the moment.

You were lost for so long, even before the speed and mental prisons you were trapped in. Finally being in the arms of the woman you loved was everything.

You were finally found.
