Marvel: I am Wanda's Apprentice.

Chapter 63: (The death of my father.)



Chapter sixty three:

It's been three months since I got back from Mjolnir and luckily for us I didn't have to use it. Fury decided that it was a good idea for us to take the kids Avengers headquarters to show them what the future could look like for them. Bruce Banner was staying behind to watch Luna. He never really liked the Avengers headquarters after Thanos the Mad Titan. I think it reminded him of Black Widow.

The bus journey was maybe a hour but my goodness was it loud. Wanda Maximoff and I sat at the front and Mary Jane Watson and Peter Parker in the middle of the bus and Monica Rambeau, Sam Wilson and Bucky Barnes was at the back. The kids were singing along to my playlist. Turns out they have pretty good music taste. I basically serenaded Wanda Maximoff the whole our making her blush and laugh. It was going to be strange going back but it held so many happy memories from when Wanda and I first met.

As we pulled up to the Avengers headquarters the sounds of impressions echoed throughout the bus. We let Peter Parker lead the tour of the Avengers headquarters so he could ramble on. Wanda Maximoff and I remained at the back.

"You know being here brings back so many flashbacks and memories from when we first met." I said.

"You were so clumsy. I'm pretty sure you kept bumping into me on purpose." Replied Wanda Maximoff.

"You wish Wanda. I was really just that clumsy. As smooth as I like to think I was in winning you over I was actually a complete mess. I mean I never thought in a million years that you'd like me." I said.

"I mean from our first date you were very smooth. You won me over with every passing second. I was so desperate to kiss you on our first date. No matter what happened or how bad the date was I probably would've gone for a kiss anyway." Replied Wanda Maximoff.

"You really were obsessed with me. I think you still are." I said.

"Maybe a little bit." Replied Wanda Maximoff.

"Thanks ok cause I'm extremely obsessed with you." I said.

The kids were in front of us so Wanda kissed me long and passionately on the lips.

"Do you miss it being here?" Replied Wanda Maximoff.

"Yes this is the first place I fell in love with you but no in fact that the memories we've built together since leaving have been everything I've ever dreamed of." I said.

"Me too. Come on we better go and save the kids before Peter rambles them to death." Replied Wanda Maximoff.

The kids all had a packed lunch so we all sat on the lawn and ate soaking in the sun. It really was a beautiful day. My phone then started to ring.

"Hey Jordan are you ok?" I said.

"You need to come home. It's dad he's in the hospital again. You need to get here now." Replied Jordan.

I just sat there in shock. "Babe come on I'll go and get the car. You grab the kids and let Sam and Monica know what's happening." Said Wanda Maximoff bringing me back into reality.

I just nodded at her and got up. Wanda Maximoff pulled up and we all got in. I was in no fit state to drive I was still in complete shock. Natasha and the boys were crying in the back. Wanda Maximoff put her foot down and tried to get us there as fast as she could. Cutting the usual time by half a hour we pulled up to the hospital and I went inside to find Jordan and Rio Vidal or my mother. Eventually Wanda Maximoff caught up with me and I was crying in Jordan's shoulder. Jordan just looked at Wanda and shook his head. Not my dad. He was such a good guy. Wanda Maximoff told herself that she wasn't going to get upset. She promised herself that she'd be there for me no matter what.

I then looked at Wanda Maximoff before holding her tightly and broke down in tears as Jordan comforted the kids. Wanda Maximoff sat in a chair and I held her while crying. We sit there for a hour before the doctor lets us say our goodbyes.

I clung onto Wanda Maximoff like my life depended on it. Rio Vidal or my mother went in to see him first with Jordan. I tried to compose myself for the kids.

"Ok so do you want to see him?" I said.

They all shook their heads no and I didn't blame them.

"Thanks ok. You should remember grandpa as you knew him. Not like this. We're going to be ok." I replied.

They all hugged me tightly as Natasha started to cry.

"You don't have to stop from crying Natasha. It's normal and it's good to let your emotions out ok?" Said Wanda Maximoff.

Natasha nodded and allowed herself to cry as Wanda Maximoff held her.

"Are you okay guys?" I asked the boys. They bit their lips before nodding.

"I know." I said before the boys started to cry. Jordan and Rio Vidal or my mother walked out trying to stay strong. Rio Vidal or my mother than took my hand and squeezed it. Ok Travis so what do you want to say. Wanda Maximoff then took my arm and we walked into his room. He looked so peaceful it was almost as if he was asleep.

"Hey dad I miss you already. Don't worry I will look after mom. I just wish I had more time with you. You know before you I never met a man that was kind and caring and accepting. You liked to say that your legacy was us kids and in a way it is but it's also your grandkids. The way we raised Tommy, Billy, and Pietro is based on everything you taught me and who you were as a person. If the boys turns out half the man you were then I'll be so happy. I don't know what else to say. You were the person I came to everything with. When Wanda fell pregnant with the twins I came straight to you to ask advice on how to raise them you told me to trust my gut and parent them the way I wish I was. When we got engaged you set me down and taught me to be an attentive and loving husband. I know we'll be ok without you because you taught me something new and now I have all this knowledge and understanding. There's a big part of me that is you and I'll carry you with me every day. I love you dad." I said trying not to cry.

Looking at Wanda Maximoff she was trying not to cry as well. He meant a lot to her as well. Wanda Maximoff wanted to say something I held her hand.

"When I came to you to ask for your permission to be with your son forever you were so supportive and welcomed me into your family with opened arms. I made you a promise to make your son feel loved every day and to make him happy. I hope I do and I'll try everyday to keep doing that. Thank you for being a wonderful grandpa to our kids. They have so many loving memories with you and they'll cherish you for the rest of their lives. We're all going to really miss you. I'll look after Travis I promise." Replied Wanda Maximoff.

We walked out of the room with holes in our hearts. Wanda Maximoff booked us a hotel to stay in. We had no clothes so Wanda took the kids shopping while I helped Rio Vidal or my mother with the funeral arrangements. There was so much to do. My phone then started to ring.

"Hey kid I just wanted to check in." Said Nick Fury.

"Yeah I'm ok. I don't know how long I'm going to be gone for. I'm sorry to leave you in the lurch I just had to be here." I replied.

"There's no rush. I'll keep a eye on things here just take your time." Said Nick Fury.

"Thank you." I replied before hanging up the phone.

A few orders later Wanda Maximoff had ordered take out for all of us. And Carol Danvers helped with the funeral arrangements.

"I know none of you want to eat but you have to." Said Wanda Maximoff while walking inside with Chinese food.

"Wanda is lucky to have you Travis." Replied Rio Vidal or my mother before she grabbed my hand.

We all then sat down and ate Chinese food in silence. I then looked at my father's empty chair with tears in my eyes.
