For a child who lost her parents at a young age and grew up struggling amidst war and chaos, what she craved most and was most likely to fall for was warmth and care.
Isn't it normal to fall for a mature and capable man who can give her happiness, give her hope, pull her out of the quagmire of life, and make her dare to look forward to the future?
Especially when this man is also young and handsome!
That kind of person who is clearly young, almost like a peer, yet possesses the maturity and capability of a Father.
This ambiguous feeling of both Father and friend made the budding Wanda, who was living a difficult life, immediately fall for him.
Samuel often left Sokovia and only stayed for a few days occasionally. Every time he left, he would generously leave her 'high' living expenses, which caused Wanda, who had an inferiority complex about her background, to have a Distortion in her feelings for him.
She defined Samuel's identity with a very strange title.
Sugar Daddy!
With this identity as a foundation, Wanda, who had always restrained her emotions, dared to interact and get close to Samuel boldly, or rather, with confidence.
Although their relationship so far is at most going silent, in Wanda's heart, Samuel is the closest person to her besides Pietro.
Samuel knew Wanda's thoughts but had never made it clear, nor did he intend to change it.
As for the reason.
On one hand, calling him a Sugar Daddy is not wrong, after all, he has been providing Wanda with financial assistance.
On the other hand, it's Wanda's mental state.
Whether it's because of her life experiences or the subtle influence of Chaos Magic in the dark, Wanda's unstable mental state is certain.
If their relationship was like Wanda and Vision in the movie, Samuel would truly worry about Wanda going a little crazy out of jealousy and making all the Mutants in the World disappear, no, making all the women in the World disappear.
Aquaman and scumbags fear encountering this type of girl the most, because you don't know what she might do.
So Samuel was happy to see the identity Wanda created for herself. At the very least, putting aside emotions and facts, the preconceived identity can reduce a lot of the pain that comes with another identity, and it can also reduce a lot of potential trouble for himself.
This is human nature, isn't it? Always considering the side that is beneficial to oneself!
For Wanda, it was also like this!
She also knew that the possibility of her formally dating Samuel was very small, and she didn't want to stop at the relationship of ordinary friends, so she chose the identity relationship that was most beneficial to her.
"Why did you take so long to come this time? Are you very busy with work? Oh, right, how long can you stay this time?" Wanda looked up, looking at Samuel expectantly.
Samuel said with a smile, "I have a lot of things to deal with, and I'm indeed a bit busy, but this time I should be able to stay here for a longer period."
"Really? That's great!" Wanda was so excited she beamed with joy.
Samuel asked with a smile, "Why did you suddenly come here alone? Where's Pietro?"
"He's busy with the resistance. The number of people on the other side has increased quite a bit recently, and many of our members have been captured."
"I haven't been here for a long time because of that. I happened to be free today, so I came here to clean up so it wouldn't be too dirty for you to live in when you come back."
"Then you're late."
As soon as Wanda finished speaking, she heard a woman's voice say mockingly.
At the entrance of the castle, Skye, who had taken off her coat and was only wearing a T-shirt, had slight beads of sweat on her face. She held a rag in her hand and looked at Samuel and Wanda with a gossipy expression.
"You are?" Wanda looked at Skye somewhat nervously.
"My name is Skye."
"Wanda, Wanda Maximoff."
Samuel put his arm around Wanda and introduced with a smile, "Skye is the same age as you, and her experience is similar to yours. She grew up in an orphanage and has been wandering the streets since leaving the orphanage. I believe you will become good friends."
Saying that, he pointed to Peggy Carter, who had come out upon hearing the commotion: "Her name is Peggy Carter, but her identity is a bit special. Have you heard of Captain America? She's like a female version of the Captain!"
"I was going to talk about it later, but since Wanda is here, I'll talk about this mission!"
"The fundamental reason for the constant warfare in Sokovia is that a leader of HYDRA has taken a liking to this place. They have established a secret Base here and have been secretly fanning the flames and playing both sides in recent years."
"Whoever is weak, they secretly support them. The purpose is to keep this place in constant war."
"It can be said that most of the weapons and military supplies for both sides are provided by them, including... the missile that killed your parents and left you with mental trauma."
Samuel patted Wanda's shoulder.
The anger and hatred on Wanda's face were undisguised: "You, are you sure? Was it really the weapons provided by that HYDRA?"
Samuel said, "I don't want to make excuses for Tony Stark. The weapons were indeed produced and sold by Stark Industries, but without HYDRA, the war here would not have lasted this long, nor would it have been on such a large scale."
"Small-scale warfare doesn't use missiles, let alone missiles from Stark Industries, which aren't cheap!"
"Also, Stark Industries' arms business was originally handled by their president, Obadiah. Tony Stark was only responsible for developing weapons and creating tabloid news."
Wanda was silent.
...
She had always regarded Tony Stark as her enemy, but now she was being told that Tony Stark could at most rank in the top three, and the real enemy was Obadiah, who sold weapons and caused the internal conflict through HYDRA?
"I will help you get revenge!"
"Whether it's HYDRA, or the already dead Obadiah, or Tony Stark!"
Samuel pulled Wanda into his arms and said softly and firmly.
Wanda hummed and forced a smile: "That Obadiah is already dead?"
"Killed by Tony Stark. If you want to know, I'll tell you what happened slowly later."
"Okay."
Wanda nodded. Although she was a bit reluctant, she was too embarrassed to continue leaning in Samuel's arms in front of others.
"HYDRA—I didn't expect to change places, and the opponent is still them!"
The old opponent made Peggy Carter feel a bit motivated. Since she couldn't eliminate them in the original World, then she would eliminate them in the current World!
"Who is the leader of HYDRA?" Peggy Carter asked Samuel eagerly.
"Baron Strucker."
Peggy Carter shook her head unfamiliarity: "I haven't heard that name, but it doesn't matter, I will find him."
"Not you, but you all!"
Samuel shook his head, his gaze sweeping over each of them.
Super Soldier Peggy Carter, Scarlet Witch Wanda, Shockwave Girl Skye, tsk tsk tsk, with such a lineup, I really don't know how long Baron Strucker can last!
