✔️The Summer Soldier ||Bucky Barnes||

23

Harley walked over to the gym equipment first, deciding if she should do a workout or just get right into controlling her powers.

"Bad idea." Bucky said, pointing to the equipment Harley was looking at. "You want to hurt yourself more?" He continued, laughing a little bit.

Harley playfully rolled her eyes at him and sat down on the weight bench. "Buck, put a water bottle on the floor so I can see if I could lift it." She said, pointing to the mini-fridge full of water.

Bucky nodded and went to the fridge, taking out a water bottle and placing it in the middle of the floor. "Ok go ahead."

Harley stared at the water bottle, making that the only thing on her mind. Putting out her good arm, she tried to lift the bottle.

"Come on.." she said to herself, getting frustrated that nothing was happening. She could see the blue glow that she usually has when using her powers around her hand but watched as the color changed with her emotions.

The baby blue glow turned to a purple color, then to a bright red. Ignoring the color change, Harley put her focus back on the water bottle.

"Why isn't it doing anything?!" She said, becoming more frustrated.

That's when something finally happened. Something.. new. Instead of the bottle levitating into the air like it normally would, the bottle melted away.

Bucky and Harley stood there for a second, looking at the bottle in shock then at each other. "What the hell, since when could you do that..?" Bucky asked.

"There you two are! What's with the looks and why does it smell like something burning?" Nat said as she went into the training room.

Harley looked down at her hands and then back up to nat and Bucky. "My eyes. What color are my eyes right now." She asked.

"Br- they're.. red?" Nat said in shock, "why are they red?"

Harley walked out of the training room and went to the others, Nat and Bucky following behind.

"Guys I think I unlocked a new power or something." She said, pointing to her eyes and looking at everyone. "Tony, when the heck is Bruce going to be back."

Tony shook his head. "No clue. He went offline to insure he could completely find his cool. What is up with your eyes?"

Harley sighed. "That's why I need Bruce. Either Cho did something to me or this is another hydra thing."

"Relax my misguardian lady friend, I'm sure it's just one of your powers coming through." Thor said, patting Harley on the shoulder. "Now, I must return to Asgard, there have been many wars and my help is needed."

"So your just leaving us?" Clint asked, waving his arms.

"Yes, I believe so. I shall return!" Thor said, flying out of the compound and to wherever he was talking about.

Tony sighed and looked at everyone. "Well, now two of the avengers are missing and one is hurt. Let's hope we don't get into trouble anytime soon." He said.

"Yeah great, but can we figure out what's wrong with me now?" Harley said, showing her hand and the glow around it.

She looked at her hand too, seeing the glow was back to the baby blue color. "Ok, you know what, I'm just going to get some fresh air. I'll be back." She said, leaving the room and going outside.

"Should we follow her?" Nat asked, looking at everyone confused.

Wanda shook her head. "No, I'll go. The same thing happened to me when the hydra gave me my powers." She said, standing from her seat and heading to the door.

Harley sat on the grass, looking ahead of her at the view from the compound. It wasn't anything special, but it was relaxing.

"So, you figured out the emotional switch on your powers huh." Wanda said, sitting down beside Harley.

Harley nodded and looked at her hands. "I didn't mean to. I was getting so frustrated and it turned red and melted the bottle. I mean, it's cool but scary that I have that much power."

Wanda smiled and looked at Harley, "which also means your unbeatable. All you have to do is get total control of your powers." She said, nudging Harley's arm. "I have the most control over mine and I'm doing pretty good."

Harley smiled and held out her hands, showing Wanda her powers. Mostly the glow.

"So how exactly do I fix this issue? I want to be in total control of them." Harley asked as she looked back over to Wanda.

Wanda smiled and stood up, bringing Harley up with her. "First you have to get yourself as calm as possible. Stress never helps." She said, taking deeps breaths from Harley to eventually join in too.

Taking the hint, Harley nodded her head and took deep breaths while shutting her eyes.

"Ok good. Now, when your angry or frustrated, your glow seemed to turn a red color right? That's normal. I used to be so angry all the time that mine is permanently red. Since your normal color is blue, it was either your starting color or your sadness color."

Harley nodded. "I mean I haven't been here long enough for my color to be set yet, right?" She asked.

Wanda nodded. "Well, we don't know how long hydras had you running around. Seeing your control over your powers, it couldn't have been longer if they ever used you before." She said, laughing a little bit.

Harley laughed too, nudging Wanda's arm. "Your such an ass." She joked.

"Ok ok. Now, notice how your glow is yellow, that's happiness or joy. It's not very common during battle because it is never really happy in a fight." Wanda pointed out the yellow glow in Harley's eyes and around her hands.

"For me, green was pain and purple was fear. Hydra did that with anyone who they gave powers like ours, which weren't many people. Your the only other person I know with powers like this now that I think of it."

"Well, at least we have each other to look to for help since we each have a little experience with it.. one more than the other." Harley said with a small smile.

"Wait but we aren't done here just yet." Wanda said, stopping Harley from leaving just yet.
