CHAPTER EIGHT - avengers
☆
SUMMER OF 2015. Dr. List and Strucker had started to let the twins and Talia roam around the HYDRA base. But now they were currently under attack but the Avengers. Strucker was getting angry, "Deploy the rest of the tanks" he ordered. The soldier nodded, "Yes, sir," he said and walked away. Strucker walked over to Dr. List, "Concentrate fire on the weak ones. A hit can make them close ranks. Everything we've accomplished. But we're on the verge of our greatest breakthrough" he explained. Wanda, Pietro, and Talia stood in the corner in the same room as them. Dr. List looked at him, "Then let's show them what we've accomplished. Send out the twins and our Talia" he said.
Talia heard everything they were saying and their thoughts. Dr. List knew Talia was ready but wouldn't send her out because he didn't want her to get hurt. Strucker shook his head, "It's too soon" he said. Talia grabbed ahold of Pietros hand. He looked down at her and gave her hand a gentle squeeze. Dr. List shook his head, "It's what they signed up for" he whispered. Strucker wasn't having any of it, "My men can hold them," he said. Pietro let go of Talia's hand and put his hand on her back. Talia reached her hand out and grabbed Wanda's hand. Strucker wasn't going to give up, "We will not yield! The Americans sent their circus freaks to test us. We will send them back, in bags. No Surrender!" He yelled. The soldiers cheered, "No Surrender!" They repeated.
Talia looked at Pietro and Wanda, "It's time we fight," she said in their heads. Wanda and Pietro looked at the fifteen-year-old and nodded. Wanda was about to walk off but stopped. Pietro had his hands on Talia's waist and she held his arms. He looked at her, "Don't hurt yourself," he said. Talia nodded while looking at him, "Don't get yourself killed," she said. He smirked at her, then he kissed her forehead. Talia looked at Wanda, she had her hand held out. Talia let go of Pietro and walked over to Wanda and grabbed her hand. Wanda led Talia through the halls as they followed Strucker as he fled. Wanda and Talia hid in the darkness of another hallway as they watched the interaction between Captain America and Strucker, "Baron Strucker. Hydra's number one thug" Steve said. Strucker looked at him and turned them around, "Technically, I'm a thug for SHIELD," he said.
Steve's back was facing Talia and Wanda, "Well then technically you're unemployed. Where's Loki's scepter?" Steve asked. Strucker nodded, "Don't worry, I know when I'm beat. You'll mention how I cooperated, I hope" he said. Talia and Wanda started to creep out of the dark hallway, while their eyes glowed red and orange. Strucker noticed them, Talia put her hand up to her head-turning them invisible to the eye, "I'll put it right under illegal human experimentation. How many are there?" Steve asked. Talia stopped the illusion then Wanda knocked Steve down the stairs using her telekinetic powers then they both quickly left as Talia closed the doors with her telekinetic powers. Steve looked at them, "We have two other enhanced. Both Female. Do not engage" he said into his earpiece.
Wanda and Talia then started to follow Tony Stark. Both of the women hated the man to death. The two girls slowly walked behind Tony, "Thor, I got eyes on the prize," he said. Wanda was first, she used her powers to develop the image in Tony's head. Her hand lit up red and then went into Tony's head. Talia was second, making the image seem real and the emotional trauma that went along with it. Her hand lit up orange and then went into Tony's head. Tony's eyes turned a reddish-orange color as Wanda and Talia walked off into a dark corner. Tony's eyes return back to normal. Talia and Wanda watched in shock as Tony's imagination took over. Wanda and Talia blinked and their eyes went back to normal.
Tony looked around trying to reassure himself that he was imagining it. He held out his hand and a part of his suit attached to his hand. Talia sensed that Pietro was about to run up on Tony. Talia put her hand out and stopped Pietro from doing anything, "We're just gonna let them take it?" he asked. Talia and Wanda looked at each other, then back at Tony, and smiled.
The Avengers got back to the tower. Maria Hill walked up to the ship and into the ship, "Lab's all set up, boss," she said to Tony. Tony turned around in the chair he was sitting in, "Uh, actually, he's the boss. I just pay for everything, design everything, and make everyone look cooler" he said. Steve got up, "What's the word on Strucker?" he asked walking over to Hill. She held her tablet in hand, "NATO's got him," she said. Steve looked at her, "The three enhanced?" he asked. Hill pulled a video of the twins and handed it to Steve, "Wanda and Pietro Maximoff. Twins. Orphaned at ten when a shell collapsed their apartment building. Sokovia's had a rough history. It's nowhere special but it's on the way to everywhere special" Hill explained as Steve and she walked off of the ship. Steve flipped through their files, "Their abilities?" she asked. Hill leads him through the building, "He's got increased metabolism and improved thermal homeostasis. Her thing is neural electric interfacing, telekinesis, mental manipulation" she explained. Steve stopped and looked at her funny, "He's fast and she's weird," she said.
Steve thought about the other one, "What about the other girl?" he asked. Hill took the tablet from him and switched it to Talia's file. Then she handed it back to him, "Talia Kyle, she went missing almost a year ago from Queens. Most likely they kidnapped her for their experimentation, and it worked. The thing inside her, Strucker called 'The Phoenix Force.' I think you may just want to read what she can do later because there is a lot and I don't feel like listing off all of them. She's more powerful than the other two" she explained. The elevator opened, "Well, they're going to show up again," Steve said handing the tablet back to Maria. She nodded as Steve got into the elevator, "Agreed. The file says the twins volunteered for Strucker's experiments. It's nuts" she said. Steve pressed the button in the elevator, "Right. What kind of monster would let a German scientist experiment on them to protect their country?" he asked. Maria got a little sassy, "We're not at war, Captain," she said. Steve looked at her, "They are," he said as the doors closed.
Steve walked through the building and up the stairs, finding himself more interested in the youngest girl. She looked familiar. Steve walked over to Natasha, "Nat," he said. Natasha walked over to him and looked at his hands with the tablet in them, "yeah?" she asked. Steve showed her the video of Talia, "does she look familiar to you?" he asked. Natasha grabbed the tablet from him, "you go, I'll see what I can find out" she said. Steve nodded at her and walked away. Natasha looked at Talia's files, all the trials she went through, "you poor girl" she said. Natasha watched the girl's videos after successful experiments. Natasha finally looked at the name and gasped, "oh my god... Talia?" she muttered.
