Red Whispers || Wanda Maximoff X Reader

Chapter 9 || Rumlow

Your POV

I sit in the main room after a much needed shower, watching television when a tall man bursts through the door.

He has an eyepatch and clearly means business. When he spots me on the couch, his eyebrow quirks upwards with a tilt of his head before Tony enters, noticing the extra presence.

"Nick Fury, what an unpleasant surprise at 12 in the afternoon, here to ruin my good mood I presume?"

The tall man, I am guessing is Fury smiles while patting Tony on the shoulder,

"Just here to greet your newest recruit. Y/N Stark, it's a pleasure to finally meet you alive and well."

He extends a hand for me to shake which I cautiously do, nearly 100% positive this man is up to something. I just can't think of what it could possibly be.

"You as well."

With a smile and a nod, he gestures for Tony and I to follow him into the meeting room. Tony tells Friday to gather up the others to which they arrive in just a few minutes. Fury stands at the head of the long table with a file in his hands.

"Alright Fury, class is in session. What do you want." Tony's tone is clearly suspicious. When his eyes flicker to mine I can only tell that he has an idea that whatever Fury is about to say involves me.

"Thank you for asking Tony. Due to your newest recruit and how you managed to obtain her and regain her memories, thank you for the updates Tony by the way, you have pissed off a few people."

Everyone looks around and I notice Wanda staring at me. When I look back, she instantly turns away and focuses her attention back on Fury.

"My first guess is Hydra, they're mad we took their pet." Natasha speaks up and I scoff, glancing over at her from across the table, "I was no pet Romanoff."

"They kept you in a cage and fed you when they felt like it, only letting you out to play to train you. You were their pet, acceptance is the first step to recovery Stark." She fires back with a smug grin. I roll my eyes with a short laugh, noticing that Clint and Tony also seem amused at the banter between us.

"Thank you for the entertainment Romanoff, and yes, Hydra is definitely upset. And they're on the hunt."

"So we have to get them off Y/N's scent." Steve finally speaks up with his serious-captain-like tone.

"Why is it so important that they get me back?" I know that Lascombe was planning to use me for something but I was never fully sure of what it was. He never really told me. He would always just say the same as Strucker did, that I was special, that I was their greatest gift. Back then I used to think it was a compliment. Now I just realize that it was them telling me I was their greatest weapon to use, and they weren't done upgrading me to what they wanted.

"You're their key."

"Key to what, exactly?" So Wanda is choosing to speak instead of sitting in angry silence.

Fury looks over at her and smiles, "Well since their plan with you and your speedy brother didn't quite go as planned, they want their biggest weapon back."

I instantly stiffen hearing him bring up Pietro, I can feel my fists clenching and my jaw tighten. I force myself to stay calm so I don't scare anyone but I think Wanda already has that covered. The topic of her late brother immediately causes her eyes to turn red in anger.

"His name was Pietro."

Steve places a gentle and calming hand on her shoulder to pull her back. She looks down at her hands with a muttered apology and starts playing with her rings, something I have noticed she does when she's stressed or anxious. I almost want to say something to her but I figure now isn't the time given our argument earlier this morning. So I change pace.
