As The World Caves In

ch. 6

"Listen, Raven what you did back there was heroic." Tony says. "You need to rest up and gain all your energy back."

Raven nodded as she took a seat on one of the couches.

"The blackbox is well handled by Maximoff and Bruce." Tony informs her. "Take your time and get better."

Raven looks toward the conference room seeing Wanda occupied with her computer.

"I feel helpless." Raven muttered, looking down at her feet.

"Don't." Tony insists. "What you did for Maximoff is such an avenger thing to do. Take a couple of days then get back to it. By the time you're all healed up, there's still more content waiting for you to be uncovered."

"I know I still have a lot to learn." Raven says. "Do you think you could help me train my powers to its full potential?"

"Already ahead of you." Tony chuckles. "I knew you would ask so I went ahead and did a monstrous amount of research on your powers."

"And?"

"You're one of a kind." Tony tells her. "The origin of your power came from an explosion."

"Explosion?"

"A surge of powerful energy I might add."

"Have you figured out who my parents are?"

"No, but if that's something you want me to find out for you I will try my best to crack it down."

"Thank you."

Raven gave Tony a warm smile before looking back toward Wanda. They lock eyes for a split second before the other woman resumes her work.

"You like her don't you." Tony says, teasing Raven.

Raven continues to stare at Wanda with a smile, solely focused on the busy woman.

"All I want to do is keep her safe." Raven mumbles under her breath.

"Then keep doing that." Tony says. "I mean so far you're already doing a fantastic job."

Raven laughs at Tony's remark, her eyes still locked toward Wanda.

"I almost forgot, Carol Danvers will be coming in to help in a few weeks or so."

"That's Captain Marvel correct?"

"Indeed." Tony answers. "She volunteered to help you guys with the blackbox and plus she's exceptional when it comes to combat."

Raven nodded, taking a sip of her water.

Wanda and Bruce spend their hours inside the conference room thoroughly decrypting the information the blackbox gives.

"Are you sure you don't want to take a break?" Bruce asks, taking off his glasses.

"No, I'm okay." Wanda says.

"Well, I'll stop right about here since the next percentage isn't until twelve hours from now." Bruce yawns, stretching his muscles. "Don't overwork yourself."

"I'm almost done here." Wanda says, not taking her eyes off of the screen.

Bruce gets up from his seat, making his way out of the room. Wanda continues to work alone, maintaining the momentum she's currently in.

For the past ten hours, Wanda acquired a handful of information on all of the buyers from Southeast Asia. All of them had some type of link to Tao and his clan.
