Ch 5: Three Days

No smut warning in this one. Next one there will be :)

I woke up to the sound of Nat at my door. She let herself in and sat down comfortably on the edge of my bed. "Hey sleepyhead, you missed breakfast.." she handed me a muffin.

"Oh," I sat up, groggy and confused. "I must have slept through the alarm," I noted, looking at my phone.

"That's ok. Wanda is waiting in the lab with Shuri when you're ready." She gave me a kind smile. I smiled back. More tests. Like a lab rat.

"You're not a rat," Natasha laughed. "You're a human going through something strange. We'll figure it out."

I laughed as well, "Ok. I am going to get up." I said, finishing my muffin and moving the bedding. I got up and around, brushing my hair and teeth; I changed into some leggings and a t-shirt. I slid on my sneakers and sighed. "Alright. I'm ready." I noticed Natasha was looking at her phone, confused. "Everything ok?" I asked observantly.

"Yeah, just a message from Tony I don't understand." She rolled her eyes and placed her phone in her pocket.

I bet it's about Thor's mission to observe Bucky. I scoffed at my own thought.

"No it's about something else," Nat replied, smiling softly.

"I really need to get this fixed," I groaned.

We reached the lab in time to run into Thor wandering out of the wing. "Ladies," he nodded his head in politeness, but continued walking without stopping. I blushed.

I counted his steps as he walked away, hoping it would keep me from projecting any thought I might have.

We entered the main area and saw Shuri in another room, through the glass. She waved at us to come to her. We walked together to the room and sat down in the chairs provided.

"So I was up...all night," she began, looking somewhat exhausted but excited at the same time. "I have some ideas and Wanda volunteered to be like..."

"The control group," Wanda interjected. I jumped at her voice, not realizing she had been in the room.

"So I am the experimental group?" I said, a little nervous.

"Yes, but you knew that already." Shuri rolled her eyes and continued. "I have some tests I have already started with Wanda and would like to conduct with you, to see the difference in the firing of neurons, etc."

"Ok..." I stared at her.

"Basically we're going to compare her brain activity to yours, since she's the closest example of someone who can use your same powers." She shrugged her shoulders. "It's another place to start.." she sighed.

I don't want to be compared to Wanda. I do that myself enough. As soon as I thought it, I regretted it; I didn't need Wanda and Nat to go on their 'you're beautiful as you are' crusade. But nobody responded. Either I was being ignored or I hadn't projected.

After about 15 minutes of setting up, a few projections, and some frustration, we were ready to start the first test.

Shuri had created a slideshow of different scenes, people, and words. Each of them had a purpose, according to her, and could hopefully help her figure out triggers or stressors within me and Wanda. Wanda had already completed hers.

"Ready?" Shuri asked. "Remember, some of these may be...upsetting or emotionally jarring. So let me or Nat know if we need to stop."

Nat was beside me in the room, whereas Wanda and Shuri were on the other side of the glass, next to the computer.
