I've Always Liked To Play With Fire

"We're just gonna let them take it?"

Pietro looks at his twin sister, confused, as Tony Stark walks out out of the dark room with Loki's scepter.

Wanda smiles. "This will work out for us, Pietro. Stark is going to bring about his own downfall."

"Ah, you and your mind games Wands," the speedster smirks.

Wanda rolls her eyes at him, but still smiling. "Don't call me that, we're not 7."

She then turns to face her twin, her green eyes looking into his blue ones. "How did your fight go?"

Pietro, still smirking, confidently replies. "With the 'Avengers'?  They are slow. I made sure to distract them from you." He throws an arm around his sister's shoulder as they turn to walk away.

Wanda nods. She starts to then look around the room, nudging her twin's arm off her, growing concerned. "Piet, Where is Anni?"

They stop walking completely. The silver-haired boy crosses his arms, and mumbles his next sentence.

"I don't know, I couldn't find her."

Wanda whips her head around, red flashing in her eyes. "What do you mean, Pietro. What do you mean you couldn't find her?"

He runs a hand through his hair, and begins to pace, never being able to stand still. "Wands, I mean that I ran through the entire forest and city. I couldn't find her." His tone was serious, and the teen's face is screwed up in anger. "I think the Avengers- that Tony Stark  took her."

Wanda clenches her hands into fists, red wisps dancing around them. "I'm going to kill  Stark."

She and Pietro couldn't keep losing the people they love to that man. Wanda knew they could only handle so much.

"We always stick together, the three of us," she continues, tears welling up in her eyes.

A shaky sigh is let out of the other twin. He is angry too, and worried.

"...I know. Wanda- I'm angry and sad too, but we'll find her. We always find each other. We'll get her back from that man."

The twins move into a tight hug. After a moment, they break apart, looking at each other and immediately knowing that they must leave the base.

Wanda grabs her twin's hand.

"Let's go."

As Natasha, Bruce, Tony, and Thor are talking amongst themselves, Steve remains near the back of the small Quinjet, where the enhanced girl and Clint are on stretchers on either side of him. The girl has been sedated for safety reasons, but Steve still feels bad for the teen. After a few minutes, he turns to walk to the front.

Tony is looking at Thor. "It feels good, yeah? I mean, you've been after this thing since SHIELD collapsed. Not that I haven't enjoyed our little raiding parties, but..."

Thor nods. "No, but this...this brings it to a close."

"As soon as we find out what else it has been used for, and I don't just mean weapons," Steve says, gesturing towards the unconscious girl. "Since when was Strucker capable of human enhancement?"

Tony waves his hand and twirls in his chair. "Yeah, yeah Banner and I'll work with Dr. Cho to look at the girl," he twirls around to Thor,  "And then give the scepter a good once-over before it goes back to Asgard. Is that cool with you?"

Thor looks at Tony and nods again.

"I mean, just a few days until the farewell party. You're staying, right?"
