My Safe Haven

Chapter 12: Suicide Mission (Part 2)

× Suicide Mission (Part 2): Transformation of the Scarlet Witch ×

3rd Person POV:

And there she was...

Floating in all her glory. The Scarlet Witch has now been born. No one, including herself would thought that she could turn into what she is now. All of her pain and her sorrow has turned her into so much more than just a mutant human being that was created by Hydra.

Steve was just there, looking at her. While Yelena was wrapped on his arms. Yelena finally woke up and saw Wanda floating in the air.

"A costume change?" she weakly commented, not being able to comprehend was she's looking at.

"I think it's more than that." Steve responded and helped her stand up.

Wanda finally landed herself to the ground. Feeling even more fierce and strong. She now knows what to do.

To make this mission a success.

"Are you sure about this?" Steve asked Yelena.

"Yes. But it's gonna be risky." Yelena responded.

"As long as we're able to do this successfully." Wanda said.

They are now about to start their new plan. They have to make sure that they free Melina from her brainwash so they can make sure that the next step will go through smoothly.

Meanwhile, Tony and Vision were at the engine section. They were trying to find a way to fly the Red Room's ship where there's no one on the ground to avoid casualties.

"FRIDAY, are you able to get into their systems?" Tony asked, inserting a drive on their computer.

"Let me try." FRIDAY responded.

"I'll check if I can burn down their firewall so we can get an easier access." Vision suggested.

"Guys! Rhodes and Hill are not responding." Clint alerted everyone.

"Check the bottom bunk to see if they're okay." Steve ordered him.

"Copy that."

Clint made his way to Maria and Rhody's location. While Steve, Wanda and Yelena were now at Melina's lab but she was nowhere to be found. Suddenly, Wanda darted her hands behind her and gripped on Melina who was holding a gun.

Melina was stunned and was having a hard time breathing over Wanda's grip. She then controlled her by levitating her from the ground and made her closer to them.

"Don't worry. I'm here to help." Wanda said.

"You don't have to." Melina replied. "I was never manipulated. I never took the serum myself because I know how this could destroy one's brain and heart. I just never had the choice to escape so I had to follow his orders. Even if I wanted to do something, I was too far gone." she added.

Wanda let go of her, Melina tried to catch her breath and when she did, she grabbed a ladder and opened a compartment in her lab revealing some other type of serum. Which looked different versus her mind control serum.

"Don't tell me that is--"

"Yes. An antidote to the serum. I was hoping that one day we will be able to put a stop on this and I think that today's the day." Melina told Yelena.

"How can I be sure that we can trust you?" Steve questioned.

"You can't. You just have to do it. I created these with hope that one day, Dreykov will meet his end." she responded.
