WAKANDA

Wanda didn't know what to do, Claire had been whimpering in pain for the last thirty minutes, Helen and Shuri not knowing what to do. They had tried everything to fix the pain but it didn't seem to be coming from the surgery and Claire was in too much pain to answer properly.

Nat and Yelena had started pacing, their younger sisters whimpers setting both sisters stir crazy not knowing how to help her. By now all of the avengers were in the room, Alexei holding Melina while silent tears rolled down his cheeks as he watched his daughter curl in on herself, holding her head and crying in pain.

Steve and Clint were trying to get Nat and Yelena to calm down, neither sister listening to their best friends as their baby sister lay on her bed in pain.

Tony and bruce were typing away on computers, Tony having FRIDAY do a quick full body scan of Claire to see if anything on the inside was wrong. Nothing was coming up and both men were getting frustrated. Helen and Shuri had tried pushing sedatives into her system, but after giving her the most they could and still having it be safe, Claire was still wide awake and in pain.

The rest of the group stood watching, T'Challa had gone to his healers to see if they could help at all. He had yet to return.

Wanda was sitting on the bed with Claire, rubbing her back and trying to get her to calm down and tell her what was hurting but it wasn't working. Claire was half curled up on Wandas lap, whimpering softly in pain. Wanda had a pained expression on her face, her eyes slightly bloodshot as Unshed tears sat in her eyes.

"Claire please tell me what hurts," Wanda begs quietly again only to be met with Claire's cries. She closes her eyes, trying to keep herself calm. If she got agitated she felt that Claire would only get more agitated.

Everyone had already tried to get Wanda to
look into Claire's mind to see what was wrong but Wanda was adamant on not breaking that trust with her.

By now, everyone could see how much Claire meant to Wanda. Their bond was the strongest and they all liked it. Claire and Wanda would be an amazing couple and they were all rooting for it.

All of a sudden, Claire's whimpering slowly ceased until its just her breathing heavily. All motion stops, Nat and Yelenas heads whipping up to look at their baby sister. Wanda looks down at Claire, eyes widening in hope that the pain had stopped and she would be able to see the face that made butterflies appear in her stomach. Even a glimpse of her emotionless face would be better than her hidden face that had soft whimpers escaping from Claire's lips.

Don't get her wrong, Wanda would help Claire through anything and she was beautiful to Wanda 24/7, but the pained face of Claire hurt Wanda's heart.

"Claire?" Wanda whispered quietly, stroking Claire's hair lightly. Her breath had evened out more, but Wanda could still feel Claire's heart beating somewhat rapidly and knew she was still awake.

"Claire?" Wanda asks again, a bit louder this time making Claire shift slightly but enough so that Wanda could see half of her face. Her eyes were half closed, tear stains on her cheeks, hair sticking to it. Wanda gently pulled the hair off of her face making Claire could close her eyes fully.

Her breathing had finally calmed down fully and the group realized she needed sleep, including Wanda. "Guys I think we should let her get some rest." Steve says quietly and the group nods, leaving the room.

Wanda, Melina, Alexei, Nat and Yelena stay, not wanting to leave Claire's side in case the pain returned as suddenly as it had come. Yelena sits gently on the end of the bed, Nat taking the chair next to the bed.

"Are you asleep Claire?" Yelena whispers quietly and a moment later Claire's head shakes slightly.

"How are you feeling?" Nat asks, a sense of urgency in her voice as she just wanted to know how her sister was feeling.

"Better than I was." Claire croaks, her voice tired and dry. Her eyes remained closed as she shifts slightly in Wandas lap and getting herself more comfortable. "You're comfortable." Claire mumbles so quietly Wanda thinks she misheard.

She looks down at Claire before looking up at Nat and Yelena who had smiles on their faces and were looking back at Wanda.

Well I guess she didn't mishear.

A soft smile appears on Wandas face as she leans back against the headboard. "Get some sleep Claire." Wanda says softly and Claire snuggles deeper into Wanda before finally falling fast asleep.

RED ROOM

Madame B smirked as she turned the pain level down on the controller. She only had the pain level on five and for thirty minutes. Until Sarah found Claire, she would toy with her.

Even if the chip had been removed, her neurons were still programmed to the controller. They had put that as a precaution when they had first implanted the chip into her brain as she was the best of the best in the red room. It was also the reason Madame B hadn't issued the kill order on Claire yet.

Claire was their master weapon.

Sarah walked into the room, hands held behind her back, head held high. "You wanted to see me ma'am?" Sarah asks and Madame B nods.

"You're going earlier. Are you ready?"

"Yes Madame."

"Good. Mission briefing tomorrow morning." Sarah nods once before turning around and leaving. Madame B's lips turned up into a tight lipped evil smile. Claire was going to be the red rooms again, and she would stop at nothing until she got her.
