"Funny how you think that hurt." I said after he landed a punch straight on my jaw. I effortlessly wrapped my legs around his waist and flipped him over, landing a punch straight to his nose causing it to break. I quickly got up and ran over to Wanda while he whined in pain on the floor.

"Are you okay?" I asked as I held her face in my hands.

"Yeah, yeah I'm fine. But Y/n it's not him you should be worried about." she said as if somehow knowing another person was going to walk in on que. 

"What are you doing on the floor?!" the figure asked angrily at my uncle who was still on the floor have a fit over his broken nose. Their voice wasn't natural though, it was distorted as if they were talking through a voice modifier. I couldn't tell if it was a woman or a man due to the mask covering their face. Their figure was hidden by their baggy clothes so I couldn't use that to figure it out so I stopped trying. 

I didn't ask questions, instead I readied myself in a fighting position and waited for one of them to make a move. But the figure just looked at me. After a couple of seconds they slowly walked towards me. I kept my guard up, making sure I stood right in front of Wanda.

"How cute. You're defending her." the distorted voice said as they moved closer, stopping only centimeters away from me. They weren't that much taller than me but it still felt as though they towered over me. "Why do you care for her so much?"

"That's none of your business," I answered. "point is, you can't have her."

"Oh, I don't want her." they said with a small chuckle at the end.

"Then you'll have no problem with me taking her." I said.

"Actually, yes. I do have a problem with that. See now that you're here I couldn't care less about what happens to her. But the whole reason I took her in the first place was to get you here and I can't have you just running off with her."

"But you'll let her leave if I stay?" I asked.

"What?! No, y/-"

"Shut it!" they cut her off. "I'm listening."

"You let her go and I'll stay and you can do whatever it is you want to do with me." 

"Mhm," they paused. "I don't believe you."

"Good." I said with a smirk even though they couldn't see it. I forced my elbow up, jabbing them right in the throat causing them to stumble back a bit. But they quickly regenerated and grabbed me by the arm, effortlessly tossing me across the room.

"Y/N!" Wanda shouted.

I shook the dizziness off and stood up clutching at my abdomen. I pulled a pistol out of my belt and aimed it at the figure, I fired it once. They dodged it. I fired it a second time. It clipped their shoulder. I fired it a third time. They caught it.

"What the fuck?" I mumbled.

"Surprised?" they chuckled before lunging at me. I quickly moved out of the way and they hit the wall. My uncle came up behind me and grabbed me from behind trying to drop me to the floor but I reversed it and flipped him over me instead. He knocked his head on the concrete floor and slipped into unconsciousness. Before I realized the figure lunged at me again and held me against the wall. They raised their fist to land a punch and I readied myself for impact but instead their grip on me was gone.

I opened my eyes to see Wanda landing a punch in their kidney causing them to double back in pain. 

"How did you-"

"The first bullet cut the strap around my arm." she cut me off. Suddenly something lodged into my thigh causing spikes of pain to travel through my leg and up to abdomen. 

"Ah! Mother fucker!" I shrieked in pain as I doubled over. Wanda caught me before I hit the ground and gently moved me down. Her face lit up red as she glanced down at the blood pouring out of my wound. She stood up and raced towards the other person, pinning them against the wall and slamming their head back so hard it knocked off the mask.

I was speechless. Their face wasn't even recognizable, it was scarred from what looked like burns and bullets. Wanda didn't seem to have much of a reaction to it as she landed a punch on their jaw causing them to go crashing down into unconsciousness. She breathed heavily as she looked down at the unconscious body and then at me. She smiled softly before collapsing herself.

"Wanda!" I yelled and against my body's wishes I forced myself up. Pulling the knife out of my thigh as I limped over to her. "Wanda!" I called trying to wake her up but she didn't budge. I watched her chest to see it moving up and down indicating she was still in fact breathing. "Thank god." I sighed in relief.

As I bent down to pick her up, a loud crashing noise stopped me and 3 individuals entered the  cellar. 

"Y/N! Jesus Christ!" Tony exclaimed as he looked around the room.

"What were you thinking?!" Natasha yelled at me.

"I wasn't." I said. "I wasn't thinking. But I don't regret it either. You guys knew where she was and you expected me to just sit on the sidelines."

"We're sorry, we just didn't want you to get hurt more then you already are." Steve explained. 

"Speaking of which," Natasha said and moved over to Wanda and I on the floor. She reached over to check Wanda's pulse and let out a breath of relief. 

"You guys seemed to handle yourselves well." Tony said as he looked over at the person with the scarred face.

"Up till a point." I said and looked over at Wanda. "She just passed out."

"Well, we should get out of here and get you both checked out." Steve said as he picked Wanda up bridal style. "The cops will handle them."
