In the Avengers Tower Lab
Tony and Bruce were making improvements to the Iron Man suit, when suddenly the door fell to the ground with a loud exclamation from Tony who received a slap from a very much pissed off Black Widow.
"Hey! She yelled, slamming him against the wall. What the fuck were you thinking, Stark, insulting a seven-year-old girl like that? Just because you have money doesnt mean you can do that, you son of a bitch!
Natasha's scream was enough to make Tony stand there under her hold for a few moments, before realising what position he was in.
He quickly pried her hands off his neck.
What do you think you are doing, entering my lab and breaking my door, and touching me?
For a few seconds there was silence and the tension in the environment was almost palpable. Bruce was the one who broke that silence.
Natasha, you do know that the girl you defend has powers linked to her emotions. Shes uncontrollable, and we are just looking out for you? What happens if at some point she has a tantrum? Or, uh, gets mad at you through her teen years. You haven't thought about that, have you. Shes dangerous.
Natasha sighed, almost feeling bad for Bruce. He genuinely thought he was doing good for her and Steve.
Except, he took a quick sigh and began to raise his voice." That girl is capable of killing us all. She is so powerful that in a matter of a minute-no, a few seconds, she slaughtered a whole fleet of Hydra soldiers. How long until she kills us too, huh?
The statement left Steve and Natasha speechless, determined to defend Wanda with every ounce of energy they had.
Steve, who watched from the destroyed door frame, was the next to respond as he advanced forward.
"We can help her control her powers. We can train her and educate her. Taking a risk, he added on to his proposition.
We can give her the love that she has lost for the last seven years of her life and—
Wait what? Tony interrupted, "So you already fell in love with the little monster, didn't you?"
He doubted his thought for a second, but soon realised it was true and that the couple had become fond. The revelation made his insides burn with an inexplicable fury and he recriminated them.
"OH, look who it is." Tony smirked, pulling out his cell phone. "My social worker."
Natasha dropped her facade of bravery for a second, but quickly regained her composure with a knot in her stomach.
"Well what are you waiting for? Steve challenged, Why dont you reply?" Steve asked, and with a mocking smile Stark did.
"Hi Tyler, do you have the papers? Excellent!" He received a look of relief from Bruce. "Okay, I'll see you tomorrow in court."
Natasha and Steve were shocked at the mention of the court.
"Dont you worry, Tony continued with the man, Tyler, on the phone, Helen Cho said that the child wakes up tomorrow, we'll be there. Alright, bye.
When he hung up the call, he was greeted by a Natasha being held back by Steve, with all of his force, shouting curses at him, "Are you fucking kidding me, Stark? You had it all ready, and you didnt even have the decency to warn us, you son of a bitch!
Natasha, calm down, Tony laughed. Youre much prettier without your veins and eyeballs popping out of your head.
It took all of both Natasha and Steves wills not to snap Tonys necks right then and there.
Tony, Began Steve in a terrifyingly low tone of voice. "Do you want to explain to us why you want to get rid of the twins, please?"
"By God, Steve, is it not clear to you?!? Bruce exclaimed with annoyance, "The girl you want to defend is a bloody monster, it's a risk for the team. If we dont take those children away, sometime, even if way in the future, theyll attack us!
He took a breath and continued "Look Nat, I know that you can't have children of your own and that you want to adopt. Thats wonderful, but we can't let you have those children."
The room was left with a sad aura at the mention of the inability to have children of the Widow, who was shedding tears while processing the information, shaking with rage and shock all at once.
Unfortunately, Steve could not contain himself anymore, as he took the two geniuses by their respective shirts and slammed them to the wall with a thud, his own tears were immediate and he began to yell at them, blinded by rage.
"Listen to me, you idiots, those children are not going to leave and if we want to adopt them, it is not your damn problem, and you, He looked Tony straight in the eye, "Don't even think about insulting Wanda again, because if that's the case I myself will smash your face, did you hear me?
Tony couldn't help the deep fear that settled in his gut at the Captain's threat, but soon his fear was replaced by anger at the reason why the fight originated: Wanda.
You know that Cap, I don't give a damn, it's my compound and I make the decisions, but once I warn you, tomorrow in court they will give me custody of Wanda and Pietro, and when I have it they will be sent to a house safe in Scotland, very far from us, if you want, you can try to get a lawyer, but you are not going to win, so I recommend that you say goodbye to the brats and tomorrow. But for now, do not touch me again."
And with Tony's words, he and Bruce retired to their respective rooms, leaving an emotionally devastated Black Widow and a dismayed Captain America, both exchanging looks full of sadness, anger and hopelessness.
Steve took Natasha by the forearm gently and drew her into a hug.
" I promise you that everything will be okay. There is no way they will take them away from us, I can promise you that."
The two of them stood there, hugging once more, both stirring up the same plan; to call the best lawyer they knew. Pepper Potts.
To be continued...
