The Other Sister [1] [EDITED]

Chapter Twenty

Edited: 12/6/23

Claire stilled instantly. Daughter? There's no way she could be his daughter as she had been told her real parents were dead. Or was that another lie that Melina and Alexei had told her?

"What?" She manages to choke out and the burly man grabs a chair, sitting down on it in front of her so he was at her height.

"I am your biological father Claire. Your mother died five years ago but we never stopped looking for you. We aren't with the red room, in fact we are very much against them."

"Then why kidnap me?" She asks coldly and the man in front of her sighs.

"There was no other way. We've been tracking you for a long time. Ever since you were ten and we found out you were still alive. Your mother and I created this entire organization. We take down the red room and our main goal was finding you. We knew we couldn't get you while you were still with the red room but we would be able to once you were out of the brainwashing and with the avengers."

"So why not just show up at the avengers compound and meet me there? Why go through all this trouble."

"Because the avengers would never give you up Claire. Natasha and Yelena, they wouldnt give you up for anything."

"Because they're my sisters!"

"No!" He shouts, standing up. "They are not your sisters! They are not biologically your family, I am! Don't you see, everything I've done, everyone I've killed was to find you. Was to get you back to me." Claire watches him in horror, knowing something was going to come. This man wasn't her father. Melina and Alexei were her parents. This man may be biologically hers, but it didn't make him a father.

"What are you going to do to me?" He turns back around, letting out a large breath before walking forward and stroking her face. Claire tries to strain away from his touch but to no avail.

"Darling I'm going to make you better. I'm going to make you more powerful than anyone else in the universe. Then you will help me take over the world and rule by my side."

"I will do no such thing!" Claire shouts, struggling against the restraints. The man sighs, standing up straight and turns towards the guards.

"Start it." Immediately they start flipping switched and then Claire realized all the tubes that were sticking out of her arms. A black fluid started running towards her veins and she started struggling even more. The moment the fluid touched her body she let out a gut wrenching scream. Her body convulsed, spazzing in the chair she was tied to. The man stood, watching his daughter convulse in pain, a cruel smile on his face. No he wasn't a good father, but he sure as hell would be a good ruler. He didn't care what he had to do as long as he got his daughter on his side. Even if it meant brainwashing her.

AVENGERS COMPOUND (8 weeks later)

Zero sightings of Claire. Zero sightings of Carol. They had lost Claire, yet again and it was starting to become a reoccurring theme. Everything would be fine and then someone would try to ruin it all.

There was no doubt in the groups mind that Carol had something to do with it, especially after what Yelena had told them she had overheard. Wanda had been trying to use her powers to create a telepathic link to Claire. For the first day it had worked and then she seemed to just not be there anymore. She could still feel Claire's presence, but wasn't able to connect to her and see if she was okay.

A red room girl had shown up the day after Claire had gone missing and she was pretty easily overtaken. Melina had given her the cure to the brainwashing and she had given them more information on the red room. Since Dreykov was dead now Madame B was in charge. Although this wasn't their top priority at the moment, it was still something they kept a close eye on.

They were all sitting in the living room discussing possible theories when Carol walked into the room, a grave look on her face. Immediately she was pushed to the floor with Wanda's powers, an angry Wanda standing over her. "Where the hell is Claire!" She yells, pushing Carol even further into the floor so it started to crack.

"Wanda... I can... explain. I'll tell you... where she is." Carol gasps out and Wanda releases her powers only to allow Natasha to cuff Carol and drag her to an interrogation room.

Wanda stormed after them, standing across from a now chained Carol. "Where is she."

"Before I came here I was taken by a group of people. The man claimed that he was Claire's father, supplying me with a DNA test which matched. He said if I didn't help him get her from you guys then he would kill all of you and take Claire himself. So I came here. I was supposed to break you both up and have Claire get close to me. It was working and then you guys got back together." Carol starts to explain and it all starts to make sense to Natasha. Carol was being forced to do these things which is why breaking Claire and Wanda up hadn't made any sense to them.

"So I asked her to go to the abandoned carnival with me, but of course she didn't know it was abandoned. They ambushed her there and took her back to the base. John and Claire talked bit but Claire refused to do what he wanted her to do."

"Which is what?" Yelena asks coldly from the corner of the room. Carol sighs, looking down at her chained hands. "What did he want her to do Carol!" Yelena shouts at her and Carol looks back up at the group.

"Take over the world. He has all six infinity stones, he somehow made them into one with all six powers and gave that entire power to her." Everyone goes silent, shock written over their faces. All six infinity stones would have killed Claire.

"Are you saying she's..." Wanda trails off and Carol shakes her head.

"No she's not dead. She very nearly was when John gave all the power to her. It took her three weeks to wake up but she did. She has all the power of the six infinity stones. Johns planning on brainwashing her so she cooperates because she hasn't been."

Yelena and Natasha stiffen at the brainwashing mention. They had already been through trying to get her out of brainwashing and that took a while in itself. But if she now had the power of all six infinity stones, it would be even worse. If she learnt how to control that power within the wrong group more damage could come than good. She could wipe out entire worlds with a snap of her fingers.

"Where is this base?" Tony asks, typing away at the computer he had gotten in the interrogation room.

"Antarctica."
