Salvo ~ Avengers Soulmate au

6.

"Hi", was the first thing that came out of Wanda's mouth.

Salvo was understandably bewildered . Why in the world would an avenger search as Wanda Maximoff greet her when she had absolutely no obligation whatsoever? Why would someone willingly converse with a murderess like her? I mean she understood why the other Avengers did it. Rejecting her without conversing might be seen as cold in their world or something along those lines - it's not like she knew the customs of the world outside her cell .

Rejection was something she had made peace with a long time ago. She knew her fate - her destiny , and none of them involved cuddles and long drives . She was a weapon , she'd always be a weapon - that right there was her past, her present and her future .

Salvo looked at Wanda.

"I know you don't know me, I mean, hi - I'm Wanda. It's just, I wanted to get to know you since you're my brother's soulmate and all ", she spoke up.

Wanda slowly slid down the other side of the glass barrier.

" Pietro - he has always looked after me . When our parents died in the bombing, he raised me and did everything he could to protect me from any harm"

Salvo was begrudgingly intrigued.

"What i mean to say is that he sacrificed a lot to get us here today . He smiled at me and gave me hope at the toughest times , although he is just 12 minutes older than me - which mind you he likes to me remind of all the time - he took up the role of both the parent and the brother. He deserves some good in his life - some happiness , and i believe you're it. So please promise me to not hurt him. He's the last of my family and he deserves the best no matter how annoying he can be. "

Suddenly her voice dropped an octave, her eyes glowed an eery red and was it just her or did the room become chillier?

"Or so help me god you'll find out why exactly they call me the Scarlet Witch".

Salvo was confused. There were no other words . Why was Wanda threatening her? She was pretty sure Pietro would be here any second to reject her or - kill her? So how did his happiness or future depend on her in any way? Should she asked Wanda? Would she answer?

Before she could come to a conclusion Wanda's eyes snapped to her as if she had heard her. She hadn't spoken out loud, had she? Wanda looked at her with something in her brown eyes which she did not recognize. It's not like she had a dictionary to identify human emotions.

"Hey, hey - don't stress it. It'll turn out alright. Pietro would nev-", Wanda was cut off by the door opening. A woman entered, dressed in a grey pant suit and with a tight bun on the top of her head (seriously didn't that give her a migraine?)

"Your transfer has been requested. You'll now be held in the Avengers Tower under their supervision until further instructions", saying this the woman walked out without another word and Salvo was left to confusingly stare after her.

- what just happened?
