Chapter Twenty-four

Edited: 12/6/23

RED ROOM

Madame B slammed her hands down on the desk. Her mission to retrieve Claire had failed and now she got word that John had been killed by the avengers. Although the good thing was he had been able to give her the power of all six infinity stones, the bad thing was that she was in the hands of the avengers which meant she was going to be learning how to control that power.

She needed to find out a way to get Claire back to the red room no matter what, and maybe threatening Wanda Maximoff would do just that.

AVENGERS COMPOUND

Claire had gotten up early, slipping out of Wandas hold and walking to the training room to clear her mind. As it was only two am nobody was awake and she had the training room to herself.

She hung a punching bag before going at it, not wrapping her knuckles as she welcomed the sting of pain each time she hit the bag. By the time the bag had broken her knuckles were raw and bleeding slightly.

As she looked at them she noticed something strange, her knuckles started to heal themselves. Her eyebrows knitted as she brought her knuckles up, flexing them as a stinging pain went through her fingers as the skin seemed to reappear.

When it was done her knuckles were completely healed like nothing had happened at all. She laughed to herself quietly, before walking out of the training room and back towards her room where Wanda was.

When she got there wanda was sitting up and looking down at something. "Wanda? What's wrong?" Claire asks quietly, shutting the door behind her before walking over to her girlfriend.

"My knuckles..." she states quietly, showing Claire them and Claire's eyes widen. She walks quickly over to Wanda and looks at them. Her knuckles were raw, exactly how Claire's were. Her powers had healed her but had given the pain to Wanda.

Claire closed her eyes, holding her hand over Wanda's and focused on trying to heal her. When nothing happened for a few minutes Wanda tried to pull her hands away from Claire but she kept a firm grip.

A moment later Wanda felt a weird sensation in her hands and looked down to see her wounds slowly closing and the same wounds slowly opening on Claire.

"Claire what the hell!" Wanda says, trying to pull her hands out from her grip but Claire keeps a firm hold until Wanda's hands were perfectly fine. "What the hell was that! Why would you take that pain!"

"Because it's mine. I went at a punching bag and made my knuckles raw and I guess the stones healed me but transferred it to you instead so I just focused on healing you and I guess the injury transferred back to me." She states and Wanda looks at her in shock.

"You can heal?" She asks and Claire nods with a small grin. It was thrilling to her to see what powers she had although she was still nervous. "That's amazing Claire!" Wanda exclaims, "but why does it transfer to you if you help someone?"

"I guess you can't have something without having a consequence." Claire says shrugging and Wanda just nods, slightly nervous about this power as she knew Claire would heal anyone on the team without a heartbeat. Even if it was a life threatening injury she would still heal them and if her powers transferred the injury from that person to her it could be dangerous.

"Come on, we're awake already let's go for a walk." Wanda says, standing up and going into Claire's closet to find something to put on. Claire smiles softly, watching as Wanda picks out a hoodie to throw over her T-shirt. Claire stands up as well, grabbing one of her hoodies before taking Wanda's hand as they walk out of her room and out of the compound and into the chilly morning air.

It was peaceful as they walked, the sun just slowly starting to rise making the clouds look a slight pink. "Promise me you'll be careful?" Wanda says softly and Claire looks down at her as they walk. "With the healing powers. I know that if anyone gets hurt on a mission or anything you would take the injury for them so that they don't feel the pain even if it meant giving it to yourself but I don't want you to hurt yourself. Especially if someone has a life threatening injury you'd take it even if it meant you'd die." She says and Claire just looks at her knowing it was true. She would do anything for this team of heroes.

"I love you Maximoff, you know that right?" Claire says softly and Wanda chuckles nodding. "Then stop your talking about all this sad stuff. I'll be careful, I promise." She states, stopping their walking and pulling Wanda towards her for a kiss.

Wanda chuckles against Claire's lips before pulling away and looking up at her. "I love you too." She says and now it was Claire's turn to grin.

They continue walking around until the sun was high in the sky. They finally walked back into the compound for breakfast.

Instead of finding everyone happily talking they find Natasha laying in a pool of her own blood as Bruce does CPR on her as Steve pushes down on her stomach, blood seeping through his fingers.
