The Other Sister [1] [EDITED]

Chapter Twenty-Five

Edited: 12/6/23

Claire and Wanda both stood in shock, looking at the scene in front of them. Bruce was still doing CPR while Steve was trying hard to stop the blood that was seeping out of the wound on Natashas stomach.

Claire got out of her shock first and started walking towards Nat only to be held by the wrist from Wanda. She looks back at Wanda to see her pleading eyes and gives her a small smiles, kissing Wanda's hand before pulling away and crouching down next to Nat.

Claire goes to move Steve's hands away and he looks up at her like she's crazy. "What the hell are you doing!"

"Just trust me." She states, moving Steve's hands away and closing her eyes, placing her hands down over the bullet wound on Natashas stomach.

She focuses on the wound and wills her mind to heal it. She dongles tingling in her hands before Natashas skin started to get warm under her hands and she could feel pain starting up in her abdomen. From the gasps around the room she knew it was working.

"Claire stop, you're going to kill yourself!" Wanda exclaims, Clint holding her back from running over.

Claire doesn't stop, willing her powers further, ignoring the excruciating pain running through her stomach. She opened her eyes, gritting her teeth as she watched the rest of the wound close up, leaving nothing but a tiny scar.

She pulled away from Nat, the pain getting to her as her shirt starts to turn red. She pulls it up revealing her stomach which now had a bullet hole in it. Clint let's Wanda go and she races to the floor, coming around to Claire's front and pressing her hand down on her stomach causing Claire to let out a hiss of pain.

Natasha slowly sits up, looking around the room with a confused face as Steve picks Claire up and they all rush too the infirmary. Claire groans again as she's laid down on the hospital bed and Bruce starts to get to work on the bullet wound.

A moment later Natasha and Clint rush into the room and Nat goes to Claire's side where Yelena was standing. "Why... why would you do that Claire." She breathes out, taking Claire's outstretched hand in hers and holding it.

"You... you're... my.. my sister." She states breathlessly, her eyes fluttering slightly as the blood loss starts to get to her. Bruce had given her a sedative a moment before, not waiting for it to kick in before he starts trying to get the bullet out of her causing her to bite back a shout of pain.

Soon enough the sedative kicks in and she's fast asleep as Bruce dogs for the bullet and finally pulls it out. He starts patching her up, and when he's done he throws all his dirty tools away and washes his hands.

"Now... I don't know what the hell happened and how she was able to transfer your injury to her, but in the process it made it less worse for her so she didn't die."

"She showed me this morning," Wanda states "one of her powers is the ability to heal, but if she heals someone the pain and injury transfers to her but if she heals herself the pain will transfer to me."

"Do we have identity on the shooter?" Steve asks and Tony nods.

"We found him running away in the woods, a sniper a few miles east set up in a tree. He's in a cell downstairs but won't talk. I don't know why he wanted Romanoff dead but from where the sniper was set up to where Romanoff was standing before she got shot it's a perfect view."

"Which cell is he in?" Nat asks, her cold, scary, assassin mode switching on as she crosses her arms.

"27"

Natasha walks out of the room swiftly and down towards the cells. She finds his cell with ease and a moment later walks in to find a man sitting in the chair and handcuffed to the table. He looks up at her and his mouth falls open in shock. I guess he hadn't expected to see her up and about after he just shot her.

She doesn't bother sitting down in the chair opposite him but instead stands, arms crossed over her chest and a petrifying look on her face that made him cower in his chair slightly.

"Whyd you shoot me?"

"How are you alive?" He retaliated, "I shot you in the abdomen and you look perfectly fine."

"You underestimated my sister. Now why did you try and kill me? Who hired you?"

He stays silent which infuriates Natasha. She slams her hands down on the interrogation table, getting eye level with him causing him to shrink in his seat slightly.

"My sister had to have surgery because you tried to kill me. Now tell me why you tried to kill me and who hired you."

"Your old friend, Madame B. She knew Claire would heal you, that was her plan all along. Get her into a shape where she couldn't fight against people and then take her. I was just the distraction."

Natasha's eyes widen ever so slightly before she walks out of the room. The moment she's out of view of the cell she races back up towards the infirmary.

When she got there all she saw was chaos. Tables were knocked over and her teammates lay asleep on the floor, the remains of a smoke bomb that held sedatives in it aired in the room. The hospital bed was empty and Claire was gone.

The man was right. Claire had been taken.

RED ROOM

Madame B smirked, looking down over Claire as she slept, the sedative the avengers had given her still holding an effect on her. It made it quite easy to take her.

"Bring her to her room. Let me know when she wakes up." She tells the three girls who were waiting for orders. They all nod, taking Claire to her room.

Now the avengers would pay.... With their lives.
