[ Avengers compound, 2015 ]

Your fingers brush over his cold cheek. Tears stream down your face but you don't care, that's your little brother laying right there. Your powers surge through him but there's no life left in him to juice up.

'meni shkoda' you whisper with a small hiccup. 'YA nikoly ne povynen buv pryvesty tebe do nykh.'
(I'm sorry, I should have never brought you to them)

You lay down your arm next to his head, your head rests upon it while your hand now cups his cheek. Your shoulders shake with the rage and sadness that are battling within you.

'YA yikh znyshchu.' You breathe, you raise your head again and put your hand under your nose to wipe it. (I will destroy them)

Your shaking hand reaches out to take his. You bring it to your lips and softly kiss it. 'spokiyno vidpochynʹ brat' (rest softly Brother)

You and Pietro have a different type of bond than you and Wanda have. Pietro always has been the one to make you laugh the hardest, he was the perfect person to cheer you up. Wanda is the one you share stories with, Pietro was the one you shared the laughter with.

Even in dark times, which there have been plenty of, he knew just what to say. Even now you know exactly what he would say if he saw you like this. He would tell you that you have an ugly crying face, that you should never do Botox because it will become even more ugly.

To everyone else it would've sounded mean of degrading but not to you. You'd kill for him to be able to tell you that right now.

You hear the door behind you open and close, someone halts behind you, probably because they weren't expecting you to be in here.

It's probably the dumbest thing you've ever done, being one of the most dangerous people on the planet. You snuck into the avengers base to see your brother one last time. You knew it would probably get you arrested or killed even.

'I thought I saw you around here...' Steve speaks up with his "captain" voice.

'I didn't come here to fight you... I came here to say goodbye to my brother, after that you can do whatever you want just... please.. let me say goodbye...' you sniff, not taking your eyes off of your brother.

It catches him off guard. You're not the same woman he met earlier into his career. You're not the same woman who went on a killing spree for Hydra. You're showing him something he hasn't seen on you before. Vulnerability.

'You can kill me if you'd like... just.. let me say goodbye to him...' you don't even turn to him, you don't see him as a threat right now.

His gaze at you softens immediately. He did believe Wanda and Pietro were evil at first, they turned out to just be confused, perhaps the same is going on with you.

So instead of alerting the others, alerting the entire building, he slowly makes his way over to you. He puts his hand on your shoulder which makes you freeze.

'I'm sorry about your brother...'

'He didn't deserve this... I did this to him...'

Steve frowns, he grabs a chair and sits down next to you. 'Explain to me how you think this is your fault...'

You turn your head towards him. 'Our home got destroyed.. by Starks weapons...we lost our parents... I didn't know what I was supposed to do with two twelve-year-olds... I was sixteen at that time myself so I... I didn't know...' you wipe away some fresh tears while Steve gives you an understanding nod.

You turn back to watch Pietro. Your hand still on his. 'I wanted to keep them safe.. of course I knew Hydra was bad but.. usually the bad guys have quite the security...' you sigh.

'So I spoke to one of the high officers there.. he told me that if we joined, if I helped them in return that they both would be safe.. so I agreed...I mean what was I supposed to do at sixteen years old?'

'So you joined them, they separated you and started experimenting on them?' Steve asks.

'Yes... I didn't know they did it until I saw them a while later.. after I did a couple missions for them... and now they were deployed... look where that got them... not towards safety...'

'You did what you could...to keep them safe... they chose to help us against Ultron... he threw himself in front of someone else to save them... your sister helped us get rid of most of the bots... those two are heroes through and through...' Steve squeezes your shoulder. 'Wanda has decided to join us.. to join the avengers... I'd say they turned out better than if you wouldn't have been there for them...'

Your eyes again fill with fresh tears. 'I'm done with Hydra.. I'm not going back...'

'It was you, wasn't it?' Steve asks as he looks at your dust covered jacket.

'I felt it... I felt him die and I couldn't... I couldn't keep my powers in check... I remember screaming out and then next thing I know, the whole place was demolished...serves them just right...' you can taste the bitterness on your tongue.

'Hey if you want... I could call Wanda in here.. I think she needs you right now...'

'So you're not going to arrest me or anything?'

'No...I uh.. I see the same thing I see in your siblings... you've got a good heart... it's just a little chipped here and there...' he stands up and walks out.

Seconds later the door reopens, this time you immediately look over your shoulder to see Wanda standing there. Her mouth falls open when she sees you.

'Sestra...' she breathes, her feet taking her towards you in a hurry.

You leap out of the chair and opens your arms for her to jump right in. Her arms wrap around your waist while yours wrap around her shoulders. A hand in her neck keeps her against you.

'Meni duzhe shkoda Sestra..' you whisper. (I'm so sorry sister)

'durnytsya, ty zaraz tut' she sniffs. (Nonsense, you're here now)

Pietro did a lot more than just saving Clint the day he died. He saved you as well. You got out of Hydra, Wanda got her place with the avengers and you will get your revenge on them.

'Thank you, Steve...' you nod at him.

'You're welcome..' he nods back.

'Take good care of her will you? She gets a little into her own head sometimes...'

'I will... as long as you keep in touch...' he smiles at you.

'Yes sir..' you salut him before swinging your leg over the motorcycle. 'Oh and Steve?'

'Yeah.'

'I owe you... so if you ever need me... don't hesitate to ask...'

'I'll keep that mind Y/n...'

'Good...'
