Trapped in Silence

Chapter 6

I wake up in a cold sweat and breathing heavily. Looking to my right I find a clock that reads 6:15. That's the longest I've ever slept. My nightmares have been more intense since the witch went into my head, I don't blame her though, she did what had to be done. Jumping in the shower and rinsing myself off I find sweatpants and a long sleeve shirt sitting on the counter with a note on top. *Meeting at 7, don't be late* Getting dressed I look at the clock now reading 6:45. Great, I get fifteen minutes to find this place. Walking out of the room I head straight down the hall taking a left at the end. Expecting to find more bedrooms or offices I am met with a common room along with a kitchen. Glancing around I find Wanda making a cup of coffee. I guess she sensed me watching her because she started walking towards me. "We have a meeting in about five minutes, would you like me to show you the way?" I give her a nod and she starts heading back in the direction I came from. Two minutes later I am sitting at a table with the rest of the avengers. Nat on my right and Wanda on my left while Stark of course is in front. "This is just a meeting to introduce ourselves and to get to know you a bit better". I look at Wanda as Tony says this. Sensing my nervousness she nods to me signaling that she could translate. After everyone went around the room introducing themselves Tony starts to compliment you? "I must say you've got some skill especially since you managed to snag my wallet". Tony gives you a smirk as you look down at your shoes, suddenly becoming interested with a speck of dirt. "We could use you on the team kid". You look up wide eyed as Steve stands up. "Now hold on tony, we don't even know who she is, what she does or if she is a threat". You feel slightly hurt that he would consider you as a threat. Sure you have been through some rough times but you couldn't imagine killing anyone. "Calm down frosty not everyone is out to get us". "I assure you she won't be a problem". Both men turn towards Wanda. "And how do you know this". "I've looked through her head, there is no bad intentions". "If there is no bad intentions then what is there?" I turn to look at her giving a slight nod. Taking a deep breath she continues, "there is pain, and a lot of it. I've seen her memories and felt everything that happened, nat has too. We've seen her fears and watched as she was betrayed by someone close. No one should have gone through what she did but we cannot change the past. Right now she needs to know that we will help her and make her feel comfortable. Now if you will excuse us, she will be bunking with me until a guest bedroom as been fitted so until then, see you all at dinner". Finishing her speech she grabs mine and nats hands and pulls us out of the meeting room, heading towards her own. I give a quick look at nat for her to just shrug and keep walking.
