Life Of Y/n Banner// Wanda Maximoff x Fem!Reader

Chapter 32

"Banner?" Bucky asked. "As in, Bruce Banner? As in, Al-"

"Alexander?" I asked. "You knew him right? When you were under Hydra's control?"

He hesitated.

"Please. I need to know." I begged, desperate for any information. He opened his mouth to respond but he was cut short. A U.S. military truck coming barreling towards us. Oh God, not now. I'm so close.

I never got my answer that day. Steve, Clint, Sam, Bucky, Wanda and someone else I didn't know, were all arrested for going against the Sokovia Accords. Tony, Natasha and I spent the entire night trying to get the charges dropped but to no avail. T'Challa had to return back to Wakanda for his duties, Rhodey and Vision went back to the compound along with a new recruit Tony had found. The night dragged on forever.

When we returned back to the compound Rhodey was asleep on the couch while Vision and the new recruit was sitting on the floor having an intense conversation. "Uh, Tony?" I asked as I starred at the kid with floppy brown hair and a red and black spandex suit on.

"Huh?" he asked then followed my gaze to the boy. "Oh, right. Uh, kid?" he called and boy turned from Vision to Tony. His face beamed with light as a smile grew on his lips.

"Mr. Stark!" he exclaimed and quickly stood up. "What happened in Germany? I mean one minute I'm waiting for your signal and the next a bunch of military people start arresting Captain America and his team. And then I couldn't find you and-"

"Kid!" Tony cut him off and sighed. "I want you to meet someone." His gaze turned to me and so did the boys. The boy looked about my age and when he saw him his jaw dropped.

"Oh my god! You're-"

"The Hulk's daughter? So I've been told." I cut him off annoyed.

"Well, technically speaking, the Hulk can't reproduce." he said. My eyes widened in shock.

"Oh, I'm gonna like you." I beamed. "What's your name, Spandex?"

"I'm Peter. Parker." he said and stuck out his hand.

"Y/n Banner, though I think you already knew that." I said and gave him hand a firm shake.

"Of course, Doctor Banner is like my idol! No offense, Mr. Stark!" Tony dismissed him with a wave of his hand as he threw himself face first into the nearest couch. Peter looked at him confused. "He okay?"

"It's been a long night." I sighed. "We weren't able to convince Ross to drop the charges he's holding on the others. Tony's kind of having a hard time with it. You know, cause he always gets what he wants...and he misses Steve."

"No, I don't!" Tony yelled, though his voice was muffled by the couch cushions.

"Mr. Stark, would you like me to get you Mr. Rogers-"

"Yes," Tony cut Vision off apparently already knowing what he was asking. Vision stood up and walked out of the room.

"So," I said to Peter. "what were you and Vis talking about that put Rhodey to sleep?"

"He was curious about how I got my powers and it led to a long discussion about biology and evolution."

"What are your powers?" I asked. "And what's with the Spandex?"

"Oh, uh-" he looked down at his suit. "Mr. Stark made the suit for me. Better than my last one I suppose. And, uh, I have enhanced strength, agility, and I can climb walls."

"Really?" I asked. "What'd you get bite by a spider?" I laughed.

"Yeah actually, radioactive one." he said in a tone that suggested no sarcasm or jokes.

"You're kidding right?" I asked trying to hide my excitement.

"Nope."

It took me a second to compose myself so I wouldn't squeal like a child. "Do you have any idea how cool that is? I mean, I can set myself on fire sure but I didn't get bit by a radioactive spider! Transferring survival traits from one species to the human DNA has been something scientists have been trying to do for ages! And you were just going about and suddenly got bit by a spider?"

"Well yeah-wait-did you just say you can set yourself on fire?!"

The conversation continued that like for a few more hours. Until the dawn broke and we decided we should try to get at least a little bit of sleep before we had to face to morning. When we woke up Tony, Vision and Rhodey were gone and Peter needed to leave for school. So, I was alone. It's not a good idea to leave me alone without Wanda.

My thoughts began to spiral and everything I had tried so hard to build back completely diminished. I was losing everything. I couldn't help my brother. My dad was dead. Wanda was in a holding cell with Steve and Clint and Sam. And I couldn't take it anymore. So, I went into the kitchen and reached below the sink. I pulled out a half-empty bottle of whiskey that I had stored there after my dad died. It was gone within 20 minutes. I just sat on the floor in the kitchen with my knees drawn to my chest, drinking away my troubles.

What I wasn't expecting was for Tony to suddenly burst into the kitchen with a beaming smirk. A smirk that quickly dropped when he saw me. "Aw, kid." he sighed and shook his head.

"I couldn't take it anymore. The voices just wouldn't stop." I cried.

He walked over to me and pulled me up and into a hug. "I know, kid. I know."

I laughed dryly. How could you possibly know?

"Got a surprise for you." he said. I moved my head to look at him. "It's in the living room." he whispered and let me go. "Come on."

We walked into the living room and suddenly everything the alcohol dulled became vibrant again. Steve, Sam and Wanda stood by the couch talking and behind them...Alex.

"What the fuck?" I asked. The four people in the living room snapped their heads to look at me. Wanda's lips turned into a bright smile and she came barreling into me. "Hi." I said taking in her familiar warmth and vanilla scent.

"I promise I will listen to you next time you tell me not to do something." she said as she pulled away slightly so she was facing me. Then, in a quick motion, she placed a soft kiss on my lips. 

I sighed and backed up. "As glad as I am for all of you to be here instead on in a holding cell...I'm a little confused at how you got him." I pointed to Alex who was awkwardly watching the scene from behind Steve.

"Actually, he found us." Steve said, stepping aside so we could see Alex better.
