Not your Fault

Chapter 20: Family vs Family

Hand in hand Wanda and I run towards the van Clint had parked out front. "Ladies first." Clint winks assisting myself and Wanda into the back glancing over his shoulder at the compound doors silently praying Visions figure doesn't appear from behind them. My neck still aches where Vision choked me and my nerves were fluttering but I place a smile on my face at Clint's words accepting his offer and gripping his hand while hoisting myself into the van. "We got one more stop." Clint yells from the drivers seat earning a nod.

Resting my head on Wanda's chest, her arms wrap around my shoulders pulling me even closer into her body. "You alright?" She whispers tucking a strand of hair behind my ear, concern lacing her tone. "I'll be ok baby." My voice barely rises past a whisper not in the mood for Clint to eavesdrop and tease me for my use of pet names. Nodding Wanda places a few kisses along the side of my head before resting her head on top of mine as the van comes to a stop.

Now cramped in the front seat beside Clint, a man named Scott Lang sleeping in the back, supposedly our new recruit for the mission to stop the Super Soldiers.

"So just because he's new he gets all the back space." I seethe gripping Wanda's thighs tighter as she sits on my lap blocking my view of the front window. Clint shrugs avoiding my deadly gaze and instead focusing on coming to a stop in the airport parking garage.

"Skye. Grow up." He monotones narrowly dodging the punch I throw at him. "Skye baby we are here now stop being a sook." Wanda chuckles gently removing herself off my lap earning a whimper to fall from my mouth. Immediate regret. "Aw does baby want her girlfwend back." Clint mocks pouting his lips to exaggerate the joke. "I swear Barton one day. One day I will kill you." I growl gripping the hilt of my throwing knife a little harder earning a well deserved flinch from the archer.

Before the fight could escalate any further a rather small blue car pulls up beside us. My attention diverts to the three men stepping out of it. Steve followed by Sam followed by Bucky. Seeing the last man I take a step backwards into Wanda who laces her arms around my waist, the feeling of comfort overwhelming the fear.

Bucky's eyes flicker over me for a second longer than everyone else's before moving back to his surroundings purposely avoiding me now. "Cap." Clint grins shaking Steve's hand. "You know I wouldn't have called if I had any other choice." Steve apologises. "Hey man you're doing me a favour." Those words kept Steve's morale high his face turning towards Wanda and myself.

"Thanks for having my back, both of you. Especially seeing your sisters on the other side. It means a lot." Steve nods. My heart drops at his words but my composure stays intact hoping Wanda couldn't feel my heart speed up. I didn't want to fight my sister but I didn't exactly have a choice in the matter here. "It was time to get off my ass." Wanda replies for the both of us sending a thankful glance towards Clint.

"How about our other recruit?" Steve asks gesturing towards the van door no doubt hearing Scott's snores through the metal. Staying inside the comfort of Wanda's arms I turn my head enough to watch as Clint rips open the sliding door loud enough to jolt the sleeping man awake. "What time zone is this?" Scott murmurs clumsily making his way out the van and onto the floor.

His eyes magnify at the sight of the Avengers standing before him. Stuttering on his words he bases his view on Steve. "Captain America!" Shaking Steve's hand rather aggressively, the smile on Scott's face matching the one a child would wear after receiving a lollipop. "Mr Lang." Steve replies glancing down at the awkwardly long hand shake with a raised eyebrow. "It's an honour." Scott continues not yet noticing the awkwardness of the situation.

A few more seconds pass before Scott purses his lips in thought. "I'm shaking your hand too long." Although Scots optimism doesn't die as he still continues fangirling. " Wow! This is awesome. Captain America." Jabbing a thumb at the super soldier he turns to face Wanda and I. "I know you guys, too. Your great."
