Souls Like None Other (Avengers Soulmate Story)

Interrogation

A/N: sorry for the late update. I forgot 😅

"They're in affiliation with the enemy. They manipulated one of the agents... and they took her..."
Wanda says, close to tears and almost screaming. Pietro is holding her, and he opens his mouth to continue, but Clint interrupts him:
"Didn't you start off with an enemy too, using your powers to manipulate others?"
The twins went silent.
"You changed. You began to cooperate once you learned the truth. Maybe these kids don't know what they're doing, or they're being influenced. Whatever it is, brute force is not going to work"
Wanda looked towards the room, where the two boys were currently being held. She was still angry, but knew Clint was right. They went back to the room the boys were kept in. This time they have been given handcuffs, which weakens their powers significantly. So far no one has attempted to interrogate them, because of the unnecessary aggression there would be towards them, but now it was time to get something out of them. To take more safe steps they let Vision have the first conversation, because he could easily withstand the mind control.

The boys were not easy to talk with. Or, the blond one wasn't. The brunette seemed more interested in talking, but the other wouldn't let him. Agent Jones allegedly knew him, and maybe seeing her has made him interested. Vision decided to try and bring her up, to make him talk.
"You know agent Jones, right?"
The blond gave him a sharp look as he slowly nodded.
"Is she okay?"
He asked quietly, almost whispering.
"Stop talking!!"
The other scolded, as he realised he couldn't reach him telepathically no matter how hard he tried. Vision ignored him.
"She's still unconscious, but she's fine. Is she a good friend of yours?"
"We lived in the same neighbourhood"
Suddenly the taller boy grabbed his partner and dragged him away from Vision.
"You stop talking the first time I tell you to! That's an enemy, you idiot!"
"But Mira-"
"I don't care about her. Just shut up from now on! Master Calignox will send someone soon"
Seeing the boys argue like this, made it clear to Vision that they weren't being controlled but that they were more likely being brainwashed to believe that they were fighting for a better cause. The humans who have been reported as being in affiliation with the shadow creatures have all been multi-marks, and have all been stronger than what should be possible. Maybe they're promised power for helping out.
"Stop it, Caleb! It hurts"
The brunette suddenly cried.
"You idiot!"
Caleb yelled and punched him in the face. Vision quickly separated them. Caleb tried to follow after his partner, who had ran to the other end of the room crying, but he was far from strong enough.
"Let me go, you weird thing! I know you're not human and only wants to torture us for information"
"For someone who's deemed old enough to carry out missions, you sure act like a brat. I think you two will have it best if you stay separated for a while"
It was easy to get them in their own room from then on. Fury had wanted to do that from the start, but now that the blond boy, who's name was Rubin, wanted to cooperate more it felt better separating them now.
