Ghost

Chapter One Hundred Sixty Five

                                  Spencers POV

     "Well damn," Clint says.

     "Wait, what?" I'm lost.

     "I have no idea why your powers took so long to come to fruition, but I know they would talk about you being this crazy powerful person. That's why you never broke. That's why they kept testing you. They were trying to figure it all out, I guess. All I know is that they said there should be some world changing powers that you should have," Wanda tells me.

      Well then.

      "So you think I should be powerful enough to hold all of the infinity stones?"

      "I think.. after everything I've seen you do.. you could. I mean without even realizing it, you would be holding an infinity stone and be near someone. When Nat came in to hug you? Or the treehouse? We shouldn't have been able to get near it. But when you were holding it.."

      "Holy shit. How'd we miss that.." Tony says.

      "You knew this the whole time and you weren't going to tell her?!" Nat says with some anger.

      "Well, I.. she didn't want to know. I tried working on her powers with her. But she didn't want to know about it. And she didn't remember me. I didn't want to make her know all of this if she didn't have to," okay, that's pretty fair, I guess.

        "Bullshit. You could have told her or shown her well before you did," Yelena bites.

        "It's okay. She did what she thought was best. And since I didn't remember her.. well it would have been a lot. And I said I didn't want to know. I don't blame her," I look over at her with some sympathy and a smile, trying to offer some comfort.

       "Seriously? She had this big secret and you are just going to let it slide?" Gamora speaks up again.

      "Well, if I do in fact remember your methods of punishment, you were certainly no friend to me before, but here we are. I thought we were moving past this. Actually, why did you even bring this up now?"

      "I just thought you should know. Especially since we're trying to come up with a solution to this whole stones thing. I think you could do it," Gamora says plainly.

       I can feel Nat tense at the idea that I could handle all of the stones, so I speak first.

      "I think we could have gone about that a little better," I point out.

      Gamora shrugs her shoulders.

      "I really am sorry Spencer. And Nat. I should have said something sooner but.. I just didn't know how," Wanda says.

      "It's really okay, Wands. I wouldn't have known what to do either. And it couldn't have been easy. I'm just glad we're close now," I say with a smile to reassure her.

      "You know.. everyone thinks that Tony called my powers 'wiggly woos' first, but it was actually you," Wanda says softly.

      "Really?" I ask surprised.

      "Is that why you got upset when we called them that?" Clint asks.

      "And why you were more okay with it when I said it?" That actually explains a lot.

      She nods her head as she says, "yeah.. it was just weird after I thought you were gone. And then you came back and used the same name," she shrugs, drifting off.

      I nod my head in understanding.

      Well this has been interesting. You never know what's going to happen in an avengers meeting.
