Capability - Wanda Maximoff

》 Chapter XII 《

"You think you can do what?" Clint asks in shock. They both sit opposite of me, with their eyes wide open. "How? Since when? Why? Like for real? What?" My brother asks. "I don't know. I think it is maybe because of the time stone. I don't know for sure. But I'm pretty sure I can slow down time." They both didn't say a word, for a few moments.

"Are you able to control it?" Clint asks most calmly. "At the moment more or less yes, the first time in my room was by accident, but in the trainings room I tried out something and it worked. Of course i need to practice but as long as my emotions aren't taking over, I think I'm able to fully control it soon." I say calmly with confidence but a heavy Sokovian accent. I am freaking out about that, but I don't want them to know that.

"We should tell the others?" Pietro says, but I sounds more like a question. "No not yet. You should be able to fully control it first. We can not risk, that the others think, that the Scarlet Witch takes over. Which she didn't, right Wanda?" Clint says quiet. He want to freak out to, but he tries to play it cool, like always. "No, it felt like I was in charge, but to be honest I have no idea how it feels, if the Scarlet Witch takes over." I answer him honestly. "The way that Strange talked about the Scarlett Witch, you definitely should feel it, so everything is fine at the moment." Clint says fast.

For a moment nobody says a word. Nobody knows what to say, I'm not sure, if we should tell the others or not. Clint was right, they were afraid, that the Scarlett Witch gets more powerful and now she is. Or am I more powerful? Is she maybe already in control every time I use my powers. Who am I? Who is she? Are we two personalities or just one? Can we work together? Is she just using me? Would I ever be able to use her? Can I be more powerful than she is? Is she my powers? Is there a way to get rid of her? Will she be able to get rid of me someday? What is with Pietro? He have the same thing.

I suddenly snap back from my thoughts. "Pietro!" I say loudly. Pietro and Clint look at me. "What's the matter?" My brother asks. "Do you feel different too? If I got effected by the time stone. You should be effected too. You also touched both of the stones. The mind stone, had given you your super speed and now? Are you faster? Is that even possible?" "We should find this out real quick." Clint pauses. "At the moment, they don't think about Quicksilver as a potential danger, but if we and the others don't know what he is capable of anymore, this might change their minds." Clint says. "I think both of you are definitely not a potential risk in our team. I believe that we never judge someone on their biggest mistakes. Otherwise Natasha would be already dead." Pietro and I chuckle about the thoughts. Clint killing Natasha, a thing that will never happen.

I understand why my brother trust him so much. "We should try out on that tomorrow, I'm a bit tired and if we train again, we might caught attention." My bothers says. Clint nods. "Do you guys want to watch a Sitcom?" I ask. Clint looks a bit confused at us, but Pietro answers. "Always little Sis, let me guess. Dick van Dyke." He says with a smirk. Clint still looks confused. "We always watched Sitcoms as children, with our parents." I say. "Its like a tradition." Pietro adds with a smile. Clint nods.

Why just watched a few episodes over in Pietros room, because my TV isn't fully set yet. I rearange my room why to often, so it's not worth it yet, Tony said a few days ago.
Clint seems to like the show as much, as Pietro and I do. But I must have fallen asleep, cause when I woke up the next morning, I was alone in my room again and I don't remember going bed to my room in the nigh.
I take a shower first thing in the morning and make myself ready for the day. Just a simple black jeans and a basic shirt, with a light jacket on top, nothing special.

„Morning Sleeping Beauty." Tony says while I enter the kitchen. I just roll my eyes und make myself a coffee. "Not everybody is an early bird." I response to him. "Its 10 a.m." He just laughs at me. "What?" I look over to the next clock, he is right. Why did I slept so long, and why didn't Pietro wake me up, I thought I had woken up early cause he didn't had shown up by now. "Tony have you seen my brother? He normally wakes me up every morning, but today he didn't." I say and become a bit nervous. "Nope haven't seen speedy." He answers me and shrugs.

I take my coffee and make my way to his room. I knock on his door. No response. I knock again. "Pietro?" I ask against the door. For a few seconds nothing happen. "Pietro?" I ask again, louder this time. I start to panic. But suddenly I hear something hit the ground and than a quiet "Shit." before my twin brother opens the door a bit and sticks out his head. "Whats the matter little sister?" He asks innocently, but he also seems nervous. "I was checking on you. It's already after ten and you're still in your room sleeping. I thought something happened. You never woke up so late, since I know you, which is forever. Why did you overslept?" I say and may sound a little bit furios, but I am, I was worried sick about him. "It just was a long night. Turns out, Clints also likes the Dick van Dyke show too." He say and his cheeks are turning red a bit. "I didn't mean to make you upset, I'm sorry Wanda." He looks down on the ground. "I love you dumbass, never do that again." I say with a heavy accent and Pietro nods. "See you in a few, for breakfast?" He asks. "More like Lunch, but yeah. See ya." I answer him and walk towards my room. He closes his door.

I walked back into the kitchen and started to make breakfast, till Pietro and Clint come into the kitchen. "I hope you two are hungry. I made some brunch." "Always little sister." Pietro says and sits down. Clint laughs and at least he helps me to put everything on the table. We eat together and are really quiet. Nobody actually knows what to say.

"Want to train yet? To test your brother a bit?" Clint ask, as we were almost finished. "Sure." I answer and look at my brother. He just nods and finishes is meal. We quickly clean up and went outside on a huge field. "You have a lot of space, now try out, what the timestone could have done to you." Clint laughs but also seems a bit nervous. We don't know what could happen and I'm a bit scared, but it's my brother, I have to trust him. I think to myself, by the time Pietro starts to run.

He was really fast, faster than usual and you can only see the blue lines he is leaving behind. Suddenly a blue spark lightens the field and the blue lines disappeared. "Pietro? Slow down, we can't see you any longer." I say loudly hopeful he would hear me. "Pietro slow down, for god sake, you had proofen yourself. You are faster than before." Clint nearly yells. "Pietro?" I also nearly scream. "Pietro you promised me this morning, you wouldn't scare my again, so slow down, before I get angry." I say loud, with a heavy accent. "Pietro?" Clint and I both scream his name.

I felt like forever, till a blue spark appears next to us and Pietro falls down on the ground. He is holding his head. "That was weird." He just say. "We know you are fast and you love to show of, but this wasn't nice. We were worried about you. Why didn't you listen to us?" Clint sounds a bit angry. "Pietro, where were you?" I ask. "I think I just saw the future, at least it looked like it, but I was like a ghost, nobody noticed me." He stands up slowly. "I saw, what I was thinking about. Our lives, if everything is over. That was overwhelming. I was that fast, that I was able to travel through time. Can you believe this?" He sounds amazed and happy. "That's something good hopefully, the next few weeks, we need to train on that, than we can present it to the others." Clint says with his normal calm but a bit stern and sarcastic voice. "That's awesome Pietro." I hug my brother and all the anger disappeared immediately.

"I'm don't want to interrupt your siblings moment, but we really need to train. We absolutely do not know, how long it is going to be that peaceful, we need to use it. Form the past I know, when it is too peaceful something bad is going to happen and I want to be prepared this time. Wanda, we need you to do what you can do, but while fighting." My face drops for a moment How am I suppose to use my magic and fight at the same time? "And Pietro, you need to see something useful for us in the future. That could really help. Maybe you could find out, when our unknown super-brains will attack us the next time."
