6) Training

Wanda found Natasha sparring against padded robots in a glass room. The woman was using nothing but her fists, but she seemed to be winning even though the robots had lazors.

Wanda caught herself staring, but she didn't want to intrude in the training and end up getting punched or zapped.

After a few minutes, the session ended and Natasha left the glass box.

She had a bit of sweat on her forehead, and she wore a yellow tank top and brown shorts. She had sweat bands on her wrists and she noticed Wanda.

"Hey, need anything?" She asked, grabbing a towel from off a hook and putting it on her head.

"Um.. No- yes. I'm just uh.. looking for something. The kitchen, I mean." Wanda replied, studdering over her words a bit.

Natasha noticed the faint blush growing in Wanda's face, but she didn't make a comment about it.

"The kitchen is a few floors down. The elevator is that way and the staircase is that way." Natasha pointed in two separate directions as she spoke.

"Oh. Okay." Wanda nodded.

She didn't move away though.

Natasha raised an eye brow and she hung the towel back up.

"Need anything else?" She asked, moving closer to Wanda.

"Um.. Do you know where I could get some clothes too?"

"Yeah. If you don't want to go shopping, I usually take clothes from the guys so you can as well."

Wanda nodded.

Natasha spoke again since Wanda still hadn't left.

"Want to train? Pietro speaks highly of you."

"Really? I've never really trained against.. actual people." Wanda replied with an awkward laugh.

"That's fine. I'd just like to see what you're all about."

Did she wink? Wanda swore one of her eyes moved in a specific point. Or maybe not.. Maybe Wanda was just tired.

"Okay." She put on a smile.

Natasha lead Wanda into a different glass room, not the one with the robots.

Training in the HYDRA rooms consisted of using her magic as her instructors told her to. She never truly learned how to properly fight, so she would be relying on her magic for this.

The two women took different sides of the room, looking at one another. Natasha raised her arms and moved into a sparring stance, so Wanda copied her motion.

Natasha pushed off on her back foot and ran at Wanda. She intended to go soft on the new girl, but every fight needed a dramatic entrance.

Natasha aimed to look like she would be going up, and it worked since Wanda summoned magic and tried to shoot it at her, only for Natasha to slide down and around her leg. As she did, she hooked her arm on Wanda's ankle and Wanda stumbled before falling, her leg lifting up as Natasha stood.

Natasha pulled out one of her tazors and pointed it at Wanda, who raised her hands in surrender.

"Come on, you can do better than that." Natasha encouraged her.

She put the tazor back and held out her hand, which Wanda used to help herself up.

"I was going easy." Wanda said in a mumble.

"Sure you were." Natasha nodded.

They repositioned themselves at each wall of the room, then this time Wanda moved first.
