The following day, Wanda got up from bed and headed to the kitchen for a snack. Sitting on the couch, she started to feast on Tony's precious imported strawberries from Korea. The pseudocarp introduced her taste buds to a whole new world of flavour. The sorceress munched on her strawberries peacefully before her phone rang.
That was strange. She only had Pietro, Nat and James' numbers. Pietro always slept in, Nat loved her sleep and would force James not to wake up early. The sorceress opened her phone notifications, gasping when she realised who it was.
She frowned. She, in fact, did not know it was.
"Let's see here......" she mumbled to herself. "Ye...Ye...who?"
"Елена?" Pietro suggested.
The sorceress shrieked in shock and accidentally sent her brother crashing into a nearby wall.
Pietro grumbled and got up before sauntering over to the couch while Wanda fixed the wall.
"So, what did you say again?" Wanda asked with a sheepish smile. "Sorry, by the way."
"Yeah, yeah," Pietro said dismissively. "Anyway, as I was saying, this is pronounced 'Yelena'."
"Oh crap."
"Yeah. Nat's sister."
"We're not gonna' get killed right?"
"I hope not. After all, my dream is to get killed in bed."
Wanda gave him a look. "What is that supposed to mean."
Her brother responded with a grimace. "Ah...nevermind..."
The phone rang again.
Wanda yelped in surprise and nearly dropped the phone. "She's calling us!"
"Oh shit!"
"Don't just sit there genius! Do something!"
"I don't know! I know!" Pietro said. "I...I don't know!"
"You fish-faced idiot!"
"I know! Make sounds so that she thinks that it's a couple...you know..."
"I told you I don't know what that means!" Wanda yelled in frustration, causing her to unintentionally use her magic to press 'Answer'.
"Hello?" a voice called from the other end of the phone. "Cute red kid?"
"Oh! That's me!" Wanda squeaked before covering her mouth. "Oh damn it!"
Pietro smacked his head in disbelief.
"It's Aunt Yelena~" Yelena said in a sing-song tone.
"U-Um...yes...Auntie Yelena, yes," Wanda replied nervously. "Um, before you do something, just...give me a day to spend the last of my life in Disneyland..."
"Don't be ridiculous. I contacted you for help. Not to kill you. You're too cute," Yelena scoffed. "I'm going to need you to drag my sister and the Soldier into this though. And the rebellious silver kid."
"You mean Pietro?"
"Dah."
"Why?" Wanda asked. "We thought Madame B was warning us about you. Or... something..."
Yelena snorted. "Nonsense, молодой. (young one) She was warning you all about Alexei Shostakov."

"No! Not Papa!" Yelena groaned. "Your ex-fiancé, Alexei Shostakov."
"Yeah, that's Dad," Natalia retorted.
"There's two, dimwit! Your ex-fiancé's real surname is Smirnoff."
"You know that means quiet, peaceful, or gentle, right? He's the exact opposite," Natalia sighed. "Gave me and James a lot of headaches."
"Oh... I forgot about that. The WinterWidow romance! All the girls used to gossip about it in the Red Room after you two left. Heroes, you too."
"Thanks," James said, slightly embarrassed. "Moving on, what about Alexei Smirnoff?"
"About that......" Yelena said nervously. "It's a little complicated...so I'll come over."
The blonde hung up on the quartet.
"We're screwed," Pietro said.
"Yeah," James agreed. "Knowing her, she's going to try to beat the shit out of the Avengers after breaking in and stealing all the food for herself."
