"What were you thinking?" Tony exclaimed raising his arms up in exasperation.
"She wasn't," Bruce chimed in not helping the situation.
For the passed hour she had received scolding over scolding about how reckless and stupid she had been to leave the compound after what had happened in Tony's lab. How irresponsible an dangerous it was not only for herself but for the team to go out on a mission without getting a hold of the full expense of her powers. Fury tapped his foot on the marvel floor, not saying a word, but she knew, he also felt deeply disappointed at her.
What the men didn't seem to realize is that she wasn't a kid anymore. She wasn't some weak, broken sack of bones in need to be put back together. She understood their worry and concern but is not like she had been recklessly driving under the influence or spray panting walls around the city. She didn't teleport not once, she didn't try anything she hadn't before, what happened in that room with Wanda was something that had been building up since they met, and they both knew it. It was none of their business.
"That's enough," Wanda gritted her teeth already growing frustrated, she was being dragged into the conversation. Tony and Bruce exclaiming she had been just as dumb to be a part of it. She didn't know Vera was having problems in the first place, she didn't even suspected it by how calm and collected she seemed at the beginning of the mission.
"Oh and now you two are friends!" Tony exclaimed bitterly, "how convenient."
"What's that supposed to mean?" Wanda challenged tilting her head, burning holes into his skull. Before it could escalate Vera stepped forward, placing a hand softly on the brunettes arm, silently pleading her to stand down. It seemed to her like she was pushing boundaries but when Wanda softened under her touch she felt relief flowing back to her body.
"Dad, I know it was wrong to go out but nothing happened on the mission that I couldn't control. Yes I got my ass kicked but because they set us up. Wanda helped me and that's the whole reason I'm here and not at some hydra's base." She explained as calmly as she could.
A voice behind her interrupting the interaction. "That is true." Steve said not really knowing the conversation he just walked into, "the insider, he was full of crap, it was a trap, they're looking for Vera."
The remaining part of the group showed up. Clint walked in with Natasha. The redhead seemed as happy as ever to see the younger girl, but when she lowered her eyes and saw her hand over Wanda's skin, her gaze hardened. Of course Vera didn't notice, but Wanda did. However, she didn't care to please the needs of the older woman, only her own, and she recently found herself enjoying the closeness of the Stark girl.
