Your pov
You've been asleep for a while now and Nat hasn't moved from her chair. After a while Steve and Wanda come back with some food. They decide to let you sleep so they just talk and eat quietly. You end up smelling the food and waking up shortly after.
"Hey kiddo how are you feeling?" Asks Nat
" I feel a bit better, can I have some water please?" You ask
"Of course." Says Steve as he gets up and grabs you a water cup putting the straw In before handing the cup to Nat so she can help you take a sip.
"Would you like to try some food? Wanda and Steve made spaghetti and garlic bread." Says Nat
"Yes please" you say
Nat and Wanda help you sit up and you eat the spaghetti slowly. After a while Steve leaves to help Tony with something.
You, Wanda and Nat are watching Pitch Perfect on the Tv and you feel yourself getting sleepy. It only takes up a few minutes before you're sound asleep.
Wanda's pov
Nat, Y/n and I are in the infirmary watching pitch perfect and it looks like Y/n just fell asleep. Nat had her head rested on my shoulder.
"I wonder if Tony found out anything about the orphanage or y/n's background." Whispers Wanda
"I was wondering the same thing; I will go see if they have made any progress." Says Nat
"I will stay with her in case she wakes up." Says Wanda
"Thanks, I will be right back. Text me if you need anything in the meantime." Says nat giving Wanda a quick kiss before exiting the infirmary.
Nats's POV
Nat arrives to Tony's workshop, where Tony, Bruce and Steve were all busy looking at different stuff.
"Any updates?" Asks Nat
"We are all working on something different. I wasn't really able to find anything about the orphanage, but I have notified CPS and they plan to remove the kids in the morning and will conduct a full investigation. They are also sending a case worker to pick Y/n up tomorrow afternoon." Says Tony
"From the looks of it, Y/n has no family. Her parents and older brother died in a car accident 10 years ago when she was only 4 years old. Says she was the only survivor of both cars. Drunk driver." Says Steve
"I've been trying to study the item in her back, it looks like is a replica of a Halo." Says Bruce
"A halo?" Asks Tony
"From what I've read, this Halo is not from this world. The story goes that it was an angel's halo, that was stolen. Since then it's been passed down from halo bearer to halo bearer and its their job to protect the Halo and the world from demons." Says Bruce
"Do we know what the powers are?" Asks Steve
"Not yet, but there might be a group we can track down that does. They are called the OCS, Order of the Cruciform Sword. They are a group of nuns based in Spain. Tracking them down might be our best bet." Says Bruce
"I'll see what I can do to help, maybe we can bring them here." Says Tony
"CPS can't take Y/n, if they find out she has something in her back, they will ship her off to some lab and run tests on her like she's a lab rat." Says Steve
"We won't have a choice, they know she's here. None of us have legal guardianship over her." Says Tony
"We need to do something; we don't know what that Halo does or if she has powers." Says Nat
"Maybe we can get temporary custody." Says Steve
"Let me go talk to Wanda." Says Nat
Nat leaves the workshop and heads back to the infirmary. Wanda sees her and gets up so you are out of hearing distance.
"What's going on?" Asks Wanda
"CPS will be here to pick Y/n up tomorrow." Says Nat
"She doesn't have any family?" Asks Wanda
"All dead." Says Nat
"Babe, we can't let her go back, what if she gets sent back to the same home? Shes been through so much already." Says Wanda
"Steve said we might be able to fight for temporary custody, but I wanted to speak with you first." Says Nat
"Lets do it." Says Wanda
"Really?" Asks Nat
"We have been wanting to adopt for a while now. We might as well give it a try. Plus I can tell you already care for her so much, even though you both barely know each other. She seems to feel safe with you." Says Wanda
"Should we talk to her about it?" Asks Nat
"I don't think it would hurt to see what she wants. That's a great idea." Says Wanda
Your pov
You wake up and you don't see anyone near you, but you can hear talking.
"Hello?" You call out softly
Both Wanda and Nat appear a few moments later.
"Hey sweetheart, how are you feeling?" Asks Wanda
"I'm okay I guess, am I allowed to sit in the chair?" You ask
"Of course" says Wanda as she puts the rails down on one side.
Nat and Wanda stay near you as you stand up and slowly move to the chair before sitting down. Making sure you won't fall or anything.
"We have a question to ask you." Says Nat
"What's up?" You ask
"Well, I was speaking with Tony and he let CPS know that we found you. He mentioned that a CPS case worker is coming to pick you up tomorrow and bring you to a new home. But Wanda and I are wondering if you would be okay with us filing for temporary custody, just to make sure you're okay and that the thing inside your back won't cause any issues or anything like that." Says Nat
"Wait really?" You ask
"Yes really" says Wanda
"I'd like that thank you." You say
They both get up and hug you. You feel so safe with them for the first time in a very long time.
You spend the next hour or so talking with them and getting to know them better before you drift off to sleep.
