Faster (Pietro Maximoff)

Little kids

I got up with a killer headache. I can't even remember drinking, but then again Tony probably slipped something in everyone's drinks. I looked around and saw that I was back in the same room as yesterday. I walked to the bathroom and grabbed some aspirin before looking in the mirror. I looked like hell. I didn't bother to take off the dress or my make up. I look like Godzilla's bride. I hopped in the shower.

"Laura! Laura!" Someone called. I forgot that was me. "Yeah I'm in the shower." I yelled back. I heard the door open and I stuck my head through the curtain to see who was there. Steve. "What's up?" I asked, finishing my shower. "There's a meeting in a few minutes in the living room and we all were wondering if you had enough aspirin for a few more people." I laugh quietly and stop the shower. I grab the towel and wrap it around me so I can get the aspirin. I smirk when Steve covers his eyes. What a gentleman? Sadly I can't say the same for the rest of the men in the apartment. I walked back to my room after, Natasha said "Damn they fit you up in Hydra." Thor said, "You look lovely Lady Laura." Clint said nothing just gave me the up down. And Pietro speed by so fast he almost took my towel. But I'm pretty sure the last part was on purpose. I changed into sweat pants and a purple tank top. The minute I walked into the room, Clint yelled, "Bam, I knew her favourite colour was purple." I smiled and sat down next to him and Pietro. "It's actually light blue." I smile. "And it's Ariana." I reveal. "So you remembered your name Princess?" Pietro asks, smiling. I blush and look down. "Yeah I guess." He stand up and rushes around, not that I could tell what he was doing until he sat down next to me again with a cup of coffee. "I'm fast enough. I think you need it more." He smirks and pushes it to me. I thank him, still blushing and hold the warm cups in my cold hands. Tony, Wanda and Steve walks into the room all of them looking like death. Guess I'm not the only one. "So we were called here why?" I ask, feeling Pietro pull me closer to him on the couch. Natasha and Wanda smile at me and I watch confused. "I know it's recent after Ultron, but we've got a new problem." Tony starts, quietly though, since I'm pretty sure everyone has a hangover, except Bruce. "Agents from around the globe have just been dropping off the map. Quite normal for if an agent wants to get away, but so far it's been 32 different agents in 13 days. We have reason to believe that Hydra may be behind it." Behind him he starts bring up images of Hydra bases, and new projects. The pictures flew by but I want up at one of them. "That. That's it." I yell. I remember no one knows what I'm talking about. I look around and see the look of 'what the hell' on everyone's faces. "That's what I'm supposed to have. They call it, The Centipede." I mutter, staring in awe. "What does it do? Or is it just named after a creepy thousand legged bug?" Tony asks,sarcastically. "It keeps up your powers. You never get tired and your basically made from steel all the time." I stare. The image changed and I know this one too. "That's the vibranium. They kept tons of it behind titanium doors. Planned on building some super human out of it. Supposedly even better than me." I say, somewhat hopefully. I look behind me and they look worried. "What? Did I say something?" I ask, scared. "No, no You're fine Ariana. Don't worry about anything." Bruce mutters, rushing to the lab, with the other adults following. I humph and sit on the floor, where the pictures used to be. "He can't just not tell me because I'm the youngest." "I'm 19." Wanda offers. "When's your birthday?" I ask. "January." "Still older than me. June by the way." I mutter, pissed. "You look like a sad puppy, Princess. Cheer up. We can go get the frozen coloured ice if you want?" Pietro offers, sitting next to me. "Snow cones?" I ask smiling a little. He nods and pokes my cheeks where I guess my dimples go. "Stop being all romantic-y and lets go get snow cones." Wanda smirks and pulls me by the hand to our conjoined rooms. She run to hers and I to mine. We step out almost at the exact same time. "Cute." We smile. "So you and my brother? What's going on there?" She asks, sitting in my bed. "Nothing... yeah nothing. Your brother is a good friend." I smile, thinking about it. "Wanda. Ariana. We must go if we don't want it to get dark." Pietro yells, knocking on the door.

I laughed walking around with our snow cones. The sky was a beautiful purple. I was looking towards a park when I saw something that scared me. "Go. Go this way. Now." I say, moving Pietro and Wanda the other way. "Why? Ariana what's back there?" They ask. "That man in the park. He's the guy. The one who finds new agents for Hydra. I didn't think they'd take total strangers." I mutter, to myself. "If he knew that I was here. That I worked with Shield... Oh my god, they're gonna have my head." I ramble, pacing back and forth. "Princess, you're with Shield now. I- they wouldn't let anything hurt you." Pietro whispers, hugging me. "I want in on this friend hug." Wanda squeals and hugs my other side. I couldn't help but notice how she kept smirking whenever Pietro was near me, but I just brushed it off.

Once we got back to the tower, I told the rest of the Avengers what had happened and they dismissed it, saying almost the exact same thing Pietro said in the park. I went to bed that night feeling like there was something they weren't telling me. And little did I know, that something was pretty damn important.
