The Titan {Pietro Maximoff x Reader}

Chapter Seven - Little Party Trick

Freydis sat silently on one of the workbenches in the lab, watching contently as Tony and Bruce tapped on their individual screens. Natasha had left her here while she went to interrogate Loki, not wanting to leave the girl alone. Freydis huffed lightly, boredom seeming to eat away at her bones as she quietly swung her legs back and forth.

"So what's your thing kid?" Banner asked softly. Freydis looked up at the doctor who stood behind the workbench that was opposite to the one she was sitting on.

"You didn't read my file?" Freydis asked, raising an eyebrow. Bruce shrugged.

"I saw some of the videos and pictures, I thought it would be more interesting coming from you," he answered, his eyes returning to his screen. Freydis nodded, pursing her lips before speaking.

"I can manipulate matter," she sighed, hopping down from the table, "alongside pyroportation and wound transferal abilities." Banner's eyes widened, his attention immediately snapping back to Freydis. She gave him a tight smile as she walked towards the scepter, crossing her arms over her chest.

"How did they.. Do that to you?" Bruce asked, picking his words carefully, he had obviously skimmed over the 'human experimentation' section in her file. Freydis snorted, not bothering to look at the doctor.

"I don't remember," Freydis answered honestly, "they ran experiments on me from when I was an infant to about ten years old. They would 'reset' my partner and I so we would stay compliant. That led to significant memory loss." Freydis looked up to where Bruce and Tony both stared at her. "Like I said, it's all in my file," Freydis muttered, taking some of Tony's chocolate covered blueberries from a small bowl on the table beside the scepter and popping them into her mouth.

"Loki means to unleash the hulk, keep Banner in the lab," Natasha's voice rang out through Freydis's earpiece, "I'm on my way." Freydis absentmindedly nodded, not wanting to raise any alarm. Her eyes snapped up to the door as it shot open, Fury marching into the lab. He raised his brow, a scowl on his face.

"What are you doing, Mr. Stark?" he asked, his tone angry.

"Uh...kind of been wondering the same thing about you," Tony shot back in a sarcastic tone as he moved towards Freydis, lightly smacking her hand away from his bowl of blueberries. She glared over at him, curling her wrist inward, sending the bowl flying towards herself. She grinned as she caught it, popping another chocolate covered berry into her mouth. Tony sent her a light hearted glare before returning his attention back to Fury. Freydis mockingly smiled at Tony, continuing to contently snack on the chocolatey berries.

"You're supposed to be locating the Tesseract," Fury snapped at Tony, his scowl deepening.

"We are. The model's locked and we're sweeping for the signature now. When we get a hit, we'll have the location within half a mile," Bruce explained, pointing towards where Freydis stood beside a computer. Freydis chewed slowly, looking between the computer and Fury.

"And you'll get your Cube back, no muss, no fuss," Tony added, looking at the screen in front of him. "What is phase two?" Fury put his hands on his hips, sighing. A sudden bang made Freydis jump slightly, her eyes snapping to where Steve slapped an assault rifle down on the table she stood beside. Steve wore an angered look on his usually calm face. Fury, Tony, and Bruce all looked over to him.

"Phase two is SHIELD uses the cube to make weapons," Steve spoke up, obviously pissed. "Sorry, the computer was moving a little slow for me," Steve continued, his jaw clenched.

"Rogers, we gathered everything related to the Tesseract. This does not mean that we're-" Tony cut off Fury.

"I'm sorry, Nick," Tony said, flipping his screen around, "what were you lying?" Freydis's brows furrowed as her eyes scanned over plans for weapons sprawled across the screen. Freydis held back a snort at Tony's stupid play on words. A pang of anger rippled through her, her eyes snapping away from the screen to look at Fury.
