"Shit!" Tony curses. "Language!" Steve says and I have to roll my eyes. Steve still calls me "kid" and called me out the same way for saying "fuck". He kinda acts like my dad. Actually no, Alexi and Tony are way worse. Anyway Aurora then says "J.A.R.V.I.S, what's the view from upstairs?" "The central building is protected by some kind of energy shield. Strucker's technology is well beyond any other HYDRA base we've taken." J.A.R.V.I.S. replies. "Loki's scepter must be here. Strucker couldn't mount this defense without it. At long last." Thor says and I knock out few of the soldiers and say ""At long last" is lasting a little long, boys." "Yeah. I think we lost the element of surprise." Clint says. "Wait a second. No one else is going to deal with the fact that Cap just said "language?"" Serena points out. "My kid's right. She gets that from me." Tony states and I roll my eyes a bit. It was always "Serena this" and "Serena that". He never really cares about me. I gently fiddle with the black spiderweb pendant on a black chain necklace. It was a present Tony had gifted me for my 24th birthday. I love it to be honest. "I know. It just slipped out." Steve states.

I am fighting, as Pietro....wait, Pietro!?... zooms past me. I freeze in complete shock as the memories of the day I lost the Maximoffs, my sisters basically and Pietro, my love, rush back to me.

I am sitting on my bed about to go to sleep when an alarm sounds. I quickly grab my dual pistols and twin knives and run over to there. I see James, Wanda, Pietro, Olivia, Elizabeth, Lillian, Anna, Lena, Hazel and Violet and I walk to them. "What's happening?" I coldly ask. I am tired, as I had just gotten back from a long mission. "S.H.E.I.L.D." Bucky says neutrally. I sigh softly. Pietro protectivly takes me in his arms. We got together recently and I love him with everything in me. There is agents firing everywhere and that's when an explosion happens. Lena, Olivia, Anna, Bucky, Elizabeth and I are tossed to one side of the room, a huge pile of rubble over us. Bucky is right next to me. I cry quietly. I am only a scared 13 year old under everything I pretend to be. Bucky wraps his arm around me and I cry into his shoulder. Not, because I am scared, but I because realized that Wanda, Pietro, Lillian, Hazel and Violet are dead. Specifically Pietro. "Т-они ушли."(T-they're gone) I whisper softly in Russian. "Я знаю, Долл."(I know, Doll.) he whispers back softly and runs his fingers through my hair, as I sob into his right shoulder(the non-metal one).

I snap out of my thoughts, as Clint pushes me aside, considering I am about to get shot. "So I owe you another one?" I ask jokingly. I go knock out a few soldiers with just hand to hand combat and then Clint gets shoot. "Clint!" Natasha screams. "We have an enhanced in the field." Charlotte declares. "Clint's hit!" Natasha declares and I teleport there and see a ton of the soldiers. I use my telekinesis to knock them all out. Natasha looks impressed and then says "Somebody want to deal with that bunker?" That's when Hulk comes in and busts it. "Thank you." she replies. "Starks, we really need to get inside." Steve says referring Serena, Freya and Tony. "The enhanced?" Thor asks and I bite my lip. "They're both a blur. All the new player's we've faced, I've never seen this. In fact, I still haven't." "Clint's hit pretty bad, guys. We're gonna need evac." Nat states. "I can get Barton to the jet. The sooner we're gone the better. You and Stark secure the scepter." Thor states. "Copy that." Steve says.

...............................................

I go inside for the scepter to find Vi, Haze, Wands, Lily and Pietro all there. "So what is this?...A family reunion?" I ask sarcastically and they all look shocked. "We thought you died, Dani." Wanda says softly. "Quite the contrary. I found a family and am a superhero. Things HYDRA would've never let me done." I say softly. Pietro was about to go to me, but Hazel stops him. "Why are you with them?" she asks. "What do you mean?" I ask. "The Avengers!" Lillian says as if pointing out the obvious. "Because I can help people." I shrug. "But Stark is there." Violet points out. "So?" I raise an eyebrow. "You wouldn't understand, Princesa....We've kept some things from you..." Pietro says quietly. "Like what?" I tilt my head. "When we were little...well, not including Lan...my siblings and I were with our parents and that's when a shell hits and explodes. It kills our parents. The second shell hits, but doesn't go off and we wait for 2 days, staring at the word "Stark"." Wanda says quietly and Vi and Haze look traumatized. "Wanda..." Pietro says in a whisper motioning to Violet and Hazel. That's when Pietro picks me up "Sorry about this, Princesa." he then zooms and drops me away from Cap and Tony. That's when a tranquilizer shot from one of the soldiers hits my neck. I could hear Natasha screaming my name and seeing her green eyes and ruby red hair before blacking out.
