Short story - Reunion (Avengers x OC, Black Widow Focused)

Chapter 8

Seven weeks later

Bruce took the cast off of Sofia's arm.

"And here we go. You are free."

"Finally."

"But please, for the love of God, take it easy and don't rush with training, because if not, then you will see your friend sooner than you think." Bruce explained to her.

"Haha, okay, I won't rush." Sofia laughed. "I don't want to see it again."

"Promise?"

"Promise."

"Great. Can you move your fingers and wrist?"

"Yes, but it still hurts a little."

"Don't worry about it, move it a little every day and everything will be fine. You can go now."

"Thanks Bruce."

She left his office and went to her room. Wanda spotted her in the hall.

"Oh, hi Sofia. How is your arm?" She noticed the lack of cast.

"Hello Wanda. It's good, it still hurts a little when I move it too much, but it's way better. How are you?"

"I'm good, thanks. A little bored actually. I don't know, I have to find something to do."

"I'm going for a walk, do you wanna join?"

"Actually, if I can, then sure."

"Great. See you in 20 minutes outside?"

"Yes, see ya."

After 20 minutes they were ready and started walking. It was a lazy chilling walk with lots of talking and laughing. It was mostly Wanda speaking.

"There was one time when me and Sam were playing badminton against Clint and Nat. Suddenly my rocket broke and the end of it hit Sam in the head." She laughed.

"Oh my God, it must hurt!" Sofia said.

"Yes, definitely, he had a big bump on his head for 4 days."

They were laughing about it for a minute. Wanda was looking at Sofia and finally asked her.

"Tell me your funny story."

"I don't have any."

"What do you mean?"

"Well, my early childhood was kinda good, but I don't remember much from it. The rest of my life wasn't funny at all." Sofia stopped, Wanda was waiting for further explanation. "My parents were murdered and I was taken to the Red Room. I am an only child, I had nobody. You probably know how it is in the 'Black Widows' Factory'. Later wasn't better at all." Sofia took a deep breath and sighed. "Sometimes I wish I had a normal childhood and teenage years full of careless times and funny stories."

"I'm sorry for your parents." Wanda said.

"I'm sorry for your brother."

Scarlet Witch stopped. She looked at her teammate with shock and confusion.

"Who told you about my brother?" She tilted her head. "How do you know Pietro?"

Sofia noticed the head tilt and a pale red light coming from her right hand.

"Woah, woah, hey, easy please. I did some research okay? I'm a spy, remember?" Sofia was trying to calm Wanda and explain everything, but the red light was getting brighter and started to form a ball. "Wanda, please, I haven't done anything wrong. I found out about him and you just before I joined you. I'm so sorry for your loss. Please, Wanda, calm down." She stepped closer and put her hand on Wanda's shoulder. They locked eyes. Wanda was slowly calming down, her powers weakened. She finally hugged Sofia.
