DIE WITH A SMILE | W.MAXIMOFF

- CHAPTER 3

I saw Pietro take Wanda on his back, and they came towards me, I took Wanda in my arms the second she left Pietro's back.

"- I thought I'd lost you, dada. I said, calling her by her nickname.
- You've got to be kidding. I thought I'd lost you, you didn't join us as planned, I was afraid for you. Don't ever do that again. she ordered."

-----------

"Tony! Can you come? I shout so he can hear me."

Seeing him coming, I took Wanda's hand, wary of Tony Stark.

"Don't worry, he's nice. I whispered to Wanda.

He came towards us, having removed his costume.

"We can go now. I warn
- Go where? Wanda asked, looking at me.
- To H-"

Without being able to finish my sentence, an explosion brought the ceiling down on us, and I fainted.

After a few minutes, I woke up to see just stone all around me.

"Wanda! Pietro! Tony! I tried to scream with all my might.
- Lelia, let's go! he shouts, grabbing me.
- I can't leave them there! I said."

He didn't listen to me, put on his armor and flew into the air, holding me in his arms. I screamed with all my might.

We arrived in an Avengers plane, he took off his armor and took me to a room to rest.

"Sleep well, kid. he said as he left the room."

--

Tony headed to the center of the plane to join the other Avengers, and without saying a word, he settled into one of the seats.

Where were you? You didn't tell anyone. asked Captain America.
-I was helping someone. he replied to the man.
-And why didn't you warn us? he continued.
-Because I didn't think about it, okay! he shouted angry."

Bruce stepped in between the two to stop them, while Thor stood up to talk to the others.

" - We need more information on the three. Thor continued.
-All three? Weren't there two? Bruce asked.
- We realized that there was a third one, with purple powers. Describes the god.
- You know what else she had as a distinctive sign? Natasha asked.
-Yes, she had a bracelet from Asgard. continued the man.
-Lelia.... Whisper Tony."

The others turned to him, intrigued by what he had just said.

" - What did you say? asked Bruce.
-No-nothing, I said nothing. He lied."
-Hey Tony, you can come, there's a problem! A voice cried.
-who is that? Asked Black Widow."

Thor took advantage of it to sneak towards the place, he advanced slowly without making a sound, and suddenly he opened the door of the room.

" - You... what are you doing here? asks Thor.
-Oh hi you, where's Tony? asked Lelia."

The other Avengers came behind Thor, looking at Lelia, sitting on the bed.

" - Wow, I feel so special, all the Avengers came to see me. she says sarcastically."

--

I watched them all waiting outside my door as I looked at Tony. I stood up and approached them.

" - What are you waiting for? Move. I say passing between them to walk down the hall."

I walked down the hall, zigzagging from left to right, hearing them whisper.

" - Well then, you come? I ask turning to them."

They looked at me then Tony followed and the other Avengers did the same.

" - Well, I know you're thinking, "Why would we be friends with her when she almost killed two Avengers?" And I know you don't worry. I laugh sitting on a chair.
- Who brought you here? asked Steve.
- Well, Tony, of course. I answer with a laugh.
- So... what's your name? asks Thor as he gets closer.
-Lelia, and if you want my last name is Adornetto. I reply with a smile.
-Looking! Screamed Natasha."

She went to the control screen which was also a search computer, but found nothing.

" - Nothing found. Natasha says
- Normal, it's like I no longer exist, they all erased from me. I explain.
- Okay... and where did you come from? Bruce continued.
- I was born in Vernazza, in Italy. I reply.
- Okay, how old are you? asked Captain America.
- Sixteen years. I resumed by changing position.
-Wha- I note. Says Natasha, stuttering."

Natasha looked up Vernazza's birth records on the computer in 1999, and by chance she found mine.

" - I knew I was going to find it. She says as she displays it.
- Well done. Says Thor.
- But there are only 2 information. She warns.
-Shift. I said, taking her place."

I managed to access the HYDRA network, then I started hacking into their database to find information about my childhood.
I accessed the list of people in the organization then I sort by last name, and at the top of the list, find my first name; all in two minutes.

" - Finished! I say loud looking at the others."

They all came closer to the screen and I heard Thor whisper: "we need her in the team, Cap," and I went to the screen too.

" - So, you got what you need? I ask.
-No, I think we got it all, kid. said Tony looking at me.
- Okay, and when we arrive it's a little long? I continue crossing my arms.
-Yes, because either I bleed out or nothing. said Hawkeye laughing.
-I can cure you. I said as I approached."

I crouched down to the wound and put my hand on the wound, he made a small noise of pain then blew. I concentrated and closed my eyes to channel the right amount of energy to heal him.

After a few seconds, I opened my eyes and saw his wound healed and his skin intact.

" - Well done, the new one. He says, proud of me.

-Thank you. I said to Hawkeye. I smile."

I moved on the plane, and suddenly the plane started to descend.

" - Don't worry, we're just going down to HQ. Thor says to reassure me."

I sat down on a chair and tied myself to not lose balance.

After a few minutes, they finally arrived at the HQ, Lelia was the first to get off the plane.

" - Ahh! Wow! I scream with joy."

I ran in the corridors, excited by all that, I watched the smallest things on the walls and furniture.

" - I love it! Ah! I kept yelling."

I ran to the couch, and jumped on it. The Avengers looked at me strangely.

" - What? I don't know how long I haven't seen the outside world. I justify with a smile"
