Flashback 2: Scarlet & Silver

Aurelia Tempest awoke from her dreamless sleep, only to see an elderly man sitting at her right hand side.

"What the hell!" she exclaimed covering herself with the plain white sheet, grateful for the woollen pyjamas she wore since her rooms were eternally cold.

"I'm didn't mean to startle you. I was just giving you your timetable," answered the man at her bedside, she didn't hear him move, so he

"Perv," she muttered under her breath, poked her eyes out from underneath the covers, and ordered, "Just leave it here and go."

The man nodded, placed it beside her shivering body.

"I'm Doctor List, the lead scientist, by the way," he stated, as if that was to impress.

"Out please!"

Doctor List closed the door behind him, and after 45 seconds passed, she allowed herself to exit the blankets and dress for training; according to her timetable, Aurelia was going to train Wanda first.

The assassin stood shivering in her training gear on top of a silver platform painted with HYDRA's symbol, 27 inches high. Behind her was a set of shelves stacked with pillows and other soft objects, and next to that was a desk that held a file filled with photos of the twins.

The doors to her north east creaked, and Wanda Maximoff entered.

"What are we doing?" she asked, walking to the argent platform. "Training," Aurelia answered, regarding her skeptical look. Wanda scoffed, pointing to the shelves behind her, "Really? With pillows? How will they take down Stark?"

Aurelia sighed and pulled out the pillow with the most feathers stuffed inside. "If I'm being honest; we're not going to do much. I just want to see what your powers are, their strength. Things like that."

The Enhanced crossed her arms, her garment's material made Aurelia itchy from just looking. "You know what my abilities are." The assassin held the irritating pillow in between the curve of her waist, which was usually fastened into a corset when she was on a mission.

"I know. But seeing is believing."

Aurelia held out the pillow towards her and tightened her ponytail, "Now I want you to move the pillow with your telekinesis, do whatever you want- just don't hit me." Wanda grinned and raised her hands as the same scarlet energy emerged, and picked the pillow from her hands.

The pillow, once a mundane object, metamorphosed into something beautiful and terrible. The younger twin's energy encircled the pillow as it turned a circle. It was amazing; such power had been bestowed upon the younger Maximoff, and here Aurelia was, offering to demonstrate it with a pillow.

"That's amazing," she whispered, as the pillow turned from her. Wanda shrugged, her concentration on the levitating object,  "Is there anything else you would like to see?" The assassin shrugged, her plans had dissipated once the pillow returned safely into her hands. "I have no idea how you'll display the whole mind control thing, but-"

She couldn't remember much after that.

Being hypnotised from Wanda's abilities was unlike anything she'd experienced. Aurelia felt as if she was hibernating inside her body, watching her limbs move without her permission.
