PART THREE CHAPTER SIX
VICTORIA COULD FEEL WANDA'S GLARE BURNING INTO HER. They stood in an elevator in Avenger's tower; Victoria never thought she'd be stood here with the two young adults she considered as her siblings. She held hands with Pietro, to both calm his anger and nerves and also in reunion; he never wanted to lose her again. Wanda snarled at her when Victoria offered her hand out to her. She knew that deep down the Maximoffs couldn't hate her because of her name; they new and loved her before a name defined her, they were just stung at the fact she was related to what ruined their lives.
The elevator stopped as they reached the lab and Steve stepped out, the other three following him closely behind. Steve and Victoria stepped ahead whilst the twins lingered behind them, Wanda holding onto Pietro.
"I'm gonna say this once." Steve said, capturing the scientist's attention.
"How about 'nonce'?" Tony said.
"Tony." Victoria warned.
"Shut it down."
"Nope. Not gonna happen." Tony said, walking away to continue with the programme.
"You don't know what you're doing." Victoria said.
"And you do? She's not in your head?" Bruce pointed at Wanda behind her. Victoria moved to stand in the way of his finger.
"I know you're angry," Wanda said, moving out to the side of Vic.
"Oh, we're way past that. I could choke the life out of you and never change a shade."
Victoria growled, deep and guttural. "You will not lay a filthy hand on her." Steve grabbed her arm to stop the Russian from making an offence.
"Banner, after everything that's happened..." Steve stepped forward again.
"It's nothing compared to whats coming!" Tony shouted.
"You don't know what's in there!" Wanda exclaimed, her pitch matching Tony's.
"This isn't a game!"
"The creature-"
Victoria watched as blue ribbons made their way around the lab with a baffled smile on her face as sparks flew everywhere. Pietro was destroying the lab. He stopped running, holding a large cable in his hand.
"No, no. Go on. You were saying?" A gunshot was heard and time seemed to slow as a bullet flew up past Pietro's face. Wanda and Victoria screamed his name as the glass below his feet shattered and he fell through the floor. Noises began to beep and fill the lab and Victoria took that as a bad sign.
"I'm rerouting the upload." Tony said as screens began to flash red.
Steve threw his shield at the cradle as Victoria grabbed Wanda and ducked when it went bouncing over the room, flying over their heads. Steve was blasted away by Tony's suit hand and Victoria sent a blast of purple energy at him, sending him crashing into lab equipment. Wanda stood up and began conjuring energy until Bruce grabbed her, Victoria stood in front of them as he wrapped an arm around Wanda's neck, a ball of energy in her hand, pointing at him.
