What if there was a chance to save Pietro?
Could the Maximoff twins be reunited?
What if they weren't the only ones returned?
Where will their new jobs as Avengers take them?
And will the new team be able to defeat a new threat? Together?...
I gu...
The Captain was readying me for my first mission. We were on a strange high tech plane they called a Quinjet. But, Clint was flying the aircraft, which calmed my fears slightly. I looked out the window of the cockpit only to see a blank white canvas of mountains, topped with snow.
"Where are we going, Captain?" I asked.
"Ulyanovsk, Russia."
"We're still a ways out." Clint said, before murmuring to him self "I should've had more coffee." I laughed at his groggy comment.
"Wanda, we will drop you off in Isheyevka, to avoid suspicion, there will be a ride waiting for you there, they will take you to Ulyanovsk. Once you arrive, identify the asset, and approach him, do not attempt to follow him, he will catch onto you, and disappear. Trust me. "
"Asset? Earlier you said he was my target? Who the hell is this guy?"
Steve tossed me a picture, obviously taken during surveillance.

"James Buchanan Barnes."
"The Winter Soldier, I've heard-"
"No. 'Bucky' Barnes." He insisted. "Hydra made him the Winter Soldier. He's not that. You of all people should understand."
I was taken aback by the Captain's statement. "I'm sorry." I murmured, looking at my boots in embarrassment.
"Don't be. You didn't know." He assured, looking at me with guilt. "Anyway... Approach him, you need to earn his trust, be friendly."
"Won't he see right through that?" I asked, I'd heard stories of his excellence, and terror.
"He might, but it's all we've got. Just try to convince him that you're not a threat. He probably won't remember me, so mentioning my name won't help you."
I took a deep breath, pondering any possible options. "What if he doesn't believe me?"
"Natasha will be waiting in an apartment nearby," He handed me a piece of paper with the address. "Go there if the situation gets out of hand. If the apartment isn't an option, the rest of us will be in an abandoned house 10 blocks away, Pietro can get you out of there, if worst comes to worst."
"How am I supposed to get him to come back to SHIELD with me?"
"There is a second Quinjet, Clint will be waiting to take you guys, and Natasha will fly us back."
"So, basically, this entire operation is relying on my people skills? This should be fun." I dead panned, earning a small laugh from the Captain.
